REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. and
the Employee Benefit Plans Board of Conoco Inc.
In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. (the "Plan") at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for Plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan Administrator; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the Plan Administrator, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included
in Schedules I and II is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is additional information required by ERISA. The Fund Information in the
statements of the net assets available for benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
Schedules I and II and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES
OF
CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE THRIFT PLAN:
The following description of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco
Inc. (the "Plan") provides only general information. Members should refer to the
Plan document for the Plan's provisions.
THE PLAN
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which was established in 1952
by Conoco Inc. (the "Company"), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of E. I.
du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) in 1981. After the sale of the Company's
Class A Common Stock representing approximately 30% of the total Conoco shares
outstanding through an Initial Public Offering commencing on October 21, 1998,
DuPont retained 100% of the Company's Class B Common Stock representing
approximately 70% of the total shares in, and approximately 92% of the total
voting power of Conoco. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock generally have identical rights, except that the holders of Class A Common
Stock are entitled to one vote per share while holders of Class B Common Stock
are entitled to five votes per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees to save
systematically a portion of their current compensation and to assist them to
accumulate additional financial means for the time of their retirement. The Plan
is a tax-qualified, contributory profit sharing plan. Employees of the Company,
including employees of Affiliated Companies that have adopted the Plan, who have
previously met the eligibility requirements of the Plan or who have completed a
designated period of 12 consecutive months during which they complete 1,000
hours or more of service; who are regular, full time employees and have
completed at least one year of continuous service, who are eligible to
participate in a qualified profit-sharing plan of an Affiliated Company from
which they were transferred, or became, prior to January 1, 1993, and remained
members of the Retirement Plan of Conoco Inc. (now the Pension and Retirement
Plan of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (Title 2)); are eligible to
participate in the Plan.
An eligible Participant may authorize the Company to make a payroll
deduction under the Plan ranging from 1% to 19% of monthly compensation. The
amount deducted can be deposited into a before-tax or after-tax account or some
combination thereof. Participants' monthly deductions up to 6% are called Basic
Deposits. The Company will contribute an amount equal to 100% of the
Participant's monthly Basic Deposits. Subject to certain limitations, certain
Participants are eligible to make Supplemental Deposits, either as
<PAGE> 30
PAGE 30
THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES
OF
CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Dollars in Thousands)
lump sum deposits or deposits in the form of monthly deductions in excess of 19%
of monthly compensation. Due to the discrimination rules of the Internal Revenue
Code, only "Non-highly Compensated" Participants are currently able to make lump
sum Supplemental Deposits.
A Participant with less than five years of participation credit or
service who withdraws any matched before-tax or after-tax deposits will forfeit
a portion of related Company Contributions in accordance with the specific Plan
provisions. Company Contributions will be suspended for six months if a
Participant makes an in-service withdrawal of any earnings in the before-tax or
after-tax accounts, or Basic Deposits or Company Contributions contributed
during the last 24 months. Employee deposits and matching Company Contributions
will be suspended for up to 12 months if a Participant withdraws any before-tax
contribution prior to age 59-1/2. In certain circumstances such a withdrawal may
also preclude a Participant from making any before-tax contributions in the year
following the withdrawal.
Any vested Participant who separates from service, including one who
retires, may elect to make a full account withdrawal at any time. Required
minimum distributions commence in March following the year in which a former
Participant reaches age 70-1/2.
Participants may borrow up to one-half of their nonforfeitable account
balance subject to certain minimum and maximum loan limitations. The loans are
executed by promissory notes and have a minimum term of 12 months and a maximum
term of 60 months, except for qualified residential loans that have a maximum
term of 120 months. The loans bear an interest rate equal to the average rate
charged by selected major banks to prime customers for secured loans. The loans
are repaid over the term in monthly installments of principal and interest by
payroll deduction. A Participant also has the right to repay the loan in full at
any time without penalty.
INVESTMENT FUNDS
The following investment funds have been established for the investment
of Employee Deposits and Company Contributions. Effective October 26, 1998,
Conoco Class A common stock was added as an investment option to the Plan. The
investment options offered are described below:

(Dollars in Thousands)
The Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive Asset Allocation Portfolios
are composed of other investment options which are available in the Plan. All
three asset allocation portfolios have as their components the Fixed Income

Participants may allocate their Employee Deposits and Company
Contributions among all funds at their discretion and may reallocate the amounts
in their accounts among all funds at their discretion. Members may reallocate
the amounts in their accounts among all funds, except the Loan Fund, at their
discretion.
Affiliated Company transfers in(out) represent the net movement of
Participant account balances among the Plan and other defined contribution
benefit plans of Affiliated Companies.
ADMINISTRATION
The designated trustee of all the aforementioned funds is Merrill Lynch
Trust Company of America (Merrill Lynch). The administration of the Plan is
vested in the Employee Benefit Plans Board. The Board of Directors of Conoco
Inc. or its delegate may designate three or more persons to serve on the
Employee Benefit Plans Board, which has the authority to prescribe regulations
for the administration of the Plan, review all claims for benefits under the
Plan and enter into agreements with one or more entities, including, but not
limited to insurance companies, banks, and other investment organizations, to
provide a stable rate of return to the Fixed Income Fund.
Brokerage fees, transfer taxes, investment fees and other expenses
incident to the purchase and sale of securities and investments in the Fixed
Income Fund, DuPont Common Stock Fund, Conoco Class A Common Stock Fund, Merrill
Lynch Mutual and Index Funds, Asset Allocation Portfolios, and Mutual Funds
shall be included in the cost of such securities or investments, or deducted
from the sales proceeds, as the case may be. All administrative expenses not
specified in the preceding sentence shall be paid out of rebates of record
keeping costs and other discounts in connection with investment vehicles
available in the Plan. If such assets or other discounts are paid to the Plan,
any excess remaining after the reasonable administration expenses of the Plan
have been paid shall be allocated to the accounts of all Participants in the
Plan who have an Employee Account balance greater than zero on an allocation
date
<PAGE> 34

designated by the Plan Administrator. The balance of any administrative expenses
not paid as described above, shall be paid ratably by the Company and its
Affiliated Companies participating in the Plan.
While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan,
it is free to do so at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, all
Participants become vested and the distribution of all account balances will be
made based upon the valuation of the Participant's account on the termination
date.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables are comprised of Employee Deposits of $3,165 and $2,905,
Company Contributions of $2,147 and $1,997, and loan repayments of $1,163 and
$1,128, which are amounts due as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for the
Fixed Income Fund, which is stated at contract value. The Fixed Income Fund
guaranteed investment contracts, separate account guaranteed investment
contracts and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit
responsive and thus, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, using the
contracted interest rates applied to the daily account balances. Mutual Funds
are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of shares
held by the Plan at year-end. Common/Collective Trust Funds are stated at the
fair value of all underlying assets as reported by the applicable custodian.
Loans to Participants, short-term investments, and cash are valued at cost that
approximates fair value. DuPont common stock and Conoco Class A Common Stock are
valued at their quoted market prices at year-end.
The purchase of shares of DuPont common stock may be made in the open
market or from DuPont if it shall have made treasury or authorized but unissued
shares available for such purchases, in which event the purchase price shall be
the closing price of such stock as reported on the New York
<PAGE> 35
PAGE 35
THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES
OF
CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Dollars in Thousands)
Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions on the last day preceding the date of
such purchase from DuPont.
The purchase of shares of Conoco Class A Common Stock may be made in
the open market or from the Company if it shall have made treasury or authorized
but unissued shares available for such purchases, in which event the purchase
price shall be the closing price of such stock as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange - Composite Transactions on the last day preceding the date of such
purchase from Conoco.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income
is recorded when earned. Realized gains and losses on the sale of the DuPont
Common Stock Fund and Conoco Class A Common Stock Fund investment securities are
based on average cost of the securities sold for each fund respectively.
Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS
The Fixed Income Fund option provided by the Plan is also available to
Participants in the Investment Plan for Salaried Employees of Consol Inc. (the
"Consol Plan"), administered by Consol Inc., a corporate joint venture owned
equally by DuPont and subsidiaries of RWE AG of Germany, and Sentinel
Transportation Company Thrift Plan (the "Sentinel Plan") administered by
Sentinel Transportation company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dupont.
Accordingly, the investments in these funds by Participants in the Plan and
Consol and Sentinel Plans have been commingled for investment purposes; however,
the three Plans' assets are accounted for separately by the trustee.
The Fixed Income Fund consists of guaranteed investment contracts
(GICs), separate account GICs (SAGICs), and synthetic guaranteed investment
contracts (SYNs).
The following individual contracts represent more than 5% of the net
assets available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1998 and 1997:
Deutsche Bank - 7.03%, No Maturity Date (SYN)
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. - 7.36%, No Maturity Date (SAGIC)
Prudential Insurance Co. - 8.55%, 7/01/2001 (SAGIC)

</TABLE>
The crediting interest rates ranged from 5.78% to 9.96% and 5.74% to
9.96% for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The fund's
blended rate of return for the year was 7.47% in 1998 and 7.62% in 1997.
The crediting rates for most SAGIC and SYN contracts are reset annually
and are based on the market value of the underlying portfolio of assets backing
these contracts. Inputs used to determine the crediting rate include each
contract's portfolio market value, current yield-to-maturity, duration (i.e.,
the present value of the weighted average life), and market value relative to
contract value. All contracts have a guaranteed rate of 0% or higher.
The contract values, which approximate the fair value, of investment
contracts as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

NOTE 4 - NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Plan Benefits the net appreciation(depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
a letter dated August 7, 1995 that the Plan is qualified and the trust
established under the Plan is tax-exempt, under the appropriate sections of the
Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan
is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code.

December 31 but not yet paid as of that date.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by the
Trustee. Therefore, transactions in these investments qualify as
party-in-interest transactions that are exempt from the prohibited transaction
rules.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective January 1, 1999 the Plan provides for immediate participation
for any regular full-time employee or any regular part-time employee.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Fixed Income Fund shall be renamed to
the Stable Value Fund. Effective April 1, 1999, the assets of the Stable Value
Fund were split due to DuPont's sale of the majority of its remaining interest
in Consol Energy Incorporated. A separate portfolio, comprised of the same
stable value investments that were held in the former Conoco/Consol/Sentinel
Stable Value Fund, was established for the Conoco Stable Value Fund.

CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Dollars in Thousands)
Effective January 1, 1999 a separate savings plan ("the Retail Thrift
Plan") was created for Conoco retail employees that provides for immediate
eligibility upon regular, full-time employment and a seventy five dollar
semi-annual Company contribution not dependent upon employee contributions in
addition to the 6% Company match. Retail employees eligible to participate in
the Retail Thrift Plan are not eligible to participate in the Thrift Plan and
the Thrift Plan accounts of Retail employees were transferred to the Retail
Thrift Plan effective January 14, 1999 totaling $2,474.
Effective March 1, 1999 the Conoco Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("CESOP") began transferring assets out of CESOP to other receiving plans in
order to terminate later in the year. The CESOP assets were in the form of
DuPont common stock. As a result of transfers, the Plan received 1,782,000
shares of DuPont common stock and $4,671 cash. The cash was for partial shares
of DuPont common stock and was invested as the Participants directed.
On March 22, 1999, Conoco filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") outlining a "split-off" plan to
establish Conoco as a fully independent company. The tax-free split-off will be
achieved through an exchange offer in which DuPont stockholders will be given an
opportunity to exchange DuPont common stock for shares of Conoco Class B Common
Stock currently held by DuPont. Following a review by the SEC, and depending on
market conditions, the split-off is expected to be completed third quarter of
1999. After the split-off, no purchases of DuPont Common Stock or Conoco Class A
Common Stock will be made with either fund transfers, future deposits,
contributions or income, including dividends. However, Participants will be able
to purchase Conoco Class B Common Stock.
