                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator and Participants
of the Celeron Corporation Employee Savings
Plan (sponsored by Celeron Corporation)



In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Celeron Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") (sponsored by
Celeron Corporation) at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The accounts of the Celeron Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan")
     are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with
     The Northern Trust Company (the "Trustee") Trust Agreement, effective as of
     November 1, 1995.

     TRUST ASSETS

     Savings plans sponsored by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain
     subsidiaries (the "Company") maintain their assets in a master trust
     administered by the Trustee. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Company
     sponsored five savings plans. The Plan's undivided interest in the trust is
     presented in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the
     allocation made by the Trustee. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan's
     undivided interest in the master trust was 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively.

     ASSET VALUATION

     The majority of the assets of the Plan are valued at fair market value.
     Investments in the Company Stock Fund are valued at the last reported sales
     price on the last business day of the month. If no sales were reported on
     that date, the shares are valued at the last bid price. Investments held in
     the Stable Value Fund are invested in various instruments that have a rate
     of return, and are reported at contract value. Investments in the
     Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund,
     Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small
     Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund,
     and the International Stock Equity Fund are valued based on units of
     participation in commingled funds and mutual funds as reported by the fund
     manager, which approximates fair market value. The allocation of assets,
     interest and dividend income, and realized and unrealized appreciation and
     depreciation is made based upon contributions received and benefits paid by
     each participating plan on a monthly basis.

     INCOME RECOGNITION

     Employer and employee contributions are recognized in Plan equity on the
     accrual basis of accounting.

     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     Interest income is recorded as earned.

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

     Appreciation or depreciation on Company common stock distributed to
     participants is the difference between the weighted average cost and the
     current market value at the time of distribution.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The Stable Value Fund of the Plan invests part of the fund in investment
     contracts of financial institutions with strong credit ratings and has
     established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities that
     maintain safety and liquidity.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the basic financial
     statements and related notes to financial statements. Changes in such
     estimates may affect amounts reported in future years.

2.   GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN:

     INCEPTION

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan which became effective April l,
     1985.

     ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING

     On July 30, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
     liabilities of its oil transportation business, which includes Celeron
     Corporation, to Plains All American Inc., a subsidiary of Plains Resources
     Inc. As a result of the sale, there are no longer any active participants
     in the Plan; however, the account balances of each participant under the
     Plan on July 31, 1998 are 100% vested and non-forfeitable.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     Through July 30, 1998, eligible employees were able to contribute any whole
     percent from 1% to 16% of earnings including wages, bonuses, commissions,
     overtime and vacation pay into the Plan. Participating employees were able
     to elect to invest their contributions in the Stable Value Fund,
     Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund,
     Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small
     Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund,
     the International Stock Equity Fund, or in any combination of these eight
     funds in multiples of 1%. The Company calculated

CELERON CORPORATION
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

     and deducted employee contributions from gross earnings each pay period
     based on the percent elected by the employee. Employees were able to change
     their contribution percent at any time up to the 15th day of the month for
     changes to be effective on the first day of the following month. Employees
     were able to transfer amounts attributable to employee contributions from
     one fund to the other on a daily basis. Eligible employees could enroll in
     the Plan effective on the 1st day of the month by enrolling by the 15th day
     of the prior month. Employees were able to suspend their contributions at
     any time effective immediately.

     Effective July 31, 1998, participants are no longer permitted to make
     contributions to the Plan, except for tax deferred contributions resulting
     from salary reduction amounts with respect to compensation paid to the
     participant on or before July 31, 1998. Consequently, the Company shall not
     have any liability to make matching employer contributions under the Plan
     except for those contributions related to the period ending July 31, 1998.

     Employees who are 52 years of age or older are able to transfer employer
     contributions from the Company Stock Fund into the Plan's other investment
     funds.

     The Plan has been established under section 401 of the Internal Revenue
     Code. Therefore, employee and employer contributions to the Plan are not
     subject to federal withholding tax, but are taxable when they are withdrawn
     from the Plan.

     The Board of Directors of the Company determines the matching percent used
     as the employer contribution for each Plan year. The Company matching
     contributions are limited to the first 6% of employee contributions at the
     rate of 50% and employee contributions are limited to $10,000 in 1999 and
     1998.

     INVESTMENTS

     The Trustee of the Plan maintains the following ten funds under the Plan:

     -    Stable Value Fund - Employee contributions are invested in various
          investment contracts which provide for rates of return for particular
          periods of time. The Guaranteed Investment Contracts and the
          Short-Term Investments Fund are the current investments related to
          this fund.

          capital growth. The Templeton Foreign Fund is the current investment
          related to this fund.

     -    Loan Investment Fund - Employee contributions are transferred from
          other funds into the Loan Investment Fund, and then loaned to the
          participant. The interest rate on the loan is prime plus 1%. The
          Promissory Notes are the current investments related to this fund.

     -    Company Stock Fund - Employer contributions are invested in Goodyear
          common stock except for short-term investments needed for Plan
          operations. During 1999, the price per share of Goodyear common stock
          on The New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions ranged from
          $25.50 to $66.75 ($45.88 to $76.75 during 1998). The closing price per
          share was $28.06 at December 31, 1999 ($50.44 at December 31, 1998).
          The common stock of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and the
          Short-Term Investments Fund are the current investments related to
          this fund.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock
     Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization
     Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, Loan Investment
     Fund, and Company Stock Fund have been established for each participant in
     the Plan. All accounts are valued daily by the Trustee.

     accounts. Price fluctuations and dividends in common stock of the Company
     and companies in the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset
     Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock
     Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization
     Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, and the Company

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

     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidelines governing financial
     hardship. Under the IRS guidelines, withdrawals are permitted for severe
     financial hardship. Contributions to the Plan are suspended for 12 months
     subsequent to a financial hardship withdrawal.

     Participant vested amounts are payable upon retirement, death or other
     termination of employment.

     All withdrawals and distributions are valued as of the end of the month
     they are processed, and are subject to federal income tax upon receipt. Any
     non-vested Company contributions were forfeited and applied to reduce
     future contributions by the Company. During 1999 and 1998, the Plan had no
     forfeiture credits.

     LOAN INVESTMENT FUND

     Eligible employees may borrow money from their participant accounts. The
     minimum amount to be borrowed is $1,000. The maximum amount to be borrowed
     is the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of any
     loan during the preceding twelve month period, or 50% of the participant's
     vested account balance. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding
     at any time. The interest rate charged will be a fixed rate which will be
     established at the time of the loan application. The interest rate at the
     beginning of 1999 was 8.75%, which increased throughout the year to 9.50%
     at December 1999. The interest rate at the beginning of 1998 was 9.50%,
     which decreased throughout the year to 8.75% at December 1998.

     Loan repayments, with interest, are made through payroll deductions. If a
     loan is not repaid when due, the loan balance will be treated as a taxable
     distribution from the Plan.

     EXPENSES

     Expenses of administering the Plan were paid partly by the Company and
     partly by the Trust. The payment of Trustee's fees and brokerage
     commissions associated with the Company Stock Fund are paid by the Company.
     Expenses related to the asset management of the investment funds are paid
     from such Funds which reduces the investment return reported and credited
     to participant accounts.

     TERMINATION PROVISIONS

     The Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue, but
     reserves the right to terminate the Plan.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     The Trustee serves as the fund manager of the S&P 500 Index Stock Equity
     Fund.

     The Company Stock Fund is designed primarily for investment in common stock
     of the Company.

4.   TAX STATUS OF PLAN:

     The Plan has been amended since receipt of the last determination letter
     dated August 15, 1995. On August 15, 1995, the IRS advised that the Plan is
     qualified in accordance with the appropriate sections of the Internal
     Revenue Code, and the trust established with the Plan constitutes a
     qualified trust and is therefore exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan
     Administrator is in the process of applying for a new determination letter
     and does not anticipate that changes in the Plan or other events occurring
     after the receipt of the IRS ruling will affect the qualification of the
     Plan or the tax exempt status of the Trust.

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     Effective December 31, 1999, the Celeron Corporation Employee Savings Plan
     was merged into The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Employee Savings Plan
     for Salaried Employees, and the Trust was merged into and made a part of
     the Trust maintained in connection with the Salaried Savings Plan.
     Effective January 1, 2000, the provisions of the Salaried Savings Plan and
     its related Trust shall govern with respect to the interests of the
     participants of the Plan. The assets were merged into the Salaried Plan in
     March 2000.

6.   FINANCIAL DATA OF THE MASTER TRUST:

     See pages 11 through 13 of these financial statements which set forth the
     financial data of the master trust.

     payments were not yet paid to participants and are therefore not recorded
     as a liability in accordance with ERISA guidelines.
