NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Information with respect to the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994 is unaudited.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Tosco Corporation and its wholly
owned subsidiaries (Tosco), including Seminole Fertilizer
Corporation (Seminole), a discontinued operation whose
principal operating assets were sold in 1993.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Nature of Business
Tosco is an independent oil refiner and marketer of
petroleum products with related distribution facilities and
domestic and international commercial activities.
Reclassifications
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified
to conform to classifications adopted in 1995.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Deposits
Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in
certificates of deposit, government securities, commercial
paper and other highly liquid investments. Investments with
original maturities of more than three months and less than 12
months are classified as short-term investments and carried at
cost which approximates market.
Tosco purchased director and officer liability insurance
coverage from its wholly owned subsidiary Loil Group Ltd.
(Loil), with limits of liability coverage of $14,000,000 at
March 31, 1995 (an amount approximately equal to the amount of
cash and investments of Loil). The assets of Loil are
restricted to payment of defense costs and claims made against
the directors and officers of Tosco. At March 31, 1995 the
portfolio's carrying value of marketable investments, considered
"available for sale" in accordance with SFAS No.
115 - "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" approximated fair value.
Margin Deposits
Pursuant to the requirements of the commodity exchanges,
margin deposits based on a percentage of the value of the
futures contracts have been placed with commodity brokers.
The margin deposits are classified as short-term deposits on
the balance sheet.
Inventories
Inventories of raw materials and products are valued at
the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
basis, or market. The net realizable value of LIFO
inventories is measured by aggregating similar pools on a
consolidated basis.
Turnarounds
Refinery processing units are periodically shut down for
major maintenance (turnarounds). The cost of turnarounds is
deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected period of benefit (the period to the next scheduled
shutdown of the unit, which generally ranges from 24 to 48
months.)

</TABLE>
7. Contingencies
Environmental exposures are difficult to assess and
estimate for numerous reasons including the complexity and
differing interpretations of governmental regulations, the
lack of reliable data, the number of potentially responsible
parties and their financial capabilities, the multiplicity of
possible solutions, the years of remedial and monitoring
activity required, and the identification of new sites. Tosco
continues to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, its liability for
environmental costs, net of liabilities transferred pursuant
to the settlement of outstanding litigation concerning
environmental issues with the predecessor owners of the Avon
Refinery. While Tosco believes that its environmental cost
accrual is adequate, should these matters be resolved
unfavorably to Tosco, they could have a material adverse
effect on its long-term consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
8. Subsequent Event
Amended Credit Agreement
Tosco amended its existing collateralized credit facility
effective April 7, 1995 (Amended Revolving Credit Facilities).
The amendment provides a one year extension and reduces the
cost of borrowings and credit availability. Cash borrowings
under the Amended Revolving Credit Facilities now bear interest
at the option of Tosco at either of three alternative rates (a
federal funds rate, a Eurodollar rate, or a base rate related to
prime) plus an incremental margin for each rate option. The
incremental margin is dependent on the credit rating of the
First Mortgage Bonds. The Amended Revolving Credit Facilities
now expires in April 1998.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Introduction
Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included
in Tosco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1994. Reference
should also be made to the Financial Statements included in
this Form 10-Q for comparative Balance Sheet and Statement of
Income data.
Tosco's Annual Report sets forth Selected Financial Data
which, in summary form, reviewed Tosco's results of operations
and capitalization over the five-year period 1990-1994. This
Management's Discussion and Analysis updates that data.

(c) Ferndale's decline in total charges and production for 1995 is due to the

(d) As illustrated by the table, refining margins vary
significantly by refinery. This variance is due to
a number of reasons including marketing conditions
in the principal areas served by the refineries,
their configuration and complexity (ability to
convert raw materials into clean products), and
maintenance schedules.
</TABLE>
Tosco incurred a net loss of $6.1 million, or ($.16) per
fully diluted share, on sales of $1.7 billion for the first
quarter of 1995, compared to net income of $38.9 million, or
$1.04 per fully diluted share, on sales of $1.5 billion for
the first quarter of 1994. During the first quarter of 1995,
Tosco announced a restructuring program designed to reduce
costs and improve operating efficiencies in response to
continuing poor refining margins. The estimated cost of
approximately $5.2 million includes the severance costs
of Avon employees. Excluding the
nonrecurring charge, 1995's net loss was $3.0 million, ($.08)
per share.
Tosco generated an operating contribution (income before
selling, general and administrative expense, net interest
expense, and income taxes) for the first quarter of 1995 of
$32.1 million, a decrease of $73.4 million from 1994. The
decline was primarily due to extremely poor refining margins
and extensive scheduled turnaround maintenance.
Avon's catalytic cracker, the refinery's principal gasoline
production unit, and the processing units at the Ferndale
Refinery were shutdown for 55 and 33 days, respectively,
during the first quarter of 1995. As a result, raw material
throughput at the Avon and Ferndale Refineries declined by
36,000 barrels per day (B/D) (from 261,000 B/D for 1994 to
225,000 B/D in 1995) and production of clean transportation
fuels (gasoline and distillates) fell by 49,200 B/D (from
193,000 B/D to 143,800 B/D). The decrease in production at
Tosco's West Coast refineries was partially offset by
increased production at the Bayway Refinery. Bayway's raw
material
throughput increased by 33,100 B/D to 294,000 B/D while clean
product production increased by 34,500 B/D to 245,800 B/D, the
highest levels of production achieved under Tosco's ownership.
While Bayway's strong operating performance
mitigated the production declines at Avon and Ferndale, Tosco
was not able to overcome weak refining margins on both coasts
of the United States. Consolidated refining margins declined
by $1.71 (approximately 33%), to $3.44. Exceptionally weak
market conditions resulted from the combined impact of a
surplus of heating oil due to the mild winter on the East
Coast of the United States and poor gasoline markets due to
the industry's inability to recover the higher production cost
of reformulated gasolines in highly competitive markets. The
poor refining results were partially offset by the strong
performance of the retail operations. Retail marketing fuel
margins averaged $.09 per gallon during the first quarter of
1995 compared to $.08 for the first quarter of 1994.
Retail volumes sold also increased by 27,600 B/D to 66,300 B/D
and operating costs increased by $5 million, over the first
quarter of 1994 primarily because of the August
and December 1994 acquisitions of the retail marketing
operations in Northern California and Arizona from BP and
Exxon, respectively.
The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense
for the first quarter of 1995 is due to significantly lower
provisions for incentive compensation and potential losses on
trade receivables, partially offset by increases in the costs
of Tosco's expanded operations. The increase in net interest
expense was primarily due to higher levels of debt and higher
interest rates.
Outlook
Results of operations continue to be determined by two
factors: the operating efficiency of the refineries and
refining and retail marketing margins. The turnarounds of
Avon's cat cracker and the Ferndale Refinery were completed in
the first quarter and throughput volumes have returned to
normal levels. Significant turnaround activity is not planned
for the balance of 1995 and assuming reasonable margins, Tosco
expects to operate the refineries at high production levels.
Refining margins have also improved over the first quarter
levels but Tosco is not able to predict whether the improved
level will continue. At March 31, 1995, Bayway had locked in
acceptable
refining margins on approximately 37% and 17% of its expected
second quarter and remaining 1995 production, respectively.
In view of uncertain refining margins
and the competitive refining environment, steps have been
taken to reduce operating costs and increase efficiencies.
Tosco's objective is to be the low-cost refiner in each of its
markets to enable Tosco to better withstand difficult times
and ensure increasing profitability in improved markets.
The $5.2 million restructuring charge, which will be paid over
the next 12 months from cash provided from operations, will be
more than offset by the anticipated annual savings of
approximately $10 million. Tosco's expansion into retail
marketing has been successful in
providing earnings in a period of poor refining margins and
Tosco continues to seek opportunities to acquire
additional retail marketing assets that allow an attractive
rate of return and complement its existing refining and retail
systems.
Cash flows and liquidity - 1995
As summarized in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash increased
by $10 million during 1995 as cash provided by operating and
financing activities of $118 million and $22 million,
respectively, exceeded cash used in investing activities of
$130 million. Cash provided by operating activities of $118
million was from cash earnings of $23 million (net loss plus
depreciation, amortization and the restructuring charge) and a
decrease in working capital of $96 million, partially offset by
a decrease from other sources of $1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $130 million,
primarily for capital additions and deferred turnaround
expenditures of $48 million and $43 million, respectively,
increases in short-term deposits of $32 million and a net
transfer to Tosco's former fertilizer operations for payment
of liabilities of $7 million. Cash generated from financing
activities totaled $22 million as net borrowings under the
revolving credit facility of $40 million exceeded
short-term bank repayments of $12 million and dividend and
other payments totaling $6 million.
Liquidity (as measured by cash, short-term investments and
deposits and unused credit facilities) decreased by $51
million due to a decrease in credit availability of $93
million partially offset by increases in cash and cash
equivalents of $10 million and short-term investments and
deposits of $32 million. At March 31, 1995, liquidity totaled
$162 million (an amount which Tosco believes is adequate to
meet its expected liquidity demands for at least the next
twelve months).
In April 1995, Tosco amended its working capital agreement to
extend its maturity date by one year to April 1998 and reduce
costs. See Note 8 to the March 31, 1995 Consolidated
Financial Statements. Tosco is reviewing other financing
alternatives to improve its financial capacity and flexibility
and further reduce costs.
Capital Expenditures and Capitalization
During the first three months of 1995, Tosco spent $48
million on budgeted capital projects primarily at the Avon
Refinery and the retail outlets. Capital spending
programs continued to address compliance with
reformulated fuel specifications, environmental
regulations and permits, operating flexibility and reliability,
personnel/process safety, and retail expansion and
modernization. Tosco
expects to fund its 1995 capital expenditures from cash
provided by operations and from available credit and other
resources.
At March 31, 1995, total shareholders' equity was $563
million, a decrease from December 31, 1994 of $12 million
due to the loss of $6 million and dividend and other
payments totaling $6 million. Debt, including current
maturities
and short-term bank borrowings, increased by $28 million to
$758 million at March 31, 1995.
