                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


   To the Board of Directors of Amoco Foam Products 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  Foam Products
   Company Chippewa Falls Hourly Employee Savings Plan at December 31,  1994
   and 1993, and the  results of its operations and the changes  in its plan
   equity for the year ended December 31, 1994, 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. 

   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.

                          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, pursuant  to a  collective bargaining
   agreement.  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 are 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 1994.

        Under the  Plan, participating employees  can invest a  total of  13
   percent  of pre-tax and/or  after-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 automatically
   invested in the same way as participants' contributions are invested.

        There  were 223  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 decrease the Company contributions.

        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 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.   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
   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.  Amounts not  invested in Amoco
   Corporation stock  are held  as cash or are  used to  purchase short-term
   investments  including  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 98.5 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.  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,  a  mutual fund  managed  by  Norwest  Investment  Management
   ("Norwest"),  a part of Norwest Bank Minnesota N.A.  The goal of the fund
   is  to create a portfolio of stocks that duplicates 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 December 31,
   1994, 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, to  invest additions to
   the fund and to raise cash for  withdrawals.  At December 31, 1994, there
   were 7,866 units in the fund at a unit value of $21.62.

   Money Market Fund

        Amounts invested in the Money Market Fund are used to purchase units
   of the Norwest Short-Term Investment Fund, a bank collective fund managed
   by Norwest.   The manager's goal  is to select a  portfolio of maturities
   that offers a  return higher than  U.S. Treasury  bills.   Assets of  the
   Norwest Short-Term  Investment  Fund  are  held  in  cash  or  short-term
   securities, bonds,  notes, shares of money market  mutual funds, domestic

                                       7.<PAGE>

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

   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 fund manager is
   responsible for purchasing the selection of securities for the fund.  

   Balanced Fund

        Amounts invested in the Balanced Fund are used to purchase shares of
   the Norwest  Growth Balanced Fund.  The  goal of the Balanced  Fund is to
   provide  the investor  with capital  appreciation through  quality equity
   securities and  to moderate risk by holding  intermediate maturity bonds.
   The  fund's strategic  asset allocation  goal is  65 percent  invested in
   equity  securities  and  35  percent invested  in  bonds.   The  adviser,
   Norwest, can change the allocation by as much as 15 percentage points.

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

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

        At December 31, 1994, there were 17,525 shares in the fund at a share
   value of $17.86.

   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).

   4.   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       Losses
                                     Proceeds        Cost       Realized 
   Amoco Stock Fund                $   51,755    $   51,779   $     (24)
   Equity Fund                         93,480        93,567         (87)
   Balanced Fund                      162,902       162,905          (3)
     Total                         $  308,137    $  308,251   $    (114)

        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 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.   The Company did not  amend the Plan
   during 1994 but reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan
   at  any time in  accordance with the Employee  Retirement Income Security
   Act  of 1974 ("ERISA").  The Company  also reserves the right to make any
   amendment necessary to maintain the qualification of the Plan and Trust.

        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.

   6.   Unrealized Appreciation on Investments:

        Unrealized  appreciation  on  investments  at  December  31,   1994,
   amounted to $10,335  and has been reflected  in the statement  of income,
   expenses,  and changes  in plan  equity (with  fund information)  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, 1994, the balance
   of  participants' accounts  withdrawn totaled  $6,718.   Disbursements in
   cash in settlement of  such accounts amounted to $6,672.   The difference
   of $46  represented  the total  amount  of  the  Company's  contributions
   forfeited during the period.
