UNITED REFINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries, and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail.

The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment sells petroleum products under the Kwik Fill^®, Citgo^® and Keystone^® brand names through a network of Company-operated retail units and convenience and grocery items through gasoline stations and convenience stores under the Red Apple Food Mart^® and Country Fair^® brand names.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Refining, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Acquisition Corp., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Apple Group, Inc. (the “Parent”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141R”), which replaces Statement 141. Statement 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. Statement 141R also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Statement 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of Statement 141R on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Statement 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB provided a one year deferral for the implementation of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Statement 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company adopted Statement 157 for financial assets as of September 1, 2008 and it did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company believes that the adoption of Statement 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“Statement 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Statement 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. Statement 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of Statement 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161 “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB statements No. 133” ( “Statement 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and is not involved in any hedging activities.

3. Inventories

Due to anticipated fluctuations in inventory levels and the many factors which enter into the LIFO calculation which are beyond management’s control, it is the policy of the Company to record the LIFO inventory adjustment only at fiscal year end. As of November 30, 2008 the replacement cost of LIFO inventories exceed their estimated LIFO values by approximately $45,173,000. This would have resulted in a decrease in the replacement cost of LIFO inventories of $108,174,000 from the August 31, 2008 replacement cost of LIFO inventories of $153,347,000. The November 30, 2008 LIFO calculation was computed using quantities and prices as of November 30, 2008 which are not necessarily indicative of the actual quantities and prices which will exist at fiscal year end. If the Company had recorded LIFO inventory adjustments on a quarterly basis, this would have lowered cost of goods sold for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 by $108,174,000 resulting in additional net income of approximately $63,800,000 and resulting in net income for the quarter of $4,200,000 versus a loss of $59,600,000 as currently reported.

As of August 31, 2008, the replacement cost of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying values by approximately $153,347,000. As noted above, because the policy of the Company is to record the LIFO inventory adjustment only at fiscal year end, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold of $90,138,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

7. Credit Facility

In November 2008, the Company amended its Revolving Credit Facility to increase the maximum facility commitment from $100,000,000 to $130,000,000 on a permanent basis and amended certain terms and provisions thereof, including an increase in the interest rate and a modification to the Net Worth covenant. Under the amended Revolving Credit Facility, interest is calculated as follows: (a) for base rate borrowings, at the greater of the Agent Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin of .5% to 0% or, the Federal Funds Open Rate plus .5% or the Daily LIBOR rate plus 1%; and (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.35% to 1.75%. The applicable margin will vary depending on a formula calculating our average unused availability under the facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements may include, among other things, United Refining Company and its subsidiaries current expectations with respect to future operating results, future performance of its refinery and retail operations, capital expenditures and other financial items. Words such as “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects”, “believes”, “estimates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “shall”, “anticipates”, “predicts”, and similar expressions typically identify such forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainties. All phases of the Company’s operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and whether the forward looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements for a number of reasons.

Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge, investors and prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only projections and that actual events or results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors described in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, reports on Form 8-K, etc. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s actual consolidated quarterly or annual operating results have been affected in the past, or could be affected in the future, by additional factors, including, without limitation:

• the effect of the current banking and credit crisis on the Company and our customers and suppliers;

• repayment of debt;

• general economic, business and market conditions;

• risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers of refined petroleum products in our markets;

• the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products;

• the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil;

• the possibility of inefficiencies or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines;

• the availability and cost of financing to us;

• environmental, tax and tobacco legislation or regulation;

• volatility of gasoline prices, margins and supplies;

• future operating results and financial condition; and

• the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained herein or to publicly release the results of any revisions to any such forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or which we become aware of, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Developments

The Company continues to be impacted by the volatility of the petroleum market in fiscal year 2009. Crude prices in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 have continued to fall as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The average NYMEX crude price for the second quarter based on values published on December 31, 2008 was $48.61/bbl, $50.45/bbl or 51% lower than the average price for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 which was $99.06/bbl.

The lagged 3-2-1 crackspread as measured by the difference between the price of crude oil contracts traded on the NYMEX for the proceeding month to the prices of NYMEX gasoline and heating oil contracts in the current trading month, have been severely affected by falling petroleum prices. The Company uses a lagged crackspread as a margin indicator as it reflects the time period between the purchase of crude oil and its delivery to the refinery for processing. The lagged crackspread for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 based on values as of December 31, 2008, is $2.10, a $15.62 or a 116% improvement over the lagged crackspread for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 which was $(13.52).

Historically, the Company has recorded LIFO (Last In First Out) inventory adjustments at fiscal year end. However, if the Company had recorded the LIFO adjustment for the first fiscal quarter of 2009, this would have reduced cost of goods sold by approximately $108.2 million resulting in additional net income of approximately $63.8 million and net income for the quarter of $4.2 million versus a loss of $59.6 million as currently reported.

The Company will conduct a scheduled shutdown for a distillate hydrotreater catalyst change and a reformer unit catalyst regeneration in March 2009 for approximately 15 days. During this time, the refinery will reduce crude runs to approximately 43,000 barrels per day.

Results of Operations

The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail.

The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment sells petroleum products under the Kwik Fill^®, Citgo^® and Keystone^® brand names through a network of Company-operated retail units and convenience and grocery items through gasoline stations and convenience stores under the Red Apple Food Mart^® and Country Fair^® brand names.

Comparison of Fiscal Quarters Ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007

Net Sales

Retail sales increased during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 by $23.2 million or 6.9% to $361.2 million from $338.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The increase is due to the following: $20.5 million in petroleum sales and $2.7 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales increase resulted from a 4.5% increase in retail selling prices per gallon, and a 2.4 million gallon or 2.6% increase in retail petroleum volume. Merchandise sales increase is primarily due to increased prepared food, beverages and cigarette sales due to promotional campaigns and increased selling prices.

16

Costs of Goods Sold

Retail costs of goods sold increased during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 by $.6 million or .2% to $310.8 million from $310.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The contributing factors are as follows: petroleum purchases of $4.0 million due to a decrease in price offset by increases in fuel tax of $1.8 million, merchandise cost of $2.2 million and freight costs of $.6 million.

Gross Profit

Retail gross profit increased during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 by $22.6 million or 81.5% to $50.4 million from $27.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The Company increased its petroleum margins by $22.2 million or 165.5% due primarily to increased selling prices and merchandise margin increased by $.4 million or 3.5%.

Operating Expenses

Retail operating expenses increased during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 by $1.3 million or 4.2% to $31.8 million from $30.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The increase is due to the following: payroll and related payroll costs of $.4 million; credit/customer service costs of $.6 million, supply costs of $.2 million and advertising costs of $.1 million.

(b) The Company defines “heavy” crude oil as crude oil with an American Petroleum Institute specific gravity of 26 or less.

Comparison of Fiscal Quarters Ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007

Net Sales

Wholesale sales increased during the three months ended November 30, 2008 by $53.7 million or 15.1% to $409.2 million from $355.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008 The wholesale sales increase was due to a 35.4% increase in wholesale selling prices.

Costs of Goods Sold

Wholesale costs of goods sold increased during the three months ended November 30, 2008 by $196.0 million or 62.3% to $510.8 million from $314.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The increase in wholesale costs of goods sold during this period was primarily a result of the changing crude oil market pricing.

Gross Profit

Wholesale gross profit decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2008 by $142.3 million or 349.4% to $(101.6) million from $40.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of negative margins due to substantial increases in feedstock costs and lower increases in product sales prices.

18

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased during the three months ended November 30, 2008 by $.4 million or 4.5% to $8.6 million from $9.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008.

Consolidated Expenses:

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) for the three months ended November 30, 2008 increased $2.7 million or 40.4% to $9.4 million from $6.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the decrease of interest income by $2.4 million as a result of less cash available for investing.

Income Tax Expense / (Benefit)

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 was constant at approximately 41.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We operate in an environment where our liquidity and capital resources are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined petroleum products, availability of credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. Included in such factors are, among others, the level of customer product demand, weather conditions, governmental regulations, worldwide political conditions and overall market and economic conditions. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities will continue to be primarily dependent on refining or purchasing and selling refined products and merchandise at margins to cover both fixed and variable costs.

The following table summarizes selected measures of liquidity and capital sources (in thousands):

	November 30, 2008
Cash and cash equivalents	$	17,303
Working capital	$	132,580
Current ratio		2.2
Debt	$	377,876

Primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under a revolving line of credit. We believe available capital resources will be adequate to meet our working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements for existing operations.

19

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds. These investments have staggered maturity dates, none of which exceed three months. They have a high degree of liquidity since the securities are traded in public markets.

Cash provided by working capital items	$	49.0

We require a substantial investment in working capital which is susceptible to large variations during the year resulting from purchases of inventory and seasonal demands. Inventory purchasing activity is a function of sales activity and turnaround cycles for the different refinery units.

Maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures have averaged approximately $6.0 million annually over the last three years for the refining and marketing operations. Management does not foresee any increase in these maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures during fiscal year 2009.

Future liquidity, both short and long-term, will continue to be primarily dependent on realizing a refinery margin sufficient to cover fixed and variable expenses, including planned capital expenditures. We expect to be able to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, contractual obligations, letter of credit and debt service requirements out of cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility with PNC Bank, N.A. as Agent Bank. In November 2008, we increased the limit of our revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A., as Agent Bank (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from $100,000,000 to $130,000,000.

20

This amendment provides the Company greater flexibility relative to its cash flow requirements in light of market fluctuations, particularly involving crude oil prices and seasonal business cycles. The improved liquidity resulting from the expansion of the facility will assist the Company in meeting its working capital, ongoing capital expenditure needs and for general corporate purposes. The term of the agreement does not change. It will expire on November 27, 2011. The amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility affected certain terms and provisions thereof, including an increase in the interest rate and a modification to the Net Worth covenant. Under the new amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility effective November 21, 2008, the applicable margin will continue to be calculated on the average unused availability as follows: (a) for base rate borrowing, at the greater of the Agent Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin of .5% to 0%; the Federal Funds Open Rate plus .5%; or the Daily LIBOR rate plus 1%; (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.35% to 1.75%. Prior to this amendment of the Revolving Credit Facility, commencing May 7, 2007, interest was calculated as follows: (a) for base rate borrowings, at the greater of the Agent Bank’s prime rate less an applicable margin of .5% to 0% or the federal funds rate plus 1%; (b) for euro-rate borrowings, at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75%. For the period commencing November 2006 when the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and extended, until May 7, 2007, interest was calculated as follows: (a) for base rate borrowings, at the greater of the Agent Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin of .25% to .75% or federal funds rate plus 1%; (b) for euro-rate borrowings, at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 3%. The applicable margin varies with our facility leverage ratio calculation. The Agent Bank’s prime rate at November 30, 2008 was 4.00%.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured primarily by certain cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. Until maturity, we may borrow on a borrowing base formula as set forth in the facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $.4 million as of November 30, 2008 and there were outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $19.0 million resulting in net availability of $110.6 million. As of January 12, 2009 there were no borrowings on the $130 million Revolving Credit Facility resulting in net availability of $129.6 million. The Company’s working capital ratio was 2.2 as of November 30, 2008.

Although we are not aware of any pending circumstances which would change our expectation, changes in the tax laws, the imposition of and changes in federal and state clean air and clean fuel requirements and other changes in environmental laws and regulations may also increase future capital expenditure levels. Future capital expenditures are also subject to business conditions affecting the industry. We continue to investigate strategic acquisitions and capital improvements to our existing facilities.

Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment affect nearly all of our operations. As is the case with all the companies engaged in similar industries, we face significant exposure from actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters. Future expenditures related to environmental matters cannot be reasonably quantified in many circumstances due to the uncertainties as to required remediation methods and related clean-up cost estimates. We cannot predict what additional environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted or become effective in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted with respect to products or activities to which they have not been previously applied.

Seasonal Factors

Seasonal factors affecting the Company's business may cause variation in the prices and margins of some of the Company's products. For example, demand for gasoline tends to be highest in spring and summer months, while demand for home heating oil and kerosene tends to be highest in winter months.

As a result, the margin on gasoline prices versus crude oil costs generally tends to increase in the spring and summer, while margins on home heating oil and kerosene tend to increase in winter.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on the Company has not been significant during the last five fiscal years.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company uses its revolving credit facility to finance a portion of its operations. As of January 12, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they provide for variable rates, expose the Company to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the PNC Prime rate, the Federal Funds or LIBOR rate.

The Company has exposure to price fluctuations of crude oil and refined products. The Company does not manage the price risk related to all of its inventories of crude oil and refined products with a permanent formal hedging program, but does manage its risk exposures by managing inventory levels.The Company had no open future positions at November 30, 2008.

See also Recent Developments section of Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

• Provide reasonable assurance that transaction are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

Based on an evaluation by management of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a) – 15(e) and 15(d) – 15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008, (the “Evaluation Date”) the Company’s CEO and CFO (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information requiring disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the timeframe specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
