INTRODUCTION
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. ("FTX" or the "Company"(*)), a Delaware corporation
formed in 1981, is a leading and diversified natural resource company
currently engaged in the exploration for and mining, production and/or
processing of copper, gold, silver, sulphur, phosphate rock, phosphate-based
fertilizers, uranium, oil and natural gas, and other natural
resources. FTX engages in such activities primarily through the following
entities: Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. ("FCX"), a Delaware
Corporation in which FTX owns an approximate 69.77% interest;
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership ("FRP"), a Delaware
limited partnership in which the Company owns an approximate 51.31%
interest; and Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas Company ("FMOG"), a division of
FTX. The Company's reportable industry segments for 1993 are metals,
including copper, gold and silver (FCX); agricultural minerals, including
sulphur, phosphate fertilizers and phosphate rock (FRP); and energy,
including oil and natural gas (FMOG and FRP). For information with respect
to industry segments, including foreign operations, export sales and major
customers, see Note 10 to the financial statements of FTX and its
consolidated subsidiaries referred to on page F-1 hereof (the "FTX
Financial Statements").
- --------------------
(*)The term "Company", as used in this report, shall include FTX, its
divisions, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, or any
one or more of them, unless the context requires FTX only.
METALS
The Company's metals segment is conducted by FCX. The principal
operating subsidiary of FCX is P.T. Freeport Indonesia Company ("PT-FI"),
a limited liability company organized under the laws of Indonesia and
domesticated in Delaware. PT-FI engages in the exploration for and
development, mining, and processing of copper, gold and silver in Indonesia
and in the marketing of concentrates containing such metals worldwide. FCX
believes that PT-FI has one of the lowest cost copper producing operations
in the world, taking into account customary credits for related gold and
silver production. FCX owns approximately 81.28% of the outstanding common
stock of PT-FI. Of the remaining 18.72% of the outstanding PT-FI common
stock, approximately 9.36% is owned by the Government of the Republic of
Indonesia (the "Government") and approximately 9.36% is owned by an
Indonesian corporation, P.T. Indocopper Investama Corporation, in which
FCX owns a 49% interest. FCX also has a subsidiary, Eastern Mining
Company, Inc., ("Eastern Mining") which in April 1993 was granted an
exploration permit, giving it exclusive rights for a limited period to
explore for minerals on 2.5 million acres adjacent to the 6.5 million acre
exploration area covered by PT-FI's Contract of Work. In March 1993, FCX
acquired a 65% interest in the capital stock of Rio Tinto Minera, S.A.
("RTM"), a company primarily engaged in the smelting and refining of copper
concentrates in Spain. In December 1993, RTM redeemed the remaining 35%
interest. For further information with respect to the business and
properties of FCX, PT-FI, and RTM, reference is made to the discussion in
the FCX Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993,
under the heading "Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties.", on
pages 1 through 12, inclusive, incorporated herein by reference.
As of March 15, 1994, there were issued and outstanding 63,803,313
shares of Class A Common Stock of which 1,547,700 shares were held by FTX
and 142,129,602 shares of Class B Common Stock, all of which were held by
FTX. FCX also has outstanding (i) 8,976,000 depositary shares owned by
public investors, each of which represents 2-16/17 shares of 7%
Convertible Exchangeable Special Preference Stock; (ii) 14,000,000
depositary shares owned by public investors, each of which represents 0.05
shares of Step-Up Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) 6,000,000 depositary
shares owned by public investors, each of which represents 0.05 shares of
Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock; and (iv) 4,305,580 depositary shares
owned by public investors, each of which represents 0.05 shares of its
Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, Series II. FCX's Class A Common Stock
and Depositary Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
PT-FI's operations are located in the rugged highlands of the
Sudirman Mountain Range in the province of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, located
on the western half of the island of New Guinea. Over the last 25 years,
PT-FI has met an extraordinary combination of engineering and construction
challenges to develop its mining and milling complex and supporting
infrastructure in one of the least explored areas in the world. PT-FI's
largest mine, Grasberg, discovered in 1988, contains the largest single
gold reserve and one of the three largest open-pit copper reserves of any
mine in the world. In order to develop the Grasberg deposit, PT-FI
undertook an expansion program in stages, initially from 20,000 metric
tons of ore per day ("MTPD") to 57,000 MTPD. Expansion from 57,000 MTPD
to 66,000 MTPD was completed in 1993 ahead of schedule and within budget.
PT-FI has begun work on a further expansion of its overall mining and
milling rate to 115,000 MTPD which is expected to be completed by year-end
1995 and to result in annual production rates approaching 1.1 billion
pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold.
PT-FI's proved and probable ore reserves at December 31, 1993, were
26.8 billion recoverable pounds of copper, 39.1 million recoverable ounces
of gold and 76.7 million recoverable ounces of silver. For further
information concerning FCX's reserves of copper, gold and silver, and
production, sales and average realized price information, see Note 11 to
the FTX Financial Statements.
AGRICULTURAL MINERALS
The Company's agricultural minerals segment is conducted through FRP
and consists of the production, distribution and sale of phosphate
fertilizers, the mining and sale of phosphate rock and the extraction of
uranium oxide from phosphoric acid through its interest in IMC-Agrico
Company, a Delaware General Partnership ("IMC-Agrico"); and the exploration
for and mining, transportation and sale of sulphur. For further
information with respect to the businesses and properties of FRP, reference
is made to the discussion in the FRP Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993 (the "1993 FRP Form 10-K"), under the heading
"Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties.", on pages 1 through 13,
inclusive, incorporated herein by reference.
As the Administrative Managing General Partner of FRP, FTX exercises
all management powers over the business and affairs of FRP. FTX also
furnishes general executive, administrative, financial, accounting, legal,
environmental, tax, research and development, sales and certain other
services to FRP and is reimbursed by FRP for all direct and indirect costs
in connection therewith. As of March 10, 1994, FTX owned general and
limited partnership interests that constituted an approximate 51.31%
interest in FRP, with the remaining interest being publicly owned and
traded on the NYSE. The public unitholders are entitled, through the cash
distribution for the fourth quarter of 1996, to receive minimum quarterly
distributions prior to any distribution on the partnership units held by
FTX and FMRP Inc., a Managing General Partner and Special General Partner.
Prior to the completion of Main Pass Block 299 ("Main Pass"), FRP pursued
a policy of funding the cash distribution to unitholders from asset sales
and borrowings, in addition to distributable cash from operations.
However, with the completion of the Main Pass development, FRP no longer
intends to supplement distributable cash with borrowings. For further
information, see Note 2 to the FTX Financial Statements.
On July 1, 1993, FRP and IMC Fertilizer, Inc. ("IMC") contributed
their respective phosphate fertilizer businesses, including the mining and
sale of phosphate rock and the production, distribution and sale of
phosphate chemicals, uranium oxide and related products, to IMC-Agrico.
At the time, FRP and IMC were among the largest integrated phosphate
fertilizer producers in the world and both were among the lowest cost
producers. As a result of the formation of IMC-Agrico, FRP expects that
it and IMC together will be able to achieve by the middle of 1995 at least
$95 million per year of savings in aggregate production costs and selling,
administrative and general expenses.
FRP has completed development of the Main Pass sulphur and oil
reserves which it discovered in 1988 and in which it has a 58.3% interest.
Sulphur production at minimal levels began during the second quarter of
1992. Sulphur production achieved full design operating rates of 5,500
long tons per day (approximately 2 million long tons per year) on schedule
in December 1993, and has since sustained production at or above that
level. For further information concerning FRP's reserves of sulphur and
phosphate rock and sales information, see Note 11 to the FTX Financial
Statements.
ENERGY
Oil and Natural Gas
- -------------------
The Company engages in the exploration and development of oil and
gas(*) properties and the production and sale of oil and gas in the
continental United States primarily through FMOG. In the international
arena, the Company conducts oil and gas operations through subsidiaries.
During 1993, the Company engaged in domestic oil and gas exploration,
development and/or production primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore
Louisiana and Texas, onshore Louisiana and engaged in international
exploration.
- --------------------
(*) As used hereinafter, "oil" refers to crude oil, condensate and natural
gas liquids, and "gas" refers to natural gas.
The principal FTX oil interest is held by FRP, which is engaged in
the development and production of oil reserves at Main Pass associated
with the same caprock reservoir as the sulphur reserves. The Main Pass
property consists of 1,125 gross acres (656 acres net to FRP). FRP
currently estimates remaining proved recoverable oil reserves at Main Pass
as of December 31, 1993 to be 20.8 million barrels (10 million barrels net
to FRP). The development and production of these reserves are being
conducted by FMOG on behalf of FRP, as operator of the joint venture,
pursuant to a management services agreement. Oil production commenced in
the fourth quarter of 1991 and averaged approximately 19,400 barrels per
day (9,400 barrels per day net to FRP) during 1993. For further
information with respect to Main Pass and FTX's interest in FRP, see the
heading "Agricultural Minerals" above. For further information with
respect to the businesses and properties of FRP, reference is made to the
discussion in the 1993 FRP Form 10-K under the heading "Items 1 and 2.
Business and Properties.", on pages 1 through 13, inclusive, incorporated
herein by reference.
For information relating to estimates of the Company's net interests
in proved oil reserves, sales and average realized price, see Note 11 to
the FTX Financial Statements. No favorable or adverse event or major
discovery has occurred since December 31, 1993, that the Company believes
would cause a significant change in estimated proved reserves.
The Company's capitalized oil and gas exploration and development
expenditures (including those attributable to minority interests) were
$40.4 million in 1993.
Geothermal
- ----------
In April 1993, FRP sold its remaining interests in producing
geothermal properties for $63.5 million to Calpine Corporation, consisting
of $23 million in cash and interest-bearing notes totaling $40.5 million,
recognizing a $31 million charge to expense and recording a $9 million
charge for impairment of its undeveloped geothermal properties. These
notes provided that the entire principal amount could be repaid at a
discount according to a specified schedule. FRP received a prepayment of
$36.9 million, including accrued interest, in February 1994, which
represented full payment on these notes.
In 1993 FRP sold its undeveloped geothermal energy assets located in
the Salton Sea area of the Imperial Valley of southern California to Magma
Power Company, and certain of its affiliates, for consideration consisting
of a current cash payment and the right to future payments based on the
development of geothermal projects on its former leases. FRP still
retains its undeveloped geothermal energy assets located in the Medicine
Lake area of northern California.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In February 1993, FTX outsourced its corporate engineering, research and
development, corporate environmental and corporate safety functions and,
to that end, contracted with a new company initially owned and staffed by
former employees of FTX, Crescent Technology, Inc. ("Crescent"), that
furnishes similar services to the Company. Crescent owns and operates
laboratory and pilot plant facilities at Belle Chasse, Louisiana, where
mineral analyses, metallurgical work and other research and testing are
conducted which contribute to the Company's commercial operations.
Additionally, Crescent maintains engineering and mine development groups
in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provide the engineering, design and
construction supervision activities required to implement new ventures and
apply improvements to existing operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company has a history of commitment to environmental
responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before the general public recognized
the importance of maintaining environmental quality, the Company has
conducted preoperational, bioassay, marine ecological and other
environmental surveys to ensure the environmental compatibility of its
operations. The Company's Environmental Policy commits its operations to
full compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and prescribes the
use of periodic environmental audits of all domestic facilities to evaluate
compliance status and to communicate that information to management. FTX
has contracted with Crescent to develop and implement corporatewide
environmental programs and to study and implement methods to reduce
discharges and emissions. For information concerning the outsourcing of
certain of FTX's functions, see "Research and Development" above.
The Company's domestic operations are subject to federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.
Exploration, mining, development and production of natural resources, and
chemical processing operations of the Company, like similar operations of
other companies, may affect the environment. Moreover, such operations
may involve the extraction, handling, production, processing, treatment,
storage, transportation and disposal of materials and waste products
which, under certain conditions, may be toxic or hazardous, and expressly
regulated under environmental laws. Present and future environmental laws
and regulations applicable to Company operations may require substantial
capital expenditures or affect the Company's operations in other ways that
cannot now be accurately predicted.
The Company has made, and continues to make, expenditures with
respect to its operations for the protection of the environment. In 1992,
at a cost of $35.7 million, FRP completed the replacement of two sulphuric
acid production units at an existing fertilizer plant thereby
substantially reducing air emissions and increasing plant efficiency. As
successor to FRP, IMC-Agrico completed at the end of 1993, at a cost of
$27 million, an innovative drainage and cover plan for phosphogypsum
storage areas in Louisiana to substantially reduce substances in
wastewater discharged from its fertilizer operations, while at the same
time increasing the capacity of these storage areas. Future operations of
this kind are projected to require additional investments of $30 million
between 1994 and 2004.
Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues can
be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental
controls. On analyzing its operations in relation to current and
anticipated environmental requirements, the Company does not expect that
these investments will have a significant impact on its future operations
or financial condition. For further information with respect to
environmental matters, reference is made to the information set forth in
Item 7 below.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1993, the Company had a total of 7,658 employees,
compared with 7,957 employees at year-end 1992. Approximately 40% of PT-FI's
Indonesian employees are members of the All Indonesia Workers' Union,
which operates under governmental supervision, with which a labor
agreement covering PT-FI's hourly-paid Indonesian employees runs until
September 30, 1995. There were no work stoppages in 1993, and relations
with the unions have generally been good. Approximately 82% of RTM's
employees are covered by union contracts. RTM experienced limited work
stoppages in 1993, but relations with these unions have generally been
good. The management of the Company believes that it has good relations
with all other personnel employed in its domestic and international
operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
- ---------------------------
Although the Company may be from time to time involved in various
legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course
of its businesses, the Company believes that potential liability in any
such pending or threatened proceedings would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
FTX maintains liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential
liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of its businesses as
well as other insurance coverages customary in its businesses, with such
coverage limits as management deems prudent.

ORE RESERVE ADDITIONS AND ONGOING EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Total estimated proved and probable recoverable reserves at P.T. Freeport
Indonesia Company (PT-FI), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.'s (FCX)
principal operating unit, have increased since December 31, 1992, by 5.9
billion pounds of copper (a 28 percent increase), 7.0 million ounces of
gold (a 22 percent increase), and 32.0 million ounces of silver (a 72
percent increase), bringing PT-FI's total year-end 1993 estimated proved
and probable recoverable reserves to 26.8 billion pounds of copper, 39.1
million ounces of gold, and 76.7 million ounces of silver. The increases,
net of production during the year, were added primarily at the Grasberg
deposit, but also include additions at the underground mine at the DOZ
(Deep Ore Zone) deposit and the recently discovered Big Gossan deposit.
In addition to continued delineation of the Grasberg deposit and other
deposits including Big Gossan, PT-FI is proceeding with its ongoing
exploration program for mineralization within the original mining area.
During 1993, PT-FI initiated helicopter-supported surface drilling of the
Wanagon gold/silver/copper prospect, located 1.5 miles northwest of Big
Gossan and 2 miles southwest of Grasberg, where seven holes were drilled.
Significant copper mineralization has been encountered below the 2,900
meter elevation.
Preliminary exploration of the new contract of work area (New COW
Area) has indicated numerous promising targets. Extensive stream sediment
sampling within the new acreage has generated analytical results which are
being evaluated. This sampling program, when coupled with regional mapping
completed on the ground and from aerial photographs, has led to the
outlining of over 50 exploration targets. PT-FI has also completed a
fixed-wing air-magnetometer survey of the entire New COW Area. Detailed
follow-up exploration of these anomalies by additional mapping and sampling
and through the use of both aerial and ground magnetic surveys is now in
progress. Systematic drilling of these targets has already commenced with
significant mineralization being discovered at several prospects.
Additional drilling is required to determine if any of these are
commercially viable. Initial surface and stream sampling began on an
additional 2.5 million acres, just north and west of our existing COW area,
on which an affiliate has an exploration permit and a pending COW.

======== ========
a. Includes a pretax charge of $196.4 million related to restructuring the
administrative organization, the loss on the sale of the Freeport-
McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership (FRP) producing
geothermal assets, the charge to expense for the recoverability of
certain assets, and adjustments to general and administrative expenses
and production and delivery costs discussed below, net of the gain on
the sale of a nonproducing oil and gas property and certain previously
mined phosphate rock acreage (Note 4).
b. Includes a $37.5 million charge ($.25 per share) related to the items
discussed in Note A, net of a gain on the conversion of FCX notes (Note
5). Also includes a $20.7 million charge ($.15 per share), after taxes
and minority interests, for the cumulative effect of the changes in
accounting principle (Note 1).
c. Includes a $134.7 million gain ($.93 per share) on the sale/conversion
of FCX securities (Notes 2 and 5).
d. Operating income plus other income, less provision for restructuring
charges and the gain/loss on valuation and sale of assets from the
Statements of Operations.
After discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX or the Company) is
reclassifying certain expenses and accruals previously recorded in 1993 as
restructuring and valuation of assets. In response to inquiries, the
Company advised the SEC staff that $27.4 million originally reported as
restructuring and valuation of assets represented the cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principle resulting from the adoption of the new
accounting policies that the Company considered preferable, as described in
Note 1 to the financial statements. The Company also informed the SEC
staff of the components of other charges included in the amount originally
reported as restructuring and valuation of assets. The Company concluded
that the reclassification and the related supplemental disclosures more
accurately reflect the nature of these charges to 1993 net income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
reclassifications had no impact on net income or net income per share.
FTX incurred a net loss applicable to common stock for 1993 of $126.2
million compared with income of $169.1 million for 1992. Excluding the
items footnoted in the table above, 1993 earnings reflected reduced
earnings from its metals and agricultural minerals business segments,
generally caused by lower product realizations (see operating statistics in
Note 11 to the financial statements). The reduction in general and
administrative expenses reflects the initial benefits from the
restructuring during the first half of 1993. Interest expense increased,
as no interest was capitalized on the Main Pass sulphur operations
subsequent to it becoming operational for accounting purposes in July 1993.
FTX's 1993 effective tax rate for operations (excluding the net credit
attributable to the nonrecurring items) rose due to the higher portion of
income from FTX's metals operations in Indonesia, where the effective tax
rate is higher, and from a $15.7 million loss at Rio Tinto Minera, S.A.
(RTM) for which no tax benefit is recorded. Additionally, minority
interests' share of net income was impacted by an increase in FCX's
preferred stock dividend requirements following the issuance of additional
FCX preferred stock during 1993 (Note 2).
FTX recognized its proportionate share of FRP's earnings, including
the recognition of a portion of the gain deferred by FTX (Note 2), during
1993 and 1992. If in future quarters FTX were to receive no distributions
from FRP, the deferred gain would be fully recognized in the third quarter
of 1994. Subsequent to the recognition of the balance of the deferred
gain, when FRP distributions are not paid to FTX in any quarter, FTX will
recognize a smaller share of any FRP net income, or a larger share of any
FRP net loss, than that which would be recognized based on FTX's ownership
interest in FRP.
Restructuring Activities. During the second quarter of 1993, FTX undertook
a restructuring of its administrative organization. This restructuring
represented a major step by FTX to lower its costs of operating and
administering its businesses in response to weak market prices of the
commodities produced by its operating units. As part of this
restructuring, FTX significantly reduced the number of employees engaged in
administrative functions, changed its management information systems (MIS)
environment to achieve efficiencies, reduced its needs for office space,
outsourced a number of administrative functions, and implemented other
actions to lower costs. As a result of this restructuring process, the
level of FTX's administrative cost has been reduced substantially over what
it would have been otherwise, which benefit will continue in the future.
However, the restructuring process entailed incurring certain one-time
costs by FTX.
FTX's restructuring costs totaled $67.1 million, consisting of the
following: $30.3 million for personnel related costs; $15.0 million
relating to excess office space and furniture and fixtures resulting from
the staff reduction; $8.2 million relating to the cost to downsize its
computing and MIS structure; $4.8 million of deferred charges relating to
FTX's and PT-FI's credit facilities which were substantially revised in
June 1993; and $8.8 million related to costs directly associated with the
formation of IMC-Agrico Company, discussed below. As of December 31, 1993,
the remaining accrual for these restructuring costs was approximately $7
million.
In connection with the restructuring project, FTX changed its
accounting systems and undertook a detailed review of its accounting
records and valuation of various assets and liabilities. As a result of
this process, FTX recorded charges totaling $65.1 million, comprised of the
following: (a) $26.2 million of production and delivery costs consisting
of $10.4 million for revised estimates of prior year costs; $6.3 million
for revised estimates of environmental liabilities; $5.0 for materials and
supplies inventory obsolescence; and $4.5 million of adjustments in
converting accounting systems, (b) $18.7 million of depreciation and
amortization costs consisting of $11.5 million for estimated future
abandonment and reclamation costs and $7.2 million for the write-down of
miscellaneous properties, (c) $4.4 million of exploration expenses for the
write-down of an unproved oil and gas property, and (d) $15.8 million of
general and administrative expenses consisting of $9.4 million to downsize
FTX's computing and MIS structure and $6.4 million for the write-off of
miscellaneous assets.
Metals Operations. The Company's metals segment operations are conducted
through its affiliate FCX, and FCX's operating units PT-FI and RTM. FCX
contributed 1993 earnings of $173.5 million on revenues of $925.9 million
compared with earnings of $283.6 million on revenues of $714.3 million for
1992. Significant items impacting the segment earnings are as follows (in

Revenues in 1993 increased as a result of the acquisition of RTM,
adding sales of copper cathodes and anodes ($204.9 million), gold bullion
($57.4 million), and other products ($26.1 million). Excluding RTM,
revenues declined 4 percent when compared to 1992. Copper price
realizations, taking into account PT-FI's $.90 per pound price protection
program, were 12 percent lower than in 1992, but gold price realizations
were up 6 percent. Although ore production averaged 62,300 metric tons of
ore milled per day (MTPD) in 1993 (8 percent higher than in 1992), copper
sales volumes decreased slightly from 1992 primarily because of sales from
inventory in 1992. Gold sales volumes in 1993 benefited from significantly
higher fourth-quarter 1993 gold grades (a 46 percent increase over fourth-
quarter 1992 and a 38 percent increase over third-quarter 1993), which are
not anticipated to continue in 1994, and an increase in gold recovery rates
for the year which improve with higher gold grades. Revenues also
benefited from a decline in treatment charges of 3.4 cents per pound from
1992, resulting from a tightening in the concentrate market as the
industry's inventories were reduced for much of 1993. Additionally, lower
copper prices led to lower treatment charges since these charges vary with
the price of copper. Adjustments to prior year concentrate sales include
changes in prices on all metals for prior year open sales as well as the
related impact on treatment charges. Open copper sales at the beginning of
1993 were recorded at an average price of $1.04 per pound, but subsequently
were adjusted downward as copper prices fell during the year, negatively
impacting 1993 revenues. As of December 31, 1993, 213.4 million pounds of
copper remained to be contractually priced during future quotational
periods. As a result of PT-FI's price protection program, discussed below,
these pounds are recorded at $.90 per pound. The copper price on the
London Metal Exchange (LME) was $.84 per pound on February 1, 1994.
In June 1993, two of PT-FI's four mill level ore passes caved,
resulting in a blockage of a portion of the ore pass delivery system. The
blockage's primary effect was to limit mill throughput to approximately
40,700 MTPD for approximately eight weeks. The impact of the blockage was
minimized by using an ore stockpile adjacent to the mill and installing
conveyors to alternative ore pass systems. The ore pass blockage has been
rectified through the temporary use of alternative delivery systems and by-
passes. A permanent delivery system is expected to be in service by mid-
1994. The copper recovery rate for 1993 was adversely affected because the
ore milled from the stockpile contained higher than normal oxidized copper,
which yields lower copper recoveries. The Company's insurance policies are
expected to cover the property damage and business interruption claims
relative to the blockage.
PT-FI's unit site production and delivery costs, excluding $10.0
million of charges related to the restructuring project, increased slightly
from 1992 primarily as a result of costs incurred in connection with the
ore pass blockage and an increase in production overhead costs related to
expansion activities. Unit cash production costs declined significantly to
31.1 cents per pound in 1993 from 40.7 cents per pound in 1992, benefiting
from higher gold and silver credits, lower treatment charges, and reduced
royalties primarily due to lower copper prices on which such royalties are
based. PT-FI's depreciation rate increased from 7.4 cents per recoverable
pound during 1992 to 8.3 cents in 1993, reflecting the increased cost
relating to the 66,000 MTPD expansion. As a result of the reserve
additions discussed earlier, PT-FI's depreciation rate is expected to
decrease to 7.5 cents per recoverable payable pound for 1994, absent any
other significant changes in ore reserves. In addition, FCX is amortizing
costs in excess of book value ($2.4 million of amortization in 1993)
relating to certain capital stock transactions with PT-FI. Amortization of
these excess costs is expected to be $3.6 million per year starting in
1994.
Exploration expenditures in Irian Jaya totaled $31.7 million in 1993,
compared to $12.2 million in 1992 and are projected to be approximately $35
million in 1994. Exploration expenditures in Spain are expected to be
approximately $6 million in 1994.
FCX's general and administrative expenses increased from $68.5 million
in 1992 to $81.4 million in 1993 primarily because of the increased
personnel and facilities needed due to the expansion at PT-FI and the
acquisition of RTM. Included in the 1993 expense is $5.0 million at RTM
(since its acquisition in March 1993) and charges totaling $6.3 million
resulting from the restructuring project discussed above. Further
increases in general and administrative expenses are anticipated in
conjunction with continuing expansion at PT-FI. Metals segment general and
administrative expenses, including those of RTM, are currently expected to
increase by approximately 25 percent in 1994.
PT-FI's copper concentrates, which contain significant amounts of
recoverable gold and silver, are sold primarily under long-term sales
agreements which accounted for virtually all of PT-FI's 1993 sales. PT-FI
has commitments from various parties to purchase virtually all of its
estimated 1994 production. Concentrate sales agreements provide for
provisional billings based on world metals prices, primarily the LME,
generally at the time of loading. As is customary within the industry,
sales under these long-term contracts usually "final-price" within a few
months of shipment. Certain terms of the long-term contracts, including
treatment charges, are negotiated annually on a portion of the tonnage to
reflect current market conditions. Treatment charges have declined during
1993 as a result of the tightening in the concentrate market and are
expected to remain at or below 1993 levels. RTM has commitments from most
of its suppliers for 1994 treatment charge rates in excess of current spot
market rates.
The increased production at PT-FI has required it to market its
concentrate globally. Its principal markets include Japan, Asia, Europe,
and North America. PT-FI's mill throughput is currently forecast to be
approximately 67,000 MTPD for 1994 as it continues to integrate new mill
equipment for the expansion to 115,000 MTPD. Current estimates for 1994
production are approximately 700 million pounds of copper and 780,000
ounces of gold for PT-FI and 165,000 ounces of gold at RTM. RTM, whose
smelter can be expanded, was acquired to provide low-cost smelter capacity
for a portion of PT-FI's concentrate and to improve PT-FI's competitive
position in marketing concentrate to other parties.
During 1993, copper prices dropped to their lowest levels since 1987,
reflecting lower demand caused by the continuing global recession, but
recovered to a level in excess of $.80 per pound. Prices for copper, gold,
and silver are influenced by many factors beyond the Company's control and
can fluctuate sharply. PT-FI has a price protection program for virtually
all of its estimated copper sales to be priced in 1994 at an average floor
price of $.90 per pound of copper, while allowing full benefit from prices
above this amount. Based on projected 1994 PT-FI copper sales of
approximately 720 million pounds, a 1 cent per pound change in the average
annual copper price received over $.90 per pound would have an
approximately $6 million effect on pretax operating income and cash flow.
Based on projected 1994 gold sales of approximately 800,000 ounces by PT-
FI, a $10 per ounce change in the average annual gold price received would
have an approximately $8 million effect on pretax operating income and cash
flow.
Agricultural Minerals Operations. FRP and IMC Fertilizer, Inc. (IMC)
formed a joint venture (IMC-Agrico Company), effective July 1, 1993, for
their respective phosphate fertilizer businesses, including phosphate rock
and uranium. IMC-Agrico Company is governed by a policy committee having
equal representation from each company and is managed by IMC. Combined
annual savings of at least $95 million in production, marketing, and
general and administrative costs are expected to result from this
transaction, the full effect beginning by the end of the second year of
operations. The operating efficiencies achievable by the joint venture
should enable it to generate positive cash flow in a low-price environment,
such as that experienced in 1993, and to be in a position to earn
significant profits if product prices rise to historical levels. As
discussed above and in Note 4 to the financial statements, significant
restructuring charges were recorded in connection with this transaction.
As a result of the joint venture, FRP is engaged in the phosphate rock
mining, fertilizer production, and uranium oxide extraction businesses only
through IMC-Agrico Company. FRP will continue to operate its sulphur and
oil businesses. FRP has varying sharing ratios in IMC-Agrico Company, as
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, which were based on the
projected contributions of FRP and IMC to the cash flow of the joint
venture and on an equal sharing of the anticipated savings.
FRP transferred the assets it contributed to IMC-Agrico Company at
their book carrying cost and proportionately consolidates its interest in
IMC-Agrico Company. As a result, FRP's operating results subsequent to the
formation of IMC-Agrico Company vary significantly in certain respects from
those previously reported. Phosphate fertilizer realizations and unit
production costs were fundamentally changed as the majority of the FRP
contributed fertilizer production facilities are located on the Mississippi
River, whereas the IMC contributed fertilizer production facilities are
located in Florida. Fertilizer produced on the Mississippi River commands
a higher sales price in the domestic market because of its proximity to
markets; however, raw material transportation costs at the Florida
facilities are lower for phosphate rock, partially offset by increased
sulphur transportation costs.
The Company's agricultural minerals segment, which includes FRP's
fertilizer, phosphate rock, and sulphur businesses, reported a loss of
$55.9 million on revenues of $619.3 million for 1993 compared with earnings
of $18.0 million on revenues of $799.0 million for 1992. Significant items
impacting the segment earnings are as follows (in millions):

Weak industrywide demand and changes attributable to FRP's
participation in IMC-Agrico Company resulted in FRP's 1993 reported sales
volumes for diammonium phosphate (DAP), its principal fertilizer product,
declining 17 percent from that of a year-ago. The weakness in the
phosphate fertilizer market prompted IMC-Agrico Company to make strategic
curtailments in its phosphate fertilizer production. However, late in the
year increased export purchases contributed to a rise in market prices,
helping to rekindle domestic buying interests which had been unwilling to
make purchase commitments. The increased demand, coupled with low
industrywide production levels, caused reduced inventory levels. Late in
1993, IMC-Agrico Company increased its production levels in response to the
improving markets and projected domestic and international demand for its
fertilizer products. Unit production cost, excluding charges related to
the restructuring project, declined from 1992 reflecting initial production
efficiencies from the joint venture, reduced raw material costs for
sulphur, and lower phosphate rock mining expenses, partially offset by
increased natural gas costs and lower production volumes. FRP's
realization for DAP was lower reflecting the near 20-year low prices
realized during 1993 as well as an increase in the lower-priced Florida
sales by IMC-Agrico Company.
FRP believes that the outlook for 1994 is for improved prices caused
by more normal market demand. Spot market prices improved from a low of
nearly $100 per short ton of DAP (central Florida) in July 1993 to just
over $140 per ton by year end. Industry inventories at year end were below
average levels, despite a fourth quarter rebound in industry production.
Export demand is expected to remain at more normal levels during the first
half of 1994, with China, India, and Pakistan expected to be active
purchasers. Additionally, domestic phosphate fertilizer demand is expected
to benefit from increased corn acreage planted due to lower government set-
asides and to increased fertilizer application rates necessitated by the
widespread flooding that caused a depletion of nutrients in a number of
midwestern states.
FRP's proportionate share of the larger IMC-Agrico Company phosphate
rock operation caused 1993 sales volumes to increase from 1992, with IMC-
Agrico Company operating its most efficient facilities to minimize costs.
Combined sulphur production from the Caminada and Main Pass mines
increased compared with 1992; however, sales volumes declined 16 percent,
primarily because of reduced purchases by IMC-Agrico Company resulting from
its curtailed fertilizer production. Due to the significant decline in the
market price of sulphur, FRP recorded a second-quarter 1993 noncash charge
to earnings (not included in segment earnings) for the excess of
capitalized cost over expected realization of its non-Main Pass sulphur
assets, primarily the Caminada sulphur mine (Note 4). Due to significant
improvements in Main Pass sulphur production, FRP ceased the marginally
profitable Caminada operations in January 1994. The shutdown of Caminada
will have no material impact on FTX's reported earnings. Although reduced
global demand has forced production cutbacks worldwide, sulphur prices
remain depressed. A rebound in price is not expected until demand
improves.
At Main Pass, sulphur production increased significantly during 1993
and achieved, on schedule, full design operating rates of 5,500 tons per
day (approximately 2 million tons per year) in December 1993 and has since
sustained production at or above that level. As a result of the production
increases, Main Pass sulphur became operational for accounting purposes
beginning July 1, 1993. Recognizing Main Pass sulphur operations in income
and discontinuing associated capitalized interest did not affect cash flow,
but adversely affected reported operating results.
Oil and Gas Operations. During the second quarter of 1992, FTX transferred
substantially all of its non-Main Pass oil and gas properties to FM
Properties Inc. (FMPO), whose shares were distributed to FTX shareholders.
Currently, FTX's oil and gas operations (excluding Main Pass oil
operations) involve exploring for new reserves. These activities generated
a 1993 loss of $38.2 million, including exploration expense of $22.3
million and $11.5 million of charges resulting from the restructuring
project, compared with a 1992 loss of $32.8 million, including exploration
expense of $18.3 million. In July 1993, FTX sold its interest in the
recently discovered undeveloped reserves at East Cameron Blocks 331/332,
offshore Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, for $95.3 million cash,
recognizing a pretax gain of $69.1 million (not included in segment
earnings). FTX had drilled seven development wells, then sold the property
before setting permanent production facilities.
Main Pass oil operations achieved the following:
1993 1992
--------- ---------
Sales (barrels) 3,443,000 4,884,000
Average realized price $14.43 $15.91
Earnings (in millions) $(1.5) $4.6
Since completion of development drilling in mid-April 1993, oil
production for the Main Pass joint venture (in which FRP owns a 58.3
percent interest) increased significantly, averaging over 20,000 barrels
per day for December 1993. Production for 1994 is expected to approximate
that of 1993 if water encroachment follows current trends, with the
anticipated drilling of additional wells (estimated to cost FRP
approximately $4 million) offsetting a production decline in existing
wells. Due to the dramatic decline in oil prices at year-end, FRP recorded
a $60.0 million charge to earnings (not included in segment earnings)
reflecting the excess net book value of its Main Pass oil investment over
the estimated future net cash flow to be received. Future price declines,
increases in costs, or negative reserve revisions could result in an
additional charge to future earnings.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow from operating activities declined in 1993 to $117.3 million from
$339.6 million for 1992, due to lower income from operations partially
offset by working capital changes. Net cash used in investing activities
was $429.0 million compared with $885.5 million for 1992. Increased metals
capital expenditures were incurred associated with PT-FI's expansion
whereas lower capital expenditures were incurred at Main Pass and in FRP's
agricultural minerals operations, due to completion of development projects
in 1992. Asset sales generated proceeds of $145.2 million during 1993,
whereas 1992 included a use of $211.9 million for the purchase of an
indirect interest in PT-FI. Net cash used in financing activities was
$29.5 million, whereas 1992 provided net cash of $837.3 million. The 1993
period includes $561.1 million of proceeds from the FCX preferred stock
offerings, whereas 1992 includes $1.3 billion of proceeds from equity
security offerings. Increased distributions to minority interest holders
of FCX and FRP securities as a result of the equity sales during 1993 and
1992 were offset by reduced FTX common stock purchases. Net long-term debt
repayments were $159.5 million in 1993 versus net borrowings of $53.7
million in 1992.
Cash flow from operations for 1992 totaled $339.6 million, up from
$249.9 million in 1991, as increased income from operations was partially
offset by working capital changes. Net cash used in investing activities
increased to $885.5 million in 1992 compared with $408.0 million for 1991,
primarily due to the purchase of the indirect PT-FI interest partially
offset by lower overall capital expenditures, while 1991 included $461.5
million in proceeds from the sale of oil and gas assets. Cash flow from
financing activities totaled $837.3 million in 1992 compared with $200.1
million in 1991, reflecting increased issuance of equity securities by FTX
and its affiliates, receipt of proceeds from the 1991 sale of PT-FI common
shares, and net long-term borrowings, partially offset by increased FTX
common stock purchases and cash dividends on FTX stock and distributions to
minority interests due to the additional FTX preferred stock and FRP and
FCX equity securities issued during 1992.
RTM's principal operations currently consist of a copper smelter. The
FCX purchase proceeds will be used by RTM for working capital requirements
and capital expenditures, including funding a portion of the expansion of
its smelter production capacity (expected to cost approximately $50
million) from its current 150,000 metric tons of metal per year to 180,000
metric tons of metal per year by mid-1995. RTM is also studying further
expansion of the smelter facilities to as much as 270,000 metric tons of
metal production per year and is assessing the opportunity to expand its
tankhouse operations from 135,000 metric tons per year to 215,000 metric
tons per year. RTM's 1993 cash flow from operations was negative primarily
due to cash requirements related to shutdown costs for RTM's gold mine.
RTM has relied on short-term credit facilities and the FCX purchase
proceeds to fund this shortfall. RTM is currently evaluating financing
alternatives to fund its short-term needs and to provide long-term funding
for expansion. RTM's future cash flow is dependent on a number of
variables including fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United
States dollar and the Spanish peseta, future prices and sales volumes of
gold, the size and timing of the smelter and tankhouse expansions, and the
supply/demand for smelter capacity and its impact on related treatment and
refining charges.
During 1992, FCX established the Enhanced Infrastructure Project
(EIP). The full EIP (currently expected to involve aggregate cost of as
much as $500 million to $600 million) includes plans for commercial,
residential, educational, retail, medical, recreational, environmental and
other infrastructure facilities to be constructed during the next 20 years
for PT-FI operations. The EIP will develop and promote the growth of local
and other third-party activities and enterprises in Irian Jaya through the
creation of certain necessary support facilities. The initial phase of the
EIP is under construction and is scheduled for completion in 1995.
Additional expenditures for EIP assets beyond the initial phase depend on
the long-term growth of PT-FI's operations and would be expected to be
funded by third-party financing sources, which may include debt, equity or
asset sales. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, certain
portions of the EIP and other existing infrastructure assets are expected
to be sold in the near future to provide additional funds for the expansion
to 115,000 MTPD.
Through 1995, FTX's capital expenditures are expected to be greater
than cash flow from operations. Upon completion of FCX's previously
announced 115,000 MTPD expansion by year-end 1995, annual production is
expected to approach 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of
gold. Completion of the FCX expansion, along with the additional cash flow
generated through savings achieved by IMC-Agrico Company, are expected to
enhance FTX's financial flexibility. Subsequently, capital expenditures
will be determined by the results of FCX's exploration activities and
ongoing capital maintenance programs. Estimated capital expenditures for
1994 and 1995 for the expansion to 115,000 MTPD, the initial phase of the
EIP, ongoing capital maintenance expenditures, and the expansion of RTM's
smelter to 180,000 metric tons of metal per year are expected to range from
$850 million to $950 million and will be funded by operating cash flow,
sales of existing and to-be-constructed infrastructure assets and a wide
range of financing sources the Company believes are available as a result
of the future cash flow from FTX's mineral reserve asset base. These
sources include, but are not limited to, FTX's credit facility (Note 5) and
the public and private issuances of securities.
The new contract of work (New COW) contains provisions for PT-FI to
conduct or cause to be conducted a feasibility study relating to the
construction of a copper smelting facility in Indonesia and for the
eventual construction of such a facility, if it is deemed to be
economically viable by PT-FI and the Government of Indonesia. PT-FI has
participated in a group assessing the feasibility of constructing a copper
smelting facility in Indonesia. The New COW also provides that the
Indonesian government will not nationalize the mining operations of PT-FI
or expropriate assets of PT-FI. Disputes under the New COW are to be
resolved by international arbitration. The 1967 Foreign Capital Investment
Law, which expresses Indonesia's foreign investment policy, provides basic
guarantees of remittance rights and protection against nationalization, a
framework for incentives and some basic rules as to other rights and
obligations of foreign investors.
FTX is primarily a holding company and the principal sources of its
cash flow are dividends and distributions from its ownership in FCX and
FRP. FCX currently pays an annual cash dividend of 60 cents per share to
FTX and to its public common shareholders. Management anticipates that
this dividend will continue at this level through completion of the
expansion in 1995, absent significant changes in the prices of copper and
gold. FCX's Board of Directors determines its dividend payment on a
quarterly basis and at its discretion may change or maintain the dividend
payment. Publicly owned FRP units have cumulative rights to receive
quarterly distributions of 60 cents per unit through the distribution for
the quarter ending December 31, 1996 (the Preference Period) before any
distributions may be made to FTX. FRP has announced that it no longer
intends to supplement distributable cash with borrowings. Therefore, FRP's
future distributions will be dependent on the distributions received from
IMC-Agrico Company, which will primarily be determined by prices and sales
volumes of its commodities and cost reductions achieved by its combined
operations, and the future cash flow of FRP's oil and sulphur operations
(including reclamation expenditures related to its non-Main Pass sulphur
assets). On January 21, 1994, FRP declared a distribution of 60 cents per
publicly held unit ($30.3 million) and 12 cents per FTX-owned unit ($6.2
million), bringing the total unpaid distribution due FTX to $239.2 million.
Unpaid distributions will be recoverable from future FRP cash available for
quarterly distributions as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements.
The January 1994 distribution included $30.9 million received from IMC-
Agrico Company for its fourth-quarter 1993 distribution (including $9.3
million from working capital reductions) and $13.0 million in proceeds from
the sale of certain previously mined phosphate rock acreage.
In the past, including in 1993, the FTX Board of Directors has decided
to borrow funds when the cash received from FCX, FRP, and asset sales was
insufficient to pay dividends and cover FTX's other cash requirements for
interest, general and administrative expenses, and oil and gas operations.
These decisions reflected the Board's analyses of FTX's estimated future
cash flow from the Company's large and long-lived mineral reserves, current
and expected commodity price levels, its borrowing capacity, and its cash
requirements in determining the dividend that the Board considers prudent.
FTX's 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures potentially restrict dividend
payments (Note 7); however, management has alternative courses of action
that it plans to pursue to eliminate the effect of this restriction. If
low commodity prices persist over an extended period, the Board can be
expected to change the Company's dividend, in which event there may be a
reduced dividend, a lower cash dividend supplemented by a property dividend
in the form of securities in its publicly traded subsidiaries or, in an
extreme case, an elimination of the dividend. If, however, the Company's
cash flow from its mineral reserves increase significantly because of
higher commodity prices or increased production levels, the Board is likely
to raise future dividends over current levels.
Management believes that operating cash flow, existing lines of credit
($425.0 million available as of February 1, 1994), selected asset sales,
third-party financing, and discretion with respect to capital, exploration
and development spending provides FTX with sufficient financial flexibility
and capital resources to meet its anticipated cash requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FTX has a history of commitment to environmental responsibility. Since the
1940s, long before public attention focused on the importance of
maintaining environmental quality, FTX has conducted preoperational,
bioassay, marine ecological, and other environmental surveys to ensure the
environmental compatibility of its operations. FTX's Environmental Policy
commits FTX's operations to full compliance with local, state, and federal
laws and regulations, and prescribes the use of periodic environmental
audits of all domestic facilities to evaluate compliance status and
communicate that information to management. FTX has access to
environmental specialists who have developed and implemented corporatewide
environmental programs. FTX's operating units continue to study and
implement methods to reduce discharges and emissions.
Federal legislation (sometimes referred to as "Superfund") requires
payments for cleanup of certain abandoned waste disposal sites, even though
such waste disposal activities were performed in compliance with
regulations applicable at the time of disposal. Under the Superfund
legislation, one party may, under certain circumstances, be required to
bear more than its proportional share of cleanup costs at a site where it
has responsibility pursuant to the legislation, if payments cannot be
obtained from other responsible parties. Other legislation mandates
cleanup of certain wastes at unabandoned sites. States also have
regulatory programs that can mandate waste cleanup. Liability under these
laws involves inherent uncertainties.
FTX has received notices from governmental agencies that it is one of
many potentially responsible parties at certain sites under relevant
federal and state environmental laws. Further, FTX is aware of additional
sites for which it may receive such notices in the future. Some of these
sites involve significant cleanup costs; however, at each of these sites
other large and viable companies with equal or larger proportionate shares
are among the potentially responsible parties. The ultimate settlement for
such sites usually occurs several years subsequent to the receipt of
notices identifying potentially responsible parties because of the many
complex technical and financial issues associated with site cleanup. FTX
believes that the aggregation of any costs associated with these potential
liabilities will not exceed amounts accrued and expects that any costs
would be incurred over a period of years.
The Company maintains insurance coverage in amounts deemed prudent for
certain types of damages associated with environmental liabilities which
arise from unexpected and unforeseen events and has an indemnification
agreement covering certain acquired sites (Note 9).
FTX has made, and will continue to make, expenditures at its
operations for protection of the environment. Continued government and
public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in
increased future investments for environmental controls, which will be
charged against income from future operations. Present and future
environmental laws and regulations applicable to FTX's operations may
require substantial capital expenditures and may affect its operations in
other ways that cannot now be accurately predicted.

a. Includes a $134.7 million gain ($.93 per share) from the sale/issuance
of FCX Class A common stock.
b. Includes a $7.3 million gain ($.05 per share) from an insurance

postretirement benefits other than pensions (Note 8).
c. Operating income plus other income, less gain/loss on valuation and
sale of assets from the Statements of Operations.
Record metals segment earnings were partially offset by reduced
agricultural minerals and energy segment earnings and an increase in
general and administrative expenses caused by the significant additional
effort and support required by FTX's expanding operations and increased
community and philanthropic efforts. Earnings for 1992 benefited from
lower interest expense reflecting reductions in average debt levels, lower
interest rates, and increased capitalized interest associated with the
copper mine/mill expansion and Main Pass development. Earnings for 1992
were also impacted by a greater minority interest ownership of FRP, FCX,
and PT-FI, reflecting equity sales by those entities, and an increase in
preferred stock dividends because of the March 1992 issuance of FTX's
$4.375 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Note 7). Net income for
1991 benefited from the reversal of deferred tax reserves no longer
required.
Metals Operations. FCX contributed 1992 earnings of $283.6 million
compared with $181.2 million for 1991. Revenues in 1992 totaled $714.3
million compared with $467.5 million in 1991. Significant items impacting
the segment earnings are as follows (in millions):
Metals earnings - 1991 $181.2

Metals earnings - 1992 $283.6
======
The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a 71 percent
and 48 percent increase in gold and copper sales volumes, respectively,
reflecting higher production rates due to the mine/mill expansion, higher
gold grades, and the sale of all year-end 1991 inventory. Revenues were
negatively impacted by a 3.6 cents per pound increase in treatment charges
compared with 1991 because of tight market conditions in the smelting
industry early in 1992 and increased spot market sales attributable to
higher than anticipated production due to the early completion of the
57,000 MTPD expansion program. A $5.7 million upward revenue adjustment
was made in 1992 compared with a $6.8 million downward revenue adjustment
in 1991 for prior year concentrate sales contractually priced during the
year. The amortization of the price protection programs decreased revenues
by $8.9 million in 1992 and $6.2 million in 1991.
Cost of sales for 1992 were $357.2 million, an increase of 47 percent
from 1991 due primarily to the 48 percent increase in copper sales volumes.
Unit site production and delivery costs were 47.4 cents in 1992 compared
with 46.5 cents in 1991. FCX's depreciation rate declined from an average
8.7 cents per recoverable pound during 1991 to 7.4 cents in 1992 because of
the significant increase in ore reserves during 1991.
Agricultural Minerals Operations. Revenues and earnings for 1992 totaled
$799.0 million and $18.0 million compared with $880.5 million and $78.9
million for 1991, respectively, reflecting weak market prices for phosphate
fertilizers and sulphur. However, FRP's 1992 average unit production cost
for phosphate fertilizers was lower than during 1991. Significant items
impacting the segment earnings are as follows (in millions):
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1991 $ 78.9
Major increases (decreases)
Sales volumes 27.0
Realizations (107.8)

======
Phosphate fertilizer sales volumes were slightly lower during 1992,
whereas the average realization was 13 percent lower. Phosphate fertilizer
realizations declined steadily throughout 1992 because of curtailed
purchases by China, the largest single fertilizer importer, and supply and
demand uncertainty in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and India. Also
contributing to the decline in prices were lower raw material costs, most
notably for sulphur, as producers in the weakening market passed along
these cost savings to buyers in an attempt to preserve market share. FRP's
phosphate rock and fertilizer facilities operated at or near capacity, with
the 1992 phosphate fertilizer unit production cost averaging 7 percent less
than during 1991 due to reduced raw material costs for sulphur and lower
phosphate rock mining expenses, despite higher natural gas costs. Unit
production cost also benefited during the latter part of 1992 as FRP
completed a $60.0 million capital program to improve efficiency and lower
costs.
Sulphur production and sales volumes for 1992 declined 8 percent and 7
percent, respectively, from 1991 as the Garden Island Bay and Grand Isle
mines ceased production in 1991. However, production increased at the
Caminada mine, which had a significantly lower unit production cost than
either Garden Island Bay or Grand Isle had prior to depletion, resulting in
an average sulphur unit production cost 7 percent lower than during 1991.
FRP's 1992 sulphur realization reflects the price declines which occurred
since mid-1991, as world sulphur markets were burdened by the collapse of
the Soviet Union as well as by a further decline in demand in Western
Europe. During 1992, several Canadian sulphur marketers built inventory
rather than accept depressed prices; however, others intensified their
efforts to sell into the important Tampa, Florida market.
Phosphate rock production and sales benefited from the capacity
expansion completed in mid-1992 at one of FRP's two operated phosphate rock
mines, and also reflect the output from FRP's central Florida Pebbledale
property, where sales began in July 1991 under a mining agreement with IMC.
Oil and Gas Operations. FTX's oil and gas operations (excluding the Main
Pass oil operation) generated a loss of $32.8 million on revenues of $49.8
million in 1992 compared with a loss of $22.5 million on revenues of $180.0
million for 1991 reflecting the transfer of oil and gas properties to FMPO
as well as the sale of a significant portion of its oil and gas properties
in 1991.
Revenues and earnings from Main Pass, which initiated oil production
in late 1991, were $78.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, on sales
net to FRP of 4.9 million barrels at an average realization of $15.91 per
barrel. Revenues for 1991 were $4.8 million, generating a $.6 million
loss, on net sales of .4 million barrels at an average realization of
$13.34 per barrel. Earnings for 1992 benefited from FRP's marketing
efforts, which alleviated earlier problems related to its high-sulphur oil,
and high average production rates.

a. In recognition of the services of certain employees, and to enhance the
probability that such services will continue in the future, FTX has made
non-interest bearing, non-transferable loans to Mr. Moffett ($2,700,000
in 1987), Mr. Ward ($1,000,000 in 1987) and Mr. Robinette ($323,290 in
1990). The loans are repayable on demand and will bear interest on and
after demand at a rate equal to the prime commercial lending rate
announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. It is
contemplated, however, that as long as the borrower remains employed by
FTX, demand will not be made. As additional compensation for future
services, on each anniversary of the loans, a portion (one-tenth for
Messrs. Moffett and Ward, and one-fifth for Mr. Robinette) of the
original loan is forgiven, provided such individual was employed by FTX
on that date. The loans are secured by a first mortgage on their
respective residences in Louisiana.
b. Under the PT-FI residential loan policy, Mr. Pamuntjak, President of PT-
FI until December 1990, Mr. Hoed, President of PT-FI effective January
1991, and Mr. Machribie, Vice President of PT-FI, borrowed $525,450,
$360,000, and $700,000, respectively.
Mr. Pamuntjak retired from PT-FI in December 1990 and in January 1991
signed a consulting services agreement with PT-FI. For the performance
of his services under this agreement, PT-FI shall forgive, as
compensation, 10 percent per year of the indebtedness on the effective
date, commencing January 1992. The consulting services agreement with
Mr. Pamuntjak was terminated in January 1993, at which time Mr.
Pamuntjak repaid the balance of the loan.
Effective September 1992, Mr. Hoed executed a new loan in the amount of
$256,625 which was used to pay off the remaining balance of the existing
loan; 10 percent of the principal amount of the new loan will be
forgiven annually.
Effective August 1992, Mr. Machribie borrowed $500,000 consisting of
one loan for $400,000 (the First Loan) and a second loan for $100,000
(the Second Loan). As long as Mr. Machribie remains in the employ of
PT-FI, 10 percent of the principal amount of the First Loan and 20
percent of the principal amount of the Second Loan will be forgiven
annually; a pro rata amount of $20,000 was forgiven in 1992.
Additionally, effective July 1993, Mr. Machribie borrowed $200,000
which will be repaid over 15 years through monthly salary deductions in
the amount of $1,100, which began in August 1993.
c. Consists of deferred compensation due Mr. Ward upon retirement which
was used to repay the outstanding loan balance.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX or the Company) include all majority-owned
subsidiaries and publicly traded partnerships. Investments in
joint ventures and partnerships (other than publicly traded entities)
are generally reflected using the proportionate consolidation method
in accordance with standard industry practice. Reclassifications were
made to prior year financial statements to conform
to the 1993 presentation. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
Cash and Short-Term Investments. FTX considers highly liquid investments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Each consolidated entity's cash and short-term investments are not
available to FTX until a distribution is paid to all owners of an entity's
equity securities.
Inventories. Inventories are generally stated at the lower of average cost
or market and removed at average cost.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is carried at
cost. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred, except in the
year the property is deemed to contain a viable mineral deposit, in which
case they are capitalized. Development costs, which include interest
incurred during the construction and development period, are capitalized.
Expenditures for replacements and improvements are capitalized.
Depreciation expense for mining and production assets, including mineral
interests, is determined using the unit-of-production method based on
estimates of recoverable reserves. Other assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 15 to 30 years for
buildings and 3 to 25 years for machinery and equipment.
Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Costs. FTX follows the successful
efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas operations. Costs of
leases, productive exploratory wells, and development activities are
capitalized. Other exploration costs are expensed. Depreciation and
amortization is determined on a field-by-field basis using the unit-of-
production method. Gain or loss is included in income when properties are
sold.
Environmental Remediation and Compliance. Environmental expenditures that
relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.
Expenditures resulting from the remediation of an existing condition caused
by past operations, that do not contribute to current or future revenues,
are expensed. Liabilities are recognized for remedial activities when the
efforts are probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated.
FTX accrues estimated future expenditures to restore properties and
related facilities to a state required to comply with current environmental
and other regulations over the life of the properties. As of December 31,
1993, FTX had accrued $63.6 million for abandonment and restoration of its
non-Main Pass sulphur assets ($8.1 million reflected in accounts payable),
approximately one-half of which will be reimbursed by third parties, and
$43.1 million for reclamation of land relating to phosphate rock mining
activities ($4.6 million reflected in accounts payable). Based on current
costs, laws, and regulations, FTX estimates that its share of costs
relating to the abandonment and restoration of its Main Pass sulphur mine
will approximate $35 million, with essentially all costs to be incurred
after mine closure in approximately 30 years. These estimates can be
expected to be revised over time due to changes in government regulations,
operations, technology, and inflation.
Hedging. P.T. Freeport Indonesia Company (PT-FI) has a price protection
program for virtually all of its estimated copper sales to be priced in
1994 at an average floor price of $.90 per pound, while allowing full
benefit from prices above that amount. Based on an average 1994 forward
market price of approximately $.82 per pound of copper (December 31, 1993
forward prices per London Metal Exchange, LME), the market value of these
contracts is approximately $56 million. The contracts are with a
diversified group of financially strong counterparties.
Rio Tinto Minera, S.A. (RTM) has forward contracts for approximately
61 percent of its estimated 1994 gold production at $383.80 per ounce and
38 percent of its estimated 1995 gold production at $394.80 per ounce.
Based on a market price of $390.65 per ounce of gold (December 31, 1993
price per LME), these contracts are in a loss position of approximately $2
million. Additionally, RTM has a policy of eliminating significant
exposure to copper price fluctuations by hedging purchases of concentrate
at its smelter through the use of forward contracts. At December 31, 1993,
RTM sold forward approximately 4.2 million pounds of its concentrate
inventory at approximately $.78 per pound of copper.
Concentrate Sales. Revenues associated with PT-FI's sales of metal
concentrates are recorded net of royalties, treatment costs, and
amortization of the cost of its price protection program. PT-FI's
concentrate sales agreements provide for provisional billings based on
world metals prices, primarily the LME, with actual settlement generally
based on appropriate future metals prices. Revenues, recorded initially
using provisional prices, are adjusted using current prices. At December
31, 1993, copper sales totaling 213.4 million pounds remained to be
contractually priced at various times in 1994. As a result of PT-FI's
price protection program, these pounds are recorded at an average price of
$.90 per pound. Gold sales are priced according to individual contract
terms.
Foreign Translation Adjustment. The functional currency for RTM is the
Spanish peseta. RTM's assets and liabilities are translated to U.S.
dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. FTX's
share of the cumulative results of the translation adjustment is recorded
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Results of operations are
translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Gains and
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which were not
material, are included in net income.
Net Income Per Share. Primary net income per share is computed by dividing
net income applicable to common stock by the average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted net income
per share is computed assuming that all convertible securities, if
dilutive, were converted at the beginning of the period or date of
issuance, whichever is later.
Changes in Accounting Principle. During 1993, the Company adopted the
following changes to accounting policies:
Periodic Scheduled Maintenance Costs - Costs related to periodic scheduled
maintenance (turnarounds) were previously capitalized when incurred and
amortized generally over six months to two years. Effective January 1,
1993, the method of accounting was changed to expense these costs when
incurred.
Deferred Charges - The accounting for deferred charges was changed to
provide for deferral of only those costs that directly relate to the
acquisition, construction, and development of assets and to the issuance of
debt and related instruments. Previously, certain other costs that
benefitted future periods were amortized over the periods benefitted.
Management Information Systems - Costs of management information systems
(MIS) equipment and software that have a material impact on periodic
measurement of net income are capitalized and amortized over their
estimated productive lives. Other MIS costs, including equipment and
purchased software that involve relatively immaterial amounts (currently
individual expenditures of less than $.5 million) and short estimated
productive lives (currently less than three years) are charged to expense
when incurred. Previously, most expenditures for MIS equipment and
purchased software were capitalized. The accounting for MIS costs was
changed to recognize the rapid rate of technology change in MIS which
results in short productive lives of equipment and software and a need for
continuing investments.
The changes in accounting policy were adopted to improve the measurement of
operating results by reporting cash expenditures as expenses when incurred
unless they are directly related to long-lived asset additions. In
addition, the administrative costs of accounting for assets will be reduced
by not capitalizing and amortizing relatively insignificant expenditures
that do not have a material effect on measuring periodic net income.
If these changes in accounting principle had not been adopted, 1993
income before change in accounting principle would not have been materially
different from the amount reported. If the changes in accounting principle
had been applied in prior years, 1992 and 1991 net income would not have
been materially different from amounts reported.
2. PUBLIC SUBSIDIARIES
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX). The
Company's metals operations are conducted through its publicly traded
subsidiary, FCX. FCX's operations are conducted primarily through its
subsidiaries, PT-FI which principally operates the Indonesian copper and
gold mining facilities and, RTM which operates a copper smelter in Spain.
In January 1991, the Government of Indonesia increased its ownership
in PT-FI from 8.9 percent to 10 percent by purchasing PT-FI shares owned by
FCX for $18.1 million. In December 1991, PT-FI and the Indonesian
government signed a new contract of work (New COW) which has a 30-year term
with two 10-year extensions permitted. Under the New COW, FCX pays the
Indonesian government a royalty of 1.5 percent to 3.5 percent on the value
of copper sold, net of delivery costs and treatment and refining charges,
and a 1 percent royalty on the sales value of gold and silver ($9.5 million
in 1993, $15.7 million in 1992, and $10.5 million in 1991). The New COW
required FCX to increase the ownership by Indonesian entities in PT-FI to
20 percent, which was achieved through the sale of 10 percent of PT-FI
common stock to an entity owned by Indonesian investors on December 31,
1991. FTX and FCX guaranteed the buyer's financing for this purchase and,
consequently, deferred gain on this sale. In December 1992, FCX purchased
49 percent of the capital stock of the publicly traded Indonesian entity
which owned the 10 percent of PT-FI sold in 1991 and the deferred gain was
offset against the cost of the additional indirect PT-FI interest. In
December 1993, PT-FI issued shares of its stock to FCX in exchange for the
conversion of certain notes (Note 5). FCX's direct ownership in PT-FI
totaled 80.8 percent and 80.0 percent at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. In 1994, PT-FI issued additional shares of its stock to FCX
for conversion of the remaining notes, increasing FCX's direct ownership in
PT-FI to 81.3 percent. The sale and purchase prices were based on the fair
market value of FCX Class A common stock at the time of the agreements. At
December 31, 1993, PT-FI's net assets totaled $184.3 million, including
$24.6 million of retained earnings.
In July 1992, FCX sold publicly 8.6 million shares of its Class A
common stock, resulting in an after-tax gain to FTX of $100.9 million, and
9.0 million depositary shares. Each depositary share represents 2 16/17
shares of its 7% Convertible Exchangeable Special Preference Stock, has a
cumulative annual cash dividend of $1.75 (payable quarterly) and a $25
liquidation preference, and is convertible at the option of the holder into
approximately 1.009 shares of FCX Class A common stock (equivalent to a
conversion price of $24.77 per share of FCX Class A common stock).
Beginning August 1, 1995, FCX may redeem these depositary shares for cash
at $26.225 per share (declining ratably to $25 per share in March 2002)
plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
In July 1993, FCX sold publicly 14.0 million depositary shares
representing its Step-Up Convertible Preferred Stock. Each depositary
share has a cumulative annual cash dividend of $1.25 through August 1, 1996
and thereafter $1.75 (payable quarterly) and a $25 liquidation preference,
and is convertible at the option of the holder into approximately 0.826
shares of FCX Class A common stock (equivalent to a conversion price of
$30.28 per share of FCX Class A common stock). From August 1, 1996 and
prior to August 1, 1999, FCX may redeem these depositary shares for
approximately 0.826 shares of FCX Class A common stock per depositary share
if the market price of FCX Class A common stock exceeds certain specified
levels. Thereafter, FCX may redeem these depositary shares at $25 per
share (payable in FCX Class A common stock, cash or a combination of both,
at FCX's option) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
In August 1993, FCX sold publicly 6.0 million depositary shares
representing its Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock. Each depositary share
has a cumulative quarterly cash dividend equal to the value of 0.000875
ounces of gold and is subject to mandatory cash redemption in August 2003
for the value of 0.1 ounces of gold. The depositary shares are recorded at
their offering price and are being reflected as a hedge of future gold
sales for accounting purposes. Based on the December 31, 1993 closing
market price, these depositary shares had a market value of $258 million.
In January 1994, FCX sold publicly 4.3 million depositary shares
representing its Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, Series II, for net
proceeds of $158.5 million. Each depositary share has a cumulative
quarterly cash dividend equal to the value of 0.0008125 ounces of gold and
is subject to mandatory cash redemption in February 2006 for the value of
0.1 ounces of gold.
FTX reflects FCX preferred stock and related dividends as minority
interests in its financial statements. FTX's ownership of the FCX Class A
and Class B common stock combined as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, was
71.8 percent and 73.2 percent, respectively.
In March 1993, FCX acquired a 65 percent interest in RTM, which
operates a copper smelter and a gold mine with an estimated remaining life
of fewer than four years, by investing approximately $50 million, excluding
transaction costs, to be used by RTM for working capital requirements and
capital expenditures, including funding a portion of the costs of the
expansion of its smelter production capacity from its current 150,000
metric tons of metal per year to 180,000 metric tons of metal per year by
mid-1995. In December 1993, RTM redeemed the remaining 35 percent interest
for approximately $19 million. Selected balance sheet information
reflecting the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and
liabilities acquired is as follows (in thousands):
Current assets $101,454
Current liabilities (158,445)
Property, plant and equipment, net 277,170

========
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership (FRP). The
Company's fertilizer and sulphur operations and its Main Pass oil
operations are conducted through its publicly traded affiliate, FRP. FTX
owned 51.3 percent of the FRP units outstanding at December 31, 1993 and
1992.
FRP and IMC Fertilizer, Inc. (IMC) formed a joint venture (IMC-Agrico
Company), operated by IMC, effective July 1, 1993, for their respective
phosphate fertilizer businesses, including phosphate rock and uranium.
FRP's "Current Interest", reflecting cash to be distributed from ongoing
operations, initially is 58.6 percent and its "Capital Interest",
reflecting the purchase or sale of long-term assets or any required capital
contributions to IMC-Agrico Company is 46.5 percent initially. These
ownership percentages decline in annual increments ultimately to 40.6
percent for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998 and remain constant
thereafter.
FRP proportionately consolidates its interest in IMC-Agrico Company.
The assets of IMC-Agrico Company are not available to FRP until
distributions are paid by the joint venture. At December 31, 1993, the net
assets of IMC-Agrico Company totaled $1.5 billion. In January 1994,
IMC-Agrico Company declared a $52.8 million distribution payable in February
1994, of which $30.9 million is due to FRP.
Publicly owned FRP units have cumulative rights to receive quarterly
distributions of 60 cents per unit through the distribution for the quarter
ending December 31, 1996 (the Preference Period) before any distributions
may be made to FTX. FRP no longer intends to supplement distributable cash
with borrowings. Therefore, FRP's future distributions will be dependent
on the distributions received from IMC-Agrico Company and future cash flow
from FRP's sulphur and oil operations.
On January 21, 1994, FRP declared a distribution of 60 cents per
publicly held unit ($30.3 million) and 12 cents per FTX-owned unit ($6.2
million) payable February 15, 1994, bringing the total unpaid distributions
due FTX to $239.2 million. During the Preference Period the unpaid FTX
distributions will be payable, after a 60 cents per unit quarterly
distribution is paid to all unitholders, equal to the lesser of any
deficiency or one-half of the amount by which distributable cash exceeds a
60 cents per unit distribution. Remaining distributable cash will be paid
to all unitholders in accordance with their percentage interests. After
the Preference Period distribution deficiencies on FTX-owned FRP units will
be paid in the manner described above after any deficiencies in the
cumulative quarterly distribution to the public are paid and a quarterly
distribution of 60 cents per unit has been paid to all unitholders.
In February 1992, FRP sold publicly 19.5 million new units, resulting
in a gain to FTX of $136.6 million, which was deferred because of the FRP
public unitholders' distribution priority. FTX recognized a pretax loss of
$126.3 million in 1993 and earnings of $10.5 million in 1992, which
represents its proportionate share of FRP's earnings. This included
recognition of $62.2 million and $41.8 million, respectively, of the gain
deferred by FTX. The remaining deferred gain will be recognized in future
periods when distributions are not paid to FTX such that its operating
results will include its proportionate share of FRP's earnings. Subsequent
to the recognition of the balance of the deferred gain, if additional FRP
distributions are not paid to FTX in any quarter, FTX will recognize a
smaller share of any FRP net income, or a larger share of any FRP net loss,
than that which would be recognized based on FTX's ownership interest in
FRP.
3. FM PROPERTIES INC. (FMPO)
In June 1992, FTX transferred substantially
all of its domestic oil and gas properties and real estate held for
development by it and certain of its subsidiaries, excluding FRP, to a
partnership which is currently 99.8 percent owned by FMPO. FTX holds a
minimal general partnership interest in the partnership and serves as its
managing general partner. In May 1992, FTX declared a distribution of one
FMPO common share for each ten FTX common shares owned. Selected financial
information of FMPO is as follows:

During 1993, FMPO sold all of its producing oil and gas properties and
used the proceeds, a portion of which was received in 1994, to reduce its
long-term debt. As of January 21, 1994, FMPO's long-term debt was
approximately $123 million and it had approximately $30 million of cash.
4. RESTRUCTURING AND VALUATION CHARGES
Restructuring Charges. FTX recognized expense of $67.1 million during
1993 for the restructuring of its administrative organization
(including personnel related costs, the cost to downsize its computing
and MIS structure, and a write-off of excess facilities and other
miscellaneous assets), principally resulting from
formation of IMC-Agrico Company (Note 2). See Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for information
about a reclassification of restructuring charges from those previously
reported resulting from views expressed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission staff.
Asset Sales/Recoverability. In 1993, FTX sold its ownership interest in a
nonproducing oil and gas property recognizing a gain of $69.1 million, and
FRP sold assets, primarily certain previously mined phosphate rock acreage
recognizing a gain of $11.8 million. FRP also sold its remaining interests
in producing geothermal properties for $63.5 million, consisting of $23.0
million in cash and interest-bearing notes totaling $40.5 million (included
in other assets), recognizing a $31.0 million charge to expense and
recording a $9.0 million charge for impairment of its undeveloped
geothermal properties.
FTX recognized expense of $105.0 million during
1993 for the recoverability of certain assets, primarily FRP's investments
in the non-Main Pass sulphur assets because of persistent weak market
conditions and the Main Pass oil investment caused by a fourth-quarter
decline in oil prices.

========== ===========
Notes Payable. In June 1993, FTX amended its credit agreement (the Credit
Agreement) to extend its maturity and to include PT-FI as a borrower. The
Credit Agreement is structured as a three year revolving line of credit
followed by a 3 1/2 year reducing revolver. The Credit Agreement is part
of an $800.0 million committed credit facility subject to a borrowing base,
redetermined annually by the banks, which establishes maximum consolidated
debt for FTX. As of December 31, 1993, $547.5 million was available under
the current borrowing base and $412.0 million of borrowings were unused
under the credit facility.
FTX guarantees any borrowings under the Credit Agreement and is required to
retain control of FRP and PT-FI. Under certain circumstances FTX could be
required to pledge a portion of its equity in FCX and FRP. PT-FI also
assigned its existing and future sales contracts and pledged its rights
under the New COW and its accounts receivable and other assets as security
for its borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement
provides for working capital requirements, specified coverage of fixed
charges, and restrictions on other borrowings.
RTM has several short-term credit facilities with banks. The stated rates
of interest on these loans range from 3.7 percent to 13 percent. RTM has
pledged certain of its assets as security for these loans.
Publicly Traded Notes and Debentures. Beginning in 1996 FTX may redeem its
10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures at principal plus accrued interest.
Annual sinking fund payments of $20.4 million, plus accrued interest, begin
in 1997. Based on the December 31, 1993 closing market price, this debt
had a market value of $132.6 million.
In February 1991, FTX issued $373.0
million of 6.55% Convertible Subordinated Notes convertible into 44.64
shares of FTX common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to a
conversion price of $22.40 per FTX share). FTX may redeem these notes for
cash at 89.75 percent of principal (increasing ratably to 100 percent over
the term of the notes) plus accrued interest. Based on the December 31,
1993 closing market price, this debt had a market value of $344.1 million.
In August 1991, FTX sold $750.0 million face amount of Zero Coupon
Convertible Subordinated Debentures convertible, at the holder's option,
into 13.21 shares of FTX common stock per $1,000 principal amount (subject
to adjustment in certain events), with FTX having the right to pay cash in
lieu of all or part of such FTX common stock. FTX may redeem these
debentures for cash at the issue price plus accrued original issue
discount. The debentures have a contingent payment feature (if the market
price of FTX common stock exceeds certain specified amounts) payable in FTX
common stock, cash or a combination of both, at FTX's option. The
debentures contain purchase rights at the holder's option, as of August 5,
1996 or 2001, at the issue price plus accrued original issue discount.
Based on the December 31, 1993 closing market price, this debt had a market
value of $246.5 million.
In July 1991, FCX sold $1.035 billion face amount
of Zero Coupon Exchangeable Subordinated Notes. The net proceeds were
loaned to PT-FI under similar terms. During 1993 and 1992, $322.6 million
and $326.4 million face amount of these notes were exchanged for which FCX
issued 4.8 million shares of its Class A common stock in 1993 and 4.5
million shares of its Class A common stock and paid $7.9 million in cash in
1992, with FTX recognizing a pretax gain of $44.1 million in 1993 and $33.8
million in 1992. The remaining $386.0 million face amount of notes were
exchanged for 5.8 million shares of FCX Class A common stock in January
1994. As a result of the issuance by FCX of its Class A common stock, PT-
FI issued shares of its stock to FCX (Note 2).
RTM Gold and Silver Denominated Loans. RTM has loans payable with 107,800
ounces of gold (9,200 ounces payable quarterly) and 953,100 ounces of
silver (105,900 ounces payable quarterly) carried at the market price of
gold ($331.70 per ounce) and silver ($3.70 per ounce) at the date of FCX's
acquisition. The loans are accounted for as a hedge. Interest is
calculated on the outstanding ounces at the current prices on the date of
payment. Based on the December 31, 1993 LME quotes for gold and silver,
this debt had a market value of approximately $47 million.
Interest Rate Swaps. FTX has an 8.2 percent interest rate exchange
agreement on $150.0 million of financing until April 1996. FTX and FRP
also have agreements fixing the interest rate on $77.9 million of financing
at an average of 10.2 percent through 1999. PT-FI has an 8.3 percent
interest rate exchange agreement on $85.7 million of financing at December
31, 1993, reducing $14.3 million annually through 1999. Based on market
conditions at December 31, 1993, unwinding these interest swaps would cost
an estimated $34.1 million.
Capitalized Interest. Capitalized interest totaled $62.2 million in 1993,
$84.7 million in 1992, and $67.3 million in 1991.
Minimum Principal Payments. The minimum principal payments for debt
scheduled for each of the five succeeding years based on the amounts
outstanding at December 31, 1993, assuming the terms of the Credit
Agreement are not extended, are $49.3 million in 1994, $19.6 million in
1995, $68.9 million in 1996, $141.0 million in 1997, and $184.6 million in
1998.
6. INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1992, FTX adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, the new accounting standard for
income taxes. The cumulative adjustment to taxes and the impact on 1992
earnings from operations were not material. The components of the net
deferred tax asset (included in other assets) and liability were as
follows:

</TABLE>
The net deferred tax asset is from FTX's domestic operations whereas
the net deferred tax liability relates to PT-FI's operations. Recognition
of a deferred tax asset is dependent upon FTX's evaluation that it is more
likely than not that it will ultimately be realized from future income
generated by its domestic operations. FTX believes that no valuation
allowance is needed for its net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and
alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits because historically it has been able
to utilize substantially all of its tax benefits and tax-planning
strategies are available that would enable it to utilize these deferred tax
assets; the NOL carryforwards do not expire until the years 2007 and 2008,
and the AMT credits can be carried forward indefinitely. FTX has provided
a valuation allowance for the other tax credit and charitable contribution
carryforwards as they would be utilized subsequent to the NOL carryforwards
and AMT credits and substantially all expire between 1994 and 2000. A
valuation allowance has been provided at FCX for all foreign tax and AMT
credits, as these would only be utilized should FCX be required to pay
regular U.S. tax, which FTX views as unlikely because Indonesian taxes
exceed U.S. taxes. In addition, RTM, which is subject to a separate tax
jurisdiction (Spain), has NOL carryforwards totaling approximately $108
million ($91 million pre-acquisition) which expire from 1994 to 1998. FTX
has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of these
carryforwards as RTM has not generated taxable income in recent years.
FTX does not provide deferred taxes for certain financial and income
tax reporting differences related to FCX and FRP which are considered
permanent in duration. These differences resulted primarily from gains
recognized for financial reporting purposes upon the sale of FCX shares and
FRP units. As of December 31, 1993, these basis differences were
approximately $185 million for FCX and $216 million for FRP. If ownership
in these subsidiaries falls below 50 percent, FTX would be required to
charge earnings for taxes on the difference between the book and tax basis
of its investment.
The provision (credit) for income taxes consists of the following:

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock. FTX's $1.875 Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, each with a $25 liquidation value, is convertible at the
holder's option into FTX common stock at $10.91 per share.
In March 1992, FTX issued 5.0 million shares of $4.375 Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, each with a $50 liquidation value,
convertible into FTX common stock at a conversion price of $23.46 per
share. Beginning March 1, 1997, FTX may redeem this preferred stock for
cash at $52.1875 per share (declining ratably to $50 per share in March
2002) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Common Stock. FTX has a regular annual cash dividend of $1.25 per share.
FTX's 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures contain a restriction on the
payment of cash dividends and capital stock purchases ($108.8 million
available as of December 31, 1993). This amount will be increased by
future earnings and FTX stock issuances, and will be decreased by future
dividend payments, losses, and FTX stock purchases.
Stock Options. FTX's stock option plans provide for the issuance of stock
options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) at no less than market value
at time of grant. The 1992 Stock Option Plan authorizes FTX to grant
options to employees to purchase up to 8.0 million shares, including SARs,
and under the 1992 Stock Incentive Unit Plan up to 1.5 million stock
incentive units (SIUs), which are similar to SARs, may be granted to
employees. The 1988 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
authorizes FTX to grant options to purchase up to 1.5 million shares.
Under certain options, FTX will pay cash to the optionee equal to an amount
based on the maximum individual federal income tax rate in effect at the
time of exercise. Generally, stock options terminate 10 years from the
date of grant. A summary of stock options outstanding, including SARs and
SIUs, follows:

At December 31, 1993, stock options representing 8.4 million shares
were exercisable at an average option price of $17.23 per share. Options
for 2.1 million shares, .8 million shares, and 1.2 million shares were
available for new grants under the 1992 and 1988 Stock Option Plans and the
1992 SIU plan, respectively, as of December 31, 1993.
8. PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The FTX pension plan covers substantially all United States and certain
overseas employees, excluding employees covered by collective bargaining
agreements and most nonresident aliens, many of whom are covered by other
plans. Benefits are based on compensation levels and years of service.
FTX funds its pension liability in accordance with Internal Revenue Service
guidelines. Additionally, for those participants in the qualified defined
benefit plan whose benefits are limited under federal income tax laws, FTX
sponsors an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Information on the plans follows:

In determining the present value of benefit obligations for 1993 and
1992, FTX used a 7 percent and 8.5 percent discount rate, a 5 percent rate
of increase in future compensation levels, and a 9 percent average expected
rate of return on assets, respectively.
Net pension cost includes the following:

RTM has a contractual obligation to supplement the amounts paid to
retired employees. Based on an assumed discount rate of 8 percent, the
liability accrued for such payments totaled $79.4 million at December 31,
1993 ($76.6 million for retirees and $2.8 million for current employees).
Since the initial acquisition, RTM has recorded expense of $5.2 million
compared with cash payments of $8.0 million. This obligation is unfunded.
The operator of IMC-Agrico Company maintains non-contributory pension
plans that cover substantially all of its employees who perform services
for IMC-Agrico Company. As of July 1, 1993, the actuarial present value of
the vested projected benefit obligation was $10.1 million based on a
discount rate of 8.5 percent and a 5 percent rate of increase in future
compensation levels. As of December 31, 1993, no funding of such plans had
occurred. FRP's share of the expense related to these plans totaled $1.5
million for 1993.
FTX provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees. Effective January 1, 1991, FTX adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (FAS 106) requiring current accrual
for postretirement benefits other than pensions, recording a $125.1 million
charge as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. The FAS 106
expense totaled $12.4 million in 1993 ($1.9 million for service cost and
$10.5 million in interest for prior period services), $12.5 million in 1992
($1.6 million for current year service cost and $10.9 million in interest
for prior period services), and $12.6 million in 1991 ($2.0 million for
current year service cost and $10.6 million in interest for prior period
services). Summary information of the plan is as follows:
December 31,

Actuarial present value of accumulated
postretirement obligation:
Retirees $118,418 $ 93,611

Unrecognized net loss (14,237) (6,254)
-------- --------
Accrued postretirement benefit cost $132,330 $131,501
======== ========
In determining the FAS 106 amounts, FTX used an initial health care
cost trend rate of 11.5 percent for 1993 (12 percent for 1992), decreasing
1/2 percent per year until reaching 6 percent. A 1 percent increase in the
trend rate would increase the FAS 106 amounts by approximately 10 percent.
The discount rate used was 7 percent in 1993 and 8.5 percent in 1992. FTX
has the right to modify or terminate these benefits.
The operator of IMC-Agrico Company will provide certain health care
benefits for future retired employees. At July 1, 1993, the accumulated
postretirement obligation was $16.6 million, which was unfunded, with FRP's
share of FAS 106 expense being $.4 million. In determining the FAS 106
amounts, the initial health care trend cost rate used was 15 percent,
decreasing gradually to 5.5 percent in 2003 and thereafter, and the
discount rate used was 8.5 percent. Employees are not vested and such
benefits are subject to change.
FTX has an Employee Capital Accumulation Program which permits
eligible employees to defer a portion of their pretax earnings. FTX also
has an unfunded excess benefits plan for employees to defer amounts in
excess of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. FTX
matches employee deferrals up to 5 percent of basic earnings through an
investment in FTX common shares. FTX has other employee benefits plans,
certain of which are related to Company performance, which costs are
recognized currently in general and administrative expense. The cost of
these plans, reflecting the varying level of FTX earnings, totaled $7.6
million in 1993, $15.9 million in 1992, and $11.3 million in 1991.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. While FTX is a defendant in various lawsuits incurred in the
ordinary course of its businesses, management believes the potential
liability in such lawsuits is not material or is adequately covered by
insurance, third party indemnity agreements or reserves previously
established. FTX maintains liability and other insurance customary in its
businesses, with coverage limits deemed prudent.
Sulphur Tanker. During 1991, one of FRP's sulphur tankers ran aground
resulting in a constructive loss and a $17.7 million insurance settlement
gain. FRP has an agreement whereby beginning in mid-1994 a third party
will provide and operate a replacement sulphur tanker for at least fifteen
years for minimum annual payments of $12.8 million.
Infrastructure Asset Sales. During 1993, FCX entered into a joint venture
agreement with P.T. ALatieF Nusakarya Corporation (ALatieF), an Indonesian
investor, which provides for the sale of certain portions of the to-be-
constructed infrastructure assets and certain existing assets by PT-FI to a
joint venture or ventures (the ALatieF Joint Venture) owned one-third by
PT-FI and two-thirds by ALatieF for total consideration of $270.0 million.
The acquired assets will be made available to PT-FI and its employees and
designees under arrangements which will provide the ALatieF Joint Venture
with a guaranteed minimum rate of return on its investment. Funding of the
ALatieF Joint Venture is expected to be provided by $90.0 million in equity
contributions from the ALatieF Joint Venture partners and $180.0 million in
debt financing, which is expected to be guaranteed by PT-FI, FCX or both.
The sale of the first group of assets to the ALatieF Joint Venture was
completed in December 1993 for a price of $90.0 million. The sale was
partially financed with a $60.0 million medium-term loan facility which is
guaranteed by PT-FI. The variable rate loan has a 5 percent per year
amortization with a balloon payment after five years. The ALatieF Joint
Venture is consolidated and no gain or loss was recorded on the sale. The
sales which are anticipated for 1994 and later are subject to the execution
of definitive agreements and certain Indonesian governmental approvals.
In December 1993, PT-FI announced the execution of a Letter of Intent
with Duke Energy Corp. (Duke Energy), a wholly owned affiliate of Duke
Power Company, and PowerLink Corporation (PowerLink), a subsidiary of
Northstar Energy Corporation, pursuant to which PT-FI would sell its
existing and to-be-constructed power generation and transmission assets and
certain other power-related assets to a joint venture (the Power Joint
Venture) whose ownership consists of Duke Energy (30 percent), PowerLink
(30 percent), PT-FI (30 percent), and an Indonesian investor (10 percent).
The total value of the transaction is estimated at $200 million and is
expected to be concluded in two phases. The first sale, representing the
existing assets, is expected to exceed $100 million and to occur in mid-
1994. The final sale, representing the to-be-constructed expansion-related
assets, is expected to occur during the first half of 1995. Under the
agreement, the Power Joint Venture will own these assets and be responsible
for providing the electrical power services required by PT-FI at its
mining, milling, and support operations in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, including
the power services required for the expansion of ore throughput to 115,000
metric tons of ore milled per day. The transaction is subject to the
execution of definitive agreements between PT-FI and the Power Joint
Venture, financing, and certain Indonesian governmental approvals.
PT-FI is proceeding with plans to sell other non-operating assets
under terms whereby the purchaser will operate the assets and provide
services to PT-FI and its employees and designees.
Environmental. FTX has made, and will continue to make, expenditures at
its operations for protection of the environment. FTX is subject to
contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations. The
related future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown
timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required and the
application of joint and several liability. However, FTX believes that
such costs will not have a material adverse effect on its operations or
financial position.
As part of FRP's 1987 acquisition of certain fertilizer assets, the
seller agreed to indemnify FRP for any environmental costs in excess of an
aggregate $5.0 million on certain identified sites. FRP accrued the $5.0
million at the time of acquisition. The seller has assumed control of
these sites, and based on management's review of the potential liabilities
and the seller's financial condition, FRP concluded that it is remote that
FRP would have any additional liability. FTX believes its exposure on
other domestic abandoned environmental sites will not exceed amounts
accrued and expects that any costs would be incurred over a period of
years.
FTX believes it is in compliance with all applicable Indonesian
environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Based on current Indonesian
environmental regulations, eventual mine closure and reclamation costs, at
the mine in Irian Jaya, is not expected to be material.
RTM's capital expenditures for 1994 are expected to include
approximately $18 million to modify its sulphuric acid plants, including
expanding their capacity, to comply with certain environmental standards in
Spain. Additionally, at December 31, 1993 FCX had an accrual of $10.3
million related to RTM's impending mine closure and the eventual closure of
its smelter.
Long-Term Contracts and Operating Leases. At December 31, 1993, RTM had
purchase commitments totaling $25.6 million related to the expansion of its
smelter. In addition, it had commitments to purchase concentrate from
third parties (excluding PT-FI) of 305,000 metric tons in 1994, 295,000
metric tons in 1995, 260,000 metric tons in 1996, 140,000 metric tons in
1997, and a total of 580,000 metric tons from 1998-2002, at then market
prices. During 1993, PT-FI supplied RTM with approximately 90,000 metric
tons of copper concentrate and is expected to supply approximately 150,000
metric tons in 1994, providing for approximately 20 percent and 33 percent,
respectively, of RTM's requirements in those years. Beginning in 1996, PT-
FI is expected to provide RTM with approximately one-half of its copper
concentrate requirements.
FTX's minimum annual contractual charges under noncancellable long-
term contracts and operating leases which expire during the period 1994 to
2009 totals $378.4 million, with $42.7 million in 1994, $47.9 million in
1995, $32.6 million in 1996, $29.3 million in 1997, and $28.7 million in
1998. Total rental expense under long-term contracts and operating leases
amounted to $43.0 million, $31.4 million, and $31.4 million in 1993, 1992,
and 1991, respectively.
10. SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FTX's business segments consist of the following: Metals, which includes
FCX's Indonesian copper/gold operations and the RTM smelting operations in
Spain; Agricultural Minerals, which includes FRP's fertilizer and sulphur
businesses; and Energy, which includes the oil and gas operations of FTX
and FRP, and the uranium operations of FRP. The Company's foreign
operations are primarily conducted by FCX.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the Company) is responsible for the preparation of
the financial statements and all other information contained in this Annual
Report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that are based
on management's informed judgments and estimates.
The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
designed to provide reasonable assurance at reasonable costs that assets
are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use, and that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded and
summarized properly. The system is tested and evaluated on a regular basis
by the Company's internal auditors. In accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the Company's independent public accountants have
developed an overall understanding of our accounting and financial controls
and have conducted other tests as they consider necessary to support their
opinion on the financial statements.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee composed solely of
non-employee directors, is responsible for overseeing the integrity and
reliability of the Company's accounting and financial reporting practices
and the effectiveness of its system of internal controls. The independent
public accountants and internal auditors meet regularly with, and have
access to, this committee, with and without management present, to discuss
the results of their audit work.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
(the Company), a Delaware Corporation, and consolidated subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of operations, cash
flow and stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of IMC-Agrico Company (the Joint Venture). The
Company's share of the Joint Venture constitutes 22 percent of assets and
14 percent of revenues of the Company's totals as of December 31, 1993 and
the year then ended, respectively. Those statements were audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as
it relates to the amounts included for the Company's interest in the Joint
Venture, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and consolidated
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the results of its
operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Notes 8, 6, and 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, effective January 1, 1991, the Company changed its method of
accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, effective
January 1, 1992, changed its method of accounting for income taxes, and
effective January 1, 1993, changed its method of accounting for periodic
scheduled maintenance costs, deferred charges, and costs of management
information systems.

RE: FORM 10-K REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
This letter is written to meet the requirements of Regulation S-K
calling for a letter from a registrant's independent accountants
whenever there has been a change in accounting principle or practice.
We have been informed that, as of January 1, 1993, Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
(FTX) changed its methods of accounting for the following items:
1. TURNAROUNDS - the accounting for maintenance turnarounds was changed
from the deferral method to the direct expense method. Previously,
FTX deferred costs related to periodic scheduled maintenance
(turnarounds) when incurred and amortized them on a straight-line
basis, generally over six months to two years until the next
scheduled turnaround. According to the management of FTX, this
change was made to conform FTX's policy with that which is followed
by IMC-Agrico Company, a joint venture to which substantially all of
FTX's phosphate fertilizer production assets were contributed on July
1, 1993.
2. DEFERRED CHARGES - the accounting for deferred charges was changed to
provide for deferral of only those costs that directly relate to the
acquisition, construction and development of assets and to the
issuance of debt and related instruments. Previously, certain other
costs which benefitted future periods were deferred and amortized
over the period benefitted. According to FTX management, they
believe this change provides a better measure of operating results.
In addition, the administrative costs of accounting for assets will
be reduced by not deferring any relatively insignificant expenditures
that do not have a material effect on measuring periodic net income.
3. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MIS) COSTS - Costs of MIS equipment
and software that have a material impact on periodic measurement of
net income are capitalized and amortized over their estimated
productive lives. Other MIS costs, including equipment and purchased
software that involve relatively immaterial amounts (currently
individual expenditures of less than $500,000) and short estimated
productive lives (currently less than three years) are charged to
expense when incurred. Previously, most expenditures for MIS
equipment and purchased software were capitalized. The accounting
for MIS costs was changed to recognize the rapid rate of change in
MIS, which results in short productive lives of equipment and
software and a need for continuing investments. Generally within a
two-to-three year period, if such hardware has not been replaced,
significant upgrades will have been required. Within two years,
maintenance costs on existing equipment often equals or exceeds
replacement cost. Software is subject to constant modification to
meet the needs of the changing hardware environment, as well as the
changing business environment. Reasonable business judgement is
required in determining appropriate application of accounting
principles, including judgement regarding the cost and the
materiality of the impact of accounting precision.
A complete coordinated set of financial and reporting standards for
determining the preferability of accounting principles among acceptable
alternative principles has not been established by the accounting
profession for the items referred to above. Thus, we cannot make an
objective determination of whether the changes in accounting described
in the preceding paragraph are to preferable methods. However, we have
reviewed the pertinent factors, including those related to financial
reporting, in these particular cases on a subjective basis, and our
opinion stated below is based on our determination made in this manner.
We are of the opinion that FTX's changes in methods of accounting are to
acceptable alternative methods of accounting, which, based upon the
reasons stated above for the respective changes (including the costs and
benefits of alternative principles and the related materiality of the
application thereof) and our discussions with you, are also preferable
under the circumstances in these particular cases. In arriving at this
opinion, we have relied on the business judgement and business planning
of your management.
Very truly yours,

INTRODUCTION
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership ("FRP"), a
Delaware limited partnership organized in 1986, participates in one of the
largest and lowest cost phosphate fertilizer producers in the world through
its joint venture interest in IMC-Agrico Company, a Delaware general
partnership ("IMC-Agrico"). IMC-Agrico's business includes the mining and
sale of phosphate rock, the production, distribution and sale of phosphate
fertilizers, and the extraction of uranium oxide from phosphoric acid. FRP's
business also includes exploration for and mining, transportation and sale of
sulphur, and the development and production of oil reserves at Main Pass Block
299 ("Main Pass"), offshore Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. For information
with respect to industry segments, including export sales and major customers,
reference is made to Note 8 to the financial statements of FRP referred to on
page F-1 hereof (the "FRP Financial Statements").
On July 1, 1993, FRP and IMC Fertilizer, Inc. ("IMC")
contributed their respective phosphate fertilizer businesses, including the
mining and sale of phosphate rock and the production, distribution and sale
of phosphate chemicals, uranium oxide and related products, to IMC-Agrico.
As a result of the formation of IMC-Agrico, FRP expects that it and IMC
together will be able to achieve by the middle of 1995 at least $95 million
per year of savings in aggregate production costs and selling,
administrative and general expenses. In addition, FRP believes that the
location of several of the IMC-Agrico manufacturing and storage facilities
on the Mississippi River gives IMC-Agrico a competitive advantage over
other fertilizer producers in transporting fertilizers to the U.S.
farmbelt.
FRP has completed development of the Main Pass sulphur and oil
reserves which it discovered in 1988 and in which it has a 58.3% interest.
Sulphur production at minimal levels began during the second quarter of
1992. Sulphur production achieved full design operating rates of 5,500
long tons per day (approximately 2 million long tons per year) on schedule
in December 1993, and has since sustained production at or above that
level. (See "Sulphur Business - Production" under "Agricultural Minerals"
below.) Oil production commenced in the fourth quarter of 1991 and
averaged approximately 19,400 barrels per day during 1993. (See "Oil"
below.)
The Managing General Partners and the Special General Partners of
FRP are Freeport-McMoRan Inc. ("FTX"*) and FMRP Inc. ("FMRP"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of FTX. The current capitalization of FRP consists of an
aggregate 1% basic general partnership interest (the "FRP Basic Interest"),
units of limited partnership interest ("FRP Units") of which a portion is
deposited with Mellon Bank, N.A., as depositary units ("FRP Depositary
Units"), and additional units of general partnership interest ("FRP Unit
Equivalents"). FRP Depositary Units are listed and publicly traded on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Unless otherwise indicated, FRP Units,
FRP Depositary Units and FRP Unit Equivalents are sometimes hereinafter
referred to, individually and collectively, as "Partnership Units".
Including the FRP Basic Interest, FTX and FMRP, as of March 10,
1994, held Partnership Units representing an approximate 51.31% interest in
FRP, with the remaining interest being publicly owned and traded on the
NYSE. The public unitholders are entitled, through the cash distribution
for the fourth quarter of 1996, to receive minimum quarterly distributions
prior to any distribution on the partnership units held by FTX and FMRP.
Prior to the completion of Main Pass, FRP pursued a policy of funding the
cash distribution to unitholders from asset sales and borrowings under its
Credit Agreement, in addition to distributable cash from operations.
However, with the completion of the Main Pass development, FRP no longer
intends to supplement distributable cash with borrowings. For additional
information with respect to FRP distributions, reference is made to Note 3
to the FRP Financial Statements.
Fertiberia, S.L. ("Fertiberia"), a Spanish corporation, is the
successor through bankruptcy - reorganization proceedings to the
reorganized phosphate and nitrogen fertilizer businesses of FESA
Fertilizantes Espanoles, S.A. ("FESA"), formerly the principal
manufacturer of chemical fertilizers in Spain. On September 28, 1993
Freeport-McMoRan Management Services, S.A. ("FMMS"), an affiliate of FRP,
entered into a Management Agreement with Fertiberia pursuant to which FMMS
agreed to direct the management of all phases of Fertiberia's fertilizer
business for a one-year period in return for reimbursement of FMMS's costs.
FRP also entered into an Investment Agreement with FESA, whereby if FRP
determines during the same one-year period that Fertiberia is financially
viable and able to generate an adequate return to shareholders, FRP will
make an equity investment in Fertiberia and acquire a controlling interest
in Fertiberia. The terms of the investment will be negotiated by FRP and
FESA. If FRP determines that Fertiberia is not viable, it will have no
further obligation with respect to Fertiberia.
MANAGEMENT
As provided in the FRP partnership agreement, limited partners
may not take part in the management of FRP. FTX, as Administrative
Managing General Partner, exercises all management powers over the business
and affairs of FRP.
FRP does not have directors. Instead, directors and officers of
FTX, along with FRP's officers, perform all FRP management functions and
carry out the activities of FRP. Such officers of FRP continue to be
employees or officers of FTX or its subsidiaries, but, subject to certain
exceptions, are employed principally for the operation of FRP's businesses.
Pursuant to the FRP partnership agreement, FTX also furnishes general
executive, administrative, financial, accounting, legal, environmental,
tax, research and development, sales and certain other services to FRP and
is reimbursed by FRP for all direct and indirect costs in connection
therewith. FTX and FMRP Inc. do not receive any compensation as general
partners of FRP. For additional information with respect to management,
reference is made to Note 6 to the FRP Financial Statements.
AGRICULTURAL MINERALS
FRP's agricultural minerals segment consists of FRP's interest in
the IMC-Agrico fertilizer business and FRP's sulphur business.
Fertilizer Business
IMC-Agrico Company
On July 1, 1993, FRP and IMC contributed their respective
phosphate fertilizer businesses, including the mining and sale of phosphate
rock and the production, distribution and sale of phosphate chemicals,
uranium oxide and related products, to IMC-Agrico. At the time, FRP and
IMC were among the largest integrated phosphate fertilizer producers in the
world and both were among the lowest cost producers. As a result of the
formation of IMC-Agrico, FRP expects that it and IMC together will be able
to achieve by the middle of 1995 at least $95 million per year of savings
in aggregate production costs and selling, administrative and general
expenses. Under the IMC-Agrico Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement"), IMC-Agrico will distribute quarterly to the Partners
Distributable Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, based on
sharing ratios that vary from year to year for the first five fiscal years
ending June 30, 1998, and are based on the parties' initial projections of
their respective contributions to the cash flow of IMC-Agrico and on an
equal sharing of the anticipated synergistic savings. For further
information, see Note 2 to the FRP Financial Statements.
IMC holds its interest in IMC-Agrico through a special purpose
Delaware corporation (the "IMC Partner"), and FRP holds its interest in
IMC-Agrico through a special purpose Delaware limited partnership (the "FRP
Partner"). The managing partner of IMC-Agrico is a Delaware corporation
which is jointly owned by the IMC Partner and the FRP Partner, but as to
which the IMC Partner has the right to elect a majority of the directors in
the absence of a Material Breach Event, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement. IMC-Agrico is governed by a policy committee (the "Policy
Committee") with equal representation from the IMC Partner and the FRP
Partner, which establishes policies relating to the strategic direction of
IMC-Agrico and assures that such policies are implemented. The Policy
Committee has the sole authority to make certain Major Decisions, as
defined in the Partnership Agreement, including the creation of major
indebtedness, major acquisitions and dispositions, and approval of budgets,
subject to the authority of the Chief Executive Officers of the FRP Partner
and the IMC Partner to resolve disputes.
Phosphate Rock
IMC-Agrico mines phosphate rock in Florida for both internal
production of phosphoric acid at plants in Florida and Louisiana and
phosphate rock sales to external customers under long-term contracts and in
the spot market. The rock is reacted with sulphuric acid, produced in part
from sulphur from Main Pass, to provide phosphoric acid which is then
further processed at IMC-Agrico's fertilizer plants. IMC-Agrico's annual
phosphate rock capacity is approximately 31.5 million tons per year and
accounts for approximately 55% of U.S. phosphate rock capacity and 15% of
world capacity. The phosphate rock mines contributed by FRP and IMC to
IMC-Agrico produced 22.3 million tons of phosphate rock in fiscal year
ended June 30, 1993 compared to a total production by U.S. phosphate mines
of 45.1 million tons of phosphate rock.
IMC-Agrico's phosphate mining operations and production plants
are located in Polk, Hillsborough, Hardee and Manatee Counties in central
Florida. Production has been at less than full capacity because of reduced
demand and actions to control inventory. IMC-Agrico's Kingsford mine was
idled in May 1993 due to weak market conditions. In February 1994, IMC-
Agrico restarted Kingsford in order to meet product grade specifications of
existing phosphate rock supply contracts. In July 1993, IMC-Agrico had
temporarily reduced phosphate rock mining operations at Four Corners, its
largest mine, in conjunction with its temporary curtailment of diammonium
phosphate ("DAP") production; however, in January 1994, Four Corner mine
increased production in conjunction with the restart of IMC-Agrico's Taft
plant in December 1993. See "Phosphate Chemicals" below. In October 1993,
IMC-Agrico reopened its Clear Springs mine and idled its Payne Creek mine
for operational reasons. IMC-Agrico's results of operations will not be
materially affected by the idling of the Payne Creek phosphate rock mine
because the product previously produced at this mine is being produced at
other mines. IMC-Agrico also leases, under a long-term contract, two
phosphate rock processing plants from Brewster Phosphates. The annual
capacity of these two plants is approximately 5 million tons. Until
recently, one of the two plants was operated for screening pebble products,
while the second plant remains closed indefinitely subject to improved
market conditions.
As of December 31, 1993, FRP, through IMC-Agrico, had proved and
probable reserves of 215.2 million tons, plus an additional 196.1 million
tons of phosphate rock deposits. (Deposits are ore bodies which require
additional economic and mining feasibility studies before they can be
classified as reserves.) For information with respect to FRP's phosphate
rock reserves, reference is made to Note 9 to the FRP Financial Statements.
For information concerning FRP's sales of phosphate rock, see "Selected
Financial and Operating Data" on page 13 of FRP's 1993 Annual Report to
unitholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
On December 31, 1993, FRP concluded the sale of approximately
3,500 acres of phosphate mining land in Polk County, Florida to Tampa
Electric Company, a public utility, for an aggregate purchase price of
$12.5 million, plus interest from the date of the initial agreement. The
buyer will assume FRP's reclamation obligations on the land, resulting in
substantial savings to FRP. FRP reported a gain of $10.7 million in 1993
related to this sale. This previously mined land is an example of the
conversion of former phosphate mining lands to industrial use. This
transaction is not necessarily indicative of values that may be achieved in
subsequent transactions.
Phosphate Chemicals
IMC-Agrico manufactures fertilizer and related products,
including sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, granulated phosphates
(principally DAP, monoammonium phosphate ("MAP") and granular triple
superphosphate ("GTSP")), anhydrous ammonia and urea. IMC-Agrico's
fertilizer operations consist of six plants, three in central Florida and
three on the Mississippi River in Louisiana.
IMC-Agrico's plants located in Florida consist of New Wales,
Nichols and South Pierce. The New Wales plant, located near Mulberry,
Florida, has facilities for the production of sulphuric acid, phosphoric
acid, DAP, MAP and GTSP. Currently idled, the Nichols facility, located at
Nichols, Florida, has facilities for the production of sulphuric acid,
phosphoric acid and DAP. Nichols was idled in May 1993 in response to
extremely depressed market conditions. However, in March 1994, due to
improving market conditions, IMC-Agrico announced that it would resume
production at the Nichols facility in May 1994. South Pierce, located at
Bartow, Florida, has facilities for the production of sulphuric acid,
phosphoric acid, GTSP and technical grade DAP and MAP for industrial uses.
IMC-Agrico's Faustina, Uncle Sam and Taft plants are located in
Louisiana. The Faustina plant, located at Donaldsonville, Louisiana, has
facilities for the production of anhydrous ammonia, urea, sulphuric acid,
phosphoric acid, DAP and MAP. The Uncle Sam plant, located at Uncle Sam,
Louisiana, has facilities for the production of sulphuric acid and
phosphoric acid. The Taft plant, located at Taft, Louisiana, has
facilities for the manufacture of DAP and MAP. The Taft plant, idled in
July 1993, was restarted in December 1993.
IMC-Agrico's plants have an estimated annual sustainable capacity
to produce 530,000 tons of anhydrous ammonia, 260,000 tons of urea,
approximately 10.4 million tons of sulphuric acid, and approximately 8.2
million tons of granulated phosphates. IMC-Agrico's phosphoric acid
capacity is approximately 4.0 million tons of contained P205*,
approximately 32% of U.S. production capacity and 11% of world capacity.
With significant production curtailments in 1993, IMC-Agrico and the assets
contributed to IMC-Agrico by the Company and IMC produced approximately 8.5
million tons of sulphuric acid, 3.3 million tons of phosphoric acid, and
6.4 million tons of granulated phosphates.
Phosphate rock, sulphur and ammonia are the three principal raw
materials used in the production of phosphate chemicals. Phosphate rock is
supplied by IMC-Agrico's Florida mines. FRP and IMC both have interests in
a joint venture which began mining sulphur reserves at Main Pass in April
1992. FRP continues to operate the Main Pass joint venture through
Freeport Sulphur Company ("FSC"), its sulphur division. FRP and IMC
entered into an agreement to supply IMC-Agrico with its sulphur
requirements. FRP supplies its share of the requirements through FSC. IMC
supplies its share of the requirements through its share of Main Pass
production and purchases from third parties. IMC-Agrico's ammonia needs
are fulfilled primarily by third party domestic suppliers under long-term
contracts and by internal production at its Faustina plant.
_____________
* P205 is an industry term indicating a product's phosphate content
measured chemically in units of phosphorous pentoxide.
Marketing
Since July 1, 1993, all fertilizer marketing functions for FRP
have been handled by IMC on behalf of IMC-Agrico. IMC-Agrico markets
products throughout the eastern two-thirds of the United States in the
domestic market and, primarily through the American Phosphate Export
Association ("Amphos"), a Webb-Pomerene association, overseas. Phoschem
and Phosrock, the primary units of Amphos, market phosphate chemical
fertilizers and phosphate rock, respectively, for IMC-Agrico and two U.S.
firms.
Since the formation of IMC-Agrico, IMC-Agrico had used
approximately 54% of its phosphate rock shipments at its plants in Florida
and Louisiana, with most of the balance being sold in the domestic market.
Approximately 53% of IMC-Agrico's granulated phosphate fertilizer shipments
in 1993 were sold in the domestic market, with the balance sold abroad.
Although phosphate fertilizer sales are fairly constant from
month to month, the largest sales periods occur prior to the fall and
spring planting of agricultural crops. Historically, domestic sales taper
off after the spring planting season but this drop in domestic sales occurs
at a time when major international buyers purchase product for mid-year
delivery.
World phosphate prices declined to a nearly 20 year low during
mid-1993, due to a number of factors, including a significant decline in
import demand by China, a sharp increase in U.S. producer held stocks of
finished phosphate fertilizers to record levels, intense competition in
offshore markets traditionally served by U.S. producers, particularly MAP
from the former Soviet Union, unsettled import policies in other key
overseas markets such as India and continued lower demand in Europe. As a
result, FRP's results in 1992 and 1993 have been adversely affected. FRP
believes that the price outlook for phosphate fertilizers has improved
substantially based in part on a return by China to the marketplace at more
traditional volume levels, a significant reduction in the stocks of
finished phosphate materials held by producers (in spite of a moderate
improvement in operating rates) and an improved domestic demand outlook for
this coming spring season due to last year's poor harvest caused by the
widespread flooding in the Midwest.
Uranium
The phosphate rock used in the production of phosphoric acid
contains small amounts of uranium. At its uranium extraction facilities,
IMC-Agrico extracts and processes uranium oxide ("yellowcake") as a by-
product of phosphoric acid. Production of yellowcake is dependent on the
quantity and uranium content of phosphoric acid produced by its host
plants. Yellowcake, after further processing, is used as a fuel by
electric utilities. Although IMC-Agrico has the capacity to extract
uranium oxide at several phosphoric acid plants, production has been
suspended at certain of the plants because of the depressed market price of
uranium oxide, and, at present, uranium does not significantly contribute
to IMC-Agrico's revenues.
Operating and Environmental Hazards
The production of fertilizers involves the handling of chemicals,
some of which may have the potential, if released in sufficient quantities,
to expose IMC-Agrico to certain liabilities. However, IMC-Agrico has a
program in place to minimize the potential for such releases. FRP, through
FTX, and IMC-Agrico carry insurance for certain of these risks, and
management believes that the types and limits of such insurance coverages
are adequate and consistent with prudent business practices.
Sulphur Business
FRP, through FSC, is involved in the exploration for and mining,
purchase, transportation, terminaling and sale of sulphur. Most of FRP's
sulphur assets are located in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana.
Production
During 1993, FRP produced sulphur from its Caminada and Main Pass
sulphur mines located in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The
Caminada and Main Pass mines utilize the Frasch Mining process, which
involves the drilling of wells and the injection of superheated water into
the underground sulphur deposit to melt the solid sulphur, which is then
brought to the surface in liquid form. FRP has been using the Frasch
process for over 80 years. FRP has also developed technology which allows
it to use sea water in the Frasch process. FRP is not aware of any other
company that has developed Frasch sulphur mines using superheated sea
water. For additional information with respect to FRP's sales, reference
is made to "Selected Financial and Operating Data" appearing on page 13 of
FRP's 1993 Annual Report to unitholders, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
Main Pass, discovered by FRP in 1988, currently has the highest
production rate of any sulphur mine in the world and the largest existing
Frasch sulphur reserve in North America. The Main Pass offshore complex,
more than a mile in length, is one of the largest structures of its type in
the world and the largest in the Gulf of Mexico. The Main Pass mine, which
began initial production at minimal levels in the second quarter of 1992,
is estimated to contain proved recoverable sulphur reserves totaling 66.2
million long tons (38.6 million long tons net to FRP) at December 31, 1993.
The mine is owned 58.3% by FRP, 25% by IMC and 16.7% by Homestake Sulphur
Company ("Homestake"). The development and production of the Main Pass
reserves are being conducted by FTX, through FSC, on behalf of FRP, as
operator of the Main Pass joint venture, pursuant to a management services
agreement. At Main Pass, sulphur production reached design production
capacity of 5,500 long tons per day (approximately 2 million long tons per
year) on schedule in December 1993 and has since sustained production at or
above that level. Main Pass is subject to a 12.5% federal royalty based on
net mine revenues.
Because of the significant improvements in Main Pass sulphur
production, declining production rates at Caminada and falling sulphur
prices, the marginally profitable Caminada operation ceased in January
1994. The shutdown of Caminada will have no significant impact on FRP's
reported earnings.
The primary fuel source at Main Pass is natural gas. A contract
with an initial term of 20 years has been executed for the purchase of
natural gas at market based prices.
FRP currently supplements its sulphur production by purchasing
from third party sources. A significant quantity of this sulphur is
purchased from companies which recover sulphur in the production of oil and
natural gas and the refining of petroleum products.
For information with respect to FRP's sulphur reserves, reference
is made to Note 9 to the FRP Financial Statements.
Marketing
The sulphur produced by FRP is transported by barge to its
storage, handling and shipping facilities located at Port Sulphur,
Louisiana, where recovered sulphur purchased from others or transported for
others may also be received. Sulphur is transported from Port Sulphur by
barge to IMC-Agrico and customer plants on the Mississippi River and by
tanker to FRP's terminal at Tampa, Florida. Similar facilities at
Pensacola, Florida, and Galveston, Texas, are used for storage, handling
and shipping of sulphur purchased from others or transported for others.
FRP also processes and transports for a fee both IMC's and Homestake's
share of Main Pass sulphur and serves as marketing agent for Homestake.
FRP's sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid,
which, in turn, is primarily used to produce phosphoric acid, the basic
material for the production of phosphate fertilizers. The phosphate
fertilizer industry, including the IMC-Agrico phosphate facilities,
accounts for approximately 92% of FRP's total sulphur sales. A small
number of companies consume a large portion of the total sulphur consumed
in the United States. Substantially all of the sulphur sold by FRP is
supplied under contracts having a term of one to three years. FRP also had
foreign sales of 12,800 tons and 13,400 tons of sulphur during 1992 and
1993, respectively. FRP has entered into a long-term contract to supply
IMC-Agrico Company with sulphur. For additional information with respect
to FRP's sales of sulphur, reference is made to "Selected Financial and
Operating Data" appearing on page 13 of FRP's 1993 Annual Report to
unitholders.
Globally, approximately 60% of annual sulphur demand arises from
the production of phosphate fertilizers. Many of the same factors which
have adversely impacted global fertilizer demand have caused sulphur demand
to decline for the past five years. Despite a decline in mined sources of
sulphur, global inventories increased in 1993 due to a large increase in
vatting in western Canada. The Company believes, however, that sales
agreements in place with IMC-Agrico and other customers give it significant
insulation against a potential market surplus. Sulphur prices at Tampa,
the principal market for the Company's sulphur, fell to under $55 per long
ton at the end of 1993 compared to $140 per long ton in early 1991.
Exploration
Currently, FRP has interests in three other sulphur leases in the
Gulf of Mexico which expire in 1998. In 1993, FRP elected not to drill
three offshore leases which were subsequently allowed to expire. In
addition, FRP has evaluated the results of its exploration efforts in Egypt
located in the North Sinai Desert. This location is estimated to contain
10.1 million long tons of sulphur. FRP does not plan to develop this
project in the immediate future but will retain its concession by
performing minimal maintenance activities.
OIL
The Main Pass project also contains oil* reserves associated with
the same caprock reservoir at Main Pass as the sulphur reserves. The
development and production of these Main Pass reserves are being conducted
by FTX on behalf of FRP, as operator of the joint venture, pursuant to a
management services agreement. As of December 31, 1993, FRP estimates that
remaining proved recoverable oil reserves at Main Pass are 20.8 million
barrels (10.0 million barrels net to FRP). FRP is engaged in oil
operations only at Main Pass and does not currently intend to pursue oil
operations that are not related to Main Pass.
For information relating to estimates of FRP's net interests in
proved oil reserves as of December 31, 1993, and for supplementary
information relating to estimates of discounted future net cash flows from
proved oil reserves, and changes in such estimates, reference is made to
Note 9 to the FRP Financial Statements. No favorable or adverse event or
major discovery has occurred since December 31, 1993, that FRP believes
would cause a significant change in estimated proved reserves.
Production and Marketing Conditions
Since completion of development drilling in mid-April 1993, oil
production for the Main Pass joint venture has increased significantly and
averaged over 20,000 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") for December 1993.
Because of the complexities of producing sour crude in an offshore
environment, periodic curtailments down to 5,500 BOPD may be required to
perform maintenance repairs. The Company's share of oil production was
approximately 3.4 million barrels for 1993. Production in 1994 is expected
to approximate that of 1993, with the anticipated drilling of additional
wells expected to offset a production decline in existing wells in 1994.
Production is expected to decline thereafter. For information concerning
FRP's sales during the year ended December 31, 1993, reference is made to
"Selected Financial and Operating Data" appearing on page 13 of FRP's 1993
Annual Report to unitholders, incorporated herein by reference. For
information concerning the interaction between concurrent oil and sulphur
production, see "Sulphur Business" above.
_________
* As used in this portion of the report, "oil" refers to crude oil,
condensate and natural gas liquids.
Oil prices have historically exhibited, and can be expected to
continue to exhibit, volatility as a result of such factors as political
uncertainty in the Middle East, actions of the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries and changes in worldwide weather and economic
conditions. Main Pass oil contains sulphur and is generally heavier than
other Gulf Coast crude oils. As a result, it sells at a discount relative
to Gulf Coast crude oils containing less sulphur and to lighter grade crude
oils.
Acreage
FRP's interest in Main Pass, in federal waters offshore
Louisiana, constitutes the only oil property owned by FRP. The property
consists of 1,125 gross acres (656 acres net to FRP) and is fully developed
within the meaning of governmental reporting requirements.
FRP possesses a leasehold interest in its Main Pass oil property
which is maintained by production and will remain in effect until
production and drilling and development operations cease. FRP believes
that the lease terms are sufficient to allow for reasonable development of
the reserves.
Operating Hazards
FRP's oil activities are subject to all of the risks normally
incident to the development and production of sour oil, including blowouts,
cratering and fires, each of which could result in injury to personnel
and/or damage to property. Additionally, offshore operations are subject
to marine perils, including hurricanes and other adverse weather
conditions. FRP, through FTX, carries insurance for certain of these
risks, and management believes that the types and limits of such insurance
coverages are adequate and consistent with prudent business practices.
Government Regulation
Domestic oil operations are subject to extensive state and
federal regulation. Compliance is often burdensome, and failure to comply
carries substantial penalties. The heavy and increasing regulatory burden
on the oil industry increases the cost of doing business and, consequently,
affects profitability.
Federal laws and regulations impose liability upon the lessee
under a federal lease for the cost of cleanup of pollution resulting from a
lessee's operations, and such lessee could be subject to liability for
pollution damages. A serious incident of pollution may also result in a
requirement to suspend or cease operations in the particular area. FRP,
through FTX, carries insurance against some, but not all, of these risks.
For further information with respect to environmental risks and FRP's
responses thereto, see "Environmental Matters" below.
GEOTHERMAL
In April 1993, FRP sold its remaining interests in producing
geothermal properties for $63.5 million to Calpine Corporation, consisting
of $23 million in cash and interest-bearing notes totaling $40.5 million,
recognizing a $31 million charge to expense and recording a $9 million
charge for impairment of its undeveloped geothermal properties. These
notes provided that the entire principal amount could be repaid at a
discount according to a specified schedule. FRP received a prepayment of
$36.9 million including accrued interest, in February 1994, which
represented full payment on these notes.
In 1993 FRP sold its undeveloped geothermal energy assets located
in the Salton Sea area of the Imperial Valley of southern California to
Magma Power Company, and certain of its affiliates, for consideration
consisting of a current cash payment and the right to future payments based
on the development of geothermal projects on its former leases. FRP still
retains its undeveloped geothermal energy assets located in the Medicine
Lake area of northern California.
COMPETITION
The fertilizer and phosphate rock mining industries are highly
competitive. In this global business, IMC-Agrico faces stiff competition
from overseas producers, most of which are state supported, especially
those in North Africa, and most recently those in the former Soviet Union.
In the United States, IMC-Agrico competes against a number of major
phosphate fertilizer producers, including large cooperatives. FRP, through
IMC-Agrico, is one of the largest and lowest cost producers of phosphate
rock and the largest integrated producer of phosphate fertilizers in the
world. FRP's significant phosphate rock and sulphur reserves and
production, through IMC-Agrico and FSC, substantially reduce the
sensitivity of its phosphate fertilizer costs to changes in raw material
prices. The strategic location of fertilizer operations on the Mississippi
River system reduces transportation costs for finished products sold in the
Midwest farmbelt. FRP believes that its internal production of raw
materials, through FSC and IMC-Agrico, and the strategic location of
IMC-Agrico's operations provide it with a competitive advantage over other
United States based producers. Nevertheless, world phosphate fertilizer
prices declined to a nearly 20-year low during mid-1993, due to a number of
factors, including a significant decline in import demand by China, a sharp
increase in U.S. producer held stocks of finished phosphate fertilizers to
record levels, intense competition in offshore markets traditionally served
by U.S. producers, particularly MAP from the former Soviet Union, unsettled
import policies in other key overseas markets such as India and continued
lower demand in Europe. As a result, FRP's results in 1992 and 1993 have
been adversely affected. FRP believes that the price outlook for phosphate
fertilizers has improved substantially based in part on a return by China
to the marketplace at more traditional volume levels, a significant
reduction in the stocks of finished phosphate materials held by producers
(in spite of a moderate improvement in operating rates) and an improved
domestic demand outlook for this coming spring season due to last year's
poor harvest caused by the widespread flooding in the Midwest.
In 1993, three companies operating domestic Frasch sulphur mines
accounted for approximately 18% of total domestic consumption of sulphur in
all forms. Domestic recovered sulphur, produced by more than 50 companies
at more than 130 refineries and gas treatment plants, supplied
approximately 55%, while imported sulphur, primarily from Canada and
Mexico, accounted for approximately 15% of domestic sulphur consumption.
The remaining 12% of domestic sulphur consumption was met in the form of
sulphuric acid produced in metals smelting operations and from imported
sulphuric acid. FRP's production of sulphur accounts for approximately 12%
of domestic and 4% of world elemental sulphur production for the year ended
December 31, 1993. With the achievement of full operations at Main Pass at
the end of 1993, FRP became the largest Frasch sulphur producer in the
world.
A large number of companies and individuals are engaged in the
development and production of oil. Many of these companies possess
financial resources equal to or greater than those of FRP.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In February 1993, FTX outsourced its corporate engineering,
research and development, corporate environmental and corporate safety
functions and, to that end, contracted with a new company initially owned
and staffed by former employees of FTX, Crescent Technology, Inc.
("Crescent"), that furnishes similar services to FTX. Crescent owns and
operates laboratory and pilot plant facilities at Belle Chasse, Louisiana,
where mineral analyses, metallurgical work and other research and testing
are conducted which contribute to FTX's commercial operations, including
those of FRP. Additionally, Crescent maintains engineering and mine
development groups in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provide the
engineering, design and construction supervision activities required to
implement new ventures and apply improvements to existing operations of
FRP.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
FTX and FRP have a history of commitment to environmental
responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before the general public recognized
the importance of maintaining environmental quality, FTX has conducted
preoperational, bioassay, marine ecological and other environmental surveys
to ensure the environmental compatibility of its operations. FTX's
Environmental Policy commits its operations to full compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. FTX has contracted with Crescent to
develop and implement corporatewide environmental programs that include the
activities of FRP and to study and implement methods to reduce discharges
and emissions. For information concerning the outsourcing of certain of
FTX's functions to Crescent, see "Research and Development" above.
FRP's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Exploration,
mining, development and production of natural resources, and the chemical
processing operations of IMC-Agrico, like similar operations of other
companies, may affect the environment. Moreover, such operations may
involve the extraction, handling, production, processing, treatment,
storage, transportation and disposal of materials and waste products which,
under certain conditions, may be toxic or hazardous and expressly regulated
under environmental laws. Present and future environmental laws and
regulations applicable to the operations of FRP or IMC-Agrico may require
substantial capital expenditures or affect their operations in other ways
that cannot now be accurately predicted.
FRP has made, and continues to make, expenditures at its
operations for protection of the environment. In 1992, at a cost of $35.7
million, FRP completed the replacement of two sulphuric acid production
units at an existing fertilizer plant thereby substantially reducing air
emissions and increasing plant efficiency. As successor to FRP, IMC-Agrico
completed at the end of 1993, at a cost of $27 million, an innovative
drainage and cover plan for phosphogypsum storage areas in Louisiana to
substantially reduce substances in wastewater discharged from its
fertilizer operations. Future operations of this kind are projected to
require additional investments of $30 million between 1994 and 2004.
Continued government and public emphasis on environmental matters
can be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental
controls. On analyzing its operations and those of IMC-Agrico in relation
to current and anticipated environmental requirements, FRP does not expect
that these investments will have a significant impact on its future
operations or financial condition. For additional information concerning
environmental matters, reference is made to the information set forth
in Item 7 below.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
-----------------
Although FRP may be from time to time involved in various legal
proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of its
businesses, FRP believes that potential liability in any such pending or
threatened proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of FRP. FRP, through FTX,
maintains liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential
liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of its businesses as
well as other insurance coverages customary in its businesses, with such
coverage limits as management deems prudent.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

to unitholders is incorporated herein by reference. As of March 10, 1994,
there were approximately 18,606 record holders of FRP Units.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
-----------------------
The information set forth under the caption "Selected Financial
and Operating Data" on page 13 of FRP's 1993 Annual Report to unitholders
is incorporated herein by reference.
FRP's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the years
1989 through 1993, inclusive, was 4.8x, 16.5x, 4.4x, 1.0x and a shortfall
of $233.5 million, respectively. For purposes of this calculation,
earnings are income from continuing operations before fixed charges. Fixed
charges are interest and that portion of rent deemed representative of
interest.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------
IMC-AGRICO COMPANY
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership (FRP) and IMC
Fertilizer, Inc. (IMC) formed a joint venture (IMC-Agrico Company),
effective July 1, 1993, for their respective phosphate fertilizer
businesses, including phosphate rock and uranium. IMC-Agrico Company is
governed by a policy committee having equal representation from each
company and is managed by IMC. Combined annual savings of at least $95
million in production, marketing, and general and administrative costs are
expected to result from this transaction, the full effect beginning by the
end of the second year of operations. The operating efficiencies
achievable by the joint venture should enable it to generate positive cash
flow in a low-price environment, such as that experienced in 1993, and to
be in a position to earn significant profits if product prices rise to
historical levels. As discussed below and in Note 4 to the financial
statements, significant restructuring charges were recorded in connection
with this transaction.
As a result of the joint venture, FRP is engaged in the phosphate rock
mining, fertilizer production, and uranium oxide extraction businesses only
through IMC-Agrico Company. FRP will continue to operate its sulphur and
oil businesses. FRP has varying sharing ratios in IMC-Agrico Company, as
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, which were based on the
projected contributions of FRP and IMC to the cash flow of the joint
venture and on an equal sharing of the anticipated savings.
FRP transferred the assets it contributed to IMC-Agrico Company at
their book carrying cost and proportionately consolidates its interest in
IMC-Agrico Company. As a result, FRP's operating results subsequent to the
formation of IMC-Agrico Company vary significantly in certain respects from
those previously reported. Phosphate fertilizer realizations and unit
production costs were fundamentally changed as the majority of the FRP
contributed fertilizer production facilities are located on the Mississippi
River, whereas the IMC contributed fertilizer production facilities are
located in Florida. Fertilizer produced on the Mississippi River commands
a higher sales price in the domestic market because of its proximity to
markets; however, raw material transportation costs at the Florida
facilities are lower for phosphate rock, partially offset by increased
sulphur transportation costs.
1993 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1992
After discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), FRP is reclassifying certain expenses and accruals previously
recorded in 1993 as restructuring and valuation of assets. In response to
inquiries, FRP advised the SEC staff that $3.2
million originally reported as restructuring and valuation of assets
represented the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle
resulting from the adoption of the new accounting policies that FRP
considered preferable, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
FRP also informed the SEC staff of the components of other charges
included in the amount originally reported as restructuring and valuation
of assets. FRP concluded that the reclassification and the related
supplemental disclosures more accurately reflect the nature of these
charges to 1993 net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or net
income per share.
FRP incurred a net loss of $246.1 million ($2.37 per unit) for 1993
compared with net income of $20.2 million ($.20 per unit) for 1992.
Results for 1993 were adversely impacted by charges totaling $197.3 million
($1.90 per unit) related to (a) restructuring the administrative
organization at Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX), the general partner of FRP
(Note 4), (b) asset sales/recoverability charges (Note 4), (c) adjustments
to general and administrative expenses and production and delivery costs
discussed below, and (d) changes in accounting principle, discussed further
in Note 1 to the financial statements. Excluding these items, 1993
earnings were lower reflecting significant decreases in phosphate
fertilizer, phosphate rock, sulphur, and oil revenues, primarily due to
reduced sales volumes and average market prices for these products (see
Selected Financial and Operating Data). Depreciation and amortization
expense declined primarily because of reduced sales volumes. The reduction
in general and administrative expenses reflects the benefits from the 1993
restructuring activities, partially offset by charges resulting from the
restructuring project discussed below. Interest expense increased, as no
interest was capitalized subsequent to the Main Pass sulphur operations
becoming operational for accounting purposes in July 1993.
Restructuring Activities. During the second quarter of 1993, FTX undertook
a restructuring of its administrative organization. This restructuring
represented a major step by FTX to lower its costs of operating and
administering its businesses in response to weak market prices of the
commodities produced by its operating units. As part of this
restructuring, FTX significantly reduced the number of employees engaged in
administrative functions, changed its management information system (MIS)
environment to achieve efficiencies, reduced its needs for office space,
outsourced a number of administrative functions, and implemented other
actions to lower costs. As a result of this restructuring process, which
included the formation of IMC-Agrico Company, the level of FRP's
administrative cost has been reduced substantially over what it would have
been otherwise, which benefit will continue in the future. However, the
restructuring process entailed incurring certain one-time costs by FTX, a
portion of which were allocated to FRP pursuant to its management services
agreement with FTX.
FRP's restructuring costs totaling $33.9 million, including $22.1
million allocated from FTX based on historical allocations, consisting of
the following: $15.5 million for personnel related costs; $7.0 million
relating to excess office space and furniture and fixtures resulting from
the staff reduction; $1.8 million relating to the cost to downsize its
computing and MIS structure; $8.8 million related to costs directly
associated with the formation of IMC-Agrico Company; and $.8 million of
deferred charges relating to FRP's credit facility which was substantially
revised in June 1993. As of December 31, 1993, the remaining accrual for
these restructuring costs totaled $3.1 million.
In connection with the restructuring project, FRP changed its
accounting systems and undertook a detailed review of its accounting
records and valuation of various assets and liabilities. As a result of
this process, FRP recorded charges totaling $24.9 million, comprised of the
following: (a) $10.0 million of production and delivery costs consisting
of $6.3 million for revised estimates of environmental liabilities and $3.7
million primarily for adjustments in converting accounting systems, (b)
$7.6 million of depreciation and amortization costs consisting of $6.5
million for estimated future abandonment and reclamation costs and $1.1
million for the write-down of miscellaneous properties, and (c) $7.3
million of general and administrative expenses consisting of $4.0 million
to downsize FRP's computing and MIS structure and $3.3 million for the
write-off of miscellaneous assets.
Agricultural Minerals Operations
FRP's agricultural minerals segment, which includes its fertilizer,
phosphate rock, and sulphur businesses, reported a loss of $55.9 million on
revenues of $619.3 million for 1993 compared with earnings of $18.0 million
on revenues of $799.0 million for 1992. Significant items impacting the
segment earnings are as follows (in millions):
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1992 $ 18.0
Major increases (decreases)
Sales volumes (67.4)
Realizations (103.2)
Other (9.1)

* Includes $17.5 million in cost of sales and $7.3 million in general and
administrative expenses resulting from the restructuring project discussed
above.
Weak industrywide demand and changes attributable to FRP's
participation in IMC-Agrico Company resulted in FRP's 1993 reported sales
volumes for diammonium phosphate (DAP), its principal fertilizer product,
declining 17 percent from that of a year-ago. The weakness in the
phosphate fertilizer market prompted IMC-Agrico Company to make strategic
curtailments in its phosphate fertilizer production. However, late in the
year increased export purchases contributed to a rise in market prices,
helping to rekindle domestic buying interests which had been unwilling to
make purchase commitments. The increased demand, coupled with low
industrywide production levels, caused reduced inventory levels. Late in
1993, IMC-Agrico Company increased its production levels in response to the
improving markets and projected domestic and international demand for its
fertilizer products. Unit production cost, excluding $17.5 million of
changes related to the restructuring project, declined from 1992 reflecting
initial production efficiencies from the joint venture, reduced raw
material costs for sulphur, and lower phosphate rock mining expenses,
partially offset by increased natural gas costs and lower production
volumes. FRP's realization for DAP was lower reflecting the near 20-year
low prices realized during 1993 as well as an increase in the lower-priced
Florida sales by IMC-Agrico Company.
FRP believes that the outlook for 1994 is for improved prices caused
by more normal market demand. Spot market prices improved from a low of
nearly $100 per short ton of DAP (central Florida) in July 1993 to just
over $140 per ton by year end. Industry inventories at year end were below
average levels, despite a fourth quarter rebound in industry production.
Export demand is expected to remain at more normal levels during the first
half of 1994, with China, India, and Pakistan expected to be active
purchasers. Additionally, domestic phosphate fertilizer demand is expected
to benefit from increased corn acreage planted due to lower government set-
asides and to increased fertilizer application rates necessitated by the
widespread flooding that caused a depletion of nutrients in a number of
midwestern states.
FRP's proportionate share of the larger IMC-Agrico Company phosphate
rock operation caused 1993 sales volumes to increase from 1992, with IMC-
Agrico Company operating its most efficient facilities to minimize costs.
Combined sulphur production from the Caminada and Main Pass mines
increased compared with 1992; however, sales volumes declined 16 percent,
primarily because of reduced purchases by IMC-Agrico Company resulting from
its curtailed fertilizer production. Due to the significant decline in the
market price of sulphur, FRP recorded a second-quarter 1993 noncash charge
to earnings (not included in segment earnings) for the excess of
capitalized cost over expected realization of its non-Main Pass sulphur
assets, primarily the Caminada sulphur mine (Note 4). Due to significant
improvements in Main Pass sulphur production, FRP ceased the marginally
profitable Caminada operations in January 1994. The shutdown of Caminada
will have no material impact on FRP's reported earnings. Although reduced
global demand has forced production cutbacks worldwide, sulphur prices
remain depressed. A rebound in price is not expected until demand
improves.
At Main Pass, sulphur production increased significantly during 1993
and achieved, on schedule, full design operating rates of 5,500 tons per
day (approximately 2 million tons per year) in December 1993 and has since
sustained production at or above that level. As a result of the production
increases, Main Pass sulphur became operational for accounting purposes
beginning July 1, 1993. Recognizing Main Pass sulphur operations in income
and discontinuing associated capitalized interest did not affect cash flow,
but adversely affected reported operating results.
Oil Operation
1993 1992
---- ----
Sales (barrels) 3,443,000 4,884,000
Average realized price $14.43 $15.91
Earnings (in millions) $(1.5) $4.6
Since completion of development drilling in mid-April 1993, oil
production for the Main Pass joint venture (in which FRP owns a 58.3
percent interest) increased significantly, averaging over 20,000 barrels
per day for December 1993. Production for 1994 is expected to approximate
that of 1993 if water encroachment follows current trends, with the
anticipated drilling of additional wells (estimated to cost FRP
approximately $4 million) offsetting a production decline in existing
wells. Due to the dramatic decline in oil prices at year-end, FRP recorded
a $60.0 million charge to earnings (not included in segment earnings)
reflecting the excess net book value of its Main Pass oil investment over
the estimated future net cash flow to be received. Future price declines,
increases in costs, or negative reserve revisions could result in an
additional charge to future earnings.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Net cash used in operating activities during 1993 was $2.9 million compared
with $120.1 million net cash provided during 1992, due primarily to lower
income from operations. Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.5
million compared with $209.9 million used for 1992, reflecting the reduced
level of capital expenditures (following completion of Main Pass
development expenditures and the cost efficiency program during 1992) and
the proceeds from asset sales. Net cash provided by financing activities
during 1993 was $17.8 million reflecting net borrowings of $139.0 million
partially offset by lower distributions resulting from unpaid distributions
to FTX since early-1992 (discussed below), compared with $93.1 million for
1992 which had a net reduction of borrowings totaling $186.2 million funded
by $430.5 million in proceeds from the public sale of FRP units in February
1992.
Cash flow from operations for 1992 was $120.1 million compared with
$106.5 million for 1991. Net cash used in investing activities declined to
$209.9 million from $346.9 million in 1991, due primarily to reduced
capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities declined
to $93.1 million in 1992 from $243.5 million in 1991, with 1991 including
net borrowings of $421.2 million.
Publicly owned FRP units have cumulative rights to receive quarterly
distributions of 60 cents per unit through the distribution for the quarter
ending December 31, 1996 (the Preference Period) before any distributions
may be made to FTX. FRP has announced that beginning with the distribution
for the fourth quarter of 1993 it no longer intends to supplement
distributable cash with borrowings. Therefore, FRP's future distributions
will be dependent on the distributions received from IMC-Agrico Company,
which will primarily be determined by prices and sales volumes of its
commodities and cost reductions achieved by its combined operations, and
the future cash flow of FRP's oil and sulphur operations (including
reclamation expenditures related to its non-Main Pass sulphur assets). On
January 21, 1994, FRP declared a distribution of 60 cents per publicly held
unit ($30.3 million) and 12 cents per FTX-owned unit ($6.2 million),
payable February 15, 1994, bringing the total unpaid distribution due FTX
to $239.2 million. Unpaid distributions due FTX will be recoverable from
future FRP cash available for quarterly distributions as discussed in Note
3 to the financial statements. The January 1994 distribution included
$30.9 million received from IMC-Agrico Company for its fourth-quarter 1993
distribution (including $9.3 million from working capital reductions) and
$13.0 million in proceeds from the sale of certain previously mined
phosphate rock acreage.
In September 1993, FTX agreed to manage for one year Fertiberia, S.L.,
the restructured phosphate and nitrogen fertilizer businesses of FESA
Fertilizantos Espanoles, a wholly owned subsidiary of ERCROS, S.A., a
Spanish conglomerate. FTX has assumed no financial obligations during this
period. The goal of the management services agreement is to establish
Fertiberia as a financially viable concern. If financial viability can be
established, FRP has agreed to negotiate the acquisition of a controlling
equity interest in Fertiberia.
In June 1993, FTX amended its credit agreement in which FRP
participates, extending its maturity (Note 5). As of February 1, 1994,
$425.0 million was available under the credit facility. To the extent FTX
and its other subsidiaries incur additional debt, the amount available to
FRP under the credit facility may be reduced. FRP believes that its short-
term cash requirements will be met from internally generated funds and
borrowings under its existing credit facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FTX and its affiliates, including FRP, have a history of
commitment to environmental responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before
public attention focused on the importance of maintaining environmental
quality, FTX and its affiliates have conducted preoperational, bioassay,
marine ecological, and other environmental surveys to ensure the
environmental compatibility of its operations. FTX's Environmental Policy
commits FTX and its affiliates' operations to full compliance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations, and prescribes the use of periodic
environmental audits of all domestic facilities to evaluate compliance
status and communicate that information to management. FTX has access to
environmental specialists who have developed and implemented corporatewide
environmental programs. FTX's operating units, including FRP, continue to
study and implement methods to reduce discharges and emissions.
Federal legislation (sometimes referred to as "Superfund") requires
payments for cleanup of certain abandoned waste disposal sites, even though
such waste disposal activities were performed in compliance with
regulations applicable at the time of disposal. Under the Superfund
legislation, one party may, under certain circumstances, be required to
bear more than its proportional share of cleanup costs at a site where it
has responsibility pursuant to the legislation, if payments cannot be
obtained from other responsible parties. Other legislation mandates
cleanup of certain wastes at unabandoned sites. States also have
regulatory programs that can mandate waste cleanup. Liability under these
laws involves inherent uncertainties.
FRP has received notices from governmental agencies that it is one of
many potentially responsible parties at certain sites under relevant
federal and state environmental laws. Further, FRP is aware of additional
sites for which it may receive such notices in the future. Some of these
sites involve significant cleanup costs; however, at each of these sites
other large and viable companies with equal or larger proportionate shares
are among the potentially responsible parties. The ultimate settlement for
such sites usually occurs several years subsequent to the receipt of
notices identifying potentially responsible parties because of the many
complex technical and financial issues associated with site cleanup. FRP
believes that the aggregation of any costs associated with these potential
liabilities will not exceed amounts accrued and expects that any costs
would be incurred over a period of years.
FRP, through FTX, maintains insurance coverage in amounts deemed
prudent for certain types of damages associated with environmental
liabilities which arise from unexpected and unforeseen events and has an
indemnification agreement covering certain acquired sites (Note 7).
FRP has made, and will continue to make, expenditures at its
operations for protection of the environment. Continued government and
public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in
increased future investments for environmental controls, which will be
charged against income from future operations. Present and future
environmental laws and regulations applicable to FRP's operations may
require substantial capital expenditures and may affect its operations in
other ways that cannot now be accurately predicted.
1992 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1991
FRP reported 1992 net income of $20.2 million ($.20 per unit) compared with
$15.0 million ($.18 per unit) for 1991, which included an insurance
settlement gain (Note 7) of $17.7 million ($.21 per unit) and a charge of
$96.8 million ($1.16 per unit) to reflect the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle for postretirement benefits other than
pensions (Note 6). Excluding the nonrecurring items, income for 1992 was
lower primarily because of reduced agricultural minerals and uranium
earnings, partially offset by profitable Main Pass oil operations.
Revenues were virtually unchanged from 1991 with increases in oil and
phosphate rock revenues partially offsetting a decrease in phosphate
fertilizer revenues. Production and delivery costs as a percent of
revenues declined due to increased oil production, which has lower
production and delivery costs than FRP's other products. Depreciation and
amortization expense rose primarily because of higher oil production, and
general and administrative expenses increased due to the additional effort
and support required by Main Pass. Interest costs of $19.1 million for
1992 and $23.3 million for 1991, associated primarily with Main Pass
development, were capitalized.
Agricultural Minerals Operations
Revenues and earnings for 1992 totaled $799.0 million and $18.0 million
compared with $880.5 million and $78.9 million for 1991, respectively,
reflecting weak market prices for phosphate fertilizers and sulphur.
However, FRP's 1992 average unit production cost for phosphate fertilizers
was lower than during 1991. Significant items impacting the segment
earnings are as follows (in millions):
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1991 $ 78.9
Major increases (decreases)
Sales volumes 27.0
Realizations (107.8)
Other (.7)
------
Revenue variance (81.5)
Cost of sales 41.9
General and administrative and other (21.3)
------
(60.9)
------
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1992 $ 18.0
======
Phosphate fertilizer sales volumes were slightly lower during 1992,
whereas the average realization was 13 percent lower. Phosphate fertilizer
realizations declined steadily throughout 1992 because of curtailed
purchases by China, the largest single fertilizer importer, and supply and
demand uncertainty in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and India. Also
contributing to the decline in prices were lower raw material costs, most
notably for sulphur, as producers in the weakening market passed along
these cost savings to buyers in an attempt to preserve market share. FRP's
phosphate rock and fertilizer facilities operated at or near capacity, with
the 1992 phosphate fertilizer unit production cost averaging 7 percent less
than during 1991 due to reduced raw material costs for sulphur and lower
phosphate rock mining expenses, despite higher natural gas costs. Unit
production cost also benefited during the latter part of 1992 as FRP
completed a $60.0 million capital program to improve efficiency and lower
costs.
Sulphur production and sales volumes for 1992 declined 8 percent and 7
percent, respectively, from 1991 as the Garden Island Bay and Grand Isle
mines ceased production in 1991. However, production increased at the
Caminada mine, which had a significantly lower unit production cost than
either Garden Island Bay or Grand Isle had prior to depletion, resulting in
an average sulphur unit production cost 7 percent lower than during 1991.
FRP's 1992 sulphur realization reflects the price declines which occurred
since mid-1991, as world sulphur markets were burdened by the collapse of
the Soviet Union as well as by a further decline in demand in Western
Europe. During 1992, several Canadian sulphur marketers built inventory
rather than accept depressed prices; however, others intensified their
efforts to sell into the important Tampa, Florida market.
Phosphate rock production and sales benefited from the capacity
expansion completed in mid-1992 at one of FRP's two operated phosphate rock
mines, and also reflect the output from FRP's Central Florida Pebbledale
property, where sales began in July 1991 under a mining agreement with IMC.
Oil Operation
1992 1991
--------- -------
Sales (barrels) 4,884,000 350,800
Average realized price $15.91 $13.34
Earnings (in millions) $4.6 $(.6)
Earnings for Main Pass, which initiated oil production in late 1991,
benefited from FRP's marketing efforts, which alleviated earlier problems
related to its high-sulphur oil, and high average production rates.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
----------------------
FRP does not employ any of the FRP Executive Officers, nor does
it compensate them for their services. The FRP Executive Officers are
either employed or retained by FTX. The President and Chief Executive
Officer of FRP, Rene L. Latiolais, is employed by FTX. The four most
highly compensated FRP Executive Officers other than Mr. Latiolais are
James R. Moffett, Richard H. Block, Charles W. Goodyear, and W. Russell
King; they are also employed by FTX. The determination as to which FRP
Executive Officers were the most highly compensated was made by reference
to the total annual salary and bonus for 1993 of each of the FRP Executive
Officers employed by FTX that was allocated to FRP by FTX pursuant to the
FRP partnership agreement on the basis of time devoted to FRP activities.
The services of all the FRP Executive Officers and the services
of the other officers of FRP are provided to FRP by FTX under the FRP
partnership agreement. FRP reimburses FTX at FTX's cost, including
allocated overhead, for such services. All the FRP Executive Officers are
compensated exclusively by FTX for their services to FRP. All the FRP
Executive Officers are eligible to participate in certain FTX benefit plans
and programs. The total costs to FTX for the FRP Executive Officers,
including the costs borne by FTX with respect to such plans and programs,
are allocated to FRP, to the extent practicable, in proportion to the time
spent by such FRP Executive Officers on FRP affairs. No other payment is
made by FRP to FTX for providing such compensation and benefit plans and
programs to the FRP Executive Officers.

- ----------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., a Delaware corporation formed
in 1987 ("FCX"), is a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. ("FTX"*).
FCX's principal operating subsidiary is P.T. Freeport Indonesia Company
("PT-FI"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the
Republic of Indonesia and domesticated in Delaware. PT-FI engages in the
exploration for and development, mining, and processing of copper, gold
and silver in Indonesia and in the marketing of concentrates containing
such metals worldwide. FCX believes that PT-FI has one of the lowest
cost copper producing operations in the world, taking into account
customary credits for related gold and silver production. FTX owns
approximately 69.77% of FCX's common stock. FCX owns approximately 81.28%
of the outstanding common stock of PT-FI. Of the remaining 18.72% of the
outstanding PT-FI common stock, approximately 9.36% is owned by the
Government of the Republic of Indonesia (the "Government") and approximately
9.36% is owned by an Indonesian corporation, P.T. Indocopper Investama
Corporation ("PT-II"), in which FCX owns a 49% interest. FCX also has
a subsidiary, Eastern Mining Company, Inc., ("Eastern Mining") which on April
29, 1993 was granted an exploration permit, giving it exclusive rights for a
limited period to explore for minerals on 2.5 million acres adjacent to
the 6.5 million acre exploration area covered by PT-FI's New
COW (as defined below). On March 30, 1993, FCX acquired a 65%
interest in the capital stock of Rio Tinto Minera, S.A. ("RTM"), a
company primarily engaged in the smelting and refining of copper
concentrates in Spain. In December 1993, RTM redeemed the remaining 35%
interest.
- --------------------------
*The term "FTX", as used in this report, means Freeport-McMoRan Inc.,
its divisions, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates other
than FCX, or any one or more of them, unless the context requires Freeport-
McMoRan Inc. only.
In January 1994, FCX redeemed its Zero Coupon Exchangeable Notes due
2011 (the "Notes"). Of the $118.6 million Notes outstanding at the initiation
of the call, $118.3 million were exchanged into 6.7 million shares of FCX
Class A Common Stock prior to the redemption of the Notes. The balance was
redeemed for cash. Also in January 1994, FCX sold 4.3 million depositary
shares, each representing 0.05 shares of its Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock,
Series II to the public for net proceeds of $158.5 million. In August 1993,
FCX sold 6.0 million depositary shares, each representing 0.05 shares of its
Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, to the public for net proceeds of $220.4
million. In July 1993, FCX sold 14.0 million depositary shares, each
representing 0.05 shares of its Step-Up Convertible Preferred Stock, to the
public for net proceeds of $340.7 million.
P.T. FREEPORT INDONESIA COMPANY
PT-FI's operations are located in the rugged highlands of the Sudirman
Mountain Range in the province of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, located on the
western half of the island of New Guinea. Over the last 25 years, PT-FI has
met an extraordinary combination of engineering and construction challenges to
develop its mining and milling complex and supporting infrastructure in one of
the least explored areas in the world. PT-FI's largest mine, Grasberg,
discovered in 1988, contains the largest single gold reserve and one of the
three largest open-pit copper reserves of any mine in the world. In order to
develop the Grasberg deposit, PT-FI undertook an expansion program in stages,
initially from 20,000 metric tons of ore per day ("MTPD") to 57,000 MTPD.
Expansion from 57,000 MTPD to 66,000 MTPD was completed in 1993 ahead of
schedule and within budget. PT-FI has begun work on a further expansion of
its overall mining and milling rate to 115,000 MTPD which is expected to be
completed by year-end 1995 and to result in annual production rates
approaching 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold.
CONTRACT OF WORK
In 1967, PT-FI's predecessor, Freeport Indonesia, Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation, ("FII") and the Government entered into a contract of
work (the "1967 COW") governing FII's mining activities in Indonesia. From
1967 until the end of 1991, FII operated as the sole contractor for the
production and marketing of certain minerals from a 24,700 acre area (the
"1967 Mining Area"). On December 30, 1991, FII was merged into PT-FI in
Delaware and PT-FI and the Government signed a new contract of work (the "New
COW"), which superseded the 1967 COW. The New COW covers both the 1967 Mining
Area and a contiguous 6.5 million acre exploration area (the "New COW Area").
The New COW has a 30-year term, with provisions for two 10-year extensions
under certain conditions.
The New COW contains a provision under which PT-FI must progressively
relinquish its rights to the nonprospective parts of the New COW Area in
amounts equal to 25% of the 6.5 million acres at the end of each of three
specified periods, the first of which is set to expire on December 30, 1994,
unless further extended by the Ministry of Mines, and the last of which is set
to expire five to seven years after the signing of the New COW. In light
of these relinquishment provisions, PT-FI has implemented an active
exploration program with a focus on both what it believes to be the most
promising exploration opportunities in the New Cow Area as well as
identification of areas which appear to hold the least promise.
The New COW also contains provisions for PT-FI to conduct or cause
to be conducted a feasibility study relating to the construction of a
copper smelting facility in Indonesia and for the eventual construction of
such a facility by PT-FI, if such facility is deemed to be
economically viable by PT-FI and the Government and is not
constructed by others. PT-FI is pursuing with other companies the
feasibility of constructing a copper smelting facility in Indonesia, in which
PT-FI would hold a minority interest and supply approximately one-half of the
smelter's currently anticipated copper concentrate requirements.
ORE RESERVES
Based upon published reports, FCX believes that PT-FI's Grasberg deposit
contains the largest single gold reserve and one of the three largest open-pit
copper reserves of any mine in the world. Proved and probable ore reserves at
December 31, 1993 were approximately 1,074.1 million tons* at an average grade
of 1.31% copper, 1.47 grams of gold per ton and 4.04 grams of silver per ton
compared with approximately 733.2 million tons of ore with an average grade of
1.47% copper, 1.72 grams of gold per ton and 3.87 grams of silver per ton at
December 31, 1992. Primarily as a result of the drilling operations at the
Grasberg mine (see "Mines in Production" below), PT-FI's proved and probable
copper and gold reserves as of December 31, 1993 have increased, net of
production since December 31, 1988 by approximately 319% and 574%,
respectively, and from year-end 1992 by 28% and 22%, respectively.
- --------------------------
* As used herein, "ton" refers to a metric ton, which is equivalent to
2,204.62 pounds on a dry weight basis.
This increase in proved and probable reserves, net of production,
reflects the addition of approximately 340.9 million tons of ore since
December 31, 1992 (a 46% increase) as the result of a drilling program that
includes data obtained from the surface down to approximately the 3,100 meter
elevation at the Grasberg ore body. PT-FI's proved and probable reserves at
Grasberg do not include reserves below the 3,100 meter level. PT-FI has begun
driving an adit (the "Amole adit") from the mill site to a point below the
currently delineated Grasberg ore body at the 2,900 meter level. The Amole
adit, expected to be completed in 1996, will facilitate further deep
exploration to delineate the extent of the Grasberg deposit below the 3,100
meter level. Preliminary drilling from the existing 3,700 meter adit
indicates significant additional mineralization below the existing proved and
probable reserves. There can be no assurance, however, that PT-FI's
exploration programs will result in the delineation of additional reserves in
commercial quantities. For further information with respect to the copper,
gold and silver content of proved and probable ore reserves of PT-FI,
reference is made to Note 11 to the financial statements of FCX referred to on
page F-1 hereof (the "FCX Financial Statements"), incorporated herein by
reference.
MINING OPERATIONS
Mines in Production
PT-FI currently has two mines in operation: the Ertsberg East and the
Grasberg, both within the 1967 Mining Area. PT-FI milled ore at an average
rate of approximately 57,600 MTPD in 1992 and 62,300 MTPD in 1993.
Open pit mining of the Grasberg ore body commenced in January 1990.
In 1993, Grasberg mine output totaled approximately 19.8 million tons of
ore, providing approximately 81% of total PT-FI ore production. Production
from the Grasberg ore body, averaged approximately 54,100 MTPD during 1993.
Ertsberg East is an underground mine which commenced production in
1980. Block caving operations are conducted in two separate zones of the
ore body with a common haulage level at 3,530 meters elevation. In 1993,
mine output from Ertsberg East totaled approximately 4.4 million tons of
ore and provided approximately 18% of total PT-FI ore production.
Production from Ertsberg East averaged approximately 12,200 MTPD during
1993. The Ertsberg East mine is expected to be depleted by the second half
of 1994 and production primarily from Grasberg, supplemented by production
from the Intermediate Ore Zone (the "IOZ") ore body (see "Mines in
Development" below), is expected to offset the Ertsberg East production.
Mines in Development
Three major additions to PT-FI's underground mining operations, which
are intended to replace existing underground production areas when they
become depleted, have previously been developed: the DOM (from the Dutch
word meaning "cathedral") ore body, the Deep Ore Zone (the "DOZ") ore body
and the IOZ ore body. The IOZ is located vertically between the Ertsberg
East and the DOZ ore bodies.
The DOM ore body's initial working level is some 380 meters above the
Erstberg East mining operation. The DOM ore body will initially be mined
using the block caving method. Pre-production development is complete and
the first block cave area has been prepared. All maintenance, warehouse
and service facilities are in place. Production at the DOM has been
deferred as a result of the continued increase in the Grasberg ore
reserves.
The mine being developed at the IOZ ore body is situated approximately
350 meters above the 2,900 meter level adit. Delineation drilling and pre-
production development began in 1991. The IOZ is being developed to
gradually replace production from the Ertsberg East mine beginning in 1994
using the same block caving method. Mining will proceed downward from the
IOZ to the DOZ.
The DOZ, also an underground mine within the 1967 Mining Area, lies
vertically below the IOZ ore body and is currently capable of production.
Initial production from the DOZ commenced in 1989. However, at the end of
1991, mine output from the DOZ was temporarily suspended, and it is
anticipated that it will resume once the IOZ ore body has been depleted
sometime after 1998.
EXPLORATION
In addition to continued delineation of the Grasberg deposit and other
deposits discussed above, PT-FI is continuing its ongoing exploration program
for copper and gold mineralization within the 1967 Mining Area. Two anomalous
zones in the vicinity of PT-FI's current mining activities are under active
exploratory drilling. The Big Gossan and Wanagon mineralizations are located
west of the Erstberg open pit, southwest of the Grasberg ore body and anchor
the ends of a clearly defined mineralized structure trending roughly east-west
for 4.5 kilometers. The Big Gossan mineralization, as drilled to date,
extends approximately 1,100 meters from just east of the intersection of the
Amole adit.
Over 50 holes have been drilled from the Amole adit and from an
exploration drift being driven in a westerly direction parallel to the Big
Gossan structure, which drilling resulted in the addition of 8.5 million
metric tons of ore at an average grade of 2.4% copper and 0.77 grams of gold
per metric ton to PT-FI's total proved and probable reserves at December 31,
1993. Earlier surface drilling of the western portion of the Big Gossan
anomaly, approximately 300-500 meters west of the underground drilling,
established a mineral resource in excess of 6 million metric tons with an
average grade of 5% copper and 2.9 grams of gold per metric ton which is not
included in PT-FI's total proved and probable reserves at December 31, 1993.
Further underground exploration of the resources established by the surface
drilling as well as the area between it and the reserves discovered near the
Amole adit will be carried out in 1994 from the exploration drift as it is
extended.
Mine planning for development of the Big Gossan resource has commenced
with development estimated to cost approximately $100 million and to begin in
late 1994 or early 1995.
During the first quarter of 1993, PT-FI initiated helicopter-supported
surface drilling of the Wanagon gold/silver/copper prospect. Seven holes were
drilled during 1993 at Wanagon, located approximately 2 kilometers northwest
of Big Gossan and approximately 3 kilometers southwest of Grasberg.
Significant copper values have been encountered below the 2,900 meter
elevation. Target evaluation in other parts of the 1967 Mining Area is also
continuing.
Preliminary exploration of the New COW Area has indicated many promising
targets. Extensive stream sediment sampling within the new acreage has
generated analytical results which are being evaluated. This sampling
program, when coupled with regional mapping completed on the ground and from
aerial photographs, has led to the outlining of over 50 exploration targets.
PT-FI has also completed a fixed-wing air-magnetometer survey of the
entire New COW Area. Detailed follow-up exploration of these anomalies by
additional mapping and sampling and through the use of both aerial and
ground magnetic surveys is now in progress. Systematic drilling of these
targets has already commenced with mineralization being discovered at
several prospects. Additional drilling is required to determine if any of
these are commercially viable.
PT-FI has focused its initial drilling in the New COW Area on two
prospects 30 kilometers and 40 kilometers north of Grasberg that display
anomalous geochemical and magnetic characteristics. Although these prospects
require additional exploratory drilling, initial results indicate a large
mineralized district that covers three times the aerial extent or
approximately 75,000 acres when compared to the original 24,700-acre district
that contained the Ertsberg, Grasberg, Ertsberg East, IOZ, DOZ, Big Gossan and
DOM ore bodies. The discovery of widespread igneous activity, including
volcanic rocks, in these new areas indicates the potential for Grasberg-type
stockwork and porphyry deposits as well as skarn-type copper/gold deposits
similar to the Ertsberg, Ertsberg East, IOZ, DOZ and DOM ore bodies. PT-FI has
also initiated drilling programs for four other prospects. Drilling results
are being interpreted. No assurance can be given that any of these new areas
contain commercially exploitable mineral deposits.
PT-FI's exploration expenditures were $31.7 million for 1993, compared to
$12.2 million for 1992.
MILLING, EXPANSION AND PRODUCTION
Milling
Most of the ore from PT-FI's mines moves by a conveyor system to an ore
pass through which it drops to the mill site. At the mill site, which is
located approximately 2,900 meters above sea level, the ore is crushed and
ground. The powdered ore is then mixed in tanks with chemical reagents and
continuously agitated with air. At this stage the copper-bearing concentrate
rises to the top of the tanks from which it is removed and thickened. The
product leaves the mill site as a thickened concentrate slurry, consisting of
approximately 65% solids by weight. During 1993, the recovery rates for the
milling facilities averaged approximately 87.0% of the copper content, 76.2%
of the gold content and 67.2% of the silver content of the ore processed,
compared to 88.2%, 73.7% and 65.5%, respectively, during 1992.
Expansion
In 1993 PT-FI completed, within budget and ahead of schedule, the
expansion of its production facilities increasing its mining and milling
capacity from 57,000 MTPD to 66,000 MTPD at its Indonesian complex. During
1993 mill production averaged 62,300 MTPD. PT-FI has begun work on a further
expansion of its overall mining and milling rate to 115,000 MTPD at an
estimated cost of approximately $685 million, excluding the capital required
for the Enhanced Infrastructure Project (the "EIP") and other infrastructure
improvements, of which approximately $120 million had been spent through
December 31, 1993. This expansion is expected to be completed by or about
year end 1995. Funding for this expansion will be obtained from existing cash
balances, cash flow from operations and additional financing, if required.
Such expansion beyond 66,000 MTPD will also require certain Government
approvals. This expansion will further PT-FI's goal of approaching annual
copper production of 1.1 billion pounds and annual gold production of
approximately 1.5 million ounces.
Production
In 1993 PT-FI achieved record copper production of 658.4 million
recoverable pounds, approximately 6% more than in 1992. Gold production was a
record 786,700 recoverable ounces, an increase of approximately 23% over 1992.
For a summary of PT-FI's production, sales and average product realizations
for 1993 and the previous four years, reference is made to "Selected Financial
and Operating Data" appearing on page 17 of FCX's 1993 Annual Report to
stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE
Transportation
From the mill site, the thickened concentrate is pumped through two 115
kilometer pipelines to the port-site facility at Amamapare. At the port-site
the slurry is filtered, dried and stored for shipping. When ships arrive,
they are loaded at the dock facilities at the port-site until they draw their
maximum water. The ships then normally move to deeper water, where loading is
completed from shuttling barges.
Other Infrastructure
The location of PT-FI's operations in a remote and undeveloped area
requires that such operations be virtually self-sufficient. The facilities,
in addition to those described above, include an airport, a heliport, a 119
kilometer road with bridges and tunnels, an aerial service tramway to
transport personnel, equipment and supplies to the mines, a hospital and two
town sites with schools, housing and other required facilities sufficient to
support approximately 12,000 persons, including approximately 360 who are
located at the port-site.
In conjunction with the expansion of the mining and processing
facilities to 115,000 MTPD, the first phase of the EIP is being implemented.
The EIP is a long term program created (1) to provide certain infrastructure
facilities needed for PT-FI's operations, (2) to enhance the quality of
conditions for PT-FI's employees and (3) to develop and promote the growth of
local and other third party activities and enterprises in Irian Jaya through
the construction of certain required physical support facilities. The full EIP
includes plans for various commercial, residential, educational, retail,
medical, recreational, environmental and other infrastructure facilities to be
constructed during the next ten to twenty years. Depending on the long-term
growth of PT-FI's operations, the total cost of the EIP could range between
$500 million and $600 million. The first phase of the EIP is needed to support
the 115,000 MTPD expansion. FCX anticipates that the first phase, which
includes various residential, community and commercial facilities and an
extension of the principal road which will enable vehicle traffic to travel
all the way to the port-site, will be completed by mid-1996.
PT-FI has entered into certain agreements with Huarte S.A. ("Huarte"), a
Spanish construction and engineering company. These agreements cover the
design, engineering and construction of the facilities to be constructed in
the first phase of the EIP. Together, the agreements give Huarte
responsibility to deliver completed facilities to PT-FI.
In March 1993, PT-FI entered into a joint venture agreement with P.T.
ALatieF Nusakarya Corporation ("ALatieF"), an Indonesian investor, pursuant to
which PT-FI will sell to a joint venture or ventures (the "ALatieF Joint
Venture") certain existing infrastructure assets and certain assets to be
constructed as part of the EIP for total consideration of $270 million. The
ALatieF Joint Venture, which is owned one-third by PT-FI and two-thirds by
ALatieF, is expected to purchase approximately $90 million of EIP assets
annually over the period 1993-1995, with funding provided by equity
contributions from the ALatieF Joint Venture partners ($90 million) and debt
financing ($180 million), which is expected to be guaranteed by PT-FI, FCX or
both. The sale of the first group of assets to the ALatieF Joint Venture,
primarily dormitory-style residential properties and associated food service
facilities, was completed in December 1993, for a price of $90 million. The
sales which are anticipated for 1994 and later are subject to the execution of
definitive agreements and certain Government approvals.
The acquired assets will be made available to PT-FI and its employees and
designees under arrangements which will provide the ALatieF Joint Venture with
a guaranteed minimum rate of return on its investment. Certain existing EIP
related contracts with Huarte will be assigned to the ALatieF Joint Venture as
appropriate.
In December 1993, PT-FI announced the execution of a Letter of Intent
with Duke Energy Corp. ("DE") and PowerLink Corporation ("PL"), pursuant to
which PT-FI would sell its existing and to be constructed power generation and
transmission assets and certain other power-related assets to a joint venture
(the "Power Joint Venture") whose ownership would consist of DE (30%), PL
(30%), PT-FI (30%) and an Indonesian investor (10%). The total value of the
transaction is estimated at $200 million and is expected to be concluded in
two phases. The first sale, representing the existing assets, is expected to
exceed $100 million and to occur in mid-1994. The final sale, representing
the to-be-constructed expansion-related assets, is expected to occur during
the first half of 1995. Under the agreement, the Power Joint Venture will own
these assets and be responsible for providing the electrical power services
required by PT-FI at its mining, milling and support operations in Irian Jaya,
Indonesia, including the power services required for the expansion of ore
throughput to 115,000 MTPD.
PT-FI has also entered into two separate letters of intent with respect
to the sale to joint ventures of certain aircraft, airport and related
operations (the "Airport Joint Venture") and certain construction equipment,
certain port facilities and related marine, logistics and related assets (the
"Port Joint Venture"). PT-FI would have a 25% equity interest in the Airport
Joint Venture, with certain Indonesian investors controlling the
remainder. PT-FI would enter into one or more agreements with the Airport
Joint Venture for air transport services for both passengers and cargo. It
is expected that the purchase price of the assets transferred to the
Airport Joint Venture will be approximately $30 million.
The Port Joint Venture is expected to be owned by a multinational
shipping concern and three to five Indonesian investors (one of which is
expected to be ALatieF). PT-FI is not expected to have an equity interest in
the Port Joint Venture. PT-FI would enter into one or more agreements with
the Port Joint Venture for use of the transferred assets. It is expected that
the purchase price of the assets transferred to the Port Joint Venture will
not exceed $100 million.
The foregoing letters of intent are not binding and are subject to the
execution of definitive agreements, financing, and certain Government
approvals. No assurance can be given that any of these transactions will be
consummated.
MARKETING
PT-FI's copper concentrates, which contain significant gold and silver
components, are sold primarily under long-term, U. S. dollar-denominated
contracts, pursuant to which the selling price is based on world metals
prices, generally the London Metal Exchange ("LME") settlement prices for
Grade A copper metal, less certain allowances. Under a major long-term
contract signed in late 1990, approximately 44% of the concentrates produced
by PT-FI in 1993 were sold to a group of Japanese copper smelting companies.
PT-FI also supplies copper concentrates to other Asian, European and North
American smelters and international trading companies under long-term sales
agreements. Virtually all of PT-FI's 1993 production of copper concentrates
was sold under prior commitments, and PT-FI has commitments from various
parties to purchase virtually all of its estimated 1994 production of copper
concentrates. For further detail with respect to sales of concentrates, see
Note 8 to the FCX Financial Statements.
For average realizations per recoverable pound of copper,
see "Selected Financial and Operating Data" on page 17 of
FCX's 1993 Annual Report to stockholders. PT-FI has in place a
price protection program that eliminates exposure to copper price declines
below an average $.90 per recoverable pound for estimated copper sales priced
during 1994, while allowing full benefit to PT-FI for prices above that
level. The cost of the 1994 price protection program, $6 million, is
included in product inventories and is being amortized as an adjustment to
revenues as sales are priced during 1994.
REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
The economy of Indonesia is based on export commodity agriculture, the
extraction of petroleum, natural gas and other mineral resources, wholesale
and retail trade and, to an increasing extent, manufacturing. Indonesia has a
presidential republic system of government. President Suharto assumed power
in 1966 following an attempted communist coup and has been in power since
then. The Government has maintained a high degree of stability for the past
26 years. President Suharto was re-elected in March 1993 to serve a sixth
consecutive five-year term.
The Government has promoted policies designed to help develop Indonesia
economically and has encouraged foreign investment in numerous areas where
such investment would benefit the Indonesian economy. Indonesia's foreign
investment policy is expressed in the 1967 Foreign Capital Investment Law. It
provides basic guarantees of remittance rights and protection against
nationalization, a framework for incentives and some basic rules as to the
other rights and obligations of foreign investors. PT-FI's rights and
obligations relating to taxes, exchange controls, repatriation and other
matters are governed by the New COW, which was concluded pursuant to the 1967
Foreign Capital Investment Law.
PT-FI has had and continues to enjoy a good working relationship with
the Government. PT-FI's mining complex was Indonesia's first copper mining
project and was the first major foreign investment made in Indonesia following
the new economic development program instituted by the Suharto administration
in 1967. PT-FI works closely with the various levels of the Government in
development efforts in the vicinity of its operations. PT-FI incurs
significant costs associated with providing health and educational assistance,
job training, employment opportunities, agricultural assistance and other
community development services and facilities for the Indonesian people living
in the areas of its operations. In 1990 PT-FI established a foundation to
provide educational and work opportunities for the benefit of the people of
Irian Jaya. Over the next several years, PT-FI will contribute at least $10
million to the foundation for community projects. PT-FI also has in place a
long-term business development program to provide financing and support for
new and emerging businesses, many of which are expected to be suppliers of
goods and services for PT-FI's operations. Over time, PT-FI anticipates
investing $25 million in this program.
FCX has the benefit of political risk insurance from the Overseas
Private Investment Corporation, the Multilateral Investment Guaranty Agency
and other insurers, where available, which covers a portion of its interest in
PT-FI. The insurance is primarily designed to cover certain breach of
contract risks.
RIO TINTO MINERA, S.A.
In March 1993, FCX acquired a 65% interest in RTM, which is principally
engaged in the smelting and refining of copper in Spain, for approximately $50
million, excluding transaction costs. In December 1993, RTM redeemed the
remaining 35% interest for approximately $19 million. RTM has announced plans
to expand its smelter production capacity from its current 150,000 metric tons
of metal per year to approximately 180,000 metric tons of metal per year by
1995 at a cost of approximately $50 million. RTM is studying further
expansion to as much as 270,000 metric tons of metal production per year.
During 1993, PT-FI supplied RTM with approximately 90,000 metric tons of
copper concentrate and is expected to supply approximately 150,000 metric tons
in 1994, providing for approximately 20% and 33%, respectively, of RTM's
requirements in those years. Beginning in 1996, PT-FI is expected to provide
the RTM smelter with approximately one-half of its copper concentrate
requirements. For further information concerning RTM,
reference is made to the information set forth in Item 7 below.
EASTERN MINING COMPANY, INC.
FCX's subsidiary Eastern Mining was granted an exploration permit (the
"SIPP") in April 1993 which gives exclusive rights for a limited period to
explore for minerals on 2.5 million acres (the "SIPP Area") adjacent to the
New COW Area. Preliminary exploration of the SIPP Area is under way.
A draft of a contract of work ("Eastern Mining Draft") was initialled on
January 30, 1993 by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Indonesia and Eastern
Mining which covers the SIPP Area. The Eastern Mining Draft will be submitted
to the President of Indonesia, with execution of a definitive contract of work
expected in 1994. The Eastern Mining Draft, as initialled, provides for a
30-year term and for two 10-year extensions under certain circumstances. Upon
execution, an Indonesian limited liability company will be formed to hold the
definitive contract of work which initially is to be owned 80% by Eastern
Mining and 10% by each of PT-II and an unrelated Indonesian corporation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In February 1993, FTX outsourced its corporate engineering, research and
development, corporate environmental and corporate safety functions and, to
that end, contracted with a new company initially owned and staffed by former
employees of FTX, Crescent Technology, Inc. ("Crescent"), that furnishes
services to FTX. Crescent maintains engineering and mine development groups
in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provide engineering, design and construction
supervision activities required to implement new ventures and apply
improvements to existing operations of PT-FI and RTM.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
FTX and its affiliates, including FCX, have a history of commitment to
environmental responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before the general public
recognized the importance of maintaining environmental quality, FTX has
conducted, and continues to conduct, preoperational, bioassay, marine
ecological and other environmental surveys to determine the environmental
compatibility of its operations. FTX's Environmental Policy commits its
operations to full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. FTX has
contracted with Crescent whose environmental specialists develop and implement
environmental programs that include the activities of PT-FI.
The management of PT-FI believes that it is in compliance with
Indonesian environmental laws, rules and regulations. PT-FI had a team of
environmental scientists from a leading Indonesian scientific institution
conduct a study to update its 1984 Environmental Evaluation Study, with
particular focus on its 66,000 MTPD expansion program, and which addressed the
anticipated effect of PT-FI's expansion to 66,000 MTPD on the environment
within the study area including water quality, aquatic and terrestrial
biology, hydrology, geomorphology, oceanography, sociology and economics. The
study was submitted to the Government, and a formal hearing was held on the
document. The Government then requested PT-FI to update the document to
include future expansion plans. An additional environmental evaluation study
was submitted in late 1993 with respect to the proposed expansion of
production to 115,000 MTPD, and it was approved in February 1994.
PT-FI and RTM, through FTX, maintain insurance coverage in amounts
deemed prudent for certain types of damages associated with environmental
liabilities which arise from sudden, unexpected and unforeseen events.
PT-FI has made, and continues to make, expenditures at its operations
for protection of the environment. Government and public emphasis on
environmental matters can be expected to require PT-FI to incur additional
costs, which will be charged against income from future operations. It is
possible that the Government could revise its environmental laws and/or
regulations periodically. The impact, if any, of such possible revisions on
PT-FI's operations cannot be accurately predicted. However, PT-FI does not
anticipate that any investments which might be required will have a
significant adverse impact on its future operations, liquidity, capital
resources or financial position.
EMPLOYEES
In order to allow access to the FTX employee benefit plans for United
States citizens employed full time in PT-FI's and RTM's businesses, such
persons are formally employed by certain United States subsidiaries of FTX.
For all operational purposes, however, such individuals are regarded as
employees of PT-FI or RTM, respectively, and references herein to PT-FI or RTM
employees include such individuals.
FCX, PT-FI and FTX are parties to a Management Services Agreement (the
"Management Agreement") pursuant to which FTX furnishes general executive,
administrative, financial, accounting, legal, environmental, tax, research and
development, sales and certain other services to FCX and PT-FI. The term of
the Management Agreement is unlimited, subject to termination by any of the
parties on December 31 of any year and subject to at least six months' prior
written notice. FCX and PT-FI reimburse FTX at FTX's cost, including
allocated overhead, for such services on a monthly basis. For further
information with respect to the Management Agreement, including costs
reimbursed to FTX, reference is made to Note 9 to the FCX Financial
Statements.
As of December 31, 1993, PT-FI had a total of 6,054 employees
(approximately 94% Indonesian), compared with 4,983 employees (approximately
91% Indonesian) at year-end 1992. In addition, as of December 31, 1993, PT-FI
had approximately 6,600 contract workers, most of whom were Indonesian.
Approximately 40% of PT-FI's Indonesian employees are members of the All
Indonesia Workers' Union, which operates under Government supervision, with
which a labor agreement covering PT-FI's hourly paid Indonesian employees runs
until September 30, 1995. PT-FI experienced no work stoppages in 1993, and
relations with the union have generally been good. As of December 31, 1993,
RTM had a total of 1,216 employees, of which 1,003 employees are covered by
union contracts. RTM experienced limited work stoppages in 1993, but
relations with these unions have also generally been good.
COMPETITION
PT-FI competes with other mining companies in connection with the sale
of its mineral concentrates and the recruitment and retention of qualified
personnel. Some competing companies possess financial resources equal to or
greater than those of PT-FI. The management of FCX believes that PT-FI is one
of the lowest cost copper producers in the world, taking into account credits
for related gold and silver production.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
- ---------------------------
Although FCX may be from time to time involved in various legal
proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of its
business, the management of FCX believes that potential liability in any such
pending or threatened proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of FCX. FCX, through FTX,
maintains liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential
liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of its business as well
as other insurance coverages customary in its business, with such coverage
limits as management deems prudent.

Condition and Results of Operations.
-----------------------------------
ORE RESERVE ADDITIONS AND ONGOING EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Total estimated proved and probable recoverable reserves at P.T. Freeport
Indonesia Company (PT-FI), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.'s (FCX or the
Company) principal operating unit, have increased since December 31, 1992,
by 5.9 billion pounds of copper (a 28 percent increase), 7.0 million ounces
of gold (a 22 percent increase), and 32.0 million ounces of silver (a 72
percent increase), bringing PT-FI's total year-end 1993 estimated proved
and probable recoverable reserves to 26.8 billion pounds of copper, 39.1
million ounces of gold and 76.7 million ounces of silver. The increases,
net of production during the year, were added primarily at the Grasberg
deposit, but also include additions at the Company's underground mine at
the DOZ (Deep Ore Zone) deposit and the recently discovered Big Gossan
deposit.
In addition to continued delineation of the Grasberg deposit and other
deposits including Big Gossan, PT-FI is proceeding with its ongoing
exploration program for mineralization within the original mining area.
During 1993, PT-FI initiated helicopter-supported surface drilling of the
Wanagon gold/silver/copper prospect, located 1.5 miles northwest of Big
Gossan and 2 miles southwest of Grasberg, where seven holes were drilled.
Significant copper mineralization has been encountered below the 2,900
meter elevation.
Preliminary exploration of the new contract of work area (New COW
Area) has indicated numerous promising targets. Extensive stream sediment
sampling within the new acreage has generated analytical results which are
being evaluated. This sampling program, when coupled with regional mapping
completed on the ground and from aerial photographs, has led to the
outlining of over 50 exploration targets. PT-FI has also completed a
fixed-wing air-magnetometer survey of the entire New COW Area. Detailed
follow-up exploration of these anomalies by additional mapping and sampling
and through the use of both aerial and ground magnetic surveys is now in
progress. Systematic drilling of these targets has already commenced with
significant mineralization being discovered at several prospects.
Additional drilling is required to determine if any of these are
commercially viable. Initial surface and stream sampling began on an
additional 2.5 million acres, just north and west of our existing COW area,
on which an affiliate has an exploration permit and a pending COW.
1993 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1992
After discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), FCX is reclassifying certain expenses and accruals previously
recorded in 1993 as restructuring and valuation of assets. In response to
inquiries, the Company advised the SEC staff that $15.5 million originally
reported as restructuring and valuation of assets represented the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle resulting from the
adoption of the new accounting policies that the Company considered
preferable, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The
Company also informed the SEC staff of the components of other charges
included in the amount originally reported as restructuring and valuation
of assets. The Company concluded that the reclassification and the related
supplemental disclosures more accurately reflect the nature of these
charges to 1993 net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or net
income per share.
FCX reported 1993 net income applicable to common stock of $21.9
million ($.11 per share) compared with net income of $122.9 million ($.66
per share) for 1992. The results for 1993 reflect (a) a $15.7 million loss
for Rio Tinto Minera, S.A. (RTM) since its acquisition (Note 3) and (b)
charges totaling $52.6 million ($30.4 million to net income or $.15 per
share), of which $28.3 million was noncash, related to (1) restructuring
the administrative organization at Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX), the parent
company of FCX, (2) adjustments to general and administrative expenses and
site production and delivery costs discussed below, and (3) changes in
accounting principle, discussed further in Note 1 to the financial
statements. Operating income was lower in 1993 due to a lower gross margin
resulting primarily from lower copper realizations; higher exploration
expenses; administrative restructuring costs (Note 1); and higher general
and administrative costs. Also impacting net income were lower interest
expense resulting from reduced debt levels, a higher effective tax rate,
and an increase in preferred dividends (Notes 4 and 5).
Revenues in 1993 increased as a result of the acquisition of RTM,
adding sales of copper cathodes and anodes ($204.9 million), gold bullion
($57.4 million), and other products ($26.1 million). Excluding RTM,
revenues declined 4 percent when compared to 1992. Copper price
realizations, taking into account PT-FI's $.90 per pound price protection
program, were 12 percent lower than in 1992, but gold price realizations
were up 6 percent. Although ore production averaged 62,300 metric tons of
ore milled per day (MTPD) in 1993 (8 percent higher than in 1992), copper
sales volumes decreased slightly from 1992 primarily because of sales from
inventory in 1992. Gold sales volumes in 1993 benefited from significantly
higher fourth-quarter 1993 gold grades (a 46 percent increase over fourth-
quarter 1992 and a 38 percent increase over third-quarter 1993), which are
not anticipated to continue in 1994, and an increase in gold recovery rates
for the year which improve with higher gold grades. See Selected Financial
and Operating Data.
A reconciliation of revenues from 1992 to 1993 is presented below (in
millions):
Revenues - 1992 ........................................... $714.3
RTM revenues ........................................... 288.4
Elimination of intercompany sales.......................... (47.7)

Treatment charges 23.6
Adjustments to prior year concentrate sales ............. (13.0)
Other ............................................... 5.6
------
Revenues - 1993 $925.9
======
Revenues also benefited from a decline in treatment charges of 3.4
cents per pound from 1992, resulting from a tightening in the concentrate
market, as the industry's inventories were reduced for much of 1993.
Additionally, lower copper prices led to lower treatment charges since
these charges vary with the price of copper.
Adjustments to prior year concentrate sales include changes in prices
on all metals for prior year open sales as well as the related impact on
treatment charges. Open copper sales at the beginning of 1993 were
recorded at an average price of $1.04 per pound, but subsequently were
adjusted downward as copper prices fell during the year, negatively
impacting 1993 revenues. As of December 31, 1993, 213.4 million pounds of
copper remained to be contractually priced during future quotational
periods. As a result of PT-FI's price protection program, discussed below,
these pounds are recorded at $.90 per pound. The copper price on the
London Metal Exchange (LME) was $.84 per pound on February 1, 1994.
In June 1993, two of PT-FI's four mill level ore passes caved,
resulting in a blockage of a portion of the ore pass delivery system. The
blockage's primary effect was to limit mill throughput to approximately
40,700 MTPD for approximately eight weeks. The impact of the blockage was
minimized by using an ore stockpile adjacent to the mill and installing
conveyors to alternative ore pass systems. The ore pass blockage has been
rectified through the temporary use of alternative delivery systems and by-
passes. A permanent delivery system is expected to be in service by mid-
1994. The copper recovery rate for 1993 was adversely affected because the
ore milled from the stockpile contained higher than normal oxidized copper,
which yields lower copper recoveries. The Company's insurance policies are
expected to cover the property damage and business interruption claims
relative to the blockage.
PT-FI's unit site production and delivery costs, excluding the $10.0
million charge discussed below, increased slightly from 1992 primarily as a
result of costs incurred in connection with the ore pass blockage and an
increase in production overhead costs related to expansion activities.
Unit cash production costs declined significantly to 31.1 cents per pound
in 1993 from 40.7 cents per pound in 1992, benefiting from higher gold and
silver credits, lower treatment charges, and reduced royalties primarily
due to lower copper prices on which such royalties are based. PT-FI's
depreciation rate increased from 7.4 cents per recoverable pound during
1992 to 8.3 cents in 1993, reflecting the increased cost relating to the
66,000 MTPD expansion. As a result of the reserve additions discussed
earlier, PT-FI's depreciation rate is expected to decrease to 7.5 cents per
recoverable pound for 1994, absent any other significant changes in ore
reserves. In addition, FCX is amortizing costs in excess of book value
($2.4 million of amortization in 1993) relating to certain capital stock
transactions with PT-FI. Amortization of these excess costs is expected to
be $3.6 million per year starting in 1994.
Exploration expenditures in Irian Jaya totaled $31.7 million in 1993,
compared to $12.2 million in 1992 and are projected to be approximately $35
million in 1994. Exploration expenditures in Spain are expected to be
approximately $6 million in 1994.
FCX's general and administrative expenses increased from $68.5 million
in 1992 to $81.4 million in 1993 primarily because of the additional
personnel and facilities needed due to the expansion at PT-FI and the
acquisition of RTM. Included in the 1993 expense is $5.0 million for RTM
(since its acquisition in March 1993) and charges of $6.3 million primarily
consisting of a write-off of deferred charges incurred in 1992 related to a
planned securities offering that was withdrawn ($2.0 million) and costs to
downsize FCX's computing and management information systems (MIS) structure
($4.0 million).
Further increases in general and administrative expenses by FCX are
anticipated in conjunction with continuing expansion at PT-FI. General and
administrative expenses, including those of RTM, are currently expected to
increase by approximately 25 percent in 1994.
During the second quarter of 1993, FTX undertook a restructuring of
its administrative organization. This restructuring represented a major
step by FTX to lower its costs of operating and administering its
businesses in response to weak market prices of the commodities produced by
its operating units. As part of this restructuring, FTX significantly
reduced the number of employees engaged in administrative functions,
changed its MIS environment to achieve efficiencies, reduced its needs for
office space, outsourced a number of administrative functions, and
implemented other actions to lower costs. As a result of this
restructuring process, the level of FCX's administrative cost has been
reduced substantially over what it would have been otherwise, which benefit
will continue in the future. However, the restructuring process entailed
incurring certain one-time costs by FTX, portions of which were allocated
to FCX pursuant to its management services agreement with FTX.
FCX's restructuring costs totaled $20.8 million, including $10.7
million allocated from FTX based on historical allocations, consisting of
the following: $8.3 million for personnel related costs; $3.2 million
relating to excess office space and furniture and fixtures resulting from
the staff reduction; $6.1 million relating to the cost to downsize its
computing and MIS structure; and $3.2 million of deferred charges relating
to PT-FI's 1989 credit facility which was substantially revised in June
1993. As of December 31, 1993, the remaining accrual for these
restructuring costs totaled $1.5 million relating to excess office space.
In connection with the restructuring project, FCX changed its
accounting systems and undertook a detailed review of its accounting
records. As a result of this process, FCX recorded a $10.0 million charge
to site production and delivery costs comprised of the following: $5.0
million for materials and supplies inventory obsolescence; $2.5 million for
revised estimates of value added taxes and import duties related to prior
years; and $2.5 million of adjustments for various items identified in
converting its accounting system.
Interest expense was $15.3 million during 1993 compared with $18.9
million in 1992, excluding $24.5 million and $24.0 million of capitalized
interest, respectively.
The New COW provides a 35 percent corporate income tax rate for PT-FI
and a 15 percent withholding tax on interest for debt incurred after the
signing of the New COW and on dividends paid to FCX by PT-FI. The
additional withholding required on interest and on dividends paid to FCX by
PT-FI, and a $15.7 million loss by RTM for which no tax benefit is
recorded, results in a 1993 effective tax rate of 52 percent (Note 6).
TRENDS AND OUTLOOK - MARKETING
PT-FI's copper concentrates, which contain significant amounts of
recoverable gold and silver, are sold primarily under long-term sales
agreements which accounted for virtually all of PT-FI's 1993 sales. PT-FI
has commitments from various parties to purchase virtually all of its
estimated 1994 production. Concentrate sales agreements provide for
provisional billings based on world metals prices, primarily the LME,
generally at the time of loading. As is customary within the industry,
sales under these long-term contracts usually "final-price" within a few
months of shipment. Certain terms of the long-term contracts, including
treatment charges, are negotiated annually on a portion of the tonnage to
reflect current market conditions. Treatment charges have declined during
1993 as a result of the tightening in the concentrate market and are
expected to remain at or below 1993 levels. RTM has commitments from most
of its suppliers for 1994 treatment charge rates in excess of current spot
market rates.
The increased production at PT-FI has required it to market its
concentrate globally. Its principal markets include Japan, Asia, Europe
and North America. PT-FI's mill throughput is currently forecast to be
approximately 67,000 MTPD for 1994 as it continues to integrate new mill
equipment for the expansion to 115,000 MTPD. Current estimates for 1994
production are approximately 700 million pounds of copper and 780,000
ounces of gold for PT-FI and 165,000 ounces of gold at RTM. RTM, whose
smelter can be expanded, was acquired to provide low-cost smelter capacity
for a portion of PT-FI's concentrate and to improve PT-FI's competitive
position in marketing concentrate to other parties.
During 1993, copper prices dropped to their lowest levels since 1987,
reflecting lower demand caused by the continuing global recession, but
recovered to a level in excess of $.80 per pound. Prices for copper, gold,
and silver are influenced by many factors beyond the Company's control and
can fluctuate sharply. PT-FI has a price protection program for virtually
all of its estimated copper sales to be priced in 1994 at an average floor
price of $.90 per pound of copper, while allowing full benefit from prices
above this amount. Based on projected 1994 PT-FI copper sales of
approximately 720 million pounds, a 1 cent per pound change in the average
annual copper price received over $.90 per pound would have an
approximately $6 million effect on pretax operating income and cash flow.
Based on projected 1994 gold sales of approximately 800,000 ounces by PT-
FI, a $10 per ounce change in the average annual gold price received would
have an approximately $8 million effect on 1994 pretax operating income and
cash flow.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow from operations decreased to $158.5 million during 1993
compared with $252.6 million for 1992, due primarily to lower net income
and an increase in inventories. Materials and supplies increased over
year-end 1992 as additional explosives, reagents and chemicals, fuel, and
spare parts are required for the expanding PT-FI operations. For the year
ended December 31, 1993, consolidated working capital decreased by $352.0
million from December 31, 1992, primarily as a result of a $358.0 million
decrease in cash and short-term investments, which was used to reduce long-
term debt and fund capital expenditures, and the negative working capital
position of RTM.
Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $463.5 million compared
with $579.7 million in 1992. Capital expenditures increased 23 percent in
1993 due to increased expansion activities. During 1992, FCX acquired an
indirect interest in PT-FI for $211.9 million.
Cash flow used in financing activities totaled $53.1 million compared
with $618.2 million provided by financing activities in 1992. FCX issued
shares of its Step-Up Preferred Stock and its Gold-Denominated Preferred
Stock during 1993 for net proceeds totaling $561.1 million. Net proceeds
from the two offerings were used in part to reduce borrowings under the PT-
FI amended credit agreement by a net $537.0 million, thereby increasing the
facility's availability for general corporate purposes and the continued
expansion of mining and milling operations. Also in 1993, the Company
received net proceeds of $80.0 million from the sale of a portion of PT-
FI's infrastructure assets (Note 10). In 1992, $212.5 million was received
from the sale of a 10 percent interest in PT-FI to Indonesian investors in
December 1991 and $392.0 million was received from the sale of Class A
common stock and Special Preference Stock. Dividend payments rose in 1993
due to increased Class A shares outstanding and dividends paid on the
Special Preference and Preferred Stock issued in 1992 and 1993. FCX called
its Zero Coupon Exchangeable Notes (Note 7) for redemption in January 1994
(substantially all of which were exchanged for Class A common stock) and
completed a public offering of its Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, Series
II (Note 4) which yielded net proceeds of $158.5 million to be used
primarily for expansion related activities.
Cash flow from operations increased to $252.6 million during 1992
compared with $73.9 million for 1991, due primarily to higher net income.
Customer accounts receivable rose by $76.1 million to $130.6 million
because of increased sales. Partially offsetting the increase in
receivables was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
associated with expansion activities. Cash flow used in investing
activities increased to $579.7 million during 1992 compared with $240.0
million for 1991, due to increased capital expenditures for the 57,000 MTPD
expansion and the purchase of an indirect interest in PT-FI. Cash flow
from financing activities increased $415.8 million in 1992 compared with
1991, primarily due to the sale of Class A common stock, Special Preference
Stock, and a 10 percent interest in PT-FI to Indonesian investors. The
proceeds from these financing activities were used to purchase an indirect
interest in PT-FI and to fund ongoing expansion related expenditures.
RTM's principal operations currently consist of a copper smelter. The
FCX purchase proceeds will be used by RTM for working capital requirements
and capital expenditures, including funding a portion of the expansion of
its smelter production capacity (expected to cost approximately $50
million) from its current 150,000 metric tons of metal per year to 180,000
metric tons of metal per year by mid-1995. RTM is also studying further
expansion of the smelter facilities to as much as 270,000 metric tons of
metal production per year and is assessing the opportunity to expand its
tankhouse operations from 135,000 metric tons per year to 215,000 metric
tons per year. RTM's 1993 cash flow from operations was negative ($5.9
million) primarily due to cash requirements related to shut-down costs for
RTM's gold mine. RTM has relied on short-term credit facilities and the
FCX purchase proceeds to fund this shortfall. RTM is currently evaluating
financing alternatives to fund its short-term needs and to provide long-
term funding for expansion. RTM's future cash flow is dependent on a
number of variables including fluctuations in the exchange rate between the
United States dollar and the Spanish peseta, future prices and sales
volumes of gold, the size and timing of the smelter and tankhouse
expansions, and the supply/demand for smelter capacity and its impact on
related treatment and refining charges.
During 1992, the Company established the Enhanced Infrastructure
Project (EIP). The full EIP (currently expected to involve aggregate cost
of as much as $500 million to $600 million) includes plans for commercial,
residential, educational, retail, medical, recreational, environmental and
other infrastructure facilities to be constructed during the next 20 years
for PT-FI operations. The EIP will develop and promote the growth of local
and other third-party activities and enterprises in Irian Jaya through the
creation of certain necessary support facilities. The initial phase of the
EIP is under construction and is scheduled for completion in 1995.
Additional expenditures for EIP assets beyond the initial phase depend on
the long-term growth of PT-FI's operations and would be expected to be
funded by third-party financing sources, which may include debt, equity or
asset sales. As discussed in Note 10, certain portions of the EIP and
other existing infrastructure assets are expected to be sold in the near
future to provide additional funds for the expansion to 115,000 MTPD.
Through 1995, capital expenditures are expected to be greater than
cash flow from operations. Upon completion of the previously announced
115,000 MTPD expansion by year-end 1995, annual production is expected to
approach 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold.
Subsequently, capital expenditures will be determined by the results of
FCX's exploration activities and ongoing capital maintenance programs.
Estimated capital expenditures for 1994 and 1995 for the expansion to
115,000 MTPD, the initial phase of the EIP, ongoing capital maintenance
expenditures, and the expansion of RTM's smelter to 180,000 metric tons of
metal per year are expected to range from $850 million to $950 million and
will be funded by operating cash flow, sales of existing and to-be-
constructed infrastructure assets and a wide range of financing sources the
Company believes are available as a result of the future cash flow from PT-
FI's mineral reserve asset base. These sources include, but are not
limited to, PT-FI's credit facility and the public and private issuances of
securities (including the January 1994 public offering of Gold-Denominated
Preferred Stock, Series II).
The New COW contains provisions for PT-FI to conduct or cause to be
conducted a feasibility study relating to the construction of a copper
smelting facility in Indonesia and for the eventual construction of such a
facility, if it is deemed to be economically viable by PT-FI and the
Government of Indonesia (the Government). PT-FI has participated in a
group assessing the feasibility of constructing a copper smelting facility
in Indonesia.
PT-FI amended its $550.0 million credit agreement in June 1993. The
amended credit agreement, which, among other things eliminated a required
debt service reserve and provided a lower interest rate, is guaranteed by
FCX and FTX, and is structured as a three year revolving line of credit
followed by a 3 1/2 year reducing revolver. As of February 1, 1994, $425.0
million was available to PT-FI under the credit facility. To the extent
FTX and its other subsidiaries incur additional debt, the amount available
to PT-FI under the credit facility may be reduced (Note 7).
Payment of future dividends by FCX will depend on the payment of
dividends by PT-FI, which, in turn, depends on PT-FI's economic resources,
profitability, cash flow and capital expenditures. It is the policy of PT-
FI to maximize its dividend payments to stockholders, taking into account
its operational cash needs including debt service requirements. FCX
currently pays an annual cash dividend of 60 cents per share to its common
shareholders. Management anticipates that this dividend will continue at
this level through completion of the expansion in 1995, absent significant
changes in the prices of copper and gold. However, FCX's Board of
Directors determines its dividend payment on a quarterly basis and in its
discretion may change or maintain the dividend payment. In determining
dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors, including
current and expected future prices and sales volumes, future capital
expenditure requirements, and the availability and cost of financing from
third parties.
PT-FI has had good relations with the Government since it commenced
operations in Indonesia in 1967. The New COW provides that the Government
will not nationalize the mining operations of PT-FI or expropriate assets
of PT-FI. Disputes under the New COW are to be resolved by international
arbitration. The 1967 Foreign Capital Investment Law, which expresses
Indonesia's foreign investment policy, provides basic guarantees of
remittance rights and protection against nationalization, a framework for
incentives and some basic rules as to other rights and obligations of
foreign investors.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FTX and affiliates, including FCX, have a history of commitment to
environmental responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before public
attention focused on the importance of maintaining environmental quality,
FTX has conducted preoperational, bioassay, marine ecological, and other
environmental surveys to ensure the environmental compatibility of its
operations. FTX's Environmental Policy commits FTX's operations to full
compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
The Company believes it is in compliance with Indonesian environmental
laws, rules, and regulations. The Company had a team of environmental
scientists from a leading Indonesian scientific institution conduct a study
to update its 1984 Environmental Impact Assessment that covered expansion
to 66,000 MTPD. Subsequently, that document was expanded by other
independent scientists to cover all environmental aspects of the current
expansion to 115,000 MTPD. The latest study document was submitted to the
Government in December 1993. Based on preliminary hearings, the Company
believes the study document will be accepted substantially as submitted.
The Company has made, and will continue to make, expenditures at its
operations for protection of the environment. Increasing emphasis on
environmental matters can be expected to require the Company to incur
additional costs, which will be charged against income from future
operations. On the basis of its analysis of its operations in relation to
current and presently anticipated environmental requirements, management
does not anticipate that these investments will have a significant adverse
impact on its future operations, liquidity, capital resources, or financial
position.
1992 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1991
FCX reported 1992 net income of $122.9 million ($.66 per share)
compared with 1991 net income of $96.2 million ($.53 per share).
A reconciliation of revenues from 1991 to 1992
is presented below (in millions):
Revenues - 1991 .............................................. $467.5
Price realizations:
Copper ..................................................... 8.8
Gold........................................................ (7.4)
Sales volumes:
Copper...................................................... 218.5
Gold ....................................................... 95.7
Treatment charges............................................. (73.0)
Adjustments to prior year concentrate sales................... 12.5
Other......................................................... (8.3)
------
Revenues - 1992 .............................................. $714.3
======
Revenues increased 53 percent in 1992, reflecting higher production
rates due to the mine/mill expansion, higher gold grades, and the sale of
all year-end 1991 inventory. Price realizations were relatively unchanged
between years (2 percent increase in copper realizations and 5 percent
decrease in gold realizations), but sales volumes benefited significantly
from the expansion, higher gold grades, and inventory sales discussed
above. Copper sales volumes increased 48 percent and gold sales volumes
increased 71 percent. Partially offsetting the benefit from sales volumes
increases was a 3.6 cents per pound increase in treatment charges because
of tight market conditions in the smelting industry early in 1992 and
increased spot market sales attributable to higher than anticipated
production due to the early completion of the 57,000 MTPD expansion
program. A $5.7 million upward revenue adjustment was made in 1992
compared with a $6.8 million downward revenue adjustment in 1991 for prior
year concentrate sales contractually priced during the year.
Cost of sales for 1992 were $357.2 million, an increase of 47 percent
from 1991 due primarily to the 48 percent increase in copper sales volumes.
Unit site production and delivery costs in 1992 approximated 1991 costs.
FCX's depreciation rate declined from an average 8.7 cents per recoverable
pound in 1991 to 7.4 cents in 1992 because of the significant increase in
ore reserves during 1991.
Interest expense was $18.9 million during 1992 compared with $21.5
million in 1991, excluding $24.0 million and $18.3 million of capitalized
interest, respectively.
The 1992 general and administrative expenses rose to $68.5 million
from $40.6 million in 1991, because of several financing transactions and
operational and environmental studies in 1992 which required additional
corporate personnel whose salaries and related overhead, were charged to
the Company. General and administrative expenses also increased because of
the additional personnel and facilities needed in Indonesia for the
expanding operations.
Minority interest share of net income reflects FCX's 80 percent
ownership interest in PT-FI for 1992, compared with its 90 percent interest
during 1991.

a. Under the (PT-FI) residential loan policy, Mr. Pamuntjak, President of
PT-FI until December 31, 1990, Mr. Hoed, President of PT-FI effective
January 1, 1991, and Mr. Machribie, Vice President of PT-FI, borrowed
$525,450, $360,000 and $700,000, respectively.
Mr. Pamuntjak retired from PT-FI on December 31, 1990 and on January 1,
1991 signed a consulting services agreement with PT-FI. For the
performance of his services under this agreement, PT-FI forgave, as
compensation, 10 percent of the indebtedness in 1992. The consulting
services agreement with Mr. Pamuntjak was terminated in January 1993, at
which time Mr. Pamuntjak repaid the balance of the loan.
Effective September 1992, Mr. Hoed executed a new loan in the amount
of $256,625 which was used to pay off the remaining balance of the
existing loan; 10 percent of the principal amount of the new loan will
be forgiven annually.
Effective August 1992, Mr. Machribie borrowed $500,000 consisting of
one loan for $400,000 (First Loan) and a second loan for $100,000
(Second Loan). As long as Mr. Machribie remains in the employ of PT-
FI, 10 percent of the principal amount of the First Loan and 20
percent of the principal amount of the Second Loan will be forgiven
annually; a pro rata amount of $20,000 was forgiven in 1992.
Additionally, effective July 6, 1993, Mr. Machribie borrowed
$200,000. This loan will be repaid over 15 years through monthly
salary deductions in the amount of $1,100, which began in August 1993.

a. The footnotes contained in FCX's 1993 Annual Report to stockholders are
an integral part of these statements.
b. Effective December 31, 1991, PT-FI issued 21,300 of its shares,
representing a 10 percent interest in PT-FI, to a publicly traded entity
owned by Indonesian investors for $212.5 million, pursuant to an
agreement negotiated in early 1991. FCX guaranteed the buyer's
financing for this purchase and accordingly, deferred the gain on the
sale.
In December 1992, FCX purchased approximately 49 percent of the capital
stock of P.T. Indocopper Investama Corporation (PTII), a publicly
traded Indonesian entity which owned 10 percent of the outstanding
common stock of PT-FI. PTII acquired the 10 percent of the outstanding
common stock of PT-FI from the Indonesian investors who acquired the
shares on December 31, 1991. When FCX recorded its investment in PTII
it utilized purchase accounting and thus eliminated the deferred gain of
$138.6 million on the original sale to the Indonesian investors against
the cost of the 4.9 percent indirect interest in PT-FI. The excess cost
resulting from the purchase ($69.5 million) is reflected in FCX's
consolidated balance sheet as property, plant and equipment and is being
amortized over the remaining life of the Contract of Work (approximately
28 years), at a rate of approximately $2.4 million per year. This
property, plant and equipment is included in the condensed balance sheet
as part of FCX's investment in PTII.
