WAINOCO OIL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1994
(Unaudited)

1.    Financial statement presentation and earnings per share

Financial statement presentation
     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Wainoco Oil Corporation, a Wyoming Corporation, and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, including Wainoco Oil & Gas Company and Frontier Holdings Inc.
("Frontier" or the "Refinery"), collectively referred to as Wainoco or the
Company.  These financial statements have been prepared by the registrant
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and include all adjustments (comprised of only
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Wainoco believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
It is suggested that the financial statements included herein be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
Wainoco's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Nonrecurring transactions
     During the first quarter of 1993, the Company received payments of
insurance proceeds, as reimbursement for losses incurred, resulting in
nonrecurring income of $1.0 million, which has been classified as other
income in the consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings per share
     Primary and fully diluted earnings per share have been computed on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and assume the exercise
of stock option shares for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  The effect
of dilution for the fully diluted computation was immaterial.  No effect was
given for the addition of dilutive stock options for the three months ended
March 31, 1993 as a loss was incurred.  The primary and fully diluted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 were
27,330,353 and 22,062,177, respectively.

3.   Accounting policy for oil and gas properties

     Wainoco follows the accounting policy (commonly referred to as "full-
cost" accounting) of capitalizing costs incurred in the acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and gas reserves.  No gains or losses are
recognized upon the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties, except for
significant transactions.
     Wainoco computes the provision for depreciation, depletion and
amortization of oil and gas properties, by country, on a quarterly basis
using the composite unit-of-production method based on future gross revenue
attributable to proved reserves.

4.   Securities offering

     In July, 1993, the Company sold five million shares of common stock
through a public offering.  The net proceeds of $20.8 million were used to
pay down borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and to retire $5
million principal amount of its 10 3/4% Subordinated Debentures which were
applied to its 1993 and 1994 sinking fund requirements.

5.   Canadian drilling program

     In July 1993, the Company's Canadian oil and gas division entered into a
drilling program with a third party and received $883,000 in exchange for a
commitment to issue 175,275 shares of its common stock and distribute
Canadian tax deductions attributable to certain of the Company's exploration
and development activities in Canada.  The shares were issued March 8, 1994.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1994 compared with the same period in 1993

     The Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 1994 of
$1,475,000, or $.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $3,895,000, or $.18
per share, for the same period in 1993.
     Revenues decreased 14% as compared to the same period in 1993, primarily
the result of refined products revenues decreasing 14%.  The decrease in
refined product revenues results from the 13% decrease  in average product
sales prices, primarily reflecting a decrease in the price of crude oil.
     Oil and gas revenues decreased 5% as a result of decreased oil prices in
the United States and decreased natural gas production in the United States
and Canada.  Natural gas production declined 13% and oil production decreased
a modest 3% in 1994 in part as a result of compressor repairs at two large
fields in Canada and reduced drilling in 1992 and 1993 due to the large
capital requirements of the refinery.  The price of oil was $5.03/bbl, or
30%, lower in the 1994 three-month period as compared to the same period in
1993.  However, these decreases were offset by increases in the average price
for natural gas in Canada of 33% and in the United States of 11%.  The
average price for natural gas in Canada in Canadian dollars actually rose
42%, to C$1.93/mcf from C$1.36/mcf, but the Canadian/United States dollar
exchange rate fell from last year's first quarter average of .7934 to .7455,
resulting in the smaller 33% price increase in United States dollars.
     Refining operating costs decreased 24% in 1994 due to declines in crude
oil prices (material costs) as operating expenses excluding depreciation were
higher primarily the result of a 4% increase in product yields and costs
related to increased asphalt sales.
     Oil and gas operating costs increased 5% in 1994 primarily as a result
of higher workover costs, pipeline repairs and facility overhaul costs.
     The Refinery had good operations on a comparative basis as yields
increased 4% and operating margins increased $1.97/bbl in the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.  Crack spreads for
unleaded gasoline and diesel were significantly wider than in the 1994
period.
     Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 2% in the 1994 three-
month period as compared to the same period in 1993.  Refining DD&A increased
32% in the three-month period ended March 31, 1994 as a result of the
Refinery capital plant improvement program completed in late 1993.  Oil and
gas operations DD&A decreased 5% primarily the result of lower oil and gas
sales.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, the DD&A rate remained at 44%
in the 1994 three-month period.

OPERATING EARNINGS BY SEGMENT

     The following (in thousands) presents the operating income (loss) by
operating segment, by country for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
1993.  Operating income (loss) is income (loss) before net interest expense
and provision for income taxes and does not include unallocated net corporate
expense of $661,000 and $704,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

provided primarily by the Company's bank lines of credit of $5,300,000 and
$7,700,000 net of repayments of bank debt and production loans of $3,000,000
and $700,000, respectively.
     In July 1993, the Company raised $21,346,000, before offering expenses
of approximately $500,000, from a 5,000,000 share equity offering which was
used to make long-term debt repayments against its bank lines of credit. 
Subsequently, the Company reborrowed $5,000,000 to retire an equal principal
amount of its 10 3/4% Subordinated Debentures.
     At March 31, 1994, the Company had $25,206,000 available under its oil
and gas lines of credit and $15,000,000 under the Frontier line of credit. 
The estimated five-year maturities of long-term debt are  $2,500,000 in 1995,
1996 and 1997 and $5,000,000 in 1998 assuming that the oil and gas reserved-
based credit facilities are extended.  As of March 31, 1994, there is a
$1,000,000 current maturity on the United States credit facility.  However,
the Company is finalizing a new United States credit agreement which it
anticipates to complete in the second quarter of 1994.  The new revolving
loan would  convert to a five-year term loan in 1995 with payments commencing
in December 1996.
     Net cash used in investing activities was $8,156,000 and $10,043,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Capital
expenditures of approximately $23,200,000 are currently budgeted for 1994, of
which $6,540,000 had been accrued as of March 31, 1994.  The Company has been
engaged in a capital improvement program for the Refinery which commenced in
1992 and was completed in September 1993.  This program, among other things,
enables the Company to produce new products required under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, increases the amount of sour crude processed, increases
the amount of low sulfur diesel produced and improves operating reliability.
