NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited
and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except
for items discussed in Note 3. Such financial statements are presented
in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's disclosure
requirements for Form 10-Q.
Union Oil Company of California ("Union Oil" or "the company") is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Unocal Corporation ("Unocal" or "the
Parent").
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the Commission in Union
Oil's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, are not
necessarily indicative of future financial results.
(2) Contingent Liabilities:
The company has received Notices of Proposed Adjustments from the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to a 1985 takeover attempt and
the efforts undertaken to defeat it. These proposed IRS adjustments
would increase the company's 1985 taxable income by up to $607 million,
of which $201 million would result in decreases to taxable income in
subsequent years.
The company believes that it has substantial legal defenses to the IRS
proposed adjustments. Upon receipt of the Notice of Proposed
Deficiency for 1985 (expected October 1, 1994), the company will
protest the proposed adjustments to the Appeals section of the IRS.
In the opinion of management, a successful outcome in these disputes is
reasonably likely. Although considered unlikely, substantial adverse
decisions could have a material effect on the company's operating
results and financial condition in a given year when such matters are
resolved.
(3) 1993 Accounting Changes:
(a) Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This
accounting standard requires the company to recognize its
obligation to provide postretirement health care benefits and to
accrue such costs rather than recording them on a cash basis. The
actuarial present value of the accumulated postretirement health
care obligation existing at January 1, 1993 was recognized in the
Consolidated Earnings Statement as the cumulative effect of an
accounting change, resulting in a charge to the first quarter 1993
earnings of $192 million before tax ($121 million after tax).
(b) The company also adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1993. This
statement requires the company to recognize its obligation to
provide benefits, such as workers' compensation and disabled
employees' medical care, to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement. The charge to earnings for the
cumulative effect of the company's unfunded obligation prior to
1993, was $14 million before tax ($9 million after tax).
(4) Capitalized interest totaled $9 million for the second quarter 1994 and
$18 million for the first six months of 1994. For the same periods of
1993, $10 million and $17 million of interest were capitalized,
respectively.

<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
(5) Between March 24 and April 27, 1994, the company issued $179 million in
Medium Term Notes with interest rates ranging from 6.33% to 7.24% and
maturity dates ranging from February 1997 to March 2001. The proceeds
were used to refinance maturing and callable debt.
In August 1994, the company and Unocal filed a new shelf registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for
offering and sale, from time to time, up to $1 billion of debt
securities of the company, to be guaranteed as to payment by Unocal,
equity securities of Unocal and warrants to purchase such securities.
(6) Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1994 classification.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Union Oil's net earnings for the second quarter of 1994 were $50 million,
compared with $88 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the first six
months of 1994, net earnings were $104 million. This compares with six-
month 1993 earnings of $99 million. The comparability of the company's
reported earnings for these periods is affected by the following special
items:

</TABLE>
Excluding the special items, second quarter 1994 net earnings were $65
million, compared with $88 million, in the second quarter of 1993. The 1994
year-to-date earnings, excluding special items, were $127 million, compared
with $186 million, a year ago. Both the quarter and year-to-date results
reflected the steep decline in crude oil prices from a year ago, which were
partially offset by higher worldwide crude oil and natural gas production.
The 1994 year-to-date consolidated revenues were $3.96 billion, down from
$4.42 billion in the same period a year ago. Total costs and other
deductions for the six months were $3.76 billion, compared to $4.01 billion
for 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in both revenues and costs
reflects the sale of several businesses during 1993 and the continued phase-
out of Southeastern retail gasoline marketing operations.
PETROLEUM EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION. Earnings for the second quarter 1994
totaled $79 million, compared with $113 million in 1993. For the six-month
period, earnings were $150 million in 1994, compared with $255 million in
1993. Both the 1994 quarter and six-month periods included special items
related to asset sales and charges for the Guadalupe oil field, while the
1993 periods included net gains from asset sales. Excluding these special
items, petroleum exploration and production second quarter earnings were
$92 million and $122 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, and the six-
month 1994 earnings were $179 million, compared with $242 million during
the same period a year ago.
The charges for the Guadalupe oil field, located on the central coast of
California, included a provision for the write-down of investment,
abandonment and remediation of the field. The provision covers the
remediation and cleanup efforts currently underway from leaks of a diesel-
like additive, called diluent, that was formerly used to help produce the
heavy crude oil.
The decline in operating earnings was principally due to lower worldwide
crude oil prices. The average sales price for worldwide crude oil in the
second quarter of 1994 was $13.92 per barrel, down from $15.93 per barrel a
year ago. For the six-month period, the 1994 average sales price was
$12.64 versus $15.41 in 1993.
-7-
<PAGE>
The results also reflect the earnings benefit of an increase in the
company's worldwide production of crude oil and natural gas. Although
domestic crude oil production continued to decline mainly due to the asset
divestment program, the decrease was more than offset by increased foreign
production from Indonesia and the Netherlands. Domestic natural gas
production was up 22 percent from a year ago due to the accelerated
development program initiated in 1993. The decrease in foreign gas
production was primarily due to reduced pipeline allocation in Thailand.
REFINING, MARKETING AND TRANSPORTATION. Union Oil's refining, marketing
and transportation segment recorded earnings of $38 million in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $46 million a year ago. Earnings for the
first six months were $79 million, compared with $94 million in 1993.
Excluding the special items, primarily asset sales, the operating earnings
were $37 million and $32 million in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively, and the six-month earnings were $78 million in 1994, compared
with $80 million in 1993.
The results for both the six months and second quarter reflected lower
average sales prices for refined products, which were partially offset by
lower raw material costs. Petroleum product sales volumes were 308,000
barrels per day in 1994, down from 355,000 barrels per day in 1993. The
decline was mainly due to the sale of the auto/truckstop system in 1993 and
the continued phase-out of Southeastern retail gasoline marketing.
However, the company's West Coast U.S. petroleum product six-month sales
volumes increased 9 percent in 1994, compared to the same period a year
ago.
The company's equity in earnings from The UNO-VEN Company, a refining and
marketing partnership in the Midwest, is expected to be lower in the third
quarter due to a regularly scheduled maintenance shut-down at its Chicago
Refinery. The work is scheduled to begin in mid-July 1994, with full
production being resumed in early September.
CHEMICALS. Chemicals operations recorded earnings of $13 million for the
second quarter and $22 million for the first six months of 1994. This
compares with $16 million and $28 million for the same periods in 1993,
respectively. The quarter and year-to-date results reflected lower
earnings from the sale of petroleum coke.
GEOTHERMAL. Earnings for the second quarter of 1994 were $9 million, up
from $6 million in 1993. Six-month earnings were $14 million in 1994,
compared with $38 million in 1993. However, the six-month 1993 earnings
included a $26 million after-tax gain in the first quarter from the sale of
the geothermal Imperial Valley (California) assets and other exploration
properties.
CORPORATE AND OTHER. Second quarter 1994 corporate expenses and the
results of other businesses were $89 million, compared with $93 million for
the same period in 1993. For the six-month period, expenses were $161
million in 1994 and $186 million in 1993. Adjusted for special items, net
expense for corporate and other for the second quarter was $86 million in
1994, versus $88 million for the same period a year ago. Six month expenses
were $166 million and $177 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
decreases reflected lower net interest expense.
The 1994 six-month special items included a $24 million benefit from the
settlement of a lawsuit against Mesa Petroleum, resulting from the takeover
attempt in 1985. Additional special items included in the results for each
reporting period are unusual litigation expenses and asset sales.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
For the six months of 1994, cash flows from operating activities, including
working capital changes, were $528 million, up from $493 million in 1993.
The increase reflects higher gas revenues and the Mesa lawsuit settlement,
which were largely offset by lower crude oil prices.
Proceeds from asset sales were $55 million for the first six months of
1994, compared to $546 million in the same period a year ago. The 1994
proceeds were mainly from the sale of nonstrategic oil and gas properties,
while 1993 included $224 million from the sale of the company's Imperial
Valley (California) geothermal assets and other geothermal exploration
properties, $177 million from the sale of the national auto/truckstop
network and the balance from the sale of miscellaneous nonstrategic assets,
including oil and gas properties.
-8-
<PAGE>
Capital expenditures for the six-months 1994 totaled $518 million, compared
with $489 million a year ago. The increase primarily reflects refinery
construction to prepare for manufacturing reformulated gasoline.
Consolidated working capital at June 30, 1994 was $474 million, an increase
of $92 million from the 1993 year-end level of $382 million. The company's
total debt was $3,499 million, a decrease of $23 million from the year-end
1993 level.
OTHER MATTERS
The company has received Notices of Proposed Adjustments from the Internal
Revenue Service related to a 1985 takeover attempt and the efforts
undertaken to defeat it. For more information, see Note 2 in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on page 4 of this report.
OUTLOOK
Worldwide crude oil prices improved during the second quarter and are
expected to remain stable in the third quarter. This improvement combined
with increasing production levels should benefit Union Oil in the future.
The demand for natural gas in the United States continues to be strong with
the current supply of natural gas able to meet the demand. Therefore, no
improvement in prices is expected in the third quarter.
The company's worldwide production of natural gas is expected to average
about 1,780 million cubic feet per day during the full-year 1994, up nearly
11 percent from the 1993 level. Crude oil and condensate production is
expected to average 258,000 barrels per day for the full-year 1994, up
nearly 5 percent from 1993.
The company continues to work toward its asset sales targets. Through the
first six months of 1994, the company has realized proceeds of $611 million
(after tax) from asset sales under the program announced in April 1992.
This represents 87 percent of the goal to generate at least $700 million in
after-tax proceeds by May 1994. Although the goal was not met by May 1994,
due mainly to soft market conditions, the company has identified additional
assets that it plans to sell to meet the goal by year-end 1994.
Union Oil has recently received expressions of interest from four different
firms in purchasing the company's crude oil and natural gas assets in
California. The company plans to determine if a sales agreement can be
reached that would be in the best interest of Union Oil. If a sale is
completed, the proceeds would give Union Oil additional flexibility and
financial strength to pursue and accelerate development of significant
growth opportunities in Union Oil's strategic areas of interest, such as
the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Asia.
The company recently announced a major reorganization of its corporate
management that would change the operating outlook of the company in the
future. For more detailed information, see the Current Report on Form 8-K
dated and filed June 27, 1994, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
1. In June 1994, the EPA filed an administrative complaint
against the Parent seeking $252,000 in civil penalties for
alleged late filing of certain reports regarding gas processing
plant inventories under the Toxic Substances Control Act
Inventory Update Rule. In light of the ambiguities in the
application of the rule to natural gas streams, the Parent
intends to appeal this complaint.
2. Union Oil and the operator of one of its product terminals
are finalizing negotiations with the California Air Resources
Board regarding prior gasoline additive concentration level
deficiencies (reported in the first quarter 1994 Form 10-Q Legal
Proceedings). Union Oil will pay a total civil penalty of
$526,666.
3. The State of Arizona filed suit against Union Oil in
Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona, in April 1994,
seeking civil penalties of $10,000 per day for each underground
storage tank allegedly violating the underground storage tank
regulations. Such penalties could exceed $100,000.
4. The Casmalia waste site in Casmalia, California, should be
added to the list of clean-up sites reported as Item No. 1 in the
1993 Form 10-K Legal Proceedings.
5. Citizens for a Better Environment, et al, v. Union Oil
Company of California, No. C94-0712, filed in federal district
court in San Francisco in March 1994, alleges that as of February
28, 1994, Union Oil's refinery at Rodeo, California, was in
violation of the selenium limit in its National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System permit. By a prior Cease and Desist
Order issued after notice and hearing, the permitting agency, the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, had deferred to
July 1998 the effective date of the selenium limitation in
question. Union Oil denies that the limits asserted by Citizens
have been in effect, and therefore denies any violation. Union
Oil's motion to dismiss the Citizens action was denied by the
trial court on July 8, 1994. Union Oil believes that the Court's
ruling is in error, and that it conflicts with precedent in two
other federal circuits. In the event that Union Oil is
unsuccessful in obtaining interlocutory review of the Court's
ruling, the company could suffer a trial court judgment for
penalties in excess of $100,000. An appeal of any such judgment
would be likely.
6. Settlement discussions on the past cost portion of the
McColl dumpsite litigation (reported as Item No. 5 in the 1993
Form 10-K Legal Proceedings) have been completed. The settlement
is awaiting judicial approval. Union Oil's share of the $18
million settlement is $3,375,000.
7. The company and the State of Ohio negotiated an Agreed
Addendum to the Consent Order for further investigation and
interim remedies at the Ashland Petroleum terminal/refinery site

Employee shall die, become unable or unwilling to perform his
duties under this Agreement, resign, or engage in misconduct.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically on June 30, 1997.

6. Employee recognizes that any business, economic or technical
information pertaining to his assignment and/or the technology of
Unocal Corporation, Union Oil Company of California or of any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates (jointly referred to as "Union")
which is received or developed by Employee in connection with
Employee's work hereunder, or which is otherwise disclosed to
Employee by Union either orally or in writing, is the sole
property of Union. Employee agrees to keep such information
confidential and not to use such information except in the course
of rendering services pursuant to this Agreement. Employee shall
not divulge such information to non-Union personnel, unless
authorized to do so by a writing directed to him by Unocal's
Chief Executive Officer either while performing services
