                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations


     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the business section, consolidated financial statements notes, and
management's discussion contained in the Company's 1994 annual
report on Form 10-K, and condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes contained in this report.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 was $57 million (1994 nine months, $56 million).  Capital
expenditures for the Joint Venture's operations were $18 million,
or $4 million lower than the comparative 1994 period.  The decrease
in expenditures thus far in 1995 has been primarily due to planned
reductions in exploration and development activities. 
Distributions by the Company to its partners totaled $39 million
(1994 nine months, $0.1 million).  During 1994, $36 million was
utilized to repay outstanding debt, thereby reducing partner
distributions.  Total distributions paid to the IPU unitholders
during the nine months of 1995 totaled $15 million, or $1.42 per
unit, as compared to $14 million, or $1.27 per unit, for the 1994
period.

     For the year 1995, the Company's share of Joint Venture
expenditures is expected to approximate $49 million, of which $29
million is targeted towards development activities.  During the
nine months of 1995, $41 million was called by the Joint Venture
(1994 nine months, $44 million).

     The Company's ability to generate cash is primarily dependent
on the prices it receives for the sale of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) and, to a lesser extent, the sale of crude oil and liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG).  LNG and LPG are primarily sold under long-
term contracts whose prices are indexed by a basket of Indonesian
crudes.  The Company cannot predict with any degree of certainty
the prices it will receive in future periods for its LNG and crude
oil.  The Company's financial condition, operating results and
liquidity will be materially affected by any significant
fluctuations in its sales prices.  In the event that cash generated
from operations is not sufficient to meet capital investment and
other requirements, any shortfall will be funded through cash
contributions by the partners. 



                      UNIMAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

                    Quarter Ended September 30, 1995
              Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1994

     Net earnings for the third quarter of 1995 were $8 million, or
$2 million lower than 1994's third quarter earnings.  The decrease
in earnings was primarily due to lower LNG sales volumes and
prices.

     For the third quarter of 1995, revenues were $44 million, a
decrease of $8 million from the 1994 corresponding quarter.  These
lower revenues were the result of a 6 percent decrease in the
average price received for LNG and crude oil in addition to a 17
percent decrease in LNG sales volumes.  The LNG sales price during
the third quarter of 1995 averaged $2.55 per million btus (1994
third quarter, $2.70 per mmbtu).  The Company's average realized
crude oil price during the 1995 third quarter was $16.37 per barrel
(1994 third quarter, $17.37 per barrel).  The lower sales prices
affected revenues adversely by about $3 million.

     Gross LNG sales decreased by 15 cargoes to 52 cargoes during
the third quarter of 1995.  On a net equivalent cargo basis, the
Joint Venture sold 30.6 net equivalent cargoes (1994 third quarter,
37.0 net equivalent cargoes).   The lower LNG volumes impacted
revenues adversely by about $7 million.  Gross crude oil and
condensate volumes were 4.1 million barrels for the 1995 third
quarter, or 7 percent lower than the corresponding 1994 quarter. 
Conversely, crude oil and condensate volumes net to the Company of
424 thousand barrels were 42 percent higher (1994 third quarter,
299 thousand barrels).  The higher Company oil volumes affected
revenues favorably by about $2 million.

     Production costs of $6 million were about $1 million above
last year's third quarter costs due to higher operating expenses
and workover costs on development wells.  Depletion charges
decreased $4 million because of lower third quarter net oil and gas
production and the continued effect of the fourth quarter 1994
reserve additions.

     Income taxes in the third quarter of 1995 were $20 million. 
The decrease in current tax expense during the third quarter of
1995 was primarily from the decrease in LNG revenues.  The
effective tax rates for the 1995 and 1994 third quarters were 70
percent and 67 percent respectively.  These rates are the aggregate
of Indonesian source income taxed at a 56 percent rate, and certain
expenses attributable to Unimar activities which are not deductible
in the partnership.

     Net earnings for the nine months of 1995 were $33 million, or
$5 million higher than 1994's nine month earnings (before
extraordinary item).  The increase in earnings was primarily due to
higher LNG revenues and lower non-cash charges.

     Revenues for the nine months of 1995 were $158 million, or $8
million above 1994's corresponding revenues.  Higher LNG and oil
realized sales prices were the main factors contributing to this
favorable variance offset in part by lower LNG and oil sales
volumes.  The average LNG sales price for the nine month 1995
period was $2.70 per million btus, an 8 percent increase over the
1994 nine month price of $2.51.  The Company's realized crude oil
sales price averaged $17.26 per barrel, a 5 percent increase over
the 1994 corresponding price of $16.46.  The increase in sales
prices impacted revenues favorably by about $16 million.

     Gross LNG sales were 183 cargoes in the nine months of 1995
and 1994.  On a net equivalent cargo basis, the Joint Venture sold
101.2 net equivalent cargoes during the nine months of 1995 (1994
nine months, 104.4 net equivalent cargoes); the lower cargo figure
in the current year reflected a greater percentage of cargoes sold
under contracts in which the Company has lower equity interests. 
The 1995 results included the commencement of sales under Package
V's Korean medium term sales contract.  For the year 1995, the
Joint Venture expects to deliver fewer net equivalent cargoes than
the net equivalent cargoes delivered in 1994.  Gross crude oil and
condensate volumes for the nine months of 1995 were 13.3 million
barrels, slightly below the comparative period in 1994.  Crude oil
sales volumes net to the Company of 1.3 million barrels were also
lower than last year's volumes by about 6 percent, mainly due to
lower expenditures which are cost recoverable.  The decreased sales
volumes affected revenues adversely by about $6 million.  Other
items,  including  IPU  accruals  and  final  settlement,  impacted

revenues adversely by about $2 million during the nine months of
1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

     Production costs for the nine months of 1995 amounted to $18
million, an increase of $3 million over last year's comparative
period.  Higher operating expenses and workover costs accounted for
the majority of this increase.

     Depletion charges decreased $8 million due to lower net oil
and gas production and the effect of the fourth quarter 1994
reserve additions; these factors contributed to a 35 cent per net
equivalent barrel lower depletion charge in the 1995 nine months as
compared to the comparative 1994 period.

     Income taxes in the nine months of 1995 increased $10 million
to $73 million.  The increase in current tax expense during the
1995 nine month period resulted primarily from the increased
revenues.  The effective tax rate for both the 1995 and 1994
periods was 69 percent.  This rate is the aggregate of Indonesian
source income taxed at a 56 percent rate, and certain expenses
attributable to Unimar activities which are not deductible in the
partnership.

     The extraordinary loss on redemption of debt in 1994 was a $3
million loss on the early redemption of the Company's 8-1/4%
convertible subordinated guaranteed debentures, due originally in
December of 1995.  These debentures were repaid on January 5, 1994
in the principal amount of $36.4 million.
