                       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the
          Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
          adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
          necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
          operations and changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows at
          June 30, 1996 and for all periods presented have been made.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
          financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is
          suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in
          conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
          in the Company's December 31, 1995 audited financial statements. 
          The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1996 are not
          necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

          ORGANIZATION   

          Crown Energy Corporation ["Crown"], a Utah corporation, was
          organized on March 17, 1981.  Crown's primary activities have been
          the acquisition and development of oil and gas leases.  

          BuenaVentura Resources Corporation ["BVRC"], a Utah corporation, was
          organized October 24, 1985.  BVRC is active in the mining and
          development of oil sand deposits and owns the rights to a newly
          patented technology for the extraction of oil from oil sands.  Crown
          acquired 100% of BVRC on September 30, 1992.
          
          Gavilan Petroleum, Inc. ["Gavilan"], a Utah corporation, was
          organized on September 9, 1985.  Gavilan is engaged in the
          production and selling of oil and gas from leases it operates in the
          state of Utah.  Gavilan became a 100% subsidiary of Crown on January
          24, 1991.

          PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant
          intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

          Oil and gas properties are accounted for on the full cost method,
          whereby all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and
          development of oil and gas properties are capitalized on a country-


                     CROWN ENERGY CORPORATION

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

                       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

          by-country, cost center basis.  All oil and gas revenues are derived
          from reserves located in the state of Utah.  Amortization of such
          costs is determined by the ratio of current period production to
          estimated proved reserves.  Estimated proved reserves are based upon
          reports of petroleum engineers.

          The net carrying value of oil and gas properties is limited to the
          lower of amortized costs or the cost center ceiling [defined as the
          sum of the present value [10% discount rate] of estimated,
          unescalated future net cash flows from proved reserves, plus the
          lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, giving
          effect to income taxes].

          OIL SAND PROPERTIES

          The Company's investment in oil sand properties, including
          acquisition and development costs, are being capitalized and will be
          amortized by the unit-of-production method once commercial
          production commences, projected to be early 1997.  The Company
          reviews its investment in oil sand properties for impairment
          whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the
          carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  The
          Company's basis of determining the recoverability of its investment
          is based on estimated future cash flows expected to result from the
          extraction and production of products from the oil sands.  The
          Company is unaware of any events or changes in circumstance that
          would merit a review for impairment, however the Company's estimated
          future cash flows from its investment in oil sands exceeds the
          carrying value of the investment, thus there is no current impact
          from the adoption of SFAS 121.

          INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

          The computation of income (loss) per share of common stock is based
          on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
          periods presented.

     NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

          The Company sells substantially all of its oil production to one
          purchaser.  If this purchaser stopped buying products from the
          Company, the Company would then contract with other purchasers
          available in the areas where the oil is produced.  The effect of
          this purchaser pulling out of the area would at least put a
          temporary downward pressure on prices in the area, but it is not
          currently possible for the Company to estimate how the Company would
          be affected.  Management believes that its oil is a commodity that
          is readily marketable and that the marketing methods it follows is
          typical of similar companies in the industry.


               ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil and gas revenue increased from $50,486 for the three months ended June
30, 1995 to $55,441 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$4,955 (10%).  This increase was due to higher production and oil prices for the
period.  Total production increased from 2,380 barrels for the three months 
ended June 30, 1995 to 2,475 barrels for the same period in 1996, an increase 
of 4%. Average oil prices increased from $17.68 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995 to $20.32 for the same period in 1996.

     Oil and gas production costs decreased from $33,632 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 to $32,953 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an
immaterial change of $679 (2%).      

     General and administrative expenses decreased from $118,631 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to $109,645 for the three months ended June 30, 1996,
a decrease of $8,986 (8%).  This change was primarily due to a decrease in
consulting expenses.

     Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased from $13,406 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 to $15,880 for the three months ended June 30,
1996, an increase of $2,474  (18%).  This change was due to an increase in the
depletion unit rate for 1996.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

     Oil and gas revenue decreased from $104,608 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 to $99,993 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $4,615
(4%).  This decrease was due to lower production due to normal production
declines.  Total production decreased from 5,132 barrels for the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 to 4,668 barrels for the same period in 1996, a decrease 
of  9%. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average oil 
prices from $17.13 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $19.22 for the 
same period in 1996.

     Oil and gas production costs decreased from $68,467 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to $62,824 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a 
decrease of $5,643 (8%).  This change was due to lower production for the 
period.    

     General and administrative expenses increased from $191,732 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $230,820 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
an increase of $39,088 (20%).  This change was primarily due to an increase in
general overhead expenses relating to the Asphalt Ridge Oil Sand Project.

     Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased from $28,427 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $30,068 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of $1,641 (6%).  This change was due to an increase in the depletion
unit rate for 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and other current assets of $214,060
as compared to cash and other current assets of $134,944 at December 31, 1995. 
The increase of  $79,116 was primarily due to net proceeds from an equity
financing of $400,000 completed in February, 1996.  The increase was partially
offset by a loss from operations and pre-construction capital and permitting
costs incurred on the Asphalt Ridge Oil Sand Project.

     Total debt increased from $231,342 in long-term debt and $67,372 in current
portion of long-term debt at December 31, 1995 to $248,483 in long-term debt and
$54,574 in current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 1996.  This increase 
was primarily due to accrued interest being converted into notes payable.  

     The Company's primary objective is to complete financing for construction
of its full-scale, 1,000 barrel per day commercial asphalt production facility. 
The Company is seeking approximately $9,000,000 for construction costs and
approximately $4,500,000 for start-up and working capital and is evaluating
financing alternatives with several investor groups.  No assurance can be given
that additional financing will be available or, if available, that it will be
available on acceptable terms.  If additional funds are raised by issuing equity
securities, further dilution to then-existing stockholders may result.  If such
additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the
Company's cash flows will be required to be devoted to service such debt.  If
adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to significantly
curtail or cease its operations.  The Company believes that its existing cash
balances will be sufficient to meet current working capital requirements.
