PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Quaker State Corporation ("Quaker State" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation formed in 1931, has its principal place of business at 225 E. John
Carpenter Freeway, Irving, Texas, following the relocation in 1995 from its
former headquarters in Oil City, Pennsylvania. Quaker State's dominant business
is the manufacture and sale of branded and private label motor oils and
lubricants and branded engine and fuel treatments (see "Motor Oil Division"
below). Quaker State's business segments also include fast lube operations, the
manufacture and sale of safety lighting equipment and docking operations (see "Q
Lube", "Truck-Lite" and "Docking Operations" below). Quaker State is no longer
engaged in natural gas and crude oil exploration and production, insurance or
coal operations (see "Discontinued Operations" below).
MOTOR OIL DIVISION
The Motor Oil Division manufactures and sells lubricants (primarily motor
oils for automobiles and trucks) and fuels. The lubricants include transmission
fluids, gear lubricants and greases for automobiles and trucks, as well as
specialty lubricants designed for other types of vehicles, such as sport utility
vehicles, marine craft, motorcycles and snowmobiles. The lubricants are sold
under the Quaker State brand name and certain private label and proprietary
brand names. The fuels sold by Quaker State include gasoline, fuel oils (diesel
fuel and heating oils) and kerosene. Quaker State also purchases and resells
automotive consumer products.
In September 1994, Quaker State completed the acquisition by merger of the
four Specialty Oil Companies into a wholly owned subsidiary named Specialty Oil
Company, Inc. ("Specialty") and the purchase of all of the capital stock of
Westland Oil Company, Inc. ("Westland"). Specialty and Westland are now part of
the Motor Oil Division. Through Specialty, Quaker State markets and distributes
private label, proprietary brand and major national brand lubricants and other
automotive aftermarket products. Through the Specialty Environmental Services
Division of Specialty, Quaker State provides collection, transportation and
recycling services for used oil, brake fluid and antifreeze and used oil filters
in certain regions of the United States. Westland blends and packages motor
oils, other lubricants and related products, which are sold primarily to
Specialty.
In July 1995, the Company acquired Slick 50, Inc. ("Slick 50"), a marketer
of automotive engine and fuel treatments and related automotive and industrial
chemicals, for approximately $22.6 million in cash, 1,260,403 shares of Quaker
State capital stock and approximately $11 million to satisfy certain debts of
Slick 50. Quaker State believes that Slick 50's engine treatment product is the
best selling engine treatment in the United States.
Manufacturing. Motor oils are made by blending additives with lubricant
stocks refined from crude oil. Quaker State's motor oils are made from lubricant
stocks produced at its Congo refinery located at Newell, West Virginia or from
lubricant stocks purchased from other refiners. The Congo refinery is specially
designed to maximize the production of lubricant stocks from Pennsylvania Grade
crude oil. Although it was built in 1971, the Congo refinery remains one of the
newer lubricant stock refineries in the United States, and it has sufficient
capacity to meet planned production requirements.
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, the following amounts of
Pennsylvania Grade crude oil were processed at the Congo refinery:
1995-3,944,000 barrels; 1994-3,919,000 barrels; and 1993-3,710,000 barrels.
Crude oil is available from a large number of suppliers. Quaker State purchases
most of its crude oil from suppliers with whom, for the most part, Quaker State
has been doing business for many years. During 1995, Quaker State purchased
crude oil from approximately 1,300 producers, including one producer which
accounted for approximately 11% of Quaker State's purchases. Purchases are made
pursuant to informal arrangements which may be terminated at any time or
pursuant to joint venture, operating, farm-out or similar agreements under which
Quaker State has the contractual right to purchase the crude oil if produced.
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, the weighted average price per
barrel of crude oil purchased by Quaker State was: 1995-$16.33; 1994-$15.59; and
1993-$16.17. A small portion of the crude oil processed by
2
3
Quaker State at the Congo refinery in 1995 was produced by Quaker State itself
(see "Discontinued Operations" below).
Approximately 42.5% of the lubricant stocks used in Quaker State branded
motor oils are produced at the Congo refinery. Some lubricant stocks produced at
the Congo refinery are sold to third parties.
Quaker State blends lubricant stocks with additives to produce motor oils
at the Congo refinery, and at blending and packaging plants owned and operated
by Quaker State in Vicksburg, Mississippi and Carson, California (near Los
Angeles).
Quaker State's Canadian subsidiary, Quaker State, Inc., owns and operates a
plant in Burlington, Ontario (near Toronto) to package blended motor oils
supplied by the Congo refinery.
Westland purchases lubricant base stocks and chemical additives, blends
them into finished lubricants and related products, and packages finished
lubricants and related products at a blending and packaging plant owned by
Quaker State in Shreveport, Louisiana and at a blending and packaging plant
owned by Westland in San Antonio, Texas.
Slick 50 purchases motor oils, additives and chemicals and contracts with
Gold Eagle Company of Chicago, Illinois to have these materials blended into
finished products in accordance with Slick 50's specifications.
Quaker State sells the majority of its branded motor oils (by volume) in
packages; however, it sells a significant amount in bulk. Packaged motor oils
are sold primarily in one quart plastic bottles, which are made by others to
Quaker State's specifications. Westland packages lubricants in containers
ranging in size from four ounces to 55 gallons and also sells lubricants in
bulk. Westland makes certain plastic containers itself and purchases its other
containers from a number of suppliers.
Greases and some specialty lubricants sold by Quaker State are made by
others to the Company's specifications.
Gasoline, fuel oils and kerosene account for approximately 57% of the
output (by volume) of the Congo refinery. Wax is also a by-product of the
refining process.
Raw materials other than crude oil and containers consist primarily of the
lubricant stocks produced by other refiners, chemicals, fuels and additives,
which are available from a number of sources. Availability of Pennsylvania Grade
crude oil depends primarily on the price which purchasers, including Quaker
State, are willing to pay, which in turn depends on the prevailing market prices
for all types of crude oil. The available supply of Pennsylvania Grade crude oil
has been declining for some time and is expected to continue to decline.
Although Quaker State believes that an adequate supply of Pennsylvania Grade
crude oil will be available for the Congo refinery for the near future, the
Company is studying the cost and availability of alternatives, should a shortage
occur.
Quaker State owns and operates a fleet of tank trucks to gather crude oil
produced in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania and transport it to the Congo
refinery or to a crude oil terminal and storage complex owned and operated by
Quaker State at Magnolia, Ohio. From there, crude oil flows through a pipeline
to the Congo refinery. Other crude oil is gathered by regulated pipeline
companies and barged to the Congo refinery.
Domestic Sales. Quaker State sells motor oils and other lubricants to
retailers directly and through independent distributors.
Direct sales are made to national and regional chain stores, to fast lube
centers and to resellers and end users primarily in large metropolitan areas.
The resellers include wholesalers and retailers, and the end users include
industrial and commercial accounts and fleet customers. In 1995, sales to
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliated companies exceeded 10% of Quaker
State's consolidated revenues.
As of December 31, 1995, there were 92 independent distributors selling
Quaker State products in all 50 states. Independent distributors resell to
service stations, retailers, automobile dealers, repair shops, fast lube
centers, automobile parts stores, retail food chains, fleet and commercial
customers and wholesale outlets.
3
4
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, the independent distributors
accounted for the following percentages of Quaker State's total branded motor
oil sales revenues in the United States: 1995-28.9%; 1994-33.6%; and 1993-35.3%.
The decline in 1995 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Specialty
Oil, which was formerly Quaker State's largest distributor.
Gasoline, fuel oils and kerosene are sold F.O.B. the Congo refinery to
wholesalers located for the most part in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Sales of automotive consumer products are made to the same entities to
which lubricant sales are made. The leading products are oil, air and fuel
filters. The Company also sells antifreeze, brake and power steering fluids,
fuel additives, spray lubricants and cleaners and automotive undercoatings.
Slick 50's products are sold through independent distributors or directly
to major national retailers.
Foreign and Export Sales. Quaker State, Inc. has sold Quaker State branded
motor oils in Canada for many years. Sales in Canada are made primarily through
independent distributors under contract with the Canadian subsidiary, but also
directly to customers. Quaker State believes that its motor oils are the largest
selling branded motor oil in Canada.
Quaker State sells branded motor oils in Japan through a Quaker State
subsidiary formed in 1990 and in Mexico through a licensee. Quaker State
believes that its motor oils are the largest selling independent brand in
Mexico.
Quaker State makes export sales of motor oils in 84 foreign countries
through independent distributors. Export sales have increased significantly
during the 1990s and efforts are being made to increase these sales further. The
largest amount of export sales is made in the Dominican Republic. During 1995,
Quaker State also made a significant part of its export sales to Ecuador,
Guatemala, Poland, Sweden and Taiwan.
Small amounts of greases, gear lubricants and automotive consumer products
such as filters and chemicals are exported to certain foreign countries.
Slick 50 products are sold in approximately 40 foreign countries, primarily
through distributors and by a direct sales unit in Japan.
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, total revenues from foreign
operations, including export sales, were: 1995-$81,558,000; 1994-$68,661,000;
and 1993-$55,436,000. The revenues for 1994 include Specialty revenues from the
time of acquisition and for 1995 include Slick 50 revenues from the time of
acquisition. The largest component of these revenues comes from Canada.
Marketing. Quaker State aggressively markets its branded lubricants, engine
and fuel treatments and automotive consumer products. In particular, Quaker
State relies heavily on media advertising to project the quality image of its
motor oils and other products and to maintain its competitive position.
In addition to media advertising, total marketing costs include sponsorship
of automobile racing teams, participation in automotive trade shows and
distribution of promotional materials. Quaker State also provides marketing
allowances to its customers and has incentive programs for its direct retail
customers and independent distributors.
Quaker State and its subsidiaries have trademark registrations or
applications in effect covering the use of the trademarks "Quaker State,"
"Quaker State 4X4," "Lubriguard," "Itasca," "Slick 50" and other product names,
logos and designs utilized in connection with the sale of their products. Quaker
State believes that these registrations and applications are important to the
success of its marketing efforts and have been effective in preventing use of
the trademarks by others. The trademark registrations expire at various dates,
but in each case may be renewed.
Operating Profit. During the three years ended December 31, 1995, the
operating profit, excluding unusual items, of the Motor Oil Division (including
the foreign operations) was: 1995-$33,522,000; 1994-$16,401,000 and
1993-$17,484,000. The increase in 1995 operating profits, compared to 1994,
resulted from recent acquisitions, improved product margins, reduced marketing
expenses and LIFO profits, partially
4
5
offset by property and equipment writedowns. Branded motor oil sales volume
increased in 1994, but operating profits were lower than in 1993 due to a change
in product mix and increased selling, marketing, freight and administrative
expenses.
Q LUBE
Quaker State, through its subsidiary Q Lube, Inc. (formerly known as Quaker
State Minit-Lube, Inc. and hereafter referred to as "Q Lube"), is one of the
largest operators and franchisors of fast lube centers in the United States.
Fast lube centers are service outlets providing quick and inexpensive oil
changes, lubrication and related services for automobiles. Q Lube was acquired
in November 1985. A former subsidiary, McQuik's Oilube, Inc., was acquired in
May 1989 and was merged into Q Lube in January 1996. The administrative offices
of Q Lube are located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As of December 31, 1995, there were 440 Q Lube stores in the United States,
of which 336 were owned or leased and operated by Q Lube and 104 were operated
by franchisees. The fast lube centers owned by Q Lube and its franchisees are
operated under the names Q Lube, McQuik's Oilube or Quaker State Minit-Lube.
The fast lube centers of Q Lube and its franchisees are located in 24
states primarily in the West, Midwest and Southeast. There are also 26 fast lube
centers in the Province of Ontario that are owned and operated or franchised by
a joint venture between Q Lube and another company.
Q Lube is one of Quaker State's largest customers. Quaker State supplies
most of the motor oils used and sold in the Q Lube centers, and these centers
are the largest users of Quaker State motor oils sold in bulk.
In September 1994, Q Lube entered into an agreement with Interline
Resources Corporation under which Q Lube obtained a license to use certain used
oil recovery technology. The first used oil recovery unit utilizing this
technology began operation in early 1996, and a number of additional units may
be constructed depending upon the operating results of this unit.
In 1992, Q Lube began to convert certain of its company-operated fast lube
centers to the name Q Lube, featuring heightened Quaker State identification.
Because of the success of the conversions, Q Lube intends to redesign virtually
all of its company-operated centers to Q Lube identification by the end of 1997.
As of December 31, 1995, approximately 62% of the company-operated centers were
identified by the Q Lube name.
Operating Profit. During the three years ended December 31, 1995, Q Lube's
operating profit was: 1995-$8,283,000; 1994-$5,726,000 and 1993-$3,045,000. The
increase in operating profit in 1995 resulted from increases in car counts and
the average ticket price. Operating profit in 1994 increased from 1993 as a
result of an increase in the number of cars serviced at company-owned centers.
TRUCK-LITE
Quaker State's subsidiary Truck-Lite Co., Inc. ("Truck-Lite") manufactures
vehicular safety lighting equipment, which is sold to original equipment
manufacturers and replacement parts distributors. Truck-Lite's product line
consists of custom designed safety and interior lights for passenger cars, light
trucks and vans; sealed and bulb replaceable stop, turn and indicator lights for
heavy-duty trucks; and sealed wiring harness systems for heavy-duty truck
trailers. In 1995, Truck-Lite began to exit the automotive original equipment
business and to increase its focus on the heavy duty truck and trailer lighting
business. This shift in strategy will continue in 1996. The administrative
offices of Truck-Lite are located in Falconer, New York.
Most of Truck-Lite's products for passenger cars, light trucks and vans are
manufactured in Falconer, New York. Most of the products for heavy-duty trucks
and truck trailers are manufactured in McElhattan and Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.
The Falconer and Wellsboro facilities are owned; the McElhattan facility is
leased.
Products for passenger cars, light trucks and vans are distributed from the
Falconer facility. Products for heavy-duty trucks and truck trailers are
distributed from leased distribution centers in McElhattan and
5
6
Sacramento, California. Truck-Lite also manufactures specially designed
heavy-duty lighting products for sale in Europe through a subsidiary formed for
this purpose.
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, Truck-Lite's operating
profit was: 1995-$9,823,000; 1994-$11,756,000; and 1993-$5,731,000. Operating
profit declined in 1995 due to softening in the automotive market which resulted
in reduced sales of automobile lighting products. Sales volume and operating
profit for 1994 reached record high levels for Truck-Lite.
DOCKING OPERATIONS
Quaker State's subsidiary Valley Camp, Inc. operates iron ore pellet and
potash terminals and a bulk materials handling dock accessible to Lake Superior
at Thunder Bay, Ontario.
During the three years ended December 31, 1995, the operating profit of the
docks business was: 1995- $943,000; 1994-$1,753,000; and 1993-$1,138,000. The
1994 results include a pretax gain due to termination of the pension plan at the
docking operations, which accounts for the lower operating profits in 1995 in
comparison to 1994.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For many years, Quaker State was engaged in the exploration for and
production of natural gas and crude oil and related activities. In the third and
fourth quarters of 1995, Quaker State sold most of its exploration and
production assets in several transactions for consideration totalling
approximately $67.7 million, with an after-tax gain of $12 million. The sales
included interests in 1,460 producing oil and gas wells in New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia; approximately 250,000 acres of leasehold
interests; certain gas-gathering lines and 10,000 acres of timber interests. For
further information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Quaker State's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders (the "1995
Annual Report").
From 1984 to 1994, Quaker State, through its subsidiary Heritage Insurance
Group, Inc. ("Heritage"), was engaged in the insurance business, including
credit life insurance, accident and health insurance and specialty indemnity
coverages for automobiles and consumer appliances. In August 1994, Quaker State
completed the sale of all of the capital stock of Heritage to General Electric
Capital Corporation for approximately $82 million after satisfaction of certain
intercompany obligations. For further information with respect to the
discontinued insurance operations, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the 1995 Annual Report.
From 1976 to 1992, Quaker State was engaged in coal operations through its
subsidiary The Valley Camp Coal Company ("Valley Camp"). In December 1992,
Valley Camp discontinued its coal operations and, accordingly, its operating
results were segregated and reported as discontinued coal operations in Quaker
State's 1992 Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reclamation work proceeded in
1995 at the mines formerly operated by two of Valley Camp's subsidiaries, as did
sales of the remaining assets related to the discontinued coal operations. As of
December 31, 1995, approximately $1,800,000 in assets of the discontinued coal
operations remained to be sold.

COMPETITION
The branded motor oil business is highly competitive. In the United States,
the major competitors of Quaker State and their principal brands of motor oil
are Pennzoil Company (Pennzoil), Ashland, Inc. (Valvoline), Texaco, Inc.
(Havoline) and Burmah Castrol PLC (Castrol). In foreign countries, Quaker State
competes with foreign manufacturers (including some that are government-owned)
and with its major U.S. competitors. Many of the competitors, particularly the
major integrated oil companies, have substantially greater finished motor oil
capacities and financial resources than Quaker State. The principal methods of
competition in the branded motor oil business and the engine additive business
are product quality, distribution capability, advertising and sales promotion.
Quaker State also competes with Pennzoil Company and Witco Chemical Corporation
in the purchase of Pennsylvania Grade crude oil.
In the sale of private label lubricants, Quaker State competes with
Ashland, Inc. and a number of small blending and packaging companies. The
principal methods of competition are product quality and price. In the waste oil
collection, transportation, management and recycling business, Quaker State
competes with Safety Kleen Corporation, International Petroleum Corp., the First
Recovery, Inc. division of Ashland, Inc. and a number of regional waste oil
haulers. The principal methods of competition are price, quality and reliability
of service.
The major competitors of Slick 50 and their principal brands of engine
additives are First Brands Corporation (STP), Howe Laboratories (Duralube) and
Hilton Oil Company (T-Plus).
The fast lube business is also highly competitive. The major competitors of
Quaker State are Jiffy Lube International, Inc. (a subsidiary of Pennzoil
Company) and Ashland, Inc. through its Valvoline Instant Oil Change centers. In
addition to competing with other fast lube centers, Q Lube competes with local
automobile dealers, service stations and garages. The principal methods of
competition are quality of service, price and sales promotion.
The market for vehicular safety lighting equipment is highly competitive.
Truck-Lite competes with other independent manufacturers including Grote
Industries, Inc., Peterson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and the Signal-Stat Division
of Federal Mogul Corporation, as well as with companies owned by truck and
automobile manufacturers. The principal methods of competition are quality,
price, delivery and technical innovation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development activities in the Motor Oil Division are directed
toward continued improvement of Quaker State motor oils, other lubricants and
engine additives and the development of new or improved automotive consumer
products. Research and development personnel develop quality control programs to
assure the continuous production of high quality products and provide extensive
technical services in the manufacturing, packaging, sales and marketing
operations as well as to customers. Research and development activities are also
conducted at Truck-Lite, to develop new products and to improve existing
products and processes. The amounts spent on research and development by Quaker
State during the three years ended December 31, 1995 are not material.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Environmental. Quaker State and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to
various federal, state and local air, water, land use and waste management laws
and regulations. In particular, these laws and regulations affect motor oil
manufacturing operations, used oil and other automotive fluids collection and
fast lube operations. In motor oil manufacturing, permits are required for the
discharge of water used in operations into navigable waters and for certain
hazardous waste activities. Air pollution regulations apply to emissions from
boilers. In the collection and transportation of used motor oil and other
automotive fluids, regulations govern the proper handling and disposition of
these materials. Federal regulations impose standards for storage tanks and tank
farms, recordkeeping and labeling requirements and management standards. In the
fast lube operations, waste management regulations apply to the disposition of
used motor oil and other petroleum products.
7
8
Truck-Lite's products are subject to regulations of the Federal Department
of Transportation that govern the brightness, placement and physical durability
of lighting.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures for pollution control facilities during the three
years ended December 31, 1995 were as follows: 1995-$2,653,000; 1994-$3,152,000
and 1993-$1,823,000. Capital expenditures for pollution control facilities
during 1996 are expected to amount to approximately $2,250,000.
The capital expenditures for pollution control facilities in 1995, 1994 and
1993 were primarily made for upgrading and replacing underground storage tanks
in Q Lube's operations, facilities associated with new drilling prior to the
sale of the discontinued natural gas and crude oil exploration and production
division and in 1995 the upgrading of bulk oil storage facilities at Specialty
and Westland. Anticipated expenditures in 1996 for pollution control facilities
include expenditures for continued upgrading and replacement of underground
storage tanks in the Q Lube operations and upgrading of bulk oil storage
facilities at Specialty and Westland.
Quaker State and certain of its subsidiaries have received notices from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "USEPA") and a similar state
agency that they may be responsible for response and cleanup costs with respect
to certain Superfund sites (see Item 3 of this annual report).
Quaker State sold its crude oil refinery at St. Mary's, West Virginia in
December 1987 and has provided certain indemnities with respect to the
environmental conditions at the refinery to a subsequent owner. In May 1990,
Quaker State sold its crude oil refinery at Farmers Valley, Pennsylvania and a
wax plant (formerly also a crude oil refinery) at Emlenton, Pennsylvania and
provided the purchaser with similar indemnities. Quaker State expects that it
will incur some expenditures related to these indemnities and also expects that
it will incur some expenditures for environmental conditions associated with its
discontinued coal and natural gas and oil exploration and production operations.
For further information with respect to environmental expenditures, see the
information under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis", and Notes
1, 10 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in the
1995 Annual Report.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, Quaker State and its subsidiaries had 4,757
full-time employees and 351 temporary and part-time employees.
Approximately 11% of the Company's full-time employees are represented by
various labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements are in effect with all of
the unions. The collective bargaining agreement covering the bargaining unit at
the Congo refinery expires in January 1999.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Information with respect to the location and general character of the
materially important principal properties of Quaker State and its subsidiaries,
identified by the business segments utilizing such properties, is included in
Item 1 of this annual report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Congo Refinery Environmental Litigation. In December 1993, the United
States commenced a lawsuit against Quaker State in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. The Amended Complaint alleges,
among other things, that Quaker State has violated the federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and the federal Clean Air Act at its
Congo, West Virginia refinery. The Amended Complaint alleges that several units
that are part of the plant wastewater treatment system also receive hazardous
waste and should properly be characterized and permitted as hazardous waste
8
9
surface impoundments. Quaker State has contended that these units are tanks and
are exempt from federal hazardous waste regulation.
The United States alleges that, if characterized as surface impoundments,
the structures have not had proper permits since 1980, that Quaker State has
violated various regulations relating to the structures and that Quaker State's
management of the units has constituted improper treatment and disposal of
hazardous wastes at various dates after 1980. The Amended Complaint also alleges
Clean Air Act violations pertaining to asbestos removal at the Congo refinery
during 1990, 1991 and 1992, violations of the State Implementation Plan since
November 1991 (relating to combustion of process and sour gas streams) and an
opacity violation in April 1993.
The Amended Complaint requests injunctive relief and civil penalties not
exceeding $25,000 for each day of violation of RCRA and the Clean Air Act.
Extensive discovery has been conducted by the parties to date. Quaker State and
the United States are engaged in settlement negotiations, but no final
settlement has been reached. If the case is not settled, a trial is scheduled to
begin in 1996. For further information with respect to this lawsuit, see the
information under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis", and Note
11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in the 1995
Annual Report.
CERCLA Matters. In December 1988, Q Lube received a notice from the USEPA
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), identifying Q Lube as a potentially responsible
party ("PRP") for response and cleanup costs with respect to a waste disposal
site known as the Petrochem/Ekotek Superfund Site in Salt Lake City, Utah. In
August 1989, Q Lube and 34 other respondents entered into a Consent Order under
which they agreed to fund the costs to clean up the surface of the contaminated
property. The respondents have advanced $10,000,000 toward these costs, of which
Q Lube's share to date has amounted to approximately $600,000. A comprehensive
remedial investigation and feasibility study of this site was recently
completed, discussions between the respondents and USEPA concerning a remedial
plan have occurred, and the USEPA will eventually issue its record of decision
containing a plan for further remediation of this site.
Quaker State and certain of its subsidiaries have received similar notices
from the USEPA under CERCLA that each may be a PRP responsible for cleanup costs
with respect to a waste disposal site identified by the USEPA. In addition,
Quaker State has received a similar notice from the California Department of
Toxic Substances Control (the "DTSC") under CERCLA as well as a California
statute. The USEPA and DTSC are conducting investigations regarding alleged
releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances from these sites and
have contacted all parties who may have arranged for the disposal, treatment or
transportation of hazardous substances to the sites.
For further information with respect to CERCLA matters, see the information
under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and Note 11 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 1995 Annual Report.
Penn Grade Crude Antitrust Litigation. In April 1994, Lazy Oil, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation, commenced a class action in the Federal District Court
for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Witco Corporation, Quaker State
and Pennzoil Company. Three similar actions were subsequently commenced and were
consolidated with the original action. The Consolidated Amended Complaint
alleges violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, based upon an allegation
that the defendants, since at least January 1, 1981, combined and conspired to
fix, lower, maintain and stabilize the purchase price of Pennsylvania Grade
crude oil purchased from the plaintiffs and others. The plaintiffs represent a
class of all persons who sold Pennsylvania Grade Crude oil to one or more of the
defendants during the period from January 1, 1981 to the present. The Amended
Complaint alleges that the applicable statute of limitations has been tolled by
a fraudulent concealment of the alleged combination and conspiracy.
The Amended Complaint seeks treble damages, an injunction and the recovery
of costs, including attorneys' fees. The defendants filed answers to the Amended
Complaint, denying all liability. In July 1995, the Court certified the
proceeding as a class action and denied a motion for summary judgment filed by
the defendants, without prejudice to renewal after the close of discovery.

10
In December 1995, the plaintiffs and Quaker State entered into a settlement
agreement compromising and settling all claims against Quaker State in the class
action. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Quaker State has paid $4,400,000
into a settlement fund, subject to return of up to $2,400,000 if at any time
before a jury is impaneled another defendant reaches a more favorable settlement
with the plaintiffs. A hearing on preliminary approval by the Court of the
settlement was held on March 7, 1996.
Quaker State vigorously denies the allegations made against it in the
litigation and entered into the settlement agreement without any admission of
liability on its part.
