These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is principally a producer of motor oil and lubricants for passenger cars, fleets, commercial and industrial applications. The Company also is a manufacturer and marketer of products and services in the automotive aftermarket and offers a full range of high-quality automotive chemical treatment, appearance, accessory and air freshener products. The Company's products are sold primarily to distributors and national and regional retailers. a. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quaker State Corporation and all of its subsidiaries more than 50% owned. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. b. CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. c. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis for manufactured products. For other inventories, such as purchased finished lubricating oils and purchased automotive aftermarket products, cost is determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. d. DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND VALUATION OF INTANGIBLES: Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis. Goodwill, brands and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. When factors indicate an intangible asset may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates the related undiscounted future cash flows compared to the carrying value of the intangible asset to determine if an impairment exists. The following table summarizes the years over which significant assets are generally depreciated or amortized: Fast lube, office and other equipment 3 to 10 years Software and other intangible assets 3 to 10 years Fast lube rental properties and improvements 5 to 20 years Buildings and improvements 20 to 40 years Goodwill and brands 20 to 40 years e. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Income statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Exchange gains or losses are not material. f. ADVERTISING COSTS: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $129.3 million, $122.2 million, and $91.8 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. g. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES: Costs in connection with compliance and monitoring of compliance with existing environmental regulations as they relate to ongoing operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Costs associated with remediation and reclamation efforts resulting from prior operations are recorded no later than at the completion of an environmental site assessment. A liability is recorded earlier if it is probable that a liability exists and a cost can be reasonably estimated. All cleanup estimates are based on current technology and are on an undiscounted basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. h. INCOME TAXES AND INVESTMENT CREDIT: The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company accounts for investment credit on the deferral method which recognizes the investment credit as a reduction of the provision for income taxes over the life of the related assets. i. EARNINGS PER SHARE: As of December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This 6 statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The adoption of the SFAS No. 128 did not have a material impact on the Company's earnings per share. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of capital stock outstanding and capital stock equivalents. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares of capital stock outstanding is due to outstanding capital stock options. 2. ACQUISITIONS: In 1997, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of Auto-Shade, L.L.C. and Auto-Shade (Overseas) L.L.C. ("Axius") for $51.3 million in cash. The acquisition resulted in $40.5 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded reserves of $2.4 million primarily related to severance and facility exit costs. In addition, the Company acquired substantially all the stock of Rain-X Corporation ("Rain-X") for $23.2 million in cash, the issuance of 1,104,203 shares of capital stock with a market value of $16.8 million, and the payment of $1.8 million to satisfy certain indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $40.1 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. Additional consideration may be payable by the Company depending upon the sales performance of Rain-X products during the next 15 years. The Company also made various other acquisitions in 1997 for $33.5 million in cash, 460,000 shares of capital stock with a market value of $6.7 million and a note payable for $10.3 million. These acquisitions resulted in $48.6 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. In 1996, the Company acquired all the stock of Blue Coral, Inc. ("Blue Coral") for $43.5 million in cash, the issuance of 2,956,328 shares of capital stock with a market value of $43.5 million, and the payment of $27.9 million to satisfy certain Blue Coral indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $84.7 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. In 1996, the Company sold one of the Blue Coral businesses for $7.2 million in cash. Also in 1996, the Company acquired all the stock of Medo Industries, Inc. and its affiliated companies ("Medo") for $142.3 million in cash and the payment of $17.7 million to satisfy certain Medo indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $145.9 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. In 1995, the Company acquired all the stock of Slick 50, Inc. ("Slick 50") for $22.6 million in cash, the issuance of 1,260,403 shares of capital stock with a market value of $19.5 million, and the payment of $11 million to satisfy certain Slick 50 indebtedness. In December 1996, under performance consideration terms of the Merger Agreement, additional consideration of 354,374 shares of capital stock with a market value of $6 million was paid to the former Slick 50 stockholders. The total goodwill, brands and other intangible assets resulting from the Slick 50 acquisition was $82.1 million. The following summary is prepared on a pro forma basis as though Axius, Rain-X, Blue Coral and Medo had been acquired as of January 1, 1996 and Truck-Lite Co., Inc. ("Truck-Lite") was sold as of January 1, 1996 (see Note 5) after including the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets, interest expense and related tax effects.

In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combining the operations. 3. RESTRUCTURING, SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES: Restructuring, systems integration and other special charges consists of: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring and integration: Severance and other employee related costs $10,097 $ 1,753 $11,556 Facility closure and other costs 9,604 -- 11,044 Systems integration 5,579 -- -- Refinery write-down and related exit costs 5,587 15,380 -- Environmental charges 8,612 -- -- Pension obligations 4,437 -- -- Asset write-downs and other 4,495 2,427 -- Gain on settlement of long-term receivable -- (5,053) -- Settlement of class action lawsuit -- -- 4,400 ------- ------- ------- Total $48,411 $14,507 $27,000 =============================================================================== In 1997, the Company announced plans to restructure its organization, integrate recent acquisitions and manufacturing and distribution facilities and consolidate management and administrative activities. A charge of $19.7 million ($12 million after tax) was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997, which primarily related to employee severance and employee benefit reserves, the write-down of various facilities to net realizable value and other facility exit costs for certain manufacturing and distribution facilities. The restructuring includes a reduction of approximately 200 selling, operational and administrative positions at the affected units. The restructuring program is expected to be completed by 1999. In connection with the restructuring, the Company is implementing SAP information systems. The Company incurred $5.6 million ($3.4 million after tax) in 1997 in connection with the implementation of the SAP information systems. The implementation is scheduled to be completed by 1999. The Company also incurred $4.9 million of capital expenditures in 1997 relating to licenses and hardware in connection with the implementation of the SAP information systems. In 1997, the Company sold its West Virginia refinery and related inventory for $34.8 million in cash and a $5 million note receivable. The sale resulted in a charge of $5.6 million ($3.4 million after tax) primarily related to certain contractual obligations and other exit costs. In the fourth quarter, the Company conducted various environmental studies at formerly owned refineries which resulted in an $8.6 million ($5.3 million after tax) increase in the Company's environmental reserves. The Company also recognized a $4.4 million ($2.7 million after tax) charge in connection with previously unrecorded pension obligations, which were not material to any previous year, and $4.5 million ($2.8 million after tax) in connection with the write-down of certain assets to net realizable value. In 1996, the Company recorded pretax charges of $19.5 million ($12.4 million after tax) primarily related to the write-down of certain assets to net realizable value and restructuring costs. The asset write-downs related primarily to the Company's decision to sell its West Virginia refinery. Additionally, the Company settled a $19.5 million long-term receivable for $24.5 million, resulting in a pretax gain of $5 million ($3.1 million after tax). In 1995, the Company recognized pretax costs and expenses associated with the restructuring and relocation of the motor oil division and corporate headquarters of $22.6 million ($13.8 million after tax) and settled a class action lawsuit for $4.4 million ($2.7 million after tax). 8 4.

Accordingly, the operating results of Truck-Lite have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the three years ended December 31, 1997. The sale resulted in a gain on disposition of $27.5 million, net of taxes of $17.6 million.

Condensed income statements relating to Truck-Lite's operations for the ten months ended October 31, 1997, and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are presented below: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $78,977 $86,521 $90,424 Costs and expenses 71,457 79,849 80,651 ------- ------- ------- Income before income taxes 7,520 6,672 9,773 Provision for income taxes 2,950 2,600 3,800 ------- ------- ------- Income from discontinued operations $ 4,570 $ 4,072 $ 5,973 ==================================================================== Additionally in 1997, the Company recognized a charge of $2.7 million ($1.6 million after tax) relating to additional reserves associated with the Company's previously discontinued coal and exploration and production businesses. These reserves related to asset write-downs to net realizable value and environmental obligations retained by the Company. In 1995, the Company sold the assets of its Natural Gas Exploration and Production division ("E&P") for $67.7 million. The sale resulted in a gain on disposition of $12 million, net of taxes of $7.5 million. Condensed income statements relating to the E&P operations for the seven months ended July 31, 1995 are presented below: (in thousands) 1995 - ----------------------------------------------- Revenues $14,641 Costs and expenses 12,617 ------- Income before income taxes 2,024 Provision for income taxes 230 ------- Income from discontinued operations $ 1,794 =============================================== 6.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, $24.5 million and $39.3 million, respectively, of inventories were valued on the LIFO basis. Certain inventory quantities were reduced resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventory which increased net income by $2 million or $.06 per share in 1997, $650,000 or $.02 per share in 1996 and $1.3 million or $.04 per share in 1995. 10 7.

The credit agreements provide for various borrowing rate options and expire from 1998 to 2002. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings on these credit agreements as of December 31, 1997 was 6.22%. The credit agreements contain various covenants pertaining to financial ratios and interest coverage. In 1995, the Company issued $100 million of 6.625% Notes due 2005. A portion of the proceeds of these notes was used to retire $50 million of 8.73% Senior Notes due 2002. In connection with the early retirement of the notes, the Company paid a premium of $6.5 million and wrote off $300,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs. These transactions resulted in the extraordinary charge of $4.1 million, net of tax benefits of $2.7 million. The aggregate long-term debt maturing in the next five years is as follows: 1998-$11.5 million; 1999-$600,000; 2000-$160,000; 2001-$160,000; 2002-$328 million. The fair value of debt at December 31, 1997 was $441 million and for other financial instruments the fair value does not materially differ from the value reflected in the financial statements. The fair value of the instruments was based upon quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments or on a discounted basis using the rates available to the Company for instruments of similar maturity. 11. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES: Other long-term liabilities consist of: (in thousands) 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Postretirement benefits $ 99,580 $ 97,955 Environmental reserves 19,881 13,203 Discontinued coal liabilities 44,946 46,248 Other 31,839 17,635 -------- -------- Total $196,246 $175,041 ==================================================================== 12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTIES: The Company has operating leases in effect for equipment and facilities with initial terms ranging from 2 to 20 years, with renewal options generally being available. Future minimum annual rentals, net of estimated sublease rentals under operating leases of $26.2 million, during each of the next five years are: 1998-$18 million; 1999-$17.4 million; 2000-$15.7 million; 2001-$13.2 million; 2002-$12.2 million and thereafter $73.6 million. Rental expenses amounted to $28.1 million, $20.7 million, and $16.4 million for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, net of sublease rentals of $4 million, $3.4 million, and $3.3 million for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The Company leases certain real property from a company that is owned, in part, by a director and employee of the Company. The Company paid $439,000, $465,000, and $1.5 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, for rental of the property. The Company regularly purchases lubricant stocks from a company, the president of which is a director of the Company. The Company purchased $709,000, $3.3 million, and $1.6 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively for lubricant stocks. 12 The Company retained an advertising firm of which a director of the Company was the vice chairman. The Company paid $14.9 million and $1.2 million in 1997 and 1996 for advertising and services. In 1996, the Company entered into a long-term lube base stock supply agreement with a major oil company. This agreement requires the Company to purchase a certain volume of lube base stock based on a price formula. In December 1996, the Company paid $24.8 million for 1,550,934 shares of its capital stock to a former owner of Blue Coral, who was a director of the Company, and to an affiliated trust. In 1993, the United States commenced a lawsuit against the Company alleging that the Company violated the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the federal Clean Air Act at the West Virginia refinery. In 1996, a $2.9 million settlement was reached that required the Company to pay a cash penalty and complete certain supplemental environmental projects. In addition, the Company was required to make certain capital improvements to the facility. The Company incurred $12.2 million in 1997 in connection with these capital expenditures. The Company sold the refinery in 1997 (see Note 3) but retained certain past environmental liabilities associated with this facility. The Company expects to complete the projects required by the environmental settlement in 1998. All costs to complete these projects are provided for in the Company's environmental reserves. The Company has received notices from the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") and others that it is a potentially responsible party relative to certain waste disposal sites identified by the USEPA and that it may be required to share in the cost of clean-up. The Company anticipates some liability for long-term remediation at formerly owned facilities including four refineries and various coal operations. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $28.2 million accrued for all environmental matters which are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company currently expects most of these costs to be paid over the next five to ten years. In 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed an administrative proceeding seeking an order that Slick 50 cease from making certain product claims and refrain from making other product claims without adequate substantiation. In addition, class action suits were filed against Slick 50 alleging false, misleading, deceptive and/or unsubstantiated claims relating to Slick 50(R) engine treatment. These actions seek damages on behalf of the purported classes. In December 1997, the FTC approved and entered a consent decree settling the administrative proceeding. The consent decree includes restrictions on the future advertising of Slick 50(R) products and an agreement by the FTC not to seek consumer redress provided Slick 50 makes available at least $10 million in consumer redress in the form of coupons, refunds or free products for former purchasers of Slick 50 products. The Company has reached a tentative settlement with counsel in all of the above actions except one, under which the Company would make available to class members $20 million in cash rebates usable against future purchases of a variety of the products or services of the Company and its subsidiaries and to pay attorneys' fees to counsel for the class as approved by the court but not in any event to exceed $3.25 million. The Company will also pay all costs of notice and settlement administration. The tentative settlement will be presented for approval to the District Court for Dallas County, Texas. The tentative settlement of the class action suits would fulfill the consumer redress requirements under the FTC consent decree. Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection with suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are adequately accrued for or covered by insurance or, if not so provided for, are without merit or the disposition is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's 13 financial position; however, one or more of these matters could have a material effect on future quarterly or annual results of operations or cash flow when resolved. 13. STOCK OPTIONS AND MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION: The Company has various stock option, incentive and award plans. The Company applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options issued under the plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: (in thousands, except per share amount) 1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 21,308 $13,225 Earnings per share .61 .38 ================================================================= Under current plans, 6,285,836 shares have been authorized for issuance. Collectively, these plans include stock options, stock appreciation rights, cash payment rights, restricted shares, performance shares and other share awards. Under these plans, options have been granted to employees and non-employee directors to purchase capital stock at a price no less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted may not be exercised for at least six months from the date of grant and all options must be exercised within ten years of the date granted. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996, and 1995: expected volatility of 26%, risk-free interest rates of 6%, and expected lives of 3.5 years. A dividend yield of 2.6%, 2.4%, and 2.4% was assumed for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans is presented below: 1997 1996 1995 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSTANDING, BEGINNING OF YEAR 1,770,348 $14.52 1,988,950 $ 14.71 1,607,071 $ 14.65 Granted Option price equal to market value 1,492,750 $14.57 223,500 $ 14.43 436,500 $ 14.22 Option price greater than market value 90,000 $19.50 125,000 $ 16.81 50,000 $ 21.74 Exercised (66,400) $12.56 (179,551) $ 12.61 (64,201) $ 12.40 Canceled or expired (136,800) $16.99 (387,551) $ 17.20 (40,420) $ 19.07 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSTANDING, END OF YEAR 3,149,898 $14.62 1,770,348 $ 14.52 1,988,950 $ 14.71 ========================================================================================================================== 1997 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year Option price equal to market value $ 3.18 $3.22 $ 3.18 Option price greater than market value $ 2.82 $2.31 $ 1.79 Options exercisable at December 31 2,431,523 1,430,348 1,168,950 Shares available for option 2,236,962 134,833 420,604 Capital stock reserved 5,720,720 2,357,881 2,409,554 ========================================================================================================================== 14 The following table summarizes information about the Company's stock options outstanding at December 31, 1997: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted- Average Weighted- Weighted- Range of Number Remaining Average Number Average Exercise Prices Outstanding Contract Life Exercise Price Exercisable Exercise Price - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $10.19-$14.00 1,068,198 6.53 $ 13.08 993,698 $ 13.07 $14.06-$14.50 1,124,250 8.96 $ 14.26 639,875 $ 14.26 $14.63-$23.81 957,450 7.18 $ 16.77 797,950 $ 16.92 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $10.19-$23.81 3,149,898 7.60 $ 14.62 2,431,523 $ 14.64 =========================================================================================================== In 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Company issued 31,621, 45,000 and 72,845, respectively, restricted shares with weighted-average fair values of $15.81, $14.00 and $14.48 to certain key employees. Effective December 31, 1996, 96,477 performance restricted shares that had been issued in 1994 and 1995 were canceled due to the non-achievement of certain three year performance goals resulting in a credit to compensation expense of $1.2 million. The total impact to compensation expense (benefit) for restricted stock awards was $309,000, $(291,000), and $842,000 for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all of its corporate and Lubricants and Lubricant Services employees. Plans covering substantially all of the salaried employees provide pension benefits that are generally based on the employees' compensation and length of service. Plans covering hourly employees provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company's funding policy is based on an actuarially determined cost method allowable under statutory regulations. Net pension cost for 1997, 1996, and 1995 is summarized below: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service cost benefits earned during the period $ 2,401 $ 2,496 $ 2,886 Interest cost 10,207 9,668 9,629 Actual return on assets (13,025) (11,543) (22,791) Net amortization and deferral (341) (858) 11,121 -------- -------- -------- Total pension (benefit) costs (a) $ (758) $ (237) $ 845 ==================================================================================== a. 1997 excludes $600,000 curtailment loss and $800,000 of special termination benefits due to the sale of the West Virginia refinery and $1 million curtailment gain due to the sale of Truck-Lite. 1995 excludes $1.8 million and $800,000 curtailment gain and $3 million and $500,000 cost of special termination benefits due to restructuring and sale of E&P. 15 The funded status of the plans at December 31, 1997 and 1996 follows: 1997 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Assets Exceed Accumulated Assets Exceed Accumulated Accumulated Benefits Exceed Accumulated Benefits (in thousands) Benefits Assets Benefits Exceed Assets - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vested benefit obligation $129,456 $ 4,189 $125,171 $ 1,013 ======== ======= ======== ======= Accumulated benefit obligation 136,775 5,547 130,601 1,087 ======== ======= ======== ======= Projected benefit obligation 144,942 5,835 139,438 1,308 Plan assets at fair value, primarily pooled separate accounts 156,456 -- 145,468 -- -------- ------- -------- ------- Projected benefit obligation less than (in excess of) plan assets 11,514 (5,835) 6,030 (1,308) Prior service cost not yet recognized in net periodic pension cost 2,699 80 4,085 98 Unrecognized net loss 2,297 30 8,181 67 Unrecognized transition asset (6,280) 138 (7,987) 184 Minimum liability adjustment -- (248) -- (349) -------- ------- -------- ------- Prepaid pension cost (liability) recognized in the balance sheet $ 10,230 $(5,835) $ 10,309 $(1,308) =============================================================================================================== Significant assumptions used in determining net pension costs and related pension obligations are: December 31, 1997 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 7.0% 7.5% 7.0% Rate of increase in compensation levels 4.0% 4.0% 4.0% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% =================================================================== The Company has certain defined contribution plans including a Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The cost of these plans was $1.8 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for active and retired employees of certain subsidiaries. These plans are unfunded, and the Company retains the right to modify or eliminate these benefits. The components of periodic expense for postretirement benefits in 1997, 1996 and 1995 were as follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service costs of benefits earned $1,609 $1,660 $ 697 Interest cost on liability 6,928 7,201 7,565 Amortization of (gain) loss (387) 477 129 ------ ------ ------ Net periodic postretirement benefit cost (a) $8,150 $9,338 $8,391 ============================================================================== a. 1997 excludes $800,000 of curtailment gain due to sale of West Virginia refinery. 1995 excludes $600,000 and $800,000 cost of curtailment due to restructuring and sale of E&P. 16 The status of the plans at December 31, 1997 and 1996 follows: (in thousands) 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retirees $ 91,139 $ 90,526 Fully eligible active participants 3,165 3,848 Other active participants 8,562 7,500 -------- -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) 102,866 101,874 Unrecognized net gain 1,714 1,081 -------- -------- Accrued postretirement benefit costs $104,580 $102,955 ============================================================================= For measurement purposes, a 7% annual rate of increase in the per capita claims cost was assumed for 1997, declining gradually to 5% by the year 2001 and thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the APBO and net periodic benefit costs. A 1% increase in the trend rate for health care costs would have increased the APBO at December 31, 1997 by 12% and 1997 service and interest costs by 14%. Significant assumptions used in determining postretirement benefit expenses and accumulated postretirement benefit obligations are: December 31, 1997 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 7.0% 7.5% 7.0% Rate of increase in compensation levels 4.0% 4.0% 4.0% ================================================================================================= 15.

SEGMENT INFORMATION: The Company's operations are organized into two segments. The Lubricants and Lubricant Services segment produces and markets lubricants and provides fast service automobile oil changes through the Company's Q Lube subsidiary. The Company's Consumer Products segment consists of operations from its recent acquisitions (see Note 2) of Slick 50, Blue Coral, Medo, Axius and Rain-X. The Consumer Products segment manufactures and markets automotive aftermarket products, including automotive chemicals, car appearance and air freshener products. Intersegment sales are at market. Corporate assets consist principally of deferred tax assets, cash and cash equivalents and assets not identifiable with the operations of a segment. 17 (in thousands) 1997 1996 1995 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues (a) Lubricants and lubricant services $ 914,682 $ 972,390 $906,158 Consumer products 287,594 143,929 39,962 Intersegment sales (8,305) (2,815) (862) ---------- ---------- -------- $1,193,971 $1,113,504 $945,258 ====================================================================================== Operating Profits Lubricants and lubricant services $ 33,703 $ 46,061 $ 39,868 Restructuring, systems integration and other special charges (Note 3) (26,980) (17,871) (17,800) ---------- ---------- -------- Total lubricants and lubricant services 6,723 28,190 22,068 ---------- ---------- -------- Consumer products 44,658 14,383 2,880 Restructuring, systems integration and other special charges (Note 3) (13,833) (239) -- ---------- ---------- -------- Total consumer products 30,825 14,144 2,880 ---------- ---------- -------- Total operating profits 37,548 42,334 24,948 Corporate income 912 3,013 5,523 Gain on sale of joint venture interests 3,517 -- -- Interest expense (26,913) (12,609) (7,178) Corporate expenses (18,855) (18,790) (19,816) Restructuring, systems integration and other special charges (Note 3) (7,598) 3,603 (9,200) ---------- ---------- -------- Total corporate expenses (26,453) (15,187) (29,016) ---------- ---------- -------- Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ (11,389) $ 17,551 $ (5,723) ====================================================================================== Identifiable Assets Lubricants and lubricant services $ 575,554 $ 505,236 $448,674 Consumer products 482,896 375,892 78,794 Discontinued operations 1,851 36,798 35,543 ---------- ---------- -------- 1,060,301 917,926 563,011 Corporate 109,414 111,083 144,640 ---------- ---------- -------- $1,169,715 $1,029,009 $707,651 ====================================================================================== a.

In the opinion of management of Quaker State Corporation (the "Company"), the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The December 31, 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 2. Special charges of $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are comprised of $14.5 million of systems integration costs, $15 million of merger costs (see Note 8) and $3.1 million of restructuring and other special charges. 3. The effective tax rates are higher than the 35% federal statutory rate due to the impact of state and foreign taxes and nondeductible amortization. 4. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares of capital stock outstanding for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is due to dilutive stock options of 245,000 and 313,000, and 445,000 and 214,000, respectively. 5. The following schedule is prepared on a pro forma basis as though Rain-X Corporation ("Rain-X") and the assets of Auto-Shade, L.L.C. and Auto-Shade (Overseas) L.L.C. ("Axius") had been acquired as of January 1, 1997 and Truck-Lite Co. Inc. ("Truck-Lite") was sold as of January 1, 1997, after including the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets, interest expense and related tax effects. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (in thousands except per share data) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $964,364 Income from continuing operations 19,024 Income per share from continuing operations .53 -------- The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the period presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results. 6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis for manufactured products. For other inventories, such as purchased finished lubricating oils and purchased automotive aftermarket products, cost is determined on the first-in, first- out ("FIFO") basis. The reserve to reduce the carrying value of inventories from FIFO basis to LIFO basis amounted to $3.6 million at September 30, 1998 and $7.5 million at December 31, 1997. Inventories consist of: September 30, December 31, (in thousands) 1998 1997 - --------------------------------- ------------- ------------ Lubricants and related materials $59,985 $59,242 Consumer products 38,027 31,579 ------- ------- Total $98,012 $90,821 ======= ======= Certain inventory quantities were reduced resulting in liquidation of LIFO inventory which increased net income by $1.6 million or $.04 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. 24 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED 7. On July 28, 1998, Oil Changer, Inc. ("Oil Changer") and several corporations affiliated with Oil Changer filed a suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, Alameda County, against the Company, certain executives of the Company and other individuals. The complaint alleges that the Company and Oil Changer were "strategic partners" in an alleged partnership to develop quick lubrication centers in Northern California. Oil Changer alleges that the Company breached the alleged agreement by developing quick lubrication centers with another entity. The complaint asserts claims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and usurpation of partnership opportunity, partnership accounting, breach of contract, conspiracy and violation of Section 17200 of the California Business Professions Code. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages of $50 million, punitive damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs as well as injunctive relief. The Company has filed an answer denying liability and a cross-complaint alleging breach by Oil Changer of a loan agreement with the Company and seeking damages and judicial foreclosure of the collateral held by the Company. In addition, on July 28, 1998, Oil Changer and several corporations affiliated with Oil Changer filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil"). The complaint asserts claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Sections 16720 and 17200 of the California Business Professions Code, alleging that the proposed merger of the Company and Pennzoil's downstream business will substantially lessen competition in, or result in monopolization of, the markets for motor oil and quick lubrication services in certain areas of California. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and treble damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs as well as injunctive relief enjoining the proposed merger. On September 4, 1998, the Company filed a motion to dismiss this complaint, which was granted in part resulting in a dismissal of the claims under the California Business Professions Code and certain Sherman Act and Clayton Act claims. On October 8, 1998, Plaintiffs filed a notice of motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the proposed merger, to which the Company and Pennzoil filed a joint opposition. The Company has received notices from the EPA and others that it is a "potentially responsible party" relative to certain waste disposal sites identified by the EPA and may be required to share in the cost of cleanup. The Company has accrued for all matters, which are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection with suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are adequately accrued for or covered by insurance, or, if not so provided for, are without merit or the disposition is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position; however, one or more of these matters could have a material effect on future quarterly or annual results of operations or cash flow when resolved. 8. On April 14, 1998, the Company, Pennzoil and certain Pennzoil subsidiaries entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement and related agreements provide for the separation of Pennzoil's motor oil, refined products and franchise operations from its exploration and production operations and for the combination of the motor oil, refined products and franchise operations with the Company. Closing under the Merger Agreement is conditioned on, among other things, approval by the Company's stockholders, expiration or termination of waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act"), and receipt of a favorable tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. The waiting period under the HSR Act expired on May 27, 1998. The Company's stockholders approved the merger at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 18, 1998. 25 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED The Merger Agreement, if consummated, would result in a Change of Control (as defined in the Company's $400 million Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company would be required to notify each Bank (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that a Change of Control has occurred within ten days of such occurrence, and each Bank may terminate its Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and declare the Note (as defined in the Credit Agreement) immediately due and payable with three Domestic Business Days (as defined in the Credit Agreement) notice given not later than ninety days after such Change of Control. 26
