THE NEW PARAHO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES
NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of December 31, 1996 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally required
by generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1996 audited report in
Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - SALE OF PROPERTY AND MINERAL RIGHTS
On December 17, 1987 Tosco Corporation's wholly owned
subsidiary, The Oil Shale Company, exercised its option, granted in
1963 by the Company's parent, to acquire from the Company its 50%
ownership interest in certain property and mineral rights for
$6,355,850. The Company received $575,000 cash and a note
receivable in the amount of $5,780,850 on closing. The note is
receivable in fifteen equal annual installments of $385,390,
commencing December 17, 1990. The principal balance bears interest
receivable quarterly at 5%. On December 18, 1996, the Company
executed an assignment of its interest in this note, to the Tell
Ertl Family Trust, in partial repayment of the line of credit
described below in Note 3.
NOTE 3 - DEBT
On May 1, 1994, the Company's line of credit from the Tell
Ertl Family Trust was increased to $5,500,000 and on June 1, 1996,
the note was amended to reflect a maturity date of July 1, 1997.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company was relieved and discharged of
all obligations to pay accrued interest on the line. In addition,
the line shall no longer accrue interest as of July 1, 1995. The
terms of the note provide that the Trust reserves the right to
approve activities and budgets of the Company during the term of
the promissory note.
On December 18, 1996, the Company executed an assignment of
its interest in the note receivable from The Oil Shale Company
(described in Note 2) in partial repayment of this line of credit.
This assignment, together with cash payments of $1,540,000 made
during the six months ended December 31, 1996, has reduced the
total amount outstanding on the line of credit to $873,999. This
remaining balance continues to carry the terms described above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company realized a decrease in working capital of $807,414
during the six months ended December 31, 1996. Funds were
primarily provided by the principal and interest payments received
from The Oil Shale Company on the note described above. In
addition the Company received a reimbursement of $758,192 from its
parent for tax savings that the parent was able to realize by
utilizing the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, in
accordance with the tax allocation policy of the parent and
Company.
On August 29, 1989, the Company signed an unsecured promissory
note with the Tell Ertl Family Trust. The principal amount of this
note was increased to a total of $5,500,000 on May 1, 1994. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company owed $873,999 to the Trust. The
funds were used to cover the cost of operating expenses and asphalt
research and development. On December 18, 1996, the Company
executed an assignment of its interest in the note receivable from
The Oil Shale Company to the Trust in partial repayment of this
note.The Company does not expect to be able to pay the balance
remaining on this note when it becomes due.
The Company will attempt to progress toward the realization of
three principal objectives: commercialization of an oil shale
derived asphalt binder, licensing the Paraho technology, and
research and development. In pursuit of these objectives, the
Company incurred costs and expenses of $135,352 in the six months
ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in these costs over the
amount incurred in the same period of the previous year, is the
result of ceasing all operations.
Possible future sources of cash include revenues from the
sales of SOMAT. Additional future sources of cash may include
revenues from the performance of engineering services, or from the
use of the Company's pilot plant retort facility. Management
presently does not expect that significant revenues from these
sources will be obtained.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended December 31, 1996
Revenues of $37,628 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996,
consisting primarily of interest on the promissory note from The
Oil Shale Company were less than half of the amount recognized in
the same quarter of the previous year which included some contract
revenues. The Company realized an extraordinary gain of $758,192
pursuant to its tax allocation with its parent.
Expenses of $45,170 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996
were approximately eighty percent less than the $274,056 for the
same quarter in the previous year, because the Company had
discontinued production, cut staff, and ceased to accrue interest.
