              FREEPORT-McMoRan INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DISTRIBUTION OF FCX INVESTMENT
In May 1994, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX) announced that it intends to pursue a
plan to separate its two principal businesses, metals and agricultural
minerals, into two independent financial and operating entities.  To
accomplish this plan, FTX would make a pro rata distribution of its common
stock ownership in Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) to the FTX
shareholders.  As a result of this distribution, which will require a series
of steps to implement, FTX would no longer own any interest in FCX.  The
spinoff of FCX will provide greater access to credit markets and reduce
financing costs for both FCX and Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited
Partnership (FRP).  The proposed distribution, which is expected to take six
to twelve months to implement, would be contingent on a number of factors
including (1) assurance that the distribution of FCX shares to FTX
shareholders will be tax-free, (2) completion of a restructuring of the
liabilities of FTX including its long-term debt, which may include the use of
a portion of the FCX shares currently owned by FTX, and (3) changing the
voting rights of FCX stockholders so that the Class B stockholders elect 80
percent of the FCX directors and the Class A stockholders and preferred
stockholders elect the balance.  The change in voting rights will be subject
to approval of the FCX Class A shareholders.  There can be no assurances that
these contingencies will be met.  

     Pursuant to the plan to distribute FTX's investment in FCX, in lieu of
paying a $.3125 quarterly cash dividend to its shareholders, FTX distributed
one FCX share for each 80 FTX common shares to shareholders of record on May
16, 1994.  FTX recorded a second-quarter gain of $38.3 million ($24.9 million
to net income or $.18 per share) related to this distribution.  Subsequent to
the distribution of FCX shares to FTX shareholders under the restructuring
plan, the FTX Board of Directors will determine a new dividend policy.

2.   SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE REDEMPTION
In March 1994, FTX purchased $79.8 million of its 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated
Debentures (the Debentures) resulting in a $5.5 million after-tax
extraordinary loss.  During the second quarter of 1994, FTX defeased the 
remaining $45.5 million of outstanding Debentures, resulting in an after-tax
charge of $3.6 million.

3.   McMoRan OIL & GAS CO.
In May 1994, FTX's Board of Directors declared a special distribution to its
common shareholders of one share of the common shares of its newly formed,
wholly owned subsidiary, McMoRan Oil & Gas Co. (MOXY) for each ten shares of
FTX common stock outstanding.  MOXY was organized for the purpose of carrying
on substantially all of the oil and natural gas exploration activities
previously conducted by FTX.  The net assets transferred to MOXY at FTX's
historical cost were as follows (in thousands):

 Cash and short-term investments                                 $35,441 
 Property, plant and equipment, net                               13,052 
 Current liabilities                                              (1,138)
                                                                 ------- 
   Stockholders' equity                                          $47,355 
                                                                 ======= 

4.   FCX REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OFFERINGS
In January 1994, FCX sold publicly 4.3 million depositary shares representing
215,279 shares of its Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, Series II.  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.  The net proceeds ($158.5
million) were loaned to P.T. Freeport Indonesia Company (PT-FI) for general
corporate purposes, including continued expansion of mining and milling
operations.  The Gold-Denominated Preferred Stock, Series II and the Gold-
Denominated Preferred Stock, originally sold in August 1993, are recorded at
their offering price and are being reflected as a hedge of future gold sales
for accounting purposes.  Based on the June 30, 1994 closing market price,
these shares had a market value of $400.1 million.

     In July 1994, FCX sold publicly 4.8 million depositary shares
representing 119,000 shares of its Silver-Denominated Preferred Stock for net
proceeds of approximately $95 million, excluding the over-allotment option. 
Each depositary share has a cumulative quarterly cash dividend equal to the
value of 0.04125 ounces of silver.  Annually, beginning on August 1, 1999, FCX
will redeem in eight equal installments a portion of the underlying Silver-
Denominated Preferred Stock, such that it will be fully redeemed by August 1,
2006.  The net proceeds will be loaned to PT-FI for general corporate
purposes, including continued expansion of mining and milling operations.

5.   REDEMPTION OF FCX ZERO COUPON EXCHANGEABLE NOTES
In December 1993, FCX called its Zero Coupon Exchangeable Notes (the Notes)
for redemption in January 1994.  During January 1994, Notes with a face amount
of $386.0 million were presented for exchange into 5.8 million shares of FCX
Class A common stock and the remaining Notes were redeemed for $.3 million in
cash.  As a result of the issuance by FCX of its Class A common stock, PT-FI
issued shares of its stock to FCX, bringing FCX's direct ownership in PT-FI to
81.3 percent at June 30, 1994.

6.   DEBT OFFERINGS
In February 1994, FRP sold publicly $150 million of 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2004.  Net proceeds were used to reduce other indebtedness.  

     In April 1994, P.T. ALatieF Freeport Finance Company B.V. (AFFC), a
wholly owned subsidiary of FCX, sold publicly $120 million of 9 3/4% Senior
Notes Due 2001.  Approximately $52 million of the net proceeds are expected to
be loaned to P.T. ALatieF Freeport Infrastructure Corporation and one or more
affiliated infrastructure companies during the third quarter of 1994 for the
purchase of approximately $77 million of infrastructure assets from PT-FI.  

7.   INTEREST COSTS
Interest expense excludes capitalized interest of $11.7 million and $19.6
million in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively, and $21.7
million and $38.0 million in the first six months of 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  

     FTX and its subsidiaries have at times entered into interest rate
exchange agreements to manage exposure to interest rate changes on a portion
of their floating-rate bank debt.  FTX has an 8.2 percent interest rate
exchange agreement entered into in 1986 on $150.0 million of financing until
April 1996, and FTX and FRP have 10.2 percent interest rate exchange
agreements entered into in late 1987 and early 1988 on $72.1 million of
financing at June 30, 1994, reducing $8.4 million annually through 1999.  PT-
FI also has an 8.3 percent interest rate exchange agreement entered into in
1991 on $75.6 million of financing at June 30, 1994, reducing $14.3 million
annually through 1999.  Under these interest swaps, FTX and its subsidiaries
received an average interest rate of 3.6 percent and 3.5 percent during the
first six months of 1994 and 1993, respectively, based on the London Interbank
Offering Rate (LIBOR), resulting in an additional interest cost of $3.6
million and $4.5 million in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively,
and $7.7 million and $8.9 million in the first six months of 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  Based on market conditions at June 30, 1994, unwinding these
interest swaps would require an estimated $16.8 million.  

8.   RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the first six months of 1994 was
1.7 to 1 compared with a shortfall of $252.3 million for the 1993 period.  For
this calculation, earnings are income from continuing operations before income
taxes, minority interests, and fixed charges.  Fixed charges are interest,
that portion of rent deemed representative of interest, and the preferred
stock dividend requirements of majority-owned subsidiaries.

     includes a $22.0 million gain to net income ($.15 per share) related to

     ($.15 per share) for the cumulative effect of changes in accounting

d.   Includes a $16.9 million gain to net income ($.12 per share) related to

     million ($.03 per share) after-tax charge for an extraordinary loss on
     the early extinguishment of debt (Note 2).

e.   Includes a $45.5 million gain to net income ($.33 per share) related to
     the distribution/conversion of FCX securities (Notes 1 and 5) and a $9.1
     million after-tax charge ($.07 per share) for the early extinguishment of
     debt.

     Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX) operating results reflect higher earnings
from its metals and agricultural minerals segments primarily due to higher
sales volumes and price realizations for many of its commodities.  The
significant decrease in second-quarter 1994 depreciation and amortization
expense results from the combined effect of several unrelated items,
consisting of (1) $9.3 million representing the adjustment to FRP's earnings
from its disproportionate interest in current cash distributions from the IMC-
Agrico Company joint venture and amortization of the excess of FRP's
proportionate share of the recorded amount of the joint venture's net assets
over its book value, (2) $18.7 million attributable to 1993 reductions in the
carrying amount of assets, and (3) the remainder resulting from the change in
the assets owned by FRP as a result of entering into the joint venture and
other factors, partially offset by increases from metals segment operations
due to higher sales volumes.  General and administrative expenses in the
second-quarter and six-month periods of 1993 include $15.8 million in charges
resulting from the restructuring project, while the six-month period of 1994
benefited from a $2.7 million reduction in the estimated cost of excess office
space (originally estimated in the second quarter of 1993 as part of the
restructuring project).  General and administrative expenses reflect the
benefits from the July 1, 1993 formation of the IMC-Agrico Company joint
venture and other restructuring activities in 1993 and increases in general
and administrative expenses at FTX's metals segment as a result of additional
personnel and administrative effort required to manage the expanding
operations, costs associated with arranging financing for the expansions at
PT-FI and RTM, and the inclusion of RTM results for a full six months in 1994. 
Interest expense increased primarily due to the Main Pass sulphur project
becoming operational for accounting purposes in July 1993; previously, Main
Pass development related interest costs were capitalized (Note 7).  

     FTX recognized earnings of $10.5 million and a loss of $40.8 million,
before income taxes, for the second quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively,
and earnings of $17.4 million and a loss of $84.2 million, before income
taxes, for the six-month period of 1994 and 1993, respectively,  which
represents its proportionate share of FRP's earnings.  This included
recognition of $15.5 million, $15.5 million, $28.1 million, and $31.1 million,
respectively, of the gain deferred by FTX in connection with the public sale
of FRP units in February 1992.  The remaining deferred gain ($4.6 million as
of June 30, 1994) will be recognized in the third quarter of 1994.  In the
future, FRP distributions that are not paid in full to FTX will result in FTX
recognizing a smaller share of any FRP earnings, or a larger share of any FRP
loss than would otherwise be recognized based solely on FTX's ownership
interest in FRP.  

Metals Operations
- ----------------- 
FTX's metals operations are conducted through its affiliate FCX and FCX's
operating units P.T. Freeport Indonesia Company (PT-FI) and Rio Tinto Minera,
S.A. (RTM).  Second-quarter 1994 metals operating income was $52.5 million on
revenues of $281.5 million compared with a loss of $18.5 million on revenues
of $215.0 million for the 1993 period.   For the six months ended June 30,
1994, FCX generated operating income of $105.7 million on revenues of $547.6
million compared with $7.0 million on revenues of $348.5 million for the year-
ago period.  Significant items impacting operating income are as follows (in
millions):

*     The second-quarter and six-month periods of 1993 included charges
      totaling $10.0 million in cost of sales and $6.3 million in general and
      administrative expenses resulting from the restructuring project.

      Contributing to higher revenues in the 1994 periods were improved price
realizations for copper (13 percent and 9 percent, respectively) and gold (9
percent and 12 percent, respectively).  Second-quarter and six-month copper
sales volumes rose 21 percent and 17 percent, respectively, as increased
production resulting from increased mill throughput was partially offset by
lower recoveries.  Gold sales volumes increased 46 percent and 45 percent over
the 1993 periods, respectively, reflecting the higher production resulting
from increased mill throughput and improvements in gold grades (19 percent and
17 percent, respectively) partially offset by lower gold recoveries.  The
lower recovery rates for copper and gold result from mining a harder-to-treat
ore.  Copper and gold grades and recovery rates are expected to improve in the
second half of 1994.  Treatment charges increased primarily due to higher
copper volumes and prices, as certain charges vary with the price of copper. 
Adjustments to prior period concentrate sales for the current quarter and six-
month period resulted in positive adjustments of $8.7 million and $3.0
million, respectively, primarily caused by favorable copper pricing
adjustments, compared to the 1993 periods when falling copper prices resulted
in negative adjustments of $3.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

a.   Excluding amounts recognized under PT-FI's copper price protection
     program, realizations for the second-quarter and six-month periods of
     1994 and 1993 would have been $.99, $.86, $.98, and $.87, respectively. 
     Including the adjustments discussed in Note b, realizations for the
     second-quarter and six-month periods of 1994 and 1993 would have been
     $1.07, $.84, $.99, and $.88, respectively.

b.   Reflects adjustments for prior period concentrate sales and amortization
     of the cost of the price protection program.

     PT-FI's second-quarter mill throughput rate increased 26 percent compared
with the 1993 period as the expansion activities continue toward a level of
115,000 MTPD by year-end 1995.  Mill throughput rates are expected to
approximate second quarter levels for the remainder of 1994.  PT-FI site
production and delivery costs totaled $103.6 million for the second quarter of
1994, a 40 percent increase over the 1993 period, excluding $10.0 million of
charges in 1993 related to the restructuring.  Unit site production and
delivery costs during the second quarter of 1994 increased 15 percent over the
year-ago period, excluding the 1993 charges discussed above, resulting from
lower production per ton mined (because of lower recoveries stemming from
harder-to-treat ore), higher jobsite administrative expenses, and expansion
related activities.  Unit site production and delivery costs for the remainder
of 1994 are expected to be lower than in the first six months as a result of
an anticipated improvement in grades and recoveries.  Second-quarter 1994 per
pound gold and silver credits increased 31 percent over the 1993 period
because of higher gold grades and realizations.  

     As a result of 1993 reserve additions, PT-FI's 1994 depreciation rate
decreased to 7.5 cents per pound compared with 8.3 cents for 1993.  

     In June 1994, copper prices rose above $1.10 per pound, primarily due to
strengthening global demand and reduced copper stocks, compared with 1993
prices which had dropped to the lowest levels since 1987.  Because of the
recent improvement in prices, PT-FI entered into contracts covering
substantially all of its expected remaining 1994 copper sales resulting in
prices of approximately $1.07 per pound for the second quarter (including a
positive adjustment of 5.1 cents primarily related to price increases on
copper pounds that were not final-priced at March 31, 1994), $1.04 per pound
for the third quarter and $1.05 per pound for the fourth quarter.  Included in
the fourth quarter expected price is $27.3 million cash received, which will
be recognized in fourth quarter revenues, from the settlement of certain 
contracts originally designed to hedge fourth quarter sales.  These contracts
were purchased in March and April of 1994 when copper prices were still below
$.90 per pound and were subsequently sold in June.  As a result, PT-FI's
average realized copper price is expected to approximate $1.02 per pound for
1994.  These actions by PT-FI provide it assured realizations for its 1994
copper sales that reflect the relatively high recent price of copper.  Copper
sales in the first quarter of 1994 averaged $.90 per pound, which exceeded the
then current market price, as a result of PT-FI's previous $.90 per pound
price protection program.  Revenues for the second-quarter and six-month
periods of 1994 and 1993 include net amounts recognized under the $.90 per
pound price protection program and the contracts referred to above totaling
$3.0 million, $9.4 million, $.4 million, and $6.7 million, respectively.  The
impact on earnings totaled $1.2 million, $3.7 million, $.2 million, and $2.7
million, respectively.  

     In March and April of 1994, PT-FI extended its price protection program,
at a cost of $21.7 million, to cover anticipated copper sales through 1995. 
For the first half of 1995, PT-FI's program established a minimum average
selling price of $.875 per pound, with full participation in any price
increase above an average of approximately $.97 per pound.  For the second
half of 1995, PT-FI's program established an average floor price of $.83 per
pound, while allowing full benefit from prices above that amount.  As of June
30, 1994, unwinding PT-FI's hedging position would require approximately $50
million.  As conditions warrant, PT-FI may modify or extend its existing price
protection program.  PT-FI has sales commitments from various parties for
virtually all of its estimated 1994 and 1995 production to be priced at the
then current market price under the terms of the contracts.

a.   RTM results are from March 30, 1993, the date of its acquisition.

b.   Excluding hedging adjustments primarily related to RTM's gold loans
     (9,200 ounces payable quarterly), realizations for the second-quarter and
     six-month periods of 1994 and 1993 would have been $381.62, $359.72,
     $382.83, and $359.72, respectively.

     For the second-quarter and six-month periods of 1994, RTM contributed
earnings of $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared with a loss
of $4.4 million for the period from acquisition to June 30, 1993.  RTM has a
hedging program for its gold sales that includes gold denominated loans and
forward contracts.  As of June 30, 1994, the unrecognized balance of the gold
denominated loans totaled approximately $5 million.  Revenues for the second-
quarter and six-month periods of 1994 and 1993 include amounts recognized
under the hedging program totaling $.5 million, $1.1 million, $1.2 million,
and $1.1 million, respectively.  Higher operating rates at RTM's smelter
resulted in a 10 percent increase in the amount of concentrate being treated
during the 1994 quarter compared with the 1993 period.  RTM has commitments
from most of its suppliers for 1994 treatment charges at rates in excess of
current spot market rates.  About one third of the contract terms have been
priced for 1995, when rates are expected to be lower because of changes in
market conditions.  Cathode refinery operations continued to maintain high
operating rates.  RTM's gold operations realized a mill throughput level
slightly above second-quarter 1993 levels; however, second-quarter 1994 gold
sales were lower than the 1993 period because of lower recoveries.  Third-
quarter 1994 RTM earnings and potentially future periods are expected to be
negatively impacted by the recent decline in the value of the U.S. dollar and
planned mining of lower grade ore at RTM's gossan mining operations.  

METALS EXPLORATION
During the quarter, PT-FI reported results from exploration activities within
its original 24,700 acre Contract Of Work (COW) area (Block A) as well as in
the adjacent 6.5 million acre COW area (Block B) and the 2.5 million acre
exploration permit area (Eastern Mining blocks).  Additional mineralization
was discovered at the Big Gossan, Wanagon and Lembah Tembaga prospects, all
within Block A.  Mineralization was also discovered at the Wabu prospect in
Block B and exploratory drilling has now begun at Etna Bay located within the
Eastern Mining Blocks.  Exploration expenses, currently budgeted at $44
million for 1994, including $6 million for RTM, totaled $19.6 million in the
six-month 1994 period compared with $15.7 million in the 1993 period.  

Agricultural Minerals Operations 
- --------------------------------
FTX's agricultural minerals segment, which includes FRP's fertilizer and
phosphate rock operations (conducted through its partnership interest in IMC-
Agrico Company which was formed effective July 1, 1993) and its sulphur
business, reported second-quarter 1994 operating income of $27.1 million on
revenues of $176.5 million compared with a loss of $85.4 million on revenues
of $186.8 million for the 1993 period.  Operating income for the first six
months of 1994 was $47.6 million on revenues of $349.0 million compared with a
loss of $102.3 million on revenues of $342.5 million for the year-ago period. 
Significant items impacting operating income are as follows (in millions):

     administrative expenses resulting from the restructuring project.

     FRP's proportionate share of the IMC-Agrico Company second-quarter 1994
sales volumes for diammonium phosphate (DAP), its principal fertilizer
product, decreased from FRP's high level of sales during the 1993 period. 
Industrywide domestic sales activity was lower due to an early domestic
planting season.  However, strong export purchases, especially by China,
continued during the current quarter and helped to keep DAP prices firm
despite a rise in producer inventories.  Second-quarter 1994 phosphate
fertilizer prices continued to strengthen from the already improved first-
quarter 1994 levels.  As a result, FRP's average DAP realizations for the 1994
periods were significantly improved from the near 20-year lows experienced
during the 1993 periods.  Unit production costs reflected higher ammonia
prices, offset by production efficiencies from IMC-Agrico Company.

     Strong export demand for phosphate fertilizer products for the remainder
of 1994 is expected to continue as key export customers, particularly China,
remain active in the marketplace.  Business in other international markets
such as India, Pakistan, and Latin America is expected to sustain a tight
supply/demand balance.  Normal summer plant maintenance turnarounds throughout
the industry should reduce industry operating rates during the third quarter. 
Additionally, since late-1992, phosphate fertilizer exports from the former
Soviet Union have declined by nearly 40 percent and are not likely to rebound. 
From an FRP standpoint, the completion of spring planting contributed to IMC-
Agrico Company idling its Taft, Louisiana fertilizer plant and accelerating
the plant maintenance turnarounds at three of its fertilizer facilities.  

     FRP's proportionate share of the larger IMC-Agrico Company phosphate rock
operation caused second-quarter and six-month 1994 sales volumes to increase
24 percent and 20 percent from the 1993 periods, respectively.

a.   Certain information prior to the July 1, 1993 formation of IMC-Agrico
     Company was not recorded on a basis consistent with that currently being
     presented and therefore is not available.  Reflects FRP's 46.5 percent
     share of the assets of IMC-Agrico Company during the year ended June 30,
     1994, while FRP received 58.6 percent of the cash flow generated during
     such period.  FRP's share of the assets of IMC-Agrico Company during the
     year ended June 30, 1995 is 45.1 percent, while it will receive 55.0
     percent of the cash flow generated during such period.  
b.   Represents average realization f.o.b. plant/mine.
c.   Includes 187,700 tons, 413,200 tons, 374,800 tons, and 750,600 tons for
     the second-quarter and six-month periods of 1994 and 1993, respectively,
     which represent internal consumption and Main Pass start-up sales that
     are not included in sales for accounting purposes.

     Sulphur production for the 1994 periods increased over the 1993 period
levels with Main Pass operations averaging nearly 6,200 tons per day during
the current quarter (exceeding full design operating rates of 5,500 tons per
day or approximately 2 million tons per year), helping to lower unit
production costs.  Production is expected to be near the 6,000 tons per day
level for the immediate future.  Further efforts to optimize earnings and cash
flow are being made, including a "water load" management program which should
further improve unit costs.  Due to the increased production from Main Pass,
FRP ceased operating the marginally profitable Caminada mine in January 1994,
with no material impact on FRP's earnings.  Sulphur realizations for the 1994
periods were significantly lower, reflecting the decline in prices which
occurred throughout 1993.  Improved phosphate fertilizer operating rates,
coupled with reduced imports from Canada and Mexico and lower sulphur
recoveries from oil refineries, resulted in a $6 to $8 per ton improvement in
Tampa, Florida sulphur prices early in the third quarter of 1994; however,
Canadian producers continue to increase  inventories and FRP does not
anticipate a major increase in sulphur prices for at least the near term.

     In late June 1994, a hole was found in the top of a phosphogypsum
storage area at the New Wales, Florida, facility of IMC-Agrico Company.  IMC
Fertilizer, Inc., as operator of the joint venture, is assessing what actions
are necessary and appropriate in the circumstances.  The joint venture accrued
as of June 30, 1994, estimated costs of $1.9 million to rectify the situation. 
While there is no evidence that indicates the hole will result in significant
liability for the joint venture, the issue of possible underground water
contamination in areas away from the New Wales facility as a result of the
hole is being investigated by IMC-Agrico Company.  If this were to be the
case, the costs that would be required are uncertain and cannot be estimated
at the present.  If significant costs were incurred, which IMC-Agrico Company
considers unlikely, a determination would be necessary with respect to the
availability of insurance maintained by the joint venture and separately by
FRP and to the appropriate sharing of costs pursuant to the agreement between
the joint venture partners as it relates to environmental matters.


Oil And Gas Operations 
- ----------------------
Prior to the distribution of McMoRan Oil & Gas Co. shares to FTX shareholders,
FTX's oil and gas operations (excluding the Main Pass oil operation) involved
exploring for new reserves.  These activities generated losses of $2.8 million
and $11.1 million, including exploration expenses of $1.3 million and $5.4
million, for the second-quarter and six-month period of 1994, respectively,
compared with losses of $25.6 million and $31.1 million, including exploration
expenses of $6.2 million and $10.7 million, for the 1993 periods,
respectively.  See Note 3 to the financial statements regarding the formation
of McMoRan Oil & Gas Co.

     Main Pass's oil operations achieved the following:

                                Second Quarter             Six Months       
                               -----------------     ----------------------

 Average realized price          $14.52   $16.01        $12.88       $15.86

     Second-quarter 1994 oil production for the Main Pass joint venture (in
which FRP owns a 58.3 percent interest) was hampered by mechanical problems,
which have been corrected, at one of the two oil platforms and by the
anticipated increase in water encroachment into the producing oil wells.  FRP
recently initiated the drilling of additional wells at an estimated cost to
FRP of approximately $4 million.  As a result, FRP's 1994 net production is
currently expected to be slightly under 3 million barrels.  Oil realizations
continue to reflect the significant price declines which occurred in late
1993; although prices have improved throughout 1994, and continued improving
into the third quarter of 1994.  

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow from operating activities increased to $164.0 million during the
first six months of 1994 from $7.2 million for the 1993 period, primarily due
to higher operating income and changes in working capital.  Net cash used in
investing activities was $319.7 million compared with $260.1 million for the
1993 period.  Increased metals capital expenditures associated with the PT-FI
and RTM expansions were partially offset by lower Main Pass expenditures and
the early receipt of proceeds from the geothermal notes receivable (reflected
in long-term receivables).  Net cash provided by financing activities was
$143.4 million, whereas the 1993 period resulted in a use of $121.1 million. 
The 1994 period includes proceeds totaling $420.9 million from the public
sales of FCX and FRP securities (Notes 4 and 6).  Distributions to FCX
minority interests increased during 1994 as a result of increased FCX public
common shares outstanding and dividends paid on preferred stock issued during
the second half of 1993 and January 1994.  Debt repayments include $142.9
million paid to purchase and defease FTX's 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated
Debentures (Note 2).

     Through 1995, PT-FI's capital expenditures are expected to exceed cash
flow from its operations.  Upon completion of the 115,000 MTPD expansion by
year-end 1995, PT-FI's annual production is expected to be approximately 1.1
billion pounds of copper and 1.5 million ounces of gold.  Subsequently,
capital expenditures will be determined by the results of exploration
activities and ongoing capital maintenance programs.  Remaining capital
expenditures in 1994 and 1995 for the expansion to 115,000 MTPD, the initial
phase of the EIP, and ongoing capital maintenance expenditures are expected to
range from $600 million to $700 million and will be funded by operating cash
flow, sales of existing and to-be-constructed infrastructure assets and other
financing sources.  These sources include, but are not limited to, the PT-
FI/FTX credit facility (which had $242.0 million availability at July 22,
1994) and public and private issuances of securities.  PT-FI's long-lived,
low-cost reserve base provides its potential access to a broad range of
sources of capital.

     The full EIP (currently expected to involve an aggregate cost of up to
$500 million to $600 million to be completed in stages) includes 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 1996.  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 below, 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.

     PT-FI has 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 million.  The sale of the first group of assets to the
ALatieF Joint Venture was completed in December 1993 for $90 million.  Debt
financing for the remaining sales, which are anticipated for 1994 and later,
was finalized through the issuance of $120 million of 9 3/4% Senior Notes,
which are guaranteed by FCX.  The next sale (approximately $77 million) is
expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1994.

     PT-FI has also entered into Letters of Intent to sell: (i) existing and
to-be-constructed power generation and transmission assets and certain other
power-related assets; (ii) certain aircraft, airport and related operations;
and (iii) certain construction equipment, port facilities and related marine,
logistics and related assets to other joint ventures.  The sales to these
joint ventures are expected to generate approximately $315 million (net of
equity contributions) over the next two years.  These Letters of Intent are
not binding and are subject to the execution of definitive agreements,
financing, and certain approvals from the Indonesian Government.

     RTM's principal operations currently consist of a copper smelter with an
annual capacity of 150,000 metric tons of metal.  In June 1994, RTM signed a
turnkey contract to expand its smelter to 270,000 metric tons of metal per
year by early 1996.  The contract requires payments in both deutsche marks and
pesetas, however RTM has hedging arrangements that fix the cost of the
expansion program at approximately $215 million.  Project financing of $270
million, which is nonrecourse to FCX, has been arranged, which will also
provide funds for refinancing RTM's gold and silver loans and working capital
loans.  The financing arrangement requires an additional equity contribution
of $30 million, which is being sought from third parties.  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 (a one
peseta change in the exchange rate has an approximately $1 million impact on
RTM's cash flow and net income), future prices and sales volumes of gold, the
production rates at the smelter during the expansion program and during
anticipated major maintenance turnarounds, and the supply/demand for smelter
capacity and its impact on related treatment and refining charges.  PT-FI has
a long-term contract with RTM to provide the smelter with a significant
portion of its copper concentrate requirements.

     PT-FI's COW calls for it to conduct a feasibility study for the
construction of a copper smelting facility in Indonesia and for the eventual
construction of such a facility by PT-FI, if it is deemed to be economically
viable by PT-FI and the Government of Indonesia.  FCX recently announced that
PT-FI and RTM have now taken the lead role in developing the proposed 150,000
to 200,000 metric tons of metal per year copper smelter in Gresik, Indonesia. 
It is contemplated that PT-FI would provide approximately 50 percent of the
annual concentrate requirements of the Gresik smelter.  Preliminary
engineering on the proposed smelter has been completed and management is
currently reviewing possible alternatives for financing the estimated $650
million to $700 million construction cost.  The smelter could be operational
as early as 1998.  

     Publicly owned FRP units have cumulative rights to receive quarterly
distributions of 60 cents per unit through December 31, 1996 (the Preference
Period) before any distributions may be made to FTX.  On July 19, 1994, FRP
declared a distribution of 60 cents per publicly held unit ($30.3 million),
payable August 15, 1994, bringing the total unpaid distribution to FTX to
$303.1  million.  Unpaid distributions due FTX will be recoverable from part
of the excess of future quarterly FRP distributions over 60 cents per unit for
all units.  The July 1994 distributable cash included $34.4 million from IMC-
Agrico Company.  FRP will receive a total of $55.2 million of distributions
from IMC-Agrico Company, including $12.9 million from working capital
reductions and $7.9 million from the sale of an asset which will be used to
reduce FRP's long-term debt.  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 sulphur
and oil operations.  

     FTX is primarily a holding company and its sources of cash flow are
dividends and distributions from its ownership in FCX and FRP.  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.  During the second
quarter, in lieu of paying a $.3125 quarterly cash dividend to its
shareholders, FTX distributed one share of FCX Class A common stock for each
80 FTX common shares to shareholders of record on May 16, 1994. Subsequent to
the distribution of FCX shares to FTX shareholders under the proposed
restructuring plan (Note 1), the FTX Board of Directors will determine a new
dividend policy appropriate for FTX.
