NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1)  The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and, in
     the opinion of  management,  include all  adjustments  necessary for a fair
     presentation  of  financial   position  and  results  of  operations.   All
     adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Such financial statements are
     presented in  accordance  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission's
     (Commission) disclosure requirements for Form 10-Q.

     These  interim   consolidated   financial  statements  should  be  read  in
     conjunction  with  the  Consolidated  financial  statements  and the  Notes
     thereto filed with the Commission in Unocal Corporation's 1998 Form 10-K.

     Results for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  are not  necessarily
     indicative of future financial results.

     Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified
     to conform to the 1999 presentation.

(2)  For the  purpose  of  this  report,  Unocal  Corporation  (Unocal)  and its
     consolidated subsidiaries, including Union Oil Company of California (Union
     Oil), are referred to as the company.

(3)  Other Financial Information

     Sales and operating revenues are derived principally from the sale of crude
     oil, natural gas,  natural gas liquids,  geothermal  steam,  nitrogen-based
     agricultural  products  and  specialty  minerals  produced by the  company.
     During the first quarter of 1999 and 1998,  approximately 45 percent and 31
     percent,   respectively,   of  total  sales  and  operating  revenues  were
     attributed  to the resale of purchased  crude oil,  natural gas and natural
     gas liquids  produced by others,  that the company  purchased in connection
     with its trading  and  marketing  activities.  Related  purchase  costs are
     classified as expense in the crude oil,  natural gas and product  purchases
     category on the consolidated earnings statement.

     Capitalized  interest  totaled  $5  million  and $8  million  for the first
     quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

 (4) Income Taxes

     Income taxes on earnings from operations for the first quarter of 1999 were
     $10 million  compared with $79 million for the  comparable  period in 1998.
     The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 decreased to 59
     percent from 81 percent in the first quarter of 1998.  The tax rate for the
     first  quarter of 1999 is higher  than  normal due to a loss from  domestic
     operations.  The tax rate for the  comparable  period in 1998 was adversely
     impacted by tax  adjustments  related to the  appreciation of the Thai baht
     totaling $21 million for deferred taxes and $11 million for current taxes.


(5)  Comprehensive Income

     The company's comprehensive earnings were as follows:

     Not included in the computation of diluted EPS were options  outstanding at
     March 31,  1999 to  purchase  approximately  8.5  million  shares of common
     stock.  These options were not included in the  computation as the exercise
     prices were greater than the  year-to-date  average  market price of $31.11
     for the common  shares.  The exercise  prices of these  options  range from
     $32.16 to $51.01 per share and they expire in 2006 through 2009.

(7)  Long Term Debt and Credit Agreements

     On February  18,  1999,  the company  issued $350 million of 30 year, 7 1/2
     percent  debentures under its $1.439 billion  universal shelf  registration
     statement. After issuance of the debentures, the total amount available for
     future issuance of medium term notes,  other debt and/or equity  securities
     under  the   company's   universal   shelf   registration   statement   was
     approximately $1.089 billion.

     The company also increased its commercial  paper  borrowings by $93 million
     from year-end 1998 to an  outstanding  balance of $153 million at March 31,
     1999.  Proceeds  from the debt  issuance  referred to above and  commercial
     paper  borrowings  were used to retire $74 million of maturing  medium-term
     notes and to reduce the amount  outstanding  under the company's $1 billion
     bank credit  agreement from $550 million to $200 million.  The company also
     terminated its $250 million  revolving  credit  agreement in February 1999.
     There were no amounts  outstanding  under the  revolving  credit  agreement
     during 1999.

 (8) Financial Instruments

     The fair values of the company's  financial  instruments  at March 31, 1999
     are described below:

     In February 1999, the company paid $53 million to its counterparty to close
     out its three remaining  Canadian foreign exchange  contracts.  Proceeds of
     $82 million  Canadian were received from the  counterparty  and used by the
     company's  Canadian  subsidiary  to make a scheduled  income tax payment to
     Canada's taxing authority. No gain or loss was recognized as changes in the
     exchange  contracts offset changes in the company's  consolidated  Canadian
     dollar denominated tax obligation.

     At March 31, 1999, the company had forward exchange  contracts  outstanding
     designed to hedge the company's  exposure for estimated income tax payments
     and other foreign currency denominated obligations and receivables expected
     to be settled in 1999. Ten of the contracts require the company to purchase
     3,946  million  Thai  baht in  exchange  for  $101  million.  Eight  of the
     contracts  require the company to sell 3,010  million Thai baht in exchange
     for $80 million. The fair value of the purchase contracts at March 31, 1999
     was  approximately  $105 million.  The fair value of the sale  contracts at
     March  31,  1999  approximated  the  notional  amount.   Fair  values  were
     determined by comparing  the contract  rates to the forward rates in effect
     at March 31, 1999.

     At March 31,  1999,  the  company  had $84  million  of  futures  contracts
     outstanding to purchase 6,025 thousand barrels of crude oil.  Approximately
     70 percent of the crude oil  futures  contracts  were  associated  with the
     company's non-trading activities.  The contracts primarily offset the fixed
     price risk  associated  with the  company's  delivery  obligations  under a
     pre-paid  forward  crude oil sale entered into in December  1998.  The fair
     value of the company's  crude oil futures  contracts based on quoted market
     prices at March 31, 1999 was  approximately  $100  million.  The  company's
     natural  gas  futures   contracts   outstanding  at  March  31,  1999  were
     immaterial.

     At March 31, 1999,  the company had various  hydrocarbon  commodity  option
     contracts  (options)  outstanding with several  counterparties  designed to
     hedge the prices to be  received  for the sale of its future  crude oil and
     natural gas  production,  principally in 1999.  These options are generally
     accounted  for as hedges with gains and losses  deferred and  recognized as
     additional oil and gas revenues upon the sale of the underlying production.
     At March 31,  1999,  the  company had  approximately  $9 million of options
     outstanding. The fair value of the options was approximately $(18) million.
     Fair value was  determined  based on dealer quotes where  available,  or on
     financial  modeling using underlying  commodity prices.  Options associated
     with the company's trading activities at March 31, 1999 were immaterial.

     The company  recorded  approximately  $4 million in pre-tax  trading  gains
     during the first three months of 1999.  At March 31, 1999,  the company had
     pre-tax  deferred  losses  of  approximately  $20  million  related  to its
     non-trading  hydrocarbon  derivative  instrument  activities.  This  amount
     principally consists of options, as noted above.

     The  estimated  fair  value of the  company's  long-term  debt  was  $2,612
     million.  The fair values of debt  instruments were based on the discounted
     amount of future cash  outflows  using the rates offered to the company for
     debt with similar remaining maturities.

     The  estimated  fair  value  of  the  mandatorily   redeemable  convertible
     preferred  securities of the company's  subsidiary  trust was $565 million.
     The fair value of the preferred  securities was based on the trading prices
     of the preferred securities on March 31, 1999.

(9)  Accrued Abandonment, Restoration and Environmental Liabilities

     At March 31, 1999,  the company had accrued $459 million for the  estimated
     future costs to abandon and remove  wells and  production  facilities.  The
     total  costs  for   abandonments  are   predominantly   accrued  for  on  a
     unit-of-production  basis  and  are  estimated  to  be  approximately  $655
     million.  This  estimate  was derived in large part from  abandonment  cost
     studies  performed by outside  firms and is used to calculate the amount to
     be  amortized.   The  company's  reserve  for   environmental   remediation
     obligations  at March 31, 1999 totaled $293 million,  of which $155 million
     was included in current liabilities.

(10) Contingent Liabilities

     The company has certain  contingent  liabilities  with  respect to material
     existing or potential  claims,  lawsuits and other  proceedings,  including
     those involving environmental,  tax and other matters, certain of which are
     discussed more specifically  below. The company accrues liabilities when it
     is  probable  that  future  costs  will be  incurred  and such costs can be
     reasonably estimated.  Such accruals are based on developments to date, the
     company's  estimates of the outcomes of these matters and its experience in
     contesting,  litigating  and settling  other  matters.  As the scope of the
     liabilities becomes better defined,  there will be changes in the estimates
     of future costs, which could have a material effect on the company's future
     results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

     Environmental  matters  - The  company  is  subject  to loss  contingencies
     pursuant to federal,  state and local  environmental  laws and regulations.
     These include  existing and possible future  obligations to investigate the
     effects of the  release or  disposal  of certain  petroleum,  chemical  and
     mineral  substances at various sites;  to remediate or restore these sites;
     to  compensate  others for damage to property  and natural  resources,  for
     remediation and  restoration  costs and for personal  injuries;  and to pay
     civil  penalties  and,  in some  cases,  criminal  penalties  and  punitive
     damages.  These obligations  relate to sites owned by the company or others
     and are associated  with past and present  operations,  including  sites at
     which the company has been  identified as a potentially  responsible  party
     (PRP) under the federal Superfund laws and comparable state laws.

     Liabilities  are  accrued  when it is probable  that  future  costs will be
     incurred  and such  costs can be  reasonably  estimated.  However,  in many
     cases,  investigations  are not yet at a stage where the company is able to
     determine  whether it is liable or, even if liability is  determined  to be
     probable,  to  quantify  the  liability  or  estimate  a range of  possible
     exposure.  In such cases,  the  amounts of the  company's  liabilities  are
     indeterminate  due to the  potentially  large number of  claimants  for any
     given site or exposure,  the unknown  magnitude of possible  contamination,
     the  imprecise and  conflicting  engineering  evaluations  and estimates of
     proper  clean-up  methods and costs,  the unknown  timing and extent of the
     corrective actions that may be required,  the uncertainty  attendant to the
     possible award of punitive damages,  the recent judicial recognition of new
     causes of action,  the present state of the law,  which often imposes joint
     and several and retroactive  liabilities on PRPs, the fact that the company
     is usually just one of a number of companies  identified as a PRP, or other
     reasons.

     As  disclosed  in note 9, at March 31,  1999,  the company had accrued $293
     million for estimated future environmental assessment and remediation costs
     at various sites where  liabilities  for such costs are probable.  At those
     sites where  investigations  or  feasibility  studies have  advanced to the
     stage of analyzing  feasible  alternative  remedies and/or ranges of costs,
     the company estimates that it could incur possible  additional  remediation
     costs aggregating approximately $195 million.

     Tax  matters - The  company  believes  it has  adequately  provided  in its
     accounts for tax items and issues not yet resolved.

     Other  matters - In  February  1996,  Bridas  Corporation  filed a petition
     against the company and others in the  District  Court of Fort Bend County,
     Texas,  alleging  that  the  defendants  conspired  to and  did  tortiously
     interfere  with Bridas'  rights under  agreements  with the  government  of
     Turkmenistan  to develop the Yashlar  Field and to transport  gas from that
     field to Pakistan. The petition also alleged that the defendants interfered
     with Bridas'  exclusive right to lay a gas pipeline in Afghanistan.  Bridas
     sought actual damages, as well as punitive damages, plus interest.  Bridas'
     expert  witnesses  stated in pre-trial  discovery that Bridas' total actual
     damages for loss of future profits were approximately $1.7 billion.  In the
     alternative,  Bridas was  expected to seek an award of  approximately  $430
     million with respect to its total expenditures in Turkmenistan.  In October
     1998, the court granted the  defendants'  motion for summary  judgement and
     dismissed the action. In March 1999, Bridas filed a notice of appeal of the
     dismissal.

     The company also has certain other  contingent  liabilities with respect to
     litigation,  claims and  contractual  agreements  arising  in the  ordinary
     course of business.  Although these  contingencies could result in expenses
     or judgments that could be material to the company's  results of operations
     for a given reporting  period, on the basis of management's best assessment
     of the  ultimate  amount  and  timing of these  events,  such  expenses  or
     judgments  are  not  expected  to have a  material  adverse  effect  on the
     company's consolidated financial condition or liquidity.

(12) Disposition of Assets

     On  January  26,  1999,  Unocal  entered  into an  agreement  with  Calpine
     Corporation for the sale of the company`s  interests in a geothermal  steam
     production  operation,  The Geysers, in Northern  California.  On March 23,
     1999,  the sale closed and the company  received  proceeds of $101 million.
     The company recorded an after-tax loss of approximately  $10 million on the
     sale. The proceeds will be used to partially fund the company's exploration
     and production capital projects.

(13) Restructuring Costs

     The company adopted a restructuring  plan during the fourth quarter of 1998
     that resulted in the accrual of a $27 million pre-tax restructuring charge.
     This amount included the costs of terminating  approximately 475 employees.
     The charge was included in selling,  administrative  and general expense on
     the consolidated  earnings  statement.  The plan involves the suspension of
     mining  and  manufacturing  operations  at the  Mountain  Pass,  California
     lanthanide  facility,  a change in mining  operations  at the  Questa,  New
     Mexico molybdenum facility, the withdrawal from non-strategic activities in
     Central Asia and a reduction in activities of various business units.

     Approximately  240 of the affected  employees are from the company's mining
     operations,  95 are from various  exploration and production business units
     and 140 are  support  personnel  at various  locations.  The  restructuring
     charge included  approximately $23 million for termination costs to be paid
     to the employees  over time,  about $2 million in benefit plan  curtailment
     costs and about $2 million related to outplacement and other costs.

     At April 14,  1999,  358  employees  had been  terminated  or had  received
     termination notices as the result of the plan with additional  terminations
     scheduled  during the  remainder  of 1999.  The  amount of unpaid  benefits
     remaining  on the  consolidated  balance  sheet at March  31,  1999 was $21
     million.  No  adjustments  to the  restructuring  accrual have been made to
     date.

(14) Segment Information

     The company's reportable segments are as follows:

     Exploration and Production, Global Trade, Geothermal & Power Operations and
     Diversified  Businesses.  Unallocated corporate and administrative  general
     expenses  and  other  miscellaneous   operations  are  included  under  the
     Corporate and Unallocated heading. Effective January 1, 1999, the Pipelines
     business unit was transferred from the Diversified  Business segment to the
     Global  Trade  segment.  For an  expanded  description  on  the  activities

(15) Subsequent Events

     In April  1999,  the company  contributed  fixed-price  overriding  royalty
     interests from its working interest shares in certain oil and gas producing
     properties  in the Gulf of  Mexico to Spirit  Energy 76  Development,  L.P.
     (Spirit LP), a limited  partnership formed under the laws of Delaware.  The
     fixed-price  overrides  are subject to economic  limitations  of production
     from  the  affected  fields.   In  exchange  for  its  overriding   royalty
     contributions,  valued at $304  million,  the  company  received an initial
     general  partnership  interest  of  approximately  55 percent in Spirit LP.
     Concord  Investors  LLC (Concord)  contributed  $250 million in cash to the
     partnership   in   exchange   for  an  initial   partnership   interest  of
     approximately  45  percent.  Concord  is  entitled  to  receive a  priority
     allocation of profits and cash distributions in an amount equal to a spread
     above a floating rate of return on its capital contribution, cumulative and
     compounded  quarterly to the extent not distributed.  The partnership has a
     maximum term of twenty years,  but may terminate after six years subject to
     certain conditions.

     On April 15, 1999, the company's Unocal Canada  Resources  subsidiary (UCR)
     signed  a  definitive  agreement  to  invest  up to C$265  million  (US$175
     million) to acquire up to 46 percent of Calgary-based  Northrock  Resources
     Ltd.  (Northrock).  Under the  agreement,  UCR  proposes  to make a partial
     tender offer to Northrock's  shareholders which, if successful would result
     in UCR acquiring  approximately 10 million shares of Northrock common stock
     at C$14 per share, representing approximately 32 percent of all outstanding
     shares. UCR would then acquire  approximately 7.6 million additional shares
     of  Northrock  common  stock for C$16 per share under a private  placement,
     increasing  UCR's  interest in  Northrock  to as much as 46 percent.  UCR's
     obligations  under the agreement  are subject to  regulatory  approvals and
     certain  other  conditions.  If the  tender  offer for the  acquisition  of
     Northrock's common shares is successful, the company expects the 
     transaction to be completed by mid-year.

</TABLE>

Adjusted after-tax earnings from operations  decreased $52 million from the same
period last year.  Lower worldwide  commodity  prices for crude oil, natural gas
and  agricultural  products  were  the  primary  contributors  to the  depressed
earnings.  Compared to 1998,  average  worldwide  sales prices for crude oil and
natural gas  declined 21 percent and 10 percent,  respectively.  These  negative
factors  were  partially  offset  by  lower  dry hole  and  exploration  expense
resulting primarily from lower domestic exploration activity.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

The company's primary activities are oil and gas exploration,  development,  and
production.

United States - Included in the United States  category are Spirit Energy 76 and
Alaska oil and gas operations. The Spirit Energy 76 business unit is responsible
for oil and gas  operations  in the Lower 48 United  States with emphasis on the
shelf and  deepwater  areas in the Gulf of Mexico and the Permian  Basin in West
Texas. A substantial portion of crude oil and natural gas produced in the United
States is sold to the company's  Global Trade segment.  The remainder is sold to
third  parties,  or in the case of Alaska  natural  gas  production  used in the
company's agricultural products operations.

</TABLE>

Adjusted after-tax earnings decreased $18 million compared to the same period in
the prior  year  primarily  due to lower  average  United  States  crude oil and
natural gas sales prices. Crude oil prices fell 20 percent, or $2.54 per barrel,
while  natural  gas prices fell 11 percent,  or $0.23 per  thousand  cubic feet.
Depreciation,  depletion and amortization expense increased in the first quarter
of 1999  primarily  due to  production  from higher  rate  fields and  increased
exploratory land  amortization.  These negative factors were partially offset by
lower dry hole costs.

</TABLE>

During the first  quarter of 1999,  international  adjusted  after-tax  earnings
decreased  slightly  compared with the same period in the prior year.  Crude oil
prices fell 22 percent,  or $2.99 per  barrel,  while  natural gas prices fell 8
percent,  or $0.17  per  thousand  cubic  feet.  Crude  oil  production  volumes
decreased  by 16 percent  primarily  in  Indonesia  and Canada.  The decrease in
Canadian crude oil production reflects the disposition of the company's Alberta,
Canada,  exploration  and production  assets in the Tarragon  transaction in the
third  quarter of 1998.  These  negative  factors were  largely  offset by lower
exploration  expense,  decreased  foreign exchange losses and decreased  foreign
taxes.

GLOBAL TRADE

The Global Trade segment  conducts most of the  company's  worldwide  crude oil,
condensate  and natural gas trading and marketing  activities and is responsible
for the company's  commodity-specific  risk management activities.  Global Trade

Global Trade's combined adjusted  after-tax earnings during the first quarter of

primarily  due to lower  margins on domestic  crude oil trading.  This  earnings
decrease  was  partially  offset by higher  Pipeline  affiliate  earnings due to
increased volumes.

</TABLE>

The  adjusted  after-tax  loss  increased by $17 million as compared to the same
period last year. The negative  earnings factors include higher interest expense
due to lower  capitalized  interest and  increased  debt levels,  lower  pension
income  and  higher  employee  benefit  related  accruals.  Those  factors  were
partially   offset  by  lower  New  Ventures   non-exploration   and  production
expenditures in the first quarter of 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

For the  first  three  months  of 1999,  net cash  flow  provided  by  operating
activities was $99 million  compared with $94 million for the same period a year
ago.  The increase  reflects the receipt of $120 million from the Public  Energy
Authority  of Kentucky  Trust  (PEAK) for a natural gas forward  sale.  The PEAK
transaction  receipt was substantially  offset by the effects of lower worldwide
commodity  prices,  increased  foreign  income tax  payments  and a decrease  in
liabilities related to 1999 crude oil and natural gas deliveries that pertain to
the 1998 and 1999 commodity forward sales.

Proceeds  from asset sales for the first three  months of 1999 were $106 million
consisting  primarily of The Geysers  sale for $101  million  completed in March
1999.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1999 totaled $225 million compared
to $326 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to
lower  drilling  activities  and lease  acquisitions  in the Gulf of Mexico  and
internationally.  Total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1
billion for 1999. The company will continue to focus on high-potential deepwater
exploration programs in Indonesia and the Gulf of Mexico. The company may adjust
its capital spending  estimate later depending on the timing of acquisitions and
changes in commodity prices.

The company's  long-term  debt was $2,568 million at March 31, 1999, an increase
of $10 million from the year-end 1998 level of $2,558 million. The debt-to-total
capitalization ratio increased to 49 percent from 48 percent at year-end 1998.

OUTLOOK

Certain of the statements in this discussion,  as well as other  forward-looking
statements within this document, contain estimates and projections of amounts of
or increases in future revenues,  earnings,  cash flows,  capital  expenditures,
assets,  liabilities  and  other  financial  items  and of  future  levels of or
increases in reserves, production, sales including related costs and prices, and
other  statistical  items;  plans and  objectives  of  management  regarding the
company's  future  operations,  products and services;  and certain  assumptions
underlying  such  estimates,   projection  plans  and  objectives.  While  these
forward-looking  statements are made in good faith,  future  operating,  market,
competitive, legal, economic, political, environmental, and other conditions and
events  could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those in the
foward-looking  statements.  See pages 40 and 41 of Management's  Discussion and
Analysis  in Item 7 of the  company's  1998  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K for a
discussion of certain of such conditions and events.

Even though energy  commodity prices increased late in the first quarter of 1999
as compared  to recent  prior  periods,  the  company  expects  prices to remain
volatile for the remainder of 1999.

The  economic  situation  in Asia,  where  much of the  company's  international
activity is centered, remained largely unchanged from year-end 1998. The company
believes that the  governments  in the region are committed to  undertaking  the
reforms and restructuring  necessary to enable their nations to recover from the
current downturn.

Following  the  discoveries  on the Mad Dog prospect on Green Canyon 826 and the
Mirage prospect on Mississippi  Canyon 941, in April 1999, the company commenced
drilling the first of four deepwater  wells in the Gulf of Mexico expected to be
drilled over the next several months.

Pending  transactions for Spirit Energy 76 include the sale of substantially all
of its oil and gas assets in Michigan to  Quicksilver  Resources,  Inc.  for $27
million in cash plus approximately $3 million of common stock of Quicksilver and
the trade of most of its  Rocky  Mountain  oil and gas  assets  for 5.8  million
shares  of  common  stock of Tom  Brown,  Inc.  and $5  million  in  cash.  Both
transactions are expected to close in the second quarter of 1999.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

In Myanmar,  the company's  subsidiaries and partners are awaiting completion of
the Ratchaburi power plant in Thailand for commercial production from the Yadana
field to begin. The gas sales agreement with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand
(PTT)  includes a "Take or Pay"  provision,  which  requires  PTT to  purchase a
contract  quantity of natural  gas.  Due to the delay in the  completion  of the
plant, PTT could not meet their contract minimum obligation for 1998. Therefore,
PTT was billed for the 1998 "Take or Pay" obligation with the company's share of
the billing being approximately $13 million.  Payment, which was due on March 1,
1999, is currently outstanding. The project participants are in discussions with
PTT to resolve the "Take or Pay" issue.

As of March 31, 1999,  the  company's  geothermal  operations in Indonesia had a
gross receivable  balance of approximately  $123 million,  most of which was for
steam sales from the Salak  field.  Approximately  $46 million is due by June 7,
1999,  of which $31 million  represents  a shortfall  in payments for March 1998
through December 1998 steam  deliveries to the Gunung Salak electric  generating
Units 1, 2 and 3.  Partial  payments  have  been  received  on a  timely  basis.
Agreements allow for payments over the next several years. Provisions covering a
portion of these  receivables  were  recorded  in 1998 and 1999.  The company is
vigorously pursuing collection of the outstanding receivables.

In Azerbaijan, the company has an approximately 26 percent interest in the North
Absheron  Operating  Company (NAOC) which was exploring for oil on blocks in the
Caspian Sea. Because of unsuccessful  drilling results,  the NAOC has decided to
cease operations and has closed its office in Baku.

The company adopted a restructuring  plan during the fourth quarter of 1998 that
resulted in the accrual of a $17 million after-tax  charge.  The amount included
the costs of  terminating  approximately  475  employees.  The  company  expects
execution of the plan to reduce  future  annualized  salaries and benefits by an
estimated  $21  million  after-tax  and  there  have  been  no  changes  to that
expectation to date. The company is currently evaluating additional  initiatives
to improve the  efficiency  and alignment of support  services and reduce costs,
which could result in another restructuring plan in 1999.

YEAR 2000

The company is actively  addressing  the Year 2000 (Y2K)  issue.  Many  existing
computer programs were designed and developed to use only two digits to identify
a year in the date field.  If not  addressed,  these  programs  could  result in
system  failures  with  possible  material  adverse  effects  on  the  company's
operations at the beginning of the year 2000.

The  company's  Y2K  efforts  can be  divided  into  three  general  categories:
information technology (IT) systems and applications, non-IT embedded systems in
process controls,  and its relationships  with critical business  partners.  The
company has  appointed  a program  manager and has  assembled  various  teams of
professionals,  principally  at the business  unit level,  which have  developed
plans to implement these efforts. The plans establish a methodology and schedule
to identify,  assess,  correct and test the company's IT systems,  applications,
non-IT  embedded  systems (such as  microcontrollers  and other devices used for
process control), system interfaces with vendors, suppliers, customers and other
outside  parties,  as well as to assess the Y2K readiness of such third parties.
The company has  contracted  with  systems  consulting  firms to assist with the
assessment,  correction and testing of the company's  internal systems and their
interfaces with third parties.  To ensure  independent  review and validation of
the implementation of the company's Y2K plans,  internal  auditors,  assisted by
contract  auditors,  are auditing the Y2K projects of key business  units within
the company and reporting their findings to senior management.

A  company-wide  initial  awareness  campaign was  completed  in June 1998.  The
identification,  assessment,  and  corrections-planning  phases of the  internal
systems  portion  of the  project  have been  completed.  The  company is in the
process of preparing  business  contingency  and recovery plans for its "mission
critical" systems, applications and processes and remediating and renovating its
systems.  These  systems,  applications  and processes,  if not operable,  could
materially adversely impact cash flow, operations, safety or the environment.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

The  company's  Y2K project  work  includes the writing and updating of existing
contingency  plans to address  material  Y2K issues.  The  company has  existing
processes  for  managing  emergency  situations  and  intends to have its Crisis
Management  Center  operating at the time of the century rollover to assist with
implementing any contingency plans if required.

The company has completed  the  inventory and  assessment of its IT and embedded
systems and detailed planning to correct or work around the anticipated problems
in these  systems.  The repair and  testing of its IT and  embedded  systems was
approximately 70 percent complete as of March 31, 1999.

The  following  schedule  sets  forth  the  company's  estimated  timetable  for
achieving Y2K readiness of its IT and embedded systems:

Project                                       Target Completion Dates
- --------                                      -----------------------
Phases
Worldwide inventory of systems                Completed
Worldwide assessment                          Completed
Initial plan for corrections/work arounds     Completed
Remediation/renovation                        Second quarter 1999
Contingency planning                          Third quarter 1999
Validation/testing                            Third quarter 1999
Implementation                                Third quarter 1999
Continuous system review                      Ongoing-through first quarter 2000

The company has identified  approximately 400 "critical  business  partners" and
contacted 87 percent of these  companies  regarding  their Y2K readiness.  As of
March 31,  1999,  the  company  had  received  responses  from  about 240 of the
critical  business  partners.  Work in this area will  continue and  contingency
plans will  incorporate  the  possibility  of  performance  failures by multiple
critical business partners.

The  company  estimates  the  total  expenditures  on its  Y2K  project  will be
approximately $30 million.  These expenditures are recorded at the business unit
and corporate levels and are funded from cash provided by operating  activities.
Expenditures as of March 31, 1999, were  approximately $16 million.  Most of the
remaining expenditures are expected to be incurred in the remainder of 1999.

The  company is not aware of any IT projects  that have been  delayed due to the
Y2K project.

The Y2K  problem  is real and  there is a risk of Y2K  related  failures.  These
failures could result in an interruption  in, or a failure of, certain  business
activities or functions. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the
company's results of operations,  liquidity or financial  condition.  Due to the
uncertainty  surrounding  the Y2K problem,  including the uncertainty of the Y2K
readiness of the company's customers,  suppliers,  and partners,  the company is
unable at this time to  determine  the true impact of the Y2K problem to Unocal.
The  principal  areas of risk are thought to be oil and gas  production  control
systems,   other  embedded  operations  control  systems  and  third  party  Y2K
readiness. The company's Y2K project is expected to reduce this uncertainty. The
company  believes  that with the  completion  of the  project  as  planned,  the
possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.
There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that  there  will not be a delay  in, or
increased costs associated with the  implementation of such changes or that such
changes will prove 100 percent  effective in resolving  all Y2K related  issues.
Furthermore,  there can be no assurance that critical business partners will not
experience failures,  irrespective of the Y2K readiness representations they may
have made. A likely worst case scenario is that despite the  company's  efforts,
there could be failures of control systems,  which might cause some processes to
be shut  down.  Such  failures  could  have a  material  adverse  impact  on the
company's operations.  The company is particularly concerned about the status of
key critical business  partners' Y2K readiness in Indonesia,  Thailand,  and the
Gulf of Mexico.  Their failure due to a Year 2000 problem  could prevent  Unocal
from  delivering  product and cause a material  adverse  impact to the company's
cash flows.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of
financial  instruments  as a result of  movements  in  interest  rates,  foreign
currency  exchange  rates and  commodity  prices.  As part of its  overall  risk
management  strategies,  the company uses  derivative  financial  instruments to
manage and reduce risks associated with these factors.  The company also pursues
outright  pricing  positions  in  certain   hydrocarbon   derivative   financial
instruments, such as futures contracts.

Interest  Rate  Risk - From time to time the  company  temporarily  invests  its
excess  cash in  interest-bearing  securities  issued by  high-quality  issuers.
Company   policies   limit  the  amount  of  investment  to  any  one  financial
institution.  Due to the short time the  investments  are  outstanding and their
general  liquidity,  these instruments are classified as cash equivalents in the
consolidated balance sheet and do not represent a material interest rate risk to
the company.  The company's primary market risk exposure for changes in interest
rates relates to the company's  long-term debt obligations.  The company manages
its  exposure  to  changing  interest  rates  principally  through  the use of a
combination of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate sensitive  derivative
financial  instruments,  such as swaps,  options,  floors, caps, and collars may
also be used depending upon market conditions.

The company  evaluated the  potential  effect that near term changes in interest
rates  would  have had on the fair  value of its  interest  rate risk  sensitive
financial  instruments at March 31, 1999. Assuming a ten percent decrease in the
company's  weighted  average  borrowing  costs at March 31, 1999,  the potential
increase in the fair value of the  company's  debt  obligations  and  associated
derivative instruments would have been approximately $102 million.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk - The company  conducts  business in various parts of
the world and in various  foreign  currencies.  To limit the  company's  foreign
currency  exchange  rate  risk  related  to  operating  income,   foreign  sales
agreements generally contain price provisions designed to insulate the company's
sales revenues against adverse foreign exchange rates. In most countries, energy
products are valued and sold in U.S. dollars and foreign currency operating cost
exposures have not been significant. In other countries, the company is paid for
product deliveries in local currencies but at prices indexed to the U.S. dollar.
These funds,  less amounts  retained for operating  costs, are converted to U.S.
dollars as soon as  practicable.  The company's  Canadian  subsidiary is paid in
Canadian dollars for its crude oil and natural gas sales.  Excess Canadian funds
generally have been invested in other Unocal foreign operations.

From time to time the company may  purchase  foreign  currency  options or enter
into foreign  currency  exchange  contracts to limit the exposure related to its
foreign currency obligations. At March 31, 1999, the company had several foreign
currency forward exchange contracts outstanding to hedge scheduled tax payments,
other  commitments  and  receivables  to be settled in Thai baht during 1999. At
March 31,  1999,  the company  evaluated  the effect  that near term  changes in
foreign exchange rates would have had on the fair value of the company's foreign
currency  position related to its outstanding  foreign currency forward exchange
contracts.  Assuming an adverse change of ten percent in foreign  exchange rates
at March 31, 1999, the potential decrease in fair value of the company's foreign
currency forward exchanges contracts would have been approximately $2 million.

Commodity Price Risk - The company is a producer, purchaser, marketer and trader
of certain hydrocarbon commodities such as crude oil and condensate, natural gas
and  petroleum-based  products and is subject to the associated price risks. The
company generally uses hydrocarbon  derivative  financial  instruments,  such as
futures  contracts,  swaps and options with  maturities of 24 months or less, to
mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in hydrocarbon  commodity prices.  Certain
of these  instruments  are used to hedge  contractual  delivery  commitments and
future crude oil and natural gas production  against price exposure.  In certain
cases, the company enters into longer-term derivative instruments,  such as swap
contracts,  to hedge its  exposure to  long-term  fixed price  commitments.  The
company  also  takes  pricing  positions  in  hydrocarbon  derivative  financial
instruments (primarily futures and options contracts).

The company uses a variance-covariance  value at risk model to assess the market
risk of its  hydrocarbon-price-sensitive  derivative instruments.  Value at risk
represents the potential loss in fair value the company would  experience on its
hydrocarbon   price   sensitive   derivative   instruments,   using   calculated
volatilities  and  correlations  over a  specified  time  period  with  a  given
confidence  level.  The company's model is based upon historical data and uses a
three-day time interval with a 95 percent  confidence  level. The model includes
offsetting  physical  positions  for  hydrocarbon  price  sensitive   derivative
instruments  related  to the  company's  contracted  crude oil and  natural  gas
forward  sales.  Based upon the  company's  model,  the value at risk related to
hydrocarbon-price-sensitive  derivative financial  instruments held for purposes
other than trading was  approximately $9 million at March 31, 1999. The value at
risk related to  hydrocarbon-price-sensitive  derivative  financial  instruments
held for trading purposes was approximately $3 million at March 31, 1999.

Information  with respect to certain recent  developments  and additional  legal
proceedings is set forth below:

General

1.       In the lawsuit captioned Talbert Fuel Systems Patents Company v. Unocal
         Corp.,  et al.,  described  in  Paragraph  1 of Item 3 of the 1998 Form
         10-K, in April 1999, the court granted the company's motion for summary
         judgment as to the remaining infringement claim.

2.       In the lawsuit captioned The McMahon Foundation, et al. v. Amerada Hess
         Corporation,  et al.,  described  in  Paragraph 2 of Item 3 of the 1998
         Form 10-K,  in April 1999,  the  settlement  agreement  was given final
         approval by the court.  Less than 2.5 percent of the class  members who
         received  royalty  and  working  interest  payments  from  the  company
         exercised opt-out rights.

3.       In the  lawsuit  captioned  United  States,  ex rel.  Jack  Grynberg v.
         Unocal,  described in  Paragraph 5 of Item 3 of the 1998 Form 10-K,  in
         April 1999, the U.S.  Department of Justice  notified the court that it
         has elected not to intervene in this action.

4.       In  connection  with  the  notices  of  Preliminary   Determination  of
         Underpaid  Royalties received from the U.S.  Department of the Interior
         Minerals  Management Service (MMS),  described in Paragraph 6 of Item 3
         of the 1998 Form 10-K, the company has entered into  negotiations  with
         the MMS to settle the claims.

5.       In the lawsuit captioned People of the State of California v. Molycorp,
         Inc.,  described  in  Paragraph  8 of Item 3 of the 1998 Form 10-K,  in
         January 1999, the District  Attorney filed an amended  complaint adding
         alleged violations of the California Business & Professions Code, Water
         Code and Fish & Game Code.

Additional Environmental Matter Involving Possible Civil Penalties

6.       In recent years the District Attorney of Yolo County,  California,  has
         expressed  concern with releases of chemicals  from the company's  West
         Sacramento  agricultural  products  plant.  In March 1999, the District
         Attorney sent the company a pre-filing  letter  allowing for discussion
         regarding  three past  releases of which the company had  notified  the
         appropriate  environmental agencies. In the aggregate,  civil penalties
         concerning these matters could exceed $100,000.

                    TERMINATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE


         This Termination Agreement and General Release,  executed this 31st day
of March,  1999 by and  between  John W.  Schanck  (hereinafter  referred  to as
"Employee"),  and Union Oil Company of  California  (hereinafter  referred to as
"Company").

         WHEREAS,  Employee has most  recently  been  employed at the  Company's
offices located in Sugar Land, Texas;

         WHEREAS, the Company has made certain changes which have resulted in 
the elimination of Employee's assignment and

         WHEREAS,  Employee is covered under an Employment Agreement dated as of
July 28, 1998 a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises  contained in
this  Termination  Agreement and General  Release,  the sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Company and Employee agree as follows:

         1. Employee shall continue on the payroll of the Company through August
31, 1999 as a "Consulting  Employee".  During such period  Employee will be paid
his current base salary and continue to be eligible  for the  Company's  benefit
plans and policies  generally  applicable  to its  employees  in his  employment
category.  Employee's  participation  and coverage shall be subject to the rules
and procedures  generally  applicable to employees under said plans. During this
period,  Employee shall assist the Company with legal or administrative disputes
and with  transition  issues - all during  normal  business  hours.  These above
duties shall be limited in time and scope so as not to interfere with Employee's
search for other employment.

         2.  Employee  shall be eligible for one year of  outplacement  services
under the  Center of  Executive  Options  to be paid by  Company,  plus up to an
additional  year  with  another   outplacement  firm,  if  necessary  to  secure
employment. Such additional year's outplacement shall not exceed $35,000.

         3. The payment of $893,808  (Eight  Hundred and Ninety Three  Thousand,
Eight-Hundred  and Eight Dollars) due under the aforesaid  Employment  Agreement
shall be made within 30 days of the termination of his employment hereunder.

         4.  Employee  shall  be  eligible  for  Unocal's  executive   financial
consulting  program through August 31, 2000 in accordance with the terms of said
program.

         5. Company shall continue to provide the continued  "coaching" services
of Tom Curen at an approximate cost of $1200 per month through August 31, 1999.

         6.  Employee   acknowledges  that  he  acquired  certain   confidential
information  concerning the operation of the Company during his employment  with
the Company and in  connection  with the  Employee's  work  hereunder.  Employee
agrees  that he will not at any time,  whether  during  or after his  employment
hereunder,  (1) knowingly  use for improper  personal  benefit any  confidential
information  that he may learn or has learned by reason of his  employment  with
the Company,  or (2) disclose any such  confidential  information  to any person
except (a) in the performance of his obligations to the Company  hereunder,  (b)
as required by applicable  law, (c) in connection  with the  enforcement  of his
rights under this Agreement, (d) in connection with any disagreement, dispute or
litigation (pending or threatened) between Employee and the Company, or (e) with
the prior written consent of the Company.  "Confidential  Information"  includes
information  with respect to the  Company's  products,  facilities  and methods,
research and  development and trade secrets and other  intellectual  properties,
systems,  patents and patent  applications,  procedures,  manuals,  confidential
reports,  business plans,  prospects or opportunities;  provided,  however, that
such terms shall not include any  information  that (X) is or becomes  generally
known or available other than as a result of disclosure by Employee or (Y) is or
becomes known or available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source
which to Employee's knowledge is not prohibited from disclosing such information
to  Employee  by a legal,  contractual,  fiduciary  or other  obligation  to the
Company. If Employee is unclear as to the requirements of the foregoing,  he may
ask for  clarification  as to a specific  situation by contacting  the Company's
Chief Legal  Officer in writing.  Employee's  obligations  under this  paragraph
shall survive termination of this Agreement.
                                       1

         7. Unocal shall pay Employee his accrued vacation "bank balance" within
two weeks of his termination of employment.

         8. Employee's  termination of employment  hereunder shall be treated as
"at the convenience of the Company" pursuant to the Long Term Incentive Plans of
1991 and 1998 and under the  Revised  Incentive  Compensation  Plan.  Therefore,
Employee  shall be  entitled  to the  delivery  of shares of  Restricted  Stock,
payment of Performance  Shares and the extended  period to exercise vested stock
options  applicable  under  the  terms  of  said  Plans  upon a  termination  of
employment at the convenience of the Company.

         9.  Employee  shall  not  be  entitled  to any  other  termination-type
benefits except as specifically noted above. Employee hereby waives any benefits
or  payments   under  the  Unocal   Termination   Allowance  Plan  and  Employee
Redeployment  Program.  Employee  shall not be eligible for any future grants or
awards under the Management Incentive Plan of 1998.

         10.  All  payments  hereunder  to  Employee  shall be  reduced  for any
applicable withholding.

         11.      General Release

         In  consideration  for this  Agreement,  Employee  hereby  releases and
forever   discharges   Company  and  Unocal  Corporation  and  their  respective
predecessors,  successors, partners, assigns, employees,  shareholders,  owners,
officers, directors, agents, attorneys, subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliates,
(jointly  referred to as "Released  Parties") from any and all claims,  demands,
causes of action,  obligations,  damages, attorneys' fees, costs and liabilities
of any nature whatsoever, whether or not now known, suspected or asserted, which
Employee may have or claim to have against the Released  Parties relating in any
manner to Employee's  employment with the Company and/or the termination of such
employment, and hereby covenants not to assert such claims through a lawsuit, an
administrative  proceeding or otherwise.  This General Release includes,  but is
not limited to, claims  arising under federal,  state or local laws  prohibiting
employment discrimination or claims arising out of any legal restrictions on the
Company's rights to terminate its employees, including without limitation of the
Age  Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

         This   Agreement   shall  not  apply  to   Employee's   rights  to  any
indemnification  insurance,  defense  or hold  harmless  protection  that  would
otherwise apply in the absence of this Release.  Except as specifically provided
herein,  nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any way, apply to,  increase,
or diminish,  any rights which Employee has with respect to retirement  benefits
or with  respect to any  previously  established  policy or plans of the Company
outside of this Agreement.

         12.      Waiver

         Employee  waives all  rights  under  Section  1542 of the Civil Code of
California. That section reads as follows:

         "A general  release does not extend to claims  which the creditor  does
         not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing  the
         release,  which  if  known by him must  have  materially  affected  his
         settlement with the debtor."

Notwithstanding  the  provisions of Section 1542 or any similar law of any other
state, and to provide a full and complete release of Released Parties,  Employee
expressly  acknowledges  that this Termination  Agreement and General Release is
intended to include, without limitation, all claims which Employee does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of execution of this document,  and
that the settlement agreed upon completely extinguishes all such claims.

         13.  Employee  shall  not  disclose  the  existence  or  terms  of this
Agreement to current or former employees of the Company.  However,  Employee may
disclose  this  Agreement  to his  spouse,  tax  advisor,  financial  advisor or
potential employer, or when required by legal or administrative  proceedings. In
the event of a disclosure other than that authorized in the preceding  sentence,
Company  may  immediately  terminate  Agreement  and its  remaining  obligations
thereunder.  At the time of execution of this Agreement,  Company agrees that it
has no knowledge of any disclosure by Employee as such disclosure is referred to
in this paragraph.
                                       2

       14. This Termination Agreement and General Release is a full and complete
expression  of the intent of the parties with  respect to the subject  matter of
this Agreement.  No other agreement or representation,  express or implied,  has
been made by either party with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

         15. This Termination  Agreement and General Release may not be modified
except by a written agreement signed by both Employee and by a Vice President of
Union Oil Company of California.

         16. This Termination Agreement and General Release shall be interpreted
to be valid to the full extent possible under the laws of the State of Texas.

         17. Employee warrants and represents that he has not assigned or in any
way  transferred  any claim  related to the subject  matter of this  Termination
Agreement  and  General  Release  and that he will not  allow or  assist in such
transfer or assignment in the future.

         18. This Termination Agreement and General Release shall not constitute
an  admission  by  any  Released  Party  of  any  wrongful  action  or  inaction
whatsoever.

         19. Employee agrees that this Termination Agreement and General Release
is understood by Employee and is voluntarily entered into by the Employee.

         20.  Employee  may  file a  written  beneficiary  designation  for  any
payments  in the event of his death  prior to receipt of the  amounts  due under
paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 9 in the form of Attachment A. The last such  designation
received by Company prior to his death shall control any such payments.

         21.      Employee's Right to Review Agreement.

         Employee has twenty-two  (22) days from the date of Employee's  receipt
of this Termination  Agreement and General Release to consider whether or not to
sign this Termination Agreement and General Release.

         22.  This  Termination  Agreement  and  General  Release  shall  not be
effective  until eight (8) days from the date of execution  of this  Termination
Agreement  and General  Release by Employee.  During such  period,  Employee may
notify  Company in writing of his revocation of this  Termination  Agreement and
General Release.

         23.      Employee's Right to Consult Counsel.

         Employee is advised to consult with Employee's attorney before deciding
whether or not to sign this Termination Agreement and General Release.


IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this  Termination  Agreement and General  Release has been
executed in duplicate originals.

                            ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                                       OF

                         UNION OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA
                            a California Corporation
                         (Endorsed filed April 1, 1999,
      in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of California)


         Dennis P.R. Codon and Brigitte M. Dewez hereby certify that:

         1. They are a duly  elected  and  acting  Vice  President  and the duly
elected and acting Secretary,  respectively, of Union Oil Company of California,
a California corporation (the "Corporation").

         2. The Articles of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  are amended and
restated to read in full as follows:

                           "ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION"

                                       OF

                         UNION OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA
                            a California Corporation

         One: The name of the Corporation is:   UNION OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA.

         Two: The purpose of the  Corporation  is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General  Corporation
Law of California other than the banking  business,  the trust company business,
or the practice of a profession  permitted to be  incorporated by the California
Corporations Code.

         Three: The Corporation shall have the power to offer, issue and to sell
pro rata to the holders of its Common Shares,  shares of its capital stock other
than shares of stock issued and sold under and pursuant to the provisions of (1)
and (2) of the second paragraph of this Article Three, and to sell to others any
shares of stock so offered to the holders of the Common  Shares and not taken by
them for such price or consideration as the Board of Directors may determine.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Three, (1) the
Corporation  may issue shares of its capital stock,  and of any future  increase
thereof,  in  such  amounts  as may be  determined  by the  affirmative  vote of
two-thirds of the entire Board of  Directors,  in exchange for or in payment for
property to be acquired by the Corporation for carrying out any of the foregoing
purposes,  without first  offering such stock to its  stockholders;  also,  upon
affirmative  vote  of  two-thirds  of the  entire  Board  of  Directors  of this
Corporation, and without any prior offering to stockholders of this Corporation,
the  Corporation  may grant to the  purchasers  or the  holders  of any bonds or
debentures or evidences of indebtedness of this Corporation,  optional rights to
convert any of such securities,  in whole or in part, into shares of the capital
stock of this Corporation,  and of any future increase thereof,  and also of any
subsequent offering thereof, or the optional rights to purchase any such shares,
all on such  terms  and  conditions  and at such  price or  prices,  and in such
manner,  at such times and in such amounts as may be  determined by such vote of
directors,  and on any  such  optional  rights  being  exercised  by the  holder
thereof,  may issue the capital stock called for by the exercise of such rights;
and (2) the Corporation may offer, issue and sell, and grant options to purchase
Common Shares to such employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, in such
amounts,  upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board
of Directors may from time to time determine, but not to exceed in the aggregate
500,000  Common  Shares;  provided  however,  that such maximum  amount shall be
subject  to  adjustment  (in the same  manner as the  Corporation's  outstanding
Common Shares) in the event a dividend is declared upon the Common Shares of the
Corporation  payable  in Common  shares or in the event the  outstanding  Common
Shares of the  Corporation  shall be changed into or  exchanged  for a different
number or class of shares of stock or other  securities of the Corporation or of
another corporation,  whether through  reorganization,  recapitalization,  stock
split-up,  combination  of  shares,  merger  or  consolidation,   and  that  the
provisions  of this section shall be applicable to the number or class of shares
of stock or other securities,  which in accordance herewith,  may be substituted
for such 500,000  Common  Shares;  and provided  further that in the case of any
sale of such  shares  the price  shall not be less  than the fair  market  value
thereof at the time of sale as determined by the Board of Directors, and that in
the case of any option to purchase such shares, the price shall not be less than
the fair  market  value  thereof  at the time of  granting  such  option,  as so
determined.  For the purposes and within the  aggregate  limit above  mentioned,
such Common  Shares  (subject to  adjustment  as above  provided)  may be issued
without any prior offering to stockholders of this Corporation.
                                       1
<PAGE>
        Four:  The  Corporation  is  authorized  to issue one class of shares of
capital stock to be  designated  Common  Shares.  The aggregate par value of all
shares that are to have a par value is $541,666,666.66-2/3. The number of shares
that  are to have a par  value is  260,000,000,  all of  which  shall be  Common
Shares, and the par value of each of such shares is $2-1/12.

         Five: The Corporation elects to be governed by all of the provisions of
the General Corporation Law of California (as enacted by Chapter 682 of the 1975
California Statutes and as subsequently  amended) not otherwise applicable to it
under Chapter 23 thereof.

         Six: The  liability of the  directors of the  Corporation  for monetary
damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent  permissable  under California
law. If the California General  Corporation Law is amended after approval by the
stockholders of this article to authorize  corporate action further  eliminating
or limiting  the  personal  liability  of  directors,  then the  liability  of a
director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the California General Corporation Law, as so amended.

         Any  repeal  or  modification  by the  stockholders  of  the  foregoing
paragraph  shall not  adversely  affect any right or protection of a director of
the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

         Seven: The Corporation is authorized to provide  indemnification of its
agents (as such term is defined in Section  317 of the  California  Corporations
Code),  whether  by bylaw,  agreement,  vote of  stockholders  or  disinterested
directors, or otherwise, to the fullest extent permissible under California law.

         Any  repeal  or  modification  by the  stockholders  of  the  foregoing
paragraph  shall not adversely  affect any right or protection of any such agent
of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification."

3. The foregoing  amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation has
been approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

4.  The  foregoing  amendment  has been  approved  by the  required  vote of the
stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Section 902 of the California
Corporations  Code; the total number of outstanding  shares of common stock, the
only class outstanding, entitled to vote with respect to the foregoing amendment
was  1,000.  The  number of shares  voting in favor of the  foregoing  amendment
equaled or exceeded the vote  required.  The  percentage  vote required was more
than 50%.

The undersigned,  Dennis P.R. Codon and Brigitte M. Dewez, further declare under
penalty of perjury  under the laws of the State of  California  that the matters
set out in this Certificate are true and correct of our knowledge.

Dated: March 31, 1999

         Section 11.  Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and 
                      Other Agents.

         (a) The Company shall,  to the maximum extent  permitted by the General
Corporation  Law of  California,  indemnify  each of its  directors and officers
against  all  expense,   liability,  and  loss,  including  without  limitation,
attorneys' fees, judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties,  amounts paid
or to be  paid in  settlement,  and  any  other  amounts  actually  incurred  in
connection with any proceeding  arising by reason of the fact any such person is
or was a director or officer of the Company and shall  advance to such  director
or officer  expenses  incurred in defending  any such  proceeding to the maximum
extent  permitted  by such law. For purposes of this  section,  a "director"  or
"officer" of the Company includes any person who is or was a director or officer
of the  Company,  or is or  was  serving  at the  request  of the  Company  as a
director,  officer,  trustee, or fiduciary, or in a similar capacity, of another
foreign or domestic corporation,  limited liability company, partnership,  joint
venture, trust, or any other enterprise or entity whatsoever,  including without
limitation service with respect to employee benefit plans.

         (b) The Board of Directors may in its discretion provide by resolution,
either on a general  basis or as to specific  employees  or agents,  for similar
indemnification  of, or advance of expenses to, other employees or agents of the
Company,  and likewise may refuse to provide for such indemnification or advance
of expenses  except to the extent such  indemnification  is mandatory  under the
California General Corporation Law.

         (c) The Company  shall  maintain  in full force and effect,  at its own
expense,  director and officer liability  insurance  ("Insurance")  coverage for
each  director  and officer in amounts and scope at least as  favorable  as that
maintained  by the  Corporation  on September  30, 1996,  or, to the extent more
favorable, any Insurance policy entered into or renewed by the Company following
such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if the Company, after using its best
efforts,  cannot  obtain and purchase  such  coverage for an amount no more than
what it paid for the most recent  expiring  Insurance  policy plus a  reasonable
additional amount, the Company shall only be required to purchase such Insurance
coverage for any act or omission occurring at or prior to the time of such date.

         (d)  The  rights  provided  to  any  person  by  this  bylaw  shall  be
enforceable  against the Company by such  person,  who shall be presumed to have
relied upon it in serving or  continuing  to serve as a director or officer,  as
provided above. No amendment of this bylaw shall impair the rights of any person
arising at any time with respect to events  occurring  prior to such  amendment,
including,  without limitation,  any right of a director or officer to Insurance
for any act or omission occurring at or prior to the time of such amendment.

         Section 12. Authority to Designate Place of Shareholders' Meetings. The
Board is hereby  granted full power and authority to designate from time to time
any place  within or  without  the State of  California  for the  holding of any
shareholders' meeting, whether annual or special.

         Section 13.  Committees.  A majority  of the Board may, by  resolution,
appoint one or more committees to consist of two or more of the directors of the
