                  FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Specifically, all statements under the caption "Item 2 - Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" relating to
capital expenditures and investments related to environmental compliance and
strategic planning, purchasing patterns of refined products and capital
resources available to PDV America and its subsidiaries are forward-looking
statements. In addition, when used in this document, the words "anticipate,"
"estimate," "prospect" and similar expressions are used to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, such as increased inflation, continued access to capital markets
and commercial bank financing on favorable terms, increases in regulatory
burdens, changes in prices or demand for the products of PDV America and its
subsidiaries as a result of competitive actions or economic factors and changes
in the cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blending components or refined products.
Such statements are also subject to the risks of increased costs in related
technologies and such technologies producing anticipated results. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may vary
materially from those estimated, anticipated or projected. Although PDV America
believes that the expectations reflected by such forward-looking statements are
reasonable based on information currently available to PDV America and its
subsidiaries, no assurances can be given that such expectations will prove to
have been correct.

PDV AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial information for PDV America, Inc. ("PDV America")
         subsequent to December 31, 2000 and with respect to the interim
         three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is
         unaudited. In the opinion of PDV America's management, such interim
         information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal
         recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
         of such periods. The results of operations for the three-month and
         six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Reference
         is made to PDV America's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended
         December 31, 2000 on Form 10-K, dated March 30, 2001, for additional
         information.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
         PDV America and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CITGO Petroleum
         Corporation ("CITGO"), VPHI Midwest, Inc. ("Midwest") and PDV USA, Inc.
         ("PDV USA"), as well as CITGO's 65%-owned subsidiary, Cit-Con Oil
         Corporation and Midwest's wholly owned subsidiary, PDV Midwest
         Refining, L.L.C. ("PDVMR"). Each of these subsidiaries, together with
         PDV America, are herein referred to collectively as, the "Companies."

2.       CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

         On January 1, 2001 the Companies adopted the Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The statement, as amended,
         establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
         instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
         recognizes all derivatives, at fair value, as either assets or
         liabilities in the statement of financial position with an offset
         either to shareholder's equity and comprehensive income or income
         depending upon the classification of the derivative. Certain of the
         derivative instruments identified at January 1, 2001 under the
         provisions of SFAS No. 133 had been previously designated in hedging
         relationships that addressed the variable cash flow exposure of
         forecasted transactions. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No.
         133, on January 1, 2001, the Companies recorded an after-tax,
         cumulative-effect-type transition charge of $1.5 million to accumulated
         other comprehensive income related to these derivatives. Certain of the
         derivative instruments identified at January 1, 2001 under the
         provisions of SFAS No. 133 had been previously designated in hedging
         relationships that addressed the fair value of certain forward purchase
         and sale commitments. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133,
         on January 1, 2001, the Companies recorded fair value adjustments to
         the subject derivatives and related commitments resulting in the
         recording of a net after-tax, cumulative-effect-type transition charge
         of $0.2 million to net income. The remaining derivatives identified at
         January 1, 2001 under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, consisting of
         certain forward purchases and sales, had not previously been considered
         derivatives under accounting principles generally accepted in the
         United States of America. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No.
         133, on January 1, 2001, the Companies recorded an after-tax,
         cumulative-effect-type benefit of $13.8 million to net income related
         to these derivatives.

         The Companies did not elect subsequent hedge accounting for derivatives
         existing at January 1, 2001. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value
         of those derivatives have been recorded in income. Prospectively, the
         Companies plan to elect hedge accounting only under limited
         circumstances involving derivatives with initial terms of 90 days or
         greater and notional amounts of $25 million or greater.

         On May 11, 2001, CITGO renewed its $150 million 364-day revolving bank
         loan facility for another term.

         On May 28, 2001, CITGO established an additional $25 million 364-day

5.       INVESTMENT IN LYONDELL-CITGO REFINING LP

         LYONDELL-CITGO Refining LP ("LYONDELL-CITGO") owns and operates a
         refinery in Houston, Texas with a refining capacity of 265 thousand
         barrels per day. LYONDELL-CITGO is owned 41.25% by subsidiaries of
         CITGO and 58.75% by Lyondell Chemical Company (collectively, the
         "Owners"). This refinery processes heavy crude oil supplied by
         Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (together with one or more of its
         subsidiaries, "PDVSA") under a long-term

                                       7


         supply contract that expires in 2017. CITGO purchases substantially all
         of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel produced at the refinery under a
         long-term contract.

         On February 9, 2001, PDVSA notified LYONDELL-CITGO that, effective
         February 1, 2001, it had declared force majeure under the contract
         described above. Under a force majeure declaration, PDVSA may reduce
         the amount of crude oil that it would otherwise be required to supply
         under this agreement. If PDVSA reduces its delivery of crude oil,
         LYONDELL-CITGO may be required to use alternative sources to obtain its
         required supply of crude oil, which may result in reduced operating
         margins. As of June 30, 2001, PDVSA's deliveries of crude oil to
         LYONDELL-CITGO have not been reduced due to PDVSA's declaration of
         force majeure.

         CITGO has notes receivable from LYONDELL-CITGO that totaled $35 million
         at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The notes bear interest at
         market rates and are due July 1, 2003. These notes are included in
         other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

         CITGO accounts for its investment in LYONDELL-CITGO using the equity
         method of accounting and records its share of the net earnings of
         LYONDELL-CITGO based on allocations of income agreed to by the Owners.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Litigation and Injury Claims - Various lawsuits and claims arising in
         the ordinary course of business are pending against the Companies. The
         Companies record accruals for potential losses when, in management's
         opinion, such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. If known
         lawsuits and claims were to be determined in a manner adverse to the
         Companies, and in amounts greater than the Companies' accruals, then
         such determinations could have a material adverse effect on the
         Companies' results of operations in a given reporting period. However,
         in the opinion of the Companies' management, the ultimate resolution of
         these lawsuits and claims will not exceed, by a material amount, the
         amount of the accruals and the insurance coverage available to the
         Companies. This opinion is based upon the current assessment of the
         Companies' management and counsel of these lawsuits and claims. The
         most significant lawsuits and claims are discussed below.

         Four former marketers of The UNO-VEN Company ("UNO-VEN") have filed a
         class action complaint against UNO-VEN alleging improper termination of
         the UNO-VEN Marketer Sales Agreement under the Petroleum Marketing
         Practices Act in connection with PDVMR's 1997 acquisition of Unocal's
         interest in UNO-VEN. This class action has been certified for liability
         purposes. The lawsuit is pending in the U.S. District Court in
         Wisconsin. PDVMR has filed a motion for summary judgment. The
         Companies, including PDVMR, jointly and severally, have agreed to
         indemnify UNO-VEN and certain other related entities against certain
         liabilities and claims, including this matter.

         A lawsuit is pending against PDVMR and CITGO in the Illinois state
         court which claims damages as a result of PDVMR's invoicing a
         partnership, in which it is a partner, and an affiliate of the other
         partner of the partnership, alleging excessive charges for electricity
         used by these entities' facilities located adjacent to the Lemont,
         Illinois refinery. The Companies have denied all allegations and are
         pursuing their defenses.

         In May 1997, a fire occurred at CITGO's Corpus Christi refinery. No
         serious personal injuries were reported. Approximately 1,300 claims
         have been resolved for immaterial amounts. There are seventeen related
         lawsuits pending in Corpus Christi, Texas state court against CITGO on
         behalf of approximately 9,000 individuals alleging property damages,
         personal injury and punitive damages. None of these are presently
         scheduled for trial.

         A class action lawsuit is pending in Corpus Christi, Texas state court
         against CITGO which claims damages for reduced value of residential
         properties as a result of alleged air, soil and groundwater
         contamination. CITGO has purchased 275 adjacent properties included in
         the lawsuit and settled those related property damage claims. CITGO has
         contested an agreement that purported to provide for settlement of the
         remaining property damage claims for $5 million payable by it. Motions
         by CITGO and the plaintiffs for summary judgment related to the
         enforcement of this agreement are currently under consideration by the
         court.

         A lawsuit alleging wrongful death and personal injury filed in 1996
         against CITGO and other industrial facilities in Corpus Christi, Texas
         state court was brought by persons who claim that exposure to refinery
         hydrocarbon emissions have caused various forms of illness. The lawsuit
         is scheduled for trial in 2002.

         Litigation is pending in federal court in Lake Charles, Louisiana
         against CITGO by a number of current and former refinery employees and
         applicants asserting claims of racial discrimination in connection with
         CITGO's employment practices. A trial involving two plaintiffs resulted
         in verdicts for CITGO. The Court granted CITGO summary judgment with
         respect to another group of claims; this has been appealed to the Fifth
         Circuit Court of Appeals. No trials of the remaining cases are set
         pending this appeal.

         CITGO is among defendants to class action lawsuits in North Carolina,
         New York and Illinois alleging contamination of water supplies by
         methyl tertiary butyl ether, a component of gasoline. These actions
         allege that methyl tertiary butyl ether poses public health risks and
         seek damages as well as remediation of the alleged contamination. These
         matters are in early stages of discovery. The Illinois case has been
         transferred to New York and consolidated with the case pending in New
         York. CITGO has denied all of the allegations and is pursuing its
         defenses.

         In 1999, a group of U.S. independent oil producers filed petitions
         under the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty laws against imports
         of crude oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. These laws
         provide for the imposition of additional duties on imports of
         merchandise if (1) the U.S. Department of Commerce, after
         investigation, determines that the merchandise has been sold to the
         United States at dumped prices or has benefited from countervailing
         subsidies, and (2) the U.S. International Trade Commission determines
         that the imported merchandise has caused or threatened material injury
         to the U.S. industry producing like product. The amount of the
         additional duties imposed is generally equal to the amount of the
         dumping margin and subsidies found on the imports on which the duties
         are assessed. No duties are owed on imports made prior to the formal
         initiation of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce. In
         1999, prior to initiation of a formal investigation, the U.S.
         Department of Commerce dismissed the petitions. In 2000, the U.S. Court
         of International Trade overturned this decision and remanded the case
         to the U.S. Department of Commerce for reconsideration.

         Environmental Compliance and Remediation - The Companies are subject to
         various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations
         which may require the Companies to take action to correct or improve
         the effects on the environment of prior disposal or release of
         petroleum substances by the Companies or other parties. Maintaining
         compliance with environmental laws and regulations in the future could
         require significant capital expenditures and additional operating
         costs.

         PDV America's accounting policy establishes environmental reserves as
         probable site restoration and remediation obligations become reasonably
         capable of estimation. Based on currently available information,
         including the continuing participation of former owners in remediation
         actions and indemnification agreements with third parties, PDV America
         believes that its accruals are sufficient to address its environmental
         cleanup obligations.

         In 1992, CITGO reached an agreement with a state agency to cease usage
         of certain surface impoundments at CITGO's Lake Charles refinery by
         1994. A mutually acceptable closure plan was filed with the state in
         1993. CITGO and its former owner are participating in the closure and
         sharing the related costs based on estimated contributions of waste and
         ownership periods. The remediation commenced in December 1993. In 1997,
         CITGO presented a proposal to a state agency revising the 1993 closure
         plan. In 1998 and 2000, CITGO submitted further revisions as requested
         by the state agency. A ruling on the proposal, as amended, is expected
         in 2001 with final closure to begin in 2002.

         In 1992, an agreement was reached between CITGO and its former owner
         concerning a number of environmental issues which provides in part that
         the former owner will continue to share the costs of certain specific
         environmental remediation and certain tort liability actions based on
         ownership periods and specific terms of the agreement.

         The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission conducted
         environmental compliance reviews at the Corpus Christi refinery in 1998
         and 1999. The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission has
         issued notices of violation related to each of the reviews and has
         proposed fines of approximately $970,000 based on the 1998 review and
         $700,000 based on the 1999 review. The first notice of violation was
         issued in January 1999 and the second notice of violation was issued in
         December 1999. Most of the alleged violations refer to recordkeeping
         and

                                       10


         reporting issues, failure to meet required emission levels, and failure
         to properly monitor emissions. A hearing on the merits has been
         scheduled for November 2001. CITGO intends to vigorously contest the
         alleged violations and proposed fines.

         In June 1999, CITGO and numerous other industrial companies received
         notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that the U.S.
         Environmental Protection Agency believes these companies have
         contributed to contamination in the Calcasieu Estuary, in the proximity
         of Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana and are Potentially
         Responsible Parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
         Compensation, and Liability Act. The Environmental Protection Agency
         made a demand for payment of its past investigation costs from CITGO
         and other Potentially Responsible Parties and is conducting a Remedial
         Investigation/Feasibility Study under its authority under the
         Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.
         CITGO and other Potentially Responsible Parties may be potentially
         responsible for the costs of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility
         Study. CITGO disagrees with the Environmental Protection Agency's
         allegations and intends to contest this matter.

         In October 1999, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
         issued CITGO a notice of violation and potential penalty alleging
         violation of benzene NESHAPS regulations covering benzene emissions
         from wastewater treatment operations at CITGO's Lake Charles, Louisiana
         refinery and requested additional information. CITGO anticipates
         resolving this for an immaterial amount.

         In November 1999, the Attorney General's Office of Illinois filed a
         complaint in the 12th Judicial Circuit Court, Will County, Illinois
         against PDVMR and CITGO alleging damages from several releases to the
         air of contaminants from PDVMR's refinery. The initial complaint
         alleged violations and potential compliance action. The Attorney
         General's office later made a demand for penalties of approximately
         $150,000. While CITGO and PDVMR disagree with the Attorney General's
         alleged violations and proposed penalty demand, they are cooperating
         with the agency and anticipate reaching an agreement with the agency to
         resolve this lawsuit by the end of 2001.

         In January 2001, CITGO and PDVMR received notices of violation from the
         Environmental Protection Agency alleging violations of the Federal
         Clean Air Act. The notices of violation are an outgrowth of inspections
         and formal information requests regarding CITGO's and PDVMR's
         compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act. The notices of violation
         cover CITGO's Lake Charles, Louisiana and Corpus Christi, Texas
         refineries and the PDVMR Lemont, Illinois refinery operated by CITGO.
         For the Lake Charles and Lemont facilities, the notices of violation
         allege, among other things, violations of the "New Source Review"
         provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act, which address installation and
         permitting of new and modified air emission sources. For the Corpus
         Christi facility, the notice of violation alleges violations of various
         monitoring, leak detection and repair requirements of the Federal Clean
         Air Act. If the Companies were to be found to have violated the
         provisions cited in the notices of violation, they could be subject to
         possible penalties and capital expenditures for installation or
         upgrading of pollution control equipment or technologies. The
         likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and the amount or range of any
         potential loss cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

         Conditions which require additional expenditures may exist with respect
         to various sites of the Companies including, but not limited to, the
         Companies' operating refinery complexes, closed refineries, service
         stations and crude oil and petroleum product storage terminals. The
         amount of such future expenditures, if any, is indeterminable.

         Derivative Commodity and Financial Instruments - The Companies enter
         into petroleum futures contracts, options and other over-the-counter
         commodity derivatives, primarily to reduce its inventory purchase and
         product sale exposure to market risk. In the normal course of business,
         the Companies also enter into certain petroleum commodity forward
         purchase and sale contracts that

                                       11


         qualify as derivatives. At June 30, 2001, the balance sheet caption
         other current liabilities includes $7.5 million related to the fair
         values of open commodity derivatives.

         The Companies have also entered into various interest rate swaps to
         manage its risk related to interest rate changes on its debt. The fair
         value of the interest rate swap agreements in place at June 30, 2001,
         based on the estimated amount that the Companies would receive or pay
         to terminate the agreements as of that date and taking into account
         current interest rates, was a loss of $3 million, the offset of which
         is recorded in the balance sheet caption other current liabilities. In
         connection with the determination of fair market value, the Companies
         consider the creditworthiness of the counter parties, but no adjustment
         was determined to be necessary as a result.

7.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         CITGO's largest supplier of crude oil is PDVSA. CITGO has entered into
         long-term crude oil supply agreements with PDVSA with respect to the
         crude oil requirements for each of CITGO's refineries. These crude oil
         supply agreements contain force majeure provisions that entitle the
         supplier to reduce the quantity of crude oil and feedstocks delivered
         under the crude supply agreements under specified circumstances. On
         February 9, 2001, PDVSA notified CITGO that it had declared force
         majeure, effective February 1, 2001, under each of the long-term crude
         oil supply agreements it has with CITGO. Under a force majeure
         declaration, PDVSA may reduce the amount of crude oil that it would
         otherwise be required to supply under these agreements. If PDVSA
         reduces its delivery of crude oil, CITGO may be required to use
         alternative sources to obtain their required supply of crude oil, which
         may result in reduced operating margins.

         As of June 30, 2001, PDVSA's deliveries of crude oil to CITGO have not
         been reduced due to PDVSA's declaration of force majeure. It is not
         possible for CITGO to forecast future financial impacts of this force
         majeure condition on CITGO's costs or the duration of the force
         majeure.

8.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On August 14, 2001, a fire occurred and was extinguished at the crude
         distillation unit of the Companies' Lemont refinery. There were no
         reports of serious injuries to workers at the plant. The extent of
         damage to the affected units has not yet been determined. We are
         conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire. The financial
         effects of this event are not presently determinable.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Overview

         The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of PDV America should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements of PDV America included elsewhere
herein. Reference is made to PDV America's Annual Report for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000 on Form 10-K, dated March 30, 2001, for additional
information and a description of factors that may cause substantial fluctuations
in the earnings and cash flows of PDV America.

         In the quarter ended June 30, 2001, PDV America generated net income of
$255.5 million on revenue of $5.8 billion compared to net income of $79.7
million on revenue of $5.7 billion for the same period last year. In the six
months ended June 30, 2001, PDV America generated net income of $373.5 million
on revenue of $10.8 billion compared to net income of $123.4 million on revenue
of $10.6 billion for the same period last year. (See "Results of Operation -
Gross margin" below).

         CITGO's revenue accounted for over 99% of PDV America's consolidated
revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
PDVMR's sales of $1.0 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 were
primarily to CITGO and, accordingly, these were eliminated in consolidation.

         LYONDELL-CITGO owns and operates a refinery in Houston, Texas that
processes heavy crude oil supplied by PDVSA under a long-term supply contract
that expires in 2017. CITGO purchases substantially all of the gasoline, diesel
and jet fuel produced at the refinery under a long-term contract.

         On February 9, 2001, PDVSA notified LYONDELL-CITGO that, effective
February 1, 2001, it had declared force majeure under the contract described
above. Under a force majeure declaration, PDVSA may reduce the amount of crude
oil that it would otherwise be required to supply under this agreement. If PDVSA
reduces its delivery of crude oil, LYONDELL-CITGO may be required to use
alternative sources to obtain its required supply of crude oil, which may result
in reduced operating margins. As of June 30, 2001, PDVSA's deliveries of crude
oil to LYONDELL-CITGO have not been reduced due to PDVSA's declaration of force
majeure.

         CITGO's largest supplier of crude oil is PDVSA. CITGO has entered into
long-term crude oil supply agreements with PDVSA with respect to the crude oil
requirements for each of CITGO's refineries. These crude oil supply agreements
contain force majeure provisions that entitle the supplier to reduce the
quantity of crude oil and feedstocks delivered under the crude supply agreements
under specified circumstances. On February 9, 2001, PDVSA notified CITGO that it
had declared force majeure, effective February 1, 2001, under each of the
long-term crude oil supply agreements it has with CITGO. Under a force majeure
declaration, PDVSA may reduce the amount of crude oil that it would otherwise be
required to supply under these agreements. If PDVSA reduces its delivery of
crude oil, CITGO may be required to use alternative sources to obtain their
required supply of crude oil, which may result in reduced operating margins.

         As of June 30, 2001, PDVSA's deliveries of crude oil to CITGO have not
been reduced due to PDVSA's declaration of force majeure. It is not possible for
CITGO to forecast future financial impacts of this force majeure condition on
CITGO's costs or the duration of the force majeure.

         Sales revenues and volumes. Sales increased $71 million, or
approximately 1%, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
the same period in 2000. This was due to an increase in average sales price of
2%, offset by a decrease in sales volume of 1%. Sales increased $201 million, or
approximately 2%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the
same period in 2000. This was due to an increase in average sales price of 2%
and an increase in sales volume of less than 1%. (See PDV America's Sales
Revenues and Volumes table above.)

         Equity in earnings of affiliates. Equity in earnings of affiliates
increased by $44 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and
increased by $57 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same periods in 2000. These increases were primarily due to the
change in the earnings of LYONDELL-CITGO. CITGO's share of these earnings
increased $36 million, from $(12) million in the second quarter of 2000 to $24
million in the second quarter of 2001, and $44 million, from $(5) million in the
first six months of 2000 to $39 million in the first six months of 2001.
LYONDELL-CITGO's increased earnings in 2001 are primarily due to higher refining
margins that were partially offset by the impact of higher natural gas prices
and lower crude processing rates due to an unplanned production

                                       14


unit outage at the refinery. The earnings of the first six months of 2000 were
impacted by a major turnaround which occurred during the second quarter of 2000.

         Cost of sales and operating expenses. Cost of sales and operating
expenses decreased by $165 million or 3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. Cost of sales and operating expenses
decreased by $113 million or 1% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. (See PDV America's Cost of Sales and
Operating Expenses table above.)

         The Companies purchase refined products to supplement the production
from their refineries to meet marketing demands and resolve logistical issues.
Refined product purchases represented 58% and 55% of the total cost of sales and
operating expenses for the second quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively, and
55% and 53% of the total cost of sales and operating expenses for the first six
months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Companies estimate that margins on
purchased products, on average, are lower than margins on produced products due
to the fact that the Companies can only receive the marketing portion of the
total margin received on the produced refined products. However, purchased
products are not segregated from produced products of the Companies and margins
may vary due to market conditions and other factors beyond the Companies'
control. As such, it is difficult to measure the effects on profitability of
changes in volumes of purchased products. In the near term, other than normal
refinery turnaround maintenance, the Companies do not anticipate operational
actions or market conditions that might cause a material change in anticipated
purchased product requirements; however, there could be events beyond the
control of the Companies which impact the volume of refined products purchased.

         Gross margin. The gross margin for the three-month period ended June
30, 2001 was approximately 7.1 cents per gallon, compared to approximately 3.4
cents per gallon for the same period in 2000. The gross margin for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 5.4 cents per gallon, compared to
approximately 2.8 cents per gallon in the same period in 2000. In the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the revenue per gallon component
increased approximately 2% while the cost per gallon component decreased by
approximately 2%. As a result, the gross margin increased by approximately 3.7
cents on a per gallon basis in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to the
same period in 2000. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the revenue
per gallon component increased by approximately 1% while the cost per gallon
component decreased by approximately 2%. As a result, the gross margin increased
by approximately 2.6 cents on a per gallon basis in the six months ended June
30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. These results reflect improved
industry wide refining and marketing margins. The improved margins and high
refinery throughput during the second quarter of 2001 allowed the Companies to
generate the higher gross margins reported during the period.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased in the second quarter of 2001 by 29%, from $56
million in the second quarter of 2000 to $72 million in the second quarter of
2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first six
months of 2001 by 19%, from $103 million in the first six months of 2000 to $123
million in the same period in 2001. The difference is primarily due to an
increase in employee incentive compensation in 2001.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $10 million in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and decreased by $19 million in the first
six months of 2001 as compared to the same periods in 2000. This was primarily
due to the lower average amount outstanding under the revolving and short-term
borrowing facilities during the first six months of 2001 that was made possible
by cash flows from operating activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Companies'
consolidated net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately
$420 million. Operating cash flows were derived from net income of $373 million,
depreciation and amortization of $145 million and changes in working capital of
$(98) million. The more significant changes in working capital included the
decrease in accounts receivable, including receivables from affiliates, of
approximately $186 million, the increase in inventories of approximately $41
million, the increase in other long-term assets of approximately $42 million and
the decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities, including
payables to affiliates, of approximately $199 million.

         Net cash used in investing activities totaled $86 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 consisting primarily of capital
expenditures of $81 million, compared to $62 million for the same period in
2000.

         Net cash used in financing activities totaled $50 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 consisting primarily of $38 million net
repayment on short-term borrowings and the payment of capital lease obligations
of $17 million, offset by $16 million in proceeds from revolving bank loans.

         On May 11, 2001, CITGO renewed its $150 million 364-day revolving bank
loan facility for another term.

         On May 28, 2001, CITGO established an additional $25 million 364-day
revolving bank loan facility.

         As of June 30, 2001, capital resources available to the Companies
included cash generated by operations, available borrowing capacity under
CITGO's committed bank facilities of $559 million and $190 million of
uncommitted short-term borrowing facilities with various banks and $75 million
available borrowing capacity under PDVMR's revolving credit facility with
various banks. Additionally, the remaining $400 million from CITGO's shelf
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $600 million of
debt securities may be offered and sold from time to time. PDV America's
management believes that the Companies have sufficient capital resources to
carry out planned capital spending programs, including regulatory and
environmental projects in the near term, and to meet currently anticipated
future obligations as they arise. The Companies periodically evaluates other
sources of capital in the marketplace and anticipates that long-term capital
requirements will be satisfied with current capital resources and future
financing arrangements, including the issuance of debt securities. The
Companies' ability to obtain such financing will depend on numerous factors,
including market conditions and the perceived creditworthiness of the Companies
at that time.

        In April 2000, CITGO amended an agreement to sell trade accounts
receivable on an ongoing basis and without recourse. The amendment increased the
amount of such receivables that can be sold to $225 million. The amended
agreement was extended in April 2001 for one year and is renewable for
successive annual terms by mutual agreement.

         The Companies are in compliance with their obligations under their debt
financing arrangements at June 30, 2001.

New Accounting Standards

         On January 1, 2001 the Companies adopted the SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The
statement, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives, at fair value, as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position with an offset either to shareholder's equity
and comprehensive income or income depending upon the classification of the
derivative. Certain of the derivative instruments identified at January 1, 2001
under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 had been previously designated in hedging
relationships that addressed the variable cash flow exposure of forecasted
transactions. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, on January 1,
2001, the Companies recorded an after-tax, cumulative-effect-type transition
charge of $1.5 million to accumulated other comprehensive income related to
these derivatives. Certain of the derivative instruments identified at January
1, 2001, under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, had been previously designated in
hedging relationships that addressed the fair value of certain forward purchase
and sale commitments. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, on
January 1, 2001, the Companies recorded fair value adjustments to the subject
derivatives and related commitments resulting in the recording of a net
after-tax, cumulative-effect-type transition charge of $0.2 million to net
income. The remaining derivatives identified at January 1, 2001 under the
provisions of SFAS No. 133, consisting of certain forward purchases and sales,
had not previously been considered derivatives under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Under the transition
provisions of SFAS No. 133, on January 1, 2001, the Companies recorded an
after-tax, cumulative-effect-type benefit of $13.8 million to net income related
to these derivatives.

         PDV America did not elect subsequent hedge accounting for derivatives
existing at January 1, 2001. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of those
derivatives have been recorded in income. Prospectively, PDV America plans to
elect hedge accounting only under limited circumstances involving derivatives
with initial terms of 90 days or greater and notional amounts of $25 million or
greater.

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141") which addresses financial accounting and reporting for business
combinations and requires that all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. Use of the pooling of
interests method is no longer permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not
impact the Companies' financial position or results of operations.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") which
is fully effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, although
certain provisions of SFAS No. 142 are applicable to goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired in transactions completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS
No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and
other intangible assets and requires that goodwill and intangibles with an
indefinite life no longer be amortized but instead be periodically reviewed for
impairment. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will not impact the Companies'
financial position or results of operations.

Proposed Accounting Change

         The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued a
"Statement of Position" exposure draft on cost capitalization that is expected
to require companies to expense the non-capital portion of major maintenance
costs as incurred. The statement is expected to require that any existing
deferred non-capital major maintenance costs be expensed immediately. This
statement also has provisions that will change the method of determining
depreciable lives. The impact on future depreciation expense is not determinable
at this time. The exposure draft indicates that this change will be required to
be adopted for years beginning after June 15, 2002, and the effect of expensing
existing deferred major maintenance costs will be reported as a cumulative
effect of an accounting change in the consolidated statement of income. At June
30, 2001, PDV America had included turnaround costs of $106 million in other
assets. PDV America's management has not determined the amount, if any, of these
costs that could be capitalized under the provisions of the exposure draft.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         Introduction. The Companies have exposure to price fluctuations of
crude oil and refined products as well as fluctuations in interest rates. To
manage these exposures, management has defined certain benchmarks consistent
with its preferred risk profile for the environment in which the Companies
operate and finance its assets. The Companies do not attempt to manage the price
risk related to all of its inventories of crude oil and refined products. As a
result, at June 30, 2001, the Companies were exposed to the risk of broad market
price declines with respect to a substantial portion of its crude oil and
refined product inventories. The following disclosures do not attempt to
quantify the price risk associated with such commodity inventories.

         Commodity Instruments. CITGO balances its crude oil and petroleum
product supply/demand and manages a portion of its price risk by entering into
petroleum commodity derivatives.

         Debt Related Instruments. CITGO has fixed and floating U.S. currency
denominated debt. CITGO uses interest rate swaps to manage its debt portfolio
toward a benchmark of 40 to 60 percent fixed rate debt to total fixed and
floating rate debt. These instruments have the effect of changing the interest
rate with the objective of minimizing CITGO's long-term costs. At June 30, 2001,
CITGO's primary exposures were to LIBOR and floating rates on tax exempt bonds.

         For interest rate swaps, the table below presents notional amounts and
interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are
used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contracts.
