(Unaudited)
1. The information furnished in these financial statements is unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These
financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in
accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Additional information is contained in the USX Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which is effective for 1996. USX has not adopted SFAS No. 121. For
additional information, see USX Consolidated Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
2. The method of calculating net income (loss) per share for the Marathon
Stock, Steel Stock and Delhi Stock reflects the USX Board of Directors'
intent that the separately reported earnings and surplus of the Marathon
Group, the U. S. Steel Group and the Delhi Group, as determined consistent
with the USX Certificate of Incorporation, are available for payment of
dividends to the respective classes of stock, although legally available
funds and liquidation preferences of these classes of stock do not
necessarily correspond with these amounts. The financial statements of the
Marathon Group, the U. S. Steel Group and the Delhi Group, taken together,
include all accounts which comprise the corresponding consolidated
financial statements of USX.
Primary net income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income
(loss) for dividend requirements of preferred stock and, in the case of
Delhi Stock, for the income applicable to the Retained Interest; and is
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus
common stock equivalents, provided they are not antidilutive. Common stock
equivalents result from assumed exercise of stock options and surrender of
stock appreciation rights associated with stock options, where applicable.
Fully diluted net income (loss) per share assumes conversion of convertible
securities for the applicable periods outstanding and assumes exercise of
stock options and surrender of stock appreciation rights, provided, in each
case, the effect is not antidilutive.
3. The items below were included in both sales and operating costs, resulting
in no effect on income:

4. Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is
determined primarily under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

The inventory market valuation reserve reflects the extent that the
recorded cost of crude oil and refined products inventories exceeds net
realizable value. The reserve is decreased to reflect increases in market
prices and inventory turnover and increased to reflect decreases in market
prices. Changes in the inventory market valuation reserve resulted in a
$88 million and $128 million credit to operating income in the first
quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
5. Operating income included net periodic pension credits of $36 million and
$30 million in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
pension credits are primarily noncash and for the most part are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. The expected long-term rate
of return on plan assets, which is reflected in the calculation of net
periodic pension credits, was increased to 10% in 1995 from 9% in 1994.
6. The provision for estimated income taxes for the periods reported is based
on tax rates and amounts which recognize management's best estimate of
current and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
7. At March 31, 1995, USX had outstanding borrowings of $100 million against
its $2.325 billion long-term revolving credit agreement and had no
borrowings against short-term lines of credit totaling $165 million, which
require maintenance of compensating balances of 3%. At March 31, 1995,
$184 million of commercial paper and $418 million of zero coupon
convertible debentures were included in long-term debt, since the unused
portion of the long-term credit agreement was available for refinancing, if
needed.
In the event of a change in control of USX, debt obligations totaling
$4,034 million at March 31, 1995, may be declared immediately due and
payable.

8. USX has entered into agreements to sell certain accounts receivable subject
to limited recourse. Payments are collected from the sold accounts
receivable; the collections are reinvested in new accounts receivable for
the buyers; and a yield based on defined short-term market rates is
transferred to the buyers. At March 31, 1995, the balance of sold accounts
receivable that had not been collected was $750 million. Buyers have
collection rights to recover payments from an amount of outstanding
receivables for 115% to 120% of the outstanding receivables purchased on a
nonrecourse basis; such overcollateralization cannot exceed $133 million.
In the event of a change in control of USX, as defined in the agreements,
USX may be required to forward all payments collected on sold accounts
receivable to the buyers.
Prior to 1993, USX Credit, a division of USX, sold certain of its loans
receivable subject to limited recourse. USX Credit continues to collect
payments from the loans and transfer to the buyers principal collected plus
yield based on defined short-term market rates. At March 31, 1995, the
balance of sold loans receivable subject to recourse was $112 million. As
of March 31, 1995, USX Credit had outstanding loan commitments of $25
million. USX Credit is not actively seeking new loans at this time. In
the event of a change in control of USX, as defined in the agreement, USX
may be required to provide cash collateral in the amount of the uncollected
loans receivable to assure compliance with the limited recourse provisions.
9. USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of
matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment.
Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of
these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to
the consolidated financial statements. However, management believes that
USX will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is
possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably. See
discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources in USX Consolidated
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
In the first quarter of 1994, USX paid $360 million in judgments against
the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad (B&LE) in the Lower Lake Erie Iron Ore
Antitrust Litigation (MDL-587). Two remaining plaintiffs in this case have
had their damage claims remanded for retrial. A new trial may result in
awards more or less than the original asserted claims of $8 million and
would be subject to trebling.
In 1992, the United States District Court for the District of Utah Central
Division issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in Pickering v. USX relating
to pension and compensation claims by approximately 1,900 employees of
USX's former Geneva (Utah) Works. Although the Court dismissed a number of
the claims by the plaintiffs, it found that USX had violated the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act by interfering with the accrual of pension
benefits of certain employees and amending a benefit plan to reduce the
accrual of future benefits without proper notice to plan participants.
Plaintiffs' counsel has been reported as estimating plaintiff's anticipated
recovery to be in excess of $100 million. Further proceedings were held
in 1993 to determine damages for a sample group. In 1994, USX entered
into settlement agreements with 227 plaintiffs providing for releases
of liability against USX and the aggregate payment of approximately
$1 million by USX.

9. (Continued)
On May 5, 1995, the Court issued its Opinion on the damage issues
concerning the claims of the sample group of 23 plaintiffs. In its
Opinion, the Court appears to have rejected some of the arguments made
by USX during the damage phase of the trial as well as some of the
arguments put forth by the plaintiffs. USX currently is studying the
impact of this lengthy decision but, if upheld and applied to all
remaining cases, the decision could have an adverse impact on U. S. Steel
Group's results of operations. The damage decision, together with
the Court's earlier Opinion on liability issues, will most likely be
subject to an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
prior to any disposition of the remaining cases.
USX is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of
pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to
undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be
imposed for noncompliance. At March 31, 1995, accrued liabilities for
remediation totaled $179 million. It is not presently possible to estimate
the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the
penalties that may be imposed.
For a number of years, USX has made substantial capital expenditures to
bring existing facilities into compliance with various laws relating to the
environment. In the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, such capital
expenditures totaled $13 million and $19 million, respectively. USX
anticipates making additional such expenditures in the future; however, the
exact amounts and timing of such expenditures are uncertain because of the
continuing evolution of specific regulatory requirements.
At March 31, 1995, accrued liabilities for platform abandonment and
dismantlement totaled $123 million.
By reason of Executive Orders and related regulations under which the U.S.
Government is continuing economic sanctions against Libya, USX was required
to discontinue performing its Libyan petroleum contracts on June 30, 1986.
In June 1989, the Department of the Treasury authorized USX to resume
performing under those contracts. Pursuant to that authorization, USX has
engaged the Libyan National Oil Company and the Secretary of Petroleum in
continuing negotiations to determine when and on what basis they are
willing to allow USX to resume realizing revenue from USX's investment of
$107 million in Libya. USX is uncertain when these negotiations can be
completed.
Guarantees by USX of the liabilities of affiliated and other entities
totaled $179 million at March 31, 1995. In the event that any defaults of
guaranteed liabilities occur, USX has access to its interest in the assets
of most of the affiliates to reduce losses resulting from these guarantees.
As of March 31, 1995, the largest guarantee for a single affiliate was $82
million.
At March 31, 1995, USX's pro rata share of obligations of LOOP INC. and
various pipeline affiliates secured by throughput and deficiency agreements
totaled $196 million. Under the agreements, USX is required to advance
funds if the affiliates are unable to service debt. Any such advances are
prepayments of future transportation charges.
Contract commitments for capital expenditures for property, plant and
equipment at March 31, 1995, totaled $400 million compared with $283
million at December 31, 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the first
quarter 1995 USX consolidated financial statements and selected notes.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
See the Consolidated Statement of Operations - Income per Common Share for
comparative amounts applicable to the three classes of common stock.
SALES in the first quarter of 1995 increased $765 million or 18%, from the
same period in 1994. The improvement primarily reflected increases of 21% and
14%, respectively, in sales for the Marathon Group and the U. S. Steel Group.
Matching buy/sell transactions and excise taxes, which accounted for 33% of the
increase, are included in both sales and operating costs of the Marathon Group,
resulting in no effect on operating income.
OPERATING INCOME increased $150 million in the first quarter of 1995 from
the same period in 1994. First quarter operating income included favorable
noncash effects of $88 million in 1995 and $128 million in 1994 resulting from
decreases in the inventory market valuation reserve. Excluding the effects of
the changes in the inventory market valuation reserve, first quarter 1995
operating income improved $190 million from the first quarter of 1994 due
primarily to increases of $25 million and $158 million in operating results for
the Marathon Group and the U. S. Steel Group, respectively.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL COSTS increased $21 million in the first
quarter of 1995 from the same period in 1994, primarily due to lower capitalized
interest at the Marathon Group.
NET INCOME of $154 million was recorded in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with net income of $75 million in the first quarter of 1994.
On April 5, 1995, an explosion damaged the Gary Works' No. 8 blast furnace.
Repairs are in progress, but the furnace is not expected to return to production
until late in the third quarter of 1995. For further discussion, see
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the U. S. Steel Group.
On May 5, 1995, the United States District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah
issued its Opinion on the damage issues in litigation arising out of the sale
of USX's former Geneva (Utah) Works in 1987. For further information, see
Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

cents per share on Delhi Stock, all payable June 10, 1995, to stockholders of
record at the close of business on May 17, 1995.
The Board also declared a dividend of $0.8125 per share on USX
Corporation's 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and $0.99375 per
share on USX Corporation's Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, in each
case payable June 30, 1995, to stockholders of record at the close of business
on May 31, 1995.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Cash Flows
- ----------
At March 31, 1995, cash and cash equivalents totaled $107 million compared
with $48 million at December 31, 1994.
NET CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES totaled $319 million in the
first quarter of 1995, compared with net cash used in operating activities of
$206 million in the first quarter of 1994. The net cash used in operating
activities in the first quarter of 1994 primarily reflected payments of $360
million to settle substantially all of the remaining judgments from the B&LE
litigation. Excluding the 1994 payments, net cash provided from operating
activities increased $165 million in the first quarter of 1995 from the same
period in 1994. The increase mainly reflected favorable working capital changes
and improved profitability.
USX's total long-term debt and notes payable at March 31, 1995, was $5.6
billion, down $26 million from December 31, 1994. At March 31, 1995, USX had
outstanding borrowings of $100 million against the long-term revolving credit
agreement, leaving $2,225 million of available unused committed credit
agreements. In addition, USX had $340 million of available unused short-term
lines of credit, of which $175 million requires a commitment fee and the other
$165 million generally requires maintenance of compensating balances of 3%.
Hedging Activity
- ----------------
USX engages in hedging activities in the normal course of its businesses.
Futures contracts, commodity swaps and options are used to hedge exposure to
price fluctuations relevant to the purchase or sale of crude oil, natural gas
and refined products. Forward currency contracts have been used to manage
currency risks related to anticipated revenues and operating costs, firm
commitments for capital expenditures and existing assets or liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency. While hedging activities are generally used
to reduce risks from unfavorable commodity price and currency rate movements,
they also may limit the opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. USX's
hedging activities have not been significant in relation to its overall business
activity. Based on the risk assessment procedures and internal controls in
place, management believes that its use of hedging instruments will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of
operations of USX.

USX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Liquidity
- ---------
USX believes that its short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to
satisfy its obligations as of March 31, 1995, and to complete currently
authorized capital spending programs. Future requirements for USX's business
needs, including the funding of capital expenditures, debt maturities for the
balance of 1995 and years 1996 and 1997 are expected to be financed by a
combination of internally generated funds, proceeds from the sale of stock,
future borrowings and other external financing sources.
Capital Expenditures
- --------------------
Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in the first quarter
of 1995 was $159 million compared with $162 million in the same period in 1994.
For further details, see the Financial Statistics table.
For the year 1995, capital expenditures are expected to total approximately
$1.1 billion. The increase from 1994 of $105 million is expected to result
mainly from higher spending for the U. S. Steel Group. For details, see
discussion of Capital Expenditures for the Marathon Group, the U. S. Steel Group
and the Delhi Group.
Contract commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 1994, were
$400 million, compared with $283 million at year-end 1994.
Environmental Matters, Contingencies and Commitments
- ----------------------------------------------------
USX has incurred and will continue to incur substantial capital, operating
and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws
and regulations. To the extent these expenditures, as with all costs, are not
ultimately reflected in the prices of USX's products and services, operating
results will be adversely affected. USX believes that domestic competitors of
the U. S. Steel Group and substantially all the competitors of the Marathon
Group and the Delhi Group are subject to similar environmental laws and
regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending
on a number of factors, including the age and location of its operating
facilities, marketing areas, production processes and the specific products and
services its provides.
USX has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at
47 waste sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act ("CERCLA") as of March 31, 1995. In addition, there are 33 sites
where USX has received information requests or other indications that USX may be
a PRP under CERCLA but where sufficient information is not presently available
to confirm the existence of liability. There are also 107 additional sites,
excluding retail gasoline stations, where remediation is being sought under
other environmental statutes, both federal and state. At many of these sites,
USX is one of a number of parties involved and the total cost of remediation, as
well as USX's share thereof, is frequently dependent upon the outcome of
investigations and remedial studies. USX accrues for environmental remediation
activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of
associated costs is reasonably determinable. As environmental remediation
matters proceed toward
<PAGE> 17
USX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
ultimate resolution or as additional remediation obligations arise, charges in
excess of those previously accrued may be required. See Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters,
including laws and regulations relating to the environment certain of which are
discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The ultimate
resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be
material to the consolidated financial statements. However, management believes
that USX will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is
possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably. See discussion
of Cash Flows and Liquidity herein.
Accounting Standard
- -------------------
In March 1995, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"). This
standard must be adopted no later than the 1996 reporting year but can be
adopted early. SFAS No. 121 requires that operating assets and associated
goodwill be written down to fair value whenever an impairment review indicates
that the carrying value cannot be recovered on an undiscounted cash flow basis.
After any such noncash write-down, results of operations would be favorably
affected by reduced depreciation, depletion and amortization charges. USX has
initiated an extensive review of SFAS No. 121 and, at this time, cannot provide
an assessment of either the impact or the timing of adoption, although it is
likely that it could be required to recognize certain charges upon adoption.

SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
1. The information furnished in these financial statements is unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These
financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in
accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Additional information is contained in the USX Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which is effective for 1996. USX has not adopted SFAS No. 121. For
additional information, see Marathon Group Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
2. The financial statements of the Marathon Group include the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the businesses of
Marathon Oil Company and certain other subsidiaries of USX, and a portion
of the corporate assets and liabilities and related transactions which are
not separately identified with ongoing operating units of USX. These
financial statements are prepared using the amounts included in the USX
consolidated financial statements. Corporate amounts reflected in these
financial statements are determined based upon methods which management
believes to be reasonable. The accounting policies applicable to the
preparation of the financial statements of the Marathon Group may be
modified or rescinded in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of
USX (Board), although the Board has no present intention to do so. The
Board may also adopt additional policies depending on the circumstances.
Although the financial statements of the Marathon Group, the U. S. Steel
Group and the Delhi Group separately report the assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity of USX
attributed to each such group, such attribution of assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity among the
Marathon Group, the U. S. Steel Group and the Delhi Group for the purpose
of preparing their respective financial statements does not affect legal
title to such assets and responsibility for such liabilities. Holders of
USX-Marathon Group Common Stock (Marathon Stock), USX-U. S. Steel Group
Common Stock (Steel Stock) and USX-Delhi Group Common Stock (Delhi Stock)
are holders of common stock of USX and continue to be subject to all the
risks associated with an investment in USX and all of its businesses and
liabilities. Financial impacts arising from one Group that affect the
overall cost of USX's capital could affect the results of operations and
financial condition of other groups. In addition, net losses of any group,
as well as dividends or distributions on any class of USX common stock or
series of Preferred Stock and repurchases of any class of USX common stock
or series of Preferred Stock at prices in excess of par or stated value,
will reduce the funds of USX legally available for payment of dividends on
all classes of common stock. Accordingly, the USX consolidated financial
information should be read in connection with the Marathon Group financial
information.

3. The method of calculating net income (loss) per share for the Marathon
Stock, Steel Stock and Delhi Stock reflects the Board's intent that the
separately reported earnings and surplus of the Marathon Group, the
U. S. Steel Group and the Delhi Group, as determined consistent with the
USX Certificate of Incorporation, are available for payment of dividends to
the respective classes of stock, although legally available funds and
liquidation preferences of these classes of stock do not necessarily
correspond with these amounts.
Primary net income per share is calculated by adjusting net income for
dividend requirements of preferred stock and is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents,
provided they are not antidilutive. Common stock equivalents result from
assumed exercise of stock options and surrender of stock appreciation
rights associated with stock options, where applicable.
Fully diluted net income per share assumes conversion of convertible
securities for the applicable periods outstanding and assumes exercise of
stock options and surrender of stock appreciation rights, provided, in each
case, the effect is not antidilutive.
4. The items below were included in both sales and operating costs, resulting
in no effect on income:

5. (Continued)
The inventory market valuation reserve reflects the extent that the
recorded cost of crude oil and refined products inventories exceeds net
realizable value. The reserve is decreased to reflect increases in market
prices and inventory turnover and increased to reflect decreases in market
prices. Changes in the inventory market valuation reserve resulted in a
$88 million and $128 million credit to operating income in the first
quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
6. Other income in the first quarter of 1994 included a pretax gain of $22
million from disposal of assets, primarily related to the sale of certain
domestic oil and gas production properties.
7. The financial statement provision for estimated income taxes and related
tax payments or refunds have been reflected in the Marathon Group, the U.
S. Steel Group and the Delhi Group financial statements in accordance with
USX's tax allocation policy for such groups. In general, such policy
provides that the consolidated tax provision and related tax payments or
refunds are allocated among the Marathon Group, the U. S. Steel Group and
the Delhi Group for group financial statement purposes, based principally
upon the financial income, taxable amount, credits, preferences and other
amounts directly related to the respective groups.
The provision for estimated income taxes for the Marathon Group is based on
tax rates and amounts which recognize management's best estimate of current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences between the combined
interim tax provisions of the Marathon, U. S. Steel and Delhi Groups and
USX consolidated are allocated to each group based on the relationship of
the individual group provisions to the combined interim provisions.
8. The Marathon Group has entered into an agreement, subject to limited
recourse, to sell certain accounts receivable including accounts receivable
purchased from the Delhi Group. Payments are collected from the sold
accounts receivable; the collections are reinvested in new accounts
receivable for the buyers; and a yield based on defined short-term market
rates is transferred to the buyers. At March 31, 1995, the balance of sold
accounts receivable that had not been collected was $400 million. Buyers
have collection rights to recover payments from an amount of outstanding
receivables equal to 120% of the outstanding receivables purchased on a
nonrecourse basis. Such overcollateralization cannot exceed $80 million.
In the event of a change in control of USX, as defined in the agreement,
the Marathon Group may be required to forward payments collected on sold
accounts receivable to the buyers.
9. USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the Marathon Group
involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to
the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The
ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the
aggregate, be material to the Marathon Group financial statements.
However, management believes that USX will remain a viable and competitive
enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be
resolved unfavorably to the Marathon Group. See discussion of Liquidity
and Capital Resources in USX Consolidated Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

9. (Continued)
The Marathon Group is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for
control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible
parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites.
Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At March 31, 1995, accrued
liabilities for remediation totaled $44 million. It is not presently
possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that
might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed.
For a number of years, the Marathon Group has made substantial capital
expenditures to bring existing facilities into compliance with various laws
relating to the environment. In the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, such
capital expenditures totaled $7 million and $5 million, respectively. The
Marathon Group anticipates making additional such expenditures in the
future; however, the exact amounts and timing of such expenditures are
uncertain because of the continuing evolution of specific regulatory
requirements.
At March 31, 1995, accrued liabilities for platform abandonment and
dismantlement totaled $123 million.
By reason of Executive Orders and related regulations under which the
U.S. Government is continuing economic sanctions against Libya, the
Marathon Group was required to discontinue performing its Libyan petroleum
contracts on June 30, 1986. In June 1989, the Department of the Treasury
authorized the Marathon Group to resume performing under those contracts.
Pursuant to that authorization, the Marathon Group has engaged the Libyan
National Oil Company and the Secretary of Petroleum in continuing
negotiations to determine when and on what basis they are willing to allow
the Marathon Group to resume realizing revenue from the Marathon Group's
investment of $107 million in Libya. The Marathon Group is uncertain when
these negotiations can be completed.
Guarantees by USX of the liabilities of affiliated and other entities of
the Marathon Group totaled $18 million at March 31, 1995.
At March 31, 1995, the Marathon Group's pro rata share of obligations of
LOOP INC. and various pipeline affiliates secured by throughput and
deficiency agreements totaled $196 million. Under the agreements, the
Marathon Group is required to advance funds if the affiliates are unable to
service debt. Any such advances are prepayments of future transportation
charges.
At March 31, 1995, contract commitments for the Marathon Group's capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $219 million
compared with $158 million at December 31, 1994.

The Marathon Group includes Marathon Oil Company ("Marathon") and certain
other subsidiaries of USX which are engaged in worldwide exploration,
production, transportation and marketing of crude oil and natural gas; and
domestic refining, marketing and transportation of petroleum products.
Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the
first quarter 1995 USX consolidated financial information and the Marathon Group
financial statements and selected notes. The discussion of Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with the Supplemental Statistics
provided on page 31.
Results of Operations

SALES totaled $3.3 billion in the first quarter of 1995, compared with
$2.7 billion in the first quarter of 1994, as summarized in the following table:

(b) Included in both sales and operating costs, resulting in no effect on

</TABLE>
The 21% improvement from the prior-year first quarter primarily reflected
higher average prices for worldwide liquid hydrocarbons and domestic refined
products (including matching buy/sell transactions), increased excise taxes, and
increased volumes for domestic refined products and worldwide liquid
hydrocarbons and natural gas.
OPERATING INCOME totaled $211 million in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with $226 million in the first quarter of 1994. First quarter
operating income for 1995 and 1994 included favorable noncash effects of
$88 million and $128 million, respectively, reflecting adjustments (decreases)
to the inventory market valuation reserve. This reserve reflects the extent to
which the recorded costs of crude oil and refined product inventories exceed net
realizable value. The amounts of increases or decreases in the reserve in
future periods are dependent on changes in future crude oil and refined product
price levels, and inventory turnover.
Excluding the effects of adjustments to the inventory market valuation
reserve, operating income in the first quarter of 1995 increased by $25 million,
or 26%, from the first quarter of 1994, due primarily to increased average
worldwide
<PAGE> 27
MARATHON GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
liquid hydrocarbon prices and volumes, increased average worldwide natural gas
sales volumes and higher average international natural gas prices, partially
offset by a decline in average refined product margins and lower average
domestic natural gas prices.
Operating income from worldwide exploration and production was $147 million
in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $17 million in the first quarter of
1994. Operating income from domestic exploration and production was $85
million in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $15 million in the first
quarter of 1994. The improvement was primarily due to higher average liquid
hydrocarbon prices and volumes, increased average natural gas sales volumes and
reduced dry well expenses, partially offset by lower average natural gas sales
prices. The increase in domestic liquid hydrocarbon volumes primarily reflected
production from the Ewing Bank 873 Field in the Gulf of Mexico, which began in
August 1994. The increase in domestic natural gas volumes primarily reflected
successful drilling programs in Wyoming, Texas and Oklahoma, which more than
offset natural declines.
Operating income from international exploration and production was $62
million in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $2 million in the first
quarter of 1994. The improvement was primarily due to increased liquid
hydrocarbon liftings, higher average liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas prices
and increased average international natural gas sales volumes. The increase in
average liquid hydrocarbon liftings mainly reflected increased production from
the East Brae Field in the U.K. North Sea. Production from this field averaged
95,500 gross barrels per day ("bpd") during the first quarter of 1995. Marathon
owns a 38.5% revenue interest in this field. The increase in international
natural gas sales volumes mainly reflected contractual Brae area gas sales,
which began in October 1994. Contractual gas sales volumes through the Scottish
Area Gas Evacuation ("SAGE") pipeline system averaged 129 net million cubic feet
per day ("mmcfd") during the first quarter of 1995, including 54 net mmcfd
acquired for injection and subsequent resale. Demand for natural gas from the
Brae area, and from the V-Fields gas development in the Southern Basin of the
U.K. North Sea, has been lower than anticipated, due mainly to unseasonably warm
weather in the U.K. However, annual cash flows from the two primary Brae-area
natural gas sales contracts are largely protected by take-or-pay provisions.
Refining, marketing and transportation operations had a $5 million
operating loss in the first quarter of 1995, compared with operating income of
$97 million in the first quarter of 1994. The favorable effects of increased
refined product sales volumes, higher average refined product prices and lower
maintenance expenses for refinery turnaround activity were more than offset by
increases in crude oil and other raw material costs. Operating income in the
first quarter of 1994 included income of $16 million from Emro Propane Company
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon's Emro Marketing Company) which
distributed propane to residential and industrial consumers in the Midwest. The
assets of Emro Propane Company were sold in September 1994.
First quarter 1995 refined product margins were adversely affected by
unseasonably warm weather (which put downward pressure on heating-oil prices)
and by uncertainties surrounding markets for reformulated gasoline ("RFG"). As
various markets opted out of the RFG program, the resulting inventory surplus
led to

---------------------------------------------
depressed wholesale market prices for RFG and other gasoline grades, despite
increased raw material costs.
OTHER INCOME of $5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with $22 million in the first quarter of 1994. Other income in the
first quarter of 1995 primarily reflected income from affiliated operations.
Other income in the first quarter of 1994 primarily reflected gains on the sale
of certain domestic oil and gas production properties.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL COSTS in the first quarter of 1995
increased by $18 million, or 26%, from the first quarter of 1994, primarily
reflecting lower capitalized interest following the completion during 1994 of
the East Brae project and SAGE system. Interest and other financial costs for
the total year 1995 are expected to increase, mainly as a result of an estimated
$40 million reduction in capitalized interest.
NET INCOME for the Marathon Group totaled $77 million, or $.26 per share,
in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $110 million, or $.38 per share, in
the first quarter of 1994. The decline in net income primarily reflects the
factors discussed above.
Outlook
- -------
Beginning in the second half of 1995, worldwide liquid hydrocarbon volumes
are expected to trend upward slightly from first quarter levels, mainly
reflecting production from two fields, offshore Indonesia. Production from the
KG Field began in April, and production from the KRA Field is expected to begin
in June. Worldwide natural gas sales volumes are expected to trend downward in
the second and third quarters of 1995 and rebound in the fourth quarter, mainly
reflecting seasonal demand fluctuations.
See Accounting Standard below for discussion of a new Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards which, upon adoption, may affect future Marathon
Group operating results.
The Marathon Group's posted price for West Texas Intermediate, a benchmark
crude oil, averaged $18.19 per barrel in April 1995, compared with a first
quarter average of $16.79 per barrel. The outlook regarding prices and costs
for the Marathon Group's principal products is largely dependent upon world
market developments for crude oil and refined products. Market conditions in
the petroleum industry are cyclical and subject to global economics and
political events.
Cash Flows
- ----------
NET CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES was $121 million in the first
quarter of 1995, compared with $73 million in the first quarter of 1994. The
improvement mainly reflected increased volumes and prices for worldwide liquid
hydrocarbons, increased volumes for worldwide natural gas, and favorable working
capital changes of $10 million, partially offset by lower refined product
margins.
CASH FROM THE DISPOSAL OF ASSETS was $4 million in the first quarter of
1995, compared with $28 million in the first quarter of 1994. Proceeds in both
periods primarily reflected the sale of certain domestic oil and gas production
properties.
<PAGE> 29
MARATHON GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS increased by $77 million in the first quarter of 1995
as cash used in investing activities and dividends paid exceeded cash provided
from operating activities. Financial obligations consist of the Marathon
Group's portion of USX debt and preferred stock of a subsidiary attributed to
all three groups, as well as debt specifically attributed to the Marathon Group.
Hedging Activity
- ----------------
The Marathon Group engages in hedging activities in the normal course of
its business. Futures contracts, commodity swaps and options are used to hedge
exposure to price fluctuations relevant to the purchase or sale of crude oil,
natural gas and refined products. Forward currency contracts have been used to
manage currency risks related to anticipated revenues and operating costs, firm
commitments for
capital expenditures and existing assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency. While hedging activities are generally used to reduce risks from
unfavorable commodity price and currency rate movements, they also may limit the
opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. The Marathon Group's hedging
activities have not been significant in relation to its overall business
activity. Based on risk assessment procedures and internal controls in place,
management believes that its use of hedging instruments will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Marathon Group.
Liquidity
- ---------
For discussion of USX's liquidity and capital resources, see USX
Consolidated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Capital Expenditures
- --------------------
Marathon Group capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in
the first quarter of 1995 totaled $97 million, compared with $113 million in
the first quarter of 1994. Expenditures in both periods were primarily for
upstream projects. Capital expenditures for the year 1995 are expected to
remain at about the same level as in 1994, or approximately $750 million.
Contract commitments for capital expenditures were $219 million at
March 31, 1995, compared with $158 million at year-end 1994.
Environmental Matters, Contingencies and Commitments
- ----------------------------------------------------
The Marathon Group has incurred and will continue to incur substantial
capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of
environmental laws and regulations. To the extent these expenditures, as with
all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of the Marathon Group's
products and services, operating results will be adversely affected. The
Marathon Group believes that substantially all of its competitors are subject
to similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on
each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age
and location of its operating facilities, marketing areas, production
processes and whether or not it is engaged in the petrochemical business or the
marine transportation of crude oil and refined products.
<PAGE> 30
MARATHON GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Environmental expenditures in 1992 and 1993 included amounts for the
installation of distillate desulfurization facilities at three refineries,
enabling Marathon to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency's
standards limiting the sulfur content of highway transportation diesel fuels.
Total U.S. production of low-sulfur diesel fuels has exceeded demand, putting
downward pressure on the spread between low- and high-sulfur fuel prices and
limiting the ability of refiner/marketers to recoup capital investments in
desulfurization facilities.
USX has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
at 20 waste sites related to the Marathon Group under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as of March
31, 1995. In addition, there are seven sites related to the Marathon Group
where USX has received information requests or other indications that USX may
be a PRP under CERCLA but where sufficient information is not presently
available to confirm the existence of liability. There are also 63
additional sites, excluding retail marketing outlets, related to the Marathon
Group where remediation is being sought under other environmental statutes,
both federal and state. At many of these sites, USX is one of a number of
parties involved and the total cost of remediation, as well as USX's share
thereof, is frequently dependent upon the outcome ofinvestigations and remedial
studies. The Marathon Group accrues for environmental remediation
activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount
of associated costs is reasonably determinable. As environmental
remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as additional
remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously
accrued may be required.
USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the Marathon Group
involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the
environment (see Note 9 to the Marathon Group financial statements for a
discussion of certain of these matters). The ultimate resolution of these
contingencies could,individually or in the aggregate, be material to the
Marathon Group financial statements. However, management believes that USX
will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible
that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably to the Marathon
Group. See discussion of Financial Condition in USX Consolidated
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Accounting Standard
- -------------------
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121--Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS
No. 121"). This standard must be adopted no later than the 1996 reporting
year, but can be adopted early.
SFAS No. 121 requires that operating assets and associated goodwill be written
down to fair value whenever an impairment review indicates that the carrying
value cannot be recovered on an undiscounted cash flow basis. After any such
noncash write-down, results of operations would be favorably affected by
reduced depreciation, depletion and amortization charges. USX has initiated an
extensive review of SFAS No. 121 and, at this time, cannot provide an
assessment of either the impact or the timing of adoption, although it is
likely that the Marathon Group could be required to recognize certain charges
upon adoption.

SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
1. The information furnished in these financial statements is unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These
financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in
accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Additional information is contained in the USX Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which is effective for 1996. USX has not adopted SFAS No. 121. For
additional information, see the U. S. Steel Group Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
2. The financial statements of the U. S. Steel Group include the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for all businesses of USX
other than the businesses, assets and liabilities included in the Marathon
Group or the Delhi Group, and a portion of the corporate assets and
liabilities and related transactions which are not separately identified
with ongoing operating units of USX. These financial statements are
prepared using the amounts included in the USX consolidated financial
statements. Corporate amounts reflected in these financial statements are
determined based upon methods which management believes to be reasonable.
The accounting policies applicable to the preparation of the financial
statements of the U. S. Steel Group may be modified or rescinded in the
sole discretion of the Board of Directors of USX (Board), although the
Board has no present intention to do so. The Board may also adopt
additional policies depending on the circumstances.
Although the financial statements of the U. S. Steel Group, the Marathon
Group and the Delhi Group separately report the assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity of USX
attributed to each such group, such attribution of assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity among the U. S.
Steel Group, the Marathon Group and the Delhi Group for purposes of
preparing their respective financial statements does not affect legal title
to such assets and responsibility for such liabilities. Holders of USX-
U. S. Steel Group Common Stock (Steel Stock), USX-Marathon Group Common
Stock (Marathon Stock) and USX-Delhi Group Common Stock (Delhi Stock) are
holders of common stock of USX and continue to be subject to all the risks
associated with an investment in USX and all of its businesses and
liabilities. Financial impacts arising from one Group that affect the
overall cost of USX's capital could affect the results of operations and
financial condition of other groups. In addition, net losses of any group,
as well as dividends or distributions on any class of USX common stock or
series of Preferred Stock and repurchases of any class of USX common stock
or series of Preferred Stock at prices in excess of par or stated value,
will reduce the funds of USX legally available for payment of dividends on
all classes of common stock. Accordingly, the USX consolidated financial
information should be read in connection with the U. S. Steel Group
financial information.

3. The method of calculating net income (loss) per share for the Steel Stock,
Marathon Stock and Delhi Stock reflects the Board's intent that the
separately reported earnings and surplus of the U. S. Steel Group, the
Marathon Group and the Delhi Group, as determined consistent with the USX
Certificate of Incorporation, are available for payment of dividends to the
respective classes of stock, although legally available funds and
liquidation preferences of these classes of stock do not necessarily
correspond with these amounts.
Primary net income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income
(loss) for dividend requirements of preferred stock and is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock
equivalents, provided they are not antidilutive. Common stock equivalents
result from assumed exercise of stock options and surrender of stock
appreciation rights associated with stock options, where applicable.
Fully diluted net income (loss) per share assumes conversion of convertible
securities for the applicable periods outstanding and assumes exercise of
stock options and surrender of stock appreciation rights, provided, in each
case, the effect is not antidilutive.
4. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost of
inventories is determined primarily under the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method.

5. Operating income included net periodic pension credits of $33 million and
$30 million in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
pension credits are primarily noncash and for the most part are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. The expected long-term rate
of return on plan assets, which is reflected in the calculation of net
periodic pension credits, was increased to 10% in 1995 from 9% in 1994.

6. The financial statement provision for estimated income taxes and related
tax payments or refunds have been reflected in the U. S. Steel Group, the
Marathon Group and the Delhi Group financial statements in accordance with
USX's tax allocation policy for such groups. In general, such policy
provides that the consolidated tax provision and related tax payments or
refunds are allocated among the U. S. Steel Group, the Marathon Group and
the Delhi Group for group financial statement purposes, based principally
upon the financial income, taxable amount, credits, preferences and other
amounts directly related to the respective groups.
The provision (credit) for estimated income taxes for the U. S. Steel Group
is based on tax rates and amounts which recognize management's best
estimate of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences
between the combined interim tax provisions of the U. S. Steel, Marathon
and Delhi Groups and USX consolidated are allocated to each group based on
the relationship of the individual group provisions to the combined interim
provisions.
7. The U. S. Steel Group has entered into an agreement to sell certain
accounts receivable subject to limited recourse. Payments are collected
from the sold accounts receivable; the collections are reinvested in new
accounts receivable for the buyers; and a yield based on defined short-term
market rates is transferred to the buyers. At March 31, 1995, the balance
of sold accounts receivable that had not been collected was $350 million.
Buyers have collection rights to recover payments from an amount of
outstanding receivables equal to 115% of the outstanding receivables
purchased on a nonrecourse basis. Such overcollateralization cannot exceed
$53 million. In the event of a change in control of USX, as defined in the
agreement, the U. S. Steel Group may be required to forward payments
collected on sold accounts receivable to the buyers.
Prior to 1993, USX Credit, a division of USX, sold certain of its loans
receivable subject to limited recourse. USX Credit continues to collect
payments from the loans and transfer to the buyers principal collected plus
yield based on defined short-term market rates. At March 31, 1995, the
balance of sold loans receivable subject to recourse was $112 million. As
of March 31, 1995, USX Credit had outstanding loan commitments of $25
million. USX Credit is not actively making new loan commitments. In the
event of a change in control of USX, as defined in the agreement, the U. S.
Steel Group may be required to provide cash collateral in the amount of the
uncollected loans receivable to assure compliance with the limited recourse
provisions.
8. USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the U. S. Steel
Group involving a variety of matters including laws and regulations
relating to the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below.
The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in
the aggregate, be material to the U. S. Steel Group financial statements.
However, management believes that USX will remain a viable and competitive
enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be
resolved unfavorably to the U. S. Steel Group. See discussion of Liquidity
and Capital Resources in USX Consolidated Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

8. (Continued)
In the first quarter of 1994, USX paid $360 million in judgments against
the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad (B&LE) in the Lower Lake Erie Iron Ore
Antitrust Litigation (MDL-587). Two remaining plaintiffs in this case have
had their damage claims remanded for retrial. A new trial may result in
awards more or less than the original asserted claims of $8 million and
would be subject to trebling.
In 1992, the United States District Court for the District of Utah Central
Division issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in Pickering v. USX relating
to pension and compensation claims by approximately 1,900 employees of
USX's former Geneva (Utah) Works. Although the Court dismissed a number of
the claims by the plaintiffs, it found that USX had violated the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act by interfering with the accrual of pension
benefits of certain employees and amending a benefit plan to reduce the
accrual of future benefits without proper notice to plan participants.
Plaintiffs' counsel has been reported as estimating plaintiff's anticipated
recovery to be in excess of $100 million. Further proceedings were held
in 1993 to determine damages for a sample group. In 1994, USX entered into
settlement agreements with 227 plaintiffs providing for releases of
liability against USX and the aggregate payment of approximately $1 million
by USX. On May 5, 1995, the Court issued its Opinion on the damage issues
concerning the claims of the sample group of 23 plaintiffs. In its
Opinion, the Court appears to have rejected some of the arguments made by
USX during the damage phase of the trial as well as some of the arguments
put forth by the plaintiffs. USX currently is studying the impact of this
lengthy decision but, if upheld and applied to all remaining cases, the
decision could have an adverse impact on U. S. Steel Group's results of
operations. The damage decision, together with the Court's earlier
Opinion on liability issues, will most likely be subject to an appeal to
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit prior to any disposition
of the remaining cases.
The U. S. Steel Group is subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for
control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible
parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites.
Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At March 31, 1995, accrued
liabilities for remediation totaled $135 million. It is not presently
possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that
might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed.
For a number of years, the U. S. Steel Group has made substantial capital
expenditures to bring existing facilities into compliance with various laws
relating to the environment. In the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, such
capital expenditures totaled $5 million and $13 million, respectively. The
U. S. Steel Group anticipates making additional such expenditures in the
future; however, the exact amounts and timing of such expenditures are
uncertain because of the continuing evolution of specific regulatory
requirements.
Guarantees by USX of the liabilities of affiliated entities of the U. S.
Steel Group totaled $161 million at March 31, 1995. In the event that any
defaults of guaranteed liabilities occur, USX has access to its interest in
the assets of the affiliates to reduce U. S. Steel Group losses resulting
from these guarantees. As of March 31, 1995, the largest guarantee for a
single affiliate was $82 million.
At March 31, 1995, contract commitments for the U. S. Steel Group's capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $181 million
compared with $125 million at December 31, 1994.

U. S. STEEL GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The U. S. Steel Group includes U. S. Steel, which is primarily engaged in
the production and sale of steel mill products, coke and taconite pellets. The
U. S. Steel Group also includes the management of mineral resources, domestic
coal mining, engineering and consulting services and technology licensing
(together with U. S. Steel, the "Steel and Related Businesses"). Other
businesses that are part of the U. S. Steel Group include real estate
development and management, and leasing and financing activities. Management's
Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the first quarter
1995 USX consolidated financial information and the U. S. Steel Group financial
statements and selected notes. The discussion of Results of Operations should
be read in conjunction with the Supplemental Statistics provided on page 44.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
SALES for the U. S. Steel Group increased $193 million in the first quarter
of 1995 compared with the first quarter of 1994. The increase primarily
resulted from higher steel shipment prices and volumes.
OPERATING INCOME for the U. S. Steel Group totaled $134 million in the
first quarter of 1995, compared with an operating loss of $24 million in the
same quarter of 1994. The $158 million increase mainly reflected improved
results from Steel and Related Businesses.
Steel and Related Businesses reported operating income of $100 million in
1995, compared with an operating loss of $36 million in the same quarter of
1994. The $136 million improvement was mainly due to higher steel shipment
prices and volumes, partially offset by the effects of three planned blast
furnace outages in the first quarter of 1995 and accruals for profit sharing
plans. In addition, operating results for the first quarter of 1994 were
negatively affected by utility curtailments and other severe winter weather
complications, a caster fire at the Mon Valley Works and planned outages for
modernization of the Gary Works hot strip mill and pickle line.
Administrative and Other Businesses includes the portion of pension
credits, postretirement benefit costs and certain other expenses principally
attributable to the former businesses of the U. S. Steel Group as well as USX
corporate general and administrative costs allocated to the U. S. Steel Group.
Operating income for Administrative and Other Businesses in the first quarter of
1995 increased $22 million over the same quarter of 1994 primarily due to lower
environmental accruals and higher income from real estate development and
management.
OTHER INCOME in the first quarter of 1995 increased $14 million over first
quarter 1994 due to increased income from affiliates.
NET INCOME for the U. S. Steel Group totaled $74 million, or $.89 per
share, in the first quarter of 1995, compared with a net loss of $35 million, or
$.56 per share, in the same quarter of 1994. The improvement in net income
primarily reflects the factors discussed above.
First quarter 1995 steel shipments of 2.7 million tons increased more than
10% from the same quarter of 1994. Raw steel production in the first quarter of
1995 totaled 2.9 million tons, an increase of 7% over first quarter 1994. Raw
steel
<PAGE> 40
U. S. STEEL GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
production in the first quarter of 1995 averaged 96% versus 93% of capability
in the first quarter of 1994. As a result of improvements in operating
efficiencies, U. S. Steel has increased its stated annual raw steel production
capability by 0.5 million tons to 12.5 million tons for 1995.
Outlook
- -------
On April 5, 1995, an explosion damaged the Gary Works' No. 8 blast furnace.
Repairs are in progress, but the furnace is not expected to return to production
until late in the third quarter of 1995. Until the furnace is repaired, raw
steel production will be reduced by approximately 100,000 tons per month. It is
anticipated that the explosion will have an adverse impact on the U. S. Steel
Group's shipments, results of operations and cash flows in 1995, primarily in
the second and third quarters. USX maintains physical damage and business
interruption insurance coverage for events of this nature for certain steel
facilities subject to a $50 million deductible for recoverable items.
Steel market conditions were strong in the first quarter of 1995, and steel
consumption is expected to remain at high levels in 1995. In the near term,
there may be some softening in domestic purchases of sheet steel products due to
high customer inventory levels and reduced build schedules in the automotive
industry. There are some indications of a reduction in the domestic economic
growth registered in 1994. However, with improving world economies and the
weakened U. S. dollar, export markets for steel are strengthening, and the U. S.
Steel Group expects to increase exports this year over 1994.
Steel imports to the United States accounted for an estimated 25% of the
domestic steel market in the first two months of 1995, and 25%, 19% and 17% for
the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The domestic steel industry has,
in the past, been adversely affected by unfairly traded imports, and higher
levels of imported steel may ultimately have an adverse effect on product prices
and shipment levels.
On May 5, 1995, the United States District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah
issued its Opinion on the damage issues in litigation arising out of the sale
of USX's former Geneva (Utah) Works in 1987. For further information, see Note
8 to the U. S. Steel Group Financial Statements.
See Accounting Standard below for discussion of a new Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards which, upon adoption, may affect future U. S.
Steel Group operating results.
Cash Flows
- ----------
NET CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES was $174 million in the first
quarter of 1995, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $302
million in the same period of 1994. The first quarter of 1995 reflected
payments of $35 million to the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association Trust.
The first quarter of 1994 was negatively affected by payments of $360 million
related to the Lower Lake Erie Iron Ore Antitrust Litigation against the
Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad. Excluding these items, net cash from operating
activities increased by $151 million due mainly to increased profitability.
CASH FROM THE DISPOSAL OF ASSETS increased $25 million in the first quarter
of 1995 compared with the same quarter of 1994. The 1995 proceeds mainly
reflected
<PAGE> 41
U. S. STEEL GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
property sales by real estate development and management and USX Credit, a
division of USX.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS decreased $132 million in the first quarter of 1995
primarily reflecting the net effects of cash from operating and investing
activities. Financial obligations consist of the U. S. Steel Group's portion of
USX debt and preferred stock of a subsidiary attributed to all three groups, as
well as debt and financing agreements specifically attributed to the U. S. Steel
Group.
Hedging Activity
- ----------------
The U. S. Steel Group engages in hedging activities in the normal course
of its business. Commodity swaps are used to hedge exposure to price
fluctuations relevant to the purchase of natural gas. While hedging
activities are generally
used to reduce risks from unfavorable price movements, they also may limit the
opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. The U. S. Steel Group's
hedging activities have not been significant in relation to its overall
business activity. Based on risk assessment procedures and internal
controls in place, management believes that its use of hedging instruments
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity
or results of operations of the U. S. Steel Group.
Liquidity
- ---------
For discussion of USX's liquidity and capital resources, see USX
Consolidated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Capital Expenditures
- --------------------
The U. S. Steel Group's capital expenditures for property, plant and
equipment in the first quarter of 1995 were $56 million, compared with $44
million for the same period in 1994. The increase was primarily due to spending
on a degasser at Mon Valley Works and increased spending at Fairfield Works.
For the year 1995, capital expenditures were originally expected to total
approximately $300 million, compared with $248 million in 1994. The
expenditures for 1995 are now expected to increase to approximately $340
million
to incorporate certain spending related to the Gary Works' No. 8 blast furnace,
which will be relined during the outage. Capital expenditures for 1995 will
also include spending on a galvanizing line in the southern United States, as
well as continued spending on a degasser at Mon Valley Works and a granulated
coal injection facility at Fairfield Works' blast furnace, as originally
expected. Contract commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 1995 were
$181 million, compared with $125 million at year-end 1994.

U. S. STEEL GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Environmental Matters, Contingencies and Commitments
- ----------------------------------------------------
The U. S. Steel Group has incurred and will continue to incur substantial
capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of
environmental laws and regulations. To the extent these expenditures, as with
all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of the U. S. Steel Group's
products and services, operating results will be adversely affected. The U. S.
Steel Group believes that all of its domestic competitors are subject to similar
environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each
competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including the age and
location of its operating facilities and its production methods.
USX has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") at
27 waste sites related to the U. S. Steel Group under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as of March
31, 1995. In addition, there are 26 sites related to the U. S. Steel Group
where USX has received information requests or other indications that USX may be
a PRP under CERCLA but where sufficient information is not presently available
to confirm the existence of liability. There are also 44 additional sites
related to the U. S. Steel Group where remediation is being sought under other
environmental statutes, both federal and state. At many of these sites, USX is
one of a number of parties involved and the total cost of remediation, as well
as USX's share thereof, is frequently dependent upon the outcome of
investigations and remedial studies. The U. S. Steel Group accrues for
environmental remediation activities when the responsibility to remediate is
probable and the amount of associated costs is reasonably determinable. As
environmental remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as
additional remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously
accrued may be required.
USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the U. S. Steel Group
involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the
environment, certain of which are discussed in Note 8 to the U. S. Steel Group
Financial Statements. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could,
individually or in the aggregate, be material to the U. S. Steel Group
financial statements. However, management believes that USX will remain a
viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these
contingencies could be resolved unfavorably to the U. S. Steel Group.
See discussion of Financial Condition in USX Consolidated Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Accounting Standard
- -------------------
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"). This
standard must be adopted no later than the 1996 reporting year but can be
adopted early. SFAS No. 121 requires that operating assets and associated
goodwill be written down to fair value whenever an impairment review indicates
that the carrying value cannot be recovered on an undiscounted cash flow basis.
After any such noncash write-down,
<PAGE> 43

---------------------------------------------
results of operations would be favorably affected by reduced depreciation,
depletion and amortization charges. USX has initiated an extensive review of
SFAS No. 121 and, at this time, cannot provide an assessment of either the
impact or the timing of adoption, although it is possible that the U. S. Steel
Group could be required to recognize certain charges upon adoption.

(Unaudited)
1. The information furnished in these financial statements is unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These
financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in
accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. Additional information is contained in the USX Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which is effective for 1996. USX has not adopted SFAS No. 121. For
additional information, see Delhi Group Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
2. The financial statements of the Delhi Group include the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the businesses of Delhi Gas
Pipeline Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of USX, and a portion
of the corporate assets and liabilities and related transactions which are
not separately identified with ongoing operating units of USX. These
financial statements are prepared using amounts included in the USX
consolidated financial statements. Corporate amounts reflected in these
financial statements are determined based upon methods which management
believes to be reasonable. The accounting policies applicable to the
preparation of the financial statements of the Delhi Group may be modified
or rescinded in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of USX
(Board), although the Board has no present intention to do so. The Board
may also adopt additional policies depending on the circumstances.
The Board has designated 14,003,205 shares of USX-Delhi Group Common Stock
(Delhi Stock) to represent 100% of the common stockholders' equity value of
USX attributable to the Delhi Group as of March 31, 1995. The Delhi
Fraction is the percentage interest in the Delhi Group represented by the
shares of Delhi Stock that are outstanding at any particular time and,
based on 9,438,391 outstanding shares at March 31, 1995, is approximately
67%. The Marathon Group financial statements reflect a Retained Interest
in the Delhi Group of approximately 33% at March 31, 1995. The Retained
Interest is subject to reduction as shares of Delhi Stock attributed to the
Retained Interest are sold.
Although the financial statements of the Delhi Group, the Marathon Group
and the U. S. Steel Group separately report the assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity of USX
attributed to each such group, such attribution of assets, liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and stockholders' equity among the Delhi
Group, the Marathon Group and the U. S. Steel Group for the purpose of
preparing their respective financial statements does not affect legal title
to such assets and responsibility for such liabilities. Holders of Delhi
Stock, USX-Marathon Group Common Stock (Marathon Stock) and USX-U. S. Steel
Group Common Stock (Steel Stock) are holders of common stock of USX, and
continue to be subject to all the risks associated with an investment in
USX and all of its
<PAGE> 49

2. (Continued)
businesses and liabilities. Financial impacts arising from one Group that
affect the overall cost of USX's capital could affect the results of
operations and financial condition of other groups. In addition, net
losses of any Group, as well as dividends and distributions on any class of
USX common stock or series of Preferred Stock and repurchases of any class
of USX common stock or series of Preferred Stock at prices in excess of par
or stated value, will reduce the funds of USX legally available for payment
of dividends on all classes of common stock. Accordingly, the USX
consolidated financial information should be read in connection with the
Delhi Group financial information.
3. The method of calculating net income (loss) per share for the Delhi Stock,
Marathon Stock, and Steel Stock reflects the Board's intent that the
separately reported earnings and surplus of the Delhi Group, the Marathon
Group and the U. S. Steel Group, as determined consistent with the USX
Certificate of Incorporation, are available for payment of dividends to the
respective classes of stock, although legally available funds and
liquidation preferences of these classes of stock do not necessarily
correspond with these amounts.
Primary net income per share is calculated by adjusting net income for
dividend requirements of preferred stock and income applicable to the
Retained Interest and is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents, provided they are not
antidilutive. Common stock equivalents result from assumed exercise of
stock options and surrender of stock appreciation rights associated with
stock options, where applicable.
Fully diluted net income per share assumes exercise of stock options and
surrender of stock appreciation rights, provided, in each case, the effect
is not antidilutive.
4. Inventories are carried at lower of average cost or market.

5. The financial statement provision for estimated income taxes and related
tax payments or refunds have been reflected in the Delhi Group, the
Marathon Group and the U. S. Steel Group financial statements in accordance
with USX's tax allocation policy for such groups. In general, such policy
provides that the consolidated tax provision and related tax payments or
refunds are allocated among the Delhi Group, the Marathon Group and the U.
S. Steel Group for group financial statement purposes, based principally
upon the financial income, taxable income, credits, preferences and other
amounts directly related to the respective groups.
The provision for estimated U.S. income taxes for the Delhi Group is based
on tax rates and amounts which recognize management's best estimate of
current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences between the
combined interim tax provisions of the Delhi, the Marathon and the U. S.
Steel Groups and USX consolidated are allocated to each group based on the
relationship of the individual group provisions to the combined interim
provisions.
6. Certain of the Delhi Group accounts receivable are sold in combination with
the Marathon Group accounts receivable under a limited recourse agreement.
Payments are collected from the sold accounts receivable; the collections
are reinvested in new accounts receivable for the buyers; and a yield,
based on short-term market rates, is transferred to the buyers. At March
31, 1995, the balance of the Delhi Group's sold accounts receivable that
had not been collected was $74.3 million. In the event of a change in
control of USX, as defined in the agreement, the Delhi Group may be
required to forward payments collected on sold Delhi Group accounts
receivable to the buyers.
7. USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the Delhi Group
involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to
the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The
ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the
aggregate, be material to the Delhi Group financial statements. However,
management believes that USX will remain a viable and competitive
enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be
resolved unfavorably to the Delhi Group. See discussion of Liquidity and
Capital Resources in USX Consolidated Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Delhi Group is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of
pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to
undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be
imposed for noncompliance. Expenditures for remediation and penalties have
not been material.
For a number of years, the Delhi Group has made capital expenditures to
bring existing facilities into compliance with various laws relating to the
environment. In the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, such capital
expenditures totaled approximately $.9 million and $.7 million,
respectively. The Delhi Group anticipates making additional such
expenditures in the future; however, the exact amounts and timing of such
expenditures are uncertain because of the continuing evolution of specific
regulatory requirements.

The 11% decrease from last year's first quarter primarily reflected lower
average prices for natural gas, partially offset by increased trading volumes.
OPERATING INCOME of $9.1 million was recorded in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with $2.5 million in the first quarter of 1994. First quarter 1994
operating income included a $1.6 million favorable effect of the settlement of
litigation related to a prior-year take-or-pay claim. Excluding the effect of
this item, first quarter 1995 operating income increased by $8.2 million from
the prior-year quarter, mainly due to improved gas processing operations and a
decrease in total operating costs, excluding gas purchase costs, partially
offset by a lower gas sales margin. The reduction in operating costs primarily
reflected the benefits of the asset disposition plan and work force reduction
program initiated in the second quarter of 1994.
The Delhi Group attempts to sell all of the natural gas available on its
systems each month. Natural gas volumes not sold to its premium markets are
typically sold in the short-term interruptible ("spot") market, generally at
lower average unit margins than those realized from premium sales. Excluding
the above mentioned $1.6 million favorable effect of a litigation settlement
recorded in the first quarter of 1994, first quarter 1995 gas sales margin
decreased 11% from last year's first quarter due mainly to the effects of warmer
weather in the Delhi Group's primary marketing areas of Texas and Oklahoma, and
reduced premiums from Southwestern Electric Power Company as a result of the
renegotiation of a gas purchase agreement in last year's first quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
First quarter 1995 transportation throughput declined by 6% from the prior-
year quarter of 1994 primarily due to the sale of properties included in the
1994 asset disposition plan, partially offset by additions to transportation
volumes.
Natural gas volumes from trading sales totaled 207.6 million cubic feet per
day ("mmcfd") in the first quarter of 1995, compared with 29.1 mmcfd in the
first quarter of 1994. The trading business, which began in last year's first
quarter, involves the purchase of natural gas from sources other than wells
directly connected to the Delhi Group's systems and the subsequent sale of like
volumes. Unit margins earned in the trading business are usually significantly
less than those earned on system sales.
The Delhi Group monitors the economics of removing natural gas liquids
("NGLs") from the gas stream for processing on an ongoing basis to determine the
appropriate level of each gas plant's operation. Due to favorable economics,
the gas processing margin in the first quarter of 1995 was significantly higher
than in the comparable 1994 period, resulting in a 29% increase in NGLs sales
volumes.
INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL COSTS were $3.3 million in the first quarter
of 1995, compared with $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1994. The increase
mainly reflected higher expenses associated with sold accounts receivable, as
the yield paid to the buyer increased with market interest rates.
NET INCOME of $4.2 million, or $.30 per share, was recorded in the first
quarter of 1995, compared with $0.4 million, or $.03 per share, in the first
quarter of 1994. The improvement in net income primarily reflects the factors
discussed above.
Outlook
- -------
On April 28, 1995, the Delhi Group sold its 25% interest in Ozark Gas
Transmission System ("Ozark"), an interstate pipeline providing transportation
services in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. The Delhi Group's
partnership interest in Ozark was included in the 1994 asset disposition plan.
With completion of the Ozark sale, virtually all of the assets targeted for
disposition in the 1994 plan have been sold. Actual proceeds from the sales of
all assets exceeded estimated net realizable values. In the second quarter of
1995, an adjustment will be recorded to operating income and other income
resulting in a favorable estimated aftertax effect of $4.5 million to $5.5
million.
The Delhi Group's operating results are affected by fluctuations in natural
gas prices and demand levels in the markets that it serves. The levels of gas
sales margin are greatly influenced by the demand for premium services,
competition in attracting new premium customers and the volatility of natural
gas prices. Because the strongest demand for gas and the highest gas sales unit
margins generally occur during the winter heating season, the Delhi Group has
historically recognized the greatest portion of income from its gas sales
business during the first and fourth quarters of the year. Quarterly levels of
gas sales margin are difficult to accurately project. However, relative to the
comparable 1994 periods, gas sales

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

---------------------------------------------
margin in the second and third quarters of 1995 could be unfavorably affected by
the expiration in August 1994 of the Delhi Group's premium service contract with
Central Power and Light Company, a utility electric generator serving south
Texas.
The levels of gas processing margin for future periods are also difficult
to project, due to fluctuations in the price and demand for NGLs and the
volatility of natural gas prices (feedstock costs). However, management can
reduce the volume of NGLs extracted and sold during periods of unfavorable
economics by curtailing the extraction of certain NGLs.
See Accounting Standard below for discussion of a new Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards which, upon adoption, may affect future Delhi
Group operating results.
Cash Flows
- ----------
NET CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES was $24.3 million in the first
quarter of 1995, compared with $23.9 million for the first quarter of 1994.
CASH FROM DISPOSAL OF ASSETS was $4.4 million in the first quarter of 1995,
an increase of $3.7 million from the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting
the sale of non-strategic properties in Arkansas and Oklahoma which were
included in the 1994 asset disposition plan.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS decreased by $22 million in the first quarter of
1995, mainly resulting from the Delhi Group's net cash provided from operating
activities and disposal of assets, partially offset by net cash used in
investing activities. Financial obligations consist of the Delhi Group's
portion of USX debt and preferred stock of a subsidiary attributed to all three
groups.
Hedging Activity
- ----------------
The Delhi Group engages in commodity hedging activities in the normal
course of its businesses. Futures contracts and options are used to hedge
exposure to price fluctuations relevant to the purchase or sale of natural gas.
While hedging activities are generally used to reduce risks from unfavorable
price movements, they may also limit the opportunity to benefit from favorable
movements. Based on risk assessment procedures and internal controls in place,
management believes that its use of hedging instruments will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Delhi Group.

Consolidated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Capital Expenditures
- --------------------
The Delhi Group's capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment
totaled $5.6 million in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $4.9 million in
the first quarter of 1994.

DELHI GROUP OF USX CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
In April 1995, the Delhi Group acquired a treating facility and associated
gathering system in south Texas. In conjunction with the acquisition, gathering
and treating services for certain lease holdings were dedicated to the Group for
a term of 10 years. These assets, when integrated with existing gathering
system assets in south Texas, will increase the Delhi Group's flexibility in
handling new production from area fields.
Capital expenditures in 1995 are expected to be in the range of $35 million
to $45 million, exceeding the $32.1 million expended in 1994. During 1995, the
Delhi Group will primarily focus on expenditures to add new dedicated gas
reserves, expand existing facilities and acquire new facilities as opportunities
arise.
Environmental Matters, Contingencies and Commitments
- ----------------------------------------------------
The Delhi Group has incurred and will continue to incur capital and
operating and maintenance expenditures as a result of environmental laws and
regulations. To the extent these expenditures, as with all costs, are not
ultimately reflected in the prices of the Delhi Group's products and services,
operating results will be adversely affected. The Delhi Group believes that
substantially all of its competitors are subject to similar environmental laws
and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary
depending on a number of factors, including the age and location of its
operating facilities and its production processes.
USX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened
legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the Delhi Group
involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the
environment. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually
or in the aggregate, be material to the Delhi Group financial statements.
However, management believes that USX will remain a viable and competitive
enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be resolved
unfavorably to the Delhi Group. See discussion of Financial Condition in
USX Consolidated Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
Accounting Standard
- -------------------
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"). This
standard must be adopted no later than the 1996 reporting year but can be
adopted early. SFAS No. 121 requires that operating assets and associated
goodwill be written down to fair value whenever an impairment review indicates
that the carrying value cannot be recovered on an undiscounted cash flow basis.
After any such noncash write-down, results of operations would be favorably
affected by reduced depreciation, depletion and amortization charges. USX has
initiated an extensive review of SFAS No. 121 and, at this time, cannot provide
an assessment of either the impact or the timing of adoption, although it is
possible that the Delhi Group could be required to recognize certain charges
upon adoption.

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
USX-U. S. Steel Group
(a) Pickering Litigation
In 1992, the United States District Court for the District of Utah
Central Division issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order in Pickering
v. USX relating to pension and compensation claims by approximately
1,900 employees of USX's former Geneva (Utah) Works. Although the
Court dismissed a number of the claims by the plaintiffs, it found
that USX had violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
by interfering with the accrual of pension benefits of certain
employees and amending a benefit plan to reduce the accrual of
future benefits without proper notice to plan participants.
Plaintiffs' counsel has been reported as estimating plaintiffs'
anticipated recovery to be in excess of $100 million. Further
proceedings were held in 1993 to determine damages for a sample
group. In 1994, USX entered into settlement agreements with 227
plaintiffs providing for releases of liability against USX and the
aggregate payment of approximately $1 million by USX. On May 5,
1995, the Court issued its Opinion on the damage issues concerning
the claims of the sample group of 23 plaintiffs. In its Opinion,
the Court appears to have rejected some of the arguments made by
USX during the damage phase of the trial as well as some of the
arguments put forth by the plaintiffs. USX currently is studying
the impact of this lengthy decision but, if upheld and applied to
all remaining cases, the decision could have an adverse impact on
U. S. Steel Group's results of operations. The damage
decision, together with the Court's earlier Opinion on liability
issues, will most likely be subject to an appeal to the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit prior to any disposition of the
remaining cases.
