                                   PART I

Item 1.    Business
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Kenan Transport Company (the Company), a North Carolina
corporation, was incorporated in 1949. It ranks among the twenty largest
tank truck carriers in the country.

     The Company is engaged in the transportation of bulk commodities in
intrastate and interstate commerce.  The Company primarily serves the
petroleum, propane gas and chemical industries. Operations are
concentrated in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Interstate operations between these
states and points throughout the United States are served.

     The Company provides transportation services to meet its customers'
daily requirements through a network of terminals and a fleet of 437
tractors and 668 specialized trailers. The Company's terminals are
strategically located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, near the major pipeline terminals,
chemical production centers and major ports serving the Southeast.

     The Company's terminals operate as "profit centers" staffed with
experienced terminal managers, trained dispatchers, maintenance personnel
and professional drivers. The Company has 810 employees.

     The Company has a large number of competitors with no single
competitor being dominant in the industry.  The Company competes with the
trucking operations of the major oil and chemical companies as well as
with independent carriers.  Competition is primarily based on price and
customer service.  The Company considers its business to be somewhat
seasonal with the winter heating season providing the highest demand
levels.

     In addition to transportation of petroleum and chemical products,
Company operations include storage of fuel in underground storage tanks
for use in its operations.  Management is committed to the protection of
the environment and has procedures in place to ensure compliance with
federal and state regulations and to provide appropriate response to
spills and leaks that occur. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

     The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising
in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of management that
these matters will have no significant impact on the financial statements
of the Company.


Item 2.    Properties
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Company owns twenty real properties located in five states.  At
December 31, 1995, these properties had a net book value of $6,145,000. 
Additionally, the Company leases ten real properties under leases
generally for terms of one to five years.  The properties are used for
offices, terminals and vehicle maintenance facilities in the operations
of the Company.

     The Company transports freight using over-the-road tractors and
trailers which it owns.  At December 31, 1995, revenue equipment owned by
the Company, less accumulated depreciation, totaled $31,439,000.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations - 1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------------------------------
    Revenue increased 4% from 1994 to $61,717,000. The $2,617,000
increase in revenue reflects implementation of transportation services
under a long-term contract with Cary Oil Company, Inc. in July and the
expansion into Tennessee and Alabama during the year. Miles operated
increased 3% to 40,972,000 in 1995.

    Operating expenses increased 6% in 1995 to $56,593,000. The
$3,280,000 increase was due primarily to the 3% increase in miles
operated, added fixed costs incurred in connection with the expansion of
our markets into Tennessee and Alabama, start-up costs associated with
new business and enhanced driver pay and benefit programs. Wages and
employee benefits increased to 50.9% of revenue from 50.1% in 1994,
largely as a result of the enhancements to driver pay and benefits. The
increase in fuel, parts, tires and other operating expenses from 18.3% to
18.7% of revenue in 1995, was due to a 2% increase in average fuel prices
and added costs incurred to place operating personnel and equipment in
the Tennessee and Alabama expansion areas. Continued control over
accident claims and insurance costs resulted in a reduction from 4.3% of
revenue to 4.2% in 1995. The increase in communication, utilities and
rent expense to 2.5% of revenue from 2.0% in 1994 resulted from an
increase in equipment and facilities rent and additional communication
costs to operate our new on-line dispatch system.  Depreciation expense
remained unchanged at 9.0% of revenue. 


Results of Operations - 1994 Compared to 1993
- ---------------------------------------------
    Revenue increased 4% from 1993 to $59,100,000. The increase reflects
growth in demand for transportation services, changes in revenue yield
and rates necessary to cover inflationary cost increases. Miles operated
increased 1% to 39,671,000 in 1994.

    Operating expenses increased 3% from 1993 to $53,313,000 due
primarily to inflationary cost increases. Wages and employee benefits
expense remained virtually unchanged at 50.1% of revenue compared to
50.2% in 1993. An increase in driver pay rates was offset by a reduction
in employee health insurance claims expense. Fuel, parts, tires and other
operating expenses decreased from 18.9% to 18.3% of revenue in 1994 as a
result of a 6% decline in average fuel prices. Accident claims and
insurance expense was generally flat, decreasing from 4.5% to 4.3% of
revenue in 1994. A new computerized dispatch system caused
communications, utilities and rent expense to increase from 1.9% of
revenue to 2.0% in 1994. Depreciation expense increased to 9.0% of
revenue in 1994 from 8.6% due primarily to new equipment purchases.

    Federal legislation was enacted during 1994 which generally preempts
state regulation of intrastate trucking rates, routes and entry.
Accordingly, intrastate operating rights of $823,000 (net of tax) were
written off as an extraordinary item in 1994.






                                  Page 7<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ---------------------------------------------
    The financial condition of the Company is strong. At December 31,
1995, working capital was $9,568,000 compared to $12,260,000 at December
31, 1994 and the current ratios were 1.98 and 2.24, respectively. The
decrease in working capital reflects the Company's additional investment
in operating property during the year. Cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments totaled $10,106,000 at December 31, 1995 and the Company
had no debt outstanding under its $7,000,000 bank line of credit.

    Net capital expenditures for 1996, which include the cost of
replacing tractors and tank trailers and constructing terminal
facilities, are expected to be $11,700,000. Management expects that
capital expenditures and working capital requirements in 1996 will be
satisfied by internal cash resources.

    The Company's operations require the storage of fuel for use in its
tractors in both underground and aboveground tanks. In 1989 the Company
implemented a program to upgrade its fuel storage facilities. Under the
program, the Company incurs costs to replace tanks, remediate soil
contamination resulting from overfills, spills and leaks and monitor
facilities on an ongoing basis. These costs are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the related amount can be
reasonably estimated. Such costs have not been and are not expected to be
material to the Company's operations or liquidity.

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kenan Transport Company:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kenan
Transport Company (a North Carolina corporation) and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kenan
Transport Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         KENAN TRANSPORT COMPANY
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation of Financial Statements
    The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with
    generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of
    Kenan Transport Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All
    significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
    eliminated.

    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
    and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
    at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
    revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
    could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments  
    The Company classifies all investments maturing within three months
    from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. All other investments
    maturing within twelve months of the balance sheet date are
    classified as short-term investments. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
    the Company had short-term investments in municipal bonds totaling
    $6,886,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. The bonds have been
    classified as held-to-maturity investments and were recorded at cost,
    which approximates market value.

Tires
    The cost of replacement tires is included in operating supplies and
    parts in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. When installed
    on revenue equipment, tire costs are included in prepayments and
    amortized over their useful life based on mileage.

Operating Property 
    Operating property is recorded at cost, net of tires. Maintenance and
    repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred; renewals and
    improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed on the
    straight-line method using lives of 5 to 15 years for revenue
    equipment, 15 to 40 years for buildings, remaining life of leases for
    leasehold improvements, and 2 to 10 years for other equipment.

Claims Payable  
    Claims payable represents the estimated cost of open claims that is
    retained and paid by the Company under its insurance programs for
    workers' compensation, bodily injury and property damage. These
    estimates are based on historical information along with certain
    assumptions about future cash flows. Changes in assumptions for such
    things as medical costs, environmental hazards, and legal actions, as
    well as changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to
    change. In the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and
    Retained Earnings, workers' compensation costs are included in wages
    and employee benefits expenses, and other claims costs are included
    in claims and insurance expenses.

Environmental Expenditures
    The Company's operations require the storage of fuel for use in its
    tractors in both underground and aboveground tanks. The Company
    incurs costs to replace tanks, remediate soil contamination resulting
    from overfills, spills and leaks and monitor facilities on an ongoing
    basis. These costs are recorded when it is probable that a liability
    has been incurred and the related amount can be reasonably estimated.
    

Income Taxes 
    The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income
    taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary
    differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
    and liabilities.

Earnings Per Share 
    Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of
    shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
    was 2,387,265 (1995), 2,376,765 (1994) and 2,368,298 (1993).


Note 2 - Purchase of Assets
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    On June 29, 1995, the Company purchased the transportation assets of
Cary Oil Company, Inc. for cash and entered into a long-term contract to
provide transportation services to Cary Oil.


Note 3 - Extraordinary Item
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    On August 23, 1994, the Federal Aviation Authorization Act of 1994
was enacted. Among other matters, the Act generally prohibits states from
regulating rates, routes and entry of motor carriers beginning January 1,
1995. As a result of this legislation, the Company wrote off the recorded
value of intrastate operating rights as an extraordinary charge of
$823,000 (net of $31,000 in deferred income tax benefits) during the
third quarter of 1994.


Note 4 - Bank Line of Credit
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    A Bank Credit Agreement provides a $7,000,000 line of credit at the
prime interest rate. The agreement is subject to renewal annually on May
1, and in the event it is not renewed, the outstanding balance at
termination is payable over 60 months. The agreement has been renewed
through May 1998. Restrictive covenants related to current ratio, net
worth and funded debt, among others, were met at December 31, 1995. There
have been no amounts outstanding under the agreement since 1988.

Note 6 - Incentive Plans
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    In 1985, the Company implemented a stock incentive plan for certain
key employees. The Plan provided an opportunity for these employees to
earn up to 50,000 shares of common stock over a ten year period if
targeted increases in net income were attained. The total number of
shares issued under the Plan as of December 31, 1994 was 43,619. There
were 7,870 shares of stock earned in 1993 and issued in March 1994,
increasing common stock by $138,000 in 1994.

    The 1985 Stock Bonus Plan was terminated upon adoption of the 1994
Stock Bonus Plan that became effective January 1, 1994. The new plan
enables the Company to continue providing long-term incentives for key
employees while encouraging optimum growth in Company profits. Over a ten
year period, up to 56,600 shares of common stock may be earned if
targeted increases in net income are attained. Employees may elect to
receive up to half of the value of their incentive bonuses in cash. There
were 11,158 shares of stock earned in 1994 and issued in March 1995,
increasing common stock by $198,000 in 1995. No shares were earned in
1995. Compensation expense related to the Plan is recognized in the year
earned. 


Note 7 - Retirement Plans
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    The Company has a Profit Sharing Retirement Plan covering all
employees. Contributions are determined annually by the Board of
Directors. The Plan is funded currently and contributions expensed were
$980,000 (1995), $1,285,000 (1994) and $1,269,000 (1993).  

    The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) to
replace retirement benefits lost by certain officers under the Tax Reform
Act of 1986. The SERP is an unfunded, deferred compensation plan with
benefits payable upon retirement, death or other termination of
employment under provisions similar to those of the Profit Sharing
Retirement Plan. Net amounts expensed under the SERP were $109,000
(1995), $56,000 (1994) and $80,000 (1993).       


Note 8 - Lease and Other Commitments
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Certain terminal facilities, office space and equipment, and revenue
equipment are rented under operating leases expiring at various dates
through 1999. At December 31, 1995, total future minimum rental payments
required under leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease
terms in excess of one year are:  

                            1996         $513,000
                            1997          425,000
                            1998          346,000
                            1999          306,000

    A bank letter of credit of $3,250,000 is outstanding on the Company's
behalf in connection with its insurance program.

    The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising
in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of management that
these matters will have no significant impact on the financial statements
of the Company.

Note 9 - Nature of Business
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
    The Company transports commodities in bulk for the petroleum and
chemical industries in the southeastern United States, and its customers
include international corporations in these industries. One customer
accounted for 12% of the Company's revenue in 1995 and 11% of the
Company's revenue in 1994 and 1993. Concentration of credit risks to the
Company consists primarily of trade receivables from petroleum and
chemical companies. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful
accounts which totaled $261,000 and $248,000 at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively, to cover estimated credit losses.
