1.   In the opinion of management of Quaker State Corporation (the company),
     the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are
     necessary to a fair statement of the results for such periods. All of
     these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These statements
     should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included as a
     part of the 1993 annual report on Form 10-K. In accordance with insurance
     industry practice, the assets and liabilities for the insurance operations
     have not been classified as current or noncurrent.

2.   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined
     on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for all crude oil, the majority of
     company refined petroleum and vehicular lighting products; and on the
     first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis for other inventories.  The reserve to
     reduce the carrying value of inventories from FIFO basis to LIFO basis
     amounted to $19,387,000 at June 30, 1994, and $19,090,000 at December 31,
     1993.

3.   Heritage is an insurance holding company principally engaged, through its
     subsidiaries, in the business of credit life, accident and health, and
     special indemnity insurance closely associated with automobile sales.

         On May 12,1994 the company and GE Capital Corporation signed a
     definitive agreement for the sale of Quaker State's wholly owned Heritage
     Insurance Group subsidary to GE Capital for $85,000,000 in cash.  Under
     the agreement, GE Captial will acquire 100 percent of the stock in
     Heritage. Accordingly, the operating results of the insurance business
     have been segregated and reported as a discontinued operation in the
     accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ending
     June 30, 1994.  Prior year and prior period financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The
     transaction, subject to state and federal regulatory approval, is expected
     to close in the third quarter this year. The company expects a gain from
     this transaction.

         Heritage's condensed income statements for the quarter and six months
     ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are presented below:

        Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted Statement of Financial
  Accounting Standards No.  115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
  Equity Securities" which addresses the accounting and reporting for
  investments in equity securities that have readily determinable values and
  for investments in debt securities. This Standard did not have a material
  impact on the company's financial position and results of operations.
        The effect of reinsurance transactions on the Consolidated Statement of
  Operations for premiums written and earned for the quarter and six months
  ended June 30, 1994 are as follows (in thousand):

        Recoveries of policy and contract benefit expense recognized under
  reinsurance contracts for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 and
  1993 respectively, was $4,913,000 and $9,639,000, and $6,812,000 and
  $15,929,000. For information regarding the nature and purpose of reinsurance
  transactions, reference should be made to the 1993 Annual Report.

4.   In December 1993, the United States of America commenced a lawsuit against
     the company in the U.S.  District Court for Northern West Virginia. The
     complaint alleges the company violated the federal Resource Conservation
     and Recovery Act and the federal Clean Air Act at the Congo refinery on
     various dates starting in 1980 and seeks civil penalties as allowable
     under federal law not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. The
     company intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit. However, the
     ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. A
     provision of $1,000,000 was established in the first quarter for costs
     associated with the pending litigation.

         In addition, 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 April 1994, three purported class actions were commenced in the
     Federal District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against
     Witco Corporation, Quaker State Corporation and Pennzoil Company. The
     complaints allege violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The company
     believes there is no basis for the allegations in the complaints and
     intends to defend these matters vigorously.

         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 when resolved.

5.   The effective income tax rate of 41% for continuing operations for the six
     months ended June 30, 1994 is higher than the 35% federal rate due to
     increased income and the added impact of state and foreign taxes. The 1994
     six month effective tax rate of 41% for continuing operations is higher
     than the 1993 restated effective tax rate of 21% due to higher income, an
     enacted federal rate change in 1993 that increased the value of deferred
     tax assets in 1993, 1993 net adjustments to valuation allowance and other
     1993 credits.

                                                                         (more)

6.   On May 12, 1994 the company's stockholders approved the 1994 Stock
     Incentive Plan. The number of shares which may be issued under this plan
     is 1,250,000 and the plan includes stock options, alternative stock
     appreciation rights, cash payment rights, restricted shares, performance
     shares and other share awards. In 1994 65,800 restricted performance
     shares were granted under this plan to key employees subject to forfeiture
     if certain three year performance goals are not met. As a result of the
     grant of these restricted shares, the company recorded $909,000 as
     unearned compensation in the equity section of the  Consolidated Balance
     Sheet. This unearned compensation is being amortized on a straight line
     basis as compensation expense over the performance cycle period.

7.   On August 4, 1994 Quaker State Corporation and the Specialty Oil Companies
     of Shreveport, Lousiana, announced that they signed definitive agreements
     for Quaker State to acquire the privately owned Specialty Oil Companies
     and related assets. The acquisition will be made through separate stock
     exchange and cash merger agreements for an aggregate consideration of
     4,000,000 newly issued shares of Quaker State common stock (believed to be
     non-dilutive) and approximately $25,000,000 in cash and the assumption of
     certain outstanding indebtedness of the acquired companies. Quaker State
     has also agreed to purchase related assets for approximately $10,000,000.
     The closing is expected to occur prior to the end of the third quarter,
     subject to obtaining necessary third party consents and regulatory
     approvals.

                   QUAKER STATE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

                                   -------

     The consolidated financial statements and related notes including
information about Quaker State Corporation's (the company) operations in
different segments included in this Form 10-Q should be read as an integral
part of this review.

                                   -------

     Quaker State Corporation reported second quarter net income of $5,069,000,
or $.19 per share compared to $4,381,000, or $.16 per share, in the same
quarter last year. Six month net income was $10,652,000, or $.39 per share,
versus $7,784,000, or $.29 per share in 1993. Sales and operating revenues from
continuing operations in 1994 were $168,192,000 and $343,670,000 for the
quarter and six months compared to $163,722,000 and $314,090,000 for the same
periods last year. Operating profits from continuing operations in 1994
increased 24%, to $11,666,000 in the second quarter and 32%, to $23,090,000,
for the first six months. The six month revenue, operating profit and net
income improvements are based primarily on sales volume increases at the major
business segments.

     On May 12, 1994 the company and GE Capital Corporation signed a definitive
agreement for the sale of Quaker State's wholly owned Heritage Insurance Group
subsidiary to GE Capital Corporation for $85,000,000 in cash. According to the
agreement GE Capital Corporation will acquire 100 percent of the stock in
Heritage Insurance Group. As a result the insurance operations have been
accounted for as a discontinued operation on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the period ending June 30, 1994, and its operating results have
been segregated and reported as discontinued insurance operations. Prior year
and prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to this
presentation. The transaction, subject to state and federal regulatory
approval, is expected to close in the third quarter of this year. The company
expects a gain from this transaction (Refer to Note 3).

     In the second quarter of 1994 the motor oil division revenues and
operating profits declined 3% and 44% to $112,366,000 and $3,064,000.  A 9%
drop in branded motor oil sales volume and reduced refinery product margins for
gasoline, fuel oil and lube stock sales primarily accounts for the decline in
second quarter operating results. In the first six months of 1994 revenues
increased 7% over 1993, to $235,047,000. Branded motor oil volume increased 7%
for the six months to primarily account for the higher revenues. Six month
automotive consumer product sales increased 26% over 1993 while refinery lube
stock and fuels sales volumes increased 9% and 15% over last year. The average
sales price of refinery lube stocks and fuels declined 7% and 9% for the six
months ended June 30, 1994. Operating profits did not follow the six month
increase in

                                  ----------

revenues as they were down 12%, to $8,268,000. This resulted from increases in
expenses of approximately $10,400,000 for aggressive share-building marketing
expenses, higher selling expenses geared towards developing additional sales
volume and higher freight from additional volume. Results also include a
$1,000,000 charge to a reserve for probable expenses associated with the
December 1993 lawsuit filed against the company for alleged violations at the
Congo refinery (Refer to Note 4.). Increases since January 1, 1994 for the cost
of crude oil, packaging and additives also had a negative impact on operating
profits. A price increase for branded motor oil products announced to take
effect September 1 is expected to partially offset the negative impact of these
increased costs.

     The fast lube segment reported second quarter operating profits of
$1,478,000 on sales and operating revenues of $27,967,000 compared to profits
of $613,000 on revenues of $25,832,000 last year. Year-to-date operating
profits were $2,779,000 on revenues of $54,126,000 compared to profits of
$958,000 on revenues of $51,034,000 last year. Car counts in 1994 increased 8%
and 7% for the three and six months ended June 30. A 10% decrease in
administrative expenses for the six months also contributed to the improved
results.

     Operating profits in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 at
the natural gas exploration and production business were $2,304,000 and
$4,140,000 compared to $1,203,000 and $3,027,000 in 1993. Revenues increased
21% to $7,940,000 in the second quarter while year-to-date revenues of
$15,603,000 increased 15% over 1993. Natural gas sales volume increased 27% and
20% for the second quarter and first six months and included deliveries made
through the new Stagecoach pipeline, while average sales prices were up
approximately 6% for the period ending June 30, 1994. Second quarter and
year-to-date crude oil sales volumes were down 11% and average sales prices
were off 15% and 21%. The posted price of crude oil sold has improved from
$13.50 per barrel at the beginning of 1994 to $18.00 per barrel at June 30,
1994.

     Truck-Lite operating profits in 1994 of $4,570,000 and $7,434,000
increased 149% and 108% over the second quarter and first six months of 1993.
Significantly higher sales volume in both the automotive and original equipment
truck and trailer businesses accounts for the improved operating results and
revenue increases of 27% for the quarter to $26,558,000 and 23% for the six
months to $51,218,000.

                   QUAKER STATE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
   Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

                                   --------

     Corporate interest expense of $2,318,000 for the first six months of 1994
is down 20% from last year due to lower average debt in 1994. Corporate
expenses of $9,532,000 for the first six months of 1994 are up 4% primarily due
to higher postretirement, performance incentive and legal expenses partially
offset by declines in salary and other employee benefit expenses.

     Income, net of taxes, from discontinued insurance operations in the second
quarter was $1,521,000 compared to $2,087,000 in 1993. Year-to-date income was
$3,285,000 compared to $3,659,000 last year. A reduction in realized investment
gains of $1,858,000 and $2,542,000 for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1994, partially offset by improved operating results, accounts for the
decrease in income from discontinued insurance operations.

     Cash provided by operations for the first six months of 1994 was
$19,069,000 compared to $23,894,000 in 1993. This decrease resulted from higher
working capital requirements. Net cash used by coal activities was $8,868,000
in the first six months.  Investing activities included proceeds from the sale
of property and equipment of $3,112,000 of which $1,568,000 related to the
discontinued coal operations. Investing activities also included capital
