2.  COMPANY OPERATIONS

The Company operates in two business segments:  petrochemicals and refining.
The petrochemicals segment manufactures a wide variety of petrochemicals
including olefins, polyolefins, methanol, MTBE and aromatics.  The Company's
petrochemical products are used primarily in the manufacture of other chemicals
and products, which in turn are used in the production of a wide variety of
consumer and industrial products.  The refining segment operates primarily
through the Company's interest in LYONDELL-CITGO Refining Company Ltd. ("LCR"),
a Texas limited liability company that is owned by subsidiaries of Lyondell and
CITGO Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO"), and manufactures refined petroleum
products, including gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, fuel oil, aromatics and
lubricants.

5.  ACQUISITION OF ALATHON/R/ HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BUSINESS

On May 1, 1995, the Company acquired the assets associated with Occidental
Chemical Corporation's Alathon/R/ high-density polyethylene ("HDPE") business
("ALATHON Business") for $356 million including certain direct costs, plus
approximately $64 million for inventory.  Assets involved in the purchase
include resin production facilities at Victoria and Matagorda, Texas, associated
research and development activities and the rights to the Alathon/R/ trademark.
These facilities have a combined annual production capacity of approximately 1.5
billion pounds of HDPE. The Company financed the acquisition from internal cash
and $230 million of short-term borrowings from its existing financing
arrangements.

The following unaudited pro forma information combines the results of operations
of the Company and the ALATHON Business for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and assumes that the acquisition of the ALATHON Business occurred on January 1,
1995.  This unaudited pro forma information may not be indicative of results
that would have actually resulted if this transaction had occurred on January 1,
1995 or which may be obtained in the future.

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 Atlantic
Richfield Company ("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

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
of such liabilities, the Company and ARCO entered into an agreement ("Cross-
Indemnity Agreement") whereby the Company 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 has 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
ARCO consolidated income tax returns 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 on the consolidated
financial statements or liquidity of the Company.

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 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 by 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") for
assessment and remediation of groundwater and soil contamination at the
Refinery.

During July 1994, the Company reported results of an independent investigation
conducted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors 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 related issues raised by an employee.  Noncompliance
with the Benzene NESHAPS regulations and the related reporting requirements can
result in civil penalties and, under certain circumstances, substantial civil
and, potentially, criminal penalties.  The Company received a notice of
violation regarding the two streams and paid a fine of $10,200 to the TNRCC. In
addition, the Company incurred approximately $2 million in capital costs in
connection with these waste water streams to achieve on-going compliance with
the Benzene NESHAPS regulations.  Although the Criminal Enforcement Division of
the EPA is conducting a formal investigation, 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 consolidated financial
statements or liquidity of the Company.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company has accrued $17 million related to 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 two to seven years.  In the opinion of management, there is currently
no material range of loss in excess of the amount accrued.  However, it is
possible that new information about the sites for which the reserve has been
established, new technology 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>
 
In the opinion of management, any liability arising from the matters discussed
in this note will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements or liquidity of the Company.  However, the adverse
resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters discussed in
this note could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations
for that period without giving effect to contribution or indemnification
obligations of co-defendants or others, or to the effect of any insurance
coverage that may be available to offset the effects of any such award.


7.  DIVIDENDS

The Company paid regular quarterly dividends of $.225 per share of common stock
during the first and second quarters of 1996.  Additionally, on July 19, 1996
the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.225 per share
of common stock, payable September 15, 1996 to stockholders of record on August
23, 1996.


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.  CAPITALIZED INTEREST

The Company's policy is to capitalize interest cost incurred on debt during the
construction of major projects that exceed one year.  Total interest cost
incurred during the three months ended June 30, 1996 and the six months ended
June 30, 1996 were approximately $29 million and $54 million, respectively, of
which approximately $6 million and $11 million, respectively, were capitalized.
Total interest cost incurred during the three months ended June 30, 1995 and the
six months ended June 30, 1995 were approximately $22 million and $40 million,
respectively.  Approximately $1 million was capitalized during the three months
ended June 30, 1995.  No interest was capitalized during the three months ended
March 31, 1995.


10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 27, 1996, the Company experienced a fire at its Channelview Facility due
to a rupture in a pipeline owned and operated by ARCO Pipe Line Company ("ARCO
Pipe Line"). Although no operating units were directly involved in the fire, the
damage to the pipeline and electrical systems forced the Company to shut down
the entire Channelview Facility. Although the Company and ARCO Pipe Line are
still evaluating the cost of the damage to their respective facilities, the
Company believes that the physical damage to the two companies' facilities on
Lyondell's plant site could be in the $10 million to $15 million range and that
the potential negative impact on Lyondell's after-tax earnings could be in the
$20 million to $25 million range. Certain of the units at the Channelview
Facility have been brought back into operation and the olefins units are in
startup mode. The Channelview Facility is currently expected to be fully
operational within the next several days. A number of factors, including the
full extent of the damage to all the facilities, the availability of repair
materials and the Company's ability to find alternatives to meet customer needs,
will impact the Company's ability to mitigate the financial impact on the
Company's business. In addition, the estimates contained herein are based on
preliminary information and do not take into account the potential effects of
any insurance coverage or contributions to costs by other parties that may be
available to offset such costs.

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



GENERAL

Lyondell Petrochemical Company ("Company" or "Lyondell") operates in two
business segments: petrochemicals and refining. The petrochemical segment
consists of olefins including ethylene, propylene, butadiene, butylenes and
specialty products; polyolefins including polypropylene, low-density
polyethylene and high-density polyethylene ("HDPE"); aromatics produced at the
Channelview petrochemical facility ("Channelview Facility") including benzene
and toluene; methanol; methyl tertiary butyl ether ("MTBE"); and refinery
blending stocks.

On May 1, 1995, the Company acquired from Occidental Chemical Corporation resin
production facilities at Victoria and Matagorda, Texas, with a combined annual
production capacity of approximately 1.5 billion pounds of HDPE, associated
research and development activities and the rights to the Alathon/R/ trademark
("ALATHON Business").  See Note 5 of "NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)."

The refining segment consists of refined petroleum products, including gasoline,
heating oil and jet fuel; aromatics produced at the Houston, Texas refinery
("Refinery") including benzene, toluene, paraxylene and orthoxylene; lubricants,
including industrial and motor oils; olefins feedstocks; and crude oil resales.

On July 1, 1993, Lyondell and CITGO Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO") announced
the commencement of operations of LYONDELL-CITGO Refining Company Ltd. ("LCR"),
a Texas limited liability company owned by subsidiaries of the Company and
CITGO.  LCR owns and operates the refining business formerly owned by the
Company.  LCR is undertaking a major upgrade project at the Refinery to enable
the facility to process substantial additional volumes of very heavy crude oil
("Upgrade Project").  CITGO is providing a major portion of the funds for the
Upgrade Project, which through June 30, 1996 totaled approximately $407 million.
In addition, through June 30, 1996, CITGO has contributed $100 million and
reinvested approximately $35 million of cash distributions for funding other
capital projects.  Lyondell currently expects the cost of the Upgrade Project to
be approximately $1.1 billion.  Lyondell expects to fund one-half of costs in
excess of $1 billion in the form of subordinated loans.  The Upgrade Project is
expected to be operational in early 1997.

Concurrent with the commencement of operations, LCR entered into a long-term
crude oil supply contract ("Crude Supply Contract") with Lagoven, S.A.
("LAGOVEN"), an affiliate of CITGO.  In addition, under terms of a long-term
product sales agreement ("Products Agreement"), CITGO is currently purchasing
all of the light refined products produced at the Refinery.  Both LAGOVEN and
CITGO are subsidiaries of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company
of Venezuela.

The Crude Supply Contract incorporates a formula price based on the market value
of a slate of refined products deemed to be produced from each particular crude
oil or feedstock, less certain deemed and actual costs and a deemed margin which
varies according to the grade of crude oil or other feedstock delivered.  The
actual refining margin earned by LCR under the Crude Supply Contract will vary
depending on, among other things, the efficiency with which LCR conducts its
operations during such period.  If the actual yields, costs or volumes differ
substantially from those contemplated by the Crude Supply Contract, the benefits
of this agreement to LCR could be substantially different than anticipated.
Notwithstanding these limitations, however, the Crude Supply Contract is
designed to reduce the inherent earnings and cash flow volatility of the
refining operations of LCR irrespective of market fluctuations of either crude
oil or refined products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $15 million or $.19 per share
compared to a net income of $135 million or $1.68 per share for the second
quarter of 1995.  The $120 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales
margins for olefins.

Net income was $9 million lower for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the
first quarter of 1996.  This decrease was primarily caused by lower sales
margins for refined products and aromatics.

Net income for the first six months of 1996 was $39 million or $.49 per share
compared to a net income of $262 million or $3.27 per share for the first six
months of 1995.  The $223 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales
margins for olefins and methanol.


PETROCHEMICAL SEGMENT

REVENUES  Sales and other operating revenues, including intersegment sales, were
$614 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $769 million in the
second quarter of 1995, a decline of $155 million.  Sales and other operating
revenues were $223 million lower in the first six months of 1996 compared to the
first six months of 1995.  These decreases were primarily due to lower olefins
sales prices and volumes, partially offset by higher sales of HDPE resulting
from the acquisition of the ALATHON Business effective May 1, 1995.  Compared to
the first part of 1995, which was a period of strong market conditions for
petrochemicals generally, sales prices for petrochemicals during the current
periods were lower due to a decline in market conditions which began in the
latter part of 1995.  This decline was due to additional olefins and polymers
capacity that came onstream in 1995, slower economic growth and inventory
corrections in olefins derivatives.  Additionally, methanol sales prices were
lower in 1996 due to the slower economic growth and higher industry supply.

COST OF SALES   Cost of sales was $532 million in the second quarter of 1996
compared to $520 million in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $12
million.  This increase was due to the addition of the ALATHON Business,
partially offset by lower production costs due to the seven week planned
turnaround of one of the olefins units during the second quarter of 1996.

Cost of sales was $73 million higher during the first six months of 1996
compared to the first six months of 1995.  This increase was primarily due to
the addition of the ALATHON Business and higher feedstock costs in the olefins
and methanol businesses.

SELLING EXPENSES   Selling expenses for the second quarter of 1996 were $29
million, an increase of $10 million compared to the second quarter of 1995.
Selling expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $60 million, an 

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
increase of $28 million compared to the first six months of 1995. These
increases were primarily caused by selling expenses associated with the newly
acquired ALATHON Business.

OPERATING INCOME  On June 2, 1996, the Company's Mont Belvieu, Texas terminal
experienced a fire.  Replacement of the facilities is expected to be completed
late in the third quarter.  The before-tax impact of the fire to second quarter
operating income was approximately $2 million for equipment write-off and repair
costs plus additional costs due to business interruption, all of  which were
below the Company's insurance deductible.  Operating income for the second
quarter of 1996 was $53 million compared to $230 million in the second quarter
of 1995.   The $177 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales margins
for olefins and to a lesser extent to lower sales margins for polymers and to
the higher selling expenses.  The lower olefins and polymers sales margins
during the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995
resulted primarily from lower sales prices.  Olefins and polymers sales prices
were lower due to the decline in market conditions which began in the third
quarter of 1995.  Contributing to the lower olefins sales margins were higher
feedstock costs which were caused by higher industry crude oil prices and lower
production resulting from the olefins unit turnaround.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of
1996 increased $4 million.  This improvement was primarily due to higher
olefins sales margins.  Olefins sales margins increased due to higher sales
prices resulting from improved markets which more than offset the impacts of
higher feedstock costs, the olefins unit turnaround and the Mont Belvieu fire.

Operating income for the first six months of 1996 was $102 million compared to
$426 million for the first six months of 1995.  The $324 million decrease was
primarily due to lower olefins and methanol sales margins.  The lower olefins
and methanol sales margins during the first six months of 1996 compared to the
first six months of 1995 primarily resulted from lower sales prices and higher
feedstock costs.  Olefins sales prices were lower due to the decline in market
conditions which began in the third quarter of 1995.  Methanol sales margins
were lower due to a significant decline in prices which began late in the first
quarter of 1995 due to a decline in MTBE-related demand for reformulated
gasoline and an increase in methanol supply.


REFINING SEGMENT

REVENUES  Sales and other operating revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were
$709 million, unchanged compared to the second quarter of 1995.  Sales and other
operating revenues for the first six months of 1996 were $1.4 billion, an
increase of $57 million compared to the first six months of 1995.  This increase
was primarily due to higher sales volumes and prices for crude oil resales and
higher sales prices for light refined products which were caused by higher
industry petroleum prices.

COST OF SALES  Cost of sales was $688 million during the second quarter of 1996
compared to $673 million during the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $15
million.  Cost of sales was $1.3 billion during the first six months of 1996
compared to $1.2 billion during the first six months of 1995, an increase of $85
million.  These increases were primarily caused by higher crude oil and other
petroleum feedstock prices due to higher industry crude oil prices and higher
purchases of crude oil that were resold.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES  Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $2 million higher in the second quarter of 1996
compared to the second quarter of 1995 and were $4 million higher during the
first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.  These
increases were primarily due to higher employee compensation and various outside
consulting services.

OPERATING INCOME  Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 was $5 million
compared to $22 million for the second quarter of 1995.  The $17 million
decrease was primarily due to lower aromatics margins.  Aromatics margins were
lower in 1996 primarily due to lower sales prices, particularly for orthoxylene.
Orthoxylene prices were

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
at historical highs during the first half of 1995 before
returning to a more normal level in the second half of 1995 due to increased
production and lower demand which was further impacted by customers' inventory
reductions.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 compared with the first quarter
of 1996 decreased $23 million.  This decrease in operating income was primarily
due to lower sales margins for refined products and aromatics.  The lower
refined products sales margins were caused by operating problems with the sulfur
plant which reduced Venezuelan crude oil processing rates and limited the
optimal performance of other units resulting in significantly lower conversion
to high value products.  Contributing to the lower refined products sales
margins were the higher crude oil and other petroleum feedstock prices.  The
lower margins for aromatics were primarily due to lower paraxylene sales prices
and higher feedstock costs.  Paraxylene prices declined due to additional
capacity and continued customers' inventory reductions in the polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) and polyester fibers businesses during the second quarter of
1996.

Operating income for the first six months of 1996 was $33 million compared to
$65 million for the first six months of 1995.  The $32 million decrease was
primarily due to lower aromatics and refined products sales margins and to
higher period costs.  Overall, aromatics sales margins were lower in 1996
primarily due to generally lower sales prices, particularly orthoxylene.
Refined products sales margins decreased due to higher crude oil and other
feedstock prices which more than offset higher refined product sales prices.
Refinery period costs were higher due to higher personnel compensation, property
taxes and depreciation, partially offset by lower maintenance expenses.


UNALLOCATED

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES  General and administrative expenses were $2
million lower in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of
1995 and were $3 million lower in the first six months of 1996 compared to the
first six months of 1995.  These decreases were primarily due to a reduced
charge for management incentive compensation related expense and lower
materials, supplies and equipment expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE  Interest expense was $2 million higher during the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995 and $4 million higher
during the first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.
These increases in interest expense resulted primarily from a net increase in
debt outstanding resulting from the issuance of $300 million of long-term notes
and debentures during February 1996, partially offset by the repayment of $150
million of long-term notes in June 1996.

INTEREST INCOME  Interest income decreased $1 million during the second quarter
of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995 and decreased $3 million during
the first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.  This
decrease resulted from lower levels of cash available for investment due in part
to the acquisition of the ALATHON Business effective May 1, 1995.

MINORITY INTEREST IN LYONDELL-CITGO REFINING COMPANY LTD.  Minority interest was
less than one million dollars in the second quarter of 1996 and $4 million in
the first six months of 1996 representing the allocated share of LCR's net
income to CITGO, the minority owner of LCR.

INCOME TAX  The effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 1996 and
during the first six months of 1996 was 35.1 percent and 36.4 percent,
respectively.  The income portion of the state franchise tax was the primary
difference between the effective tax rates and the 35 percent federal statutory
rate.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Lyondell's cash provided by operating activities was $22 million in the first
six months of 1996 compared to cash provided of $187 million during the first
six months of 1995.  This $165 million decrease is attributable to the $223
million decrease in net income, partially offset primarily by changes in working
capital.

Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 1996 consisted
of capital expenditures of $356 million, of which $284 million was for the
Upgrade Project at the Refinery, $19 million was for environmentally related
projects primarily at the Refinery and $53 million was for other projects at the
various petrochemical plants and at the Refinery.  Upgrade Project expenditures
during the first six months of 1996 were funded by $139 million from external
borrowings by LCR, $79 million of contributions by CITGO, the minority owner of
LCR, and $70 million from Lyondell in the form of subordinated loans to LCR.
The $4 million excess of funding for the Upgrade Project over cash expenditures
is held in a restricted cash account.

As of June 30, 1996, $7 million of cash and cash equivalents were restricted for
use in LCR capital projects, including the Upgrade Project, and other
expenditures as determined by the LCR owners.

In February 1996, the Company issued $300 million of debt securities ("Debt
Securities") consisting of $150 million of 6.5 percent notes due 2006 and $150
million of 7.55 percent debentures due 2026.  A portion of the proceeds received
from the sale of the Debt Securities was used to repay short-term debt during
the first quarter of 1996, and the remainder was used for retirement of maturing
long-term debt and general corporate purposes.  The Debt Securities are
unsecured obligations and rank on a parity with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt of the Company.

The Mont Belvieu terminal fire on June 2, 1996 will result in an approximate $15
capital expenditure to replace damaged equipment.  As a result, the Board of
Directors has deferred certain capital expenditures with the overall impact of
increasing the 1996 capital budget by $8 million, to $133 million.

The Company paid regular quarterly dividends of $.225 per share of common stock
during the first and second quarters of 1996.  Additionally, on July 19, 1996
the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.225 per share
of common stock, payable September 15, 1996 to stockholders of record on August
23, 1996.


CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Strong export demand and a strengthening economy provided an improved
environment for olefins and polymers during the first six months of 1996
compared to the latter part of 1995.  This improvement was partially offset by
higher feedstock costs and the olefins unit turnaround.

During the remainder of 1996, management expects olefins supply and demand
fundamentals to be more favorable than in the latter part of 1995 and early 1996
with demand growth exceeding capacity additions and less significant downstream
inventory corrections.  Management believes that if demand growth in 1996 is
sustained at average historic levels, olefins market conditions will continue to
improve.  However, olefins profitability will continue to be negatively impacted
if feedstock costs remain high.

Methanol business conditions returned to more typical levels in the latter part
of 1995 and first six months of 1996 from the very favorable conditions that
existed during the early part of 1995.  Although methanol demand growth is still
good and is expected to increase in 1996, substantial new capacity is expected
in various parts of the world over the next few years.  While the Company
expects its methanol business to remain profitable, it is not likely that
methanol profitability will return in the near-term to the high levels of late
1994 and early 1995.

On July 27, 1996, the Company experienced a fire at its Channelview Facility due
to a rupture in a pipeline owned and operated by ARCO Pipe Line Company ("ARCO
Pipe Line"). Although no operating units were directly involved in the fire, the
damage to the pipeline and electrical systems forced the Company to shut down
the entire Channelview Facility. Although the Company and ARCO Pipe Line are
still evaluating the cost of the damage to their respective facilities, the
Company believes that the physical damage to the two companies' facilities on
Lyondell's plant site could be in the $10 million to $15 million range and that
the potential negative impact on Lyondell's after-tax earnings could be in the
$20 million to $25 million range. Certain of the units at the Channelview
Facility have been brought back into operation and the olefins units are in
startup mode. The Channelview Facility is currently expected to be fully
operational within the next several days. A number of factors, including the
full extent of the damage to all the facilities, the availability of repair
materials and the Company's ability to find alternatives to meet customer needs,
will impact the Company's ability to mitigate the financial impact on the
Company's business. In addition, the estimates contained herein are based on
preliminary information and do not take into account the potential effects of
any insurance coverage or contributions to costs by other parties that may be
available to offset such costs.

During the first six months of 1996, profit performance from refined products
benefited from high processing rates of heavy Venezuelan crude oil.  However,
this improvement was mostly offset by lower margins due to rising feedstock
costs for the approximately 40 percent of crude oil runs not covered by the
Crude Supply Contract.  Aromatics are in a weaker environment entering the third
quarter of 1996 due to lower margins resulting from higher feedstock costs and
continuing sales price decreases for paraxylene.

Management believes that the Company has improved its refining business with the
formation of LCR and the resulting benefits of the Crude Supply Contract and
Products Agreement.  These arrangements are designed to diminish the impact of
market volatility and stabilize cash flows at attractive levels relative to
historic performance.  However, management expects that startups, shutdowns,
revamps and tie-ins to the existing facilities will continue to affect LCR's
operating efficiency and profitability as various units of the Upgrade Project
approach completion during the remainder of 1996 and early 1997.  LCR's near-
term results are expected to reflect a continuing decline in aromatics margins.
Until the Upgrade Project is operational in early 1997, the 40 percent of LCR's
crude oil volume which is not purchased under the Crude Supply Contract
continues to be sensitive to market conditions.  The poor market conditions that
have characterized the Gulf Coast refining business for the past several years
have generally continued in 1996.

Profitability and cash flows for the petrochemical and refining businesses are
affected by industry supply and demand, feedstock cost volatility, capital
expenditures required to meet more stringent environmental standards, repair and
maintenance costs and downtime of production units due to maintenance
turnarounds.  Turnarounds on major units can have significant financial impacts
due to the associated loss of production, resulting in lower profitability.  LCR
plans to perform a turnaround of its fluid catalytic cracking unit in the fourth
quarter of 1996.

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.

                         LYONDELL PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY
               RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS


1.   Purpose.
     --------

     The Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Lyondell
     Petrochemical Company (the "Plan") is intended to provide non-employee
     directors of Lyondell Petrochemical Company (the "Company") with an
     increased propriety interest in the Company's success and progress by
     granting them shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock") that
     are restricted in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below
     ("Restricted  Shares").  The Plan is intended to increase the alignment of
     non-employee directors with the Company's shareholders in terms of both
     risk and reward.

2.   Administration.
     ---------------

     The Plan is to be administered by the Directors Benefit Committee (the
     "Committee") of the Company or any successor committee with responsibility
     for the administration of  compensation and benefit plans for directors.
     The Committee shall have all necessary authority and discretion to
     interpret any provision of this Plan or to determine any question regarding
     grants of Restricted Shares under this Plan.  Any determination or
     interpretations of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on
     all persons.

3.   Eligibility.
     ------------

     All current or subsequently elected members for the Company's  Board of
     Directors and at the time such service began were not, and  for the
     preceding ten years had not been, Executive Officers or  employees of the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries ("Eligible  Directors") shall be
     eligible to participate in the Plan.

4.   Grants.
     -------

     Each year 25 percent of the annual retainer paid to non-employee directors
     shall be made in the form of grants of Restricted Shares to Eligible
     Directors. The number of Restricted Shares granted shall be determined by
     dividing an amount equal to 25 percent of an Eligible Director's annual
     retainer fees by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the
     effective date of the grant. Grants of Restricted Shares to Participants
     shall be on the terms and conditions and with the restrictions determined
     from time to time by the Committee under Section 5 of this Plan.

5.   Terms and Conditions of Restricted Shares.
     ------------------------------------------

     (a) General.  Each grant of Restricted Shares shall be subject to the
     restrictions under subsection (c) for the Restricted Period of the grant.
<PAGE>
 
     (b)  Restricted Period.  The Restricted Period shall begin on the date of
          the grant.  The Restricted Period for a grant shall be at least one
          year, and shall be set by the Committee and described in the
          individual granting agreement to be executed by the Company and each
          non-employee director.

     (c)  Restrictions.  One or more of these restrictions shall be a
          restriction which constitutes a substantial risk of forfeiture.  An
          Eligible Director shall have all ownership rights and  privileges of a
          shareholder as to such Restricted Shares, including the right to
          receive  dividends and the right to vote such Restricted Shares,
          except that the following restrictions shall apply:  (i) an Eligible
          Director shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate until
          the expiration of the Restricted Period, (ii) none of the Restricted
          Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise
          encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period, and (iii)
          except as provided in subsection 4(d), all grants of the Restricted
          Shares shall be forfeited and all rights of an Eligible Director to
          such Restricted Shares shall terminate without further obligation on
          the part of the Company if the Eligible Director fails to satisfy the
          terms of the grant of Restricted Shares.
  
          During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares may be held on an
     uncertificated basis or a stock certificate representing the number of
     Restricted Shares granted may be registered in each Eligible Director name
     but held in custody by the Plan for the Eligible Director account and not
     released to the Eligible Director until the Restricted Period lapses.

      (d) Termination of Directorship.
          ----------------------------

          If an Eligible Director ceased to be a director of the Company by
     reason to Disability, Death, Retirement or Change of Control, the
     Restricted Shares granted to such Eligible Director shall immediately vest.
     If an Eligible Director ceases to be a director of the Company for any
     other reason, the Eligible Director shall immediately forfeit all
     Restricted Shares, except to the extent that a majority of the Board other
     than the Eligible Director approves the vesting of such Restricted Shares.
     Upon vesting, except as provided in Section 6, all restrictions applicable
     to such Restricted Shares shall lapse and a certificate for such shares
     shall be delivered to the Eligible Director, or the Eligible Director's
     beneficiary or estate, in accordance with Section 5(e).

          For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

          (i) "Disability" shall mean a permanent and total disability as
          defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

          (ii) "Retirement" shall mean ceasing to be a director of the Company
          (i) on or after age 72 or (ii) at any time prior to age 72 with the
          consent of a majority of the members of the Board other than the
          Eligible Director.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
          (iii)  "Change of Control" shall mean a change of control as defined
          in the Company's Supplemental Executive Benefit Plans Trust Agreement.

     (e) Delivery of Restricted Shares.  At the end of the Restricted Period a
     stock of  certificate for the number of Restricted Shares which have vested
     shall be  delivered free of all such restrictions to the Eligible Director
     or the Eligible Director's beneficiary or estate, as the  case may be.

6.   Regulatory Compliance.
     ----------------------

     An Eligible Director or an Eligible Director's beneficiary or estate shall
     not receive or sell any Common Stock granted pursuant to this Plan until
     all appropriate listing, registration and qualification requirements and
     consents and approvals have been satisfied or obtained, free of any
     condition  unacceptable to the Board of Directors.

     The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the
     restrictions on the Restricted Shares, including restrictions under the
     Restricted Period, whenever it determines that such action is appropriate
     as a result of changes in applicable laws or other circumstances after the
     date of the grant.

7.   Shares Reserved Under the Plan
     -------------------------------

     The shares of Common Stock covered by grants under this Plan as Restricted
     Shares will not exceed 100,000 shares in the aggregate, subject to
     adjustment as provided below, and in accordance with and subject to Rule
     16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, ("Exchange Act") as
     amended.  Restricted Shares may be originally issued or treasury shares or
     a combination of both.
 
     Any shares of Common Stock granted as Restricted Shares that are
     terminated, forfeited or surrendered or which expire for any reason will
     not be available again for issuance under this Plan, if any Eligible
     Director received any of the benefits of ownership of those shares prior to
     termination, forfeiture or surrender.
 
     In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
     combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
     separation, reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the
     Company's corporate structure or shares, the Committee may make such
     equitable adjustments in the number and class of shares authorized to be
     granted as Restricted Shares, as it deems appropriate to prevent dilution
     or enlargement of rights. Shares issued as a consequence of any such change
     shall be issued subject to the same restrictions and provisions applicable
     to the original grant of Restricted Shares.

8.   Termination or Amendment of the Plan.
     -------------------------------------

     The Committee may at any time terminate the Plan and may from time to time
     alter or amend the Plan or any part hereof (including any amendment deemed
     necessary to ensure that the

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Section
     6) without shareholder approval, unless otherwise required by law or by the
     rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or New York Stock Exchange.
     No termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of an
     Eligible Director, impair the rights of such director with respect to
     shares of Common Stock granted under the Plan.

9.   Miscellaneous.
     --------------
 
     (a)  Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to create any obligation on the
          part of the Board to nominate any director for reelection by the
          Company's shareholders.

     (b)  The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or
          delivery of any Restricted Shares, payment by an Eligible Director of
          any taxes required by law with respect to the issuance or delivery of
          such shares, or the lapse of restrictions thereon.

10.  Governing Law.
     --------------

     The Plan shall be construed according to the law of the State of Texas to
     the extent federal law does not supersede and preempt state law.

11.  Effective Date.
     ---------------

     The Plan shall become effective as of June 1, 1996, or such later date as
     may be fixed by the Committee.
