                                                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Plan Administrator
Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan (Plan) as
of December 31, 1996 and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year then ended.  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 audit.  The statement of net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995
were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 31, 1996 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

We conducted our audit 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 audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1996 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, 1996, and the changes in its net
assets available for plan benefits for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
1996 financial statements taken as a whole.  Financial statements as of
December 31, 1995 and for the year then ended were audited by other
auditors.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of Assets Held for
Investment Purposes at December 31, 1996 and Reportable Transactions for
the Year Ended December 31, 1996 are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The Fund
Information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and
the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the
net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available
for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information, except for the Fund Information pertaining to the year ended
December 31, 1995 on which other auditors expressed an unqualified opinion,
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
basic 1996 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic 1996 financial statements
taken as a whole.

                  SUN COMPANY, INC. CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION
        -------------------

        The Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan (Plan) is a combined
        profit-sharing and employee stock ownership plan.  The Plan provides
        eligibility for membership for certain employees of Sun Company, Inc.
        and its participating subsidiary companies (collectively, Sun) who are
        paid in U.S. dollars and who have completed at least 1,000 hours of
        service with Sun in a twelve-month period.  An eligible employee can
        join the Plan at any time starting with the first payroll period which
        begins on or next following 30 days after he or she gives written
        notice to the Plan Administrator.  The ESOP Fund is an employee stock
        ownership plan, while the remaining funds form a profit-sharing plan. 

        The Plan provides an individual account for each participant.  Amounts
        disbursed to participants or transferred among funds are based solely
        upon amounts contributed to each participant's account adjusted to
        reflect any withdrawals and distributions, investment earnings
        attributable to such account balances, and appreciation or
        depreciation of the market value of the account balance.

        Contributions:
        -------------

        In general, a participant may make Basic Contributions to the Plan of
        up to 5% in whole percentages of base pay on a pre-tax basis (Basic
        Pre-Tax Contributions) or on a post-tax basis (Basic Post-Tax
        Contributions).  The participant also may elect to make additional
        contributions up to 10% of base pay provided, however, that Basic Pre-
        Tax or Basic Post-Tax Contributions are at least 5% of base pay.  The
        additional 10% may be contributed either on a pre-tax basis
        (Additional Pre-Tax Contributions), post-tax basis (Additional Post-
        Tax Contributions) or any combination thereof.  For certain
        participants, limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of
        1986, as amended (Code), as described below, restrict their ability to
        make Basic Pre-Tax Contributions or Additional Pre-Tax Contributions. 
        However, such participants may make Basic Post-Tax Contributions and
        Additional Post-Tax Contributions such that the sum of their total and
        employer contributions do not exceed other limits imposed by the Plan
        or the Code.

        For every dollar a participant contributes as Basic Contributions, Sun
        contributes another full dollar (Matching Employer Contributions).  

        Pre-tax contributions by each participant may not exceed an annual
        limit which is subject to annual upward adjustment for increases in
        the cost of living as determined under Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
        regulations.  This limit was $9,500 for 1996 and $9,240 for 1995.

1.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
        ------------------------------

        The pre-tax contributions and combined Basic Post-Tax Contributions,
        Additional Post-Tax Contributions and Matching Employer Contributions
        of participants who come within the classification of "highly
        compensated employees" as defined in the Code, may not exceed certain
        technical limits under the Code.  Generally, the allowable percentage
        of such contributions for the highly compensated employees is
        dependent upon the percentage of contributions made by all other
        employees.  These limitations may have the effect of reducing the
        level of contributions initially selected by the highly compensated
        employees.  In addition, the total employer and employee contributions
        which may be allocated to a participant's account may be limited by
        Section 415 of the Code.

        The Plan contains a special provision designed to permit the Plan to
        borrow money to purchase a significant number of shares of Sun Common
        Stock.  Such borrowing could only occur upon the action of the Board
        of Directors of Sun Company, Inc.  If this should occur, the
        securities purchased with the proceeds of such a loan will not be
        allocated immediately to the accounts of Plan participants but will be
        held by the Plan in an unallocated suspense account.  Securities will
        be released from the suspense account as the loan is repaid and will
        be allocated to participants' accounts according to the ratio which
        the participant's compensation bears to the compensation of all
        participants in the Plan.  No participant contributions will be
        required or permitted in paying off the loan.  Further, subject to
        applicable limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code and
        limitations on allocations as set forth in the Plan, any securities
        which are allocated to participants' accounts as a result of the
        repayment of the loan may, in the discretion of the Plan
        Administrator, be used to satisfy Sun's obligation with respect to any
        Matching Employer Contributions.  As of December 31, 1996, no
        borrowings had been approved.

        At the end of each month, a participant's account is credited with
        units representing interests held in each of the funds described
        below.  A participant's account balance is immediately 100% vested.

        Investment of Employees' Contributions:
        --------------------------------------

        Bankers Trust Company is the Trustee for investments.  The participant
        has the option of investing contributions in any one or more of six
        funds:  the Equity Index Fund; the U.S. Extended Market Equity Fund;
        the International Fund; the Diversified Investments Fund; the Capital
        Preservation Fund; or, the Sun Common Stock Fund.  Participants'
        accounts earn a blended rate, or weighted average, of all of the
        investments held in the respective funds.  These funds and the ESOP
        Fund are currently invested in corresponding funds with the same
        investment objectives in the Sun Company, Inc. Defined Contribution

        investments from other Sun tax-qualified defined contribution plans. 
        Each plan's relative interest in the individual Master Trust funds and
        the related income and administrative expense is determined on a basis
        proportionate to each plan's past contributions adjusted to reflect
        distributions, transfers and prior investment earnings to such funds.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


1.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
        ------------------------------

        The Plan's relative interest in the standard investment contracts
        with insurance companies or other financial institutions described
        above represents the maximum potential credit losses from
        concentrations of credit risk in the Capital Preservation Fund in
        accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial
        Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments
        with Concentrations of Credit Risk" (SFAS No. 105).  SFAS No. 105
        requires that such potential credit losses be determined assuming
        (1) complete nonperformance by the counterparties to the
        transactions and (2) any related collateral has no value.  There is
        no collateral associated with the standard investment contracts in
        the Capital Preservation Fund.  Plan management believes that
        future credit losses of the Plan's investment in the Capital
        Preservation Fund of the Master Trust, if any, would not be
        material in relation to the Capital Preservation Fund's net assets
        available for plan benefits at December 31, 1996.  There are no
        other significant concentrations of credit risk in other Plan
        assets.

        The Master Trust also has entered into synthetic investment
        contracts with Bankers Trust Company, National Westminster Bank
        plc, People's Security Life Insurance Company and Transamerica Life
        Companies.  The synthetic investment contracts are composed of
        underlying assets and "wrappers", which are contracts that enable
        withdrawals to be made at contract value, rather than at the market
        value of the underlying assets.  The contracts have underlying
        assets invested either directly or through collective trust funds
        in government agency-backed collateralized mortgage obligation

        Over time, the contracts will earn the rate of return of the
        underlying assets.

        The average interest crediting rate at December 31, 1996 for all
        standard and synthetic investment contracts in the aggregate was
        7.09%, while the average yield for the year ended December 31, 1996
        for such contracts in the aggregate was 7.01%.

        Investment of Employers' Contributions:
        --------------------------------------

        Effective March 1, 1995, employer contributions are invested in
        each of the funds in the same proportion as the participant's
        contributions are invested in such funds.  Prior to that date,
        employer contributions were invested in the ESOP Fund.

        Investment Earnings Reinvestment/Distribution:
        ---------------------------------------------

        Earnings from dividends and interest in all funds (except the ESOP
        Fund) are retained by the Trustee and reinvested in the same fund. 
        A participant who has funds in the ESOP Fund may elect to receive a
        payment equal to the dividends due on certain Sun Common Stock
        attributable to his account in the ESOP Fund (dividend equivalents)
        if they exceed $10.  Dividends on Sun Common Stock in the ESOP

1.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
        ------------------------------

        Fund for which a participant has not elected to receive an
        equivalent distribution, or which are not eligible for payment, are
        credited to his account in the ESOP Fund and are reinvested in Sun
        Common Stock by the Trustee.

        Rollovers, Withdrawals and Transfers:
        ------------------------------------

        Certain employees of Sun may roll over the taxable portion of a
        distribution from a tax-qualified plan of a previous employer into
        the Plan, provided certain conditions imposed by the Plan
        Administrator are met.  Effective July 1, 1996, the Atlantic
        Savings Plan was merged into the Plan and all participants in the
        Atlantic Savings Plan became participants in the Plan.  In
        addition, effective May 1, 1995, all employees of Mid-Valley
        Pipeline Company, an affiliate of Sun, became employees of Sun and
        participants in the Plan.  In connection therewith, the Mid-Valley
        Pipeline Company Capital Accumulation Plan (MidCAP) was merged into
        the Plan at such time.  The Atlantic Savings and MidCAP plan
        transfers are separately reflected by fund in the statements of
        changes in net assets available for plan benefits.  

        Employees who terminate employment and elect to defer the
        distribution of their Plan account may also directly roll over the
        taxable portion of distributions from other Sun tax-qualified plans
        into the Plan.

        Upon retirement or other termination of employment, the balances
        credited to a participant's account will be held in the Plan until
        the participant reaches age 70 1/2, unless the participant elects
        an earlier distribution.  Alternatively, a participant who
        terminates service may request that the account balance be
        transferred directly to an individual retirement account or annuity
        or a defined contribution plan maintained by a successor employer.

        Retirees or terminated vested persons, regardless of age, may elect
        to take periodic distributions either through withdrawals every six
        months in varying amounts or in substantially equal payments every
        six months over the participant's remaining life expectancy.

        A participant, during employment, may withdraw up to 100% of
        Matching Employer Contributions, including any earnings thereon,
        and his ESOP sub-account under the ESOP Fund, if any, provided that
        such contributions have been in the Plan for two years.  In
        addition, a participant may withdraw up to 100% of Additional Post-
        Tax Contributions including any earnings thereon.  Withdrawals are
        permitted once every six months.

        Withdrawals from the Equity Index Fund, U.S. Extended Market Equity
        Fund, International Fund and Diversified Investments Fund are made
        in cash only while those from the Capital Preservation Fund may be
        made in cash or as an annuity.  Withdrawals from the Sun Common
        Stock Fund and the ESOP Fund are made in the form of Sun Common
        Stock or cash at the participant's discretion.  Withdrawals of Sun
        Common Stock are valued at the closing market prices on the last
        business day of the month in which the notice of withdrawal has
        been processed by the Plan.  Withdrawals will be distributed from
        participants accounts in the following order:

                      Capital Preservation Fund
                      Diversified Investments Fund
                      Equity Index Fund
                      U.S. Extended Market Equity Fund
                      International Fund
                      Sun Common Stock Fund
                      ESOP Fund

        While actively employed, a participant generally is not entitled to
        withdraw Basic Pre-Tax Contributions, Basic Post-Tax Contributions
        or Additional Pre-Tax Contributions, including earnings thereon.  

        A participant may transfer investments among all Funds (except the
        Loan Fund), subject generally to the following rules.  A
        participant may elect to change the investment allocation
        percentage for any Fund (except the Loan Fund) or elect to transfer
        a specified dollar amount from the Equity Index Fund, U.S. Extended
        Market Equity Fund, International Fund, Diversified Investments
        Fund and Capital Preservation Fund or share equivalents from the
        Sun Common Stock and ESOP Funds.  Transfers or changes in fund
        allocation percentages may be made monthly.  

        Should total withdrawals or transfers from a fund during a month cause
        the Trustee to liquidate securities, resulting in a gain or loss to
        the fund, such gain or loss will be allocated, pro rata, among the
        participants who made such withdrawals or transfers during that month. 
        Withdrawals and transfers of Sun Common Stock are subject to a maximum
        500,000 shares per month limitation except that there is no limit in
        the number of shares which may be withdrawn from the Plan.  

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, benefit payments shall be made in
        accordance with the Code and IRS regulations and shall be made to a
        participant and/or his designated beneficiary not later than April 1
        of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
        participant attains 70 1/2 years of age.

1.      GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
        ------------------------------

        Loans to Participants
        ---------------------

        The Plan Administrator has the authority, in his sole discretion, to
        direct the Trustee to lend a participant an amount not exceeding
        certain portions of the participant's account balance in the Plan. 
        Prior to October 9, 1995, the Plan Administrator did not permit any
        loans to Plan participants, except for loans that were outstanding
        from participants of Chevron U.S.A.'s tax-qualified plan which had
        been transferred into the Plan.  Effective October 9, 1995, the Plan
        Administrator elected to permit loans to Plan participants. 
        Participants are eligible to borrow if they are on the active payroll
        of Sun and have a Plan account balance of at least $2,000.  The
        minimum loan amount is $1,000, while the maximum loan amount is the
        lesser of (a) $50,000 adjusted downward by the highest outstanding
        loan balance in the past twelve months or (b) one-half the value of
        the participant's account balance.  Participants are permitted to
        borrow only once in a twelve-month period and to have no more than two
        loans outstanding at any time.  Loan proceeds are withdrawn from each
        fund in which the participant has an account balance on a pro rata
        basis and are not taxable to the participant when received.  Any loan
        which is not repaid is in default and the outstanding loan balance
        (including accrued interest thereon) is treated as a distribution from
        the Plan.  Loans and related activity are reflected in the Loan Fund
        in the accompanying financial statements.  As loans receivable
        (including interest thereon) are repaid, amounts are transferred into
        the funds in the same proportion as the participant's current
        contributions.

        ------------------------------------------

        Use of Estimates:
        ----------------

        Certain amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and
        related footnotes reflect the use of estimates based on assumptions
        made by the Plan's management.  Actual amounts could differ from these
        estimates.

        Investments:
        -----------

        The valuation of the Plan's interests in collective trust funds or its
        relative interest in such funds held by the Master Trust is based on
        the closing market price on the last business day of the year of the
        assets held in the funds; the Plan's relative interest in such funds
        is determined by the Trustee on a unit-method basis.  The Plan's
        relative interest in investments in both standard and synthetic
        investment contracts with insurance companies or other financial

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
        -----------------------------------------------------

        institutions held by the Master Trust are stated at contract value. 
        Contract value represents contributions made under the contract plus
        interest accrued at the contract rate less any withdrawals.  Standard
        investment contracts earn interest at fixed rates while synthetic
        investment contracts earn interest at rates that are reset at least
        quarterly as specified in the respective contract.  The Master Trust's
        management believes that the contract value of all of its investment
        contracts approximates fair value.  However, since there is no
        significant secondary market for these investments, contract value may
        not be indicative of amounts that could be realized in a current
        market exchange.  The valuation of Sun Common Stock is based on the
        closing market price reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the
        last business day of the Plan year.  

        Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. 
        Dividend income is reported on the ex-dividend date; interest income
        is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.  The net appreciation
        (depreciation) in the fair value of Sun Common Stock, which consists
        of realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation),
        is reported as a separate line item in the statements of changes in
        net assets available for plan benefits, prior to the transfer of the
        Plan's investments in Sun Common Stock to the Master Trust on
        September 1, 1996.  Beginning on September 1, 1996, the net
        appreciation in the fair value of Sun Stock is reflected as a
        component of the increase in value of participation in the Sun
        Company, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust (Note 3). 

        Benefits Paid to Participants:
        -----------------------------

        Benefits paid to participants, which include withdrawals and
        distributions, are recorded upon distribution.

        Administrative Expenses:
        -----------------------

        All brokerage fees, taxes and other expenses related to the purchase
        and sale of securities in all funds are paid out of the respective
        assets of such funds.  All other costs and expenses (other than the
        cost of services provided by Sun employees which are paid by Sun)
        incurred in administering the Plan are generally charged, pro rata, to
        each of the respective funds.

4.      SUN COMPANY, INC. TENDER OFFER
        ------------------------------

        On June 13, 1995, Sun Company, Inc. announced an extensive operational
        and financial restructuring of the Company, including a reduction in
        the annual dividend rate on Sun Common Stock from $1.80 to $1.00 per
        share, an offer to exchange up to 25,000,000 newly-issued depositary
        shares each representing one-half share of its Series A Cumulative
        Preference Stock for an equal number of shares of Sun Common Stock
        (Exchange Offer) and an offer to repurchase in a "Dutch Auction" up to
        6,400,000 shares of Sun Common Stock at cash prices not greater than
        $33 nor less than $30 (Cash Offer).  Sun Common Stock held in the Plan
        could not be tendered in the Exchange Offer, as the Plan does not
        provide for investments in the depositary shares.  

        Sun's Benefit Plans Investment Committee, a Plan fiduciary, engaged an
        independent investment manager to decide whether or not to tender the
        Plan's shares of Sun Common Stock in the Cash Offer and to manage a
        repurchase program if the shares were tendered pursuant thereto.  All
        of the Sun Common Stock held by the Plan was tendered on behalf of the
        Plan participants in the Cash Offer at a price of $30 per share. 
        Since the Cash Offer was oversubscribed, approximately 18% of all
        shares tendered was accepted by the Company on a pro rata basis. 
        Proceeds received by the Plan for the 808,955 shares of Sun Common
        Stock accepted by the Company in the Cash Offer were reinvested over a
        period of time in Sun Common Stock in accordance with the investment
        objectives of the Sun Common Stock and ESOP Funds, resulting in a net
        increase in shares held by the Plan of 26,645.

5.      TAX STATUS
        ----------

        By letter dated September 16, 1995, the IRS ruled that the Plan is
        qualified as a tax-exempt plan with an underlying trust under
        Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code and as an employee
        stock ownership plan under Section 4975 (e)(7) of the Code.

                                              REPORT OF COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

To the Plan Administrator of the Sun Company, Inc. Capital
  Accumulation Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan (Plan) as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year then ended.  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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit
provides 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, 1995, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The Fund Information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1995
and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
the year then ended is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in
net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The Fund Information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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.
