                                (Continued)


(1)  To record the sale of a 1/3 interest in the Blue Dolphin
     Pipeline System.
(2)  To record the retirement of long-term debt totalling $6,005,450.
(3)  To record the federal and state tax expense at the statutory
     rate and a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance
     directly related to the sale transaction. Due to the utilization of
     net operating loss carryforwards, management believes that the
     deferred income tax assets more likely than not will be realized.
     Accordingly, income tax expense is reduced by the tax benefit from
     the decrease in the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance
     attributable to post quasi-reorganization net operating loss
     carryforwards of $1,444,964.  The deferred tax asset valuation
     allowance attributable to pre-quasi-reorganization net operating
     loss carryforwards of $827,039 is credited to additional paid-in
     capital.

                           (Continued)



(1)  To record reductions in pipeline revenues, pipeline operating
     expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative
     expenses, and provision for income taxes as a result of the sale of
     a 1/3 interest in the Blue Dolphin Pipeline System.
(2)  To eliminate interest expense associated with the retirement of
     long-term debt.
(3)  To record the gain from the sale of a 1/3 interest in the Blue
     Dolphin Pipeline System.
(4)  To record estimated interest income earned on cash in excess of
     debt retired, at 5%.
(5)  To record the federal and state tax expense at the statutory rate
     and a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance
     directly related to the sale transaction.  Due to the utilization
     of net operating loss carryforwards, management believes that the
     deferred income tax assets more likely than not will be realized.
     Accordingly, income tax expense is reduced by the tax benefit from
     the decrease in the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance
     attributable to post quasi-reorganization net operating loss
     carryforwards of $1,444,964.  The deferred tax asset valuation
     allowance attributable to pre-quasi-reorganization net operating
     loss carryforwards of $827,039 is credited to additional paid-in
     capital.
