WAINOCO OIL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1994
(Unaudited)
1. 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.
2. 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.
Capitalized oil and gas property costs can not exceed the limitation
on capitalized costs provided by the rules of the SEC, and when capitalized
costs exceed the limit, an additional provision for depreciation, depletion
and amortization may be required. The limitation is based, after
consideration of income tax effects, on: (1) the present value of future
net income from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves
discounted at 10%; (2) the cost of significant investments in unproved and
unevaluated properties excluded from the costs being amortized; and (3) the
lower of cost or estimated fair market value of unproved properties
included in the costs being amortized.
As of September 30, 1994, price declines for oil and gas resulted in
U.S. oil and gas property costs exceeding the limitation. However,
pursuant to the rules of the SEC, subsequent higher pricing was used to
reevaluate proved oil and gas reserves, and an additional provision for
depreciation, depletion and amortization was not necessary.
3. 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 and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and the three months ended September 30, 1993. The
effect of dilution for the fully diluted computations were immaterial. No
effect was given for the addition of dilutive stock options for the nine
months ended September 30, 1993 as a loss was incurred. The primary and
fully diluted average shares outstanding for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 were 27,356,514 and 26,461,583, respectively,
and for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 were 27,363,864
and 23,475,220, respectively.
4. 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.

============ ============
6. Long-term debt
During the second quarter 1994, Wainoco renegotiated and extended its
two oil and gas long-term credit facilities. The interest rates for both
facilities are based, at the Company's option, on 1) the bank's prime rate
plus from one-half to three-quarters percent, or 2) LIBOR plus from one
and one-half percent to one and three-quarters percent. The loan covenants
for both facilities include net worth and minimum cash flow coverage of
interest requirements.
Commitments under the Company's United States oil and gas credit
facility, secured by substantially all of its United States oil and gas
properties, were reduced to $18 million from $22 million as of June 30,
1994 and the revolving period was extended from December 31, 1994 to
December 31, 1995 with payments commencing on March 31, 1996.
Commitments under the Company's Canadian oil and gas credit facility,
secured by substantially all of its Canadian oil and gas properties, were
reduced to Canadian $34 million from Canadian $37.5 million as of June 30,
1994, and the revolving period was extended to December 31, 1995, with
payments commencing on March 31, 1996.
In a recent amendment to Frontier's working capital facility, the
revolving period has been extended from April 2, 1995 to April 2, 1996.
Additionally, the commitment fee for the facility was decreased from one-
half of 1% to .425 of 1%. The prime rate margin was narrowed from one and
three-quarters percent to one and one-quarter percent and the reserve-
adjusted LIBOR margin was reduced from three percent to two and one-quarter
percent.
7. 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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared with the same period in 1993
The Company had net income for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 of $6,088,000, or $.22 per share, compared to a net loss of
$5,394,000, or $.23 per share, for the same period in 1993.
Revenues decreased 3% as compared to the same period in 1993,
primarily the result of refined products revenues decreasing 3%. The
decrease in refined products revenues resulted from the decrease in average
product sales prices, primarily reflecting a lower average price level.
Oil and gas revenues increased 3% as a result of increased natural gas
prices in the United States and Canada, offset somewhat by 14% lower oil
prices, lower oil sales volumes in the U.S. and lower natural gas sales
volumes in Canada. The average price for natural gas increased 25% in
Canada and 1% in the United States. The average price for Canadian natural
gas in Canadian dollars actually rose 34%, to C$1.87/mcf from C$1.40/mcf,
but the Canadian/United States dollar exchange rate fell from last year's
first nine months average of .7825 to .7250, resulting in the smaller price
increase when translated into United States dollars.
Natural gas production decreased 3% during the first nine months.
During the first quarter of 1994, natural gas production was 13% lower than
in the first quarter of 1993 as a result of compressor repairs at two large
fields in Canada and the impact of reduced drilling in 1992 and 1993 due to
the large capital requirements at the Refinery. This shortfall was reduced
during the second and third quarters as production problems decreased and
successful exploration wells in the United States and Canada began
production.
Refining operating costs decreased 10% in 1994 due to a decrease in
the price of feedstocks, primarily crude oil.
The Refinery had improved operations on a comparative basis.
Manufactured product yields increased 5% and a higher conversion rate was
achieved (more gasoline and distillates were produced) in response to a
change in the composition of crude oil runs and newly installed advanced
controls on the crude unit. Operating margins increased from $.83/bbl
during the first nine months of 1993 to $2.14/bbl in the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 17% in the 1994
nine-month period as compared to the same period in 1993. The increase
results from refining DD&A increasing 28% in the period as a result of the
Refinery capital plant improvement program completed in late 1993 and oil
and gas DD&A increasing 17% as a result of reduced period end oil prices
which decreased future gross revenues, thus increasing DD&A under the unit-
of-production method of computing the provision based on future gross
revenues. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, the DD&A rate increased to
47% in the 1994 nine-month period from 41% in the same period in 1993.
The benefit for income taxes increased $344,000 in the first nine
months of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993, primarily
attributable to a $414,000 increase in the Alberta Royalty Tax Credit
(ARTC) earned on the increased Canadian natural gas revenues.
Three months ended September 30, 1994 compared with the same period in 1993
The Company had net income for the three months ended September 30,
1994 of $2,612,000, or $.10 per share, compared to $134,000, or $.01 per
share, for the same period in 1993.
On August 10, 1994, a fire at the Refinery's crude unit significantly
curtailed crude oil charge for approximately two weeks.
Revenues for the 1994 three-month period increased 5% over the same
period in 1993. Refined product revenues increased 4% in 1994 due
primarily to a 15% increase in average product sales prices, primarily
reflecting an increase in the price of crude oil, offset by reduced
purchases of finished products for resale. Oil and gas revenues increased
5%, principally the result of a 14% increase in natural gas prices and a 4%
increase in oil prices. Oil production decreased 13% in 1994 as a result
of reservoir declines and the sale of producing properties. The natural
gas price increase in the third quarter compared to the prior year's third
quarter was primarily the result of the Canadian gas price rising 24%, to
C$1.76/mcf from C$1.42/mcf. However, the Canadian/United States dollar
exchange rate fell from last year's third quarter average of .7672 to
.7248, resulting in a smaller 17% price increase when translated into
United States dollars.
Refining operating costs decreased marginally in 1994. The Refinery
purchased more lower price sour crude and reduced its purchases of higher
cost finished products during 1994. However, this was partially offset by
marginally higher raw material volumes and an overall increase in the price
of both sweet and sour crude. Additionally, as a result of the crude unit
fire, approximately $1 million of additional operating expenses, after
consideration of insurance recovery, were incurred as a result of the crude
unit fire.
The Refinery had improved operations on a comparative basis as yields
increased 4% even with the negative impact of the crude unit fire and
associated down time. Also, a change in the composition of crude runs and
the benefits of the newly installed advanced controls on the crude unit
produced higher yields of gasoline, which sold at a higher margin in the
1994 third quarter. As a result, operating margins increased $1.11/bbl in
the quarter ended September 30, 1994, as compared to the same period in
1993.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 34% in the 1994
three-month period as compared to the same period in 1993. Refining DD&A
increased 27% in the three-month period ended September 30, 1994 as a
result of the Refinery capital improvement program completed in late 1993,
and oil and gas operations DD&A increased 41%, primarily the result of the
fall in natural gas prices at September 30, 1994, which decreased future
gross revenues, thus increasing DD&A under the unit-of-production method of
computing the provision based on future gross revenues. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, the DD&A rate increased to 51% in the 1994 three-month
period from 38% in the same period in 1993.
The benefit for income taxes increased $112,000 in the three-months
ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993, primarily
attributable to an $146,000 increase in the ARTC earned on the increased
Canadian natural gas revenues.
OPERATING EARNINGS BY SEGMENT
The following (in thousands) presents the operating income (loss) by
operating segment, by country for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 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 $1,823,000 and $2,112,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
$511,000 and $670,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18,327,000 and
$10,092,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Cash applied to financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, was used primarily to pay down the Company's bank
lines of credit $200,000 net of borrowings of $10,364,000. For the same
period in 1993, cash from financing activities was provided by an equity
offering in July. The net proceeds of approximately $20,800,000 were used
to pay down the Company's bank lines of credit and retire $5,000,000 of its
10 3/4% Subordinated Debentures due 1993. The Company subsequently had
additional borrowings from its bank credit facilities in conjunction with
additional cash requirements for the Refinery capital improvement program.
At September 30, 1994, the Company had $24,927,000 available under its
oil and gas lines of credit and $14,900,000 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.
Net cash used in investing activities was $19,396,000 and $33,734,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
lower capital spending is primarily the result of reduced capital
expenditures at the Refinery. Capital expenditures of approximately
$26,300,000 ($9,200,000 refining and $17,100,000 oil and gas) are currently
budgeted for 1994, of which $18,900,000 had been incurred as of September
30, 1994. The Company was 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 diesel produced, all of
which can be low sulfur, and improves operating reliability.
U.S. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On September 15, 1994, the Company announced its intent to cease all
exploration in the United States and to sell its U.S. oil and gas assets.
All future North American exploration and development activities will be
focused in Canada, where the vast majority of the Company's natural gas
reserves are found and where the Company's history of low-cost reserve
additions has led to a favorable cost structure and consistent earnings.
The net proceeds of the asset sale will be used to pay down debt.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings -
None, which in the opinion of management would have a material
impact on the registrant.
Matters Concerning Protection of the Environment -
Toxic Substances Control Act Matter - On June 27, 1994, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Region VIII served an administrative
Complaint and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing on Frontier Refining Inc.
alleging violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), and
proposing a penalty of $150,000. The Complaint alleges that, pursuant to
Section 8(a) of TSCA, Frontier filed required updates to the TSCA Chemical
Inventory after the regulatory filing deadline. The EPA has subsequently
offered to reduce the penalty to $90,000, further consider Frontier's
proposal to group intermediates to further reduce the proposed penalty
amount and consider supplemental environmental projects that may be
undertaken at the refinery to partially offset the remaining monetary
penalty.
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Matters - On May
18, 1994, the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued to
Frontier a Notice of Violation, which alleged multiple violations of the
Clean Water Act due to exceedances of the effluent limitations in
Frontier's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES")
permit. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ"), which has
federal delegation of the NPDES permitting program in Wyoming, is enforcing
action for these alleged violations. Although Frontier contests liability,
a tentative agreement has been reached with the State of Wyoming for
$28,125.
