                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To Pennzoil Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet attributable to the domestic
sulphur operations of Pennzoil Company's sulphur division identified in Note 1
(the Business) as of December 31, 1993, and the related statements of
operations and divisional equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Business's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Business as of
December 31, 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                      PENNZOIL DOMESTIC SULPHUR BUSINESS

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, is
unaudited.)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:
In 1986, Pennzoil Sulphur Company was organized as a Nevada Corporation and
received a capital contribution of all of Pennzoil Company's (Pennzoil's)
sulphur operations, including properties and related assets and liabilities. 
All assets and liabilities contributed were recorded at historical cost.  In
October 1991, Pennzoil Sulphur Company was dissolved; all assets and
liabilities were transferred at cost back to Pennzoil and the operations have
been operated as a separate division (Pennzoil Sulphur) of Pennzoil since that
time.

In October 1994, Pennzoil entered into an agreement to sell substantially all
of the domestic operating assets (the Business) of Pennzoil Sulphur to
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership (Freeport-McMoRan),
pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement).  As
consideration under the Agreement, (a) Freeport-McMoRan will assume certain
liabilities relating to or arising out of the Business, including
environmental and employee severance obligations, (b) Pennzoil will receive a
series of quarterly installment payments from Freeport-McMoRan based on
prevailing future market prices of sulphur over a period not to exceed 20
years and (c) Freeport-McMoRan will purchase any remaining dry sulphur
inventory over a 30-month period to the extent such inventory is not sold in
export markets.  In connection with this transaction, Pennzoil Sulphur
recorded a valuation adjustment charge of $50.2 million in September 1994 to
reduce Pennzoil Sulphur's carrying amounts to their net realizable value. 
Completion of this transaction, which is anticipated by December 31, 1994, is
subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of required
governmental approvals.

The Business includes only the domestic assets, liabilities, operations and
cash flows of Pennzoil Sulphur.  Foreign assets, liabilities, operations and
cash flows of Pennzoil Sulphur are excluded as they are not included as part
of the sale of operating assets to Freeport-McMoRan.

Operations of the Business include the mining and marketing of sulphur
produced from its Culberson County property in West Texas.  Sulphur sales are
made primarily to phosphate industry customers for use in the manufacture of
phosphate fertilizer materials.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:      
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements include the
accounts of the Business.  All significant intradivisional accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.  Earnings per share data has not been
provided because the Business is part of a wholly owned division of Pennzoil.

Receivables - Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $.7 million and $.8 million at December 31, 1993, and
September 30, 1994, respectively.

The Business extends credit to various companies in the sulphur industry in
the normal course of business.  Within this industry, a concentration of
credit risk exists.  Because sulphur sales are primarily made to customers for
use in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer materials, changes in economic
or other conditions within this industry may impact the Business's overall
credit risk.  At December 31, 1993, and September 30, 1994, receivables
related to this group concentration were $7.5 million and $7.1 million,
respectively.  Decisions to extend credit and the amount of collateral
required are based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparties on
a case-by-case basis.

Inventories - Substantially all sulphur inventories are reported at cost using
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which is lower than market.  Inventories
valued on the LIFO method totaled $18.8 million at December 31, 1993, and
$17.3 million at September 30, 1994.  The current cost of LIFO inventories was
approximately $19.6 million and $21.2 million at December 31, 1993, and
September 30, 1994, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. Major development expenditures at operating mines which are expected to
benefit future production are capitalized and depreciated on the unit-of-
production method based on estimated quantities of commercially recoverable
minerals.  Exploration costs associated with operating mines and development
costs to maintain production of operating mines are charged to expense as
incurred, as are maintenance and repair costs.

Exploration costs related to specific undeveloped projects are initially
capitalized.  If commercially recoverable minerals are not discovered, the
exploration costs are expensed.  Exploration costs not identified with a
specific project are charged to expense as incurred.  The carrying amounts of
mines are reviewed periodically, and an impairment reserve is provided as
conditions warrant.  

Sulphur properties are generally depreciated and depleted on the unit-of-
production method, except for assets having an estimated life less than the
estimated life of the mineral deposits, which are depreciated on the straight-
line method.  The useful lives of assets being depreciated on a straight-line
basis range from three to thirty-five years.

Other Liabilities - Other liabilities consist of the following obligations
allocated to the Business by Pennzoil (expressed in millions):

                                                 December 31,   September 30,

                                                     $2.5            $3.9    
                                                     ====            ====    

Cash Flow Information - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
are considered to be cash equivalents.  Income taxes either allocated by and
credited to Pennzoil or paid directly to taxing authorities were $7.2 million
in 1993 and $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

Interim Financial Data - The financial statements and related information of
the Business as of and for the period ended September 30, 1994, have been
prepared by management of the Business in accordance with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for interim financial reporting. 
Accordingly, these financial statements and related information have been
prepared without audit, and certain information and note disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  In the opinion
of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring entries, which are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations of the Business for the
periods presented, and the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.

3.  FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES:
The Business is allocated an amount of federal income taxes equal to the
amount of federal income taxes that it would pay if it was a separate
corporate entity filing a separate return.

The Business s deferred tax asset and liabilities are as follows (expressed in

Net deferred tax liability                         $7.0             $  -     
                                                   ====             =====    

The deferred tax asset resulted from the financial statement write-down of
sulphur assets to their net realizable value in connection with the sale of
substantially all of the Business s domestic operating assets (see Note 1),
which created a tax basis in excess of that reported for financial reporting
purposes.  The valuation allowance of $10.2 million at September 30, 1994, was
provided based on the likelihood that the Business s deferred tax asset will
only be realized to the extent that existing taxable temporary differences
reverse in future periods. Deferred tax liabilities result primarily from
temporary differences in the tax versus financial reporting recognition of
mine exploration and development costs and depreciation, and depletion and
amortization of property, plant and equipment.

4.    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Business has engaged in various transactions with Pennzoil and its
affiliates that are characteristic of entities under common control.  As such,
excess cash generated by the Business is transferred to Pennzoil on a regular
basis.  In addition, Pennzoil directly funds the Business s operations. 
Contributions from Pennzoil have no defined repayment terms, are noninterest-
bearing and are included in divisional equity in the accompanying balance
sheet.  Pennzoil allocates costs and expenses to the Business for various
costs incurred by Pennzoil directly associated with the Business s operations.

The Business was charged $22.9 million and $11.7 million during 1993 and the
nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively, for salaries, wages,
retirement and postretirement benefits provided by Pennzoil.  Of this amount,
$20.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, are reflected in cost of sales,
and $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, are reflected in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations.  The Business was also charged $1.3 million in 1993 and
$.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994, for legal and
administrative services and computer rentals.  These charges are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations.

In addition to general and administrative costs directly associated with the
Business s operations, Pennzoil has furnished to the Business certain
financial, administrative, legal and other staff functions and services.  The
costs of providing such functions and services have been allocated to the
Business using a method based on total assets, revenues and number of
employees.  Management believes such charges are equal to or less than what
the Business would have incurred to obtain such services on its own.  Such
charges were $4.2 million in 1993 and $2.3 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, and are reflected as management fees in the accompanying
statement of operations.

5.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Total operating lease rental expense was $2.4 million in 1993 and $1.5 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Aggregate minimum rental
obligations subsequent to December 31, 1993, under noncancelable leases for
the years ending December 31, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998, are estimated
to be $2.1 million, $.4 million, $.4 million, $.4 million and $.4 million,
respectively.

Pennzoil has been notified by the state of Texas that royalty payments for
sulphur produced from its Culberson mine from 1974 to 1986 have been
underpaid.  Pennzoil management believes that the state s claim for additional
royalties is without merit.  As such, Pennzoil management believes that the
ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the
financial statements of the Business.  This claim is not included as part of
the liabilities to be assumed by Freeport-McMoRan in the sale discussed in
Note 1.

                    Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements


          The accompanying Pro Forma Statements of Operations have been
     prepared assuming the transactions discussed below occurred on January 1, 
     1993, whereas the Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet assumes the
     transactions occurred on September 30, 1994.  The pro forma financial
     statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that
     would have been achieved nor are they indicative of future results.

          Both acquisitions afford Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited
     Partnership (FRP) the opportunity to generate significant cost savings
     through operating synergies; however, for purposes of these pro forma
     financial statements no anticipated cost reductions or efficiencies have
     been reflected.

1.   Pennzoil Acquisition
     On January 4, 1995, FRP, a Delaware limited partnership and a 51.4
     percent owned affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX), acquired
     essentially all of the domestic assets of Pennzoil Sulphur Company
     (Pennzoil Sulphur), a division of Pennzoil Company, effective January 1,
     1995.  Pennzoil Company will receive quarterly payments from FRP over 20
     years based on the prevailing price of sulphur.  The installment payments
     may be terminated earlier by FRP through the exercise of a $65 million
     call option, or by Pennzoil Company through a $10 million put option. 
     Neither option may be exercised prior to 1999.  The historical financial
     statements of the acquired Pennzoil Sulphur assets adjusted to reflect
     the pro forma impact of the acquisition by FRP follow:

2.   Fertiberia Acquisition
     FRP has agreed in principle to acquire Fertiberia, S.L., the restructured
     nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer business of Ercros, S.A., a Spanish
     conglomerate.  Since September 1993, FRP has managed this company with
     the goal of establishing Fertiberia as a financially viable concern.  FRP
     intends to continue to work with the Spanish authorities in improving the
     operations of Fertiberia and eventually to acquire essentially all of the
     company's capital stock, in return for agreeing to make a capital
     contribution of $11.5 million upon closing and a further contingent
     payment of $10 million in January 1998.  As part of the agreement, $38.5
     million of nonrecourse financing has been arranged at Fertiberia with
     payment terms dependent upon its financial performance.  The acquisition
     of Fertiberia, one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers in Europe, is
     conditioned upon satisfaction of a number of issues.

          Under the current terms of the preliminary purchase agreement, FRP
     would record a significant amount of negative goodwill (shown as "other
     liabilities" in the Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet) associated with
     the Fertiberia purchase.  This negative goodwill is being amortized based
     on Fertiberia's historical depreciable lives and results in a decrease to
     depreciation and amortization expense.
