                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Plan Administrator
Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Sun Company, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan (Plan) as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years 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 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 its net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended, 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 accompanying supplemental
schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at December 31, 1997 is
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 is 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 schedule and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit 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.

                  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 the day 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 both 1997 and 1996.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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, 1997, no
          borrowings had been approved.

          Effective April 1, 1998, a participant's account is credited daily
          with units representing interests held in each of the funds described
          below.  Prior to this date, such crediting occurred at the end of each
          month.  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

          Master Trust (Master Trust).  The Master Trust also includes
          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. 
          
          The following table sets forth each fund's respective share of the
          total net assets of the corresponding Master Trust fund at

          ESOP Fund - a fund to be invested principally in Sun Common Stock,
          which constitutes an employee stock ownership plan under
          Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.  Effective March 1, 1995, no
          contributions are invested directly in the ESOP Fund; prior to such
          date only company contributions were invested directly in the ESOP
          Fund.

          Each of the above funds may invest in short-term investments for
          purposes of administering the funds, including satisfying the
          transfer and withdrawal requests of participants.

          At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Capital Preservation Fund of the
          Master Trust is principally invested in both standard and synthetic
          investment contracts.  Identified below are the insurance companies
          and other financial institutions that have entered into standard
          investment contracts as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 with the

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, 1997.  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
          issues, government and corporate bonds and other asset-backed
          securities.  The contracts are presented below in two separate
          portfolios based upon the investment strategy for the underlying
          assets.  The assets in the "Buy and Hold Portfolios" are expected
          to be held until maturity, while the "Managed Portfolios" are
          actively managed to reflect changing market conditions.  Interest
          crediting rates for these contracts are reset at least quarterly,
          as specified in the respective contracts. The following table
          details for each contract respective interest crediting rates and
          percentage of the net assets of the Capital Preservation Fund of
          the Master Trust at December 31, 1997 and 1996:

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

          The average interest crediting rates at December 31, 1997 and 1996
          for all standard and synthetic investment contracts in the
          aggregate were 6.95% and 7.09%, respectively.  The average yields
          for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 for such contracts
          in the aggregate were 6.90% and 7.01%, respectively.

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

          Employer contributions are invested in each of the funds in the
          same proportion as the participant's contributions are invested in
          such funds.  

          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 all 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.  Such
          transfers are separately reflected by fund in the statement 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. 
          Effective April 1, 1998, withdrawals of Sun Common Stock are
          valued at the closing market prices on the last business day of
          the week in which the notice of withdrawal has been processed by
          the Plan.  Prior to this date, withdrawals of Sun Common Stock
          were valued at the closing market prices of the month in which the
          notice of withdrawal had been processed.  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.  Effective
          April 1, 1998, transfers or changes in fund allocation percentages
          may be made daily.  Prior to this date, such transfers or changes
          in fund allocation percentages were permitted on a monthly basis. 
          
          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.

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

          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. 
          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

          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

          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.

6.        YEAR 2000 INFORMATION PROCESSING (UNAUDITED)
          --------------------------------------------

          A program is currently underway to evaluate and implement changes that
          will be necessary for the Plan to accurately process information at
          and beyond the Year 2000.  The program consists of an evaluation of
          and changes to the Plan's information technology environment as well
          as an assessment of the ability of the Plan's major service providers
          to conduct business.  Management expects that all of the Plan's
          systems will be Year 2000 compliant by mid-1999 and that the costs
          associated with this project will not be significant to the Plan. 
          Furthermore, the Plan has not identified any material adverse Year
          2000 consequences to date in connection with any of its third-party
          relationships.
