                           NOTES TO PENNZOIL COMPANY
 
                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements of Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil") illustrate the pro forma effect of
certain proposed transactions. These transactions include the disposition of
Pennzoil's motor oil, refined products and fast lube operations ("Pennzoil
Products Group"), and the planned use of cash payments made by Pennzoil Products
Group to Pennzoil immediately prior to the Spin-Off (as defined below).
 
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been
prepared assuming that the transactions occurred on the last day of the period
presented. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings has been
prepared assuming that the transactions and agreements occurred at the beginning
of the period presented.
 
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared using assumptions deemed appropriate and are presented herein for
illustrative purposes only. These unaudited pro forma financial statements are
not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of
operations of Pennzoil, or of the financial position or results of operations of
Pennzoil that would have actually been reported had the events reported herein
occurred as of the dates indicated.
 
PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
 
     (a) Investment and Other Income, Net -- Represents an increase in interest
income as a result of the application to cash of $60 million in proceeds to be
received from Pennzoil Products Group in accordance with the distribution
agreement. The interest rate assumed for this pro forma adjustment is 5.5%,
which approximates Pennzoils' short-term investment rates.
 
     (b) Interest Expense -- Represents a reduction in interest expense as a
result of the application of cash to be received from Pennzoil Products Group
immediately prior to the Spin-Off, which will be applied to reduce amounts
outstanding under Pennzoil's various debt agreements. The interest rate assumed
for this pro forma adjustment is 6%, which approximates Pennzoil's short-term
borrowing rates.
 
     (c) Income Taxes -- Reflects the tax impact of pro forma adjustments
assuming a 38% effective tax rate.
 
     (d) Net Assets of Discontinued Operations -- Represents the disposition of
Pennzoil Products Group. Pennzoil Products Group will be separated and
subsequently spun off from Pennzoil. Pennzoil shareholders will receive a pro
rata distribution of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
the Pennzoil Products Group (the "Spin-Off").
 
     (e) Long-Term Debt -- Represents transfer of debt of $5.7 million plus
$442.7 million of cash received from Pennzoil Products Group used to reduce
outstanding variable-rate indebtedness and to reduce the intercompany trade
receivable associated with crude oil sales. Certain intercompany indebtedness is
to be repaid by Pennzoil Products Group to Pennzoil immediately prior to the
Spin-Off. The maximum payment is the total of $500 million plus outstanding cash
of Pennzoil Products Group, less existing third party debt and capital lease
obligations of Pennzoil Products Group. The maximum payment has been assumed in
the pro forma statements. If the cash received from Pennzoil Products Group is
in excess of the variable-rate indebtedness outstanding at such time, Pennzoil
currently intends that the balance would be temporarily applied to cash and
would subsequently be used for debt reduction through repurchase, redemption or
payment at maturity of a portion of Pennzoil's outstanding notes and debentures
due 1999-2009, which may create an extraordinary loss on extinguishment of
indebtedness. Pennzoil has not determined which notes and debentures may be
repurchased or redeemed in such event.
 
     (f) Shareholder's Equity -- Represents disposition of net assets of
discontinued operations less reduction in debt to be funded by cash received
from Pennzoil Products Group.
