         Castle Energy Corporation ("Castle" or "the Company"), the Registrant,
submits the following information:

ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets 

         On September 30, 1995, Powerine Oil Company ("Powerine"), one of the
Company's subsidiaries, completed the sale of its Powerine Refinery to Kenyen
Projects Limited ("Kenyen"), Houston, Texas, a private purchaser. The 49,500
barrel/day Powerine Refinery, located in Santa Fe Springs, California, was shut
down in July 1995. Castle understands that Kenyen intends to disassemble the
refining plant and reassemble it in India.

         In consideration for the Powerine Refinery, Powerine received
$3,000,000 in cash and a note in the principal amount of approximately
$19,600,000. The principal of the note and accrued interest are payable in three
equal installments on April 30, June 30, and September 30, 1996, and are secured
by the equipment sold. The purchaser is required to substitute a letter of
credit for such security by March 31, 1996. Powerine retained Powerine
Refinery's real property, certain other assets and all of Powerine's
liabilities. Powerine anticipates that it will use substantially all of the
proceeds of the sale to satisfy its obligations.

         On September 30, 1995, Castle announced that its agreement to sell the
Indian Refinery, an 86,000 barrel/day Refinery located in Lawrenceville,
Illinois which is owned by Indian Refining Limited Partnership ("IRLP"), a
Castle subsidiary, to CORE Refining Corporation ("CORE"), a company formed by
William S. Sudhaus, a director and the President of Castle, had been terminated
by mutual agreement between Castle and CORE. The agreement had been subject to
CORE's obtaining financing for the transaction, which, CORE had informed Castle,
CORE had been unable to obtain.

         As a result of the termination of the CORE agreement, and, in
accordance with previously announced plans, IRLP commenced the shutdown of the
Indian Refinery. The operations of the Indian Refinery were terminated as of
September 30, 1995.

         IRLP anticipates that it will seek to sell the plant and other assets
of the Indian Refinery. IRLP will use the proceeds of such sales to meet its
vendor and environmental obligations.

         Management believes that losses resulting from the retirement of the
Indian Refinery and from the sale of the Powerine Refinery, together with
current operating losses and existing net operating loss and depletion
carryforwards, will offset Castle's gain from its settlement with
Metallgesellschaft Corp. completed in October 1994 and result in Castle having a
net operating loss carryforward at September 30, 1995.

         Castle does not expect any material gain or loss during the fourth
quarter from the disposition of either the Powerine Refinery or the Indian
Refinery. The Company recorded anticipated net losses resulting from the
disposition of both refineries at December 31, 1994 and adjusted the net loss at
June 30, 1995 in anticipation of the sale of the Powerine Refinery.




         As a result of the sale of the Powerine Refinery and the abandonment of
the Indian Refinery, the Company has discontinued the operations of its refining
segment.

                            CASTLE ENERGY CORPORATION
                     INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         Effective September 30, 1995, Castle Energy Corporation ("Castle")
disposed of or retired both of its two refineries. The following pro forma
financial statements assume the disposition of both the Powerine Refinery and
the Indian Refinery occurred earlier than September 30, 1995.

         Powerine Oil Company ("Powerine"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, sold the Powerine Refinery to Kenyen Projects Limited ("Kenyen"), a
private purchaser, effective September 30, 1995. Since the disposition was
accomplished through the sale of the refining plant and related assets rather
than through the sale of the stock of Powerine, Powerine remains liable for
certain refinery closing costs, outstanding trade payables and environmental
liabilities. Powerine also retained ownership of real property and certain other
assets not sold to Kenyen.

         Indian Refining Limited Partnership ("IRLP"), another wholly-owned
subsidiary of Castle, retired the refining plant assets of the Indian Refinery
as of September 30, 1995 and anticipates selling such assets for salvage. As a
result, IRLP remains liable for certain refinery closing costs, outstanding
trade payables and environmental liabilities.

         The following pro forma consolidated balance sheet illustrates the
effects of the disposition of the Powerine Refinery and retirement of the Indian
Refinery, as though such events occurred on June 30, 1995. The following pro
forma consolidated statement of operations illustrates the effects of the
disposition and retirement of the Refineries as though such events occurred on
October 1, 1991. For financial and SEC reporting purposes, the Company first
reported the effects of the anticipated disposition of the Refineries at
December 31, 1994 and adjusted such effects at June 30, 1995 in anticipation of
the sale of the Powerine Refinery to Kenyen.

         The gain from the MG Settlement (described in the Company's September
30, 1994 Form 10-K,) has been included as a separate adjustment in the pro forma
consolidated financial statements because a) the decision to settle with MG
influenced in the Company's decision to sell its refining segment, b) the gain
from the MG settlement created a significant tax motivation for the Company to
sell its refining segment and c) the two transactions are, accordingly, related.

         THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY DO NOT PURPORT TO
REPRESENT WHAT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL POSITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD
ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN IF THE REFINERY DISPOSITION AND RETIREMENT IN FACT HAD
OCCURRED ON SUCH DATES OR TO PROJECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION OR
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF ANY FUTURE DATE OR FOR ANY FUTURE PERIOD. The pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The pro forma consolidated statements and accompanying notes should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company
and notes thereto and the other financial information regarding the Company.

(a)  Reflects the disposition of the Powerine Refinery and the retirement of the
     Indian Refinery. Since the Company's refining subsidiaries are selling or
     retiring their refining plants and some related assets rather than the
     Company selling the stock of the refining subsidiaries, the refining
     subsidiaries continue to own working capital, some assets and environmental
     liabilities related to the refining segment. All such remaining refining
     assets and liabilities applicable to the refining segment except for
     environmental liabilities have been aggregated as under the heading,
     "Refining segment assets held for disposal, net" because the Company
     anticipates that such assets and liabilities will be realized as the
     refineries are sold and closed over the next year. Environmental
     liabilities have not been included in such heading because it is not
     anticipated that such liabilities will be satisfied in the next year even
     though such liabilities pertain to the refining segment. As noted in the
     Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1995, the Company has
     accrued both estimated costs to close the refineries and estimated proceeds
     from the sale of the refining plants and related assets.

     The deferred tax asset at June 30, 1995 has been reversed to the extent of
     the tax effect of losses which would have been realized had the Refineries
     been disposed of or retired on June 30, 1995 rather than on September
     30, 1995, the actual date of disposition/retirement.

(a)  Gives retroactive effect to the disposition/retirement of the Company's
     Refineries and the discontinuance of the Company's refining segment
     operations as though the events occurred on October 1, 1994.

(b)  Adjusts the Company's tax provision such that the resulting tax provision
     reflects income tax expense related to the Company's non-refining business
     segments. Net operating loss carryforwards applicable to such non-refining
     segments effectively reduce the tax provision to zero.

(c)  Reflects the reduction in outstanding shares that would have occurred if
     the Company had not paid debt issuance costs and processing/offtake
     agreement issuance costs applicable to the refining segment through
     issuance of its own shares. As a result of the MG Settlement (described in
     the Company's September 30, 1994 Form 10-K) such shares were later returned
     to the Company.

(d)  Gives retroactive effect to the MG Settlement (which closed on October 14,
     1994) as though such settlement had closed on October 1, 1994. As a result
     of the MG Settlement, among other things, MG released the Company from
     certain debt and assumed certain debt, resulting in a $391,135 gain to the
     Company.

(e)  Reverses the loss provision for the disposition of its refining assets
     recorded by the Company.

                      NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                            STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                         YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1992

(a)  Gives retroactive effect to the disposition/retirement of the Company's
     Refineries and the discontinuance of the Company's refining segment
     operations as though the events occurred on October 1, 1991.

(b)  Adjusts the Company's tax provision such that the resulting tax provision
     reflects income tax expense related to the Company's non-refining business
     segments. Net operating loss carryforwards applicable to such non-refining
     segments effectively reduce the tax provision to zero.

(c)  Reflects the reduction in outstanding shares that would have occurred if 
     the Company had not paid debt issuance costs and processing/offtake
     agreement issuance costs applicable to the refining segment through
     issuance of its own shares. As a result of the MG Settlement (described in
     the Company's September 30, 1994 Form 10-K) such shares were later returned
     to the Company.
