To the Board of Directors
Fleischli Oil Company, Inc.
Cheyenne, Wyoming

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fleischli Oil Company, Inc.

income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended February 28,
1997 and the six months ended February 29, 1996.  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 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Fleischli Oil Company, Inc.
as of February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended February 28, 1997 and the six

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of business:  The Company's operations are principally in the
distribution of petroleum products to entities operating in the construction
and extractive industries in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Nevada.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

Fiscal year:  Beginning February 29, 1996, the Company adopted a fiscal year
ending on the last day of February.  Previously, the Company's fiscal year
ended on the last day of August.

Inventories:  The inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in,
first-out method) or market.  The use of the last-in, first-out method of
determining the cost of inventories, which was adopted for the year ended
August 31, 1979, had the effect of decreasing the inventories by $251,666 and
$237,085 at February 28, 1997 and  February 29, 1996, respectively, and
decreasing net income by $14,613 for the year ended February 28, 1997 and
$31,540 for the six months ended February 29, 1996, as compared to what they
would have been under the first-in, first-out method.

Property and equipment:  Property and equipment is stated at cost and
depreciated over estimated service lives primarily by the straight-line
method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and major improvements are
capitalized.  Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and
equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

The depreciation expense on assets being acquired under capital leases is
included with the depreciation expense on owned assets.

Income taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in
the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on
the date of enactment.

Estimates:  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 revenue and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. INVENTORIES

The reduction of inventory quantities during the year ended February 28, 1997
resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at costs
                                F-11
<PAGE>
prevailing in prior years which were lower than current costs.  The effect of
this reduction was to increase net income by approximately $8,745 for the year
ended February 28, 1997.

NOTE 3. NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has a $2,500,000 line of credit with a bank secured by inventory,
accounts receivable, equipment, general intangibles and the personal
guarantees of the Company's major shareholders, bearing interest at New York
Citibank prime (8.25% at February 28, 1997) plus .5%, maturing July 31, 1997. 
The available credit at February 28, 1997 was $2,500,000.  The line-of-credit
advances are subject to borrowing base limitations as follows:  accounts
receivable - 75% with receivables greater than 60 days excluded, and inventory
- - 50%.  See Note 5 for discussion of loan covenants.

The Company also has unsecured notes payable to the spouse of a major
stockholder in the amount of $200,000.  The notes bear interest at New York
Citibank prime (8.25% at February 28, 1997) plus .5% and is due on demand. 
Interest expense was $17,441 and $9,048 for the year ended February 28, 1997
and the six months ended February 29, 1996, respectively.

NOTE 4. CAPITAL LEASES

The Company leases nine units of mobile equipment and computer equipment under
noncancelable capital lease agreements.  The leases expire through November,
1999.  The equipment and the related liability under the capital leases were
recorded at the present value or the future payments due under the leases, as
determined using various interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 10.96%  Seven
units of the mobile equipment are leased from related parties.

The following is a schedule by years of the future minimum lease payments due
under the capital leases, together with the net present value of the minimum
lease payments as of February 28, 1997:

     2000                                                 78,927

     Total minimum lease payments                        469,831

NOTE 10. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP OBLIGATIONS

aware of any unasserted environmental clean-up obligations that it considers
likely of assertion and that, if asserted, would have a reasonable likelihood
of having a material adverse impact on the Company.

NOTE 12. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Company has an off-balance-sheet risk arising from the cash balance in two
bank accounts.  The total cash balance exceeds the federally insured limit of
$100,000 by approximately $425,268 at February 28, 1997.

NOTE 13.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share have been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted averaged number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding as of February 28, 1997 and February 29,
1996 is 23,594 and 24,373, respectively.

NOTE 14.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments:
  
    Cash:  The carrying amount of cash deposits is the fair value.

    Notes receivable, notes payable, and long-term debt:  The carrying value
    of notes receivable, notes payable and long-term debt is estimated to
    equal the fair value based on terms currently available in the market.

NOTE 15.  PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

In February of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share.  Statement No.
128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. 
The effect of adopting this standard is not expected to have a material effect
on the computation of earnings per share based on the Company's current
capital structure.

In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segment of an
Enterprise and Related Information.  Statement No. 131 establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in interim financial reports.  The effect of implementing
this standard, if any, has not been determined.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1:  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of business: The Company's operations are principally in the
distribution of petroleum products to entities operating in the construction
and extractive industries in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Nevada.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting  policies follows:

Fiscal year:   Beginning February 29, 1996, the Company adopted a fiscal year
ending on the last day of February.  Previously, the Company's fiscal year
ended on the last day of August.

Inventories:  The inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in,
first-out method) or market.  The use of the last-in, first-out method of
determining the cost of inventories, which was adopted for the year ended
August 31, 1979, had the effect of decreasing the inventories by $237,085 and
$205,513 at February 29, 1996 and August 31, 1995, respectively, and
decreasing and increasing net income by $31,540 and $455,720 for the six
months ended February 29, 1996 and year ended August 31, 1995, respectively,
as compared to what they would have been under the first-in, first-out method.

Property and equipment:  Property and equipment is stated at cost and
depreciated over estimated service lives primarily by the straight-line
method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and major improvements are
capitalized.  Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and
equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

The depreciation expense on assets being acquired under capital leases is
included with the depreciation expense on owned assets.

Income taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in
the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on
the date of enactment.

Estimates:  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 revenue and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2: INVENTORIES

The reduction of inventory quantities in 1995 resulted in liquidations of LIFO
inventory quantities carried at costs prevailing in prior years which were 
                               F-24
<PAGE>
lower than current costs.  The effect of this reduction was to increase net 
income by approximately $18,500 for the year ended August 31, 1995.

NOTE 3: NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has a $1,750,000 line of credit with a bank secured by inventory,
accounts receivable, equipment, general intangibles and the personal
guarantees of the Company's major shareholders, bearing interest at New York
Citibank prime (8.25% at February 29, 1996) plus .5%, maturing July 31, 1997. 
The available credit at August 31, 1995 was $850,000.  The line-of-credit
advances are subject to borrowing base limitations as follows:  accounts
receivable - 75% with receivables greater than 60 days excluded, and inventory
- - 50%.  See Note 5 for discussion of loan covenants.

At February 29, 1996, the Company has unsecured notes payable to a major
stockholder in the amount of $200,000.  The notes bear interest at New York
Citibank prime (8.25% at February 29, 1996) plus .5% and are due on demand. 
Interest expense was $9,048 and $18,334 for the six months ended February 29,
1996 and the year ended August 31, 1995, respectively.

NOTE 4: CAPITAL LEASES

The Company leases seven units of mobile equipment from related parties that
are being acquired under capital leases.  The leases expire through June,
1999.  The mobile equipment and the related liability under the capital leases
were recorded at the present value of the future payments due under the
leases, as determined using various interest rates ranging from 8.76% to
10.96%.

The following is a schedule by years of the future minimum lease payments due
under the capital leases, together with the net present value of the minimum
lease payments as of February 29, 1996:

     1997                                              $199,634
     1998                                               199,634

     2000                                                76,220
      
      Total minimum lease payments                      666,758

      Less amount representing interest                  90,293

Net present value of minimum lease payments            $576,465

Interest expense applicable to the related party leases was $20,287 and 
$22,049 for the six months ended February 29, 1996 and the year ended August
31, 1995, respectively.

There are 12,746 outstanding shares subject to these agreements.

NOTE 9: MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

Net sales for the six months ended February 29, 1996 and the year ended August
31, 1995 included sales to two major customers totaling $18,315,530 and
$28,613,696, respectively.  Trade accounts receivable from these customers at

NOTE 10: ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN UP OBLIGATIONS

The Company is in the remediation process of subsurface contamination at one
owned site.  The Company has accrued and charged to expense, net of amounts
recoverable from the prior owner of the site, the estimated remaining
remediation costs.  

Due to the nature of the Company's business, it is always susceptible to
environmental clean-up obligations.  However, management is not presently
aware of any unasserted environmental clean-up obligations that it considers
likely of assertion and that, if asserted, would have a reasonable likelihood
of having a material adverse impact on the Company.

NOTE 13: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments:

Cash:  The carrying amount of cash deposits is the fair value.

Notes payable and long term debt: The carrying value of notes payable and long
term debt is estimated to equal the fair value based on terms currently
available in the market.

NOTE 14:  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share have been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted average
number of common shares outstanding as of February 29, 1996 and August 31,
1995 is 24,373 and 24,688, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended August 31, 1995 and 1994

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of business:  The Company's operations are principally in the
distribution of petroleum products to entities operating in the construction
and extractive industries in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Nevada.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting  policies follows:

Inventories:  The inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in,
first-out method) or market.  The use of the last-in, first-out method of
determining the cost of inventories, which was adopted for the year ended
August 31, 1979, had the effect of decreasing the inventories by $205,513 and
$661,233 at August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and increasing and
decreasing net income by $455,720 and $311,488 for the years ended August 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively, as compared to what they would have been under
the first-in, first-out method.

Property and equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost and depre-
ciated over estimated service lives primarily by the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations and major improvements are
capitalized.  Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and
equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

The depreciation expense on assets being acquired under capital leases is
included with the depreciation expense on owned assets.

Income taxes:  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in
the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on
the date of enactment.

NOTE 2: INVENTORIES

Reductions of inventory quantities in 1995 and 1994 resulted in a liquidation
of LIFO inventory quantities carried at cost prevailing in prior years which
were lower than current costs.  The effect of these reductions was to increase
net income by approximately $18,458 and $662,845 for the years ended August
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 3: NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has a $1,750,000 line of credit with a bank secured by inventory,
accounts receivable, equipment, and the personal guarantees of the Company's
major shareholders, bearing interest at New York Citibank prime (8.75% at
August 31, 1995) plus .5%, maturing January 28, 1996.  The available credit at 
August 31, 1995 was $1,750,000.  The line-of-credit advances are subject to
borrowing base limitations as follows:  accounts receivable - 75% with 
                                  F-37
<PAGE>
receivables greater than 60 days excluded, and inventory - 50%.  See Note 5
for discussion of loan covenants.

At August 31, 1995, the Company has unsecured notes payable to a major
stockholder in the amount of $200,000. The notes bear interest at New York
Citibank (8.75% at August 31, 1995) plus .75% and are due on demand. Interest
expense was $18,334 and $14,469 for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

NOTE 4: CAPITAL LEASES

The Company leases seven units of mobile equipment from related parties that
are being acquired under capital leases. The leases expire through June, 1999. 
The mobile equipment and the related liability under the capital leases were
recorded at the present value of the future payments due under the leases, as
determined using various interest rates ranging from 8.76% to 10.96%.

The following is a schedule by years of the future minimum lease payments due
under the capital leases, together with the net present value of the minimum
lease payments as of August 31, 1995.

NOTE 8: STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Company and its non-401(k) plan stockholders have entered into stock
repurchase agreements under which, upon the death of the stockholder or their
desire to dispose of their stock, the Company must purchase the shares of its
common stock owned by the stockholder.  There are 24,100 outstanding shares
subject to the agreement at August 31, 1995.

The per share repurchase price as determined by the formula contained in the
agreement, utilizing the August 31, 1995 financial statements, is $240.

NOTE 9: MAJOR CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIERS

Net sales for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994 included sales to a
major customer totaling $24,181,187 and $23,552,908, respectively.  Trade
accounts receivable from this customer at August 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$588,784 and $1,007,753, respectively.

Cost of goods sold for the year ended August 31, 1995 and 1994 included
purchases from major suppliers of $49,025,482 and $36,750,342, respectively. 
Accounts payable for these suppliers at August 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$1,760,982 and $1,462,748, respectively.

The Company has entered into a long-term fuel purchase and supply contract
expiring December 31, 2004.  The contract requires the Company to purchase an
estimated 21,575,000 gallons of fuel per year from one of its major suppliers
to be delivered to the Company's major customer (that the Company has been
doing business with for the past nine years).  The estimated contract value,
based on the estimated quantities and unit rates as detailed in the contract,
is $180,000,000.

NOTE 10: ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP OBLIGATIONS

The Company is in the remediation process of subsurface contamination at one
owned site.  The Company has accrued and charged to expense, net of amounts
recoverable from the prior owner of the site, the estimated remaining
remediation costs.  

The Company, along with approximately 56 other entities, has also been
identified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a potentially responsible
party in connection with the required clean-up of a non-owned refinery site. 
A settlement agreement was signed during the year, which releases the Company
from any further liability in this matter.

Due to the nature of the Company's business, it is always susceptible to
environmental clean-up obligations.  However, management is not presently
aware of any unasserted environmental clean-up obligations that it considers
likely of assertion and that, if asserted, would have a reasonable likelihood
of having a material adverse impact on the Company.

NOTE 13.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share have been computed by dividing net income by the
