TOSCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
(ALL INFORMATION IS UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Tosco Corporation and subsidiaries
("Tosco" or the "Company") reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows. Such financial statements are presented in
accordance with disclosure requirements established by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited, interim, consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130") and
Statement of Position No. 98-1 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP No. 98-1"). SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (net income plus all other non-owner changes in equity). SOP No 98-1
provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. The adoption of these accounting pronouncements did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998.

1997 and SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132") during February 1998. SFAS No. 131
establishes disclosure standards regarding information about operating segments.
SFAS No. 132 changes the disclosure requirements for pension and other
postretirement benefits, but does not change any existing measurement or
recognition provisions. The Company will comply with the expanded disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 131 and SFAS No. 132 with its 1998 annual financial
statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
INTRODUCTION
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's
1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Annual Report sets forth Selected Financial
Data that, in summary form, reviewed Tosco's results of operations and
capitalization over the five year period 1993 through 1997. This Management's
Discussion and Analysis updates that data.
Tosco completed its acquisition of Union Oil Company of California's ("Unocal")
West Coast petroleum refining, marketing, and related supply and transportation
assets (the "76 Products Acquisition") on March 31, 1997. The assets acquired
are comprised of two petroleum refining systems, a retail gasoline system
consisting of 76-branded gasoline service stations, a distribution system
comprised of company-owned oil storage terminals, rights with respect to crude
oil and product pipelines, the world-wide rights to the "76" and "Union" brands,
and Unocal's lubricants manufacturing, distribution, and marketing business.

</TABLE>
1998 FIRST QUARTER COMPARED TO 1997 FIRST QUARTER
Tosco earned net income of $41.5 million ($0.26 per share) on sales of $3.0
billion during the first quarter of 1998, compared to earnings of $3.6 million
($0.03 per share) on sales of $2.4 billion in the corresponding period of 1997.
The increase in sales is attributable to higher refinery production and retail
fuel volumes resulting from the 76 Products Acquisition (on March 31, 1997) and
the reopening of the Trainer Refinery (on May 8, 1997), which more than offset a
reduction in refinery product and retail fuel prices.
Tosco generated an operating contribution (sales less cost of sales) of $186.2
million for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $85.8 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. The improvement was attributable to refining
($63.5 million) and retail ($36.9 million) operations.
Refining operating contribution was $112.8 million for the 1998 first quarter
compared to $49.3 million in the 1997 first quarter. This increase was due to
higher production volumes resulting from the 76 Products Acquisition and the
reopening of the Trainer Refinery. Production volumes for the first quarter of
1997 were reduced by scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns at certain refinery
units. The favorable production results were reduced by lower operating margins
due to weak product demand for East Coast heating oil and West Coast gasoline.
Refining operating contribution for the 1997 first quarter includes insurance
recovery accruals related to the unscheduled shutdowns of the Bayway Refinery
cat cracker and the Avon Refinery hydrocracker.
<PAGE>
Retail operating contribution was $73.4 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 compared to $36.5 million in the comparable period in 1997. The 1998
increase was due to increased fuel volumes from the 76 Products assets and
higher blended fuel margins for the company.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 increased by $22.9 million compared to the corresponding period in 1997
primarily due to the 76 Products Acquisition and higher incentive
compensation costs.
Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased by $12.7
million compared to the 1997 period. This increase is primarily due to higher
debt levels incurred to finance Tosco's expanded operations.
OUTLOOK
Results of operations are primarily determined by the operating efficiency of
the refineries, and refining and retail fuel margins. Normal levels of
maintenance are scheduled for the remainder of 1998 and Tosco expects, given
reasonable margins, to operate its refineries at high levels during 1998.
Refining margins at the beginning of the 1998 second quarter have improved over
the weak first quarter due to stronger demand for gasoline. However, retail
margins continue to be poor. Tosco is not able to predict the level of refinery
and retail fuel operating margins for the balance of 1998 because of the
uncertainties associated with oil markets. In view of uncertain operating
margins and highly competitive markets, Tosco is committed to improving its
results by lowering costs without compromising safety, reliability, or
environmental compliance.
In February 1998, Tosco entered into a long-term contract with Occidental
Petroleum Company ("Occidental") to buy a substantial portion of Occidental's
crude oil production from the Elk Hills oil and gas field in California at
market-related pricing. Tosco plans to build a 14 mile pipeline from the Elk
Hills field to existing lines that serve the San Francisco Area Refinery System.
This domestic supply of light crude oil should reduce the need for Tosco to
purchase waterborne crude oil.
CASH FLOWS
As summarized in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents increased by $3.1 million during the first quarter of 1998 as cash
provided by financing activities of $119.7 million exceeded cash used in
operating and investing activities of $33.5 million and $83.1 million,
respectively.
Net cash used in operating activities of $33.5 million was from cash earnings
(net income plus depreciation and amortization) of $117.5 million and $1.5
million from other uses, net of an increase in net operating assets and
liabilities of $152.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $83.1 million due to capital
additions ($65.3 million), spending for turnarounds, deferred charges, and other
assets ($13.4 million), and other items ($4.4 million).
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $119.7 million as net
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $205.0 million and other
items of $0.7 million exceeded scheduled and early principal payments on
long-term debt of $76.6 million and dividend payments of $9.4 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998, liquidity (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities
and deposits, and unused credit facilities) totaled $680.3 million, a $174.6
million decrease from the December 31, 1997 balance of $854.9 million. Cash and
cash equivalents increased by $3.1 million, marketable securities and deposits
increased by $6.3 million, and unused credit facilities decreased by $184.0
million.
At March 31, 1998, total shareholders' equity was $2.0 billion, a $32.6 million
increase from the December 31, 1997 balance. This increase was due to net income
of $41.5 million and other items of $0.5 million less Common Stock dividends of
$9.4 million. Debt (short-term bank borrowings, current and non-current
maturities of long-term debt, and revolving credit facilities) increased by
$140.8 million during the three month period ended March 31, 1998 to $1.7
billion due to Tosco's borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of
early and scheduled principal payments under long-term debt agreements.
<PAGE>
The ratio of long-term debt (revolving credit facilities and non-current portion
of long-term debt) to total capitalization (revolving credit facilities,
non-current portion of long-term debt, Trust Preferred Securities, and total
shareholders' equity) increased from 41% at December 31, 1997 to 43% at March
31, 1998.
In January 1997, Tosco filed a shelf registration statement providing for the
issuance of up to $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of debt and equity
securities. Such securities may be offered, separately or together, in amounts
and at prices and terms to be set forth in one or more supplements to the shelf
registration statement. On May 30, 1997, Tosco issued 25.3 million shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this shelf registration statement for gross proceeds of
$721.1 million. At March 31, 1998, Tosco had available for issue $778.9 million
of securities pursuant to this shelf registration statement.
The Revolving Credit Facilities, as well as funds potentially available from the
issuance of securities, provide Tosco with adequate resources to meet its
expected liquidity demands for at least the next twelve months.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Tosco spent $65.2 million on budgeted capital projects during the first quarter
of 1998, primarily at its retail sites (enhancing existing sites and upgrading
underground storage tanks) and at the San Francisco Area Refinery System.
Refinery capital spending programs were primarily for the completion of projects
related to compliance with environmental regulations and permits,
personnel/process safety programs, and operating flexibility and reliability
projects.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Tosco recognizes the need to ensure that its computer operations and operating
systems will not be adversely affected by the Year 2000 Issue and is cognizant
of the time-sensitive nature of the problem. Since 1996, Tosco has been
proactively upgrading and replacing its business systems while integrating the
Circle K and 76 Products acquisitions. Tosco has assessed how its critical
business systems may be affected by the Year 2000 Issue and has formulated and
is implementing plans to address the known Year 2000 Issues. These plans, as
they relate to business systems, involve a combination of additional software
upgrades, replacements, and modifications. Tosco believes the cost of Year 2000
compliance for its business systems will not have a material adverse effect on
Tosco's future operating results or financial position. Tosco is currently
assessing the impact of the Year 2000 Issue on its field systems and software
suppliers. Accordingly, Tosco is unable to estimate the costs related to these
Year 2000 Issues. However, Tosco does not believe its Year 2000 costs related to
its field systems and software suppliers will have a material adverse effect on
Tosco's future operating results or financial position.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about
