             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED



1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation, have been included.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1993 included in the Lyondell Petrochemical Company (Company) 1993 Annual
Report and the Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. Certain amounts from prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2.  ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" (Statement).  The Company adopted the provisions of
the Statement for investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994.  In
accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting principle.  The effect of adopting
the Statement had no impact on income.

In the first quarter of 1993, effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its
method of accounting for the cost of repairs and maintenance incurred in
connection with turnarounds of major units at its manufacturing facilities.
Under the new method, turnaround costs exceeding $5 million are deferred and
amortized on a straight-line basis until the next planned turnaround, generally
four to six years.  In prior years, all turnaround costs were expensed as
incurred.  The Company believes that the new method of accounting is preferable
in that it provides for a better matching of turnaround costs with future
product revenues.  The cumulative effect of this accounting change for years
prior to 1993 resulted in a benefit of $33 million ($22 million or $0.27 per
share after income taxes), and was included in first quarter 1993 income.

3.  RESTRICTED FUNDS

As of June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, cash in the amount of $45 million and
$73 million, respectively, was restricted for use in connection with LYONDELL-
CITGO Refining Company Ltd. (LCR) capital projects, including the Refinery
upgrade project, and other expenditures as determined by the LCR owners.  At
June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, in addition to restricted cash, all short-
term investments were restricted for use in connection with LCR capital
projects, including the Refinery upgrade project, and other expenditures as
determined by the LCR owners.

4.  INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 1994 the Company held approximately $84 million of investments in
debt securities composed primarily of commercial paper, including $72 million
classified as cash equivalents.  As of January 1, 1994 the Company held
approximately $70 million of investments in debt securities composed primarily
of commercial paper, including $64 million classified as cash equivalents.  The
cost of securities held at June 30, 1994 and January 1, 1994 approximated their
estimated fair value and were classified as available-for-sale.

The Company realized no gains or losses on sales of securities during the six-
month period ended June 30, 1994.  All securities held by the Company as of June
30, 1994 have remaining maturities of less than one year. At June 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993, in addition to restricted cash, all short-term investments
were restricted for use in connection with LCR capital projects, including the
Refinery upgrade project, and other expenditures as determined by the LCR
owners.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and
services incident to the ordinary conduct of business.  In the aggregate, such
commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

In connection with the transfer of assets and liabilities from ARCO to the
Company, the Company agreed to assume certain liabilities arising out of the
operation of the Company's integrated petrochemical and petroleum processing
business prior to July 1, 1988.  In connection with the transfer of such
liabilities, the Company and ARCO entered into an agreement (Cross-Indemnity
Agreement) whereby the Company has agreed to defend and indemnify ARCO against
certain uninsured claims and liabilities which ARCO may incur relating to the
operation of the business of the Company prior to July 1, 1988, including
certain liabilities which may arise out of pending and future lawsuits.

ARCO indemnified the Company under the Cross-Indemnity Agreement with respect to
other claims or liabilities and other matters of litigation not related to the
assets or business included in the consolidated financial statements.  ARCO has
also indemnified the Company for all federal taxes which might be assessed upon
audit of the operations of the Company included in the consolidated financial
statements prior to January 12, 1989, and for all state and local taxes for the
period prior to July 1, 1988.

In addition to lawsuits for which the Company has indemnified ARCO, the Company
is also subject to various lawsuits and proceedings.  Subject to the uncertainty
inherent in all litigation, management believes the resolution of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
operations.

The Company's policy is to be in compliance with all applicable environmental
laws. The Company is subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations
concerning emissions to the air, discharges to surface and subsurface waters and
the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
waste materials. Some of these laws and regulations are subject to varying and
conflicting interpretations.  In addition, the Company cannot accurately predict
future developments, such as increasingly strict requirements of environmental
laws, inspection and enforcement policies and compliance costs therefrom which
might affect the handling, manufacture, use, emission or disposal of products,
other materials or hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

Subject to the terms of the Cross-Indemnity Agreement, the Company is currently
contributing funds to ARCO for the cleanup of two waste sites (French Ltd. and
Brio, both of which are located near Houston, Texas) under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended and
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. The Company is also
subject to certain assessment and remedial actions at the Refinery under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).  In addition, the Company has
negotiated an order with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC), formerly the Texas Water Commission, for assessment and remediation of
groundwater and soil contamination at the Refinery.

The Company has accrued $19 million related to future CERCLA, RCRA and TNRCC
assessment and remediation costs, of which $2 million is included in current
liabilities while the remaining amounts are expected to be incurred over the
next three to seven years.  However, it is possible that new information about
the sites for which the reserve has been established, or future developments
such as involvement in other CERCLA, RCRA, TNRCC or other comparable state law
investigations, could require the Company to reassess its potential exposure
related to environmental matters.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (CONTINUED)

From April 1993 to June 1994, two process waste water streams at the Channelview
Complex were not in compliance with applicable Benzene National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) regulations. After learning
that these streams were not controlled in accordance with the Benzene NESHAPS
regulations, Company employees determined that the streams did not create a
discernible impact on health or safety and achieved compliance with the
regulations.  The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $1 million
in capital costs in connection with these waste water streams to achieve
on-going compliance with the Benzene NESHAPS regulations.  The Company notified
the TNRCC and the EPA that the two streams were not controlled in accordance
with the Benzene NESHAPS regulations.  On June 6, 1994, the Company received a
Notice of Violation from the TNRCC regarding the two streams.  In an initial
enforcement conference the TNRCC has indicated that it intends to proceed with
an administrative enforcement action, and the Company expects that the TNRCC
will impose an administrative fine.

In the opinion of management, any liability arising from these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the
Company, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of the
matters discussed in this note could have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations for that period.

7.  DIVIDENDS

On June 15, 1994, the Company paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.225 per
share to stockholders of record on May 20, 1994.  Additionally, on July 22,
1994, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.225 per
share of common stock, payable September 15, 1994 to stockholders of record on
August 12, 1994.

8.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for all periods presented are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the periods, which was 80,000,000
shares.

9.  CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 11, 1994, Lyondell filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement
on Form S-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 relating to 39,921,400
shares of Lyondell common stock held by ARCO (representing approximately 49.9%
of the 80,000,000 shares of Lyondell common stock outstanding as of that date).
Also on July 11, 1994, ARCO filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement
on Form S-3 relating to the issuance of debt securities (Exchangeable Notes)
exchangeable upon maturity, at ARCO's option, into Lyondell common stock or
cash.   If the Exchangeable Notes offering is consummated, ARCO has informed the
Company that it intends to cause the ARCO officers who currently serve on the
Lyondell Board of Directors to resign; however, ARCO has not limited its right
to nominate and vote for candidates for Lyondell's Board of Directors. In
addition, if the offering is consummated, ARCO has also stated its current
intent to vote its shares of Lyondell common stock proportionately to the votes
of the non-ARCO stockholders, except under certain circumstances. However, there
can be no assurances that the Exchangeable Notes offering will be consummated.
ARCO has further stated that even if the Exchangeable Notes offering is not
consummated, ARCO's management intends to continuously review all aspects of its
investment in Lyondell. The implementation of any transaction relating to ARCO's
investment in Lyondell's common stock will depend upon the market price of
Lyondell common stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, prospects
for ARCO's own business and other future developments.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective July 1, 1994, LCR elected to replace its $100 million revolving credit
facility with a $70 million revolving credit facility with substantially similar
terms. No amounts were outstanding under the previous credit facility as of June
30, 1994. The new credit facility may be extended at the request of LCR upon
consent of the bank group.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



GENERAL

On July 1, 1993, the Company and CITGO Petroleum Corporation (CITGO) announced
the commencement of operations of LYONDELL-CITGO Refining Company Ltd. (LCR), a
new entity owned by subsidiaries of the Company and CITGO.  LCR owns and
operates the refining business formerly owned by the Company, including the
full-conversion refinery (Refinery).  LCR is undertaking a major upgrade project
at the Refinery to enable the facility to process substantial additional volumes
of very heavy crude oil.  CITGO is providing a major portion of the funds for
the upgrade project and has provided in excess of $100 million for funding other
capital projects.

The cost of the upgrade project, based on the detailed engineering completed to
date, currently is estimated to be approximately $830 million.  In addition, LCR
has estimated a 15 percent ($125 million) allowance for contingency costs, which
would increase the total project cost estimate to approximately $955 million.
The final cost of the project will be influenced by numerous factors, many of
which are beyond LCR's control, including the timing and terms of necessary
construction, operating and regulatory permits, as well as construction schedule
delays whether caused by adverse weather conditions, material shortages, labor
disputes or otherwise.

On July 1, 1993, LCR entered into a long-term crude oil supply contract (Crude
Supply Contract) with LAGOVEN, S.A., an affiliate of CITGO.  In addition, under
terms of a long-term product sales agreement (Products Agreement), CITGO is
purchasing a substantial portion of the refined products produced at the
Refinery. Both LAGOVEN and CITGO are subsidiaries of Petroleos de Venezuela,
S.A., the national oil company of Venezuela.

Prior to commencement of LCR operations on July 1, 1993, the petrochemical and
refining operations of the Company were considered to be a single segment due to
the integrated nature of their operations.  However, these operations are now
considered to be separate segments due to the formation of LCR and the related
separate management and operations of that entity.

The petrochemical segment consists of olefins, including ethylene, propylene,
butadiene, butylenes and specialty products; polyolefins, including
polypropylene and low density polyethylene; aromatics produced at the
Channelview Complex, including benzene and toluene; methanol and refinery
blending stocks.

The refining segment consists of refined petroleum products, including gasoline,
heating oil and jet fuel; aromatics produced at the Refinery, including benzene,
toluene, paraxylene and orthoxylene; lubricants, including industrial and motor
oils; olefins feedstocks and crude oil resales. The following table sets forth
the Company's major product volumes sold for the periods indicated. Sales
volumes include production, purchases of products for resale, propylene
production from the product flexibility unit and draws from inventory. The
refining segment sales revenue includes crude oil resales amounting to $58
million and $98 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively and $119 million and $225 million for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Summarized below is the segment data for the Company which includes certain pro
forma adjustments necessary to present the petrochemical and refining operations
as individual segments for periods prior to the commencement of LCR operations
on July 1, 1993. These adjustments relate principally to allocations of costs
and expenses between the two segments and are based on current agreements
between the Company and LCR. The refining segment is primarily composed of LCR
operations.  Intersegment sales between petrochemical and refining segments
include olefins feedstocks produced at the Refinery and gasoline blending stocks
produced at the Channelview Complex and were made at prices that are based on
current market values.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $32 million or $.40 per share
compared to a net loss of $11 million or $.14 per share for the second quarter
of 1993.  The net loss in the second quarter of 1993 included charges of $6
million resulting from a write-off of engineering costs associated with the
cancellation of a capital project and $2 million for a workforce reduction and
realignment.  Excluding the effects of these adjustments, earnings improved $35
million during the second quarter of 1994 compared to the second quarter of
1993.  This improvement was primarily due to higher margins for petrochemicals.

Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $10 million higher compared to the
first quarter of 1994.  This increase was primarily due to higher petrochemical
margins, partially offset by lower ethylene sales volumes and lower
profitability within the refining segment.

Net income for the first six months of 1994 was $54 million or $.68 per share
compared to a net income of $3 million or $.04 per share for the first six
months of 1993.  First six months 1993 earnings included a $22 million favorable
adjustment for the cumulative effect related to prior periods associated with a
change in accounting for major maintenance turnarounds.  Excluding the effect of
this accounting change, earnings improved $73 million during the first six
months of 1994 compared to the first six months of 1993.  This improvement was
primarily due to higher margins for petrochemicals and refined products as well
as higher ethylene sales volumes.



PETROCHEMICAL SEGMENT

REVENUES  Sales and other operating revenues for the second quarter of 1994 were
$439 million compared to $400 million for the second quarter of 1993.  The $39
million increase was primarily due to higher petrochemical sales prices
reflecting the improved worldwide economy which has created better market
conditions for petrochemicals generally.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
Sales and other operating revenues for the first six months of 1994 were $823
million compared to $790 million for the first six months of 1993, an increase
of $33 million.  The increase was caused by higher petrochemical sales volumes,
partially offset by generally lower petrochemical sales prices except for sales
prices of methanol which were higher.  Higher demand for petrochemicals was
caused by the improved worldwide economy.  Methanol sales prices were higher due
to higher demand caused by the improvement in the worldwide economy and
increased use for MTBE as well as industry supply disruptions.

COST OF SALES  Cost of sales was $362 million in the second quarter of 1994
compared to $393 million in the second quarter of 1993, a decrease of $31
million.  Cost of sales for the first six months of 1994 was $65 million lower
compared to the first six months of 1993.  Contributing to these decreases were
lower feedstock costs generally caused by lower crude oil prices and the write-
off during the second quarter of 1993 of engineering costs associated with the
cancellation of the capital project.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES   Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1994 were unchanged at $9
million compared to the second quarter of 1993.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $1 million higher for the first six months of 1994
compared to the first six months of 1993.

OPERATING INCOME   Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 was $68
million compared to an operating loss of $2 million in the second quarter of
1993.  The $70 million increase was primarily due to higher ethylene and
methanol sales margins.  Improved ethylene margins resulted primarily from
lower feedstock costs and higher ethylene sales prices. Olefins feedstock
costs were lower due to lower crude oil prices. Ethylene sales prices
were higher due to higher demand caused by improvement in the worldwide economy,
particularly in the U.S. automotive and construction sectors. Methanol margins
were higher primarily due to higher sales prices.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of
1994 increased $29 million.  The increase was primarily due to higher ethylene
margins, partially offset by lower ethylene sales volumes.  Ethylene margins
continued to improve during the current quarter due to higher sales prices
caused by improvement in the worldwide economy. Although industry demand for
ethylene was strong and production rates remained high, the Company's ethylene
sales volumes were lower during the current period due to the repayment of
product as a result of inventory exchanges entered into during prior periods.

Operating income for the first six months of 1994 was $107 million compared to
$10 million for the first six months of 1993.  The $97 million increase was
primarily due to higher ethylene and methanol sales margins and to higher
ethylene sales volumes.  The higher methanol sales margins and higher ethylene
sales volumes were caused by the higher demand brought about by the improvement
in the worldwide economy.  The higher ethylene sales margins were due to lower
olefins feedstock costs.


REFINING SEGMENT

REVENUES  Sales and other operating revenues for the second quarter of 1994 were
$570 million compared to $789 million for the second quarter of 1993, a
reduction of $219 million.  Sales and other operating revenues for the first six
months of 1994 were $1,105 million, a $498 million reduction compared to the
first six months of 1993.  These decreases were due to lower resale volumes of
purchased light refined products, lower sales prices for refined products and
lower crude oil resales. Effective with the beginning of LCR operations on July
1, 1993, a majority of the refined products produced at the Refinery is sold to
CITGO under the Products Agreement and, as a result, the purchase and resale
activity for light refined products conducted for logistic and other reasons
declined during the current period.  Refined products sales prices were lower
primarily due to lower industry crude oil prices.  Crude oil resale volumes were
lower due to reduced logistical purchases required to meet refinery feedstock
requirements, a significant percentage of which are satisfied by Venezuelan
crude oil purchased under the Crude Supply Contract.

                                       12

COST OF SALES  Cost of sales was $541 million in the second quarter of 1994
compared to $756 million in the second quarter of 1993, a decrease of $215
million.  Cost of sales decreased by $518 million in the first six months of
1994 compared to the first six months of 1993.  These decreases were primarily
due to lower purchases for resale of light refined products, lower purchases of
crude oil that were resold and lower feedstock costs primarily due to lower
crude oil prices.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES  Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $14 million in the second quarter of 1994, an
increase of $2 million compared to the second quarter of 1993.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $5 million in the first six months of
1994 compared to the first six months of 1993.  These increases were primarily
due to general and administrative expenses attributable to the creation of LCR
as a separate entity and the treatment of ongoing costs beginning July 1, 1993.

OPERATING INCOME  Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 was $15
million compared to $21 million for the second quarter of 1993.  The $6 million
decrease was primarily due to lower industry refining margins, partially offset
by higher Venezuelan crude oil processing rates and improved profits from
lubricants.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 was lower by $11 million
compared to the first quarter of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to lower
aromatics profitability and lower refined products margins.  Also contributing
to the decrease was lower profitability for lubricants.  Contributions from
aromatics declined from a very strong first quarter primarily due to unit
downtime for maintenance turnarounds.  Refined products margins were lower
primarily due to crude oil costs increasing more rapidly than product prices.

Operating income for the first six months of 1994 was $41 million compared to
$26 million for the first six months of 1993.  The $15 million increase was
primarily due to improved refined products margins.  Refined products margins
were higher primarily due to processing higher volumes of Venezuelan crude oil
purchased under the Crude Supply Contract.



UNALLOCATED

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES  General and administrative expenses were
$12 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to $14 million in the second
quarter of 1993, a decrease of $2 million.  General and administrative expenses
were $23 million in the first six months of 1994, a $1 million decrease compared
to the first six months of 1993.  The improvement was primarily due to the
charge during the second quarter of 1993 for the workforce reduction and
realignment.

MINORITY INTEREST IN LYONDELL-CITGO REFINING COMPANY LTD.  Minority interest was
$2 million in the second quarter of 1994 and $5 million for the first six months
of 1994, representing CITGO's allocated share of LCR's income.

INCOME TAX  The effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 1994 from
continuing operations was 37 percent compared to 22 percent (tax benefit) for
the second quarter of 1993.  The effective income tax rate during the first six
months of 1994 from continuing operations was 36 percent compared to 23 percent
(tax benefit) for the year earlier period.  The tax benefit in 1993 was reduced
by a charge to state deferred taxes related to Texas franchise taxes, resulting
in relatively low effective income tax benefit rates.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $72 million
which was net of annual property tax payments of $28 million made in the first
quarter of 1994 and federal income tax payments of $29 million made in the
second quarter of 1994.  Cash flows associated with investing activities during
the six months ended June 30, 1994 included capital expenditures of $79 million,
of which $29 million was for environmentally related projects and $28 million
was for the upgrade project at the Refinery which was contributed by CITGO, the
minority owner. Cash flows associated with financing activities during the six
months ended June 30, 1994 included $36 million of dividend payments and a net
$12 million for debt repayments.  On July 22, 1994, the Board of Directors
declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.225 per share of common stock,
payable September 15, 1994 to stockholders of record on August 12, 1994.
Management is currently considering additional capital projects which could
result in a moderate increase over budgeted 1994 capital expenditures.


CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Lyondell's second quarter and first six months of 1994 results reflect a
petrochemicals business environment which has continued to improve. These
results were partially offset by refining industry conditions which reflect
depressed margins.  The effect of the depressed industry margins on LCR was
partially offset by the benefits of LCR's Crude Supply Contract.

Profitability and cash flows for the petrochemical and refining businesses are
affected by market conditions, feedstock cost volatility, capital expenditures
required to meet increasing environmental standards, repair and maintenance
costs, and downtime of production units due to turnarounds.  Turnarounds on
major units can have significant financial impact due to the repair and
maintenance costs incurred as well as the associated loss of production,
resulting in lower profitability during the period of the turnaround. The
methanol unit at the Channelview Complex is currently expected to be shut down
for maintenance for approximately six weeks during the third quarter.  In
addition, turnarounds on the coker and one of the major crude distillation units
at the Refinery currently are scheduled to begin in October 1994. During these
Refinery turnarounds, which are also expected to last approximately six weeks,
work will be completed to "tie-in" the crude distillation unit to the upgrade
project, thereby avoiding or reducing downtime of the unit that otherwise would
be necessary for the completion of the upgrade project. However, the timing of
such turnarounds may be accelerated or delayed because of numerous factors, some
of which are beyond the Company's control.

Management believes that the low costs and operating flexibility of its
petrochemical business, as well as its large production capacity, position it to
generate higher cash flows if the petrochemical cycle continues to improve.  In
the first six months of 1994, the domestic olefins industry operated at close to
maximum available capacity. However, additional capacity scheduled to come on-
stream in 1994 and early 1995 (including one plant that came on stream during
the second quarter of 1994) and rising feedstock prices may negatively affect
future operating rates and margins.  Management believes the Company has
significantly improved the outlook for its refining business by forming LCR
which has entered into the Crude Supply Contract and Products Agreement.  These
arrangements are designed to diminish the impact of market volatility and
stabilize cash flow at attractive levels relative to historic performance,
although the remaining portion of LCR's crude oil volume continues to be
sensitive to market conditions.

Although the future economic environment cannot be known with certainty, the
Company believes that the cash flow management, cost reduction and other steps
taken during the past two years have positioned it to capitalize on the
improvement in the business environment.  Further, the Company believes that
business conditions will be such that cash balances, cash generated from
operating activities and existing lines of credit will be adequate to meet
future cash requirements for scheduled debt repayments, necessary capital
expenditures and to sustain for the reasonably foreseeable future the regular
quarterly dividend.  However, the Company continually evaluates its cash
requirements and allocates cash in order to maximize stockholder returns.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 11, 1994, Lyondell filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement
on Form S-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 relating to 39,921,400
shares of Lyondell common stock held by ARCO (representing approximately 49.9%
of the 80,000,000 shares of Lyondell common stock outstanding as of that date).
Also on July 11, 1994, ARCO filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement
on Form S-3 relating to the issuance of debt securities (Exchangeable Notes)
exchangeable upon maturity, at ARCO's option, into Lyondell common stock or
cash.   If the Exchangeable Notes offering is consummated, ARCO has informed the
Company that it intends to cause the ARCO officers who currently serve on the
Lyondell Board of Directors to resign; however, ARCO has not limited its right
to nominate and vote for candidates for Lyondell's Board of Directors. In
addition, if the offering is consummated, ARCO has also stated its current
intent to vote its shares of Lyondell common stock proportionately to the votes
of the non-ARCO stockholders, except under certain circumstances. However, there
can be no assurances that the Exchangeable Notes offering will be consummated.
ARCO has further stated that even if the Exchangeable Notes offering is not
consummated, ARCO's management intends to continuously review all aspects of its
investment in Lyondell. The implementation of any transaction relating to ARCO's
investment in Lyondell's common stock will depend upon the market price of
Lyondell common stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, prospects
for ARCO's own business and other future developments.



                              ___________________

Management cautions against projecting any future results based on present or
prior earnings levels because of the cyclical nature of the refining and
petrochemical industries and uncertainties associated with the United States and
worldwide economies and United States governmental regulatory actions.

                                 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          Reference is made to the disclosure on page 13 of the Company's Annual
          Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993 (hereinafter
          referred to as "1993 Form 10-K Report") regarding Environmental
          Matters.  In April 1994, new regulations relating to emission
          standards for a large number of petrochemicals such as methanol,
          butadiene and toluene, were announced by the EPA.  The Company is in
          the process of analyzing the impact that these new regulations will
          have on its petrochemical business.

          Reference is made to the Company's Report on Form 8-K dated as of July
          11, 1994, in which the Company reported the results of an independent
          investigation conducted by the Audit Committee of the Board regarding
          the compliance status of two process waste water streams under the
          applicable Benzene National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air
          Pollutants ("NESHAPS") regulations and certain issues raised by an
          employee. The Company has received a notice of violation from the
          TNRCC regarding the two streams and in an initial enforcement
          conference the TNRCC has indicated that it intends to proceed with an
          administrative enforcement action. Although the Company expects that
          the TNRCC will impose an administrative fine, the Company does not
          believe that any aspects of the matters described above will subject
          the Company to criminal liability or have a material adverse effect on
          the Company's business or financial condition.

          Reference is made to the disclosure on page 18 of the 1993 Form 10-K
          Report for the year ended December 31, 1993, and on page 13 of the
          Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March
          31, 1993, regarding the City of Houston's lawsuit against the Company
          alleging violations of the Texas Clean Air Act and the Texas
          Administrative Code and the preliminary settlement agreement relating
          thereto. The settlement agreement was approved by the court in July of
          1994.
