                         Report of Independent Auditors


To Management
Specialty Environmental Services

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet of  Specialty  Environmental
Services (the "Company") as of September 29, 2000, and the related statements of
income and  retained  earnings  and cash flows for the  nine-month  period ended
September  29,  2000 and the year  ended  December  31,  1999.  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 audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 statement. 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 audit  provides 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  Specialty  Environmental
Services at September 29, 2000,  and the results of its  operations and its cash
flows for the nine months ended  September 29, 2000 and the year ended  December
31, 1999, in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States.

                               September 29, 2000



1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business

Specialty  Environmental  Services,  (the  "Company"),   an  operating  unit  of
Pennzoil-Quaker  State (the "Parent"),  is engaged in the collection and re-sale
of waste oil and related waste  products,  and the sale of related  services and
equipment.  The Company was  acquired by Pennzoil  Corporation  as a part of its
merger with Quaker State Company on December 30, 1998.  The Company is currently
operating primarily in the southwestern United States.

The Company operates in a single segment.

On the close of business on September 29, 2000,  substantially all of the assets
and selected liabilities of the Company were acquired by Probex Corp. The
$5.5 million  purchase price  consisted  solely of a 13%  promissory  note from
Probex Corp. to Pennzoil-Quaker State.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents  include all highly liquid investments with a maturity
date of three months or less when purchased.  All cash and cash  equivalents are
held by Parent.

INVENTORIES

Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is  computed  on a
first-in, first-out basis. There is a risk that the Company will forecast demand
for its  products  and  market  conditions  incorrectly  and  accumulate  excess
inventories.  Therefore,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will not
accumulate  excess inventory and incur inventory lower of cost or market charges
in the future.

FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment  is recorded at cost and  depreciated  over
estimated  useful  lives,  which  range  from  three to five  years,  using  the
straight-line  method.  Normal repair and maintenance  costs are charged against
current  operations.  Significant  repairs  resulting  in  an  increase  in  the
operating life of the asset are capitalized  and  depreciated  over the extended
life of the asset.

                        Specialty Environmental Services
                          Notes to Financial Statements




IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company  accounts for  impairment  of long-lived  assets in accordance  with
Financial Accounting Standards,  SFAS, No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires
that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment  whenever events or changes in
circumstances  indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable.
At each  year-end,  the Company  reviews its long-lived  assets for  impairments
based on estimated future  nondiscounted  cash flows attributable to the assets.
In the event such cash flows are not  expected to be  sufficient  to recover the
recorded  value of the assets,  the assets are written  down to their  estimated
fair values. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges to date.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company  recognizes  revenue from charges levied for the collection of waste
oil and related waste products ("inbound customers") and from sales of waste oil
and  related  products  (outbound  customers").   Inbound  customer  revenue  is
recognized  when  collected for customers  charged a fee per unit  collected and
over time for  customers  for which a flat fee per  month is  charged.  Outbound
customer revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, typically upon
delivery.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's  operations are subject to extensive and evolving  federal,  state
and  local  environmental  laws and  regulations  related  to the  discharge  of
materials  into the  environment.  These laws and  regulations  may  require the
Company to remove or  mitigate  the  environmental  effects of the  disposal  or
release of petroleum or chemical  substances at various sites.  Compliance  with
such laws and regulations can be costly. Additionally,  governmental authorities
may  enforce  the laws and  regulations  with a variety  of civil  and  criminal
enforcement measures, including monetary penalties and remediation requirements.

Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future
economic benefit.  Expenditures  that relate to an existing  condition caused by
past  operations  and  that  have no  future  economic  benefits  are  expensed.
Liabilities  for   expenditures  of  a  noncapital   nature  are  recorded  when
environmental  assessment and/or  remediation is probable,  and the costs can be
reasonably estimated.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has historically been included in the consolidated tax return of the
Parent. The accompanying financial statements include income taxes calculated on
a separate  return basis for the periods  ended  September 29, 2000 and December
31, 1999.

A valuation  allowance  is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely
than not these  items will either  expire  before the Company is able to realize
their benefit,  or that future  deductibility is uncertain.  Deferred tax assets

                        Specialty Environmental Services
                          Notes to Financial Statements



and  liabilities  are recognized  for the expected  future tax  consequences  of
events that have been realized in the financial statements or tax returns.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The  Company's  financial  instruments  that are exposed to credit risk  consist
primarily  of cash and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and  accounts
payable,  for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company has
no single group of or suppliers that exceed 10% of costs.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The  Company has one  customer  that  represents  18% and 23% of revenue for the
periods ended September 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The  preparation  of the  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

As of the date of these Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the Company has no
components  of other  comprehensive  income as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS 133  requires  companies  to record
derivatives  on the  balance  sheet as assets or  liabilities,  measured at fair
value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives
would be accounted  for  depending on the use of the  derivative  and whether it
qualifies  for hedge  accounting.  SFAS 133, as amended by FAS 138, is effective
for fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not
expected  to have a  material  impact on the  financial  position  or results of
operations of the Company.

                                                       September 29, 2000

                                                    ==========================

Depreciation  expense was $107,374 and $113,638 for the periods ended  September
29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

During the period  ended  September  29,  2000,  the  Company  closed two of its
distribution  centers and related  assets were  transferred to the Parent at net
book value of $145,979. No gain or loss was recognized on the transfers.

No interest was  capitalized  during the periods  ended  September  29, 2000 and
December 31, 1999


3.       INCOME TAXES

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 29, are as
follows:

                                                             September 29,

                                                                 ----

         Total tax assets                                         49,663

                                                                ---------
         Total tax liability                                     (24,053)
                                                                --------
         Net deferred tax asset                                   25,270
                                                                ==========

In assessing  the  realizability  of deferred tax assets,  management  considers
whether it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized.

The Company's effective income tax rate differed from the Federal statutory rate
primarily due to provisions for state taxes.

4.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various  claims  resulting  from the normal  course of
business. Management believes that the resolution of such uncertainties will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.


5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Common expenses are allocated to the subsidiary using an incremental cost method
because  specific  identification  of expenses is not  practicable.  Charges for
rent,  environmental  services  and use of the  Parent's  wide area network were
based upon management's  estimate of market rates for such services.  Management
believes that the method used is  reasonable.  Rent expense and common  expenses
allocated include the following:

</TABLE>

The Company's  corporate  facilities are leased from Parent on a  month-to-month
basis at $8,100 per month.  The accompanying  financial  statements also include
rent  expense  related to the use of  tankage  and other  facilities  at various
distribution center locations at a rate of $65,600 per month.

The Parent has not historically accrued interest on intercompany balances, which
were  $717,660  and  $1,677,856  at  September  29, 2000 and  December 31, 1999,
respectively.  Intercompany  balances result primarily from rent expense,  other
allocations of costs, and cash transfers between the Company and the Parent.
