                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

   Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are subject to the safe
harbor provisions of this legislation. Words such as "expects," "intends,"
"plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions typically
identify such forward-looking statements.

   Even though the Company believes its expectations regarding future events
are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance. There are many reasons why actual results
could, and probably will, differ from those contemplated in the Company's
forward-looking statements. These include, among others, changes in:

  . industry-wide refining margins;

  . crude oil and other raw material costs, embargoes, industry expenditures
    for the discovery and production of crude oil, military conflicts
    between, or internal instability in, one or more oil-producing countries,
    and governmental actions;

  . market volatility due to world and regional events;

  . availability and cost of debt and equity financing;

  . labor relations;

  . U.S. and world economic conditions;

  . supply and demand for refined petroleum products;

  . reliability and efficiency of the Company's operating facilities. There
    are many hazards common to operating oil refining and distribution
    facilities. Such hazards include equipment malfunctions, plant
    construction/repair delays, explosions, fires, oil spills and the impact
    of severe weather;

  . actions taken by competitors which may include both pricing and expansion
    or retirement of refinery capacity;

  . civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or
    proceedings, and regulations dealing with protection of the environment,
    including refined petroleum product composition and characteristics;

  . other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed.

   Because of all of these uncertainties and others, you should not place
undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements.

                               EXPLANATORY NOTE

   This Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

Item 1 and 2. Business; Properties

General

   Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Clark R&M" or the
"Company") is currently one of the five largest independent refiners of
petroleum products in the United States based on rated crude oil throughput
capacity. The Company has over 547,000 barrels per day of rated crude oil
throughput capacity at its two Illinois, one Texas and one Ohio refineries. In
July 1999, Clark R&M sold its 672 company-operated retail outlets to a company
controlled by Apollo Management L.C. ("Apollo"), and in November 1999, Clark
R&M sold 15 distribution terminals to Equilon Enterprises, L.L.C. and its
subsidiary ("Equilon"). Both transactions are part of a strategy to focus on
refining operations, which the Company believes will offer higher potential
future returns.

   Clark R&M was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 as Clark Oil & Refining
Corporation. Its principal executive offices are at 8182 Maryland Avenue, St.
Louis, Missouri, 63105 and its telephone number is (314) 854-9696. As part of
the transaction with Apollo, the Clark trade name was sold. As a result, the
Company will change its name in 2000.

   Clark R&M is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clark USA, Inc. ("Clark USA"),
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clark Refining Holdings Inc. ("Clark
Holdings"). Much of the debt of Clark USA and Clark R&M is publicly traded.
Clark Holdings' equity is privately-held and controlled by Blackstone Capital
Partners III Merchant Banking Fund L.P. and its affiliates ("Blackstone")
through a 78.7% voting interest (75.3% economic interest) as of December 31,
1999. Originally, Blackstone acquired an interest in Clark USA from Trizec
Hahn Corporation (formerly The Horsham Corporation, "TrizecHahn") in November
1997. Clark Holdings' other principal shareholder is an affiliate of
Occidental Petroleum Corporation ("Oxy") with a 19.9% voting interest (23.4%
economic interest) as of December 31, 1999. Oxy acquired an interest in Clark
USA in November 1995 in exchange for rights to future crude oil deliveries
that the Company subsequently sold. Blackstone and Oxy exchanged their Clark
USA shares for Clark Holdings shares in May 1999 to facilitate, among other
things, the construction and financing of a project initiated by the Company
to upgrade its Port Arthur, Texas refinery to be able to process more lower-
cost, heavy sour crude oil. The Company sold a substantial portion of this
project in August 1999 to Port Arthur Coker Company L.P., a subsidiary of
Clark Holdings.

Business Strategy

   Clark R&M is focused on becoming a world class refiner to capture the
manufacturing value created in refining crude oil into gasoline, diesel fuel,
jet fuel, and other petroleum products. Demand for these products has grown at
consistent rates since the mid-1980's and the Company believes that the excess
capacity resulting from the oil crises of the 1970's and early 1980's have now
been almost fully absorbed. Clark R&M has a disciplined business approach with
a strategy that has been consistently focused towards the following:

 .  Improving Productivity with Minimum Capital

   The Company continues to implement relatively no or low-cost initiatives
designed to increase production, sales volumes and production yields and to
improve its sales mix while reducing input costs and operating expenses.
Examples of these types of initiatives include improvements at the Port Arthur
refinery, other than the heavy oil upgrade project, increased yields and crude
oil throughput capability at its Illinois refineries and the creation of value
within the retail marketing business and subsequent harvesting of that value
to be deployed into expected higher return uses.

 .  Adding Scale Through Acquisitions at Fractions of Replacement Costs

   The Company intends to continue to seek to add scale to its refining
operations through the selective acquisition of low-cost, quality assets.
Since 1994, the Company has almost quadrupled its refining capacity with

                                       2
<PAGE>

the acquisition of the Port Arthur refinery in 1995 and the Lima refinery in
1998. The Company believes there may be additional acquisition opportunities
in the future due to continued consolidation in the industry.

 .  Optimizing Capital Investment through a Rigorous Project Review and
   Implementation Process

   The Company emphasizes an entrepreneurial approach to perceived mandatory
expenditures, such as those required to comply with reformulated and low-
sulfur fuel regulations. For example, the Company may seek to comply with such
regulations through the access of alternative markets for existing products if
adequate returns on capital investment needed to comply with such regulations
are not assured. Discretionary capital expenditures are managed by linking
capital investment to internally generated cash flow. The Company seeks to
minimize investment risk, while maximizing project returns and most projects
approved in the past three years have indicated paybacks of less than four
years.

 .  Maintaining Strong Liquidity and Financial Flexibility

   Earnings in the Company's industry have been volatile. As a result of this
volatility the Company has historically maintained significant liquidity and
utilized long-term financing when possible while retaining some prepayment
flexibility. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cash and short-term
investments of approximately $286 million and no material long-term debt
maturities prior to 2003.

 .  Promoting Entrepreneurial Culture

   An overall approach in optimizing the above strategies and enhancing
financial performance and safety is to promote an entrepreneurial culture
where employee incentives are aligned with performance objectives. All of the
Company's employees participate in its performance management, profit sharing
or other incentive plans, and the Company has a stock incentive plan for
certain key employees.

Overview

   In addition to four refineries, the Company owns a product terminal, two
crude oil terminals, an LPG terminal and crude oil pipeline interests. The
following table shows the rated crude oil throughput capacities of the
Company's four refineries in barrels per day as of December 31, 1999:

</TABLE>

   The Company's principal refined products are gasoline, on and off-road
diesel fuel, jet fuel, residual oil and petroleum coke. Gasoline, on-road (low
sulfur) diesel fuel and jet fuel are principally used for transportation
purposes. Off-road (high sulfur) diesel fuel is principally used as a fuel for
agriculture and trains. Residual oil (slurry oil and vacuum tower bottoms) is
used mainly for heavy industrial fuel (e.g., power generation) and in the
manufacturing of roofing flux or for asphalt used in highway paving. Petroleum
coke is a by-product of the coking process and is a coal-like substance that
can be burned for power generation. The Company also produces many unfinished
petrochemical products that are sold to neighboring chemical plants at the
Port Arthur and Lima refineries. Most of the Company's products are sold in
the eastern half of the U.S.

   The Company currently sells gasoline and diesel fuel on an unbranded basis
to approximately 525 distributors and chain retailers through third-party
facilities. The Company believes these sales offer higher profitability than
spot market alternatives. Wholesale sales are also made to the transportation,
agricultural and commercial sectors, including airlines, railroads, barge
lines and other industrial end-users. Fuel sales to all channels of trade
focus on maximizing netback realizations (revenue less all distribution and
working capital investment costs).

 Port Arthur Refinery

   The Port Arthur refinery is located in Port Arthur, Texas, approximately 90
miles east of Houston, on a 4,000-acre site. The Port Arthur refinery was
acquired from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in February 1995. The Port Arthur refinery
has the ability to process 100% sour crude oil, including up to 20% heavy
crude oil, and has coking capabilities. Heavy sour crude oil has historically
been available at substantially lower cost when compared to light sweet crude
oil such as West Texas Intermediate ("WTI"). The Port Arthur refinery's Texas
Gulf Coast location provides access to numerous cost-effective domestic and
international crude oil sources that can be accessed by waterborne delivery or
through Sun Pipe Line. The Port Arthur refinery can produce conventional
gasoline, 100% low-sulfur diesel fuel and jet fuel. The refinery's products
can be sold in the Mid-continent and Eastern U.S. as well as in export
markets. These markets can be accessed through the Explorer, Texas Eastern and
Colonial pipelines or by ship or barge.

   The Company has an agreement to exchange certain refined products and
chemicals at market prices with Chevron Chemical Company, which exchanged
amounts averaged approximately 24,000 bpd from 1996 through 1999. This
contract is cancelable upon 18 months notice by either party or by mutual
agreement.

   Since acquiring the Port Arthur refinery, the Company increased crude oil
throughput capability from approximately 178,000 bpd to its current 232,000
bpd and immediately lowered operating expenses by approximately 50c per
barrel.

 Port Arthur Upgrade Project

   In March 1998, the Company entered into a long-term crude oil supply
agreement with PMI Comercio Internacional, S.A. de C.V. ("PMI"), an affiliate
of Petroleos Mexicanos, the Mexican state oil company. As a result of this
contract, the Company began developing a project to upgrade the Port Arthur
refinery to process primarily lower-cost, heavy sour crude oil of the type to
be purchased from PMI. The heavy oil upgrade project includes the construction
of new coking, hydrocracking and sulfur removal capability, and the expansion
of the existing crude unit to approximately 250,000 barrels per day. In August
1999, the Company sold for $157.1 million the construction work-in-progress on
the new processing units to Port Arthur Coker Company L.P., an affiliate that
is not controlled by the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company also sold
for $2.2 million the oil supply agreement with PMI and environmental permits
which had already been obtained by the Company to Port Arthur Coker Company
L.P. The assets were sold at cost, which approximated fair market value. As
part of

                                       5
<PAGE>

the project the Company is undertaking the upgrading of existing units at the
Port Arthur refinery, including the expansion of the crude unit. The Company's
portion of the project is expected to cost approximately $120 million, of
which $50.7 million was expended through December 31, 1999. As of December 31,
1999, the Company had a letter of credit to the benefit of Foster Wheeler USA
for $86.9 million to collateralize its obligations related to the Port Arthur
heavy oil upgrade project.

   The heavy oil upgrade project is expected to be mechanically complete by
November 2000 with start-up of the project in the first quarter of 2001. The
Company entered into agreements with Port Arthur Coker Company L.P. pursuant
to which the Company will provide certain operating, maintenance and other
services and purchase the output from the new coking and hydrocracking
equipment for further processing into finished products. The Company will
receive compensation under these agreements at fair market value that is
expected to be, in the aggregate, favorable to the Company.

 Lima Refinery

   The Lima refinery is located in Lima, Ohio, approximately halfway between
Toledo and Dayton, on a 650-acre site. Most of the processing units in the
Lima refinery have been rebuilt since 1970, making the Lima refinery
relatively young among Midwest refineries.

   In 1996, British Petroleum ("BP") unsuccessfully attempted to sell the Lima
refinery and announced they would close the refinery in two years. Despite
such announcement, BP continued to invest at near historical levels for
maintenance operating expenses and mandatory capital expenditures during 1997.
The Company acquired the Lima refinery, related terminal facilities and non-
hydrocarbon inventory from affiliates of BP in August 1998 for $175 million
plus approximately $35 million for hydrocarbon inventory and $7 million in
assumed liabilities, principally related to employee benefits (the "Lima
Acquisition").

   The Lima refinery is highly automated and modern with a Nelson complexity
rating of 8.7 and an estimated replacement cost of $1.2 billion. The Lima
refinery is large enough to realize economies of scale and other efficiencies.
The Midwest location of the refinery has historically provided it with a
transportation cost advantage and less gross margin volatility than refineries
in other regions since demand for refined products has exceeded supply in the
region.

   The Lima refinery was designed to process light, sweet crude oil, but the
refinery does have coking capability allowing it to upgrade lower-valued
products. The Lima refinery obtains 100% of its crude oil supply by pipeline
from a variety of domestic and foreign sources. The Mid-Valley, Salem-Stoy-
Lima (SSL) and Marathon pipeline systems provide final delivery capability to
the refinery. These pipelines allow ultimate connection to the Capline,
Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, Mobil, Ozark, Interprovincial, West Texas Gulf
and other pipeline systems. The Lima refinery can produce conventional
gasoline, high sulfur diesel fuel, jet fuel and certain specialty chemical
products. Products can be distributed through the Buckeye and Inland Pipeline
systems and by rail, truck or non-owned terminal. The Buckeye system allows
access to markets in Northern/Central Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Western
Pennsylvania. The Inland Pipeline System is a private intra-state system
jointly owned by BP, Shell, Unocal and Sun and available solely for their use.
Clark has access to this private system through BP.

 Illinois Refineries

   Product pipelines connect the Illinois refineries, increasing their
flexibility relative to stand-alone operations. Both refineries are situated
on major water transportation routes that provide flexibility to receive crude
oil or intermediate feedstocks by barge when economical. The Company believes
that the Midwest location of these refineries has provided relatively high
refining margins with less volatility than comparable operations located in
other regions of the U.S., principally because demand for refined products has
exceeded production in the region. This excess demand has been satisfied by
imports from other regions, providing Midwest refineries with a transportation
advantage.

 Blue Island Refinery

   The Blue Island refinery is located on the Cal-Sag canal in Blue Island,
Illinois, approximately 17 miles south of Chicago on a 170-acre site. The Blue
Island refinery was designed to process light, sweet crude oil, but can
process up to 25% light sour crude oil. The Blue Island refinery can receive
Canadian crude oil through the Lakehead pipeline from Canada, foreign and
domestic crude oil through the Capline pipeline system originating in the
Louisiana Gulf Coast region, and domestic crude oil originating in West Texas,
Oklahoma and the Rocky Mountains through the Arco pipeline system. The Blue
Island refinery has among the highest capabilities to produce gasoline
relative to the other refineries in its market area. During most of the year,
gasoline is the most profitable refinery product. The Blue Island refinery can
produce conventional gasoline, up to 60% RFG, high sulfur diesel fuel and
residual fuel. It can also produce 30% low-sulfur diesel fuel when market
prices warrant and based on the clean fuels attainment of the Company's total
refining system. Products can be distributed through the Wolverine, West
Shore, Badger, Transmontaigne and Marathon pipeline systems or by barge.

   Since 1992, the Company has increased the crude oil throughput capability
at the Blue Island refinery by approximately 10,000 bpd, introduced light sour
crude oil as a lower-cost feedstock, improved the fluid catalytic cracking
("FCC") unit operation and introduced the capability to produce RFG.

 Hartford Refinery

   The Hartford refinery is located on the Mississippi River in Hartford,
Illinois, approximately 17 miles northeast of St. Louis, on a 400-acre site.
The Hartford refinery includes a coker unit and, consequently, has the ability
to process a variety of crude oil including lower-cost, heavy sour crude oil
into higher-value products such as gasoline and diesel fuel. The Hartford
refinery has the capability to process approximately 60% heavy sour crude oil
and 25% medium sour crude oil. This upgrading capability allows the refinery
to benefit from higher margins if heavy sour crude oil is priced at a
significant discount to light sweet crude oil. The Hartford refinery has
access to foreign and domestic crude oil supplies through the Capline/Capwood
pipeline systems and access to Canadian crude oil through the Express pipeline
and the Mobil/IPL pipeline system. The Hartford refinery can produce
conventional gasoline, high sulfur diesel fuel, residual fuel and petroleum
coke. Products can be distributed through the Marathon/Wabash and Explorer
pipeline systems or by barge.

   Since 1992, the Company has increased the crude oil throughput capability
at the Hartford refinery by approximately 10,000 bpd, improved overall liquid
recovery by approximately 3%, improved FCC unit yields by approximately 3%,
increased higher-valued crude unit yields by approximately 2,000 bpd and
dramatically reduced combined "recordable" and "days away from work" rates
from 27 in 1990 to an average of less than three during 1999.

 Terminals and Pipelines

   In December 1999, the Company sold 15 refined product terminals to Equilon.
The Company owns one refined product terminal associated with the Blue Island
refinery and a 1.1 million-barrel crude oil terminal associated with the Lima
refinery. The Company also owns a crude oil terminal and an LPG terminal with
a combined capacity of approximately 7.2 million barrels associated with the
Port Arthur refinery in Texas. The Company enters into refined product
exchange agreements with unaffiliated companies to broaden its geographical
distribution capabilities in the Midwest, and through the transaction with
Equilon can potentially expand its distribution points nationally through
Equilon's terminal network.

   The Company owns and operates a common carrier pipeline system that
connects its Port Arthur refinery with three terminals. It also owns
proprietary refined products pipelines from the Port Arthur refinery to its
LPG terminal in Fannett, Texas.

 Crude Oil Supply

   The majority of the Company's crude oil supply requirements are acquired on
the spot market from unaffiliated foreign and domestic sources. The Company
has several crude oil supply contracts that total approximately 220,000 bpd
with third-party suppliers, including PMI, Bayoil Supply and Trading Limited,
Husky Oil Operations Limited, and Koch Petroleum Group, L.P. These contracts
are generally cancelable upon one to three months' notice by either party, but
are intended to remain in place for the foreseeable future. The following

 Clean Air Act/Reformulated Fuels

   In December 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency
("USEPA") published the Tier II Motor Vehicle Emission Standards Final Rule
for all passenger vehicles, establishing standards for sulfur content in
gasoline. The ruling mandates that the sulfur content of gasoline produced at
any refinery not exceed 30 parts per million after January 1, 2006. Starting
in 2004, the USEPA will begin a program to phase in the new low sulfur
gasoline requirements. Currently the sulfur content in the Company's gasoline
pool averages approximately 385 parts per million. These regulations will
likely require the Company to make some level of capital investments at its
refineries to reduce the sulfur levels in its gasoline. The Company is
evaluating its options under the new regulations and does not currently have
an estimate of how much of a capital outlay will be required for compliance.

   Under the Clean Air Act, the USEPA promulgated regulations mandating low-
sulfur diesel fuel for all on-road consumers and RFG for ozone non-attainment
areas, including Chicago, Milwaukee and Houston in the Company's direct market
area.

   The USEPA has drafted a proposed regulation which, it is believed, would
require a significant reduction in the sulfur content of diesel fuel by the
year 2006. The proposed regulation has not yet been released to the public and
is currently under the review of the White House Office of Management and
Budget. The USEPA anticipates that the regulation will be formally proposed
later this spring and formally promulgated as a final rule before the end of
the year 2000. Until the regulation is formally proposed and promulgated, and
the exact nature of the USEPA's proposal becomes known, the Company cannot
assess the impact, if any, of the regulation on its operations.

   The Clean Air Act requires the USEPA to review national ambient air quality
standards for certain pollutants every five years. In July 1997, after such a
review, the USEPA adopted more stringent national standards for ground level
ozone (smog) and particulate matter (soot). These standards, when implemented,
are likely to increase significantly the number of non-attainment areas and
thus require additional pollution controls, more extensive use of RFG, and
possibly new diesel fuel standards. Efforts are being made to influence the
legislative branch to repeal the new standards under the Congressional Review
Act. A lawsuit filed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Trucking
Association and the National Coalition of Petroleum Retailers is challenging
the implementation of these standards. As a result, it is too early to
determine what impact that this ruling could have on the Company.

   Expenditures required to comply with existing reformulated fuels
regulations are primarily discretionary, subject to market conditions and
economic justification. The reformulated fuels programs impose restrictions on
properties of fuels to be refined and marketed, including those pertaining to
gasoline volatility, oxygenated content, detergent addition and sulfur
content. The regulations regarding these fuel properties vary in markets in
which the Company operates, based on attainment of air quality standards and
the time of the year. The Company's Blue Island refinery has the capability to
produce up to approximately 60% of its gasoline production in RFG. Each
refinery's maximum RFG production may be limited based on the clean fuels
attainment of the Company's total refining system. The Port Arthur refinery
has the capability to produce 100% low-sulfur diesel fuel.

 Market Environment

   The profitability of an oil refinery is determined, in large part, by
refining margins, the spread between prices for refined products such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, and costs of crude oil. The refining margin is driven
by the supply and demand for petroleum commodities. Refinery profitability is
also influenced by the equipment configuration of the refinery, the refinery's
operating cost structure and the refinery's access to crude oil and refined
product markets.

   Demand for light refined products (gasoline, diesel, kerosene/jet fuel)
grew at an annual rate of 4.2% from 1960 to 1973, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy. However, demand for light refined products declined by
0.5% per year from 1973 to 1983. The Company believes that the combination of
high prices for petroleum products due to the oil shocks of the early and late
1970's, environmental regulations favoring cleaner burning fuels, and gains in
fuel efficiency caused consumption of light refined products to decrease. From
1983 to 1998, light refined product demand increased at a rate of 1.6% per
year and from 1993 to 1998, at 2.1% per year. The Company believes the renewed
growth in light refined product demand is due to the expansion of U.S. vehicle
fleet miles driven, increased seat miles flown on the U.S. airlines, and the
reduced improvement in vehicle fuel efficiency due to consumer preference for
light trucks and sport-utility vehicles.

   Demand for heavy refined products (residual and other heavy oil) grew at an
annual rate of 4.0% from 1960 to 1978, according to the U.S. Department of
Energy. The Company believes that the introduction of regulations restricting
the use of residual oil in the late 1970's drastically reduced demand for
residual oil, as demand decreased from 3 million barrels per day in 1978 to
0.9 million barrels per day in 1998, an annual decrease of 5.9%. During this
same period, overall heavy refined product demand has decreased at only
approximately 1% per year.

   From 1965 through 1978, crude oil distillation capacity utilization rates
averaged approximately 89%, according to the American Petroleum Institute. The
Company believes that sagging demand for light and heavy refined products was
the primary cause of the utilization rates falling to 69% in 1981. U.S. crude
oil distillation capacity decreased from 18.1 million barrels per day in 1980
to 16.4 million barrels per day in 1999, according to the Oil & Gas Journal,
as more than 40% of the refineries in the United States closed during this
period. As a result of this decrease in capacity and the renewed increase in
demand, U.S. crude oil distillation capacity utilization rates increased from
69% in the early 1980s to 95% in 1998 and averaged approximately 93% in 1999.
The Company believes U.S. crude oil distillation utilization rates may be
approaching long-term sustainable maximums due to the requirements for routine
maintenance and the likelihood of unplanned downtime.

   The Company believes the annual growth in refined product demand in the
U.S. will average 1-2%, in line with the recent trends, due to the continuing
expansion of the U.S. vehicle fleet miles driven and increased seat-miles
flown on U.S. airlines with an offset for modest improvements in vehicles
efficiency.

   Crude oil represents a refinery's largest single operating cost and is
available in a range of prices depending on the equipment required for
processing the crude oil, its potential yield of refined products, and the
cost of transporting the crude oil to the refinery. Lighter and/or sweeter
crude oil is priced higher then heavy and/or sour crude oil because it is
easier to process and yields a higher-valued slate of products such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and petrochemicals.

                                      11

   The economies of crude oil selection compares the discounts offered for
lower quality crude oil to the gain on making higher value products instead of
residual oil. The refining margin of a heavy coking refinery is highly
sensitive to the dollar per barrel price difference between heavy sour crude
oil, such as Maya, and light sweet crude oil, such as West Texas Intermediate.
This difference is often referred to as the "heavy/light differential". This
measurement provides a reliable indication of the profitability advantage of a
heavy coking refinery because a wider heavy/light differential typically
results in lower cost feedstocks and a higher resulting refinery margin. From
1988 through 1999 the six-month moving average of the heavy/light differential
ranged from a high of $8.90 to a low of $3.76 with 1999 averaging $4.75 per
barrel.

   In the late 1980's, conversion capacity, the ability to extract more
higher-valued products from the same barrel of crude oil, was fully utilized
with little or no excess capacity. As a result, returns on investment for
refiners motivated new investments in conversion. By the early 1990s, the rate
of addition of conversion capacity considerably exceeded the needed level.
Many producers added this capacity with the intention of processing heavy sour
crude oil into low sulfur diesel and reformulated gasoline. Many refiners
found that the most economic way of accomplishing this was to combine various
refinery modifications made in response to regulatory changes with expansions
of conversion capacity. Since conversion capacity is generally the most
profitable component of a refinery, many refiners believed that increasing it
was the most effective way to maximize returns on product quality improvement
investments. However, because so many refiners recognized the potential
benefit of increasing conversion capacity, an overbuilding of capacity
resulted. The overabundance of conversion capacity drove up demand for heavy
feedstock and resulted in a narrowing of the heavy/light differential through
1995.

   Recovery in the heavy/light differential occurred in 1996 and 1997. The
Company believes that while this recovery was due in part to temporary
refinery operating problems at several major refinery units, which decreased
the availability of conversion capacity, this recovery was primarily driven by
the rising output of heavy sour crude oil in the Western Hemisphere. This
increasing production of heavy sour crude oil resulted in severe price
competition and residual fuel oil oversupply. The differentials reached a peak
late in 1997 and early 1998 due to these factors. In April 1998, the trends
began to reverse and the heavy/light differential began to narrow. This
reversal was brought about by the confluence of a number of factors. These
include the effects of the Asian financial crisis, which reduced demand for
refined products and opened up capacity worldwide. In addition, low crude oil
prices and high natural gas prices in the U.S. caused demand for residual fuel
to increase rather dramatically. At the same time, export demand for residual
fuel increased sharply due to El Nino related hydropower shortages in Mexico.

   Although the rate of increase in conversion capacity fell sharply after
1994, several major projects are currently underway. In addition, several
conversion projects are linked to supplies of heavy sour crude oil from
Venezuela and Mexico and the Company believes these projects will absorb
increases in heavy sour crude oil production. Net additions in conversion
capacity in recent years have been at a rate of 2% per year in the United
States and nearly 4% worldwide.

   The Company believes heavy sour crude oil production cuts in 1999, by
Mexico, Canada, Venezuela and other OPEC members caused the heavy/light
differential to narrow. At the same time, new conversion capacity was being
brought on and was absorbing excess heavy feedstock, thereby strengthening
heavy feedstock prices and further narrowing the differential. In addition,
high natural gas prices coupled with low residual oil prices encouraged the
burning of residual fuel, thereby squeezing the heavy feedstock balance and
narrowing the heavy/light differential even further.

   The Company believes the heavy/light differential will begin to widen again
as many of the key factors determining the heavy/light differential are
expected by the Company to turn favorable:

  . as the world economy, particularly Asia, improves, demand will grow
    rapidly;

  . crude oil prices will increase as demand increases;

  . crude oil production increases, particularly heavy sour crude oil, as
    demand for OPEC crude oil increases since OPEC crude oil is generally
    heavier;

                                      12
<PAGE>

  . Venezuela, Mexico, and Canada are expected to expedite heavy oil
    production; and

  . light product demand and supply of heavy sour crude oil will likely
    increase faster than conversion capacity can be added.

Sale of Retail Division

   In July 1999, Clark R&M sold its retail marketing division in a
recapitalization transaction to Clark Retail Enterprises ("CRE"), which is
controlled by Apollo Management L.P., for net cash proceeds of approximately
$215 million. A subsidiary of the Company's indirect parent Clark Holdings
holds a six-percent equity interest in CRE. The retail marketing division sold
included all Company and independently-operated Clark branded stores and the
Clark trade name. In general, CRE assumed unknown environmental liabilities at
the retail stores they acquired up to $50,000 per site, as well as
responsibility for any post-closing contamination. Subject to certain risk
sharing arrangements, the Company retained responsibility for all pre-
existing, known contamination. As part of the sale agreement, the Company also
entered into a market-based supply agreement for refined products that expires
in July 2001 and may be canceled with 90 days notice by the buyer. Since the
supply agreement is market-based the Company does not expect the expiration of
the supply agreement to have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position.

Competition

   The oil industry is highly competitive. Many of the Company's principal
competitors are integrated multinational oil companies that are substantially
larger and better known than the Company. Because of their diversity,
integration of operations, larger capitalization and greater resources, these
major oil companies may be better able to withstand volatile market
conditions, more effectively compete on the basis of price and more readily
obtain crude oil in times of shortages.

   The principal competitive factors affecting the Company are crude oil and
other feedstock costs, refinery efficiency, refinery reliability, refinery
product mix and product distribution and transportation costs. Certain of the
Company's larger competitors have refineries which are larger and, as a
result, could have lower per-barrel costs or higher margins per barrel of
throughput. The Company has no crude oil reserves and is not engaged in
exploration and production activities. The Company obtains nearly all of its
crude oil requirements on the spot market from unaffiliated sources. The
Company believes that it will be able to obtain adequate crude oil and other
feedstocks at generally competitive prices for the foreseeable future. The
principal competitive factors affecting the Company's wholesale distribution
system are product price and quality, reliability and availability of supply
and location of distribution points.

Environmental Matters

 Compliance Matters

   As the current operator of refineries and the former operator of gasoline
stores, the Company is subject to comprehensive and frequently changing
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those
governing emissions of air pollutants, discharges of wastewater and
stormwater, and the handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous
waste. Federal, state and local laws and regulations establishing numerous
requirements and providing penalties for violations thereof affect nearly all
of the current and former operations of the Company. Included among such laws
and regulations are the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"). Also
significantly affecting the Company are the rules and regulations of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Many of these laws authorize
the imposition of civil and criminal sanctions upon companies that fail to
comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements. As discussed
below, federal and state agencies have filed various enforcement actions
alleging that the Company has violated a number of environmental laws and
regulations. The Company nevertheless believes that, in all material respects,
its existing operations are in compliance with such laws and regulations.

   The Company's operations are large and complex. The numerous environmental
regulations to which the Company is subject are complicated, sometimes
ambiguous, and often changing. In addition, the Company may

                                      13
<PAGE>

not have detected certain violations of environmental laws and regulations
because the conditions that constitute such violations may not be apparent. It
is therefore possible that certain of the Company's operations are not
currently in compliance with state or federal environmental laws and
regulations. Accordingly, the Company may be required to make additional
expenditures to comply with existing environmental requirements. Such
expenditures, along with compliance with environmental requirements, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results
of operations, cash flow or liquidity.

   The Company anticipates that, in addition to expenditures necessary to
comply with existing environmental requirements, it will incur costs in the
future to comply with new requirements. The Company cannot predict what
environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future or how
existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted
with respect to products or activities to which they have not previously been
applied. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more
vigorous enforcement policies of the regulatory agencies or stricter
interpretation of existing laws which may develop in the future, could have an
adverse effect on the financial position or operations of the Company and
could require substantial additional expenditures by the Company for the
installation and operation of pollution control systems and equipment. See "--
Legal Proceedings."

 Remediation Matters

   In addition to environmental laws that regulate the Company's ongoing
operations, the Company's various operations also are subject to liability for
the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Under CERCLA and
analogous state laws, certain persons may be liable as a result of the release
or threatened release of hazardous substances (including petroleum) into the
environment. Such persons include the current owner or operator of property
where such releases or threatened releases have occurred, any persons who
owned or operated such property during the time that hazardous substances were
released at such property, and persons who arranged for the disposal of
hazardous substances at such property. Liability under CERCLA is strict.
Courts have also determined that liability under CERCLA is, in most cases
where the government is the plaintiff, joint and several, meaning that any
responsible party could be held liable for all costs necessary for
investigating and remediating a release or threatened release of hazardous
substances. As a practical matter, liability at most CERCLA (and similar)
sites is shared among all the solvent "potentially responsible parties"
("PRPs"). The most relevant factors in determining the probable liability of a
party at a CERCLA site usually are the cost of investigation and remediation,
the relative amount of hazardous substances contributed by the party to the
site and the number of solvent PRPs. While the Company maintains property and
casualty insurance in the normal course of its business, such insurance does
not typically cover remediation and certain other environmental expenses.

   The release or discharge of petroleum and other hazardous materials can
occur at refineries and terminals. The Company has identified a variety of
potential environmental issues at its refineries, terminals, and previously
owned retail stores. In addition, each refinery has areas on-site that may
contain hazardous waste or hazardous substance contamination and which may
have to be addressed in the future at substantial cost. The terminal sites may
also require remediation due to the age of tanks and facilities and as a
result of current or past activities at the terminal properties including
several significant spills and past on-site waste disposal practices.

 Legal And Governmental Proceedings

   The Company is also the subject of various environmental-related legal
proceedings. See "--Legal Proceedings."

Employees

   Currently, the Company employs approximately 2,100 people, with
approximately 60% covered by collective bargaining agreements at the Blue
Island, Hartford, Lima and Port Arthur refineries. The Port Arthur and
Hartford refinery contracts expire in February 2002, the Lima refinery
contract expires in August 2002, and the Blue Island contract expires in
September 2002. Relationships with the unions have been good and the Company
has never experienced a work stoppage as a result of labor disagreements.

                                      14
<PAGE>

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

   As a result of its activities, the Company is the subject of a number of
legal and administrative proceedings relating to environmental matters. The
Company is required by the Commission to disclose all matters that could be
material or that involve a governmental authority and could reasonably involve
monetary sanctions of $100,000 or greater.

   Hartford Federal Enforcement. In February 1999, the Company was served with
a complaint in the matter United States v. Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc.,
alleging violations of the Clean Air Act, and regulations promulgated
thereunder, in the operation and permitting of the Hartford refinery fluid
catalytic cracking unit. In July 1999, the Company was served with a civil
administrative complaint filed by the USEPA, alleging certain violations of
the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, and regulations
promulgated thereunder, with respect to certain record-keeping and reporting
requirements relating to the Hartford refinery. The administrative complaint
seeks a civil penalty of $498,000. No estimate can be made at this time of the
Company's potential liability, if any, as a result of these matters.

   Hartford State Enforcement. In 1996, the matter People of the State of
Illinois v. Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., PCB No. 95-163 was substantially
settled by the parties. Remaining issues are being discussed and resolution is
anticipated. No estimate of any liability with respect to this remaining
element of the complaint can be made at this time.

   Blue Island Federal Enforcement. The Blue Island refinery is the subject of
federal investigations concerning potential violations of certain
environmental laws and regulations. In March 1997, the USEPA initiated a
multimedia investigation at the Blue Island refinery. The investigation
included an on-site visit, requests for information and meetings. In March
1997, the Company received a Grand Jury subpoena requesting certain documents
relating to wastewater discharges. The United States Attorney has interviewed
a number of current and former Blue Island refinery employees. The
investigation is on-going and the Company has cooperated fully in the matter.
In September 1998, the Company was served with a complaint in the matter,
United States v. Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., alleging that the Company
has operated the refinery in violation of certain federal laws relating to air
pollution, water pollution and solid waste management. The Company filed an
answer denying the material allegations of the lawsuit. The parties are
negotiating the terms and conditions of a potential consent decree which would
resolve this matter. While substantial progress has been made on a conceptual
level, there is no assurance that a consent decree will be successfully
negotiated, nor can any estimate be made at this time of the Company's
potential liability, if any, as a result of these matters.

   Blue Island State Enforcement. People ex rel. Ryan v. Clark Refining &
Marketing, Inc., is currently pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois alleging operation of the Blue Island refinery in violation of
environmental laws. The allegations originate from a fire that occurred in the
Isomax unit in March 1995, a release of hydrogen fluoride in May 1995 from a
processing unit, other releases into the air that occurred in the past three
years, and releases of wastewater and stormwater to the Cal Sag Channel. The
Company has filed an answer denying the material allegations in the lawsuit.
The Illinois Attorney General has also intervened in the federal USEPA case,
discussed above. The Company is seeking to settle this case and the USEPA case
as a consolidated matter. The parties are negotiating the terms and conditions
of a consent decree settling this matter. No estimate of any liability with
respect to this matter can be made at this time.

   Sashabaw Road. In May 1993, the Company received correspondence from the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources ("MDNR") indicating that the MDNR
believes that the Company may be a potentially responsible party in connection
with groundwater contamination in the vicinity of one of its previously owned
retail stores on Sashabaw Road in Oakland County, Michigan. In July 1994, MDNR
commenced suit against the Company alleging that a retail location caused
groundwater contamination necessitating the installation of a new $600,000
drinking water system. Michigan is seeking reimbursement of this cost.
Although some contamination from the Company site may have occurred, the
Company contends that numerous other sources were responsible

                                      15
<PAGE>

and that a total reimbursement demand from the Company is excessive. Mediation
resulted in a $200,000 finding against the Company, which the Company was
willing to pay in settlement, but the state refused any settlement less than
$500,000. The matter was tried in November 1999. The parties are awaiting a
decision.

   Port Arthur Natural Resource Damage Assessment. On June 7, 1999, Clark R&M
and Chevron received a notice from a number of Federal and Texas agencies that
a study would be conducted to determine whether any natural resource damage
occurred as a result of the operation of the Port Arthur refinery. The Company
will cooperate with the government agencies in this investigation.

   Port Arthur and Lima Refineries. The original refineries on the sites of
the Port Arthur and Lima refineries began operating in the late 1800s and
early 1900s prior to modern environmental laws and methods of operation. While
the Company believes as a result there is extensive contamination at these
sites, the Company is unable to estimate the cost of remediating such
contamination. Under the purchase agreement between the Company and Chevron
related to the Port Arthur refinery, Chevron will be obligated to perform the
required remediation of more than 97% of pre-closing contamination. The
Company estimates its obligation at approximately $8 million. Under the
purchase agreement between the Company and BP related to the Lima Refinery, BP
indemnified the Company for all environmental and other liabilities and
obligations arising from the ownership and operation of the Lima refinery
prior to closing, subject to the terms and limitations in the purchase
agreement. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company may become jointly
and severally liable for the costs of investigation and remediation at these
sites. In the event that Chevron or BP is unable (as a result of bankruptcy or
otherwise) or unwilling to perform the required remediation at these sites,
the Company may be required to do so. The cost of any such remediation could
be substantial and could be beyond the Company's financial ability. In June
1997, the Company, Chevron and the State of Texas entered into an agreed order
that substantially confirmed the relative obligations of the Company and
Chevron.

   As of December 31, 1999, the Company had accrued a total of $36.4 million
for legal and environmental-related obligations that may result from the
matters noted above, other legal and environmental matters and obligations
associated with certain retail sites. While it is not possible at this time to
estimate the ultimate amount of liability with respect to the legal
proceedings described above, the Company is of the opinion that the aggregate
amount of any such liability, in excess of amounts previously accrued, will
not have a material adverse effect on its financial position. However, an
adverse outcome of any one or more of these matters could have a material
effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in
a future period.

   In addition to the specific matters discussed above, the Company has also
been named in various other suits and claims. While it is not possible to
estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with
respect to these other legal proceedings, the Company believes the outcome of
these other suits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, operating results or cash flow.

(a) Includes adjustments to inventory costs caused by timing differences
    between when and how crude oil is actually purchased and refined products
    are actually sold, and a daily "market in, market out" operations
    measurement methodology.

   Net sales and operating revenues and cost of sales for the Company were
higher in 1999 than 1997 or 1998 principally because of higher hydrocarbon
prices and production from the Lima refinery that was acquired in August 1998.
The Company reported net losses of $2.2 million in 1999, $20.9 million in 1998
and $58.2 million in 1997. Net earnings in each of the past three years were
impacted by items the Company considers special. Special items benefited
operating income by $180.6 million in 1999, reduced operating income by $32.0
million in 1998 and reduced operating income by $101.2 million in 1997. In
1997, net earnings were reduced by $10.7 million related to an extraordinary
item for early retirement of debt. See Note 9 "Long Term Debt" and

                                      18
<PAGE>

Note 14 "Equity Recapitalization and Change in Control" to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. These special items consisted of the following:

   Inventory Timing Adjustments. An inventory timing adjustment gain of $20.2
million in 1999, and loss of $14.7 million in 1998 and $42.0 million in 1997
were principally due to the timing impact of changes in petroleum prices in
each of the past three years on crude oil purchases and refined product sale
commitments. Petroleum prices fell in 1997 and 1998 as world energy markets
became oversupplied principally as a result of an increase in OPEC production
and reduced demand resulting from the Asian economic slowdown and reduced
heating oil demand. OPEC responded by reducing production in 1999, which
caused prices to increase. These gains and losses resulted from the fact that
feedstock acquisition costs are fixed on average two to three weeks prior to
the manufacture and sale of the finished products. The Company does not
currently hedge this price risk because of the cost of entering into
appropriate hedge-related derivatives and the long-term continuing nature of
such risk. The Company does hedge price risk when its total volume-related at-
risk position deviates from long-range targets.

   Inventory (Write-down) Recovery to Market. Also as a result of lower
petroleum prices in 1997 and 1998, the Company was required to record non-cash
accounting charges of $19.2 million and $86.6 million, respectively, to
reflect the decline in the value of petroleum inventories below carrying
value. When petroleum prices increased in 1999, the Company fully recovered
these charges.

   Gain from LIFO Inventory Reduction. The Company recorded a LIFO gain in
1999 of $54.6 million resulting from an 8.9 million barrel reduction in
inventory and higher current year liquidation values as compared to LIFO cost.

   Recapitalization, asset write-offs and other costs. Recapitalization, asset
write-offs and other costs totaled a charge of $40.0 million in 1997. This
item included a non-cash charge of $20.3 million principally to write down the
value of an idled refining capital project that was being dismantled for more
productive use. A non-cash charge of $9.0 million was also recorded in 1997
due to a change in strategic direction principally for certain legal,
environmental and other accruals related to existing actions. In addition, the
Company incurred costs of $10.7 million in connection with affiliates of
Blackstone acquiring an indirect controlling interest in the Company.

   Gain on sale of minority pipeline interests. In 1997, the Company
determined that its minority interests in the Southcap and Chicap crude oil
pipelines, and the Wolverine and West Shore product pipelines, were not
strategic since the Company's shipping rights are assured due to the
pipelines' operation as common carrier pipelines and the Company's historical
throughput on these pipelines. In 1998, the Company sold its interests in
these pipelines for net proceeds of $76.4 million, which resulted in a before
and after-tax book gain of approximately $69.3 million. These pipelines
contributed earnings of approximately $5.3 million in 1998 and $8.2 million in
1997 and were recorded as a component of refinery gross margin for the Midwest
refineries.

   The Company recorded in 1999 an Operating Contribution loss or loss before
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, inventory-related items, gain on
the sale of minority pipeline interests and recapitalization, asset write-offs
and other costs of $106.8 million. This compared to a contribution of $88.5
million in 1998 and $150.5 million in 1997. Operating Contribution decreased
in 1999 and 1998 from previous years principally due to significantly lower
margins for refined products resulting from higher U.S. refined product
inventory levels which depressed prices. These higher inventory levels
resulted from warmer winter weather that reduced heating oil demand, high
industry refinery utilization rates and the impact on world demand from the
Asian economic slowdown that began in late 1997. Oversupply of crude oil led
to low crude oil prices in 1998 and early 1999. In 1999, margins were further
reduced due to higher feedstock costs caused by the reduction in OPEC
production quotas that had the effect of narrowing discounts for heavy and
light sour crude oil. OPEC producers met the barrel denominated quotas by
eliminating the lowest revenue barrels in their production stream. In
addition, Canadian production that was reduced due to the low crude oil prices
in 1998 and early 1999 was slow to return to market.

   The decrease in margins from 1997 to 1999 was reflected in the lower Gulf
Coast and Chicago industry refining margin indicators or 3/2/1 crack spreads
and narrower market discounts for lower quality crude oil. The

                                      19
<PAGE>

3/2/1 crack spread is an indicator of refining margins based on quoted market
prices that is calculated by subtracting the price for three barrels of WTI
crude oil, a high quality, light sweet crude oil, from the price of two
barrels of regular unleaded gasoline and one barrel of high sulfur diesel
fuel, and dividing the total by three. In addition to the components of
refining margins reflected in the crack spread, benchmark indicators of the
discount for lower quality alternative types of crude oil that may be
processed in the Company's refineries narrowed from 1997 to 1999. Crude oil
quality differential market indicators for light sour crude oil, or West Texas
Sour, decreased from $1.71 per barrel in 1997 and $1.56 per barrel in 1998 to
$1.30 per barrel in 1999. Market indicators for heavy sour crude oil
discounts, or Mexican Maya, decreased from $5.63 per barrel in 1997 and $5.68
in 1998 to $4.83 per barrel in 1999. Discounts for heavy sour Canadian crude
oil also narrowed as a result of low absolute crude oil prices in 1998 and
early 1999, which caused this lower-cost crude oil to become unavailable.

   Major scheduled maintenance turnarounds at the Lima refinery in 1999, Blue
Island refinery in 1998 and Port Arthur and Hartford refineries in 1997
resulted in an opportunity cost from lost production of $23.0 million in 1999,
$17.1 million in 1998 and $19.3 million in 1997. Port Arthur refinery crude
oil throughput rates were reduced below capacity in 1999 due to poor crude
unit distillation margins that favored reduced rates and purchasing partially
refined feedstocks to maintain production from other refinery units.
Production increased in 1999 and 1998 versus the prior years in the Midwest
refineries due to the acquisition in August 1998 of the Lima refinery, which
averaged 118,100 barrels per day in 1999 and 130,300 barrels per day during
the nearly five months in 1998 it was owned by the Company. Production from
Midwest refineries was below capacity in 1999 due to the Lima maintenance
turnaround, leaks in third party pipelines that reduced supplies of crude oil
to the refineries and unplanned downtime. In addition to the benefit of the
Lima refinery, production increased in 1998 due to record rates being achieved
on most major units at the Port Arthur and Hartford refineries, including the
crude, FCC and coker units.

   Operating expenses for the Midwest refineries increased from 1997 to 1998
primarily due to the acquisition of the Lima refinery. Operating expenses for
the Lima refinery were $37.8 million in 1998 and $98.2 million in 1999.
Operating expenses for the Port Arthur refinery were relatively flat from 1997
to 1999. General and administrative expenses decreased in 1999 principally due
to lower incentive compensation payments under the Company"s annual incentive
plan. These expenses were higher in 1998 relative to 1997 principally due to
the addition of the Lima refinery, increased employee placement costs and an
increase in information services costs related to year 2000 remediation and
upgrades and increased consulting services.

 Other Financial Matters

   Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in each of the past three
years principally because of the full year impact of the Port Arthur
maintenance turnaround performed in 1997, the acquisition of the Lima refinery
in 1998, the amortization of the initial Lima refinery maintenance turnarounds
performed in 1999 and higher capital expenditures.

   Interest expense and finance income, net increased in 1999 as compared to
1998 due to the full year impact of the issuance in August 1998 of $110
million 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2008, and the expansion of a $115 million
floating rate term loan due 2004 to finance the Lima refinery acquisition.
Interest expense and finance income, net were lower in 1998 than 1997 due to
reduced borrowing rates and reduced finance cost amortization resulting from
the Company's financing activities in late 1997. In late 1997, the Company
redeemed its 10 1/2% Senior Notes, due 2001 ("10 1/2% Senior Notes"), issued
$100 million 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2007 ("8 3/8% Senior Notes"), issued $175
million 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 ("8 7/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes"), and entered into a $125 million floating rate term loan due 2004
("Floating Rate Loan"). In late 1997, the Company also entered into an amended
and restated working capital facility that was subsequently amended and
restated in 1999. See Note 8 "Working Capital Facility" and Note 14 "Equity
Recapitalization and Change in Control" to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

   The income tax benefit on the loss from continuing operations of $16.2
million for 1999 reflected the effect of intraperiod tax allocations resulting
from the utilization of current year operating losses to offset the net gain

                                      20
<PAGE>

on the operations and sale of the discontinued retail division, offset by the
write-down of a net deferred tax asset. The income tax benefit on the loss
from continuing operations of $12.9 million for 1998 reflected the effect of
intraperiod tax allocations resulting from the utilization of current year
operating losses to offset the earnings from operations of the discontinued
retail division. The income tax provision on the loss from continuing
operations of $10.4 million for 1997 reflected the recording of a valuation
allowance against a net deferred tax asset. See Note 13 "Income Taxes" to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Sale of Retail Division

   In July 1999, Clark R&M sold its retail marketing operation in a
recapitalization transaction to a company controlled by Apollo for
approximately $230 million. The retail marketing operation sold included all
Company and independently operated Clark-branded stores and the Clark trade
name. After all transaction costs, the sale generated cash proceeds of
approximately $215 million. See Exhibit 10.0, Asset Contribution and
Recapitalization Agreement filed with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1999. In general, the buyer assumed
unknown environmental liabilities at the retail stores they acquired up to
$50,000 per site, as well as responsibility for any post-closing
contamination. Subject to certain risk sharing arrangements, Clark R&M
retained responsibility for all pre-existing known contamination. A subsidiary
of Clark Holdings acquired a six- percent equity interest in the retail
marketing operation. As part of the sale agreement, Clark R&M also entered
into a market-based supply agreement for refined products that expires in July
2001. The buyer may cancel the supply agreement with 90 days notice. In 1999,
the Company realized $355.9 million in sales under this contract. The retail
marketing operation was sold in order to allow the Company to focus its human
and financial resources on the continued improvement and expansion of its
refining business, which it believes will generate higher future returns.

   The retail marketing operations were classified as a discontinued operation
and the results of operations were excluded from continuing operations in the
consolidated statements of operations. A pre-tax gain on the sale of $59.9
million ($36.6 million, net of income taxes) was recognized in the third
quarter of 1999.

 Year 2000 Disclosure

   As was widely reported, many computer systems processed dates based on two
digits for the year of a transaction and many feared that computers would be
unable to process dates in the year 2000 and beyond. There were many risks
associated with the year 2000 compliance issue, including, but not limited to,
the possible failure of the Company's systems and hardware with embedded
systems or those of the Company's business partners. The Company began
significant efforts to address its exposures related to the year 2000 issue in
1997. A project team was put in place to assess, remediate or replace, test
and implement computer systems and applications so that such systems and
related processes would continue to operate and properly process information
after December 31, 1999. The Company expended $5.9 million through December
31, 1999 on these efforts. Such costs were expensed as incurred and funded
from operations. The Company also developed contingency plans for these
systems as well as the business processes and operations that they supported.
In addition, the Company communicated with, and evaluated the systems of its
customers, suppliers, financial institutions and others with which it does
business to identify any year 2000 issues. The Company has not experienced any
significant disruptions in its business due to year 2000 problems to date and
is committed to making certain that its systems and processes continue to
function properly in the future.

 Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

   In June 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. This
statement, as amended, becomes effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating this
new standard, the impact it may have on the Company's accounting and
reporting, and planning for when to adopt the standard.

                                      21

 Outlook

   Since most of the Company's products are commodities, supply and demand for
crude oil and refined products have a significant impact on the Company's
results. Demand for transportation fuel products has grown by an average of 1-
2% per year since 1992, primarily as a result of increased miles driven,
little improvement in the fuel efficiency of the U.S. automobile fleet and the
strength of the U.S. economy. Warm winters for the past four years, the Asian
economic slowdown that began in late 1997 and high industry utilization rates
bloated U.S. and world-wide refined product inventories from 1997 to 1999
resulting in downward pressure on margins. However, in late 1999 and early
2000 U.S. refinery utilization rates decreased and lowered U.S. inventory
levels for the primary refinery products, gasoline and diesel fuel, to below
10-year averages. Historically, lower U.S. inventory levels have resulted in
higher margins. The Company expects that there will continue to be volatility
in refining margins and the Company's earnings because of the seasonal nature
of refined product demand and the commodity nature of the Company's refined
products. This is especially true in 2000, given the uncertainty over crude
oil production restrictions by OPEC and non-OPEC countries and the impact this
may have on feedstock costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding working capital
changes, or Operating Cash Flow, for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
negative $43.5 million, which compared to cash flow of $33.1 million in 1998
and $46.6 million in 1997. Working capital as of December 31, 1999 was $309.3
million, a 1.66 to 1 current ratio, versus $361.8 million, a 1.99 to 1 current
ratio, at December 31, 1998. Operating Cash Flow decreased in 1999 and 1998 as
compared to 1997 and working capital decreased in 1999 as compared to 1998
principally due to lower refining margins resulting from weak refining market
conditions.

   As part of its overall inventory management and crude acquisition
strategies, the Company routinely buys and sells, in varying degrees, crude
oil in the spot market. Such ongoing activities carry various payment terms
and require the Company to maintain adequate liquidity and working capital
facilities. The Company's short-term working capital requirements fluctuate
with the pricing and sourcing of crude oil. The credit agreement is used for
the issuance of letters of credit primarily for the purchase of crude oil and
other feedstocks and refined products. The Company's liquidity benefited in
1999 from the sale of its retail division, a partially completed coker project
at its Port Arthur refinery and refined product terminal assets. In addition,
during 1999 the Company sold crude oil linefill in the pipeline system
supplying the Lima refinery. The Company has an agreement in place that
requires it to repurchase approximately 2.8 million barrels of crude oil in
this pipeline system in September 2000 at market prices, unless extended by
mutual consent.

   In November 1999, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides
for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit expiring on June 30,
2001. The credit agreement allows the Company to borrow the lesser of $620
million, or the amount of a borrowing base calculated with respect to the
Company's cash and cash equivalents, eligible investments, eligible
receivables and eligible petroleum inventories. Direct cash borrowings under
the facility are limited to $50 million. The facility is secured by liens on
substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
crude oil, refined product inventories and other inventories and trademarks
and other intellectual property. The amount available under the facility at
December 31, 1999 was $620 million and approximately $435 million of the
facility was utilized for letters of credit. As of December 31, 1999, there
were no direct cash borrowings under the credit agreement and the Company was
in compliance with all covenants.

   The credit agreement contains covenants and conditions that, among other
things, limit dividends, indebtedness, liens, investments and contingent
obligations. It also requires the Company to maintain its property and
insurance, to pay all taxes and comply with all laws, and to provide periodic
information and conduct periodic audits on behalf of the lenders. The Company
is also required to comply with certain financial covenants. The financial
covenants are (i) maintenance of working capital of at least $150 million;

                                      22
<PAGE>

(ii) maintenance of tangible net worth (as defined) of at least $150 million;
and (iii) maintenance of minimum levels of balance sheet cash (as defined) of
$50 million at all times and $75 million at the end of any month. The
covenants also provide for a cumulative cash flow test (as defined) from
October 1, 1999 which must not be less than zero with a beginning balance of
$200 million. The credit agreement also limits the amount of future additional
indebtedness that may be incurred by the Company to $75 million, subject to
certain limitations and exceptions.

   Cash flows provided by investing activities in 1999 was $110.9 million with
cash flow uses of $229.9 million in 1998 and $123.6 million in 1997. Net cash
flow was provided by investing activities in 1999 due to the sale of the
retail division of $214.8 million, the sale of the terminals of $33.7 million
and the sale of the Port Arthur heavy oil upgrade project to Port Arthur Coker
Company L.P. for $157.1 million. Cash used in investing activity was greater
in 1998 than 1997 principally due to the Lima Acquisition, which was partially
offset by proceeds from the sale of the minority pipeline interests.

   Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $214.7
million in 1999 (1998--$101.3 million; 1997--$26.4 million). Expenditures for
refinery maintenance turnarounds totaled $77.9 million in 1999 (1998--$28.3
million; 1997--$47.4 million) with the Lima refinery undergoing its first
major turnaround in 1999. Expenditures for property, plant and equipment in
1999, 1998 and 1997 included $164.1 million, $42.6 million and $1.1 million,
respectively related to the Port Arthur heavy oil upgrade project, of which
$157.1 million was sold to Port Arthur Coker Company in August 1999. The
remaining amount related to the Company's portion of the project. The assets
were sold at cost, which approximated fair market value. Expenditures for
property, plant and equipment in 1999 included $27.7 million related to
mandatory capital expenditures (1998--$33.7 million; 1997--$30.9 million).

   In August 1998, the Company acquired BP's 170,000 barrel per day Lima, Ohio
refinery, related terminal facilities, and non-hydrocarbon inventories for a
purchase price of approximately $175.0 million plus related acquisition costs
of $11.3 million. Hydrocarbon inventories were purchased for $34.9 million.
The Company assumed liabilities mainly related to employee benefits of $7.0
million. BP retained permanent responsibility for all known pre-existing
environmental liabilities and responsibility for a minimum of twelve years for
pre-existing but unknown environmental liabilities. The total cost of the
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with
$175.0 million allocated to the refinery long-term assets and $53.2 million
allocated to current assets for hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon inventories
and catalysts. From 1991 to 1997 the Company believes BP invested an aggregate
of approximately $212 million in the Lima refinery. Based on the Company's due
diligence, it expects mandatory capital expenditures for the Lima refinery to
average approximately $20 million per year for the period from 2000 to 2002
and maintenance turnaround expenditures to total approximately $60 million
over five years. The Company expects cash flows from the Lima refinery to be
more than adequate to cover incremental financing and mandatory capital and
turnaround costs.

   The Company classifies its capital expenditures into two categories,
mandatory and discretionary. Mandatory capital expenditures are required to
maintain safe and reliable operations, or to comply with regulations
pertaining to ground, water and air contamination and occupational, safety and
health issues. The Company estimates that total mandatory capital and
turnaround expenditures will average approximately $90 million per year over
the next three years. Costs to comply with future regulations cannot be
estimated.

   The Company has a philosophy to link routine capital expenditures to cash
generated from operations. The Company has a total capital and refinery
maintenance turnaround expenditure budget, excluding the Company's portion of
the Port Arthur refinery upgrade project, of approximately $93 million in 2000
with another approximately $97 million budgeted for the Company's portion of
the Port Arthur heavy oil upgrade project. Total capital expenditures may be
less than budget if cash flow is lower than expected, and higher than budget
if cash flow is better than expected.

   Cash flow used in financing activities was $49.8 million in 1999 and $61.0
million in 1997 as compared to $194.0 million provided by financing activities
in 1998. Cash flow used in financing activities in 1999 was

                                      23
<PAGE>

principally related to a return of capital of $39.5 million to Clark USA. In
1998, the Company funded the acquisition of the Lima refinery and related
costs with cash on hand and the proceeds of a private placement to
institutional investors of $110 million 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2008 and a
$115 million floating rate term loan due 2004. In 1997, the Company received
net proceeds of $398 million from the issuance of 8 3/8% Senior Notes, 8 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes and a floating rate term loan. Also in 1997, the
Company returned capital of $215 million to Clark USA and redeemed all $225
million of its 10 1/2% Senior Notes outstanding at a price of $1,032.96 for
each $1,000.00 principal amount of the notes.

   Clark USA relies on Clark R&M for substantially all of its liquidity in
order to meet its interest and other costs. Clark USA is required to make
interest payments on its 10 7/8% Notes due 2005 of $9.5 million on June 1 and
December 1 of each year and expects its other costs to total less than $1
million per year. As of December 31, 1999, cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments owned by Clark USA without restriction amounted to $21.3
million. However, Clark R&M's ability to return capital to Clark USA from
operating activities is limited by covenants governing certain of Clark R&M's
outstanding debt securities. As of December 31, 1999, Clark R&M was unable
under the terms of such debt securities to dividend or otherwise distribute
any additional funds to Clark USA. Clark USA believes it will have adequate
liquidity to meet its working capital needs for the next year, but, unless
such Clark R&M debt securities are amended or repaid, will require additional
liquidity to make its June 1, 2001 interest payment and to fund its needs
beyond June 2001. Such debt securities are currently redeemable at par by
Clark R&M.

   Funds generated from operating activities together with existing cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments and proceeds from asset sales are
expected to be adequate to fund existing requirements for working capital and
capital expenditure programs for the next year. Due to the commodity nature of
its products, the Company's operating results are subject to rapid and wide
fluctuations. While the Company believes that its maintenance of large cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investment balances and its operating
philosophies will be sufficient to provide the Company with adequate liquidity
through the next year, there can be no assurance that market conditions will
not be worse than anticipated. Future working capital, discretionary capital
expenditures, environmentally mandated spending and acquisitions may require
additional debt or equity capital.

Port Arthur Coker Company L.P.

   In March 1998, the Company entered into a long-term crude oil supply
agreement with PMI Comercio Internacional, S. A. de C.V. ("PMI"), an affiliate
of Petroleos Mexicanos, the Mexican state oil company. As a result of this
contract, the Company began developing a project to upgrade the Port Arthur
refinery to process primarily lower-cost, heavy sour crude oil of the type to
be purchased from PMI. The heavy oil upgrade project includes the construction
of new coking, hydrocracking and sulfur removal capability, and the expansion
of the existing crude unit to approximately 250,000 barrels per day. In August
1999, the Company sold for $157.1 million the construction work-in-progress on
the new processing units to Port Arthur Coker Company L.P. ("PACC"), a company
that is an affiliate of, but not controlled by or consolidated with, the
Company or its subsidiaries, and leased the construction site for these units
to PACC. The Company also sold to PACC for $2.2 million the oil supply
agreement with PMI and environmental permits for the new processing units that
had already been obtained by the Company. The assets were sold at fair market
value, as determined by an independent engineer, which approximated cost and
accordingly no gain or loss was recorded. The Company remains liable for a $15
million termination payment to PMI if the heavy oil upgrade project is
terminated and an alternative long term crude oil supply agreement for the
Port Arthur refinery is entered into with a company other than PMI during 30
months following the termination of the project.

   As part of the heavy oil upgrade project, the Company is undertaking the
upgrading of existing units at the Port Arthur refinery, including the
expansion of the crude unit, which the Company is leasing to PACC for fair
market value. The Company's portion of the project is expected to cost
approximately $120 million, of which $50.7 million was expended through
December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a letter of credit
in favor of Foster Wheeler USA for $86.9 million to collateralize its
obligations related to the Port Arthur heavy oil upgrade project.

                                      24
<PAGE>

   The heavy oil upgrade project is expected to be mechanically complete by
November 2000 with start-up of the project in the first quarter of 2001. The
Company entered into agreements with PACC pursuant to which the Company will
provide certain operating, maintenance and other services and will purchase
the output from PACC's processing of the Maya crude oil available to it under
the PMI crude oil agreement. The finished products produced by the Company
will be substantially similar to those historically produced by the Company as
a result of the upgrade project and its arrangements with PACC. The Company
expects to be able to provide services to PACC principally using its existing
workforce. The Company will receive compensation under these agreements at
fair market value that is expected to be in the aggregate favorable to the
Company. As a result of these agreements, PACC will become a significant
supplier of partially-refined products representing approximately 200,000
barrels per day of feedstocks for the Port Arthur refinery. At December 31,
1999, the Company had a net outstanding receivable balance of $0.4 million
from PACC, consisting of a receivable of $0.5 million for services provided
under the services and supply agreement and fees paid by the Company on PACC's
behalf and a $0.1 million payable for the overpayment of such services in a
prior period. These amounts may be offset. A summary of these agreements is as
follows:

  Services and Supply Agreement

   Pursuant to this agreement, the Company will provide to PACC a number of
services and supplies needed for operation of their new and leased units. The
Company is required to provide all such services and supplies in accordance
with specified standards, including prudent industry practices. These services
and supplies include the following:

  . Operating the Company's process units that are leased to PACC;

  . Operating and maintaining the other portions of the Port Arthur refinery
    owned by the Company in a manner that ensures its ongoing ability to
    perform its obligations to PACC and that is consistent with specified
    standards and the efficient operation of PACC's new and leased units;

  . Performing routine, preventative and major maintenance for PACC's new and
    leased units;

  . Supervising and training PACC's employees;

  . Managing the processing of PACC's feedstocks through the new and leased
    units;

  . Managing crude oil purchases on behalf of PACC and the transportation of
    such oil to the Port Arthur refinery;

  . Procuring and managing supply contracts on PACC's behalf for the portion
    of light crude oil that is necessary for processing heavy crude oil by
    PACC;

  . Procuring an alternative supply of crude oil should Maya no longer be
    available to PACC pursuant to their long term crude oil supply agreement
    with PMI;

  . Coordinating the scheduling and performance of all maintenance
    turnarounds of processing units at the Port Arthur refinery, including
    turnarounds of units comprising PACC's new and leased units, in
    accordance with industry standards and in a manner that, when possible,
    minimizes operational disruptions to, and economic impact on, when
    possible, both PACC and the Company;

  . Providing utilities and other support services; and

  . Providing or arranging for all feedstocks (other than crude oil),
    catalysts, chemicals and other materials necessary for the operation of
    PACC's new and leased units and a number of other services including
    contract management services, procurement services, personnel management
    services, security services and emergency response services.

   Under the services and supply agreement, the Company also has a right of
first refusal, which it may exercise each quarter, to require PACC to process
crude oil in an amount equal to the portion, if any, of the processing
capacity of PACC's new and leased units that exceeds the amount they need to
process the Maya available to PACC under their long term crude oil supply
agreement with PMI or an equivalent amount available

                                      25
<PAGE>

to them under an alternative supply arrangement. The Company will pay a
processing fee for each quarter that it exercises this right of first refusal.
The Company expects the portion available to it pursuant to this right to be
approximately 20% of the processing capacity of PACC's new and leased units.
Amounts due and receivable under this agreement may be offset against each
other, but not against amounts otherwise due and receivable from PACC.

  Product Purchase Agreement

   Pursuant to the product purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to
accept and pay for all final and intermediate products of PACC's new and
leased units that are tendered for delivery, subject to the Company's right as
PACC's sole customer to request that PACC's new and leased units produce a
certain mix of products. This right, however, is subject to specified
limitations that are designed to ensure that PACC utilizes the entire amount
of Maya available to it under its long term crude oil supply agreement or an
equivalent amount from an alternative supplier and that the operations of the
Port Arthur refinery are optimized in a manner that is mutually beneficial to
PACC and the Company and that does not benefit the Company at PACC's expense.
Amounts due and receivable under this agreement may not be offset with amounts
otherwise due and receivable from PACC.

   PACC's new and leased units will produce a variety of products, some of
which are readily saleable on the open market, including finished refined
products such as petroleum coke, sulfur, kerosene, or other finished refined
products, and some of which are intermediate refined products, including
products such as gas oils, unfinished naphthas, unfinished jet fuel and other
intermediate refined products. The Company will be purchasing these products
from PACC for immediate resale, in the case of finished refined products, or
for further processing into higher-valued products in the case of intermediate
refined products. The Company may sell excess intermediate refined products if
the supply of these products exceeds its needs because of refinery unit
shutdowns or temporary reduced capacity.

   The product purchase agreement includes pricing formulas for each of the 42
products expected to be produced by PACC's new and leased units. These
formulas are intended to reflect fair market pricing of these products and
will be used to determine the amounts payable to PACC by the Company. Many of
the intermediate refined products do not have a widely quoted market price. As
a result, formulas for these products are based on widely quoted product
prices of other refined products from sources such as Platt's Oilgram Price
Report, Oil Pricing Information Service or Dynergy or is calculated based on
the weighted average of delivered cost of natural gas delivered to the
Company. To the extent, however, that any of PACC's products are purchased by
the Company and immediately resold to a non-affiliated third party, the price
payable to PACC by the Company for such product will be the purchase price
received by the Company from such third party, whether higher or lower than
the formula price, less a specified marketing fee. While market prices for
these commodities fluctuate throughout each day and the pricing formulas are
based on average daily prices, the Company expects that the price paid by any
third party purchaser of these products would be substantially the same as
that paid by the Company in the same circumstances. An independent engineer
has reviewed these formulas and found that the pricing reflects arms-length
mechanisms and market-based prices and contain fair market terms. The
marketing fee is intended to be consistent with a fair market fee that would
be charged by an unaffiliated third party. The cost of marketing these
products outside of this product purchase agreement would be incurred whether
PACC sold the products directly or paid the Company or another third party to
do so on its behalf. The Company's failure to perform under the product
purchase agreement would give PACC a cause of action for resulting damages to
PACC.

  Facility and Site Lease

   PACC is leasing the Company's crude unit, vacuum tower and one naphtha and
two distillate hydrotreaters and the site on which they are located at the
Port Arthur refinery pursuant to this facility and site lease for fair market
value. Pursuant to this facility and site lease, the Company has also granted
PACC an easement across the remainder of the Port Arthur refinery property
owned by it, a portion of the Company's dock adjacent to the

                                      26
<PAGE>

Port Arthur refinery and specified pipelines and crude oil handling facilities
needed to transport crude oil from docking facilities in Nederland, Texas, to
the Port Arthur refinery. After start-up of the heavy oil upgrade project,
PACC will make quarterly rent payments to the Company of approximately $8
million, which amount will be adjusted over time for inflation. This lease has
an initial term of 30 years, which may be renewed at PACC's option for five
additional renewal terms of five years each. Amounts due and receivable under
this agreement may not be offset against amounts otherwise due and receivable
from PACC.

  Ground Lease

   Under this lease, the Company is leasing sites to PACC within the Port
Arthur refinery on which their new processing units will be located. The
initial term of the ground lease is 30 years and it may be renewed for five
additional five-year terms. This lease was fully prepaid by PACC in advance
for $25,000, which approximated fair market value.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   The market risk inherent in the Company's market risk sensitive instruments
and positions is the potential loss from adverse changes in commodity prices
and interest rates. None of the Company's market risk sensitive instruments
are held for trading.

Commodity Risk

   The Company's earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected
by a variety of factors beyond its control, including the supply of, and
demand for, commodities such as crude oil, which is the Company's single
greatest cost component, as well as gasoline and other refined products, which
are the Company's only products. The demand for these refined products depends
on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather
conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the
availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of
government regulation. As a result, crude oil and refined product prices
fluctuate significantly, which directly impact the Company's net sales and
operating revenues and costs of sales.

   The movement in petroleum prices does not necessarily have a direct long-
term relationship to net earnings. The effect of changes in crude oil prices
on the Company's operating results is determined more by the rate at which the
prices of refined products adjust to reflect such changes. The Company is
required to fix the price of its crude oil purchases approximately two to
three weeks prior to when the crude oil can be processed and sold. As a
result, the Company is exposed to crude oil price movements during such
period. In addition, in 1997 and 1998 the market value of the Company's
petroleum inventory was below original cost, which resulted in a writedown of
inventory to fair market value. The Company expects earnings will continue to
be impacted by these writedowns, or recovery of writedowns, to market value.

 Earnings Sensitivity

   The following table illustrates the estimated pre-tax earnings impact based
on average historical operating rates, fixed price purchase commitments and
inventory levels resulting from potential changes in several key refining
market margin indicators and crude oil prices described below. This analysis
may differ from actual results because the Company produces many other
products and uses many other feedstocks that are not reflected in these
indicators.

  . Sweet crude oil cracking margins--the spread between gasoline and diesel
    fuel prices and input costs (e.g., a benchmark light sweet crude oil)

  . Sweet/sour differentials--the spread between a benchmark light sour crude
    oil and a benchmark light sweet crude oil


                                      27
<PAGE>

  . Heavy/light differentials--the spread between a benchmark light sweet
    crude oil and a benchmark heavy sour crude oil

  . Fixed price purchase commitments--fixed price purchase commitments for
    crude oil required for the two to three weeks prior to when products are
    refined and sold.

  . Lower of cost or market adjustment--physical inventory subject to lower
    of cost or market adjustments while carrying value is below original cost

</TABLE>

   The Company utilizes limited risk management tools to mitigate risk
associated with fluctuations in petroleum prices on its normal operating
petroleum inventories. The Company believes this policy is appropriate since
inventories are required to operate the business and are expected to be owned
for an extended period of time. The Company believes the cost of the extensive
use of such tools to manage short-term fluctuations outweigh the benefits.

   The Company occasionally uses several strategies to minimize the impact on
profitability of volatility in feedstock costs and refined product prices.
These strategies generally involve the purchase and sale of exchange-traded,
energy-related futures and options with a duration of six months or less. In
addition, the Company to a lesser extent uses energy swap agreements similar
to those traded on the exchanges, such as crack spreads and crude oil options,
to better match the specific price movements in the Company's markets as
opposed to the delivery point of the exchange-traded contract. These
strategies are designed to minimize, on a short-term basis, the Company's
exposure to the risk of fluctuations in crude oil prices and refined product
margins. The number of barrels of crude oil and refined products covered by
such contracts varies from time to time. Such purchases and sales are closely
managed and subject to internally established risk standards. The results of
these hedging activities affect refining cost of sales and inventory costs.
The Company does not engage in speculative futures or derivative transactions.

   A sensitivity analysis was prepared to estimate the Company's exposure to
market risk associated with derivative commodity positions. This analysis may
differ from actual results. The fair value of each derivative commodity
position was based on quoted futures prices. As of December 31, 1999, a 10%
change in quoted futures prices would result in a $1.5 million change to the
fair market value of the derivative commodity position and correspondingly the
same change in operating income.

Interest Rate Risk

   The Company's principal interest rate risk is associated with its long-term
debt. The Company manages this rate risk by maintaining a high percentage of
its long-term debt with fixed rates. In addition, the Company has no material
principal payments due prior to 2003, but as of December 31, 1999 had the
flexibility to call $411.7 million of its long term debt, including all of its
floating rate bank term loan. A 1% change in the interest rate on long-term
debt would result in a $9.7 million change in operating income. This
determination is based on 1% of the Company's long-term debt outstanding at
December 31, 1999. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its
floating rate bank term loan and any direct borrowings under Clark R&M's
credit facility. As of December 31, 1999, $240.0 million of the Company's
long-term debt was based on floating interest rates. There were no direct cash
borrowings under Clark R&M's credit facility.

Short-Term Performance Plan

   Employees of the Company participate in an annual incentive plan that
places at risk an incremental portion of their total compensation based on
Company and/or individual performance. The targeted at-risk compensation
increases with the ability of the individual to affect business performance,
ranging from 12% for support personnel to 200% for the Chief Executive
Officer. The other executive officers have the opportunity to earn an annual
incentive equal to 150% of the individual's base salary. The actual award is
determined based on financial performance with individual and executive team
performance evaluated against pre-established operating objectives designed to
achieve planned financial results. For essentially all other employees, annual
incentives are based on specific performance indicators utilized to operate
the business, principally productivity and profitability measures.

Long-Term Performance Plan

   In 1999, the 1995 Clark USA Long-Term Performance Plan was terminated, and
Clark Holdings adopted the Clark Refining Holdings Inc. 1999 Stock Option
Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan"). Under the Incentive Plan, employees of
Clark Holdings and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards of options
to purchase shares of the common stock of Clark Holdings. The Incentive Plan
is intended to attract and retain executives and other selected employees
whose skills and talents are important to the operations of Clark Holdings and
its subsidiaries, including the Company. Options on an aggregate amount of
2,215,250 shares of Clark Holdings' Common Stock may be awarded under the
Incentive Plan, either from authorized, unissued shares which have been
reserved for such purpose or from authorized, issued shares acquired by or on
behalf of Clark Holdings. The current aggregate amount of stock available to
be awarded is subject to a stock dividend or split, reorganization,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of
stock. In 1999, options for the purchase of 1,752,500 shares of the common
stock of Clark Holdings were granted at an exercise price of $9.90 per share
and options for the purchase of 152,500 shares of the common stock of Clark
Holdings were granted at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. As of December
31, 1999, 1,752,500 stock options for the purchase of the common stock of
Clark Holdings were outstanding at an exercise price of $9.90 per share and
152,500 stock options were outstanding at an exercise price of $15.00 per
share under the Incentive Plan.

   The Board of Directors of Clark Holdings ("Board") administers the
Incentive Plan, but may delegate certain responsibilities to the Compensation
Committee of the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Incentive Plan, the
Board is authorized to determine who may participate in the Incentive Plan and
the number and types of awards made to each participant, and the terms,
conditions, requirements, and limitations applicable to each award. Awards may
also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as
alternates to, grants or rights under any other employee plan of Clark
Holdings and its subsidiaries. Subject to certain limitations, the Board is
authorized to amend, modify or terminate the Incentive Plan to meet any
changes in legal requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law.

   For options granted in 1999, including grants to the named executive
officers, there are two vesting options, time vesting and performance vesting,
under the Incentive Plan. Under time vesting, options are vested 50% at the
date of grant and 25% on each January 1 thereafter. Under performance vesting,
options are fully vested on and after the seventh anniversary of the date of
grant; or following a public offering of the common stock or upon a change in
control, the vesting is accelerated based on the achievement of certain per
share prices of the common stock. The accelerated vesting schedule is as
follows:

   The change in control price is defined as the highest price per share
received by any holder of the common stock from the purchaser(s) in a
transaction or series of transactions that result in a Change in Control. All
options expire no more than ten years after the date of grant.

   If the employment of a participant terminates, subject to certain
exceptions for death, disability, or cause (as defined in the applicable
employment agreement), all shares not exercisable will be canceled
immediately, unless the award agreement provides otherwise. All exercisable
shares will terminate 90 days after the participant's termination of
employment. Subject to certain exceptions for death or disability, no award or
other benefit under the Incentive Plan is assignable or transferable, or
payable to or exercisable by anyone other than the participant to whom it was
granted.

   In the event of a "Change of Control" of Clark Holdings, the Board with
respect to any award may take such actions that cause (i) the acceleration of
the award, (ii) the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation
of an award and/or (iii) the requiring of the issuance of substitute awards
that will substantially preserve the value, rights, and benefits of any
affected awards.

Clark Savings Plan

   The Clark Savings Plan, which became effective in 1989, permits employees
to make before-tax and after-tax contributions and provides for employer
incentive matching contributions. Under the Savings Plan, each employee of the
Company (and such other related companies as may adopt the Savings Plan) who
has completed at least six months of service may become a participant.
Participants are permitted to make before-tax contributions to the Savings
Plan, effected through payroll deduction, of from 1% to 15% of their
compensation. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 200% of a
participant's before-tax contributions up to 3% of compensation. Additionally,
for represented employees at the Port Arthur and Lima refineries, the Company
makes matching contributions equal to 100% of a participants before-tax
contributions above 3% up to 6% of compensation. Participants are also
permitted to make after-tax contributions through payroll deduction, of from
1% to 5% of compensation, which are not matched by employer contributions;
provided that before-tax contributions and after-tax contributions, in the
aggregate, may not exceed the lesser of 15% of compensation or $10,500 in
2000. All employer contributions, except those for union represented
employees, are fully vested from the onset of eligibility in the plan. Amounts
in employees' accounts may be invested in a variety of permitted investments,
as directed by the employee. Participants' vested accounts are distributable
upon a participant's disability, death, retirement or separation from service.
Subject to certain restrictions, employees may make loans or withdrawals of
employee contributions during the term of their employment.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

   Compensation of the Company's executive officers has historically been
determined by the Company's board of directors. Mr. Rusnack, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, is a member of the Company's board of
directors. Other than reimbursement of their expenses, the Company's directors
do not receive any compensation for their services as directors, except Mr.
Cohen. See Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant. There
are no interlocks between the Company and other entities involving the
Company's executive officers and board members who serve as executive officers
or board members of other entities, except with respect to Clark R&M, Clark
USA, Sabine River Holding Corp., Neches River Holding Corp., Port Arthur
Finance Corp., Clark Holdings, and Clark Holdings' principal shareholders,
Blackstone and Oxy.

Employment Agreement for William C. Rusnack

   The Company has entered into a memorandum of agreement (the "Agreement")
with William C. Rusnack (the "Executive"). The Agreement has a term beginning
on the date that it was executed (the "Agreement Date") and ending on the
fourth anniversary of the Agreement Date (the "Initial Term"), provided, that
if neither the Executive nor the Company gives 30 days notice prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term then the Agreement shall be automatically
renewed for an additional one year renewal term (a "Renewal Term"). Similarly,
if neither the Executive nor the Company gives 30 days notice prior to the
expiration of any Renewal Term, then the Agreement shall be automatically
renewed for an additional one year Renewal Term. In the event of a Change in
Control (as defined therein), the Agreement shall remain in effect until at
least the second anniversary of the Change in Control.

                                      33

   The Agreement also provides that: (i) the Executive shall be Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Company and Clark USA, (ii) the
Executive's base salary shall not be less than $415,000 (the "Salary"), (iii)
the Executive's bonus opportunity shall be equal to 200% of the salary and his
target bonus (the "Target Bonus") shall be equal to 100% of the Salary, (iv)
the Executive will be provided with welfare benefits and other fringe benefits
to the same extent and on the same terms as those benefits are provided to the
Company's other senior management employees, (v) the Executive shall
participate in the Company's relocation policy at level 4, and (vi) the
Executive shall receive a gross-up for any parachute excise taxes that may
result from any payment, whether under the Agreement or otherwise.

   In the event that Executive's employment is (a) terminated by the Company
without Cause (as defined therein), (b) terminated by the Executive for Good
Reason (as defined therein), or (c) terminates at the end of the Initial Term
(or a Renewal Term) because the Company gave notice preventing the occurrence
of a Renewal Term, then the Executive shall receive from the Company: (i) in
addition to any other compensation and benefits accrued but unpaid, a lump sum
equal to the product of (a) three and (b) the sum of the Salary and Target
Bonus, (ii) relocation and counseling services, and (iii) continued
participation in all life insurance, medical, dental, health and accident and
disability plans, programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to
participate immediately prior to his termination for up to one year.

Employment Agreement for Maura J. Clark

   On July 8, 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Maura J. Clark (the "Agreement") which expires in five years with a provision
for automatic extension on an annual basis unless either party gives 90 days'
notice of cancellation. The Agreement provides that if a Change of Control
occurs within two years prior to the scheduled expiration date, then the
expiration date will be automatically extended until the second anniversary of
the Change of Control date.

   During the term of the Agreement, the employee is precluded from soliciting
or encouraging proposals regarding the acquisition of Clark USA or its
subsidiaries (or of another material part of the business of Clark USA),
absent explicit approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

   The Agreement provides separation benefits to the employee if the
employee's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" prior to
the expiration date of the agreement. "Cause" is defined to include the
employee's failure to substantially perform her duties, willful misconduct
that materially injures Clark USA or its affiliates, or conviction of a
criminal offense involving dishonesty or moral turpitude. The Agreement also
provides that if the employee resigns for "Good Reason" prior to the
expiration date of the agreement, the employee will receive separation
benefits. "Good Reason" is defined to include certain demotions, reductions in
compensation, and relocation.

   The separation benefits payable under the Agreement generally include a
lump sum payment of three times annual salary and bonus, acceleration of stock
option exercisability, continuation of the Company's life, medical, accident
and disability arrangements for one year after termination of employment
(subject to the employee's continuing to pay the employee share of the
premiums), payment of the cost of job relocation counseling, and payment of
legal fees in connection with termination.

   The Agreement also provides for gross-up payments to be made to the

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc.:

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clark
Refining & Marketing, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
1998 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31,
1998 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

               CLARK REFINING & MARKETING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

             For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998, and 1999
              (Tabular dollar amounts in millions of US dollars)

1. Nature of Business

   Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Clark R&M" or
"the Company") is wholly owned by Clark USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Clark USA"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clark Refining Holdings
Inc. ("Clark Holdings"). Clark R&M's principal operations include the refining
of crude oil into gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other petroleum
products. The Company also sold petroleum products and convenience store items
in retail stores in the central United States until July 8, 1999 when the
Company sold these retail marketing operations. Accordingly, the retail
marketing operation's net assets have been segregated from the continuing
operations in the consolidated balance sheets, and its operating results are
segregated and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.

   The Company's earnings and cash flow from continuing operations are
primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling quantities of
refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities, and factors largely
out of the Company's control can cause prices to vary, in a wide range, over a
short period of time. This potential margin volatility can have a material
effect on financial position, current period earnings, and cash flow.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Principles of Consolidation

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
principally Clark Port Arthur Pipeline, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and Clark
Investments, Inc. a Nevada Corporation. The Company consolidates the assets,
liabilities, and results of operations of subsidiaries in which the Company
has a controlling interest. Investments in companies in which the Company owns
20 percent to 50 percent voting control are generally accounted for by the
equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

 Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

   The Company considers all highly liquid investments, such as time deposits,
money market instruments, commercial paper and United States and foreign
government securities, purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less, to be cash equivalents.

 Inventories

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
under the last-in, first-out "LIFO" method for hydrocarbon inventories
including crude oil, refined products, and blendstocks. The cost of warehouse
stock and other inventories is determined under the first-in, first-out method
"FIFO".

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


 Hedging Activity

   The Company considers all futures and options contracts to be part of its
risk management strategy. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts are
recognized as a product cost component unless the contract can be identified
as a price risk hedge of specific inventory positions or open commitments, in
which case the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and recognized as an
adjustment to the carrying amount of petroleum inventories or accounts payable
if related to open commitments. Deferred gains and losses on these contracts
are recognized as an adjustment to product cost when such inventories are sold
or consumed.

 Property, Plant, and Equipment

   Property, plant, and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation
of property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets or group of assets. The Company
capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects
based on the effective interest rate on aggregate borrowings. The useful lives
of the plant and equipment used for depreciation are as follows:

<TABLE>
      <S>                                                         <C>
      Process units, buildings, and oil storage & movement....... 25 to 30 years
      Office equipment and furniture............................. 10 years
      Computer and computer equipment............................ 3 to 5 years
      Autos...................................................... 3 years
</TABLE>

   Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed. Major replacements
and additions are capitalized. Gains and losses on assets depreciated on an
individual basis are reflected in current operating income. Upon disposal of
assets depreciated on a group basis, unless unusual in nature or amount,
residual cost less salvage is charged against accumulated depreciation.

   The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairments whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable.

 Deferred Turnaround

   A turnaround is a periodically required standard procedure for maintenance
of a refinery that involves the shutdown and inspection of major processing
units and generally occurs approximately every three to five years. Turnaround
costs include actual direct and contract labor, and material costs incurred
for the overhaul, inspection, and replacement of major components of refinery
processing and support units performed during turnaround. Turnaround costs,
which are included in "Other assets", are amortized over the period until the
next scheduled turnaround, beginning the month following completion. The
amortization of the turnaround costs is presented as "Amortization" on the
consolidated statements of operations.

 Environmental Costs

   Environmental liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments
and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Reimbursements for underground storage remediation are also recorded when
probable and can be reasonably estimated.

   Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending upon their
future economic benefit. Costs that improve a property as compared with the
condition of the property when originally constructed or acquired and costs
that prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. Costs that
return a property to its condition at the time of acquisition or original
construction are expensed.

 Income Taxes

   Clark R&M files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with Clark
Holdings but computes its provision on a separate company basis. Deferred
taxes are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the classification
of the assets and liabilities to which the temporary differences relate.
Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to a
specific asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending
on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The
Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce the net
deferred tax asset to an amount expected to be realized.

 Stock Based Compensation Plan

   The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB Opinion No. 25") which generally requires
recognizing compensation cost based upon the intrinsic value at the date
granted of the equity instrument awarded. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock,
stock options and other equity instruments based on the fair value of those
instruments, but alternatively allows companies to disclose such impact in
their footnotes. The Company has elected to adopt the footnote disclosure
method.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. See
Footnote 9 "Long-Term Debt" for determination of fair value of long-term debt.

 New Accounting Standards

   In June 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. This
statement, as amended, becomes effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating this
new standard, the impact it may have on the Company's accounting and
reporting, and planning for when to adopt the standard.

3. Acquisition and Dispositions

   In July 1999, Clark R&M sold its retail marketing division in a
recapitalization transaction to Clark Retail Enterprises ("CRE"), which is
controlled by Apollo Management L.P., for net cash proceeds of $215 million. A
subsidiary of the Company's indirect parent, Clark Holdings, holds a six
percent equity interest in CRE. The retail marketing division sold included
all Company and independently-operated Clark branded stores and the Clark
trade name. In general, the buyer assumed unknown environmental liabilities at
the retail stores they acquired up to $50,000 per site, as well as
responsibility for any post closing contamination. Subject to certain risk
sharing arrangements, the Company retained responsibility for all pre-
existing, known contamination. As part of the sale agreement, the Company also
entered into a two-year market-based supply agreement for refined products
that may be canceled with 90 days notice by the buyer.

   The retail marketing operations were classified as discontinued and the
results of operations were excluded from continuing operations in the
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The net sales revenue
from the retail marketing operation for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
$485.1 million (1998--$938.8 million; 1997--$1,151.3 million). "Net assets
held for sale" included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,

   In December 1999, Clark R&M sold 15 distribution terminals to Equilon
Enterprises L.L.C. ("Equilon") and a subsidiary of Equilon for net cash
proceeds of $34 million. The Company now has exchange and through-put
agreements at many of these terminal locations as well as new locations for
the distribution of refined products.

   In August 1998, Clark R&M purchased BP Amoco PLC's, formerly British
Petroleum, ("BP"), 170,000 barrel per day Lima, Ohio refinery, related
terminal facilities, and non-hydrocarbon inventories for a purchase price of
$175.0 million plus related acquisition costs of $11.3 million (the "Lima
Acquisition"). Hydrocarbon inventories were purchased for $34.9 million. The
Company assumed liabilities mainly related to employee benefits of $7.0
million. BP retained permanent responsibility for all known pre-existing
environmental liabilities and responsibility for a minimum of twelve years for
pre-existing but unknown environmental liabilities. The total cost of the
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with
$175.0 million allocated to the refinery long-term assets and $53.2 million
allocated to current assets for hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon inventories
and catalysts. Clark R&M funded the Lima Acquisition with existing cash and
the proceeds from the issuance of $110 million 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2008
and $115 million floating rate term loan due 2004 (see Note 9 "Long-Term
Debt").

   In 1998, the Company sold minority interests in Westshore Pipeline Company,
Wolverine Pipeline Company, Chicap Pipeline Company, and Southcap Pipeline
Company, for net proceeds of $76.4 million that resulted in a before and
after-tax gain of $69.3 million. Income from these interests for the year
ended December 31, 1998 was $5.3 million (1997--$8.2 million).

4. Financial Instruments

 Short-term Investments

   Short-term investments consist of investments, including United States
government security funds, maturing more than three months from date of
purchase. The Company invests only in AA rated or better fixed income
marketable securities or the short-term rated equivalent. The Company's short-
term investments are all considered Available-for-Sale and are carried at fair
value. Realized gains and losses are presented in "Interest and finance costs,
net" and are computed using the specific identification method. As of December
31, 1999, short-term investments consisted of U.S. Debt Securities of $1.4
million and were pledged as collateral for the

                                      47
<PAGE>

               CLARK REFINING & MARKETING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Company's self-insured workers compensation programs (1998--$4.5 million
pledged as collateral for the Company's self-insured workers compensation
programs and certain retail leases).

   For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, there were no
material unrealized or realized gains or losses on the short-term investments.
The amortized cost of short-term investments as of December 31, 1999 was $1.5
million maturing in one year or less.

 Derivative Financial Instruments

   Clark R&M enters into crude oil and refined products futures and options
contracts to limit risk related to hydrocarbon price fluctuations created by a
potentially volatile market. As of December 31, 1999, Clark R&M's open
contracts represented 2.5 million barrels of crude oil and refined products,
and had terms extending into June 2000. As of December 31, 1998, Clark R&M's
open contracts represented 1.2 million barrels of crude oil and refined
products and had terms extending into September 1999. As of December 31, 1999,
the Company had net unrealized gains on open futures and options contracts of
$6.6 million (1998--net unrealized gains of $1.3 million) all of which were
recognized and reflected as a component of operating income.

 Concentration of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. Credit risk on trade
receivables is minimized as a result of the credit quality of the Company's
customer base and industry collateralization practices. The Company conducts
ongoing evaluations of its customers and requires letters of credit or other
collateral as appropriate. Trade receivable credit losses for the three years
ended December 31, 1999 were not material.

   As of December 31, 1999, the Company had $24.5 million (1998--$11.4
million) due from Chevron USA Products Co. ("Chevron"). Sales to Chevron in
1999 totaled $392.5 million (1998--$340.1 million; 1997--$455.7 million).

   In conjunction with the supply agreement with CRE, the Company's billings
to CRE in 1999 totaled $482.5 million of which $355.9 million were product
sales and $126.6 million were related Federal and state excise and motor fuel
taxes that the Company collected and then remitted to governmental agencies.
The taxes were not included in "Net sales and operating revenue", "Cost of
sales", or "Operating expenses". The Company had $44.0 million receivable from
CRE as of December 31, 1999.

   The Company does not believe that it has a significant credit risk on its
derivative instruments which are transacted through the New York Mercantile
Exchange or with counterparties meeting established collateral and credit
criteria.

5. Inventories

   The carrying value of inventories consisted of the following:

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   With the sale of the retail marketing operations as well as an overall
reduction in refining-related inventories, inventory volumes decreased during
1999 creating a LIFO liquidation that resulted in increased pretax earnings of
$54.6 million.

   Any reserve for LIFO inventory value in excess over market is reversed if
physical inventories turn and prices recover. The reserve recorded in 1998 was
fully reversed in 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the market value of crude
oil, refined products, and blendstocks inventories was approximately $78.3
million above carrying value.

million of construction in progress, of which $50.7 million related to an
upgrade to the Port Arthur refinery including increasing crude unit capacity
to approximately 250,000 barrels per day. The upgrade at the Port Arthur
refinery is being done in conjunction with the construction of additional
coking and hydrocracking capability at the Port Arthur refinery site by Port
Arthur Coker Company L.P. This project is scheduled to be complete by January
2001. The remaining $61.6 million of construction in progress related to
refinery unit upgrades of $25.0 million and other projects such as information

   The company incurred deferred financing costs of $7.0 million in 1999
associated with the new working capital facility (See Footnote 8--"Working
Capital Facility").

8. Working Capital Facility

   In November 1999, Clark R&M entered into a secured revolving credit
facility expiring June 30, 2001, that replaced an existing secured revolving
credit facility, that provides for borrowings and the issuance of letters of
credit of up to the lesser of $620 million or the amount available under a
defined borrowing base calculation. The defined borrowing base calculation
takes into consideration Clark R&M's cash and eligible cash equivalents,
eligible investments, eligible receivables, eligible petroleum inventories,
paid but unexpired letters of credit, and net obligations on swap contracts
that totaled $690.8 million as of December 31, 1999. Clark R&M uses the
facility primarily for the issuance of letters of credit to secure purchases
of crude oil. As of December 31, 1999, $435.4 million (1998--$244.8 million)
of the line of credit was utilized for letters of credit, of which $183.7
million supported commitments for future deliveries of petroleum products. The
credit facility also allows for the issuance of additional cash-secured
letters of credit outside the $620 million committed facility of up to $50
million as collateral for the Port Arthur upgrade project and up to $20
million as collateral for non-hydrocarbon items such as Marine Preservation
Association dues and insurance bonds. As of December 31, 1999, letters of
credit for $50.0 million and $10.8 million were outstanding for the Port
Arthur upgrade project and the non-hydrocarbon items, respectively.

   Clark R&M is required to comply with certain financial covenants including
maintaining defined levels of working capital, cash, cash equivalents and
qualifying investments, tangible net worth, and cumulative cash flow. Direct
cash borrowings under the credit facility are limited to $50 million and would
be subject to interest rates related to prime lending rates in both the United
States of America and Eurodollar markets plus an applicable margin. This
margin ranges from 75 to 325 basis points depending on a matrix of the
Standard and Poors' and Moody's ratings of the Company's debt and the
Company's average cash, as defined, as a percentage of average outstanding
letters of credits under the credit facility. There were no direct cash
borrowings under any revolving credit facility as of December 31, 1999 and
1998.

redemption price of 104.187% of principal and 104.437% of principal,
respectively, which decreases to 100% of principal amount in 2004 and 2005,
respectively. Up to 35% in aggregate principal amount of the notes originally
issued are redeemable at the option of the Company out of the net proceeds of
one or more equity offerings at any time prior to November 15, 2001, at a
redemption price equal to 108.375% of principal for the 8 3/8% Senior Notes
and 108.875% of principal for the 8 7/8% Senior Notes.

   Clark R&M borrowed $125.0 million in November 1997, and an additional
$115.0 million in August 1998, under a floating rate term loan agreement
expiring in 2004. In 2003, $31.3 million of the outstanding principal amount
is due with the remainder of the outstanding principal due in 2004. The
Floating Rate Loan is a senior unsecured obligation of Clark R&M and bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 275 basis points. The loan may be repaid in
whole or in part at 100% of principal amount.

   The 9 1/2% Senior Notes were issued by Clark R&M in September 1992 and are
unsecured. The 9 1/2% Senior Notes are currently redeemable at the Company's
option at a redemption price of 100% of principal.

   The Clark R&M note indentures contain certain restrictive covenants
including limitations on the payment of dividends, limitations on the payment
of amounts to related parties, limitations on the incurrence of debt,
redemption provisions related to change of control, and incurrence of liens
and maintenance of a minimum net worth.

   The scheduled maturities of long-term debt during the next five years are
(in millions): 2000--$10.5 (included in "Accrued expenses and other"); 2001
and 2002--$0.0; 2003--$117.0; 2004 and thereafter--$679.7.

 Extinguishment of Debt

   In 1997, the Company redeemed its 10 1/2% Senior Notes. As a result, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $10.7 million for the redemption
premiums ($5.9 million), the write-off of deferred financing costs ($3.7
million) and other related costs ($1.1 million).

10. Lease Commitments

   The Company leases refinery equipment, catalyst, tank cars, office space,
and office equipment with lease terms ranging from 1 to 8 years with the
option to purchase some of the equipment at the end of the lease term at fair
market value. The leases generally provide that the Company pay taxes,
insurance, and maintenance expenses related to the leased assets. As of
December 31, 1999, net future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable
operating leases were as follows (in millions): 2000--$7.2; 2001--$5.8; 2002--
$4.3; 2003--$3.5; 2004--$1.5; and $1.5 in the aggregate thereafter. Rental
expense during 1999 was $12.6 million (1998--$10.6 million; 1997--$10.4
million).

11. Related Party Transactions

   Related party transactions that are not discussed elsewhere in the
footnotes are as follows:

 Clark USA, Inc.

   During 1999 and 1998, the Company returned capital to Clark USA of $39.5
million and $15.0 million, respectively, for Clark USA's payment of interest
regarding the 10 7/8% Senior Notes. During 1997, the Company returned $215.0
million of capital to Clark USA for its repurchase of the Zero Coupon Notes.

 Clark Refining Holdings Inc.

   As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a payable to Clark Holdings for
management fees paid by Clark Holdings on the Company's behalf of $3.8
million.

 Management Services

   As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a payable to The Blackstone Group
("Blackstone"), an affiliate of its principal shareholder, of $0.6 million
(December 31, 1998--$3.2 million for annual monitoring fees and transaction
fees related to the Lima Acquisition) for annual monitoring fees. The Company
has an agreement with an affiliate of Blackstone under which Blackstone would
receive a monitoring fee equal to $2.0 million per annum subject to increases
relating to inflation and in respect of additional acquisitions by the
Company. Affiliates of Blackstone may in the future receive customary fees for
advisory services rendered to the Company. Such fees will be negotiated from
time to time with the independent members of the Company's board of directors
on an arm's-length basis and will be based on the services performed and the
prevailing fees then charged by third parties for comparable services.

   In connection with the Blackstone Transaction in 1997 (see Note 14 "Equity
Recapitalization and Change in Control"), affiliates of Blackstone received
fees of $7.0 million, and the Company reimbursed Blackstone for $1.7 million
of out-of-pocket expenses related to the Blackstone Transaction and the
issuance of the 8 3/8% Senior Notes and 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

 Port Arthur Coker Company L.P.

   In March 1998, the Company entered into a long-term crude oil supply
agreement with PMI Comercio Internacional, S. A. de C.V. ("PMI"), an affiliate
of Petroleos Mexicanos, the Mexican state oil company. As a result of this
contract, the Company began developing a project to upgrade the Port Arthur
refinery to process

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

primarily lower-cost, heavy sour crude oil of the type to be purchased from
PMI. The heavy oil upgrade project includes the construction of new coking,
hydrocracking and sulfur removal capability, and the expansion of the existing
crude unit to approximately 250,000 barrels per day. In August 1999, the
Company sold for $157.1 million the construction work-in-progress on the new
processing units to Port Arthur Coker Company L.P. ("PACC"), a company that is
an affiliate of, but not controlled by or consolidated with, the Company or
its subsidiaries, and leased the construction site for these units to PACC.
The Company also sold to PACC for $2.2 million the oil supply agreement with
PMI and environmental permits for the new processing units that had already
been obtained by the Company. The assets were sold at fair market value, as
determined by an independent engineer, which approximated cost and accordingly
no gain or loss was recorded. The Company remains liable for a $15 million
termination payment to PMI if the heavy oil upgrade project is terminated and
an alternative long term crude oil supply agreement for the Port Arthur
refinery is entered into with a company other than PMI during 30 months
following the termination of the project.

   As part of the heavy oil upgrade project, the Company is undertaking the
upgrading of existing units at the Port Arthur refinery, including the
expansion of the crude unit, which the Company is leasing to PACC for fair
market value. The Company's portion of the project is expected to cost
approximately $120 million, of which $50.7 million was expended through
December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a letter of credit
in favor of Foster Wheeler USA for $86.9 million to collateralize its
obligations related to the Port Arthur heavy oil upgrade project.

   The heavy oil upgrade project is expected to be mechanically complete by
November 2000 with start-up of the project in the first quarter of 2001. The
Company entered into agreements with PACC pursuant to which the Company will
provide certain operating, maintenance and other services and will purchase
the output from PACC's processing of the Maya crude oil available to it under
the PMI crude oil agreement. The finished products produced by the Company
will be substantially similar to those historically produced by the Company as
a result of the upgrade project and its arrangements with PACC. The Company
expects to be able to provide services to PACC principally using its existing
workforce. The Company will receive compensation under these agreements at
fair market value that is expected to be in the aggregate favorable to the
Company. As a result of these agreements, PACC will become a significant
supplier of partially-refined products representing approximately 200,000
barrels per day of feedstocks for the Port Arthur refinery. At December 31,
1999, the Company had a net outstanding receivable balance of $0.4 million
from PACC, consisting of a receivable of $0.5 million for services provided
under the services and supply agreement and fees paid by the Company on PACC's
behalf and a $0.1 million payable for the overpayment of such services in a
prior period. These amounts may be offset. A summary of these agreements is as
follows:

 .Services and Supply Agreement

   Pursuant to this agreement, the Company will provide to PACC a number of
services and supplies needed for operation of their new and leased units. The
Company is required to provide all such services and supplies in accordance
with specified standards, including prudent industry practices. These services
and supplies include the following:

  . Operating the Company's process units that are leased to PACC;

  . Operating and maintaining the other portions of the Port Arthur refinery
    owned by the Company in a manner that ensures its ongoing ability to
    perform its obligations to PACC and that is consistent with specified
    standards and the efficient operation of PACC's new and leased units;

  . Performing routine, preventative and major maintenance for PACC's new and
    leased units;

  . Supervising and training PACC's employees;

  . Managing the processing of PACC's feedstocks through the new and leased
    units;

<PAGE>

               CLARK REFINING & MARKETING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

  . Managing crude oil purchases on behalf of PACC and the transportation of
    such oil to the Port Arthur refinery;

  . Procuring and managing supply contracts on PACC's behalf for the portion
    of light crude oil that is necessary for processing heavy crude oil by
    PACC;

  . Procuring an alternative supply of crude oil should Maya no longer be
    available to PACC pursuant to their long term crude oil supply agreement
    with PMI;

  . Coordinating the scheduling and performance of all maintenance
    turnarounds of processing units at the Port Arthur refinery, including
    turnarounds of units comprising PACC's new and leased units, in
    accordance with industry standards and in a manner that, when possible,
    minimizes operational disruptions to, and economic impact on, when
    possible, both PACC and the Company;

  . Providing utilities and other support services; and

  . Providing or arranging for all feedstocks (other than crude oil),
    catalysts, chemicals and other materials necessary for the operation of
    PACC's new and leased units and a number of other services including
    contract management services, procurement services, personnel management
    services, security services and emergency response services.

   Under the services and supply agreement, the Company also has a right of
first refusal, which it may exercise each quarter, to require PACC to process
crude oil in an amount equal to the portion, if any, of the processing
capacity of PACC's new and leased units that exceeds the amount they need to
process the Maya available to PACC under their long term crude oil supply
agreement with PMI or an equivalent amount available to them under an
alternative supply arrangement. The Company will pay a processing fee for each
quarter that it exercises this right of first refusal. The Company expects the
portion available to it pursuant to this right to be approximately 20% of the
processing capacity of PACC's new and leased units. Amounts due and receivable
under this agreement may be offset against each other, but not against amounts
otherwise due and receivable from PACC.

 Product Purchase Agreement

   Pursuant to the product purchase agreement, the Company is obligated to
accept and pay for all final and intermediate products of PACC's new and
leased units that are tendered for delivery, subject to the Company's right as
PACC's sole customer to request that PACC's new and leased units produce a
certain mix of products. This right, however, is subject to specified
limitations that are designed to ensure that PACC utilizes the entire amount
of Maya available to it under its long term crude oil supply agreement or an
equivalent amount from an alternative supplier and that the operations of the
Port Arthur refinery are optimized in a manner that is mutually beneficial to
PACC and the Company and that does not benefit the Company at PACC's expense.
Amounts due and receivable under this agreement may not be offset with amounts
otherwise due and receivable from PACC.

   PACC's new and leased units will produce a variety of products, some of
which are readily saleable on the open market, including finished refined
products such as petroleum coke, sulfur, kerosene, or other finished refined
products, and some of which are intermediate refined products, including
products such as gas oils, unfinished naphthas, unfinished jet fuel and other
intermediate refined products. The Company will be purchasing these products
from PACC for immediate resale, in the case of finished refined products, or
for further processing into higher-valued products in the case of intermediate
refined products. The Company may sell excess intermediate refined products if
the supply of these products exceeds its needs because of refinery unit
shutdowns or temporary reduced capacity.


                                      54

               CLARK REFINING & MARKETING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   The product purchase agreement includes pricing formulas for each of the 42
products expected to be produced by PACC's new and leased units. These
formulas are intended to reflect fair market pricing of these products and
will be used to determine the amounts payable to PACC by the Company. Many of
the intermediate refined products do not have a widely quoted market price. As
a result, formulas for these products are based on widely quoted product
prices of other refined products from sources such as Platt's Oilgram Price
Report, Oil Pricing Information Service or Dynergy or is calculated based on
the weighted average of delivered cost of natural gas delivered to the
Company. To the extent, however, that any of PACC's products are purchased by
the Company and immediately resold to a non-affiliated third party, the price
payable to PACC by the Company for such product will be the purchase price
received by the Company from such third party, whether higher or lower than
the formula price, less a specified marketing fee. While market prices for
these commodities fluctuate throughout each day and the pricing formulas are
based on average daily prices, the Company expects that the price paid by any
third party purchaser of these products would be substantially the same as
that paid by the Company in the same circumstances. An independent engineer
has reviewed these formulas and found that the pricing reflects arms-length
mechanisms and market-based prices and contain fair market terms. The
marketing fee is intended to be consistent with a fair market fee that would
be charged by an unaffiliated third party. The cost of marketing these
products outside of this product purchase agreement would be incurred whether
PACC sold the products directly or paid the Company or another third party to
do so on its behalf. The Company's failure to perform under the product
purchase agreement would give PACC a cause of action for resulting damages to
PACC.

 Facility and Site Lease

   PACC is leasing the Company's crude unit, vacuum tower and one naphtha and
two distillate hydrotreaters and the site on which they are located at the
Port Arthur refinery pursuant to this facility and site lease for fair market
value. Pursuant to this facility and site lease, the Company has also granted
PACC an easement across the remainder of the Port Arthur refinery property
owned by it, a portion of the Company's dock adjacent to the Port Arthur
refinery and specified pipelines and crude oil handling facilities needed to
transport crude oil from docking facilities in Nederland, Texas, to the Port
Arthur refinery. After start-up of the heavy oil upgrade project, PACC will
make quarterly rent payments to the Company of approximately $8 million, which
amount will be adjusted over time for inflation. This lease has an initial
term of 30 years, which may be renewed at PACC's option for five additional
renewal terms of five years each. Amounts due and receivable under this
agreement may not be offset against amounts otherwise due and receivable from
PACC.

 Ground Lease

   Under this lease, the Company is leasing sites to PACC within the Port
Arthur refinery on which their new processing units will be located. The
initial term of the ground lease is 30 years and it may be renewed for five
additional five-year terms. This lease was fully prepaid by PACC in advance
for $25,000, which approximated fair market value.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

 Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

   Clark R&M provides health insurance in excess of social security and an
employee paid deductible amount, and life insurance to most retirees once they
have reached a specified age and specified years of service.

</TABLE>

   In measuring the expected postretirement benefit obligation, the Company
assumed a discount rate of 7.50% (1998--7.00%), a rate of increase in the
compensation level of 4.00% (1998--4.00%), and a health care cost trend
ranging from 7.75% to 6.75% in 1999 to an ultimate rate of 5.25% in 2002. The
effect of increasing the average health care cost trend rates by one
percentage point would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1999, by $6.5 million and increase the annual
aggregate service and interest costs by $0.8 million. The effect of decreasing
the average health care cost trend rates by one percentage point would
decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as of December 31,
1999, by $7.8 million and decrease the annual aggregate service and interest
costs by $1.0 million.

 Employee Savings Plan

   The Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and separate
Trust (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan, covers substantially all
employees of Clark. Under terms of the Plan, Clark R&M matches the amount of
employee contributions, subject to specified limits. Company contributions to
the Plan during 1999 were $8.4 million (1998--$6.4 million; 1996-- $5.4
million).

13. Income Taxes

   Clark provides for deferred taxes under the asset and liability approach,
which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

</TABLE>

   As of December 31, 1999, Clark has made net cumulative payments of $20.0
million under the Federal alternative minimum tax system which are available
to reduce future regular income tax payments. As of December 31, 1999, Clark
had a Federal net operating loss carryforward of $277.4 million and Federal
business tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $4.2 million. Such
operating losses and tax credit carryforwards have carryover periods of 15
years (20 years for losses and credits originating in 1998 and years
thereafter) and are available to reduce future tax liabilities through the
year ending December 31, 2019. The tax credit carryover periods will begin to
terminate with the year ending December 31, 2003 and the net operating loss
carryover periods will begin to terminate with the year ending December 31,
2010.

   The valuation allowance as of December 31, 1999 was $41.4 million (1998--
$36.8 million). In calculating the increase in the valuation allowance, Clark
assumed as future taxable income only future reversals of existing taxable
temporary differences and available tax planning strategies.

   Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") allows a 10-year
carryback period for specified liability losses, as defined. During 1997, 1998
and 1999 Clark filed federal and state refund claims based upon the carryback
of $104.0 million of specified liability losses arising in years 1994 through
1998. During 1999 the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded an audit
examination, subject to Joint Committee review, of the taxable years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996. As part of the audit examination, the IRS reduced
the amount of the federal refund claims arising from the carryback of
specified liability losses arising in years 1994, 1995 and 1996. The carryback
of specified liability losses has reduced Clark's federal net operating loss
carryforward as of December 31, 1999 to $277.4 million. The Internal Revenue
Service has not yet audited the refund claims arising from the carryback of
specified liability losses arising in years 1997 and 1998. The unaudited
refund claims, if fully recovered, would provide a current tax benefit of $9.3
million. In addition, the unaudited refund claims, if fully recovered, would
recharacterize $7.6 million of deferred tax assets from tax loss carryforwards
to alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. However, Section 172 of the
Code is an unsettled area of the law and the unaudited refund claims are
expected to come under audit examination. Of the total unaudited potential
current tax benefit, the Company has recognized $4.1 million.

   During 1999, Clark USA made net federal cash tax payments of $0.3 million
(1998--$10.2 million net cash refunds; 1997--$5.0 million net cash payments).
The Company provides for its portion of such consolidated refunds and
liability under its tax sharing agreement with Clark USA. During 1999, Clark
received net cash state tax refunds of $0.4 million (1998--$1.3 million net
cash payments; 1997--$2.6 million net cash payments).

   The income tax benefit on the loss from continuing operations of $16.2
million for 1999 reflected the effect of intraperiod tax allocations resulting
from the utilization of current year operating losses to offset the net gain
on the operations and sale of the discontinued retail division, offset by the
write-down of a net deferred tax asset.

   Section 382 of the Code restricts the utilization of net operating losses
and other carryover tax attributes upon the occurrence of an ownership change,
as defined. Such an ownership change occurred during 1997 as a result of the
purchase of a majority interest in the Company by an affiliate of Blackstone
(see Note 14 "Equity Recapitalization and Change in Control"). However, based
upon the existence of future taxable income from reversals of existing taxable
temporary differences and available tax planning strategies, management
believes such limitation will not restrict the Company's ability to
significantly utilize the net operating losses over the allowable carryforward
periods.

14. Equity Recapitalization and Change in Control

   Pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated April 27, 1999, all the shares
of Clark R&M's parent Clark USA were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for
shares of Clark Holdings resulting in Clark Holdings being the sole
shareholder of Clark USA.

   On November 3, 1997, Blackstone acquired the 13.5 million shares of Common
Stock of Clark USA previously held by TrizecHahn and certain of its
subsidiaries (the "Blackstone Transaction"), as a result of which Blackstone
obtained a controlling interest in Clark USA. In 1997, the Company recorded a
charge to operations in the amount of $40.0 million for recapitalization
expenses, asset write-offs, and other charges incurred in connection with the
Company's equity recapitalization and change in control. The total charge
included $20.3 million of asset write-offs principally related to an
investment in a project initiated to produce low-sulfur diesel fuel at the
Hartford refinery (the "DHDS Project"); $10.7 million of transaction,
advisory, and monitoring fees related to the Blackstone Transaction; and $9.0
million resulting from a change in strategic direction primarily for certain
environmental, legal and other accruals related to existing actions.

   In 1992, the DHDS Project was delayed based on internal and third party
analysis that indicated an oversupply of low-sulfur diesel fuel capacity in
the Company's market. Based on the analysis, the Company projected relatively
narrow price differentials between low and high sulfur products. The Company
intended to complete the DHDS Project when differentials between low and high
sulfur diesel fuel prices widened. From 1992 to 1996 the Company performed a
cash flow analysis each year assuming the project would be completed to
determine whether the DHDS Project was impaired as defined under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." In December 1997, subsequent to the
Blackstone Transaction, the Company determined that certain equipment
purchased for the DHDS Project would yield a higher value being utilized at
the Hartford and Port Arthur refineries, rather than remaining idle until the
diesel fuel differentials widened sufficiently to justify completing the DHDS
Project. As a result of this decision, the equipment was written down to its
fair market value as determined utilizing estimated used equipment market
values, and engineer costs were determined to have no value due to the
engineering being only useful for a DHDS unit.

15. Stock Option Plans

   In 1999, the 1995 Clark USA Long-Term Performance Plan was terminated, and
Clark Holdings adopted the Clark Refining Holdings Inc. 1999 Stock Option
Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan"). Under the Incentive

                                      59

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Plan, employees of Clark Holdings and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive
awards of options to purchase shares of the common stock of Clark Holdings.
The Incentive Plan is intended to attract and retain executives and other
selected employees whose skills and talents are important to the operations of
Clark Holdings and its subsidiaries. Options on an aggregate amount of
2,215,250 shares of Clark Holdings' Common Stock may be awarded under the
Incentive Plan, either from authorized, unissued shares which have been
reserved for such purpose or from authorized, issued shares acquired by or on
behalf of the Company. The current aggregate amount of stock available to be
awarded is subject to a stock dividend or split, reorganization,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of
stock. In 1999, options for the purchase of 1,752,500 shares of the common
stock of Clark Holdings were granted at an exercise price of $9.90 per share
and options for the purchase of 152,500 shares of the common stock of Clark
Holdings were granted at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. As of December
31, 1999, 1,752,500 stock options for the purchase of the common stock of
Clark Holdings were outstanding at an exercise price of $9.90 per share and
152,500 stock options were outstanding at an exercise price of $15.00 per
share under the Incentive Plan. Stock granted under this plan was priced at
the fair market value at the date of grant as determined based on the latest
third party sales price available.

   For options granted in 1999, there are two vesting options, time vesting
and performance vesting, under the Incentive Plan. Under time vesting, options
are vested 50% at the date of option, 25% on each January 1 thereafter. Under
performance vesting, options are fully vested on and after the seventh
anniversary of the date of option; or following a public offering of the
common stock or upon a change in control, the vesting is accelerated based on
the achievement of certain per share prices of the common stock. The
accelerated vesting schedule was as follows:

      $15.00-$17.99               20%
      $18.00-$19.99               30%
      $20.00-$24.99               50%
      $25.00-$29.99               75%
      Above $29.99               100%
</TABLE>

The change in control price is defined as the highest price per share received
by any holder of the common stock from the purchaser(s) in a transaction or
series of transactions that result in a Change in Control. All options expire
no more than ten years after the date of its grant.

   In the event of a "Change of Control" of Clark Holdings, the Board with
respect to any award may take such actions (i) the acceleration of the award,
(ii) the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an award
and/or (iii) the requiring of the issuance of substitute awards that will
substantially preserve the value, rights, and benefits of any affected awards.

   Under SFAS 123 No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the
granting of the 1,905,000 options for shares of Clark Holdings would have
impacted operating income as of December 31, 1999, by less than $1.0 million.

   Under the Clark USA Long-Term Performance Plan, which was terminated in
1999, 323,750 stock options were outstanding as of December 31, 1998 (1997--
531,500) at an exercise price of $15 per share. No shares were granted under
this plan in 1998 or 1997.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

   Clark R&M is subject to various legal proceedings related to governmental
regulations and other actions arising out of the normal course of business,
including legal proceedings related to environmental matters. Among those
actions and proceedings are the following:

   Clark R&M is the subject of a purported class action lawsuit related to an
on-site electrical malfunction at Clark R&M's Blue Island Refinery on October
7, 1994, which resulted in the release to the atmosphere of used catalyst
containing low levels of heavy metals, including antimony, nickel and
vanadium. This release resulted in the temporary evacuation of certain areas
near the refinery, including a high school, and approximately fifty people
were taken to area hospitals. Clark R&M offered to reimburse the medical
expenses incurred by persons receiving treatment. The purported class action
lawsuit was filed on behalf of various named individuals and purported
plaintiff classes, including residents of Blue Island, Illinois and Eisenhower
High School students, alleging claims based on common law nuisance,
negligence, willful and wanton negligence and the Illinois Family Expense Act
as a result of this incident. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages in an
unspecified amount for alleged medical expenses, diminished property values,
pain and suffering and other damages. Plaintiffs also seek punitive damages in
an unspecified amount.

   As of December 31, 1999, the Company had accrued a total of $36.4 million
for legal and environmental-related obligations that may result from the
matter above and other legal and environmental matters and obligations
associated with certain previously owned retail sites. While it is not
possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with
respect to the Company's contingent liabilities, Clark R&M is of the opinion
that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not
been made, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position;
however, an adverse outcome of any one or more of these matters could have a
material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when
resolved in a future period.

   In December 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency
("USEPA") published the Tier II Motor Vehicle Emission Standards Final Rule
for all passenger vehicles, establishing standards for sulfur content in
gasoline. The ruling mandates that the sulfur content of gasoline produced at
any refinery not exceed 30 parts per million after January 1, 2006. Starting
in 2004, the USEPA will begin a program to phase in new low sulfur gasoline
requirements. Currently the sulfur content in the Company's gasoline pool
averages approximately 385 parts per million. These regulations will likely
require the Company to make some level of capital investments at its
refineries to reduce the sulfur levels in its gasoline. The Company is
evaluating its options under the new regulations and does not currently have
an estimate of how much of a capital outlay will be required for compliance.

   The USEPA has drafted a proposed regulation which, it is believed, would
require a significant reduction in the sulfur content of diesel fuel by the
year 2006. The proposed regulation has not yet been released to the public and
is currently under review of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
The USEPA anticipates that the regulation will be formally proposed later this
Spring and formally promulgated as a final rule before the end of the year
2000. Until the regulation is formally proposed and promulgated, and the exact
nature of the USEPA's proposal becomes known, the Company cannot assess the
impact, if any, of the regulation on our operations.

   During 1999 the Company sold crude oil linefill in the pipeline system
supplying the Lima refinery. The Company has an agreement in place that
requires it to repurchase approximately 2.8 million barrels of crude oil in
this pipeline system in September 2000 at market prices, unless extended by
mutual agreement.
