                         Independent Auditors' Report


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



We have audited the accompanying  statement of net assets available for benefits
with fund information of The Kaneb Services,  Inc. Savings Investment Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and the related  statement of changes in net assets  available
for benefits  with fund  information  for the year then ended.  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 audit. The
accompanying financial statements of The Kaneb Services, Inc. Savings Investment
Plan as of and for the year  ended  December  31,  1997  where  audited by other
auditors  whose report  thereon  dated June 24, 1998  expressed  an  unqualified
opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial  statement  presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the 1998 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the net assets  available  for benefits of the Kaneb
Services,  Inc. Savings Investment Plan as of December 31, 1998, and the changes
in net assets  available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic  financial
statements  taken as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules  of assets  held for
investment  purposes as of  December  31,  1998 and the  schedule of  reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998, are presented for the purpose
of  additional  analysis  and are not a  required  part of the  basic  financial
statements  but are  supplementary  information  required by the  Department  of
Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee
Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974. The individual fund  information in the
statement of net assets  available  for benefits and the statement of 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
changes in net assets  available for benefits of each fund.  These  supplemental
schedules and fund information are the  responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental  schedules and 1998 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.

                             SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 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. The Charles Schwab
       Trust  Company  serves as trustee  and  Leggette & Company  serves 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.

       (a)    Investments

              The Plan's  investments  are stated at fair value  based on quoted
              market prices.  Participant  loans are valued at unpaid  principal
              balance  which  approximates  fair value.  Purchases  and sales of
              securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

       (b)    Federal Income Taxes

              The Internal  Revenue Service ("IRS") has ruled the Plan meets the
              requirements of Section 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  accounts is distributed or
              made available to him in an unqualified manner.

              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 1998 and 1997 was
              $10,000  and $9,500,  respectively.  Participant  compensation  in
              excess  of  $160,000  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.



       (c)    Use of Estimates

              The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
              generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
              assets,  liabilities,  and  changes  therein,  and  disclosure  of
              contingent  assets and  liabilities.  Actual  results could differ
              from those estimates.

(3)    Investment Programs

       The Plan's investments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

       * Represents 5% or more of total net assets available for benefits.

       Each   participant   has  the  option  to  specify  the   investment   of
       contributions  made through payroll  deductions and 2% employer mandatory
       contributions  into any one of, or divided  among,  each of the available
       investment  funds mentioned above for the periods ended December 31, 1998
       and 1997. Employer matching contributions are invested in the Kaneb Stock
       Fund.

       Contributions  designated  to the Kaneb Stock Fund are  invested in Kaneb
       Services, Inc. Common Stock. The Plan either purchases shares in the open
       market at the prevailing market price or shares are contributed  directly
       by the Sponsor based upon the closing trade price on the last day of each
       month.

       Contributions  designated to the Schwab  Retirement Money Market Fund are
       invested  primarily  in  a  short-term  portfolio  of  commercial  paper,
       certificates  of  deposit,  corporate  debt  obligations  and other  bank
       issues.

       Contributions  designated to the Fidelity Mt. Vernon Growth  Company Fund
       are invested in the common stock and convertible  securities of companies
       which have above-average growth potential, such as lesser known companies
       in new and emerging areas of the economy or larger revitalized  companies
       that hold a strong position in the market.

       Contributions  designated  to the T.  Rowe  Price  New  Income  Fund  are
       invested in income-producing investment-grade debt securities.

       Contributions  designated to the Warburg Pincus  Emerging Growth Fund are
       invested in the common stock of smaller companies which have passed their
       start-up  phase and show  positive  earnings  and  prospects of achieving
       significant profit and gain in a relatively short period of time.

       Contributions designated to the Vanguard Index 500 Portfolio are invested
       in all  500  stocks  in the S&P  500  Index  in  approximately  the  same
       proportions  as they are  represented  in the S&P 500. This Fund seeks to
       match the S&P 500 Index.

       Contributions  designated  to the Janus  Worldwide  Fund are  invested in
       common  stocks  of  foreign  and  domestic  issuers.  This  Fund  has the
       flexibility  to invest on a worldwide  basis in companies of any size and
       seeks  long-term  growth  of  capital  in a  manner  consistent  with the
       preservation of capital.

       Contributions  designated to the Strong  Government  Securities  Fund are
       primarily invested in U.S. government  securities.  The Fund's net assets
       may also be invested in other investment-grade debt obligations.

(4)    Contributions

       Sponsor  contributions to the Kaneb Stock Fund may be made in the form of
       Kaneb  Services,  Inc. Common Stock purchased by the Sponsor or cash with
       which the trustee  subsequently  purchases  Kaneb  Services,  Inc. Common
       Stock on the open market.  During 1998, Sponsor contributions of $621,509
       and  participant  contributions  of $711,864  were used by the trustee to
       purchase 312,266 shares of Kaneb Services,  Inc. Common Stock on the open
       market.  During 1997,  Sponsor  contributions of $523,982 and participant
       contributions  of $560,168  were used by the trustee to purchase  306,205
       shares of Kaneb Services, Inc. Common Stock on the open market.

       Contributions  receivable at December 31, 1998 and 1997 included $103,311
       and  $81,284 of  employer  contributions  and  $164,111  and  $148,608 of
       contributions withheld from participants' compensation, respectively.

       All Plan  contributions  are  participant  directed with the exception of
       employer matching  contributions which are automatically  invested in the
       Kaneb Stock Fund.

(5)    Distributions and Withdrawals

       Distributions   and   withdrawals   represent   distributions   to   Plan
       participants  who have  retired,  terminated  employment  or applied  and
       qualified for a hardship distribution.

(6)    Forfeitures

       At  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  forfeited  nonvested  accounts  totaled
       $26,929  and  $42,020,   respectively.   These   amounts,   forfeited  by
       participants  upon  withdrawing  from the  Plan,  will be used to  reduce
       future  employer  contributions.  These  amounts  may also be credited to
       their account upon returning to the Plan if certain requirements are met.

                                                                ------------
       Benefits paid to participants per the Form 5500          $  1,505,608
                                                                ============

       Amounts  allocated to withdrawing  participants  are recorded on the Form
       5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment
       prior to December 31 but not yet paid as of that date.

(8)    Plan Termination

       Although  it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the Sponsor has the
       right under the Plan to discontinue its  contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the  provisions  of ERISA.  In the event of
       Plan  termination,  participants  will become 100 percent vested in their
       accounts.

(9)    Year 2000 (unaudited)

       The Plan could be adversely affected if the computer systems and those of
       service providers used by the Plan or the Trustee do not properly process
       and calculate  date related  information  from and after January 1, 2000.
       This is commonly  known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Sponsor is taking
       steps that it believes are  reasonably  designed to address the Year 2000
       Problem with  respect to the computer  systems that it uses and to obtain
       satisfactory  assurances that comparable steps are being taken by each of
       the Plan's other major service providers.  At this time,  however,  there
       can be no  assurance  that these  steps will be  sufficient  to avoid any
       material adverse effect on the Plan's  activities and,  accordingly,  its
       net assets available for benefits and changes therein.
