ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Premcor Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Premcor Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2003, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 14, 2003 (March 6, 2003 as to Note 22) (which report includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s change in its method of accounting for stock based compensation issued to employees as described in Note 2), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

In our report dated February 14, 2003 (March 6, 2003 as to Note 20) (which report includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s change in its method of accounting for stock based compensation issued to employees and the restatement of the consolidated financial statements to give effect to the contribution of Sabine River Holding Corp. common stock owned by Premcor Inc.

In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PREMCOR INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2003

(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Preparation

Premcor Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is an independent petroleum refiner and supplier of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, petroleum coke and other petroleum products. The reference to the “Company” herein may only refer to the specific operations of an individual subsidiary of Premcor Inc. The Company owns and operates three refineries with a combined crude oil throughput capacity of 610,000 barrels per day (“bpd”). The refineries are located in Port Arthur, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; and Lima, Ohio. The Premcor Refining Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“PRG”), is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Premcor Inc. and together with its indirect subsidiary, Port Arthur Coker Company LP (“PACC”), is the principal operating subsidiary of Premcor Inc. PACC owns and operates a heavy oil processing facility, which is operated in conjunction with the Port Arthur refinery.

The Company’s earnings and cash flows from operations are primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling quantities of refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover operating expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities, and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary, in a wide range, over a short period of time. This potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings, and cash flows.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Premcor Inc. and The Premcor Refining Group Inc. and their respective subsidiaries are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the disclosure requirements for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These combined consolidated notes apply equally to the Company and PRG, unless otherwise noted. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s and PRG’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

2. New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires fair value recognition of legal obligations to retire long-lived assets at the time the obligations are incurred. The initial recording of a liability for an asset retirement obligation will require the recording of a corresponding asset. The liability will be adjusted for accretion due to the passage of time and the asset will be depreciated. The Company has asset retirement obligations based on its legal obligations at its refinery sites. The Company considers the settlement date of the obligations indeterminable at this time due to uncertainty about the timing of the retirement of the long-lived assets. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability at this time. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2003, but the initial adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of its asset retirement obligations at such time as a settlement date is determinable.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation requires

10

expanded disclosure of a guarantor’s obligation under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The provisions for the recognition of a liability are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the recognition provisions in the first quarter of 2003 with no material impact on its financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation clarifies consolidation requirements for variable interest entities. It establishes additional factors beyond ownership of a majority voting interest to indicate that a company has a controlling financial interest in an entity (or a relationship sufficiently similar to a controlling financial interest that it requires consolidation). This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created or obtained after January 31, 2003 and must be retroactively applied to holdings in variable interest entities acquired before February 1, 2003 in interim and annual financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. More specifically, SFAS No. 149, among other things, clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, and amends the definition of an “underlying” to conform to recently issued standards. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain aspects of the standard that relate to previously issued guidance, which should continue to be applied in accordance with the previously set effective dates. Also, this standard is effective for existing and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003 as they relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires classification of a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability, or an asset in some circumstances. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and shall otherwise be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic entity. For instruments created before the issuance of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption, this standard shall be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2003, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-11,Reporting Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments That are Subject to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Not Held for Trading Purpose. In Issue No. 03-11, the EITF reached a consensus that determining whether realized gains and losses on derivative contracts not held for trading purposes should be reported on a net or gross basis is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Entities are to continue to consider the indicators set forth in EITF Issue 99-19. The Company is evaluating its accounting treatment for purchases and sales of crude oil made to supply its refineries. Any changes the Company may make in the future in the presentation of revenue and cost of sales for these transactions will not have an impact on gross margin.

In September 2003, the EITF issued an exposure draft of a proposed SFAS,Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which amends SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, SFAS No. 88,Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and SFAS No. 106,Employers’ Accounting for Postretirment Benefits Other than Pensions. The proposed standard replaces SFAS No. 132,Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. The proposed standard does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement plans, but it does require additional disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of these plans. The proposed standard also requires interim disclosures for publicly traded entities related to the amount

11

of net periodic benefit cost and cash flows for pension and other postretirement plans. When the proposed standard is promulgated it will be effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, with interim disclosure requirements effective for the first fiscal quarter of the year following initial application of the annual disclosure requirements.

3. Memphis Refinery Acquisition

Effective March 3, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of the Memphis, Tennessee refinery and related supply and distribution assets from The Williams Companies, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (“Williams”). The purchase price of $474 million included $310 million for the refinery, supply and distribution assets, approximately $159 million for crude and product inventories, and approximately $5 million in transaction fees. The Memphis refinery has a rated crude oil throughput capacity of 190,000 bpd but typically processes approximately 170,000 bpd. The related assets include two truck-loading racks; three petroleum terminals in the area; supporting pipeline infrastructure that transports both crude oil and refined products; crude oil tankage at St. James, Louisiana; and an 80-megawatt power plant adjacent to the refinery. The transfer of certain of these assets remains subject to obtaining third party consents. No portion of the purchase price was held back relative to this delayed transfer, and the Company is able to utilize the assets based on interim agreements.

The acquisition of the Memphis refinery assets was accounted for using the purchase method, and the results of operations of these assets have been included in the Company’s results from the date of acquisition. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation based on independent appraisals and other evaluations. The adjusted purchase price allocation is as follows:

Current assets	$	174.0
Property, plant, and equipment		315.6
Accrued liabilities (including current portion of long-term debt)		(3.0	)
Long-term debt (capital leases)		(10.2	)
Other long-term liabilities (environmental remediation)		(2.3	)
Total purchase price allocation		474.1
Integration costs		1.9
Expenditures for refinery acquisition	$	476.0

As part of the purchase agreement, the Company assumed liabilities of $15.5 million that related to capital lease obligations, cancellation fees for contracts entered into by Williams for Tier II technology that will not be utilized by the Company, and environmental remediation activity. Williams assigned several leases to the Company including two capitalized leases that relate to the leasing of crude oil and product pipelines that are within the Memphis refinery system connecting the refinery to storage facilities and other third party pipelines. Both capital leases have 15-year terms with approximately 14 years of the term remaining.

The purchase agreement also provides for contingent participation, or earn-out, payments up to a maximum aggregate of $75 million to Williams over the next seven years, depending on the level of industry refining margins during that period. The earn-out payments will be calculated annually at the end of the seven 12-month periods beginning on April 1, 2003. The annual earn-out calculation will be equal to one-half of the excess of the actual daily value of the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread over a stipulated margin, at a crude oil throughput rate of 167,123 bpd. The stipulated margin is $3.25 per barrel for the first year and increases by $0.10 per barrel for each year thereafter. The actual daily value of the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread, as defined by the agreement, averaged $3.77 per barrel for the six-month period from April 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003. Any amounts the Company pays to Williams as a result of the earn-out agreement will be recorded as goodwill on the calculation date. Such goodwill would not be amortized, but would be subject to an annual impairment evaluation.

PRG acquired the refinery and related assets utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $525 million in senior notes and utilizing capital contributions from Premcor Inc., which were funded from the proceeds of a public and private offering of common stock. Premcor Pipeline Co., an indirect subsidiary of Premcor Inc. acquired certain of the Memphis pipeline assets. See Note 8, Long-term Debt and Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity for more details of these transactions. Concurrently, PRG amended and restated its credit agreement to permit the acquisition as described in Note 7, Credit Agreement.

4. Refinery Restructuring and Other Charges

In 2003, the Company recorded refinery restructuring and other charges of $18.6 million, of which $2.9 million was recorded in the third quarter. The third quarter charge related to the Company’s plans to close the St. Louis administrative office and environmental remediation activities at the Hartford refinery site. The year-to-date charge also includes a $1.6 million benefit from reducing a charge related to the administrative restructuring which began in 2002, a $0.7 million charge related to the St. Louis office closure, and a $16.6 million charge related to the sale of certain Hartford refinery assets. These activities and transactions are described more fully below.

In 2002, the Company recorded refinery restructuring and other charges of $172.9 million, of which $14.3 million was recorded in the third quarter. The third quarter charge consisted of $10.1 million related to the further restructuring of the Company’s management team, refinery operations and administrative functions and $4.2 million related to the write-down of Premcor Inc.’s 5% interest in Clark Retail Group, Inc. the sole stockholder of Clark Retail Enterprises, Inc. (“CRE”). Premcor Inc. acquired an interest in Clark Retail Group, Inc. when PRG sold its retail business to CRE in 1999. Clark Retail Group, Inc. and CRE filed a petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy laws in October 2002. See Note 13, Discontinued Operations for more details of the bankruptcy and its effects on the Company’s results of operations. The 2002 year-to-date charge of $172.9 million consisted of $137.4 million related to the Hartford refinery shutdown, $32.4 million related to the 2002 restructuring of management, refinery operations and administrative functions, $2.5 million related to the termination of certain guarantees at PACC, $1.4 million related to the write-down of idled assets held for sale, and $4.2 million related to the write-down of Premcor Inc.’s interest in CRE, partially offset by a benefit of $5.0 million related to the unanticipated sale of a portion of previously written-off Blue Island refinery assets.

Hartford Refinery Closure and Asset Sale. In September 2002, the Company ceased refining operations at its Hartford, Illinois refinery and as of December 31, 2002, had written down the long-lived refining assets to their estimated fair value of $49.0 million in anticipation of a sale or lease of the refining assets. On July 31, 2003, the Company completed the sale of certain of the processing units and ancillary assets at the Hartford refinery to ConocoPhillips for $40 million. The Company continues to operate a storage and distribution facility at the refinery site. The $16.6 million charge in 2003 related to the sale transaction, which included the write-down of the refining assets held for sale and certain storage and distribution assets included in property, plant and equipment and certain other costs of the sale.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a $1.0 million reserve for employee severance and plant closure/equipment remediation related to the shutdown of the refining operations at the Hartford refinery. The final cash outlays related to the Hartford refinery shutdown were completed in the first quarter of 2003.

Administrative Restructuring. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a $4.9 million reserve for plans announced in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce staff at the St. Louis administrative office in early 2003. As a result of the Memphis refinery acquisition, the number of positions to be eliminated was reduced by 25 and the Company recorded a reduction in the restructuring reserve of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2003. In May 2003, the Company announced that it would be closing the St. Louis office and moving the administrative functions to the Connecticut office over the next six to twelve months. The office move is expected to cost approximately $12.8 million, which includes $6.9 million of severance related benefits and $5.9 million of other costs such as training, relocation, and the movement of physical assets. The severance related costs will be recognized over the future service period of the affected employees and the other costs will be expensed as incurred.

In 2003, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $25.5 million related to the amendment of its credit agreement and the issuance of $825 million in senior notes under two separate offerings. In 2003, the Company wrote-off $5.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the purchase of a portion of its 12½% Senior Notes due January 15, 2009, early repayment of the Floating Rate Term Loan due November 15, 2003 and 2004, and the amendment of its credit agreement.

7. Credit Agreement

PRG’s credit agreement, which was amended and restated in February 2003, provides for letter of credit issuances of up to the lesser of $760 million or an amount available under a defined borrowing base, less outstanding borrowings. The facility may be increased to $800 million under certain circumstances. PRG utilizes this facility primarily for the issuance of letters of credit to secure crude oil purchase obligations. The borrowing base includes PRG’s unrestricted cash and eligible cash equivalents, eligible investments, eligible receivables, eligible petroleum inventories, paid but unexpired letters of credit, net obligations on swap contracts and PACC’s eligible hydrocarbon inventory. The credit agreement expires in February 2006. As of September 30, 2003, the borrowing base was 1,264.3 million (December 31, 2002 — $815.3 million), with $431.1 million (December 31, 2002—$597.1 million) of the facility utilized for letters of credit.

The credit agreement provides for direct cash borrowings of up to, but not exceeding, in the aggregate $200 million, subject to sublimits of $75 million for working capital and general corporate purposes and $150 million for acquisition-related working capital. Acquisition-related borrowings are subject to a defined repayment provision. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of PRG’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables, crude oil and refined product inventories and trademarks and PACC’s hydrocarbon inventory. PRG’s borrowings under this agreement would bear interest at a rate based on either the U.S. prime lending rate or the Eurodollar rate plus a defined margin, at PRG’s option, based on certain restrictions. As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, there were no direct cash borrowings under the credit agreement.

The credit agreement contains covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit PRG’s dividends, indebtedness, liens, investments and contingent obligations. PRG is also required to comply with certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum working capital of $150 million and the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth of $650 million. The covenants also provide for a cumulative cash flow test that from January 1, 2003 must not be less than zero.

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2003			2002			2003			2002

	$	31.6		$	20.8		$	87.7		$	78.8

Cash paid for interest for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 was $43.3 million (2002—$24.4 million) and $81.5 million (2002—$95.6 million), respectively, for the Company. Cash paid for interest for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 was $42.9 million (2002—$24.4 million) and $78.7 million (2002—$87.5 million), respectively, for PRG.

12. Income Taxes

The Company received net cash income tax refunds of $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and made net cash income tax payments of $2.0 million (PRG - net cash income tax refunds of $0.1 million) in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The Company made net cash income tax payments of $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and received net cash income tax refunds of $12.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

13. Discontinued Operations

In connection with the 1999 sale of PRG’s retail assets to CRE, PRG assigned approximately 170 leases and subleases of retail stores to CRE. PRG remained jointly and severally liable for CRE’s obligations under approximately 150 of these leases, including payment of rent and taxes. PRG may also be contingently liable for environmental obligations at these sites. In October 2002, CRE and its parent company, Clark Retail Group, Inc., filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In bankruptcy hearings throughout the first three quarters of 2003, CRE rejected, and PRG became primarily obligated for, approximately 36 of these leases. During the third quarter of 2003, CRE conducted an orderly sale of its remaining retail assets, including most of the leases and subleases previously assigned by PRG to CRE except those that were rejected by CRE. The Company recorded an after-tax charge of $0.4 million and $6.9 million for the three-month and nine-

18

month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, representing the estimated net present value of its remaining liability under the 36 rejected leases, net of estimated sub-lease income, and other direct costs. The primary obligation under the non-rejected leases and subleases was transferred in the CRE sale process to various unrelated third parties; however, the Company will likely remain jointly and severally liable on the assigned leases and the remaining unassigned leases could be rejected. Total payments on leases and subleases upon which the Company will likely remain jointly and severally liable are currently estimated as follows: (in millions) for the remainder of 2003—$3, 2004—$10, 2005—$10, 2006—$10, 2007—$10, and in the aggregate thereafter—$65.

The Company maintains reserves for the estimated cost of environmental remediation of its former retail store sites. Certain of these reserves were established pursuant to an indemnity agreement with CRE in connection with its 1999 purchase of the Company’s retail assets. This indemnity obligation does not extend to the buyers of CRE’s retail assets and, as a result, the Company will review its environmental reserves accordingly upon the final disposition of the CRE bankruptcy. The following table reconciles the activity and balance of the reserve for the lease obligations as well as the Company’s environmental liability for previously owned and leased retail sites:

	Lease Obligations			Environmental Obligations of Previously Owned and Leased Sites			Total Discontinued Operations
Beginning balance, December 31, 2002	$	—		$	23.0		$	23.0
Net present value of lease obligations		8.6			—			8.6
Accretion and other expenses		2.6			—			2.6
Net cash outlays		(3.3	)		(1.1	)		(4.4	)
Ending balance, September 30, 2003	$	7.9		$	21.9		$	29.8

14. Earnings per Share

The common stock shares used to compute the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2003	2002	2003	2002
Weighted average common shares outstanding	74.1	57.5	72.3	46.0
Dilutive effect of stock options	0.9	—	0.8	—
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution	75.0	57.5	73.1	46.0

Stock options for 4.2 million and 4.3 million common shares for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. Stock options and warrants representing common stock equivalents of 5.3 million and 6.2 million shares for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively, were excluded from diluted shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect as a result of the Company’s net loss.

15. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements of PRG as Co-guarantor of PAFC’s Senior Notes

Presented below are the PRG condensed consolidating balance sheets, statement of operations, and cash flows as required by Rule 3-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. PRG along with PACC, PRG’s wholly owned subsidiary, Sabine River Holding Corp. (“Sabine”), and various other subsidiaries of Sabine are full and unconditional guarantors of Port Arthur Finance Corp’s (“PAFC”) 12½% Senior Notes. PAFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of PACC. Under Rule 3-10, the condensed consolidating balance sheets, statement of operations, and cash flows presented below meet the requirements for financial statements of the issuer and each guarantor of the notes since the issuer and guarantors are all direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PRG, and all guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental and Legal Reserves

As a result of its normal course of business and the closure of two of its refineries, the Company is a party to a number of legal proceedings and environmental-related obligations. In relation to these matters and obligations the Company has accrued, on primarily an undiscounted basis, $68.8 million as of September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $70.2 million). The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these claims and obligations, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. However, an adverse outcome of any one or more of these matters or obligations could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in a future period.

Environmental Product Standards and MACT II

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has promulgated regulations under the Clean Air Act that establish stringent sulfur content specifications for gasoline and on-road diesel fuel designed to reduce air emissions from the use of these products. The Company currently expects to incur aggregate expenditures of approximately $666 million, including $534 million that it expects to expend through 2006, in order to comply with environmental regulations related to the new stringent sulfur content specifications and MACT II regulations. The total costs have been recently revised from an aggregate of $727 million and include further refinement of the plans and in particular a more detailed plan for the newly acquired Memphis refinery. Future revisions to these current cost estimates may be necessary as the Company continues to finalize its plans. Information related to the expected expenditures in relation to these new regulations is shown below.

	Total Estimated Expenditures		Total Expenditures Incurred To-Date		Remaining Expenditures at September 30, 2003		Contract Commitments at September 30, 2003		Year of Concentration of Expenditures

Other Commitments

Crude Oil Purchase Commitment.On October 1, 2002, the Company entered into a crude oil linefill agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) which obligated it to purchase 2.7 million barrels of crude oil in the pipeline system supplying the Lima refinery from MSCG at then current market prices as adjusted by certain predetermined contract provisions. The agreement with MSCG was terminated in June 2003, and the Company purchased the 2.7 million barrels of crude oil from MSCG at a net cost of approximately $80 million.

Long-Term Crude Oil Agreement. PACC has a long-term crude oil supply agreement with PMI Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V., an affiliate of Petroleos Mexicanos (“PEMEX”) the Mexican state oil company, which supplies approximately 161,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to the Port Arthur refinery. Under the terms of this agreement, PACC is obligated to buy Maya crude oil from the affiliate of PEMEX, and the affiliate of PEMEX is obligated to sell Maya crude oil to PACC. The agreement also provides a price adjustment mechanism designed to minimize the effect of adverse refining margin cycles and more specifically to moderate the fluctuations of the coker gross margin, a benchmark measure of the value of coker production over the cost of coker feedstocks. This price adjustment mechanism contains a formula that represents an approximation of the coker gross margin and provides for a minimum average coker margin of $15 per barrel over the first eight years of the agreement, which began on April 1, 2001. The cumulative difference, calculated on a monthly basis, between the actual coker gross margin and the defined minimum coker margin is referred to as a surplus or shortfall, and as of September 30, 2003, a cumulative quarterly surplus of $176.5 million existed under the agreement. As a result, the price the Company pays for Maya crude oil purchased under this agreement in succeeding quarters will not be discounted until this cumulative surplus is offset by future cumulative shortfalls.

Overview

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects the results of operations and financial condition of Premcor Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are materially the same as the results of operations and financial condition of PRG. Therefore, the discussions provided are equally applicable to Premcor Inc. and PRG except where otherwise noted.

We are an independent petroleum refiner and supplier of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, petroleum coke and other petroleum products. We own and operate three refineries with a combined crude oil throughput capacity of approximately 610,000 barrels per day, or bpd. Our refineries are located in Port Arthur, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; and Lima, Ohio. We acquired our Memphis refinery in March 2003. We sell petroleum products in the Midwest, the Gulf Coast and the Eastern and Southeastern United States on an unbranded basis to approximately 1,200 distributors and chain retailers through a combination of our own product distribution system and an extensive third-party owned product distribution system, as well as in the spot market.

Memphis Refinery Acquisition

Effective March 3, 2003, we completed the acquisition of the Memphis, Tennessee refinery and related supply and distribution assets from The Williams Companies, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, or Williams. The purchase price of $474 million included $310 million for the refinery, supply and distribution assets, approximately $159 million for crude and product inventories, and approximately $5 million in transaction fees. The Memphis refinery has a rated crude oil throughput capacity of 190,000 bpd but typically processes approximately 170,000 bpd. The related assets include two truck-loading racks; three petroleum terminals in the area; supporting pipeline infrastructure that transports both crude oil and refined products; crude oil tankage at St. James, Louisiana; and an 80-megawatt power plant adjacent to the refinery. The transfer of certain of these assets remains subject to obtaining third party consents. No portion of the purchase price was held back relative to this delayed transfer, and we are able to utilize the assets based on interim agreements.

The acquisition of the Memphis refinery assets was accounted for using the purchase method, and the results of operations of these assets have been included in our results from the date of acquisition. In the third quarter of 2003, we adjusted the purchase price allocation based on independent appraisals and other evaluations. The adjusted purchase price allocation is as follows:

Current assets	$	174.0
Property, plant, and equipment		315.6
Accrued liabilities (including current portion of long-term debt)		(3.0	)
Long-term debt (capital leases)		(10.2	)
Other long-term liabilities (environmental remediation)		(2.3	)
Total purchase price allocation		474.1
Integration costs		1.9
Expenditures for refinery acquisition	$	476.0

As part of the purchase agreement, we assumed liabilities of $15.5 million that related to capital lease obligations, cancellation fees for contracts entered into by Williams for Tier II technology that we will not utilize, and environmental remediation activity. Williams assigned several leases to us including two capitalized leases that relate to the leasing of crude oil and product pipelines that are within the Memphis refinery system connecting the refinery to storage facilities and other third party pipelines. Both capital leases have 15-year terms with approximately 14 years of the term remaining.

The purchase agreement also provides for contingent participation, or earn-out, payments up to a maximum aggregate of $75 million to Williams over the next seven years, depending on the level of industry refining margins during that period. The earn-out payments will be calculated annually at the end of the seven 12-month periods beginning on April 1, 2003. The annual earn-out calculation will be equal to one-half of the excess of the actual daily value of the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread over a stipulated margin, at a crude oil throughput rate of 167,123 bpd. The stipulated margin is $3.25 per barrel for the first year and increases by $0.10 per barrel for each year

28

thereafter. The actual daily value of the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread, as defined by the agreement, averaged $3.77 per barrel for the six-month period from April 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003. Any amounts we pay to Williams as a result of the earn-out agreement will be recorded as goodwill on the calculation date. Such goodwill would not be amortized, but would be subject to an annual impairment evaluation.

PRG acquired the refinery and related assets utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $525 million in senior notes and utilizing capital contributions from Premcor Inc., which were funded from the proceeds of a public and private offering of common stock. Certain of the Memphis pipeline assets were acquired by The Premcor Pipeline Co., an indirect subsidiary of Premcor Inc. PRG also amended and restated its credit agreement to allow for the acquisition. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flows from Financing Activities” for additional details of the financings.

Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2003 Compared to the Same Periods in 2002

Overview. Net income available to common stockholders was $57.2 million ($0.76 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2003 as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $24.5 million ($0.43 per diluted share) in the corresponding period in 2002. Our operating income was $120.4 million in the third quarter of 2003 as compared to an operating loss of $18.8 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Net income available to common stockholders was $127.0 million ($1.74 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2003 as compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $164.3 million ($3.57 per diluted share) in the corresponding period in 2002. Our operating income was $300.5 million for the first nine months of 2003 as compared to an operating loss of $162.4 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increases in the results of the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 compared to the corresponding periods in 2002 were principally due to stronger market conditions and a lower restructuring charge.

The results of operations for the first nine months of 2003 include the operations of our Memphis refinery beginning March 3, 2003, the date of acquisition. The results of operations for the first nine months of 2002 include the operations of our Hartford refinery. We ceased refining operations at our Hartford refinery in late September 2002.

Net Sales and Operating Revenues.Net sales and operating revenues increased $978.4 million, or 52%, to $2,878.2 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $1,899.8 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Net sales and operating revenues increased $3,067.3 million, or 64%, to $7,874.4 million in the first nine months of 2003 from $4,807.1 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increases were principally due to higher overall product and crude oil prices and additional sales volume from the Memphis refinery, partially offset by the closure of the Hartford refinery. Crude oil and product prices increased significantly in December 2002, with crude oil prices remaining well over $30 per barrel through most of the first quarter of 2003. Crude oil prices remained above more historical levels throughout the first nine months of 2003.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $170.4 million, or 120%, to $312.4 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $142.0 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Gross margin increased $380.8 million, or 82%, to $845.1 million for the first nine months of 2003 from $464.3 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 was principally driven by significantly stronger market conditions including stronger crack spreads and crude oil differentials. These market benefits were partially offset by maintenance activity at our refineries and the effects on our price risk management activities of an extremely volatile and backwardated hydrocarbon market in the first half of 2003.

It is common practice in our industry to look to benchmark market indicators, such as the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 and Chicago 3/2/1 crack spreads, as a predictor of actual refining margins. We utilize the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 as an indicator of refining margins at our Port Arthur and Memphis refineries and the Chicago 3/2/1 as an indicator of refining margins at our Lima refinery. Our actual results will vary as our crude oil and product slates differ from the benchmarks and for other ancillary costs that are not included in the benchmarks, such as crude oil and product grade differentials, transportation costs, storage and credit fees, inventory fluctuations and price risk management activities.

Average crack spreads were significantly stronger in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 as compared to comparable periods of 2002, and average crude oil differentials were also stronger during 2003 as compared to 2002. The Gulf Coast 2/1/1 and Chicago 3/2/1 crack spreads were approximately 95% and 67% higher, respectively, in the third quarter of 2003 than in the corresponding period in 2002, and approximately 75% and 52% higher in the first nine months of 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The crack spreads were weak entering into the first quarter of 2003 but increased significantly as product inventories remained at low levels in a period when they normally build for the spring and summer driving season. The strong margin environment weakened in the second quarter of 2003, but strengthened significantly in the third quarter. We believe these strong margins were primarily due to effects from the Northeastern blackout in mid-August and strong gasoline demand during the summer driving season. The Northeastern blackout led to the shutdown and slow return of operations of several refineries that supply the Midwest market.

The WTI less Maya and WTI less WTS crude oil differentials were approximately 18% and 101% higher, respectively, in the third quarter of 2003 than in the corresponding period in 2002 and approximately 40% and 125% higher in the first nine months of 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The crude oil differentials

33

in the third quarter of 2003 weakened from the highs achieved earlier in the year, but remained higher than the crude differentials experienced in third quarter 2002. We believe that the crude oil differentials weakened in the third quarter due to, among other things, a decrease in heavy and heavy sour production by OPEC. We believe the strong crude oil differentials in the first half of 2003 were partially driven by an increase in sour crude oil shipments from OPEC and other producers in answer to crude supply concerns related to the war with Iraq and by the increase in heavy sour crude oil supply from Venezuela as operations resumed in February following the workers’ strikes. Also contributing to the wide crude oil differentials during this period was the rise in light sweet crude oil prices resulting from the reduced Nigerian production. A strong heavy sour and sour crude oil differential has a significant positive impact on Port Arthur’s gross margin because its crude oil throughput is approximately 80% heavy sour crude oil and approximately 20% light and medium sour crude oils. Both Lima and Memphis process primarily light sweet crude oils and accordingly, do not require an adjustment for crude oil differentials except to the extent to which their crude oil is purchased in a foreign market versus a domestic market. Our Lima and Memphis refineries partially benefited from the stronger WTI less Dated Brent crude oil differential as a portion of their crude oil supply in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 was purchased in the foreign market.

Approximately 15% of Port Arthur’s product slate is lower value petroleum coke, sulfur, and residual oils, which negatively impacted the refinery’s gross margin against the benchmark crack spread. Less than 5% of the product slate at Lima and Memphis is the lower value residual oils or petroleum coke.

Although benchmark market indicators such as the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 and Chicago 3/2/1 are useful in predicting refining gross margin, changes in absolute hydrocarbon prices, the “structure” of the hydrocarbon futures market and our specific price risk mitigation activities have an effect on our results that does not correlate with the benchmark market indicators. In order to supply our refineries with crude oil on a timely basis, we enter into purchase contracts that fix the price of crude oil from one to several weeks in advance of receiving and processing that crude oil. In addition, it is common as part of our marketing activities to fix the price of a portion of our product sales in advance of producing and delivering that refined product. Prior to delivery of the related crude oil and production of the related refined products, these fixed price purchase and sale commitments will change in value as prices rise and fall. Our results are measured by recording these commitments at market value at the end of each accounting period. With the acquisition of our Memphis refinery and the related increase in our domestic crude oil requirements, the average level of our open fixed price purchase commitments is approximately 10 million barrels. Since the average level of our open fixed price sale commitments is approximately 2 million barrels, on a net basis, we carry an average level of open fixed price purchase commitments of 8 million barrels. As a result, a $1 per barrel increase in absolute price levels increases the value of our net fixed price purchase commitments and our pretax operating results by approximately $8 million. A $1 per barrel decline in absolute price levels would produce the opposite effect.

To mitigate the absolute price risk while holding these fixed price purchase and sale commitments, we may purchase futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, that correspond volumetrically with all or a portion of our fixed price purchase and sale commitments. These futures contracts are normally held in the current, or prompt, contract month on the NYMEX in order to achieve the best correlation with the change in the value of the fixed price commitment. As prices change, the effect of the change on the value of the futures contract tends to offset the effect of the change on the value of the fixed price commitment. However, since the volumetric level of our fixed price commitments is a net purchase and is relatively constant, to mitigate price risk it is typical to carry an offsetting net short futures position. Since this net short futures position is held in the prompt contract month on the NYMEX, it is necessary to exchange the prompt month NYMEX futures contract for the following month contract prior to its expiration. When the contract price of the following month contract is less than the contract price of the prompt month contract (a “backwardated” market structure), a loss is realized on the exchange as the prompt month contract is “purchased” at a value higher than the following month contract is “sold.” When the contract price of the following month contract is greater than the contract price of the prompt month contract (a “contango” market structure), the converse is true and a gain is realized on the exchange.

During the first nine months of 2003, absolute hydrocarbon prices were volatile and at historically high levels, but the market structure for crude oil was significantly backwardated, until easing considerably in the third quarter. In order to protect against the negative valuation effects of a possible precipitous decline in absolute price levels, we chose to carry net short NYMEX futures contracts to offset a portion of our net fixed purchase commitment price risk. Due to the backwardated crude oil market structure, this price risk mitigation strategy carried a cost as discussed above. Including the effects of our price risk mitigation activities, our operating results in the third quarter

34

and first nine months of 2003 were negatively affected by approximately $2 million and $39 million, respectively, from a decline in the value of our net fixed price purchase commitments. By comparison, the first nine months of 2002 was principally affected by having our fixed price purchase commitments largely exposed to price risk in the first half of the year, but generally fully offset with net short NYMEX futures contracts in the third quarter. Our operating results in 2002 were negatively affected by approximately $1 million in the third quarter and were benefited by approximately $40 million in the first nine months from the change in the value of our net fixed price purchase commitments. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Risk” for a description of our price risk management strategies and policies.

Refinery Operations

Port Arthur refinery. In the third quarter of 2003 the average crude oil throughput rate at our Port Arthur refinery was approximately 221,700 bpd. The rate was restricted due to a 31-day planned turnaround maintenance of the hydrocracker unit and due to a high crude oil purchasing environment throughout the quarter. The crude oil throughput rate was supplemented with more economical intermediate feedstocks in order to keep downstream units operating at full rates and to take advantage of the strong crack spreads. In the first nine months of 2003, the average crude oil throughput rate at our Port Arthur refinery was approximately 237,000 bpd. In addition to the third quarter crude oil throughput rate restrictions, rates were restricted early in the first quarter and late in the second quarter of 2003 due to a weakened margin environment. Otherwise the crude oil throughput rates were at or above capacity and the refinery ran well.

In the third quarter of 2002, our Port Arthur refinery experienced reduced crude oil throughput rates due to delays in crude oil supply resulting from anticipated repairs at the coker unit and from the impact of production and transportation interruptions caused by hurricanes Isidore and Lili. In the first nine months of 2002, our Port Arthur refinery operations were also affected by the February 2002 shutdown of our coker unit for ten days for unplanned maintenance. We took advantage of the coker outage to make repairs to the distillate and naphtha hydrotreaters, including turnaround maintenance that was originally planned for later in the year. Crude oil throughput rates were restricted by approximately 18,000 barrels per day, or bpd, during this time, but returned to near capacity of 250,000 bpd following the maintenance. We also shut down the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, gas oil hydrotreating unit and sulfur plant for approximately 39 days at our Port Arthur refinery for planned turnaround maintenance in the first quarter of 2002. This turnaround maintenance did not affect crude oil throughput rates but did lower gasoline production. We sold more unfinished products during the first quarter of 2002 due to this shutdown. In the second quarter of 2002, the Port Arthur refinery reduced its crude oil throughput rate due to the narrow price differentials for sour and heavy sour crude.

Lima refinery. The crude oil throughput rate at our Lima refinery was approximately 150,100 bpd and 138,900 bpd in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively. In the third quarter of 2003, the refinery ran well with only limited restriction in the crude oil throughput rate early in the quarter when refining margins weakened. The restricted crude oil throughput rate in 2003 was also affected by an 18-day planned turnaround maintenance of the FCC unit in the first quarter of 2003. The maintenance turnaround at our Lima refinery restricted our crude oil throughput rate by an average of approximately 25,000 bpd during the maintenance period. The Lima refinery had a slightly reduced crude oil throughput rate in the third quarter of 2002 due to delays in crude oil delivery caused by the hurricanes. The crude oil throughput rate in 2002 was restricted due to weak market conditions at certain times during the first nine months of the year and due to a three-day unplanned shutdown of the reformer unit in the second quarter.

Memphis refinery. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, our newly acquired Memphis refinery operated at an average crude oil throughput rate of approximately 154,700 bpd and 161,900 bpd, respectively. The crude oil throughput rate was restricted in the third quarter due to weakened refining margins early in the quarter and planned downtime on a diesel hydrotreater unit. The crude oil throughput rate was supplemented with more economical intermediate feedstocks in order to keep downstream units operating at full rates and to take advantage of the strong crack spreads.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $25.2 million, or 23%, to $134.8 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $109.6 million in the corresponding period of 2002. Operating expenses increased $48.2 million, or 14%, to $386.4 million in the first nine months of 2003 from $338.2 million in the corresponding period of 2002. High natural gas prices were a primary contributor to the increase in operating expenses, resulting in an approximate

35

$13 million and $45 million increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002. The third quarter and first nine months of 2003 compared to 2002 also reflected the absence of Hartford refinery operations and the addition of Memphis refinery operations for March through September. The first nine months of 2003 also reflected various cost reductions at our Port Arthur and Lima refineries such as repairs and maintenance.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $10.0 million, or 84%, to $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $11.9 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase is mainly attributable to a $4.7 million accrual for incentive compensation and increases in costs for certain employee benefit programs, insurance, legal fees, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and non-recurring tax consulting and ERP system improvement costs. General and administrative expenses increased $8.5 million, or 21%, to $49.3 million in the first nine months of 2003 from $40.8 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in general and administrative expense was due to a $7.0 million accrual for incentive compensation for the period and cost increases as noted above. In addition, cost reduction measures initiated in 2002 as a result of the restructuring of our St. Louis general office were partially offset by additional administrative activities required in connection with the acquisition of our Memphis refinery in March 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense increased $0.3 million, or 7%, to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $4.2 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Stock-based compensation expense increased $3.3 million, or 33%, to $13.2 million in the first nine months of 2003 from $9.9 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increases related to the grant of additional options in the second quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $7.1 million, or 34%, to $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $20.8 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Depreciation and amortization increased $12.2 million, or 19%, to $77.1 million for the first nine months of 2003 from $64.9 million in the corresponding period in 2002. This increase was principally due to capital expenditure activity and the addition of depreciation for the Memphis refinery in 2003.

Refinery Restructuring and Other Charges.In 2003, we recorded refinery restructuring and other charges of $18.6 million, of which $2.9 million was recorded in the third quarter. The third quarter charge related to our plans to close the St. Louis administrative office and environmental remediation activities at the Hartford refinery site. The year-to-date charge also includes a $1.6 million benefit from reducing a charge related to the administrative restructuring which began in 2002, a $0.7 million charge related to the St. Louis office closure, and a $16.6 million charge related to the sale of certain Hartford refinery assets. These activities and transactions are described more fully below.

In 2002, we recorded refinery restructuring and other charges of $172.9 million, of which $14.3 million was recorded in the third quarter. The third quarter charge consisted of $10.1 million related to the further restructuring of our management team, refinery operations, and administrative functions and $4.2 million related to the write-down of Premcor Inc.’s 5% interest in Clark Retail Group, Inc. the sole stockholder of Clark Retail Enterprises, Inc. (“CRE”). Premcor Inc. acquired an interest in Clark Retail Group, Inc. when PRG sold its retail business to CRE in 1999. Clark Retail Group, Inc. and CRE filed a petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy laws in October 2002. See “Discontinued Operations” below for more details of the bankruptcy and its effects on the Company’s results of operations. The 2002 year-to-date charge of $172.9 million consisted of $137.4 million related to the Hartford refinery shutdown, $32.4 million related to the 2002 restructuring of management, refinery operations and administrative functions, $2.5 million related to the termination of certain guarantees at PACC, $1.4 million related to the write-down of idled assets held for sale, and $4.2 million related to the write-down of Premcor Inc.’s interest in CRE, partially offset by a benefit of $5.0 million related to the unanticipated sale of a portion of previously written-off Blue Island refinery assets.

Hartford Refinery Closure and Asset Sale. In September 2002, we ceased refining operations at our Hartford, Illinois refinery and as of December 31, 2002, had written down the long-lived refining assets to their estimated fair value of $49.0 million in anticipation of a sale or lease of the refining assets. On July 31, 2003, we completed the sale of certain of the processing units and ancillary assets at the Hartford refinery to ConocoPhillips for $40 million. We continue to operate a storage and distribution facility at the refinery site. The $16.6 million charge in 2003 related to the sale transaction, which

36

included the write-down of the refining assets held for sale and certain storage and distribution assets included in property, plant and equipment and certain other costs of the sale.

As of December 31, 2002, we had a $1.0 million reserve for employee severance and plant closure/equipment remediation related to shutdown of the refining operations at our Hartford refinery. The final cash outlays related to the Hartford refinery shutdown were completed in the first quarter of 2003.

Administrative Restructuring. As of December 31, 2002, we had a $4.9 million reserve for plans announced in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce staff at the St. Louis administrative office in early 2003. As a result of the Memphis refinery acquisition, the number of positions to be eliminated was reduced by 25 and we recorded a reduction in the restructuring reserve of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2003. In May 2003, we announced that we would be closing the St. Louis office and moving the administrative functions to the Connecticut office over the next six to twelve months. The office move is expected to cost approximately $12.8 million, which includes $6.9 million of severance related benefits and $5.9 million of other costs such as training, relocation, and the movement of physical assets. The severance related costs will be recognized over the future service period of the affected employees and the other costs will be expensed as incurred.

The following table summarizes the expected costs associated with the administrative restructuring and provides a reconciliation of the administrative restructuring reserve as of September 30, 2003:

	Severance			Other Costs			Total Costs

Interest Expense and Finance Income, net. Interest expense and finance income, net increased by $10.0 million, or 49%, to $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $20.5 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to additional interest expense related to the issuance of $525 million senior notes in February 2003 and $300 million senior notes in June 2003. Interest expense and finance income, net increased $3.4 million, or 4%, to $84.9 million for the first nine months of 2003 from $81.5 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase primarily related to lower interest income. The first nine months of 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002 included an increase in interest expense due to the new senior notes; however, this increase was offset by lower financing costs related to our Sabine restructuring and higher capitalized interest in 2003.

Loss on Extinguishment of Long-term Debt. In the first nine months of 2003, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $10.4 million (PRG — $8.1 million). The loss included a cash premium of $5.0 million (PRG — $2.7 million) related to the early redemption and purchase of long-term debt and a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $5.4 million related to the prepaid long-term debt and the amended credit agreement.

In the third quarter and first nine months 2002, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $0.2 million (PRG — nil) and $19.5 million (PRG — $9.3 million), respectively, primarily related to the early redemption and repurchase of portions of long-term debt. The loss included cash premiums of $9.4 million (PRG — $0.9 million), a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $9.5 million (PRG — $7.8 million), and the write-off of a prepaid debt guarantee fee of $0.6 million.

37

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit. We recorded an income tax provision of $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to an income tax benefit of $15.0 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Our effective tax rate was 35.9% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to 38.0% in the corresponding period in 2002. We recorded an income tax provision of $71.3 million in the first nine months of 2003 compared to an income tax benefit of $99.9 million in the corresponding period in 2002. Our effective tax rate was 34.7% for the first nine months of 2003 compared to 37.9% in the corresponding period in 2002.

Discontinued Operations.In connection with the 1999 sale of PRG’s retail assets to Clark Retail Enterprises, Inc., or CRE, PRG assigned approximately 170 leases and subleases of retail stores to CRE. PRG remained jointly and severally liable for CRE’s obligations under approximately 150 of these leases, including payment of rent and taxes. PRG may also be contingently liable for environmental obligations at these sites. In October 2002, CRE and its parent company, Clark Retail Group, Inc., filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In bankruptcy hearings throughout the first three quarters of 2003, CRE rejected, and PRG became primarily obligated for, approximately 36 of these leases. During the third quarter of 2003, CRE conducted an orderly sale of its remaining retail assets, including most of the leases and subleases previously assigned by PRG to CRE except those that were rejected by CRE. We recorded an after-tax charge of $0.4 million and $6.9 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, representing the estimated net present value of our remaining liability under the 36 rejected leases, net of estimated sub-lease income, and other direct costs. The primary obligation under the non-rejected leases and subleases was transferred in the CRE sale process to various unrelated third parties; however, we will likely remain jointly and severally liable on the assigned leases and the remaining unassigned leases could be rejected. Total payments on leases and subleases upon which we will likely remain jointly and severally liable are currently estimated as follows: (in millions) for the remainder of 2003—$3, 2004—$10, 2005—$10, 2006—$10, 2007—$10, and in the aggregate thereafter—$65.

We maintain reserves for the estimated cost of environmental remediation of our former retail store sites. Certain of these reserves were established pursuant to an indemnity agreement with CRE in connection with its 1999 purchase of our retail assets. This indemnity obligation does not extend to the buyers of CRE’s retail assets and, as a result, we will review our environmental reserves accordingly upon the final disposition of the CRE bankruptcy. The following table reconciles the activity and balance of the reserve for the lease obligations as well as our environmental liability for previously owned and leased retail sites:

	Lease Obligations			Environmental Obligations of Previously Owned and Leased Sites			Total Discontinued Operations
Beginning balance, December 31, 2002	$	—		$	23.0		$	23.0
Net present value of lease obligations		8.6			—			8.6
Accretion and other expenses		2.6			—			2.6

Ending balance, September 30, 2003	$	7.9		$	21.9		$	29.8

Outlook

This Outlook section contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business. Even though we believe our expectations regarding future events are reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Factors beyond our control could cause our actual results to vary materially from our expectations and are discussed on the first page of the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Market. Market conditions for the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2003 through the middle of October have remained similar to those of the third quarter. The Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread has averaged approximately $4.03

38

per barrel, the Chicago 3/2/1 crack spread has averaged approximately $6.88 per barrel, and the WTI/Maya differential has averaged approximately $6.14 per barrel.

It is common practice in our industry to look to benchmark market indicators as a predictor of actual refining margins, such as the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 and Chicago 3/2/1. To improve the reliability of this benchmark as a predictor of actual refining margins, it must first be adjusted for a crude oil slate that is not 100% light and sweet. Secondly, it must be adjusted to reflect variances from the benchmark product slate to the actual, or anticipated, product slate. Lastly, it must be adjusted for any other factors not anticipated in the benchmark, including crude oil and product grade differentials, ancillary crude and product costs such as transportation, storage and credit fees, inventory fluctuations and price risk management activities.

Refinery Operations. Our Port Arthur refinery has historically produced roughly equal parts gasoline and distillate. For this reason, we believe the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread appropriately reflects our product slate. However, approximately 15% of Port Arthur’s product slate is lower value petroleum coke, sulfur, and residual oils which will negatively impact the refinery’s performance against the benchmark crack spread. Port Arthur’s crude oil slate is approximately 80% heavy sour crude oil and 20% medium sour crude oil. Accordingly, the WTI/Maya and WTI/WTS crude oil differentials can be used as an adjustment to the benchmark crack spread. We do not expect to receive discounts on our purchases of Maya crude oil in 2003 under our long-term crude oil supply agreement. Ancillary crude costs, primarily transportation, at Port Arthur averaged $0.70 per barrel of crude oil throughput in the third quarter of 2003. Based on current market conditions and a scheduled maintenance turnaround of the reformer unit, we expect the crude oil throughput rate at our Port Arthur refinery to approximate 220,000 bpd to 230,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Our Lima refinery has a product slate of approximately 60% gasoline and 30% distillate and we believe the Chicago 3/2/1 is an appropriate benchmark crack spread. This refinery consumes approximately 95% light sweet crude oil with the balance being light sour crude oils. We opportunistically buy a mix of domestic and foreign sweet crude oils. The foreign crude oils consumed at Lima are priced relative to Brent and the WTI/Brent differential can be used to adjust the benchmark. Ancillary crude costs for Lima averaged $1.45 per barrel of crude throughput in the third quarter of 2003. Based on current market conditions and a scheduled maintenance turnaround of the isocracker unit, we expect the crude oil throughput rate at our Lima refinery to approximate 140,000 bpd to 150,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Our Memphis refinery was acquired effective March 3, 2003 and averaged approximately 154,700 bpd of crude oil throughput in the third quarter of 2003. Based on current market conditions, we expect the crude oil throughput rate at our Memphis refinery to approximate 150,000 bpd to 160,000 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2003. We also expect that the operating results will track a Gulf Coast 2/1/1 benchmark crack spread and that we will be able to realize a gross margin benefit over the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 crack spread of approximately $0.63 per barrel, resulting from location premiums for refined products, partially offset by crude oil transportation costs.

Operating Expenses.Natural gas is the most variable component of our operating expenses. On an annual basis, our Port Arthur, Memphis and Lima refineries purchase approximately 29 million mmbtu of natural gas, with most of these purchases relating to our Port Arthur refinery. In a $3.00 per mmbtu natural gas price environment and assuming average crude oil throughput levels, our annual operating expenses should range between $470 million and $500 million. However, natural gas prices in the first nine months of 2003 have been significantly higher than this rate. It is also important to note that, under contracts that expire in September 2004, we contract for the purchase of natural gas on a calendar month basis and set the price at the beginning of the month. Therefore, our natural gas costs reflect the price of natural gas on the day the contract is set, and not the average price for the period. We are reviewing options to mitigate our exposure to natural gas price fluctuations.

General and Administrative Expenses. With the acquisition of the Memphis refinery, we expect our full year 2003 general and administrative expenses to be approximately $57 million to $58 million, excluding incentive compensation. This represents an increase over previous estimates resulting from costs associated with certain employee benefit programs, legal fees, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and non-recurring tax consulting costs.

Our incentive compensation is based solely on our achievement of earnings per share results in excess of a minimum of $2.00 per share. In administering our incentive compensation plan, our Board of Directors typically excludes refinery restructuring charges and other such special items in determining the threshold level of earnings

39

per share. We have accrued $7.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 for incentive compensation estimated through that date.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We recognize non-cash, stock-based compensation expense computed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard or SFAS, No. 123Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for all stock options granted beginning in 2002. In the first nine months of 2003, an additional 595,000 options were granted to employees and directors. Stock-based compensation expense in 2003, for options granted in 2002 and 2003, will approximate $17 million to $18 million.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization in the third quarter of 2003 was $27.9 million. This amount will increase in future periods based upon the completion and placing into service of our capital expenditure activity. Capital activity is generally depreciated over a 25-year life. Depreciation and amortization expense includes amortization of our turnaround costs, generally over four years.

Interest Expense. Based on our outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2003, our annual gross interest expense will be approximately $136 million and amortization of deferred financing costs will be approximately $9 million. All of our outstanding debt is at fixed rates with the exception of $10 million in floating rate notes tied to LIBOR. Reported interest expense is reduced by capitalized interest.

Income Taxes. We expect our effective income tax rate for 2003 will range from approximately 35% to 38%.

Capital Expenditures and Turnarounds. Capital expenditures and turnarounds for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $125.7 million. This amount excludes the purchase price of the Memphis refinery. We plan to expend approximately $145 million to $155 million for capital expenditures and turnarounds for the remainder of 2003 and approximately $500 million in 2004. We plan to fund capital expenditures with internally generated funds and cash on hand. If internally generated funds and cash on hand are insufficient, we will reduce our capital expenditure plans accordingly.

We are continuing to evaluate a project to reconfigure the Lima refinery to process a more sour and heavier crude slate. We are also evaluating a similar project at our Memphis refinery. These initiatives are in a very preliminary stage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balance

As of September 30, 2003, we had a cash and short-term investment balance of $487.9 million of which $434.9 million was held by PRG, $47.6 million by Premcor Inc, $4.4 million by Opus Energy, a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary of Premcor Inc., and $1.0 million by various other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Premcor Inc. In addition, under our common security agreement related to PACC’s senior debt, PACC is required to restrict $45.0 million of cash for debt service at all times plus restrict an amount equal to the next scheduled principal and interest payment, prorated based on the number of months remaining until that payment is due. As of September 30, 2003, cash of $53.9 million was restricted under these requirements. We reflected the change to this restricted cash balance that related to principal payments in cash flows from financing activities and the change that related to interest payments in cash flows from operating activities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2003 was $78.2 million compared to net cash flows used in operating activities of $42.2 million in the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in the provision of cash from operating activities in 2003 as compared to 2002 is mainly attributable to strong market conditions, which resulted in strong operating results. Working capital as of September 30, 2003 was $980.2 million, a 2.44-to-1 current ratio, versus $320.9 million as of December 31, 2002, a 1.57-to-1 current ratio. The increase in working capital during the first nine months of 2003 was due primarily to strong operating results, the Memphis refinery acquisition, and cash proceeds from our June 2003 debt offering.

Environmental and Legal Reserves. As a result of our normal course of business and the closure of two of our refineries, we are party to a number of legal proceedings and environmental-related obligations. In relation to these matters and obligations we have accrued, on primarily an undiscounted basis, $68.8 million as of September 30, 2003 (December 31, 2002 — $70.2 million).

In January 2001, we ceased refining operations at our Blue Island, Illinois refinery, and in September 2002, we ceased refining operations at our Hartford, Illinois refinery. We continue to utilize storage and distribution facilities at both sites. Upon closure of these refineries we recorded reserves for environmental obligations associated with their closure. The environmental obligations take into account costs that are reasonably foreseeable at this time. In relation to the Blue Island reserve, we are currently in discussions with governmental agencies concerning a remediation program and expect to have a final plan in place before the end of 2003. In relation to the Hartford reserve, we are in preliminary stages of producing a remediation plan. As the remediation plans are finalized and as work is performed, adjustments of the reserves may be necessary. We expect to spend approximately $2 million to $4 million in 2003 related to the Hartford and Blue Island reserves.

Crude Oil Purchase Commitment. On October 1, 2002, we entered into a crude oil linefill agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., or MSCG, which obligated us to purchase 2.7 million barrels of crude oil in the pipeline system supplying our Lima refinery from MSCG. The agreement with MSCG was terminated in June 2003, and we purchased the 2.7 million barrels of crude oil from MSCG at a net cost of approximately $80 million.

Long-Term Crude Oil Contract. PACC has a long-term crude oil supply agreement with PMI Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V., an affiliate of Petroleos Mexicanos or PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, which supplies approximately 161,000 barrels per day of Maya crude oil to the Port Arthur refinery. Under the terms of this agreement, PACC is obligated to buy Maya crude oil from the affiliate of PEMEX, and the affiliate of PEMEX is obligated to sell Maya crude oil to PACC. The agreement also provides a price adjustment mechanism designed to minimize the effect of adverse refining margin cycles and more specifically to moderate the fluctuations of the coker gross margin, a benchmark measure of the value of coker production over the cost of coker feedstocks. This price adjustment mechanism contains a formula that represents an approximation of the coker gross margin and provides for a minimum average coker margin of $15 per barrel over the first eight years of the agreement, which began on April 1, 2001. The cumulative difference, calculated on a monthly basis, between the actual coker gross margin and the defined minimum coker margin is referred to as a surplus or shortfall, and as of September 30, 2003, a cumulative quarterly surplus of $176.5 million existed under the agreement. As a result, the price we pay for Maya

41

crude oil purchased under this agreement in succeeding quarters will not be discounted until this cumulative surplus is offset by future cumulative shortfalls.

We currently expect that funds generated from operating activities together with existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and availability under our working capital facility will be adequate to fund our ongoing operating requirements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2003 were $560.5 million as compared to $91.8 million in the corresponding period of 2002. The cash flows used in investing activities in 2003 reflected the acquisition of the Memphis refinery and proceeds from the sale of certain processing units and ancillary assets at our Hartford refinery. Aside from these items, activity in 2003 and 2002 primarily reflected capital expenditures.

We classify our capital expenditures into two main categories, mandatory and discretionary. Mandatory capital expenditures, such as for turnarounds and maintenance, are required to maintain safe and reliable operations or to comply with regulations pertaining to soil, water and air contamination or pollution, regulations pertaining to new product standards, and regulations pertaining to occupational safety and health issues. We estimate the total mandatory capital and turnaround expenditures, excluding expenditures for new product standards and MACT II discussed below, for all three refineries will average $130 million per year over the next four years. The forecast for these expenditures is approximately $86 million for 2003. Our total mandatory capital and refinery maintenance turnaround expenditures, excluding expenditures for new product standards and MACT II discussed below, were $38.4 million and $56.8 million in the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our Lima refinery completed a turnaround in the first quarter of 2003 and our Port Arthur refinery completed a turnaround in the third quarter of 2003. Our Port Arthur refinery completed a turnaround in the first quarter 2002.

The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, has promulgated regulations under the Clean Air Act that establish stringent sulfur content specifications for gasoline and on-road diesel fuel designed to reduce air emissions from the use of these products. In addition to the mandatory expenditures discussed above, we expect to incur total expenditures of approximately $666 million, including $534 million that we expect to expend through 2006, in order to comply with environmental regulations related to the new stringent sulfur content specifications and MACT II regulations. The total costs have been recently revised from an aggregate of $727 million and include further refinement of the plans and in particular a more detailed plan for the newly acquired Memphis refinery. Future revisions to these current cost estimates may be necessary as we continue to finalize our plans. Information related to the expected capital expenditures in relation to these new regulations is shown below.

	Total Estimated Expenditures		Total Expenditures Incurred To-Date		Remaining Expenditures at September 30, 2003		Contract Commitments at September 30, 2003		Year of Concentration of Expenditures
Gasoline low sulfur standards	$	310	$	128	$	182	$	263	2003/2004
Diesel low sulfur standards		330		4		326		—	2005
MACT II		26		—		26		—	2004
Total	$	666	$	132	$	534	$	263

We currently expect to produce gasoline under the new sulfur standards at our Port Arthur refinery prior to January 1, 2004 and at our Memphis refinery early in the second quarter of 2004. As a result of the corporate pool averaging provisions of the regulations and our possession of what we believe to be sufficient sulfur credits, we intend to defer a significant portion of the investment required for compliance at our Lima refinery until the end of 2005. Our forecast for complying with these regulations is approximately $155 million in 2003. In the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 we incurred capital expenditures of $75.5 million and $25.5 million, respectively, related to these regulations. It is our intention to fund expenditures necessary to comply with these new environmental standards with cash flow from operations. Due to the volatile economic nature of our business we are organizing our plans and associated expenditures for compliance with these regulations into “modules” that can be shifted based on available funding. This will allow us to expedite or slow down the major portions of the project without compromising compliance dates but allowing us to take advantage of phase-in periods, if necessary.

42

In May 2003, we announced plans to expand our Port Arthur, Texas refinery. The plans include increasing Port Arthur’s crude oil throughput capacity from its current rate of 250,000 bpd to approximately 325,000 bpd, and expanding the coker unit capacity from its current rated capacity of 80,000 bpd to 105,000 bpd, which will further increase our ability to process lower cost, heavy sour crude oil. This project is estimated to cost between $200 million and $220 million and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2005. This project will be funded primarily from the proceeds of the $300 million in senior notes issued in June 2003, which are described below in “—Cash Flows from Financing Activities.” We plan to spend approximately $25 million in 2003 related to the Port Arthur expansion and approximately $10 million in 2003 for other discretionary capital expenditures. In the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, we incurred discretionary capital expenditures of $11.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively. We plan to fund mandatory and discretionary capital expenditures with available cash and cash flow from operations and will adjust our annual expenditures accordingly.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $796.9 million in the first nine months of 2003 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $219.8 million in the corresponding period of 2002. In 2003, cash flows provided by financing activities related to proceeds from the sale of common stock and issuance of new long-term debt partially offset by the early repayment of certain long-term debt.

In 2003, Premcor Inc. received net proceeds of approximately $306 million from a public offering of 13.1 million shares of common stock and a private offering of 2.9 million shares of common stock with Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P. and its affiliates, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and certain Premcor executives. In February 2003, PRG completed an offering of $525 million in senior notes, of which $350 million, due in 2013, bear interest at 9½% per annum and $175 million, due in 2010, bear interest at 9¼% per annum. A portion of the net proceeds of these transactions was utilized to redeem the remaining $40.1 million principal balance of Premcor USA’s 11½% subordinated debentures at a $2.3 million premium; to repay PRG’s $240 million floating rate loan at par; and to purchase, in the open market, $14.7 million in face value of a portion of the 12½% senior notes at a $2.7 million premium. In June 2003, PRG completed an offering of $300 million in senior notes, due 2015, bearing interest at 7½% per annum. PACC made $14.2 million of scheduled principal payments on its 12½% senior notes in 2003.

In 2002, Premcor Inc. received net proceeds of $482 million from the initial public offering of common stock and a private placement of common stock. We used the proceeds from the offerings along with cash on hand to repay certain long-term debt of approximately $645.2 million, of which $443.3 million related to PRG long-term debt.

In 2003, we incurred $25.5 million of deferred financing costs in relation to the amendment of the credit agreement and the issuance of the new senior notes. In 2002, we incurred $11.4 million of deferred financing costs primarily related to a consent solicitation process, which facilitated the restructuring of PRG and PACC.

In 2003, Premcor Inc. made capital contributions to Premcor USA of $297.5 million and Premcor USA subsequently contributed $263.3 million to PRG primarily to fund the Memphis refinery acquisition and to repay certain long-term debt. In 2002, Premcor Inc. made capital contributions to Premcor USA of $442.9 million and Premcor USA subsequently contributed $248.1 million to PRG, all primarily to repay certain long-term debt.

We continue to evaluate the most efficient use of capital and, from time to time, depending upon market conditions, may seek to purchase certain of our outstanding debt securities in the open market or by other means, in each case to the extent permitted by existing covenant restrictions.

Credit Agreements

PRG’s credit agreement, which was amended and restated in February 2003, provides for letter of credit issuances of up to the lesser of $760 million or an amount available under a defined borrowing base, less outstanding borrowings. The facility may be increased to $800 million under certain circumstances. PRG utilizes this facility primarily for the issuance of letters of credit to secure crude oil purchase obligations. The borrowing base includes PRG’s cash and eligible cash equivalents, eligible investments, eligible receivables, eligible petroleum inventories, paid but unexpired letters of credit, net obligations on swap contracts and PACC’s eligible hydrocarbon inventory.

43

The credit agreement expires in February 2006. As of September 30, 2003, the borrowing base was $1,264.3 million (December 31, 2002 — $815.3 million), with $431.1 million (December 31, 2002—$597.1 million) of the facility utilized for letters of credit.

The credit agreement provides for direct cash borrowings of up to, but not exceeding in the aggregate, $200 million, subject to sublimits of $75 million for working capital and general corporate purposes and a sublimit of $150 million for acquisition-related working capital. Acquisition-related borrowings are subject to a defined repayment provision. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of PRG’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, crude oil and refined product inventories and trademarks and PACC’s hydrocarbon inventory. PRG’s interest rate for any borrowings under this agreement would bear interest at a rate based on either the U.S. prime lending rate or the Eurodollar rate plus a defined margin, at our option based on certain restrictions. As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, there were no direct cash borrowings under the credit agreement.

The credit agreement contains covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit PRG’s dividends, indebtedness, liens, investments and contingent obligations. PRG is also required to comply with certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of working capital of at least $150 million and the maintenance of tangible net worth of at least $650 million, as amended. The covenants also provide for a cumulative cash flow test that from January 1, 2003 to February 10, 2006 must not be less than zero.

PRG also has a $40 million cash-collateralized credit facility expiring May 31, 2004. This facility was arranged in support of lower interest rates on the Series 2001 Ohio Bonds. In addition, this facility can be utilized for other non-hydrocarbon purposes. As of September 30, 2003, $18.2 million (December 31, 2002—$10.1 million) of the line of credit was utilized for letters of credit.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires fair value recognition of legal obligations to retire long-lived assets at the time the obligations are incurred. The initial recording of a liability for an asset retirement obligation will require the recording of a corresponding asset. The liability will be adjusted for accretion due to the passage of time and the asset will be depreciated. We have asset retirement obligations based on our legal obligations at our refinery sites. We consider the settlement date of the obligations indeterminable at this time due to uncertainty about the timing of the retirement of the long-lived assets. Accordingly, we cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability at this time. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2003, but the initial adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We will measure and recognize the fair value of our asset retirement obligations at such time as a settlement date is determinable.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation requires expanded disclosure of a guarantor’s obligation under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The provisions for the recognition of a liability are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We adopted the recognition provisions in the first quarter of 2003 with no material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No.51. This interpretation clarifies consolidation requirements for variable interest entities. It establishes additional factors beyond ownership of a majority voting interest to indicate that a company has a controlling financial interest in an entity (or a relationship sufficiently similar to a controlling financial interest that it requires consolidation). This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created or obtained after January 31, 2003 and must be retroactively applied to holdings in variable interest entities acquired before February 1, 2003 in interim and annual financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

44

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. More specifically, SFAS No. 149, among other things, clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, and amends the definition of an “underlying” to conform to recently issued standards. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain aspects of the standard that relate to previously issued guidance, which should continue to be applied in accordance with the previously set effective dates. Also, this standard is effective for existing and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003 as they relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires classification of a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability, or an asset in some circumstances. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and shall otherwise be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a nonpublic entity. For instruments created before the issuance of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption, this standard shall be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2003, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-11,Reporting Gains and Losses on Derivative Instruments That are Subject to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Not Held for Trading Purpose. In Issue No. 03-11, the EITF reached a consensus that determining whether realized gains and losses on derivative contracts not held for trading purposes should be reported on a net or gross basis is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. Entities are to continue to consider the indicators set forth in EITF Issue 99-19. We are evaluating our accounting treatment for purchases and sales of crude oil we make to supply our refineries. Any changes we may make in the future in the presentation of revenue and cost of sales for these transactions will not have an impact on our gross margin.

In September 2003, the EITF issued an exposure draft of a proposed SFAS, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which amends SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, SFAS No. 88,Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and SFAS No. 106,Employers’ Accounting for Postretirment Benefits Other than Pensions. The proposed standard replaces SFAS No. 132,Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. The proposed standard does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement plans, but it does require additional disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of these plans. The proposed standard also requires interim disclosures for publicly traded entities related to the amount of net periodic benefit cost and cash flows for pension and other postretirement plans. When the proposed standard is promulgated it will be effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, with interim disclosure requirements effective for the first fiscal quarter of the year following initial application of the annual disclosure requirements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss from adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates. None of our market risk sensitive instruments are held for trading.

Commodity Risk

Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, commodities such as crude oil, other feedstocks, gasoline, other refined products and natural gas. The demand for these refined products depends on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities fluctuate significantly. The movement in petroleum prices does not necessarily have a direct long-term relationship to net income. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on our operating results is determined more by the rate at which the prices of refined products adjust to reflect such changes.

We fix the price on our crude oil purchases from one to several weeks prior to the time when the crude oil is processed and sold. As a result, we are exposed to crude oil price movements relative to refined product price movements during this period. In 2003, with the acquisition of our Memphis refinery, our average fixed price purchase commitments when offset by our fixed price sale commitments increased to a net long inventory position of approximately 8 million barrels. As of September 30, 2003, if the market price of these net fixed price commitments had been lower by $1 per barrel, we would have recorded additional cost of sales of approximately $8 million, based on our treatment of these contracts as derivatives. An increase in the market price would reduce cost of sales by a like amount. We may actively mitigate some or all of the price risk related to our fixed price purchase and sale commitments. These risk management decisions are based on many factors including the relative level and volatility of absolute hydrocarbon prices and the extent to which the futures market is in backwardation or contango. When the contract price of the following month futures contract is less than the contract price of the current, or prompt, month contract, a “backwardated” market structure exists, and when the contract price of the following month futures contract is greater than the contract price of the prompt month contract, a “contango” market structure exists. The cost of risk management activities generally increase in a backwardated market. As we look ahead to 2004, we are reviewing our risk management program as we believe the cost of the program may exceed the benefit derived from this added layer of risk protection during more normal oil market conditions.

We use several strategies to minimize the impact on profitability of volatility in feedstock costs and refined product prices. These strategies generally involve the purchase and sale of exchange traded, energy related futures and options with a duration of six months or less. To a lesser extent we use energy swap agreements similar to those traded on the exchanges, such as crack spreads and crude oil options, to better match the specific price movements in our markets. These strategies are designed to minimize, on a short-term basis, our exposure to the risk of fluctuations in crude oil prices and refined product margins. The number of barrels of crude oil and refined products covered by such contracts varies from time to time. Such purchases and sales are closely managed and subject to internally established risk policies. The results of these price risk mitigation activities affect refining cost of sales and inventory costs. We do not engage in speculative futures or derivative transactions.

We prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk associated with derivative commodity positions. This analysis may differ from actual results. The fair value of each derivative commodity position was based on quoted futures prices. As of September 30, 2003, a $1 change in quoted futures prices would result in an approximate $7 million change to the fair market value of the derivative commodity position and correspondingly the same change in operating income. As of December 31, 2002, a $1 change in quoted futures prices would result in an approximately $2 million change to the fair market value of the derivative commodity position and correspondingly the same change in operating income.

Our results are also sensitive to the fluctuations in natural gas prices due to the use of natural gas to fuel our refinery operations. Based on our average annual consumption of approximately 29 million mmbtu of natural gas, a $1 change per mmbtu in the price of natural gas would generally change our natural gas costs by $29 million. Our sensitivity to a change in the price of natural gas would also be impacted by our method of purchasing natural gas. We contract for the purchase of natural gas on a calendar month basis and set the price at the beginning of the month.

46

Therefore, our natural gas costs will reflect the price of natural gas on the day the contract is set, and not the average price for the period. We are reviewing options to mitigate our exposure to natural gas price fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary interest rate risk is associated with our long-term debt. We manage this interest rate risk by maintaining a high percentage of our long-term debt with fixed rates. As of September 30, 2003 we have an outstanding balance, including current maturities, of $1,451.3 million (PRG—$1,440.9 million). The weighted average interest rate on our fixed rate long-term debt is 9.3%. We are subject to interest rate risk on our Ohio bonds and any direct borrowings under our credit agreement. As of September 30, 2003, a 1% change in interest rates on our floating rate loans, which totaled $10 million, would result in a $0.1 million change in pretax income on an annual basis. In the first quarter of 2003, we refinanced our $240 million of floating rate loans with fixed rate debt. As of December 31, 2002, a 1% change in interest rate on our floating rate loans, which totaled $250 million, would result in a $2.5 million change in pretax income on an annual basis. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, there were no direct borrowings under our credit agreement.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The following is an update of developments during the third quarter of 2003 of material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our or their property is subject, including environmental proceedings that involve potential monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more and to which a governmental authority is a party. For additional discussion of our material pending legal proceedings, see Premcor Inc.’s and PRG’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2002.

Village of Hartford, Illinois Litigation. In May 2003, the Attorney General’s office for the State of Illinois filed a lawsuit against us and a former owner of the Hartford refinery for injunctive relief, cost recovery and penalties related to subsurface contamination in the area of the refinery and facilities owned by other companies. The case, entitledPeople of the State of Illinois, ex rel. v. The Premcor Refining Group, Inc. et al., is filed in the Circuit Court for the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois. The Attorney General’s office also sent notices to other companies with current or former operations in the area of the state’s intent to sue those companies as well. We, along with three other companies, have met with the state and US Environmental Protection Agency regarding the issues in the Village of Hartford and those discussions are ongoing.

In July 2003, approximately 12 residents of the Village of Hartford, Illinois filed a lawsuit against us and a prior owner of the Hartford refinery alleging personal injury and property damage due to releases from the refinery and related pipelines. The plaintiffs are seeking class certification and unspecified damages. The case, entitledSparks, et al. v. The Premcor Refining Group, Inc., et al. has been removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
