                  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 1995 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 six months ended June 30,
1996 amounted to $47 million, an increase of $7 million as compared
to the same period in 1995.  The increase resulted primarily from
higher sales prices and higher LNG sales volumes.  Capital
expenditures and net distributions to the partners for the first
six months of 1996 were $11 million and $35 million, respectively. 
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, capital expenditures and
net distributions to the partners were $11 million and $27 million,
respectively.

     The Company's share of the 1996 Indonesian Joint Venture (IJV)
expenditures is expected to be approximately $44 million of which
$24 million is anticipated for exploration and development
activities.  During the first six months of 1996, $25 million was
called by the IJV as compared to $28 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.

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


Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996
                 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1995

     Net earnings for the second quarter of 1996 were $12 million, 
as compared to $11 million in the prior year.  The increase in
earnings was mainly due to higher revenues as discussed below.

UNIMAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

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


     Second quarter 1996 revenues were $58 million, an increase of
$5 million over the corresponding 1995 quarter.  The increased
revenues were primarily attributable to a 6 percent increase in
both LNG sales prices and volumes, and a 5 percent increase in
crude oil sales prices, which were partially offset by a 20 percent
decrease in crude oil sales volumes.

     The average price received for LNG during the second quarter
of 1996 increased to $3.00 per million BTUs as compared to $2.84
for the same period in 1995.  The average crude oil price increased
$0.98 to $18.91 per barrel in the second quarter of 1996.

     Gross LNG sales increased 18% to 67 cargoes in the second
quarter of 1996.  The IJV's share of the LNG sold increased 6% to
100 trillion BTUs (33.8 net equivalent cargoes) from 94 trillion
BTUs (31.8 net equivalent cargoes).  The percentage increase in
gross cargoes was greater than the percentage increase in the IJV's
share because the additional cargoes delivered were under those
contracts in which the IJV has a lower net revenue sharing
interest.  Crude oil volumes net to the Company decreased by 81
thousand barrels to 323 thousand barrels, due primarily to the
timing of crude oil liftings.

     Indonesian income tax expense in the second quarter of 1996
increased $3 million to $28 million.  The increase in current
income tax expense during the 1996 second quarter was primarily due
to higher second quarter revenues.  The effective tax rates for the
1996 and 1995 second quarters were 70 percent and 69 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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

     Net earnings for the first six months of 1996 were $30
million,  an increase of $5 million over the same period in 1995. 
The increase in earnings was mainly the result of higher revenues
as discussed below.

     Revenues for the first half of 1996 were $126 million, or $12
million higher than the first half of 1995.  Of the $12 million
increase, $11 million was from higher prices received for LNG and
crude oil sales.  The average price received for LNG for the first
six months of 1996 was $2.98 per million BTUs, as compared to $2.76
for the same period in 1995.  The price received for crude oil
sales averaged $18.84 per barrel, an increase of $1.14 per barrel
from the 1995 six month average.  The prices received by the

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


Company for its products reflected higher worldwide crude oil
prices during the first half of 1996 as compared to the first half
of 1995.

     Gross LNG sales increased 8% to 141 cargoes in the first half
of 1996.  The IJV's share of LNG volumes increased 2% to 213
trillion BTUs (72.4 net equivalent cargoes) from 208 trillion BTUs
(70.6 net equivalent cargoes).  The percentage increase in gross
cargoes was greater than the percentage increase in the IJV's share
because the additional cargoes delivered were under those contracts
in which the IJV has a lower net revenue sharing interest.  Crude
oil volumes of 869 thousand barrels, net to the Company, were
comparable to last year's 873 thousand barrels for the first six
months.

     Exploration costs increased during the first six months of
1996, due to the current year seismic program.  These costs reflect
an increased budget for seismic expenditures in 1996.
  
     Depletion, depreciation and amortization charges increased $1
million to $24 million, mainly due to the increased level of
production in the first half of 1996.

     Income taxes in the first half of 1996 increased $7 million to
$60 million.  The increase in current tax expense during the first
six months of 1996 was primarily due to higher revenues.  The
effective tax rates for the 1996 and 1995 six months were 67
percent and 68 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.<PAGE>
