ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On June 16, 1997, Wainoco Oil Corporation and subsidiaries (Wainoco or the
Company) completed the sale of all its Canadian oil and gas properties to Numac
Energy Inc. (the Disposition).  The transaction was initiated by the Company
through a negotiated bid process in order to maximize shareholder value.   The
oil and gas assets were located in British Columbia and Alberta and included
approximately 94 billion cubic feet of natural gas, 1.7 million barrels of oil,
condensate and natural gas liquids, 121,500 net undeveloped acres and a
significant amount of seismic data.  Additionally, value was received for
certain Canadian income tax pools of the Company.

The contract purchase price of C$133.6 million was adjusted from the January 1,
1997 effective date of the sale to June 16, 1997.   Net proceeds after these
adjustments, transaction expenses and severance costs are approximately C$126.7
million (US$91.4 million) as of June 16, 1997.

Wainoco intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposition to repay $57.5
million principal amount of debt obligations of the Company.  The remaining net
proceeds will be used to fund future growth activities or repay additional debt
obligations.

ITEM 7(b)  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
of Wainoco is based on the historical financial statements of Wainoco, adjusted
to give effect to the Disposition and the intended repayment of $57.5 million
principal amount of debt obligations.  The pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually
would have occurred if the Disposition and debt repayment had been in effect on
the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.  The pro forma
condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the Wainoco's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 and Wainoco's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The
pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 assumes the Disposition and debt
repayment occurred as of March 31, 1997.  The pro forma statements of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997
assume the Disposition and debt repayment occurred as of January 1, 1996.

                        Wainoco Oil Corporation
    Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Pro Forma Adjustments:

   (a) To reflect Disposition net proceeds as of March 31, 1997.  Actual
       proceeds will vary slightly for purchase price adjustments and changes in
       the Canadian dollar conversion rate to U.S. dollars after March 31, 1997.
       Wainoco estimates Disposition net proceeds and the gain on Disposition as
       of June 16, 1997, using the June 16, 1997 currency conversion rate, will
       be approximately $91.4 million and $23.2 million, respectively.  No
       Canadian taxes are estimated to be payable due to available oil and gas
       deductions and net operating loss carryforwards.  For U.S. federal income
       taxes, available net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized to
       offset the gain;  however, alternative minimum taxes of approximately
       $800,000 are estimated to be payable. The estimated gain on the
       Disposition has not been presented in the accompanying pro forma
       statements of operations.

   (b) To reflect the intended repayment of long-term debt, principal amount of
       $57.5 million, accrued interest and redemption premium with proceeds from
       the Disposition.  It is anticipated the actual retirement of 10-3/4%
       Subordinated Debentures will occur in October 1997 and repayment of 12%
       Senior Notes will occur in August 1997 at a redemption price of 103.43%.
       The ultimate amount of debt repayment with Disposition proceeds will
       depend upon investment opportunities available to Wainoco during 1997 and
       could vary significantly.

   (c) To reflect the reduction in debt issuance costs based on the intended
       debt repayment of $57.5 million from Disposition proceeds.

   (d) To reflect the reduction of interest expense for the intended principal
       repayment of $57.5 million of long term debt. Based on the principal
       repayment of $57.5 million, the Company will recognize an extraordinary
       loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $2.7 million due to the
       redemption premium of 103.43% on the 12% Senior Notes and reduction in
       debt issuance costs.  The extraordinary loss has not been presented in
       the accompanying pro forma statements of operations.
