NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
(1) The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
(2) Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding shares. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
are excluded from the computation since their effect is insignificant.
The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 31,216,172 and
31,202,172 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding shares was
31,213,352 and 31,195,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
(3) The Company is contingently liable under pending lawsuits and other
claims, some of which involve substantial sums. Considering certain
liabilities which have been set up for the lawsuits and claims, and
the difficulty in determining the ultimate liability in some of these
matters, internal counsel is of the opinion that the amounts, if any,
which ultimately might be due in connection with such lawsuits and
claims would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
consolidated financial condition.
(4) The Company sold certain accounts receivable with recourse, with
balances sold of $0 at September 30, 1996, and $80,000,000 at December
31, 1995. The $80,000,000 change in the balance results in a decrease
in the 1996 cash flows provided by operating activities.
(5) The Company has guaranteed a bank note of a 50% equity joint venture,
Cos-Mar Company. The balance was $0 at September 30, 1996, and
$40,000,000 at December 31, 1995.
(6) The notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 19 through
32 of the Company's 1995 Form 10-K are an integral part of these
consolidated financial statements.
(7) On July 18, 1996 the Company issued $125,000,000 in debt securities on
an unsecured basis. All of the proceeds were used to repay outstanding
debt.

PART I - Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Net earnings were $38,866,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
compared to $44,973,000 for the third quarter of 1995. Sales and other
operating revenues were $993,264,000 compared to $916,287,000 for third quarter
1995. Earnings per share were $1.25 compared to $1.44 per share for the third
quarter of last year.
The net earnings decrease in the third quarter 1996 was largely
attributable to lower industry chemicals and Gulf Coast refining margins,
partially offset by increased natural gas production volumes, higher crude oil
and natural gas prices, and higher Chemical sales volumes. Upstream
(exploration, production and natural gas marketing) earnings increased with
higher crude oil and natural gas prices, higher natural gas volumes, and lower
lifting costs. Increased Chemicals sales volumes partially offset lower
Chemicals margins. In the Downstream (refining, marketing and supply and
transportation) refining margins declined from the same period last year.
For the nine months, net earnings were $114,967,000 compared to
$120,249,000 for the same period in 1995. Higher natural gas production volumes,
increased crude oil and natural gas prices, and higher Chemicals sales volumes
were more than offset by lower industry chemicals and Gulf Coast refining
margins. Sales and other operating revenues increased to $3,005,669,000 during
the nine-month period compared to $2,744,827,000 for the same period in 1995,
reflecting improved prices in the Upstream and Downstream, and higher Upstream
and Chemicals sales volumes.
Capital expenditures for the nine months were $148,415,000 compared
to $131,821,000 for the same period in 1995, with increased exploration and
development activities in the Upstream and enhancement projects at the Big
Spring Refinery. An increase to the capital budget of $63,200,000 was approved
by the Board of Directors for increased drilling activities and to finance
a marketing related equity investment. The total capital budget for 1996 is
now $263,100,000.
In the Upstream, earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT)
improved to $11,428,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to a loss of
$4,020,000 for the same period in 1995. For the nine-month period of 1996,
Upstream EBIT was $44,488,000 compared to a loss of $15,333,000 for the same
period in 1995. Both the third quarter and nine months improvements were due
to higher crude oil and natural gas prices, higher natural gas volumes, and
lower lifting costs. The step-out drilling and development activities,
including the recently completed Pharr 26 natural gas well in Hidalgo County,
Texas which is currently producing 15 million cubic feet per day, increased
production volumes in the third quarter.
In the Downstream, earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT)
decreased to a loss of $1,317,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to a
gain of $5,034,000 for the same period in 1995. For the nine-month period of
1996, Downstream EBIT was $1,848,000 compared to $19,441,000 for the same period
in 1995. The primary cause of decreased EBIT in both periods was lower industry
Gulf Coast refining margins for fuels and aromatics which are especially
important to the Port Arthur, Texas Refinery. Operations at the Port Arthur,
Texas Refinery were generally excellent with many throughput records and
operations reliability.
Chemicals EBIT for the third quarter was $63,089,000 which was a
decrease from third quarter 1995's EBIT of $82,566,000. For the nine month
period of 1996, EBIT of $171,026,000 was down from the corresponding period in
1995 of $ 227,814,000. Compared to the nine months of 1995, sales and
production volume increases of more than twenty percent , principally due to
expansions in the polypropylene and polystyrene plants, were more than offset by
lower industry margins. At the Polypropylene Plant in LaPorte, Texas, a
500,000,000 pound per year expansion, which started up at the end of 1995, made
it the largest in the world and helped increase sales volumes. Capacity was
doubled at the joint venture Propylene Splitter Plant near Houston with the
mid-August start-up of a second line, which increased the integrated supply of
polymer grade propylene to the Polypropylene Plant. A recently announced
expansion of the High Density Polyethylene Plant near Houston will double the
facility's production capacity to 850,000,000 pounds per year when completed in
mid 1998.

The Company's regular quarterly dividend of $.70 per share was paid on
September 16, 1996 to shareholders of record on September 3, 1996. On October

share to be paid on December 17, 1996 to shareholders of record on December 3,
1996.
