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 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, 1996. Wainoco conducts its refining operations in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. The Company's Cheyenne, Wyoming Refinery purchases the crude oil to be refined and markets the refined petroleum products produced, including various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt and petroleum coke. As discussed in Note 4, on June 16, 1997, Wainoco completed the sale of all its Canadian oil and gas properties. Operating results for Wainoco's oil and gas exploration and production segment have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and all previously reported results have been restated to this presentation. 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 nine months and three months ended September 30, 1997. The effect of dilution for the fully diluted computation was immaterial. No effect was given for the addition of dilutive stock options for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1996 as losses were incurred. The primary and fully diluted average shares outstanding for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1997 were 27,597,156 and 28,117,776, and in 1996 were 27,256,841 and 27,258,502, respectively. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The provisions of the statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. If the provisions of FAS No. 128 had been adopted in 1997 and 1996, basic and diluted earnings per share would not have been materially different from primary and fully diluted earnings per share, respectively, as calculated in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. 2.

Refining credit facility The Frontier revolving credit facility was amended in 1997 to extend the maturity from April 2, 1998 to April 2, 1999. No changes to the financial terms of the credit facility were made. 4. Sale of Canadian oil and gas operations On June 16, 1997, Wainoco completed the sale of all its Canadian oil and gas properties to Numac Energy Inc. 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 leasehold 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 were approximately C$126.7 million (US$91.3 million) as of June 16, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, $7.7 million of cash deposits are restricted until all Canadian tax reporting is completed, which is expected to be within three months. A net gain of $23.3 million was realized on the transaction. 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 cumulative translation adjustment as of May 5, 1997 (the measurement date of the sale) of $9.9 million was realized against income as a result of the sale. In prior periods, Wainoco had recognized the currency translation impact of its Canadian operations as a direct reduction to shareholders' equity. Consequently, the recognition of the cumulative translation adjustment in the accompanying statements of operations has no affect on shareholders' equity. A net operating loss of $54,000 from Canadian operations from the measurement date until June 16, 1997 was included in the gain calculation. As of September 30, 1997, the assets and liabilities of the Canadian operations retained by Wainoco consist of the following (in thousands): Receivables $346 Other Assets 141 Payables 54 5. Extraordinary loss On July 21, 1997, the Company initiated a tender offer for $91.4 million of its 12% Senior Notes at a price of par as required by the Senior Note Indenture after a material sale of assets. The par tender offer expired on August 20, 1997 with $2.175 million being acquired by the Company. On August 21, 1997, the Company called $48 million of its 12% Senior Notes (including $2.493 million held by the Company) at a price of 103.43% and redeemed them on September 23, 1997. In addition, the Company called all $7.5 million of 10-3/4% Subordinated Debentures and redeemed them on October 1, 1997. Based on the redemptions, the Company has recognized a third quarter extraordinary loss of $2,622,000 ($.09 per share) due to the redemption premium of 103.43% on the 12% Senior Notes and reduction in debt issuance costs. The redemptions and retirement of these debts were funded with proceeds from the sale of the Canadian oil and gas operations as disclosed in Note 4. - 6 - ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996 The Company had net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $18,845,000, or $.68 per share, compared to a loss of $4,673,000 or $.17 per share for the same period in 1996. The 1997 results include a $23.3 million gain on the sale of the Canadian oil and gas operations which closed on June 16, 1997, the $9.9 million reduction to income in recognition of the cumulative translation adjustment and a $2.6 million extraordinary loss on retirement of debt. Refer to Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements for further information on the sale and extraordinary loss. Operating results for Wainoco's oil and gas exploration and production segment have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and all previously reported results have been restated to this presentation. Wainoco's primary continuing operation is its Frontier refining operation in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Operating income increased $12,116,000 in 1997 versus 1996 due to an increase in the refined product spread, an increase in other income and a decrease in refining operating costs. The refined product spread was $5.72 per bbl compared to $4.65 per bbl in 1996. The 1997 refined product spread increased due to better light product margins, primarily gasoline, and an improved light/heavy crude spread despite the first quarter 1997 inventory losses of approximately $4.0 million from a decline in crude prices of more than $6 per bbl. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis or market. Refined product revenues increased $10.3 million or 4%. The increase in refined product revenues resulted from a $1.15 per bbl increase in average gasoline sales prices offset by a $.66/bbl decrease in average distillate sales prices. Refined product sales volumes also increased 4% in 1997 over 1996 levels. Yields of gasoline and distillate in 1997 were nearly the same as for the same period in 1996. Other income increased $739,000 to $1,654,000 in 1997 versus 1996 due to foreign currency transaction gains of $522,000 related to the Canadian sales proceeds and higher processing fees. Refining operating costs decreased $2.3 million or less than 1% from 1996 levels due to a decrease in material costs partially offset by a slight increase in operating costs. Material costs per bbl decreased 5% or $.98 per bbl in 1997 due to lower oil prices in 1997. The light/heavy spread increased 36% to average $3.45 per bbl in the nine months of 1997 as Frontier contracted approximately 30,000 bpd of Wyoming and Canadian sour crude oil for much of 1997 at a light/heavy crude spread substantially better than in 1996. Refining operating expense per bbl increased $.03 per bbl to $3.16 per bbl in 1997 due to higher maintenance costs compared to 1996 operating expenses which were reduced by a $1.3 million settlement of repair costs related to a 1995 pipeline gas explosion. Selling and general expenses increased $1,180,000 million or 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflecting increases in salaries and benefits. The nine months ended September 30, 1996 included $240,000 of salary and salary-related expenses of certain employees who were not retained subsequent to March 31, 1996 in connection with the disposition of United States oil and gas operations in late 1995 and corporate reorganization in early 1996. Depreciation increased $68,000 or 1% in the 1997 nine-month period as compared to the same period in 1996, attributable to increases in capital investment. The interest expense decrease of $939,000 or 7% in 1997 was attributable to interest income earned on the Canadian sale proceeds. Average debt for the nine months decreased from $154 million in 1996 to $153 million in 1997. As described in Note 5, the Company retired $50.175 million of its 12% Senior Notes near the end of the third quarter of 1997 and $7.5 million of its 10-3/4% Subordinated Debentures on October 1, 1997. Income from discontinued oil and gas operations includes Canadian oil and gas operations through May 5, 1997 and both Canadian and United States oil and gas operations for 1996. Income from discontinued operations declined $534,000 to $1,721,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 1996, consisting of a $453,000 increase in Canadian oil and gas income and a $987,000 decrease in United States oil and gas income. The increase in Canadian oil and gas income is due to higher oil and gas prices offset by declining volumes despite the nearly five months in 1997 without income recognition. The 1996 discontinued earnings included $987,000 associated with the 1995 disposition of United States oil and gas operations, due to a reduction of certain accruals. - 7 - Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996 The Company had net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 of $9,184,000, or $.33 per share, compared to loss of $968,000, or $.04 per share, for the same period in 1996. The 1997 results include a $2.6 million extraordinary loss on retirement of debt. Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements for further information on the extraordinary loss. Operating results for Wainoco's oil and gas exploration and production segment have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations and all previous reported results have been restated to this presentation. Wainoco's primary continuing operation is its Frontier refining operation in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Operating income increased $11,565,000 to $14,743,000 in 1997 versus 1996 due to a combination of very good market conditions, lower operating costs and good refinery operations. The refined product spread increased to $7.36 per bbl in 1997 from $4.60 per bbl in 1996. The improved refined product spread was due to better gasoline margins caused by strong demand growth and lower gasoline inventory levels in Frontier's marketing area, the increased light/heavy spread for crude oil and better asphalt and other by-product margins resulting from lower stable crude oil prices. Refined product revenues increased $1 million or about 1% due to a 4% increase in refined product sales volumes in 1997 partially offset by the average refined product sales prices decrease of $.87 per bbl. Yields of gasoline and asphalt and other by-products each increased 4% and 5%, respectively, from 1996 levels while distillate yields decreased 2%. The crude charge rate increased 1%, while the percentage of heavy crude usage increased to 91% of total crude oil charge in 1997 versus 87% in 1996. Other income increased $54,000 to $424,000 in 1997 versus 1996 due to higher processing fees and the recognition of redemption premium on the 12% Senior Notes held by Wainoco. Refining operating costs decreased $11,582,000 or 12% over 1996 levels primarily as a result of a decrease in material costs. Material costs per bbl decreased 17% or $3.63 per bbl in 1997 due to lower oil prices. The light/heavy spread increased 41% to average $3.54 per bbl in 1997, as Frontier has contracted approximately 30,000 bpd of Wyoming and Canadian sour crude oil for much of 1997 at a light/heavy spread substantially better than in 1996. Refining operating expense decreased $.15 per bbl to $2.86 per bbl in 1997 due to reduced energy costs and higher sales volumes. The strike by approximately 150 union employees which commenced May 8, 1996 and settled July 29, 1996 did not adversely impact 1996 operating costs. Selling and general expenses increased $1,081,000 to $2,504,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, reflecting increases in salary and benefits and other general expenses. The interest expense decrease of $1,443,000 or 33% was attributable to interest income earned on the Canadian sale proceeds. Average debt for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased from $158 million in 1996 to $141 million in 1997. As described in Note 5, the Company retired $50.175 million of its 12% Senior Notes near the end of the third quarter of 1997 and $7.5 million of its 10-3/4% Subordinated Debentures on October 1, 1997. Income from discontinued oil and gas operations of $294,000 for the third quarter 1996 includes both Canadian and United States. The 1996 discontinued earnings included $146,000 associated with the 1995 disposition of United States oil and gas operations due to a reduction of certain accruals. - 8 - REFINING OPERATING STATISTICAL INFORMATION Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Raw material input (bpd) Light crude 3,340 5,371 3,643 4,840 Heavy crude 32,800 30,983 35,301 33,596 Other feed and blend stocks 5,839 5,016 5,963 5,282 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total 41,979 41,370 44,907 43,718 Manufactured product yields (bpd) Gasoline 17,473 17,514 18,679 17,900 Distillates 13,349 13,289 12,936 13,129 Asphalt and other 10,021 8,986 11,774 11,243 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total 40,843 39,789 43,389 42,272 Total product sales (bpd) Gasoline 20,861 20,627 21,919 21,613 Distillates 12,751 12,659 13,214 13,091 Asphalt and other 8,470 7,305 11,072 9,544 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total 42,082 40,591 46,205 44,248 Operating margin information (per sales bbl) Average sales price $ 25.45 $ 25.36 $ 25.34 $ 26.21 Material costs (under FIFO inventory accounting) 19.73 20.71 17.98 21.61 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Product spread 5.72 4.65 7.36 4.60 Operating expenses excluding depreciation 3.16 3.13 2.86 3.01 Depreciation .58 .59 .53 .54 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Operating margin $ 1.98 $ .93 $ 3.97 $ 1.05 Manufactured product margin before depreciation (per bbl) $ 2.56 $ 1.50 $ 4.50 $ 1.59 Purchase product margin (per purchased product bbl) $ 3.36 $ 2.03 $ 4.20 $ 2.03 Light/heavy crude spread (per bbl) $ 3.45 $ 2.54 $ 3.54 $ 2.51 Average sales price (per sales bbl) Gasoline $ 29.29 $ 28.14 $ 30.12 $ 29.37 Distillates 27.17 27.83 25.06 28.53 Asphalts and other 13.39 13.20 16.19 15.86 - 9 - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On June 16, 1997, Wainoco completed the sale of its Canadian oil and gas properties. Net proceeds after purchase price adjustments, transaction expenses and severance costs were approximately C$126.7 million (US$91.3 million). With proceeds from the sale, the Company spent $49.3 million on the redemption of 12% Senior Notes, including redemption premium, during the third quarter of 1997, and on October 1, 1997, redeemed all $7.5 million of 10-3/4% Subordinated Debentures at par. Further debt repayments in 1997 will depend upon the Company's market outlook and investment opportunities available to Wainoco. During the first nine months of 1997, $6,800,000 of cash flows were generated by operating activities. In 1996, $5,955,000 of cash flows were used in operating activities primarily for a Refinery inventory increase of $8,998,000. The primary source of cash in 1996 was net borrowings of $11,200,000 under the Frontier line of credit. At September 30, 1997, the Company had $20,000,000 available under the Frontier line of credit. The Company had working capital of $44,352,000 at September 30, 1997, including the portion of the Canadian sales proceeds still remaining after debt retirement, compared with $8,211,000 at September 30, 1996. Additions to property and equipment in the first nine months decreased $3,886,000 from the first nine months in 1996 attributable to a decrease in capital expenditures in Canada.

Capital expenditures of approximately $9 million are currently planned for 1997, of which $5.6 million had been incurred as of September 30, 1997.
