ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997
The Company's revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 was
$561,160,000, a decrease of $39,818,000, or 6.6%, as compared to revenue of
$600,978,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, the result of a
substantial decline in world oil prices. The Company's revenue during these
periods was attributable to the following segments:
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998 1997
------------ -------------
Aviation Fueling $243,999,000 $291,852,000
Marine Fueling 299,004,000 289,367,000
Oil Recycling 18,157,000 19,759,000
------------ ------------
Total Revenue $561,160,000 $600,978,000
============ ============
The aviation fueling segment contributed $243,999,000 in revenue for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998. This represented a decrease in revenue of
$47,853,000, or 16.4%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
decrease in revenue was due to decreases in the average price per gallon and the
volume of gallons sold. The marine fueling segment contributed $299,004,000 in
revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $9,637,000,
or 3.3%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in
revenue was related primarily to an increase in the volume of metric tons sold,
partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price per metric ton sold.
The oil recycling segment contributed $18,157,000 in revenue for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $1,602,000, or 8.1%, as compared to the
same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenue was due to decreases in
the volume and average sales price per gallon of recycled oil sold, partially
offset by higher used oil and waste water collection revenue.
The Company's gross profit of $43,874,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 increased $8,112,000, or 22.7%, as compared to the same period
of the prior year. The Company's gross margin increased from 6.0% for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, to 7.8% for the nine months ended December 31,
1998. The Company's aviation fueling business achieved a 9.1% gross margin for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to 5.6% achieved for the
same period during the prior year. This resulted principally from a decline in
the average price per gallon sold, as well as an increase in the average gross
profit per gallon and the addition of Baseops, an aviation services company
which the Company acquired effective January 1998. The Company's marine fueling
segment achieved a 5.6% gross margin for the nine months ended December 31,
1998, as compared to a 4.6% gross margin for the same period of the prior year.
This was the result of lower world oil prices. The gross margin in the Company's
oil recycling segment decreased from 30.3% for the nine months ended December
31, 1997, to 26.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 1998. This decrease
resulted from a lower gross profit per gallon of recycled oil sold, due
primarily to lower fuel prices and the fixed costs of this segment.

<PAGE>
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 were
$30,214,000, an increase of $8,621,000, or 39.9%, as compared to the same period
of the prior year. The increase resulted primarily from the inclusion of
operating expenses for the Baseops companies, an increase in the provision for
bad debts in the aviation and marine segments, and expenses incurred in business
expansion activities.
The Company's income from operations for the nine months ended December
31, 1998 was $13,660,000, a decrease of $509,000, or 3.6%, as compared to the
same period of the prior year. Income from operations during these periods
was attributable to the following segments:
NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998 1997
------------- ------------
Aviation Fueling $ 9,999,000 $ 10,023,000
Marine Fueling 5,878,000 4,359,000
Oil Recycling 2,006,000 3,773,000
Corporate Overhead (4,223,000) (3,986,000)
------------ ------------
Total Income from Operations $ 13,660,000 $ 14,169,000
============ ============
The aviation fueling segment's income from operations was $9,999,000 for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $24,000, or 0.2%, as
compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1997. This resulted from a
decrease in the volume of gallons sold and an increase in operating expenses, as
previously discussed. Largely offsetting was a higher average gross profit per
gallon sold. The marine fueling segment earned $5,878,000 in income from
operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of
$1,519,000, or 34.8%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily the result of a higher volume of metric tons traded,
partially offset by higher operating expenses, as previously discussed. Income
from operations of the oil recycling segment decreased by $1,767,000, or 46.8%,
for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to the same period of
the prior year. This resulted from a decrease in gross profit due to lower world
oil prices and higher operating expenses.
Other income for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 decreased
$611,000, or 35.9% over the corresponding period of the prior year, as a result
of lower earnings from the Company's aviation joint venture. The Company's
effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 was 21.5%,
as compared to 23.9% for the same period of the prior year. This decrease is the
result of a true-up of U.S. income taxes for overaccruals in prior periods and
an overall decline in foreign taxes.
Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 was $11,580,000, a
decrease of $496,000, or 4.1%, as compared to net income of $12,076,000 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997. Diluted earnings per share of $0.92 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998 exhibited a $0.05, or 5.2% decrease over the
$0.97 achieved during the same period of the prior year.

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997
The Company's revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was
$187,809,000, a decrease of $21,070,000, or 10.1%, as compared to revenue of
$208,879,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year, the result of a
substantial decline in world oil prices. The Company's revenue during these
periods was attributable to the following segments:
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998 1997
------------ --------------
Aviation Fueling $ 81,422,000 $ 96,398,000

------------ ------------
Total Revenue $187,809,000 $208,879,000
============ ============
The aviation fueling segment contributed $81,422,000 in revenue for the
three months ended December 31, 1998. This represented a decrease in revenue of
$14,976,000, or 15.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
decrease in revenue was largely due to a lower average price per gallon sold, as
well as a lower volume of gallons sold. The marine fueling segment contributed
$100,490,000 in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 1998, a decrease
of $5,166,000, or 4.9%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. The
decrease in revenue was related primarily to a decrease in the average sales
price per metric ton sold, partially offset by an increase in the volume of
metric tons sold. The oil recycling segment contributed $5,897,000 in revenue
for the three months ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $928,000, or 13.6%,
as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenue was
due to a decrease in the average sales price per gallon of recycled oil sold and
a decrease in the volume of recycled oil sold, partially offset by higher used
oil and waste water collection revenue.
The Company's gross profit of $14,215,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, increased $1,760,000, or 14.1%, as compared to the same
period of the prior year. The Company's gross margin increased from 6.0% for the
three months ended December 31, 1997, to 7.6% for the three months ended
December 31, 1998. The Company's aviation fueling business achieved a 9.3% gross
margin for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to 5.8%
achieved for the same period during the prior year. This resulted principally
from the decline in the average price per gallon sold, as well as from an
increase in the average gross profit per gallon sold and the addition of
Baseops. The Company's marine fueling segment achieved a 5.0% gross margin for
the three months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to a 4.8% gross margin for
the same period of the prior year. This resulted from a decrease in the average
price per metric ton. The gross margin in the Company's oil recycling segment
increased from 26.0% for the three months ended December 31, 1997, to 27.5% for
the three months ended December 31, 1998. This increase resulted from higher
used oil and wastewater collection revenue, and a higher gross profit per gallon
of recycled oil sold.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1998 were
$9,665,000, an increase of $1,814,000, or 23.1%, as compared to the same period
of the prior year. The increase resulted primarily from the inclusion of
operating expenses for the Baseops group of companies.
The Company's income from operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 was $4,550,000, a decrease of $54,000, or 1.2%, as compared
to the same period of the prior year. Income from operations during these
periods was attributable to the following segments:

Aviation Fueling $ 3,717,000 $ 3,155,000
Marine Fueling 1,813,000 1,802,000

Total Income from Operations $ 4,550,000 $ 4,604,000
=========== ===========
The aviation fueling segment's income from operations was $3,717,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $562,000, or 17.8%, as
compared to the three months ended December 31, 1997. This resulted from an
increase in the average gross profit per gallon sold, partially offset by a
decrease in volume and an increase in operating expenses due to a higher
provision for bad debts, and expenses related to Baseops and business expansion
activities. The marine fueling segment earned $1,813,000 in income from
operations for the three months ended December 31, 1998, consistent with the
corresponding period of the prior year. Income from operations of the oil
recycling segment decreased by $411,000, or 40.9%, for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This
segment was adversely impacted by the significantly lower world oil prices,
which reduced gross profit, and an increase in operating expenses.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was $3,979,000, a

Working capital as of December 31, 1998 was $70,289,000 exhibiting a
$10,188,000 increase from working capital as of March 31, 1998. As of December
31, 1998, the Company's accounts receivable, excluding the allowance for bad
debts, amounted to $93,689,000, an increase of $7,447,000, as compared to the
March 31, 1998 balance. In the aggregate, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
customer deposits increased $1,441,000. The net increase in trade credit of
$6,006,000 was primarily attributable to the marine segment. The allowance for
bad debts as of December 31, 1998 amounted to $4,663,000, an increase of $69,000
compared to the March 31, 1998 balance. During the nine months of fiscal 1999,
the Company charged $2,360,000 to the provision for bad debts and had
charge-offs in excess of recoveries of $2,291,000.
Prepaid and other current assets as of December 31, 1998 were $11,868,000,
exhibiting an increase of $5,931,000 from the March 31, 1998 balance. The
increase was largely related to the reclassification of $5,828,000 in accounts
receivable to notes receivable. Accrued salaries and wages increased $528,000
during the nine months of fiscal 1999, resulting from higher performance
bonuses.
Capital expenditures for the nine months of fiscal 1999 consisted
primarily of $1,485,000 for the implementation of a new financial and sales
information system and $1,982,000 in plant, machinery and equipment related to
the oil recycling segment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
anticipates spending approximately $800,000 to complete the implementation of
the financial and sales system and $500,000 to upgrade plant, machinery and
equipment. The Company also anticipates spending an estimated $1,000,000
sometime in the future, if and when it may be required to clean up contamination
which was present at one of the Company's sites when it was acquired by the
Company. The clean up costs will be capitalized as part of the cost of the site,
up to the fair market value of the site.
Stockholders' equity amounted to $98,255,000, or $8.04 per share at
December 31, 1998, compared to $91,911,000, or $7.36 per share at March 31,
1998. This increase of $6,344,000 was due to $11,580,000 in earnings for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998 and $296,000 from the issuance of common
stock, partially offset by $1,862,000 in declared dividends and $3,540,000 for
the purchase of treasury stock.
The Company's working capital requirements are not expected to vary
substantially for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company expects to meet
its cash requirements for the balance of fiscal 1999 from existing cash,
operations and additional borrowings, as necessary, under its existing credit
facility. The Company's business has not been significantly affected by
inflation during the periods discussed in this report.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company has been evaluating date-sensitive software and equipment for
Year 2000 compliance. The Company is currently implementing a financial and
sales system, which is Year 2000 compliant, and is expected to be completed by
September 30, 1999. There can be no assurance that there will not be an adverse
effect on the Company if third parties do not convert their systems in a timely
manner and in a way that is compatible with the Company's systems.
