   To the Board of Directors of Amoco Corporation

   In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial position and  the
   related statement of income, expenses, and changes in plan equity present
   fairly, in  all material respects,  the financial position  of the  Amoco
   Foam  Products Company  Chippewa Falls  Hourly Employee  Savings  Plan at
   December 31, 1993, and the results of  its operations and the changes  in
   its plan equity for the  year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are
   the  responsibility  of Amoco  Foam  Products  Company's  management; our
   responsibility is  to express an  opinion on  these financial  statements
   based  on  our audit.   We  conducted  our audit  of these  statements in
   accordance with generally accepted  auditing standards which 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,  assessing  the
   accounting principles used and  significant estimates made by management,
   and evaluating the overall financial  statement presentation.  We believe
   that  our audit  provides a  reasonable basis  for the  opinion expressed
   above.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.   Description of the Plan: 

        Amoco Foam  Products Company  (the "Company") established  the Amoco
   Foam Products  Company Chippewa Falls  Hourly Employee  Savings Plan (the
   "Plan") effective  January  1, 1993.   The  purpose  of the  Plan  is  to
   encourage eligible employees to regularly save part of their earnings and
   to assist them in accumulating additional security for their  retirement.
   The  Plan provides that  both employee and Company  contributions will be
   held   in  a  trust  by  an  independent   trustee  for  the  benefit  of
   participating employees.  Norwest Bank Wisconsin, N.A. is the trustee  of
   the Plan  (the "Trustee").  The  Company reserves the  right to  amend or
   terminate the Plan at any time.
   The Plan was not amended during 1993.

        Under the  Plan, participating employees  can invest a  total of  13
   percent  of pre-tax and/or  after-tax earnings, but only  the first three
   percent will be matched by the Company at a rate  of $.50 for every $1.00
   contributed  by the  employee.   Company contributions  are automatically
   invested in the same way as participants' contributions are invested.

        There  were 223  participants  in  the Plan  at December  31,  1993.
   Participants are fully vested in their contributed accounts.  Vesting  in
   Company  contribution accounts  is  dependent upon  specific  criteria as
   described in the Plan document.   

        Trustee fees, brokerage commissions,  and other transaction fees and
   expenses related  to the  Amoco Stock  Fund, the Equity  Fund, the  Money
   Market  Fund, and  the Balanced  Fund  are paid  out of  those respective
   funds.  As a result, the returns on those investments are net of the fees
   and expenses of the managers  of those funds and certain  other brokerage
   commissions and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with those
   investment elections.  Administrative fees for the current plan year were
   paid  by the Company, but  may be charged to  the Plan in future years at
   the discretion of Company management  and in accordance with the terms of
   the Plan.

        The  contributions are  invested in  up to  four savings  options as
   determined by individual employees.  The employee can direct the  Trustee
   to invest in  the following options: Amoco Stock Fund; Equity Fund; Money
   Market Fund; and Balanced Fund.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


   Amoco Stock Fund

        Amoco  Stock  Fund's primary  investment  objective  is  to purchase
   shares  of Amoco  Corporation  common  stock, which  have no  par  value.
   Amounts not invested  in Amoco Corporation stock are  held as cash or are
   used  to   purchase  short-term  investments  or   invest  in  short-term
   investment funds of the Trustee.  Dividend payments on Amoco  Corporation
   common stock held in the  Amoco Stock Fund are used primarily to purchase
   additional shares of  Amoco Corporation common stock or  to meet the cash
   demands of the Amoco Stock Fund.

        The  percentage of  assets of  the Amoco  Stock Fund  in investments
   other  than Amoco Corporation common stock  under normal circumstances is
   less than 5 percent.  However, this figure may change as transactions are
   made  and may  be substantially  higher or  lower at  a given  time.   On
   December 31, 1993,  the percentage  of investments  in Amoco  Corporation
   common stock was 91.1 percent.  

        Shares of  common stock  held in  the fund  and dividends and  other
   distributions  on   common  stock  are  not   specifically  allocated  to
   participant  accounts.   Instead,  each participant's  investment  in the
   Amoco Stock Fund is based on the proportion of his investment in the fund
   to all Plan participants.  The manager of the Amoco Stock Fund is Norwest
   Bank Wisconsin, N.A.

   Equity Fund

        Amounts invested in the Equity Fund are placed in the  Norwest Index
   Stock  Fund, which is managed by Norwest Investment Management.  The goal
   of the fund is to create  a portfolio of stocks which will  duplicate the
   Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500  Index return with minimum deviations.  The
   portfolio  strategy provides for the purchase of stocks representing over
   98  percent of the pro rata weighted market  values of the S&P 500 Index.
   As of year end December 31, 1993, the Equity  Fund represented 96 percent
   of the pro rata weighted market values of the S&P 500 Index.  In order to
   reduce   costs,   transactions   are   made   only   to   reproduce   the
   composition of  the index,  to  invest cash  received from  dividends  or
   buyouts  and  to  invest  additions  to  the  fund  and  raise  cash  for
   withdrawals.  

   The Money Market Fund

        Amounts invested in the Money Market Fund are used to purchase units
   of the Norwest Short-Term Investment Fund.  Assets of  the Norwest Short-
   Term Investment  Fund are held  in cash or  other short-term  securities,

                                       7.<PAGE>

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

   bonds, notes, shares  of money market mutual funds, domestic  and foreign
   bank deposits,  bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements,  and floating
   rates or put issues.  The portfolio guidelines state that no more than 20
   percent of  the fund will be  held in instruments maturing in  91 days or
   more.  For added  liquidity, at least 20 percent of  the fund must mature
   or become available on demand each day.

        The  manager of  the fund,  Norwest Investment  Management, has  the
   responsibility of  purchasing the  selection of securities for  the fund.
   The manager's  goal is  to select a  portfolio of  maturities which  will
   offer a return higher than U.S. Treasury bills.

   Balanced Fund

        Amounts invested in the Balanced Fund are used to  purchase units of
   the Norwest  Growth Balanced Fund.  The goal of  the Balanced Fund  is to
   provide the investor with capital appreciation through quality stocks and
   to  moderate risk  by holding  intermediate maturity  bonds.   The fund's
   strategic allocation is 65 percent invested in stocks and 35 percent held
   in bonds.   The asset manager, Norwest Investment Management,  can change
   these holdings  by as much  as 15  percentage points in  order to improve
   investor returns.

        The  equity  portion  of  the  fund  emphasizes  long  term  capital
   appreciation  while  attempting  to  minimize  return volatility.    Five
   distinct equity styles, managed by Norwest Investment Management, Norwest
   Capital Management,  Peregrine Capital  Management, and  Schroder Capital
   Management,  are used to  insure that the portfolio  is well diversified.
   In  addition, no  single stock  can compose  more than  6 percent  of the
   portfolio.

        The second component  of the fund is intermediate bonds.   Peregrine
   Capital Management operates this portion of the fund and seeks to offer a
   return  greater  than the  Shearson  Lehman  Intermediate  Government and
   Corporate Bond Index.

   2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

        All investments of the funds are stated  at fair value as determined
   by  quoted market prices.  Realized gains  and losses are recognized upon
   the  disposition  of  investments by  comparing  the proceeds,  or market
   value, to the average cost, (see Note 4).

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

        The  aggregate  of  income  realized  from sales,  redemptions,  and
   distributions of securities in participants'  accounts for the year ended
   December 31, 1993, was as follows:

                                                      Average       Gains   
                                        Proceeds        Cost        Realized

   Equity Fund                        $    3,500    $    3,403    $      97 
   Balanced Fund                           1,818         1,726           92 
     Total                            $    5,318    $    5,129    $     189 

        Average cost is calculated as the weighted average of the fair value
   of the  disposed securities at  the beginning of the  year or acquisition
   cost if acquired during the year.

   5.   Taxes:

        The Company believes that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of
   the Internal Revenue Code  of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and  that the
   related Trust is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of
   the Code.  The Company intends  during 1994 to request a ruling  from the
   Internal Revenue  Service that the Plan  and Trust, as amended  as of the
   date of  such request, qualify  under Sections  401(a) and 501(a) of  the
   Code, respectively.  The Company reserves the right to make any amendment
   necessary to maintain the qualification of the Plan and Trust.

        Under  present  Federal  income  tax laws,  it  is  expected that  a
   participant will not be subject to income taxes on amounts contributed by
   the Company or on income accrued to the participant account until part or
   all of the  participant account is  withdrawn or distributed.   Gains and
   losses  on the sale of  securities within  a participant account  are not
   reportable for income tax purposes unless withdrawn.

   6.   Unrealized Appreciation on Investments:

        Unrealized  appreciation  on   investments  at  December  31,  1993,
   amounted to  $8,986 and has been  reflected in  the statement of  income,
   expenses, and changes in plan equity for the period.

   7.   Withdrawals and Forfeitures:

        Distributions to  participants are reported  at market  value at the
   date  of distribution.  For the year ended December 31, 1993, the balance
   of  participants' accounts  withdrawn totaled  $1,008.   Disbursements in
   cash in  settlement of such accounts  amounted to $1,008.   There were no
   forfeitures during the period.
