The Company's revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments: SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ Aviation Fueling $ 178,485,000 $ 136,398,000 Marine Fueling 160,922,000 139,936,000 Oil Recycling 11,636,000 8,284,000 ------------- ------------- Total Revenue $ 351,043,000 $ 284,618,000 ============= ============= The aviation fueling segment contributed $178,485,000 in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1996.

The increase in revenue was due to an increase in volume and the average price per gallon sold. The marine fueling segment contributed $160,922,000 in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $20,986,000, or 15.0%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was related primarily to increases in volume traded and the average price per metric ton, partially offset by a decrease in the volume brokered. The oil recycling segment contributed $11,636,000 in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $3,352,000, or 40,5%, as compared to the same period of the prior year.

The Company's marine fueling segment achieved a 4.6% gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to a 4.4% gross margin for the same period of the prior year.

The gross margin in the Company's oil recycling segment increased from 32.7% for the six months ended September 30, 1995, to 34.7% for the six months ended September 30, 1996.

The increase resulted primarily from a higher provision for bad debts in the aviation fueling segment, which increased $1,547,000 over the corresponding period during the prior year, as well as higher salaries related to performance based employment contracts, higher legal and professional fees, and the expenses associated with the newly established Costa Rican operations.

During the balance of fiscal year 1997, the Company anticipates spending approximately $500,000 to upgrade plant, machinery and equipment. The Company also anticipates spending an estimated $1,000,000 over the next several years to clean up contamination which was present at one of the Page 15 of 18 company's sites when it was acquired by the Company.
