                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


   To the Board of Directors of Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company

   In  our opinion,  the accompanying statement of  financial position (with
   fund  information) and  the  related statement  of income,  expenses, and
   changes in  plan equity (with  fund information) present  fairly, in  all
   material respects, the financial position of the Amoco Fabrics and Fibers
   Company 401(K) Savings Plan at December 31, 1994, and  the results of its
   operations and the changes in  its plan equity for the year in conformity
   with  generally  accepted   accounting  principles.     These   financial
   statements are the  responsibility of Amoco Fabrics  and Fibers 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. 

   Our audits  were performed for the  purpose of forming an  opinion on the
   basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The fund information in the
   statement of financial position (with fund information) and  statement of
   income, expenses, and  changes in plan equity (with fund  information) is
   presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present  the
   financial position and the income, expenses and changes in plan equity of
   each fund.   The  fund information  has been  subjected  to the  auditing
   procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements,  and,
   in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material  respects in relation to
   the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                               401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
                   __________________________________________

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.   Description of the Plan: 

        Amoco  Fabrics and  Fibers Company  (the "Company")  established the
   Amoco  Fabrics  and  Fibers  Company  401(K)  Savings Plan  (the  "Plan")
   effective  January 1,  1994.   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.  Bankers Trust New York Corporation 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 1994.

        Under the  Plan, participating employees  can invest a  total of  13
   percent of pre-tax earnings.   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 initially  invested in  the Amoco
   Stock Fund.

        There  were 3,380  participants in  the Plan  at December  31, 1994.
   Participants are fully vested in their contributed accounts.  Vesting  in
   Company  contribution accounts  is  dependent upon  specific  criteria as
   described in the Plan document.  Forfeited Company contributions are used
   to offset administrative expenses. 

        Trustee fees, brokerage commissions,  and other transaction fees and
   expenses related  to the  Amoco Stock  Fund, the Equity  Index Fund,  the
   Money Market Fund and  the Balanced Fund are generally 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.  During 1994, the trustee  fees related
   to  the  Amoco  Stock Fund  were  paid  by the  Company.   Administrative
   expenses for  1994 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 participants.   The participant can direct  the Trustee to
   invest  in one or more of the following options: Amoco Stock Fund; Equity
   Index 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.   Dividends paid  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,  1994, the percentage  of investments  in Amoco  Corporation
   common stock was 93 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  or her investment in
   the fund  to all Plan participants.   Participants' balances in  the fund
   are denominated  in "units."   At December  31, 1994,  there were 283,146
   units in the fund at a unit value of $11.10.  The Directed Trustee of the
   Amoco Stock Fund is Bankers Trust New York Corporation.

   Equity Index Fund

        Amounts invested in the Equity  Index Fund are placed in the Bankers
   Trust Pyramid Funds, which  are managed  by Bankers Trust  Company.   The
   goal of the fund is to create a portfolio of  stocks which will track the
   Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index return with minimum deviations.   The
   portfolio strategy provides for the purchase of  stocks representing over
   95-97  percent of  the pro  rata weighted  market values  of the  S&P 500
   Index.   As of  December  31, 1994, the Equity  Index Fund represented 97
   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,  to  invest  additions  to  the  fund  and  to  raise  cash  for
   withdrawals.  At December  31, 1994 there were 89,826 shares in  the fund
   at a net asset value of $10.36.

   Money Market Fund

        The  investment objective of  the fund is to  provide higher returns
   than  typical  money  market  funds  provide  while  preserving  capital.
   Amounts invested in the  Money Market Fund are used to purchase  units of
   the BT Cash Management Fund.   Assets of the fund are  held in cash or in
   high quality short term securities, including commercial paper, corporate
   notes  and bonds,  banking securities, United States  Treasury and Agency
   securities,    collateralized    repurchase   agreements,    asset-backed
   securities,  and  foreign  currency-denominated  debt  securities.    The
   portfolio guidelines state that all investments must meet the fund's high
   credit standards, carrying  ratings of A1/P1 or higher.   The portfolio's
   average maturity is maintained  at 120 days or less.   The manager of the
   fund, Bankers  Trust Company,  has the  responsibility of  purchasing the
   selection of securities for the fund.  

   Balanced Fund

        Amounts invested in the Balanced  Fund are used to purchase units of
   the  Bankers Trust  Pyramid  Asset Management  Fund.    The goal  of  the
   Balanced  Fund is  to provide the  investor with  above-average long-term
   returns  while  minimizing  downside  risk  through an  actively  managed
   portfolio of equity securities, bonds, and money market instruments using
   targeted portfolio weights and asset policy ranges.  The fund's strategic
   investment  allocation is  55 percent  stocks, 35  percent bonds,  and 10
   percent  money market  instruments. The asset policy  ranges identify the
   limits  within  which  the  investment  manager, Bankers  Trust  Company,
   determines  the actual  portfolio proportions.    These ranges  are 40-70
   percent  for stocks, 25-55 percent for  bonds, and 0-25 percent for money
   market instruments.   At December  31, 1994 there were  108,100 shares in
   the fund at a net asset value of $9.41.

   cost (see Note 5).

   4.   Participant Loans:

        Participants are eligible to borrow  from their account balances  in
   the  Plan.  Loans  are made  in the form  of cash and the  amount may not
   exceed the lesser of  50 percent of the market value  of the total vested
   accounts or $50,000 less the highest loan balance outstanding during  the
   preceding twelve months.  The participant must execute a promissory  note
   to take out  a loan and the  maximum time period for  a loan repayment is
   fifty-four months.  Interest rates are fixed for the duration of the loan
   and charged  on the  unpaid balance.   The interest rate  charged is  the
   prime rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the next to the last
   business day of the month preceding the month the participant applies for
   the  loan.  Repayment of loan principal and interest is generally made by
   payroll deductions and credited to the participant's accounts.

   5.   Sales, Redemptions and Distributions of Securities:

        The  aggregate  of  income  realized  from  sales,  redemptions  and
   distributions of securities in  participants' accounts for the year ended
   December 31, 1994 was as follows:

                                                      Average   Gains/Losses
                                      Proceeds        Cost        Realized  
                                             (thousands of dollars)
                                            
   Amoco Stock Fund                   $    2,624    $    2,623    $       1 
   Equity Index Fund                         941           940            1 
   Balanced Fund                           1,079         1,080           (1)
     Total                            $    4,644    $    4,643    $       1 

        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.

   6.   Taxes:

        The  Company and the  Trustee believe 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.  On December 14, 1994 the Company filed
   for 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

        Under current  Federal tax law,  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's account until part  or all of
   the participant's account is withdrawn or distributed.  Gains and  losses
   on  the  sale  of securities  within  a  participant's  account  are  not
   reportable for income tax purposes unless withdrawn.

   7.   Unrealized Appreciation on Investments:

        Unrealized appreciation  on investments  held at December  31, 1994,
   expressed in thousands of dollars, amounted to $67 and has been reflected
   in the statement of income, expenses, and changes in  plan equity for the
   period.

   8.   Withdrawals and Forfeitures:

        Distributions to  participants are reported  at market  value at the
   date of distribution.  For the year ended December  31, 1994, the balance
   of participants'  accounts withdrawn, expressed in  thousands of dollars,
   totaled  $122.  Disbursements in cash or securities in settlement of such
   accounts  amounted to $112.  The  difference of $10 represented the total
   amount of Company contributions forfeited during that period.
