KANEB SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  unaudited  condensed   consolidated   financial  statements  of  Kaneb
     Services,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries  (the  "Company") for the three month
     periods  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  have been  prepared in  accordance
     with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applied on a  consistent
     basis.  Significant  accounting  policies  followed  by the Company and its
     subsidiaries  are  disclosed  in the  notes to the  consolidated  financial
     statements  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
     year ended  December 31, 1999. In the opinion of the Company's  management,
     the accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial statements contain the
     adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
     fairly  the  consolidated   financial  position  of  the  Company  and  its
     consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2000 and the consolidated results of
     their  operations  and cash flows for the periods  ended March 31, 2000 and
     1999.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not
     necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
     ending December 31, 2000.


2.   ACQUISITION BY KPP

     On February 1, 1999,  Kaneb Pipe Line Partners,  L.P.  ("KPP") acquired six
     terminals in the United Kingdom from GATX Terminals Limited for (pound)22.6
     million  (approximately  $37.2  million)  plus  transaction  costs  and the
     assumption of certain  liabilities.  The  acquisition,  which was initially
     financed  by term  loans  from a bank,  has been  accounted  for  using the
     purchase method of accounting.  $13.3 million of the term loans were repaid
     in July 1999 with the  proceeds  from a public  offering  of KPP units (see
     Note 3). The remaining portion ($25.9 million) is due in January 2002.


3.   PUBLIC OFFERING OF KPP UNITS

     In July 1999, KPP issued 2.25 million limited partnership units in a public
     offering at $30.75 per unit, generating  approximately $65.6 million in net
     proceeds.  A portion of the  proceeds was used to repay in full KPP's $15.0
     million  promissory note, KPP's $25.0 million revolving credit facility and
     $18.3  million of KPP's term loans  (including  $13.3 million in term loans
     resulting from the United Kingdom terminal  acquisition referred to in Note
     2). As a result of KPP issuing additional units to unrelated  parties,  the
     Company's  pro-rata  share  of the net  assets  of KPP  increased  by $16.8
     million.  Accordingly, in the third quarter of 1999, the Company recognized
     a $16.8  million gain before  deferred  income taxes of $6.4  million.  The
     transaction  reduced the Company's limited partner interest in KPP from 31%
     to 28%.


4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Comprehensive  income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is

     Options to purchase  158,897 and 106,232 shares of common stock at weighted
     average prices of $5.43 and $4.26,  were  outstanding at March 31, 2000 and
     1999,  respectively,  but were not included in the  computation  of diluted
     earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the
     average market price of the common stock. Additionally, the Company's 8.75%
     convertible  subordinated  debentures were excluded from the computation of
     diluted  earnings  per share  because the effect of assumed  conversion  is
     anti-dilutive.


6.   CONTINGENCIES

     The operations of the Company are subject to Federal,  state and local laws
     and  regulations  relating to protection of the  environment.  Although the
     Company  believes  that  its  operations  are in  general  compliance  with
     applicable  environmental  regulations,   risks  of  additional  costs  and
     liabilities are inherent in its  operations,  and there can be no assurance
     that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company.
     Moreover,  it is possible  that other  developments,  such as  increasingly
     stringent environmental laws, regulations, enforcement policies thereunder,
     and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations
     of the Company,  could result in substantial  costs and  liabilities to the
     Company.


     Certain  subsidiaries  of KPP are  defendants in a lawsuit filed in a Texas
     state court in 1997 by Grace Energy Corporation ("Grace"),  the entity from
     which KPP acquired ST Services in 1993. The lawsuit involves  environmental
     response and  remediation  allegedly  resulting  from jet fuel leaks in the
     early 1970's from a pipeline. The pipeline,  which connected a former Grace
     terminal  with  Otis  Air  Force  Base,  was  abandoned  in  1973,  and the
     connecting  terminal was sold to an unrelated entity in 1976. Grace alleges
     that it has incurred  since 1996 expenses of  approximately  $3 million for
     response and remediation required by the State of Massachusetts and that it
     expects to incur  additional  expenses in the future.  On January 20, 2000,
     the  Massachusetts  Department of Environmental  Protection  notified KPP's
     subsidiary  that it had reason to believe  that the  subsidiary  was also a
     Potentially  Responsible  Party.  The  subsidiary  replied  to that  letter
     denying  any   responsibility   for  the   Massachusetts   response  and/or
     remediation. Future expenses could potentially include claims by the United
     States  Government,  as described below. Grace alleges that subsidiaries of
     KPP acquired  the  abandoned  pipeline,  as part of the  acquisition  of ST
     Services in 1993,  and assumed  responsibility  for  environmental  damages
     caused by the jet fuel leaks from the  pipeline.  Grace is seeking a ruling
     that  these  subsidiaries  are  responsible  for  all  present  and  future
     remediation  expenses for these leaks and that Grace has no  obligation  to
     indemnify these subsidiaries for these expenses.  The case is set for trial
     in May 2000.

     The consistent  position of KPP's subsidiaries is that they did not acquire
     the  abandoned  pipeline  as part of the  1993 ST  transaction  and did not
     assume  any  responsibility  for  the  environmental  damage.  In an  order
     granting  partial  summary  judgment,  the trial  judge has ruled  that the
     pipeline  was an asset  of the  company  acquired  by the  subsidiary.  The
     subsidiaries  are continuing  with their defense that the pipeline had been
     abandoned  prior to the  acquisition of ST Services and could not have been
     included  in  the  assets  they   acquired.   The   defendants   have  also
     counter-claimed  against  Grace for fraud and mutual  mistake,  among other
     defenses.  If they are  successful  at trial  with  their  defenses  and/or
     counterclaims, the judge's partial summary judgment order will be moot. The
     defendants  also believe they have certain rights to  indemnification  from
     Grace under the  acquisition  agreement  with Grace.  These rights  include
     claims  against  Grace for  breaches  of  numerous  representations  in the
     agreement  including the  environmental  representations.  The  acquisition
     agreement includes Grace's agreement to indemnify the subsidiaries  against
     60% of post-closing  environmental  remediation costs, subject to a maximum
     indemnity payment of $10 million.

     The Otis Air Force Base is a part of the Massachusetts Military Reservation
     ("MMR"),  which  has  been  declared  a  Superfund  Site  pursuant  to  the
     Comprehensive  Environmental Response,  Compensation and Liability Act. The
     MMR Site contains nine groundwater  contamination  plumes, two of which are
     allegedly associated with the pipeline,  and various other waste management
     areas of  concern,  such as  landfills.  The United  States  Department  of
     Defense and the United States Coast Guard, pursuant to a Federal Facilities
     Agreement,  has been  responding to the Government  remediation  demand for
     most of the  contamination  problems at the MMR Site. Grace and others have
     also  received and  responded to formal  inquiries  from the United  States
     Government in connection with the environmental damages allegedly resulting
     from the jet fuel leaks. KPP's  subsidiaries have voluntarily  responded to
     an invitation  from the Government to provide  information  indicating that
     they do not own the pipeline. In connection with a court-ordered  mediation
     between Grace and the subsidiaries,  the Government  advised the parties in
     April 1999 that it has  identified  the two spill areas that it believes to
     be related to the  pipeline  that is the  subject  of the Grace  suit.  The
     Government  advised the parties that it believes it has  incurred  costs of
     approximately  $34  million,  and  expects in the future to incur  costs of
     approximately $55 million,  for remediation of one of the spill areas. This
     amount was not intended to be a final accounting of costs or to include all
     categories of costs.  The Government also advised the parties that it could
     not at that time allocate its costs  attributable to the second spill area.
     KPP believes that the ultimate cost of the remediation,  while substantial,
     will be  considerably  less than the  Government  has  indicated.  KPP also
     believes that,  even if the lawsuit  determines  that the subsidiary is the
     owner of the  pipeline,  the  defendants  have defenses to any claim of the
     Government.  Any claims by the Government  could be material in amount and,
     if  made  and  ultimately  sustained  against  KPP's  subsidiaries,   could
     adversely   affect  KPP's  ability  to  pay  cash   distributions   to  its
     unitholders, including the Company.

     The Company has other  contingent  liabilities  resulting from  litigation,
     claims  and  commitments  incident  to the  ordinary  course  of  business.
     Management  believes,  based on the advice of  counsel,  that the  ultimate
     resolution of such  contingencies will not have a materially adverse effect
     on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     Operating Results:


     Pipeline and Terminaling Services

     This business  segment includes the operations of Kaneb Pipe Line Partners,
     L.P.  ("KPP").  KPP provides  transportation  services of refined petroleum
     products  through a pipeline  system that  extends  through the  Midwestern
     states as a common carrier and provides  terminaling  and storage  services
     for petroleum products,  specialty chemicals and other liquids. The Company
     operates,  manages and controls the pipeline and terminaling  operations of
     KPP  through  its 2% general  partner  interest  and a 28% (as of March 31,
     2000) limited partner interest in the partnership.

     On February 1, 1999,  KPP acquired six terminals in the United Kingdom from
     GATX Terminals  Limited for  approximately  $37.2 million plus  transaction
     costs and the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition of the six
     locations, which have an aggregate tankage capacity of 5.4 million barrels,
     was initially financed by term loans from a bank. $13.3 million of the term
     loans  were  repaid  in July  1999  with the  proceeds  from a public  unit
     offering.  (See Liquidity and Capital  Resources).  Three of the terminals,
     handling  petroleum  products,  chemicals and molten sulfur,  respectively,
     operate in England. The remaining three facilities, two in Scotland and one
     in Northern Ireland, are primarily petroleum  terminals.  All six terminals
     are served by deepwater marine docks.

     For the three months  ended March 31,  2000,  revenues for the Pipeline and
     Terminaling business were flat when compared to 1999, due to a $0.2 million
     decrease in revenues in the terminaling  business and $0.1 million increase
     in  pipeline  revenues.   For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,
     terminaling  revenue increases  resulting from the United Kingdom and other
     1999  terminal  acquisitions  were more than  offset by  decreases  in tank
     utilization  resulting from unfavorable market  conditions.  Average annual
     tankage  utilized for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  decreased to
     21.0  million  barrels  from 21.9  barrels  for the  comparable  prior year
     period, primarily the result of unusually high utilization at KPP's largest
     petroleum  storage  facility in 1999.  For the three months ended March 31,
     2000, average annualized  revenues per barrel of tankage utilized increased
     to $4.09 per  barrel,  compared to $3.95 per barrel for the same prior year
     period,  the  result of the  storage  of a higher  proportionate  volume of
     specialty chemicals, which are historically at higher per barrel rates than
     petroleum  products.  Pipeline barrel miles shipped totaled 4.0 billion for
     each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

     The $2.0 million  decrease in operating  income for the quarter ended March
     31,  2000,  compared  to  1999,  is  due  to a  $1.9  million  decrease  in
     terminaling  operating  income  and a $0.1  million  decrease  in  pipeline
     operating income. The decrease in terminaling  operating income is a result
     of the decrease in tank utilization.

     The  interest of outside  non-controlling  partners in KPP's net income was
     $6.8 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
     1999,  respectively.  Distributions  paid  to the  outside  non-controlling
     unitholders of KPP aggregated  approximately  $9.3 million and $7.7 million
     for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Capital  expenditures  of $2.3 million for each of the three month  periods
     ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999  relate  to the  maintenance  of  existing
     operations. Routine maintenance capital expenditures for 2000 are currently
     estimated to be between $12 million and $15 million.


     Product Marketing Services

     The Company's  petroleum  products  marketing  business provides  wholesale
     motor fuel marketing services throughout the Great Lakes and Rocky Mountain
     regions, as well as California.

     For the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  revenues  increased by $49.0
     million,  or 156%, and operating income increased by $0.6 million, or 165%,
     when compared to the same 1999 period, primarily a result of an increase in
     both sales  volumes and sales price.  Total  gallons  sold  increased to 95
     million in the first  quarter of 2000,  compared to 68 million in the first
     quarter of 1999, due to a combination of increasing the number of terminals
     through  which  products  are sold and  increasing  the volumes at existing
     locations.  The average price realized per gallon of product sold increased
     to $0.85 in the  first  quarter  of 2000,  compared  to $0.46  for the same
     period in 1999.

     The Company's information technology services business is conducted through
     a variety of wholly-owned subsidiaries. The information technology services

     For the three ended March 31, 2000,  revenues for the  Industrial  Services
     segment  decreased by $1.2  million,  or 5%, when compared to the same 1999
     period,  due to overall  decreases  in  underpressure  and other  services,
     primarily in Continental  Europe. In the United States,  revenues increased
     by 5%,  compared to the same period in 1999, due to increases in turnaround
     services  resulting from improved market  conditions.  In Europe,  revenues
     decreased by 9%, due primarily to the decrease in  underpressure  and other
     services in Continental Europe.  Asia-Pacific  revenues decreased by 10% in
     the first  quarter of 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,  due to a
     decline  in   turnaround   services  and  product  sales   throughout   the
     Asia-Pacific region.

     Overall, Industrial Services operating income increased by $1.3 million for
     the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  when  compared to the same 1999
     period,  due to improved market conditions in the United States and overall
     operating  efficiencies  realized as a result of streamlining the segment's
     workforce in 1999 to match the market  conditions  in each of the operating
     regions.


     Income Taxes

     In the fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Company  recognized  $37.1  million in
     expected  benefits  from  prior  years' tax  losses  (change  in  valuation
     allowance) that are available to offset future taxable income.  The Company
     reduced the  valuation  allowance  as a result of its  reevaluation  of the
     realizability  of income tax benefits from future  operations.  The Company
     considered  positive  evidence  supported  by recent  historical  levels of
     taxable income,  the scheduled  reversal of deferred tax  liabilities,  tax
     planning strategies, revised estimates of future taxable income growth, and
     expiration  periods of NOLs ($67.4  million  expires in 2002),  among other
     things,  in making this  evaluation and  concluding  that it is more likely
     than not that the Company  will realize the benefit of its net deferred tax
     assets.  Ultimate  realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon,
     among other factors,  the Company's ability to generate  sufficient taxable
     income  within the  carryforward  periods  (2000 to 2007) and is subject to
     change  depending  on the tax laws in  effect  in the  years  in which  the
     carryforwards  are used.  As a result of the 1999  recognition  of expected
     future income tax benefits, the results of operations for the first quarter
     of 2000 reflects (and subsequent periods will reflect) a full effective tax
     rate provision.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During  the first  three  months of 2000,  the  Company's  working  capital
     requirements  for operations and capital  expenditures  were funded through
     the use of internally generated funds.

     Cash  provided by  operations  was $20.1  million and $15.3 million for the
     three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.   Capital
     expenditures  (excluding  acquisitions)  were  $3.0  million  for the three
     months  ended March 31,  2000,  compared to $2.7  million in 1999.  Routine
     maintenance  capital  expenditures  in 2000 have been funded by  internally
     generated funds.

     In July 1999, KPP issued 2.25 million limited partnership units in a public
     offering at $30.75 per unit, generating  approximately $65.6 million in net
     proceeds.  A portion of the  proceeds was used to repay in full KPP's $15.0
     million  promissory note, KPP's $25.0 million revolving credit facility and
     $18.3  million of KPP's term loans  (including  $13.3 million in term loans
     resulting from the United Kingdom terminal acquisition).
