                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements as
         of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004
         and 2003 without an audit. In our opinion, all adjustments (which
         include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
         our financial position as of June 30, 2004, results of operations for
         the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and cash flows
         for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and 2003 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 our December 31,
         2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the
         period ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the
         operating results for the full year.

         Summary of Disputes - One outstanding complaint has been filed against
         usby Geneva Rock Products, Inc. The foregoing action was described in
         detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December
         31, 2003.

         Organization - Crown Energy Corporation ("CEC") and its wholly-owned
         subsidiary, Crown Asphalt Products Company ("CAPCO"), and Crown
         Distribution, an entity in which CAPCO and CEC now own all interests
         (collectively referred to as the "Company"), are engaged in the
         production, manufacturing, distribution and selling of asphalt
         products. Crown Distribution owns a majority interest in Cowboy Asphalt
         Terminal, L.L.C. ("CAT, LLC"). CAT, LLC is a joint venture formed on
         September 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.

         Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its long-lived
         assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
         that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company
         evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances
         have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an
         estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or
         group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether
         the assets are recoverable

         Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock options
         granted to employees under the recognition and measurement principles
         of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
         related Interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions
         of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
         "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation
         cost is recognized in the financial statements when options granted
         under those plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the
         market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The
         Company granted no options during the period ending June 30, 2004 and
         2003.

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [Continued]


         Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
         been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
         concern. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had a working capital
         deficit, an accumulated deficit and has had substantial recurring
         losses. The consolidated operations of the Company have not had
         sustained profitability and the Company has relied upon debt financing
         to satisfy its obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt
         about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The
         consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
         might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the
         attainment of profitable operations or obtaining necessary funding from
         outside sources to fund its cash flow requirements to purchase
         inventory. Management is attempting to secure financing for inventory
         purchases with inventory suppliers or other financing institutions.
         There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
         attempts to obtain financing for its inventory purchases. In addition,
         management is continuing its plans to reduce overhead and other costs.
         Management is also considering consolidation of manufacturing
         facilities to maximize operating efficiency and margins on product
         sales. However, there can be no assurance that management will be
         successful in these efforts. As disclosed in Note 6, on June 7, 2004,
         the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated asphalt
         distribution firm to organize a joint venture that will be owned 51% by
         the other firm and 49% by us. Substantially all of the Company's
         asphalt business, operations and assets will be transferred to the
         joint venture entity in consideration of a promissory note for $7.5
         million, the payment of which will be largely contingent upon the joint
         venture having earnings sufficient to permit such payment, assumption
         of approximately $2.3 million in liabilities, and a 49% interest in the
         joint venture entity. The promissory note will be secured by the sold
         assets and business. In addition, the other joint venture participant
         will provide the joint venture with an operating line of credit through
         the end of calendar year 2004, which may be extended in subsequent
         years at the election of our joint venture partner. In anticipation of
         completing this transaction the joint venture partner has advanced
         interim operating capital, secured by the Company's inventory, work in
         progress, finished goods and accounts receivable. We believe that the
         line of credit provided by the joint venture partner will be sufficient
         to sustain operations of the joint venture through 2004. The Company's
         continuance subsequent to the transaction will be largely dependent on
         the success of the joint venture as payment of the $7.5 million
         promissory note is contingent on earnings of the joint venture. If the
         joint venture is unable to make payments on the promissory note, the
         Company may not be able to continue in business. Formation of the joint
         venture is contingent on a number of factors, including approval by the
         Company's stockholders. The officers and directors have approved the
         foregoing transaction. The principal stockholders and their affiliates
         holding a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock have also
         approved the foregoing transactions. In addition, the holder of the
         Series A Preferred Stock has indicated that it intends to approve the
         transaction and to waive its right to require the Company to redeem the
         preferred stock at its stated value plus all accrued but unpaid
         dividends, or for approximately $6.6 million as of June 30, 2004.

NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT

         During 2004 we entered into extended payment arrangements with various
         vendors for $863,033 to extend amounts due into equal monthly
         installments over 3 years accruing interest at 4%.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

         Preferred Stock and Related Warrant- In 1997 we sold to an unrelated
         third party for $5.0 million in cash 500,000 shares of $10 Series A
         Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase at

         $0.002 per share an amount equal to 8% of the shares of common stock
         then outstanding and reserved for issuance, or approximately 925,771
         shares. In 2002, the Series A Preferred Stock, the warrant, and all
         associated rights were acquired by the Mealey Family Limited
         Partnership, which is the current holder of the Series A Preferred
         Stock, the warrant, all associated rights, and accrued dividends. Jay
         Mealey, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a director, owns
         48.5% of the Mealey Family Limited Partnership and is its general
         partner and his immediate family is its beneficiary.

         As of December 31, 2003, and June 30, 2004, there were dividends
         payable to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock of $1.4 million
         and $1.6 million, respectively. Future dividends of 8% per annum may,
         at the election of the holder, be taken in cash or common stock. At the
         market price of $0.01 per share as of June 30, 2004, 160.0 million
         shares of common stock would have to be issued to satisfy the dividend
         payable. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible to 4,285,000
         shares of common stock, if so elected by the holder of the Series A
         Preferred Stock. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock may also
         require the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock after the
         eighth anniversary of the Series A Preferred Stock's issuance. In
         addition, in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the
         Company's assets, or a merger or consolidation in which control of the
         Company is transferred, may, at the option of the Series A Preferred
         Stockholder, be treated as a liquidation, thus resulting in the
         repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock at its stated value and all
         outstanding related dividends.

         We currently have an authorized capital of 50.0 million shares of
         common stock, of which approximately 26.5 million shares are issued and
         outstanding and approximately 3.1 million shares are reserved for
         issuance on the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, for a
         total of approximately 29.6 million shares, excluding the shares
         issuable on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the payment in
         common stock of dividends that may accrue in the future thereon, and
         exercise of the warrant. Therefore, there are only approximately 20.4
         million shares available for issuance, and we could not satisfy all of
         our current obligations under the Series A Preferred Stock on
         conversion or the payment of dividends or on exercise of the warrant.
         We have not undertaken to renegotiate with the Mealey Family Limited
         Partnership any of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock or the
         warrant, do not know whether we will attempt to do so, and have not
         analyzed our obligations or responsibilities if the Mealey Family
         Limited Partnership would elect to convert the Series A Preferred
         Stock, demand payment of the dividends in common stock, or exercise the
         warrant.

         We had at June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003, incremental options and
         warrants to purchase, 3,372,919 shares and 3,988,919 shares of common
         stock, respectively, that were not included in the computation of
         diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended
         June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003, because their
         effect was anti-dilutive. We also had preferred stock outstanding at
         June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003, which is convertible into
         approximately 4,285,000 shares of common stock that was not included in
         the computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months
         ended June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as its
         effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share does not
         differ from basic loss. The diluted weighted average shares for the
         three months ended June 30, 2003, include the dilutive effect of the
         conversion of preferred stock dividends into approximately 58 million
         shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2004, there were preferred stock
         dividends payable in the amount of $1,600,000. Pursuant to the
         designations and preferences of the preferred stock, the holder of the
         preferred stock can elect to require us to pay dividends accruing in
         the future, by the issuance of common stock in lieu of cash payments at
         a price generally equivalent to the trading price for our common stock
         in the over-the-counter market, as detailed in the designations and
         preferences. The market price for our common stock was $0.01 per share
         as of July 31, 2004.

NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
         Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest
         Entities." FIN 46 addresses when a company should consolidate in its
         financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of a
         variable interest entity (VIE). It defines VIEs as entities that either
         do not have any equity investors with a controlling financial interest,
         or have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial
         resources for the entity to support its activities without additional
         subordinated financial support. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about
         VIEs that a company is not required to consolidate, but in which it has
         a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN
         46 applied immediately to variable interest entities created after
         January 31, 2003. The Company has not obtained an interest in a VIE
         subsequent to that date. A modification to FIN 46 (FIN 46 (R)) was
         released in December 2003. FIN 46 (R) delayed the effective date for
         VIEs created before February 1, 2003, with the exception of
         special-purpose entities, until the first fiscal year or interim period
         ending after March 15, 2004. FIN 46 (R) delayed the effective date for
         special-purpose entities until the first fiscal year or interim period
         after December 15, 2003. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of
         any SPEs at December 31, 2003. The Company adopted FIN 46 (R) for
         non-SPE entities as of March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 (R) did
         not have a material impact on results of operations or financial
         position.

         In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133
         on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends
         and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
         instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
         contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
         activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts
         entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions,
         and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The
         adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the results
         of operations or financial position.

         In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
         Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
         Equity." SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments,
         which under previous guidance may have been accounted for as equity,
         must now be accounted for as liabilities (or an asset in some
         circumstances). The financial instruments affected include mandatory
         redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may
         require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash
         or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares
         of stock.

         This Statement is effective for all such financial instruments entered
         into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
         beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
         SFAS 150 resulted in the reclassification of $5 million of Series A
         Preferred Stock from mezzanine capital to liabilities.

NOTE 6 -  PROPOSED AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF ASSET

         On June 7, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with an
         unrelated asphalt distribution firm to organize a joint venture that
         will be owned 51% by the other firm and 49% by us. Substantially all of
         the Company's asphalt business, operations and assets will be
         transferred to the joint venture entity in consideration of a
         promissory note for $7.5 million, the payment of which will be largely
         contingent upon the joint venture having earnings sufficient to permit
         such payment, assumption of approximately $2.3 million in liabilities,
         and a 49% interest in the joint venture entity. The promissory note
         will be secured by the sold assets and business. In addition, the other
         joint venture participant will provide the joint venture with an
         operating line of credit through the end of calendar year 2004, which
         may be extended in subsequent years at the election of our joint
         venture partner. In anticipation of completing this transaction the

         joint venture partner has advanced interim operating capital, secured
         by the Company's inventory, work in progress, finished goods and
         accounts receivable. Formation of the joint venture is contingent on a
         number of factors, including approval by the Company's stockholders.
         The officers and directors have approved the foregoing transaction. The
         principal stockholders and their affiliates holding a majority of the
         issued and outstanding common stock have also approved the foregoing
         transactions. In addition, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock
         has indicated that it intends to approve the transaction and to waive
         its right to require the Company to redeem the preferred stock at its
         stated value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, or for
         approximately $6.6 million as of June 30, 2004.

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


         The following discussion and analysis of our 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 that express, either directly or by implication, management's
beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding our future performance or future
events or trends that may affect us or our 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 our 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 risk of loss of certain operating assets serving as collateral
to secure financing, and other similar risks inherent in our operations or in
business operations generally. Any such risks or uncertainties, either alone or
in combination with other factors, may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from our 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 June 30, 2004, we had cash and other current assets of $4.59
million, as compared to cash and other current assets of $2.38 million at
December 31, 2003. The increase of approximately $2.21 million was generally due
to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory, which is offset, by a
corresponding increase in accounts payable.

         Our business requires a large amount of working capital to fund raw
material purchases and accounts receivable. During the colder quarters ending
December 31 and March 31, we require working capital to purchase raw materials
when prices are typically at their annual low and store these materials until
they are processed and sold during the warmer summer months when most paving
occurs. As discussed below, in recent years we have not had sufficient working
capital to take advantage of low raw material prices during the winter months
and have, therefore, been required to fill our raw material needs in the warmer
summer months when prices are typically higher. We typically generate a large
majority of our sales during the warmer summer months. For example, during the
preceding year we generated approximately 91% of our annual sales during the
quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2003. Therefore, during these periods
we require large amounts of working capital to fund accounts receivable and
general operations. We have not had third party working capital financing since
1999 and we have been unable to obtain adequate financing on acceptable terms.

         Our auditor's report on our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2003, as for prior years, contained an explanatory paragraph about
our ability to continue as a going concern. We have continued to suffer from
shortages of working capital needed to optimize operating economies and that has
threatened the survival of the Company. Given our financial condition,
generally, outside working capital funding requires personal guarantees, and our
officers and directors have been unwilling to provide such guarantees for our
benefit as a publicly-held company. As previously reported, our Board of
Directors approved the investigation of alternatives for a "going-private"
transaction. In order to ensure the survival of the Company and resolve its
working capital problems, the Board has approved the sale of all of its asphalt
manufacturing and distribution assets and related business. Formation of the
joint venture is contingent on a number of factors, including approval by the
Company's stockholders. The officers and directors have approved the foregoing
transaction. The principal stockholders and their affiliates holding a majority
of the issued and outstanding common stock have also approved the foregoing

                                       15

transactions. In addition, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock has
indicated that it intends to approve the transaction and to waive its right to
require the Company to redeem the preferred stock at its stated value plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends, or for approximately $6.6 million as of June 30,
2004.

         On June 7, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with an
unrelated asphalt distribution firm to organize a joint venture that will be
owned 51% by the other firm and 49% by us. Substantially all of the Company's
asphalt business, operations and assets will be transferred to the joint venture
entity in consideration of a promissory note for $7.5 million, the payment of
which will be largely contingent upon the joint venture having earnings
sufficient to permit such payment, assumption of liabilities, and a 49% interest
in the joint venture entity. The sold assets and business will secure the
promissory note. In addition, the other joint venture participant will provide
the joint venture with an operating line of credit through the end of calendar
year 2004, which may be extended in subsequent years at the election of our
joint venture partner. In anticipation of completing this transaction the joint
venture partner provided the Company with interim operating capital, secured by
the Company's inventory, work in progress, finished goods and accounts
receivable. Formation of the joint venture is contingent on a number of factors,
including approval by the Company's stockholders, a majority of which have
indicated that they intend to do so.

         A portion of our accounts receivable is subject to the risks and
uncertainties of litigation and related collection risks. In the event that we
are unable to collect our current accounts receivables, we are unable to secure
the necessary working capital line of credit for our operations, our operating
losses and working capital deficits continue, or if we are unable to recoup our
losses, we may not have sufficient capital to operate through 2004 and into
2005.

         As of June 30, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of approximately
$2.34 million, an accumulated deficit of $5.98 million, and total stockholders'
deficit of $1.9 million.

         The consolidated operations of the Company have not sustained
profitability and the Company has relied on debt financing to satisfy its
obligations. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to
the attainment of profitable operations or obtaining necessary funding from
outside sources to fund its cash flow requirements to purchase inventory.
Failure of the Company to complete the foregoing transaction will have a
significant negative effect and could result in the failure of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

         Inventory consists principally of refined products and chemical
supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost (computed on a first in, first
out basis) or market.

         Revenue recognition for sales of product is recognized when a contract
is executed or a valid purchase order has been received, product has been
shipped, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured.

         Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated
useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

         Plant and improvements and tankage                  10-30 years
         Equipment                                               7 years
         Vehicles                                                5 years
         Computer equipment, furniture and fixtures              3 years

<PAGE>

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

         The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company evaluates, periodically, whether events and
circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses
an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group
of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are
recoverable

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of receivables. In the normal
course of business, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers and maintains allowances for possible losses that, when realized, have
been within the range of management's expectations.

         The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times,
may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk
on cash and cash equivalents.

Results of Operations

   For the three month period ending June 30, 2004, compared to the three
   month period ending June 30, 2003

         Total revenue decreased from $6,241,935 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2003, to $3,275,274 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2004, a decrease of $2,966,661. Cost of sales decreased from $5,942,807 for the
same period in 2003 to $3,335,212 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of
$2,607,595. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of a decrease in
sales volume of approximately 15,770 tons offset partially by an increase in
revenue per ton of approximately $7.84. The decrease in tons is primarily due to
contracted business start dates occurring later in the early asphalt paving
season compared to the previous year. The decrease in cost of sales in the 2004
interim period is primarily the result of the reduced volume and reduced
facility operating costs predominately made up of salaries and wages.

         General and administrative expenses decreased from $402,589 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2003, to $354,216 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $48,373. This decrease is primarily due to a
reduction in salaries, wages and rent expense. During 2003 a recovery of a
receivable that was allowed for in a prior year for $323,524 was recorded as a
bad debt recovery.

         Net other income/expenses increased from an expense of $22,733 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2003, to an expense of $72,008 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2004, an increased expense of $49,275. This
increase is primarily due to a dividend received in 2003 in the amount of
$42,611.

         Minority interest of $9,902 represents Foreland's approximate 33%
interest in the loss of CAT, LLC.


    For the six month period ending June 30, 2004, compared to the six
    month period ending June 30, 2003

         Total revenue decreased from $6,356,642 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2003, to $3,451,424 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, a
decrease of $2,905,218. Cost of sales decreased from $6,716,257 for the same
period in 2003 to $3,914,805 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of
$2,801,452. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of a decrease in
sales volume of approximately 15,300 tons partially offset by an increase in
revenue per ton of approximately $9.40 per ton. The decrease in tons is
primarily due to contracted business start dates occurring later in the early
asphalt paving season compared to the previous year. The decrease

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

in cost of sales in the 2004 interim period is primarily the result of reduced
volume and reduced facility operating costs predominately made up of salaries,
wages and insurance.

         General and administrative expenses decreased from $738,911 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2003, to $636,762 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2004, a decrease of $102,149. This decrease is primarily due to a
reduction in salaries, wages, rent expense and supplies. During 2003 a recovery
of a receivable that was allowed for in a prior year for $323,524 was recorded
as a bad debt recovery.

         Net other income/expenses increased from an expense of $87,640 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2003, to an expense of $140,652 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $53,012. This increase is
the result of a dividend received in 2003 in the amount of $42,611.

         Minority interest of $20,472 represents Foreland's approximate 33%
interest in the loss of CAT, LLC.



                      ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
                          DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


         We do not engage in transactions involving market risk sensitive
instruments intended to reduce our exposure to interest rate risks, foreign
currency exchange rate risks, commodity price risks or similar risks, and
therefore we do not believe we are subject to material market risks resulting
from such market rate sensitive instruments. However, we are subject to general
market fluctuations related to the purchase of base stock asphalt and may suffer
reduced operating margins to the extent our increased costs cannot be passed
through to our customers. Such prices generally fluctuate with the price of
crude oil.

         We are also subject to certain price escalation and de-escalation
clauses in our asphalt distribution sales contracts. We supply 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. We factor such de-escalation risk into our bid
prices and do not believe we have material exposure to risk resulting from these
regulations.

         Memorandum of Understanding to Sell Asphalt Manufacturing and
Distribution Assets and Related Business

         On June 7, 2004 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with an unrelated asphalt company to form a new limited liability company to
purchase all of the Company's asphalt manufacturing and distribution assets and
related business. At closing of the transaction, the Company will own 49% of the
membership interest in the new limited liability company and the other asphalt
company will own the remaining membership interest. The new limited liability
company will purchase the assets and business for $7.5 million and will in
addition purchase the Company's current inventory. The purchase price will be
paid in the form of a six-year promissory accruing interest. The sold assets and
business will secure the promissory note. As part of the transaction, the other
member of the limited liability company will supply the working capital
financing to enable the new company to take advantage of off-season asphalt
purchase to fill the storage tank capacity.
