UCAR CARBON SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the UCAR Carbon Savings Plan (herein
referred to as the "Plan") is provided for general information only.
Participants should refer to the plan document for more complete
information.
GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan consisting of several separate
investment funds as described below.
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is administered by the Savings Plan Administrative Committee.
PARTICIPATION
The Plan is available to all regular employees of UCAR Carbon Company
Inc. and participating affiliate companies (collectively, the "Company").
CONTRIBUTIONS
Participating employees can contribute 1% to 7.5% of their compensation
into the Plan as basic contributions. An additional 0.5% to 10% of
employee compensation may be contributed as supplemental contributions.
Employee contributions are subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code
limitations.
The Company contributes on behalf of each participating employee an
amount equal to 30% of the employee's basic contributions.
VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Participants are immediately vested in 100% of their account balance
(including employer contributions plus actual earnings thereon).
Withdrawals from the 401(k) plans can be made for financial hardship,
after age 59 1/2, retirement or other termination of employment or may be
deferred under the terms of the Plan. Other savings plan withdrawals are
subject to conditions stated in the Plan.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Participants' accounts are credited with participant contributions,
contributions from the Company and an allocation of investment income
from the Plan. The allocations of investment income are based upon
participants' account balances.
5
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Plan permits participants to borrow money from their accounts. A
minimum account balance of $2,000 is required to qualify for a loan. The
minimum loan is $ 1,000 and the maximum loan is 50% of a participants'
account balance up to a maximum loan of $50,000. Participants are
required to repay the loan plus a fixed interest rate based on current
lending rates. Interest is added to the participant's account.
TRUSTEE AND RECORDKEEPER
Effective December 31, 1997, the Plan changed its trustee from State
Street Bank and Trust Company to Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company and its
recordkeeper from William M. Mercer Inc. to The Vanguard Group. In
conjunction with the change, participant assets were transferred and
automatically invested in some of the Plan's new investment options. The
new investment options are discussed below under Investment Programs.
INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
Participants may invest their basic and supplemental contributions in one
percentage point increments in any or all of the following funds:
EQUITY GROWTH FUND - This fund invested in the Fidelity Magellan
Fund during 1996 and 1997. The Fidelity Magellan Fund invests
primarily in common stocks spread across many sectors of the
market, with above average growth potential and a correspondingly
higher level of risk. Upon the change in trustee, this fund's
balance was transferred to The Vanguard Windsor II Equity Income
and Growth Fund.
EQUITY INCOME FUND - This fund invested in a Fidelity Equity
Income Fund during 1996 and 1997. It aimed for a yield better than
the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (the "S&P 500
Index"). Upon the change in trustee, this fund's balance was
transferred to The Vanguard Windsor II Equity Income and Growth
Fund.
WINDSOR II (EQUITY INCOME AND GROWTH) FUND - This fund invests in
the common stock of a diversified group of large companies
striving for long term growth of capital and income from
dividends. This fund option replaced the Equity Growth and Equity
Income funds upon the change in trustee.
EQUITY INDEXED FUND - This fund mirrored the S&P 500 Index and was
managed by State Street Global Advisors, the institutional
investment management affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust
Company . This fund invested in the State Street Global Advisors'
Domestic Index Fund during 1996 and 1997. Upon the change in
trustee, this fund balance was transferred to the Vanguard Index
Trust-500 Fund.
INDEX TRUST-500 FUND - This fund attempts to mirror S&P 500
Composite Stock Price Index. Upon the change in trustee, it
replaced the Equity Indexed Fund.
BALANCED FUND - This fund sought a high level, long-term rate of
return while being cautious about investment risk. The fund was
managed by State Street Global Advisors. It invested
6
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
50% in stocks of the S&P 500 Index and 50% in bonds that
correspond to those in the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. This fund
invested in the State Street Global Advisors' Domestic Index and
Daily Bond Market Funds during 1996 and 1997. This fund's balance
was transferred to the Vanguard Life Strategy Conservative Growth
Fund upon the change in trustee.
CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND - This fund seeks a high level of income
and moderate long term growth of capital and income by investing
in stocks, bonds and short term investments. Upon the change in
trustee, this fund option replaced the Balanced Fund.
UCAR STOCK FUND AND UCAR DISCOUNTED STOCK FUND - The UCAR Stock
Fund invests primarily in common stock of UCAR International Inc.
(herein referred to as "UCAR Stock"). The UCAR Discounted Stock
Fund purchases UCAR Stock at 90% of market price. Because the
stock is discounted, certain restrictions apply. The restrictions
include the following:
- Only the employee contributions and the Company's matching
contributions may be used to invest in this fund.
- Any units purchased must remain in the fund for at least
twelve months.
- Supplemental deposits or loan repayments may not be invested
in this fund.
This fund option was carried over to the new trustee.
UCAR stock is publicly traded and had a readily ascertainable
market value of $39.94 per share at December 31, 1997. At June 19,
1998, the closing price of UCAR stock was $29.75.
FIXED INCOME FUND - This fund mainly invests in fixed income
contracts with highly rated insurance companies. Upon the change
in trustee, these contracts were transferred to the UCAR Stable
Value Fund.
UCAR STABLE VALUE FUND - This fund option replaced the Fixed
Income Fund upon the change in trustee. The Stable Value Fund will
continue to hold the fixed income contracts with the insurance
companies held by the Fixed Income Fund upon transition. As those
contracts expire and new monies are received, the funds will be
invested in the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust. This is a
collective, commingled trust that aims for a high level of income
while maintaining the initial investment. The trust will offer a
low risk, fixed income investment option.
In addition to the preceding funds, two other funds from earlier plans
still exist (the Union Carbide ("UCC") Stock Fund and the Praxair Stock
Fund). Participants may no longer invest their contributions in these
funds. Dividends from both the Union Carbide Stock Fund and the Praxair
Stock Fund are automatically reinvested in the Stable Value Fund.
Participants cannot elect to invest any future contributions in either
stock fund. These funds investments were transferred to the new trustee.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are reported at market value, based upon quoted market
prices, except for a portion of the Stable Value Fund. Stable Value Fund
investments consist primarily of investment contracts with insurance
companies which are carried at contract value since they are fully
benefit-responsive (see note 7). Unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of investments is recognized currently in the financial statements.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
on the ex-dividend date.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to net assets
and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
(3) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
On December 7, 1995, the Plan secured a favorable determination as a
qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC),
and that the trust created under the Plan is exempt from Federal income
tax under Section 501(a) of the IRC. This determination letter was
applicable for amendments adopted on March 17, 1995. The Plan has been
amended since March 17, 1995. However, the Plan administrator believes
that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance
with the applicable provisions of the IRC.
(4) EXPENSES
All costs and expenses, including transfer taxes and brokerage
commissions incurred in connection with the sale of stock of Union
Carbide or Praxair shall be deducted from the proceeds of such sale.
Similar costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale or
purchase of stock in the UCAR Stock Fund or UCAR Discounted Stock Fund
are charged to the applicable fund. Fees of the Fixed Income Fund
investment advisors are paid by the Plan. For the year ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, the Company paid all costs of administration and bore the
expenses of collecting and distributing amounts from and to the
participants and of keeping the records of the Plan.
(5) PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves
the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan. In the event
of Plan termination, participants would receive the full value of their
accounts.

UCAR CARBON SAVINGS PLAN
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Plan Administrator of the UCAR Carbon Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the UCAR Carbon Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules I, II and III
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
