NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. COMPANY ORGANIZATION:

Inland Resources Inc. (the "Company") is an independent energy company with substantially all of its producing oil and gas property interests located in the Monument Butte Field within the Uinta Basin of Northeastern Utah (the "Field"). The Company also operated a crude oil refinery located in Woods Cross, Utah (the "Woods Cross Refinery") until it was sold on January 31, 2000. The refinery had a processing capacity of approximately 10,000 barrels per day and tankage capacity of 485,000 barrels.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The preceding financial information has been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of each period shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Management believes the disclosures made are adequate to ensure that the financial information is not misleading, and suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

3. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") was issued, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activity. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 was deferred to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging activities -Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 133 requires recognition of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measurement of fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Gains and losses on derivative hedging instruments must be recorded in either other comprehensive income or current earnings, depending on the nature and designation of the instrument. The Company is currently assessing the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 and plans to adopt the statement on January 1, 2001.

FIN No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" was issued in April 2000. As a result, the Company will be required to account for certain stock options as variable option grants, based on the market price on July 1, 2000. These options will be marked-to-market with gains and losses recorded in income for each reporting period subsequent to July 1, 2000, but only to the extent there are increases in the Company's stock price above the market price of the stock on July 1, 2000.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

Pursuant to a decision by the Company's board of directors on December 10, 1999 to dispose of the Company's refinery operations, 100% of the stock in Inland Refining, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, was sold on January 31, 2000 to Silver Eagle Refining, Inc. ("Silver Eagle"). This subsidiary owned the Woods Cross Refinery and a nonoperating refinery located in Roosevelt, Utah. The Woods Cross Refinery was originally purchased on December 31, 1997 for $22.9 million and the Roosevelt refinery was originally purchased on September 16, 1998 for $2.25 million. The sales price was $500,000 together with the assumption by Silver Eagle of refinery assets, liabilities and obligations including all environmental related liabilities. Prior to the sale, the Company transferred the existing inventory, cash, accounts receivable and a note receivable to another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary also agreed to satisfy various accounts payable and accrued liabilities not assumed by Silver Eagle. The assets and liabilities retained will be disposed of within one year of December 10, 1999.

Due to this sale, the Company is no longer involved in the refining of crude oil or the sale of refined products. As a result, all refining operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. To account for the sale, the Company recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations of $14.5 million at December 31, 1999. In addition, certain prior year amounts were reclassified as discontinued operations, with no net effect on net loss or accumulated deficit as previously reported. Revenue from discontinued operations was $0 and $32.6 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999; and $0 and $18.0 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net current assets of discontinued operations of $473,000 at June 30, 2000 consist primarily of accounts receivable and a note receivable.

5. LETTER OF INTENT WITH FLYING J INC.:

On May 25, 2000, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Flying J Inc. ("Flying J") regarding the acquisition of certain assets by the Company from Flying J. The acquisition includes a 25,000 barrel per day refinery located in North Salt Lake, nine Flying J gasoline stations located primarily in the Salt Lake City area and Idaho and all oil and gas reserves owned by Flying J in the Uinta Basin, fifteen miles north of the Field. The purchase price is $50.0 million in cash and the assumption of $5.8 million in debt, plus the issuance of approximately 8.9 million shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is equal to approximately 75.5% of the shares outstanding after the acquisition. The transaction would be accounted for as a reverse merger. A restructuring of the Company's capital and debt structure may be required to effectuate the acquisition. Management anticipates that if the transaction is consummated, it will close during the third quarter of 2000. The acquisition is contingent on preparation of definitive documents, financing, due diligence procedures, receipt of an acceptable fairness opinion and approval by regulatory agencies, the Company's lenders and the Board of Directors of each company. The failure of any one of these events could prevent the consummation of the acquisition.
