        February 22    Received indication from Rosemore's advisors of potential
                       offer.

                       Independent Marketer's advisors relayed Independent
                       Marketer's continued interest if Crown could control
                       Newco, Debt would not be triggered and refineries could
                       be sold.

        February 27    Met with Rosemore's advisors.

                       Specifically told Rosemore's advisors that verbal
                       indication of value was not adequate and asked to receive
                       Rosemore's approval to make an acquisition proposal to
                       Independent Marketer.

        February 29    At the request of Rosemore and under the Confidentiality
                       Agreement (C.A.) Crown executed with Independent
                       Marketer, CSFB provided information on Independent
                       Marketer to Rosemore advisors.

        March 6        Received offer of $8.35 per share in cash from Rosemore.

                       Verbally received indication that Rosemore would not
                       approve a Independent Marketer transaction.

        March 8        Received conditional offer from privately owned Olympic
                       Resources Limited. Olympic currently unwilling to provide
                       information on its company or financing.

        March 9        Received offer of $9.20 per share in cash from Apex Oil.
                       Offer contingent on due diligence, refinancing of long-
                       term debt and ability to terminate transaction at will.
                       Still negotiating C.A. with Apex.

        March 14       Discussed with Board Status of Process:

                             Status of Rosemore and Apex Offer

                             Revised Value of Crown

        March 15       Non-U.S. Oil Company, who signed a C.A. on February 14th,
                       submitted a tentative offer to purchase Crown at price
                       above current offer.

                             Conditioned on 45-60 days of due diligence

                       CSFB asked Non-U.S. Oil Company to enter Data Room
                       quickly to start work and that 45 days was too long of a
                       due diligence period.

                             Non-U.S. Oil Company's primary interest appears to
                             be retail and real estate

        March 22       CSFB informed Non-U.S. Oil Company that they need to
                       start due diligence by Friday, March 24 to be in a
                       position to be competitive.

        Week of        Apex still unwilling to sign C.A. and unwilling or unable
          March 13th   to have advisor Bear Stearns meet with CSFB to discuss
          and 20th     proposal.

        March 24       Sent letter to Rosemore, Apex and Non-U.S. Oil Company
                       to send in best and final offers for Crown on Wednesday,
                       March 29th at 4:30p.m.

   Review of Process Since January Board Meeting (Cont'd)

        March 27       Received call from Non-U.S. Oil Company.

                       Non-U.S. Oil Company plans to meet with its Board later
                       this week to receive approval to spend money on due
                       diligence.

                       Still see value in $10 range but need 5 weeks to conclude
                       due diligence.

        March 29       Received offer of $9.35 per share in cash from Rosemore.

                       Apex reconfirmed its $9.20 all cash offer and proposed
                       two additional alternatives. Proposed a stock for stock
                       offer that would value Crown at $10.00 per share and also
                       proposed a private placement of 3.5 to 4.5 mm shares at
                       $9.50 per share. Both additional offers include shortfall
                       distribution provisions. Two of the Apex offers are
                       subject to additional due diligence and all three offers
                       are contingent on refinancing Crown's High Yield debt.
                       Apex has not yet received a commitment for such
                       refinancing.

        March 30       Discussed with Board status of process:

                             Status of Rosemore and Apex Offers

                             Reviewed Value of Crown

                       CSFB contacted Apex's counsel to review offer. CSFB
                       requested a higher cash offer with no conditions. Novelly
                       still unwilling to sign a C.A.

        March 31       Discussed status of process with Board.

        April 6        Received call from Apex. Willing to sign C.A. with
                       standstill, but conditional on a guaranteed 30 day due
                       diligence period.
