                            DIAMOND SHAMROCK, INC.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

1.  Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1994 and for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited, but in the opinion of
Diamond Shamrock, Inc. (the "Company"), all adjustments (consisting only of
normal accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated results of
operations, consolidated financial position, and consolidated cash flows at the
date and for the periods indicated have been included.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. 
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated by reference into the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993 (the
"1993 Form 10-K").

With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Company
as of March 31, 1994, and for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993,
Price Waterhouse has made a review (based on procedures adopted by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and not an audit, as set forth in
their separate report appearing herein.  Such  a report is not a "report" or
"part of a Registration Statement" within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of
the Securities Act of 1933 and the liability provisions of Section 11 of such
Act do not apply.

2.  Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined
primarily under the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method.  At March 31, 1994,
inventories of crude oil and refined products of the Refining and Wholesale
segment and propylene products in the Allied Businesses segment were valued at
market values (lower than LIFO cost).  Motor fuel products of the Retail segment
were recorded at their LIFO costs.

3.  Commitments and Contingencies

In connection with the 1987 Spin-off from Maxus Energy Corporation ("Maxus"),
the Company agreed to assume a share of certain liabilities of Maxus' businesses
discontinued or disposed of prior to the Spin-off date (see Note 16 of the 1993
Form 10-K).  The Company's total liability for such shared costs is limited to
$85.0 million.  Payments with respect to the shared costs are made by Maxus and
the Company is obligated to reimburse Maxus for the Company's share promptly
after receipt of Maxus' invoice accompanied by appropriate supporting data. 
Inasmuch as the Company has already reimbursed Maxus for more than $37.5
million, the Company's share of remaining shared costs is one-third of the
amounts paid by Maxus.  Although some expenditures are still subject to audit,
the Company has reimbursed Maxus for a total of $55.9 million as of March 31,
1994, including $2.6 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 1994
(see Note 3 of the 1993 Form 10-K for a discussion of the change in the method
of accounting for the liability).

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company will also reimburse Maxus
for one-third of all payments for the cost of certain medical and life insurance
benefits for eligible retired employees made by Maxus after the Spin-off date
with respect to persons who retired on or before the Spin-off date (see Note 16
of the 1993 Form 10-K).  The actuarial cost of these expected payments under the
Distribution Agreement is included in the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit
Obligation (see Note 3 of the 1993 Form 10-K).



                          REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Company
as of March 31, 1994 and the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, Price
Waterhouse reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for a review of such information.  However, their
separate report dated May 12, 1994 appearing below, states that they did not
audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited consolidated
financial information.  Price Waterhouse has not carried out any significant or
additional audit tests beyond those which would have been necessary if their
report had not been included.  Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their
report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature
of the review procedures applied.  Price Waterhouse is not subject to the
liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their
report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because that report
is not a "report" or "part of a Registration Statement" prepared or certified by
Price Waterhouse within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.





                   REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
 of Diamond Shamrock, Inc.

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information included in the
Report on Form 10-Q of Diamond Shamrock, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March
31, 1994 and for the quarter then ended.  This financial information is the
responsibility of the management of Diamond Shamrock, Inc.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein), and in our report dated February 25, 1994, which
included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's changes in accounting
for its long-term shared cost liability, income taxes and post-retirement
benefits other than pensions, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1993,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

The following are the Company's sales and operating revenues and operating
profit for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.  Business segment
operating profit is sales and operating revenues less applicable segment
operating expense.  In determining the operating profit of the three business
segments, neither interest expense nor administrative expenses are included.

Consolidated Results First Quarter 1994 vs 1993

Sales and operating revenues of $583.8 million for the first quarter of 1994
were 6.0% lower than in the same period of 1993, primarily due to a 20.9% and a
19.0% decrease in natural gas liquids sales volumes and prices, respectively,
reflecting the cancellation of the Company's contract to process natural gas for
Maxus during the second quarter of 1993.  Also contributing to the decrease in
sales and operating revenues was a 12.9% decrease in retail gasoline sales
prices and a 16.2% decrease in refined product prices.

During the first quarter of 1994, the Company had net income of $12.2 million
compared to net income of $5.0 million (before cumulative effect of accounting
changes) in the 1993 first quarter.  The Company's first quarter 1994 results
were positively impacted by higher refinery margins, particularly at the end of
the quarter, reflecting the full benefit of the Three Rivers refinery expansion
project.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined
primarily under the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method.  At March 31, 1994,
inventories of crude oil and refined products of the Refining and Wholesale
segment and propylene products in the Allied Businesses segment were valued at
market values (lower than LIFO cost). Motor fuel product inventories of the
Retail segment were recorded at their LIFO costs.

Estimating the financial impact of changes in the valuation of refinery
inventories due to such inventories being valued at market is difficult because
of the number of variables that must be considered.  For operating purposes,
management attempts to estimate the impact of changes in valuation of refinery
inventories on net income. The estimated after tax change in inventory values
was a negative $5.0 million and a negative $1.1 million in the first quarters of
1994 and 1993, respectively. 

Segment Results First Quarter 1994 vs First Quarter 1993

During the first quarter of 1994 the Refining and Wholesale segment had sales
and operating revenues of $304.0 million compared to $310.9 million during the
first quarter of 1993.  The decrease in sales and operating revenues was
primarily due to a 16.2% decrease in refined product sales prices, partial
offset by a 13.5% increase in refined product sales volumes.  Operating profit
in the first quarter of 1994 increased $19.1 million over the first quarter of
1993, primarily due to a 49.5% increase in refinery margins over the same period
a year ago.  Refinery margins continued to improve from the fourth quarter of
1993, reflecting the full benefit of the Three Rivers refinery expansion
project.

The Retail segment in the first quarter of 1994 reflected a 5.3% decrease in
sales and operating revenues.  Such decrease was primarily due to a 12.9%
decrease in retail gasoline prices.  Operating profit in the first quarter of
1994 was $8.2 million compared to $11.2 million in the first quarter of 1993. 
The decrease was primarily due to a 5.2% decrease in retail gasoline margins,
partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in gross profit from lottery sales.

During the first quarter of 1994, the Allied Businesses segment reflected a
decrease in sales and operating revenues of 21.3%, primarily due to a 20.9% and
a 19.0% decrease in natural gas liquids sales volumes and prices, respectively,
reflecting the cancellation of the Company's contract to process natural gas
from Maxus during the second quarter of 1993.  Operating profits were $4.4
million for the first quarter of 1994 compared to $5.3 million in the first
quarter of 1993.  Operating profits decreased by 15.7%, primarily due to a
decrease of $1.7 million and $1.0 million in natural gas liquids marketing and
propane/propylene splitter operating profit, respectively.

U.S. demand for gasoline in the first quarter of this year was 3.7% higher than
in the first quarter of 1993.  Industry refinery utilization hit a low of 85.9%
during the quarter due to seasonal scheduled refinery maintenance and ended the
quarter at 88%.  Increased demand combined with low refinery utilization rates
and low gasoline inventories contributed to strong first quarter refining
margins.  Refining margins for the quarter also received the full benefit of the
Three Rivers refinery expansion project.  The refining industry is currently
experiencing a utilization rate which is high by historical standards, and
gasoline inventories are lower than at the same time last year as the driving
season approaches.  Both of these factors should have a positive impact on
second quarter results.

Longer term, although demand for refined products is expected to grow only
modestly as fuel efficiency improves and alternative fuels are introduced,
industry refining capacity, particularly for the production of gasoline, is
expected to remain constrained as regulatory restrictions negatively impact the
industry's ability to supply products from existing facilities, force some
additional facilities to shut down, and limit the addition of any significant
new capacity.  Management continues to believe that the Company is well-
positioned to benefit from these conditions because of its efficient and
strategically located refining and distribution system and its marketing
efforts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow and Working Capital

For the three months ended March 31, 1994, cash provided by operations was $70.4
million, compared with $19.7 million in the same period of 1993.  Decreased
working capital positively impacted cash provided by operations during the first
quarter of 1994.

Working capital at March 31, 1994 was down $27.7 million from December 31, 1993,
and consisted of current assets of $352.3 million and current liabilities of
$244.2 million, or a current ratio of 1.4.  At December 31, 1993, current assets
were $356.2 million and current liabilities were $220.4 million, or a current
ratio of 1.6.  The decrease in working capital in the first quarter of 1994 was
primarily due to a 31.7% increase in accrued liabilities.

Capital Expenditures

The Company's capital and investment expenditures estimate for 1994 has been
increased to approximately $165.0 million from an earlier estimate of $130.0
million. Such increases are primarily attributable to the recently announced
crude oil storage terminal at Corpus Christi, Texas and a 70-mile pipeline to
connect the terminal to the Company's Three Rivers refinery.  Also included in
the increases are a tertiary amyl methol ether (TAME) unit at the McKee Refinery
scheduled for completion in 1995 which will provide additional oxygenates for
producing reformulated gasolines and the acquisition of an increased
participation in an exploration and production joint venture in Bolivia.  The
1994 capital expenditures include approximately $88.0 million for the recently
completed refined products pipeline from the McKee refinery to Colorado Springs,
and to complete projects currently underway, namely the Colorado Springs to
Denver products pipeline and a 400-mile pipeline to El Paso from McKee.  These
economic projects improve terminal and distribution systems, comply with
environmental regulations, and pursue new ventures in related businesses.  The
Company's capital and investment expenditures during 1993 were $131.8 million. 
The Company's 1994 capital expenditures were $33.2 million during the first
three months of the year, compared with $33.7 million for the same period of
1993.

The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures, as well as expenditures
for debt service, lease obligations, working capital, and dividend requirements
might at times exceed cash generated by operations.  To the extent that the
Company's requirements exceed cash generated by operations, the Company
anticipates that it may access its commercial paper and bank money market
facilities or issue medium to long-term notes.  The Company may also consider
other alternatives depending upon various factors, including changes in its
capital requirements, results of operations, and developments in the capital
markets.

The Company continued to enhance its retail marketing business with the opening
of 4 new outlets and the closing of 3 marginal units through March 31, 1994. 
The new outlets were leased by the Company under a long-term lease arrangement. 
The Company has leased approximately $147.4 million in retail outlets and
related equipment under these arrangements.  During March, the Company arranged
to expand the lease by $25.0 million, increasing the remaining availability to
$42.6 million.  This expansion became effective on April 23, 1994.  This
arrangement permits the Company to continue to expand its development and
acquisition of retail outlets on a competitive basis.  The Company presently
anticipates constructing or acquiring approximately 25 to 35 additional outlets
during 1994.

Regulatory Matters

It is expected that rules and regulations implementing the federal, state, and
local laws relating to health and environmental quality will continue to affect
the operations of the Company.  The Company cannot predict what health or
environmental legislation, rules or regulations will be enacted in the future or
how existing or future laws, rules or regulations will be administered or
enforced with respect to products or activities of the Company.  However,
compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more expansive
interpretation of existing laws and their more vigorous enforcement by the
regulatory agencies could have an adverse effect on the operations of the
Company and could require substantial additional expenditures by the Company,
such as for the installation and operation of pollution control systems and
equipment.
