                        Report of Independent Accountants

September 14, 1999


To the Participants and Plan Administrator
of the Protein Technologies International
Savings Investment Plan



In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits with fund information of the
Protein Technologies International Savings Investment Plan (the "Plan") at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
with fund information for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the month ended
December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; 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
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statements of 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 benefits of each fund. These supplemental
schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedules and 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       Description of the Plan

         The following description of the Protein Technologies International
         (the "Company") Savings Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only
         general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
         for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

         General
         The Plan is a defined-contribution plan covering all domestic regular
         full-time and part-time sales, administrative and clerical employees,
         production, and maintenance employees of the Company. Participants may
         contribute to the Plan upon enrollment; however, one year of covered
         service is required in order to receive Company matching contributions
         (see "Contributions" below). The Plan is subject to the provisions of
         the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         This Plan was established pursuant to Ralston Purina's ("Ralston") sale
         of Protein Technologies International to E.I. du Pont de Nemours and
         Company ("DuPont"). Protein Technologies employees who were previously
         participants in the Ralston Purina Savings Investment Plan were given
         the option to transfer their Ralston account balances into the Protein
         Technologies Plan. Most employees elected to make this transfer in the
         first quarter of 1998.

         Contributions
         Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pre-tax annual
         compensation, subject to certain limits imposed by the Internal Revenue
         Service (IRS), and the Plan terms. Basic contributions not exceeding 6%
         of the participant's compensation are matched 100% by the Company after
         one year of covered service.

         Vesting
         Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
         earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching contribution
         portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon occurs upon the
         participant's completion of five years of credited service.

         Plan withdrawals
         Plan withdrawals of before-tax contributions may be made prior to
         termination or retirement for cases of financial hardship or at the age
         of 59 1/2 . Hardship distributions are limited to the amount required
         to meet the need created by the hardship and are made at the discretion
         of the Plan administrator (see "Plan administration" below). After-tax
         contributions and earnings thereon may be withdrawn at any time.

         Investment options
         During the Plan year ended December 31, 1997, participants were able to
         allocate their contributions among the following investment options:

         Vanguard Explorer Fund: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital
         by investing in a diversified group of small-company stocks with
         prospects for above-average growth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Vanguard 500 Index Fund: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital
          and income from dividends by holding all of the 500 stocks that make
          up the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a
          widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance.

          Vanguard International Growth Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term
          growth of capital by investing in stocks of high-quality, seasoned
          companies based outside the United States. Stocks are selected from
          more than 15 countries.

          Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund: Seeks to provide high income and a
          stable share price of $1 by investing in short-term securities that
          are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or by
          an agency of the government.

          Vanguard Wellington Fund: Seeks to provide income and long-term growth
          of capital without undue risk to capital by investing about 65% of its
          assets in stocks and the remaining 35% in bonds.

          Vanguard Windsor II Fund: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital
          and income from dividends by investing in a diversified group of
          out-of-favor stocks of large-capitalization companies. The stocks
          generally sell at prices below the overall market average compared to
          their dividend income and future return potential.

          During the Plan year ended December 31, 1998, the following investment
          funds were added as investment options:

          Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust: Seeks stability of principal and a
          high level of current income consistent with a two-to-three year
          average maturity. The trust is a tax-exempt collective trust invested
          primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance companies and
          commercial banks, and similar types of fixed-principal investments.
          The trust intends to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per
          share.

          DuPont Stock Fund: Seeks to provide the potential for long-term growth
          through increases in the value of its stock and reinvestment of its
          dividends.

          Participant loans
          Participants may borrow from their fund accounts subject to the
          provisions of the Plan. Loans are limited to the lesser of $50,000 or
          50% of the vested amount in the participant's account, reduced by
          other outstanding participant loan balances on the date of the loan.
          The minimum loan amount is $1,000. Participants pay interest on such
          loans, at a fixed rate of 1 percentage point above the prime rate on
          the date of the loan. Participant loans can be short or long-term, up
          to a maximum loan period of 5 years for general purpose loans and 10
          years for the purpose of a principal residence. Loan repayments are
          made through payroll deduction each pay period. A promissory note in
          the amount of the loan must be delivered to the Trustee, and, in the
          event of the participant's termination, the unpaid balance and accrued
          interest become due immediately and payable in full.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         Forfeitures
         Upon the participant's termination of employment, any Company matching
         contributions and the earnings thereon which are not vested will be
         forfeited, but will be restored and eligible for additional vesting if
         the participant again becomes an eligible employee within five years
         after termination and completes the required years of service.
         Forfeitures, net of amounts restored, are used to reduce future Company
         contributions required under the Plan. Forfeitures were $11,755 and $0
         for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the month ended December 31,
         1997, respectively.

         Plan administration
         The Plan is administered by the Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
         Company is Trustee of the assets of the Plan. As Trustee, Vanguard has
         the authority to hold, manage and protect the assets of the Plan in
         accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the trust agreements.

         Plan termination
         The Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, terminate the
         Plan with respect to all participating companies. In case of such
         termination, participants shall be fully vested in Company matching
         contributions credited to their accounts and, subject to Plan
         provisions and applicable law, the total amount in each participant's
         account shall be distributed to the participant or for the
         participant's benefit.

2.       Summary of significant accounting policies

         Basis of accounting
         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual
         basis of accounting.

         Use of estimates
         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
         liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Investment valuation and income recognition
         The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered
         investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which
         represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.
         Units of the Retirement Savings Trust are valued at net asset value at
         year end. The DuPont Stock Fund is valued at its year-end unit closing
         price (comprised of year-end market price plus uninvested cash
         position). Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates
         fair value.

         Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.
         Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are
         recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are
         included in dividend income.

         Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
         rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
         certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
         changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
         reasonably possible that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         changes in risks in the near term could materially affect the amounts
         reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

         Benefit payments
         Benefits are recorded when paid.

3.       Related party transactions

         DuPont, as the parent company of Protein Technologies International,
         the Plan's sponsor, is a related party to the Plan. At December 31,
         1998, the Plan held shares of DuPont common stock with a market value
         of $1,938,183.

         Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, as Trustee of the Plan's assets, is a
         party-in-interest as defined by ERISA. For Plan assets managed by
         Vanguard, the Plan held $33,118,581 and $362,296 of investment funds
         and short-term investments at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

4.       Income tax status

         The Plan has requested, but has not received a determination letter
         from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Plan is a
         qualified employee benefit plan. The Plan administrator and the Plan's
         tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being
         operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal
         Revenue Code.
