     (a)  Financial statements of Acquired Business


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
 
To the Board of Directors of
  Crown Energy Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of
Petro Source Asphalt Company (the Company) as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1997.  These combined 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, such combined financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined
financial position of Petro Source Asphalt Company as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

PETRO SOURCE ASPHALT COMPANY

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996, AND 1995 AND
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 (UNAUDITED)


1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
   
   Basis of Presentation - The accompanying combined financial
   statements present, on a historical cost basis, the assets,
   liabilities, revenues, and expenses related to Petro Source
   Asphalt Company (the Company) to be included in the sale to
   Crown Asphalt Distribution LLC (Crown), which is a subsidiary of
   Crown Energy Corporation, discussed below.  The Company is owned
   by Petro Source Corporation (PSC).  The Company consists of the
   following:  certain asphalt production and storage facilities
   located in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah,
   certain asphalt related intellectual property rights, and
   certain contract rights to purchase and market asphalt from
   unaffiliated refineries located in California and the countries
   of Trinidad and Tobago.  All significant intercompany accounts
   and transactions have been eliminated.
   
   Description of the Company's Business - The Company operates
   primarily as a refiner/seller of asphalt and other petroleum
   products in the western United States.
   
   Sale of Petro Source Asphalt Company to Crown Asphalt
   Distribution LLC - On July 2, 1998, an agreement was signed
   between PSC and Crown with respect to the principle terms and
   conditions under which Crown acquired the assets of the Company
   for $14,297,932.
   
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
   Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements - The
   preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles 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.
   
   Goodwill - Goodwill is stated at cost and is being amortized
   using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 15
   years.
   
   Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when the related
   product is shipped.
   
   Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which
   subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist
   principally of trade receivables.  The Company's policy is to
   evaluate, prior to shipment, each customer's financial condition
   and determine the amount of open line credit to be extended.  It
   is also the Company's policy to obtain adequate letters of
   credit or other acceptable security as collateral for amounts in
   excess of the open line.
   
   At December 31, 1997, trade receivables were predominantly from
   customers in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and
   California.  The trade receivables were from manufacturing,
   construction, and trading companies.  The Company had no
   customers accounting for 10% or more of total sales.  However,
   as of December 31, 1997, approximately $2.8 million of the $6.6
   million balance in trade receivables was due from a single
   customer.
   
   Inventory - Inventories consist principally of hydrocarbons and
   chemical supplies which are valued at the lower of cost (first-
   in first-out) or market.
   
   Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment
   include asphalt storage and other equipment, as well as computer
   equipment, furniture, and fixtures.  Such items are stated at
   cost when purchased.  Assets acquired under capital leases are
   recorded at the present value of the lease payments.
   
   Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and amortization
   of capital leases are computed using the straight-line method of
   accounting over estimated useful lives as follows:
   
     Buildings and improvements                    30 years
     Equipment                                      5 years
     Vehicles                                     3-5 years
     Computer equipment                             3 years
     Furniture and fixtures                         3 years
     
   Carrying Value of Long-Term Assets - The Company evaluates the
   carrying value of long-term assets based upon current and
   anticipated undiscounted cash flows, and recognizes an
   impairment when such estimated cash flows will be less than the
   carrying value of the asset.  Measurement of the amount of
   impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between
   carrying value and fair value.
   
   Income Taxes - The Company uses the asset and liability method
   of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes reflect
   the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
   carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax
   reporting purposes.  During 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Company's
   operations were included in consolidated income tax returns of
   PSC.  PSC's intercompany tax allocation policy provides for each
   subsidiary to calculate their own provision on a "separate
   return basis."  Amounts due to or receivable from PSC are
   settled through intercompany accounts.
   
   Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards - In June 1997,
   the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting
   Comprehensive Income.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
   the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
   components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set
   of general purpose financial statements.  This statement
   requires that an enterprise classify items of other
   comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement
   and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
   income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in-
   capital in the equity section and financial position.  SFAS No.
   130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
   1997.  The impact of SFAS No. 130 on the Company is not expected
   to be material in relation to the combined financial statements,
   as there were no comprehensive income items.
   
   In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About
   Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  SFAS No. 131
   established standards for the way that public business
   enterprises report information about operating segments in
   annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
   report selected information about operating segments in interim
   financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes
   standards for related disclosure about products and services,
   geographic areas, and major customers.  SFAS No. 131 is
   effective January 1, 1998.  The Company does not expect the
   impact of SFAS No. 131 to be material in relation to its
   financial statements.
   
   In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, Employer's
   Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.
   SFAS No. 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of
   pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  It standardizes
   the disclosure requirements for those plans, requires additional
   information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair
   values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis,
   and eliminates certain disclosures.  SFAS No. 132 is effective
   for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
   
   In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which supersedes
   SFAS No. 80, Accounting for Futures Contracts, SFAS No. 105,
   Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-
   Balance-sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration
   of Credit Risk, and SFAS No. 119, Disclosure about Derivative
   Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
   and also amends certain aspects of other SFAS's previously
   issued.  SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
   standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  It
   requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
   assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
   instruments at fair value.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for the
   Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31,
   2000.  The Company does not expect the impact of SFAS No. 133 to
   be material in relation to its financial statements.

   Bank Credit Facility - As of December 31, 1997, the Company is a
   co-borrower with Petro Source Corporation on a bank credit
   facility which provides up to $100,000,000 of collateralized
   borrowings, subject to borrowing base limitations and which
   expires September 30, 1998.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
   Company had approximately $7,850,000 and $7,997,000,
   respectively, in outstanding borrowings under this facility.
   Outstanding letters of credit are discussed in Note 5.  Interest
   is payable monthly.  Interest on base rate loans is computed at
   the higher of the federal funds rate plus three-fourths percent
   per annum or the bank's reference rate plus one-fourth percent
   per annum.  Interest on offshore rate loans is computed at one
   and three-quarters percent per annum plus the bank's inter-bank
   offer rate (IBOR) divided by [one minus the eurodollar reserve
   percentage].  Principal is due on demand.  The Company's portion
   of the credit facility is collateralized by a general security
   interest in the Company's assets.  The agreement contains
   certain guidelines which require, among other things, that the
   Company maintain certain financial conditions such as minimum
   net working capital.  While the Company does not guarantee the
   obligations of other co-borrowers, the availability of this
   credit facility is affected by the activities and financial
   condition of the affiliates.
   
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
   
   Lease Commitments - The Company's leasing arrangements consist
   primarily of premises and equipment leases that are classified
   as operating leases.  Two leases of assets are classified as
   capital leases as of December 31, 1997.  Rental expense for all
   operating leases for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
   was $351,126 and $297,277, respectively.
   
   Future minimum lease payments under such arrangements are as
