                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
         by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
         to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
         changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows at September 30, 2001
         and for all periods presented have been made.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
         that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
         December 31, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations
         for the period ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative
         of the operating results for the full year.

         Summary of Disputes - The Company and its joint venture partner in
         Crown Asphalt Distribution, L.L.C. ("Crown Distribution") and Crown
         Asphalt Ridge, L.L.C. ("Crown Ridge"), MCNIC Pipeline and Processing
         Company ("MCNIC"), were involved in a dispute relating to Crown
         Distribution where claims were made by each party against the other.
         These disputes are discussed in detail in the Company's December 31,
         2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Binding arbitration of these disputes
         began on July 23, 2001 before Judge John G. Davies (ret.) in Salt Lake
         City, Utah. On November 5, 2001, the Company received the decision of
         the arbitrator in which he ruled that (i) no damages were awarded to
         the Company for its claims against MCNIC; (ii) the loans made by MCNIC
         to Crown Distribution are due and payable along with accrued interest;
         and (iii) Crown Distribution is to pay MCNIC's legal fees and costs
         associated with the collection of that portion of the loans that were
         covered by the Promissory Note from MCNIC to Crown Distribution made as
         part of the purchase of the asphalt assets of Petro Source Asphalt
         Company in 1998 (the "Petro Source Acquisition"). Interested persons
         should note the significant and material adverse impacts the Company
         could experience in the event MCNIC elects to foreclose on the Crown
         Distribution assets securing the loans.

         Organization - Crown Energy Corporation ("CEC") and its wholly-owned
         subsidiaries, Crown Asphalt Corporation ("CAC") and Crown Asphalt
         Products Company ("Capco") and Crown Distribution, an entity in which
         Capco owns a majority interest (collectively referred to as the
         "Company"), are engaged in the mining, production, manufacturing,
         distribution and selling of asphalt products.

         Majority Owned Subsidiaries - Capco is the majority-owner of Crown
         Distribution, Crown Distribution is a joint venture limited liability
         company formed on July 2, 1998 between Capco and MCNIC for the purpose
         of acquiring certain assets of Petro Source Asphalt Company ("Petro
         Source"). Capco owns 50.01% and MCNIC owns 49.99% of Crown
         Distribution. Capco is the general manager and operating agent of Crown
         Distribution. Crown Distribution owns a majority interest in Cowboy
         Asphalt Terminal, L.L.C. ("CAT, L.L.C."). CAT LLC is a joint venture
         formed on June 16, 1998 between Capco and Foreland Asphalt Corporation
         ("Foreland"), which owns an asphalt terminal and storage facility.
         Crown Distribution owns 66.67% and Foreland owns 33.33% of CAT LLC.

         Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or majority-owned
         subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been
         eliminated in consolidation.

                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


NOTE 2 - WORKING CAPITAL CREDIT FACILITY

         As described in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company maintains that MCNIC,
         pursuant to its rights granted under the Crown Distribution Operating
         Agreement, elected to extend a credit facility for working capital
         purposes (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility, along with a
         working capital loan (the "Working Capital Loan"), provided by MCNIC in
         conjunction with the Petro Source Acquisition have a balance of
         approximately $14,935,222 plus accrued interest of $4,414,942 through
         the period ended September 30, 2001. The decision rendered in final
         arbitration concluded that all of the foregoing principal amounts,
         together with accrued interest are now due and payable. The Credit
         Facility and the Working Capital Loan are secured by the majority of
         Crown Distribution's assets. As noted elsewhere, significant and
         materially adverse impacts on the Company would result from MCNIC's
         foreclosure on Crown Distribution's assets.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

         Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000
         preferred shares, par value $.005 per share. The Company issued and has
         outstanding 500,000 shares of its Series A Cumulative Convertible
         Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred"). Each share of Series A
         Preferred is convertible at the option of its holder, at any time, into
         8.57 shares of common stock of the Company. Dividends accrue on the
         outstanding Series A Preferred at the rate of 8% per annum and may be
         paid through cash or common shares of the Company at the option of the
         holder. Subject to the holder's right to convert the Series A
         Preferred, the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred at any time
         from the date on which it is issued at a percentage of the Series A
         Preferred's stated value of $10 per share, 130% of stated value if
         redemption occurs within thirty-six months of the date of issuance;
         115% of stated value if redemption occurs between thirty-six and
         forty-eight months after the date of issuance; 110% of stated value if
         redemption occurs between forty-eight and sixty months after the date
         of issuance; and 100% if redemption occurs thereafter. The holder of
         the Series A Preferred may also require the Company to redeem the
         Series A Preferred after the eighth anniversary of the Series A
         Preferred's issuance. The holders of the Series A Preferred shall have
         the right, but shall not be obligated, to appoint 20% of the Company's
         Board of Directors. The Company may not alter the rights and
         preferences of the Series A Preferred, authorize any security having
         liquidation preference, redemption, voting or dividend rights senior to
         the Series A Preferred, increase the number of Series A Preferred,
         reclassify its securities or enter into specified extraordinary events
         without obtaining written consent or an affirmative vote of at least
         75% of the holders of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred
         stock. All voting rights of the Series A Preferred expire upon the
         issuance by the Company of its notice to redeem such shares. The shares
         of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred are
         subject to adjustment upon the issuance of additional shares of the
         Company's common stock resulting from stock splits, share dividends,
         and other similar events as well as upon the issuance of additional
         shares or options which are issued in connection with the Company's
         equity investment or as compensation to any employee, director,
         consultant, or other service provider of the Company or any subsidiary,
         other than options to acquire up to 5% of the Company's common stock at
         or less than fair market value.

         Common Stock Warrant - In conjunction with the issuance of the
         preferred stock described above, the Company issued a warrant to the
         holders of the preferred stock. The fair value of the warrant at the
         date of issuance was estimated to be $283,019 and was recorded to
         additional paid-in capital and as a reduction to the stated value of
         the preferred stock. The reduction in preferred stock is being accreted
         over the five-year period from the date of issuance to the earliest
         exercise date of the warrant. Upon the fifth anniversary of the
         issuance of the preferred stock, the warrant becomes exercisable, at
         $.002 per share, into the number of common shares of the Company equal
         to (a) [$5,000,000 plus the product of (i) $5,000,000 multiplied by
         (ii) 39% (internal rate of

         (i) all dividends and other distributions paid by the Company on the
         preferred stock or on the common stock received upon conversion of the
         preferred stock plus (ii) the greater of the proceeds from the sale of
         any common stock received by the holder upon the conversion of the
         preferred stock prior to the fifth anniversary date or the Terminal
         Value (as defined) of such common stock sold before the fifth
         anniversary plus (iii) the terminal value of the preferred stock and
         common stock received upon conversion of the preferred stock then held,
         divided by (c) the fair market value of the Company's common stock on a
         weighted average basis for the 90 days immediately preceding the fifth
         anniversary date of the issuance of the preferred stock. Terminal Value
         is defined as the sum of (i) the shares of common stock into which the
         preferred stock then held is convertible, plus (ii) shares of common
         stock received upon conversion of preferred stock, multiplied by the
         fair market value of the Company's common stock on a weighted average
         basis for the 90 days immediately preceding the fifth anniversary date
         of the issuance of the preferred stock. The warrants will expire in
         2007.

         The Company had at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000,
         incremental options and warrants to purchase, computed under the
         treasury stock method, 3,463,148 and 3,277,148 respectively, shares of
         common stock that were not included in the computation of diluted
         earnings (loss) per share because their effect was anti-dilative. The
         Company also has preferred stock outstanding at September 30, 2001 and
         September 30, 2000 which is convertible into approximately 4,300,000
         shares of common stock that was not included in the computation of
         diluted earnings per share as its effect was anti-dilative.
         Accordingly, diluted earnings per share does not differ from basic
         earnings.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and related matters includes a number of
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.
Forward-looking statements include, by way of illustration and not limitation,
statements containing the words "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends",
"future" and words of similar import which express, either directly or by
implication, management's beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding the
Company's future performance or future events or trends which may affect the
Company or its results of operations.

         Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to changes in
economic conditions generally or with respect to the Company's asphalt products
market in particular, new or increased governmental regulation, increased
competition, shortages in labor or materials, delays or other difficulties in
shipping or transporting the Company's products, continued or additional
technical or operational uncertainties and difficulties at the facility of Crown
Asphalt Ridge, L.L.C. ("Crown Ridge"), a determination of what the recently
received adverse arbitration decision will mean for the Company and Crown
Distribution, difficulties in integrating the Company's recent joint venture and
acquisition related businesses and other similar risks inherent in the Company's
operations or in business operations generally. Any such risks or uncertainties,
either alone or in combination with other factors, may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from its
anticipated future results, performance or achievements (which may be expressed
or implied by such forward looking statements). Consequently, the following
management's discussion and analysis, including all forward-looking statements
contained therein, is qualified and limited by the foregoing cautionary factors.
Interested persons are advised to consider all forward-looking statements within
the context of such cautionary factors.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At September 30, 2001, the Company had cash and other current assets of
$11,283,569 as compared to cash and other current assets of $6,761,595 at
December 31, 2000. The increase of $4,521,974 was primarily due to the increase
in accounts receivable attributable to asphalt sales in the second and third
quarter of 2001. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Capco, is the majority
owner of Crown Asphalt Distribution, L.L.C. ("Crown Distribution") and also
conducts asphalt distribution independent of Crown Distribution. Together Capco
and Crown Distribution accounted for most of the Company's cash and other
current assets. As of September 30, 2001, Capco and Crown Distribution had cash
and other current assets of approximately $11,098,803 million, consisting
primarily of roughly $232,009 of cash, $2,338,742 million in inventory and
$8,411,068 million in accounts receivable, excluding related party balances.
Capco's and Crown Distribution's businesses are capital intensive and require
working capital or some type of a working capital credit facility. MCNIC
Pipeline & Processing Company ("MCNIC"), the minority joint venture partner of
Crown Distribution, elected to provide the Credit Facility in addition to the
Working Capital Loan. As of September 30, 2001, the Company asserts that these
loans had an outstanding principal balance of $14,935,222 and accrued interest
of $4,414,942.

         On November 5, 2001, the Company received a decision of the arbitrator
in the dispute between the Company and MCNIC where it was ruled that the loans
made by MCNIC to Crown Distribution are currently due and payable along with
accrued interest. The Company may have to seek replacement financing on terms
and conditions, which are less favorable than it might obtain under other
circumstances. It is conceivable that MCNIC might obtain possession and legal
control over the operating assets of Crown Distribution. Interested persons
should note the significant and material risks facing the Company as a result of
this development. The Company and Crown Distribution are actively evaluating
appropriate courses of action which may be taken in response to this material
development.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


         Interested persons should also note that, subject of course to
available equitable and other creditor remedies, neither the Working Capital
Loan or the Credit Facility contain cross-default provisions giving MCNIC any
right to declare a default or to seek control or possession over the assets or
operations of Crown Ridge or the Company's interest in Crown Ridge, or other
assets of the Company.

         Crown Distribution also owed MCNIC an additional $5,325,723 at
September 30, 2001 with respect to the preferential capital contribution (the
"Preferred Contribution") that funded Crown Distribution's acquisition of the
assets of Petro Source Asphalt Company on July 2, 1998. The Preferred
Contribution accrues a 15% annual rate of return and is payable solely from 50%
of the cash flow, if any, from Crown Distribution's operations.

         The asphalt distribution business is seasonal in nature and
necessitates working capital financing for inventory purchases, receivables and
operations. It is capital intensive and requires substantial investments to
acquire terminal storage, blending, and raw material assets. MCNIC has advised
the Company it will no longer provide funding under the Credit Facility and has
refused to jointly and severally guaranty working capital financing from a third
party on behalf of Crown Distribution, as the Company believes MCNIC has also
previously agreed. The Company relies on working capital financing to purchase
inventory and fund other working capital requirements for operations. The
Company is seeking other ways to finance its working capital requirements, but
there is no assurance that such working capital financing can be secured by the
Company.

         In the event that the Company is unable to collect its current accounts
receivables, or the Company is unable to secure the necessary working capital
financing for its operations from third party sources or if the Company's
operating losses and working capital deficits continue, or if the Company is
unable to recoup the losses, the Company may not have sufficient capital to
continue to operate its business. Thus, the risk exists that the Company may not
be able to continue as a going concern.

         The Company remains open to other asphalt related business
opportunities to complement its existing asphalt distribution capabilities.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company can obtain the additional
capital financing required for such transactions on acceptable terms and
conditions.

         As has been previously disclosed by the Company in its periodic
filings, the tar sands processing facility owned by Crown Ridge has not
commenced commercial operations due to mechanical and process difficulties
experienced during start-up of the facilities. A pilot study to develop a
solution to these problems was conducted during fiscal year 2000. The
ramifications of the pilot study for the Company are uncertain in that the cost
of the modifications which need to be made to the Crown Ridge facility and its
commercial viability have not been determined.

         Due to the inherent risks of arbitration involved in the Company's
disputes with MCNIC and the lack of a firm business plan for Asphalt Ridge from
MCNIC, the Company determined that its investment in, and advances to, Crown
Ridge are potentially impaired. Should delays continue, or should the Crown
Ridge facility be unable to ever operate economically, the Company believes that
this would significantly impact Crown Ridge's ability to continue as a going
concern and would adversely impact the Company's operations and financial
conditions resulting in an impairment of the remainder of the asset. Further,
although the pilot study may demonstrate that the mechanical process
difficulties experienced by the Crown Ridge facility can be resolved, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to make the proportionate capital
contribution which would be necessary to finance its approximate 24% of the
costs involved. Accordingly, it is possible that the Company's sharing ratio in
Crown Ridge may be further diluted should it agree to proceed with further
expenditures.

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


         Results of Operations

         For the three month period ending September 30, 2001 compared to the
         three month period ending September 30, 2000

         Total revenue increased from $11,556,473 for the three month period
ended September 30, 2000 to $15,539,700 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $3,983,227. Cost of sales increased from
$11,400,727 for the same period in 2000 to $12,757,549 for the same period in
2001, a increase of $1,356,822. The increase in revenues is primarily due to an
increase in asphalt sales volume of approximately 38% in the third quarter of
2001. The increase in cost of sales is primarily the result of increased volume,
offset partially by reduced base asphalt purchase costs of approximately 16% and
operating efficiencies at the distribution facilities.

         General and administrative expenses increased from $649,608 for the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 to $926,719 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $277,111. This increase is
primarily due to increased legal expenses.

         Other income/expenses increased from $557,316 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2000 to $1,812,657 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $1,255,341. The 2001 total is comprised of
$502,514 interest related to the Company's Credit Facility, Working Capital Loan
and Preferred Contribution for its asphalt distribution business, $1,164,574 of
interest related to the arbitration judgment, and other interest costs of
$150,446. This amount is partially offset by interest income and other income of
$4,877.

         Minority interest of $2,930 represents Foreland's approximate 33%
interest in the loss of CAT, LLC.

         For the nine month period ending September 30, 2001 compared to the
         nine month period ending September 30, 2000

         Total revenue increased from $19,745,578 for the period ended September
30, 2000 to $23,185,290 for the period ended September 30, 2001, a increase of
$3,439,712. Cost of sales also increased from $20,101,720 for the period ended
September 30, 2000 to $20,331,211 for the period ended September 30, 2001, a
increase of $229,491. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase
in asphalt sales volume of approximately 18%. The increase in cost of sales is
primarily the result of increased volume, offset partially by lower asphalt
purchase prices of approximately 13% and operating efficiencies at the
distribution facilities.

         General and administrative expenses increased from $1,743,465 for the
period ended September 30, 2000 to $2,518,780 for the period ended September 30,
2001, an increase of $775,315. This increase is primarily due to two factors:
(i) the prior year's amount was reduced by $320,000, which represented a
receivable collection that had previously been written off as a bad debt, and
(ii) increased legal expenses.

         Other income/expenses increased from $1,985,435 for the period ended
September 30, 2000 to $2,749,283 for the period ended September 30, 2001, an
increase of $763,848. The 2001 total was comprised of $1,491,160 interest
related to the Company's Credit Facility, Working Capital Loan and Preferred
Contribution for its asphalt distribution business, $1,164,574 interest related
to the Arbitration Decision, and other interest costs of $439,836. This amount
is partially offset by an insurance settlement gain of $278,492 and interest
income and other income of $67,795.

         Minority interest of $14,132 represents Foreland's approximate 33%
interest in the loss of CAT, LLC.

                      ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
                          DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


         The Company does not believe it is subject to the material risks of
loss related to certain market risks, such as interest rate risks, foreign
currency exchange rate risks or similar risks, and therefore the Company does
not engage in transactions, such as hedging or similar transactions in
derivative financial instruments, intended to reduce its exposure to such risks.
However, the Company is subject to general market fluctuations related to the
purchase of its basestock asphalt and may suffer reduced operating margins to
the extent its increased costs are not passed through to its customers. Such
prices generally fluctuate with the price of crude oil. The Company is prevented
in certain contracts with MCNIC from utilizing any hedging strategies to
minimize any market price changes. The Company believes the inability to protect
itself from market fluctuations may negatively impact its profit margins.

         The Company is also subject to certain price escalation and
de-escalation clauses in its asphalt distribution sales contracts. The Company
supplies asphalt to projects in certain states where regulations provide for
escalation and de-escalation of the price for such asphalt relative to the price
difference from the time the project is awarded to the successful bidding
company and the time the project is completed. The Company includes such
de-escalation risk into its bid process and does not believe it has material
exposure to risk resulting from these regulations.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

         As discussed within the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in an extensive dispute
with MCNIC, MCN and related parties. On November 5, 2001, the Company received a
decision in the arbitration between the Company and MCNIC that was issued by the
Honorable John G. Davies, U.S. District Judge (ret.) (the "Decision"). The
Decision held that loans from MCNIC to Crown Distribution totaling $14,935,221
were now due and payable, with interest accruing on such loans from 8% to 18%,
depending upon the particular loan involved. The Company had not disputed the
existence of the loans, but had argued that they were part of a working capital
facility extended by MCNIC which was not due and payable at this time. The
foregoing loans are secured by a majority of the real and personal property of
Crown Distribution. The Decision also failed to find for the Company on its
claims against MCN and MCNIC on a number of causes of action. Crown Distribution
was also ordered to pay MCN and MCNIC attorneys fees and costs associated with
the collection of that portion of the loans that were covered by the Promissory
Note from MCNIC to Crown Distribution made as part of the Petro Source
Acquisition. The amount of such costs is unknown at the present time. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of the decision on Crown
Distribution's business and evaluating appropriate courses of action.

         On July 14, 1999, Crown Distribution and Capco filed an action in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, Southern
Division, against Santa Maria Refining Company ("SMRC"), SABA Petroleum Company
("SABA") and Greka Energy Corporation ("Greka"). The claims include causes of
action for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, conversion, fraud, claim and delivery, unjust enrichment and
constructive trust, unfair competition, declaratory relief and specific
performance. These claims arise out of the alleged termination of the Processing
Agreement and subsequent refusal to deliver asphalt to Crown Distribution by
SMRC, SABA, and Greka. A final settlement was reached effective October 23, 2001
in the litigation between the Company and SMRC, SABA and Greka. The Settlement
Agreement between the parties requires that the terms of the settlement not be
disclosed, but the Company believes the matter was amicably resolved on terms
believed to be mutually beneficial to all of the parties.

         On January 25, 2000, Oriental New Investments, Ltd. ("Oriental") filed
a Complaint against the Company in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake
County, Utah. The action relates to a 1997 convertible debenture and replacement
convertible debenture issued by the Company to Oriental. The action seeks to
recover from the Company $50,000 liquidated damages, plus interest, and
attorneys fees and costs, for alleged breaches of certain terms of the
convertible debentures. The Company answered the Complaint on March 1, 2000,
denying any and all liability, and believes that Oriental's claims are
meritless. On August 17, 2001 the Complaint was dismissed.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities

         None.

ITEM 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

         The Decision in the arbitration of the dispute between the Company and
MCNIC received on November 5, 2001 held that loans from MCNIC to Crown
Distribution were due and payable, along with accrued interest, and are in
default. As of September 30, 2001, the Company asserts that these loans had an
outstanding principal balance of $14,935,222 and accrued interest of $4,414,942.

October 23, 2001 a final settlement had been reached in the litigation between
the Company and Santa Maria Refining Company, Saba Petroleum Company and Greka
Energy Corporation.

         The company also filed a Form 8-K on November 6, 2001 to report that a
decision had been reached in the arbitration between the Company and MCNIC.
