              Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Below is a reconciliation of net income before cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle (GAAP) to net income before cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle and operating lease
settlement charge (non-GAAP) related to a former UPR-owned refinery in
Corpus Christi, Texas, as required under Regulation G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company uses net income before
change in accounting principle excluding the operating lease
settlement charge, included in other (income) expense, to evaluate the
company's results from current operations. The operating lease
settlement charge net of income taxes is excluded due to the lack of
comparability between periods.

Below is a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities
(GAAP) to cash flow from operations before changes in assets and
liabilities (non-GAAP) as required under Regulation G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company uses cash flow from
operations before changes in assets and liabilities to demonstrate the
company's ability to internally fund capital expenditures and to
service or incur additional debt. It is useful in comparisons of oil
and gas exploration and production companies because it excludes
fluctuations in assets and liabilities.
