5 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTD.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - The financial statements included in this report reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Corporation's consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. These statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, which have been incorporated by reference in the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The first provides for $1.5 billion of short-term revolving credit through January 2002 and bears interest at .525% above the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The second is for $1.5 billion of five-year revolving credit, which expires in 4
6 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTD.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 2006 and currently bears interest at .50% above LIBOR. Facility fees of .10% and .125% per annum are currently payable on the credit lines. Interest rate spreads and facility fees fluctuate based on the Corporation's public debt rating. The Corporation has the option to extend up to $500 million of outstanding debt under the short-term facility for an additional 364 days. After the end of the quarter, the Corporation entered into an agreement for an additional $1 billion of two-year revolving credit. This revolving credit facility currently bears interest at .525% above LIBOR. A facility fee of .10% per annum is currently payable on the credit line. Interest rate spreads and facility fees fluctuate based on the Corporation's public debt rating. The amount of the facility is automatically reduced by the proceeds resulting from the issuance of any long-term debt security in the capital markets.

7 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTD.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8 - The Corporation adopted FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2001. This statement requires that the Corporation recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for using derivatives as hedges. The Corporation uses derivatives in its hedging program and its trading activities, including its 50% owned trading partnership. The Corporation reclassifies hedging gains and losses included in other comprehensive income to earnings at the time the hedged transactions are recognized. Hedging increased exploration and production results by $21 million ($14 million after income taxes) in the second quarter of 2001 and reduced income by $10 million ($6 million after income taxes) in the first half of 2001. The impact of hedging on refining and marketing results was not material. At June 30, 2001, after-tax deferred gains from hedging crude oil and natural gas contracts expiring through 2003 were approximately $72 million (including $60 million of unrealized gains). Of the total, $6 million relates to the remainder of 2001. Note 9 - Comprehensive income, which includes net income and the effects of foreign currency translation and cash flow hedges recorded directly in stockholders' equity, was as follows (in millions): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months Six months ended June 30 ended June 30 --------------- --------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----- ----- ----- ----- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Comprehensive income $ 359 $ 195 $ 665 $ 418 ===== ===== ===== ===== </TABLE> Note 10 - The Corporation's results by operating segment were as follows (in millions): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months Six months ended June 30 ended June 30 -------------------- -------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------- ------- ------- ------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Operating revenues Exploration and production (*) $ 1,244 $ 870 $ 2,520 $ 1,920 Refining, marketing and shipping 2,478 1,959 5,648 3,889 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $ 3,722 $ 2,829 $ 8,168 $ 5,809 ======= ======= ======= ======= Net income (loss) Exploration and production $ 304 $ 178 $ 579 $ 396 Refining, marketing and shipping 101 64 206 112 Corporate, including interest (48) (40) (91) (82) ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $ 357 $ 202 $ 694 $ 426 ======= ======= ======= ======= </TABLE> 6

Note 11 - In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These new statements require the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations entered into after June 29, 2001. In addition, the new rules will require that goodwill no longer be amortized as an expense. Instead, goodwill will be subject to an annual impairment test. Except for the accounting for new goodwill as discussed below, the Corporation will adopt these rules on January 1, 2002. Early in 2002, the Corporation will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill. The Corporation has not yet determined what the effects of the new accounting standards will be on its income and financial position. When the planned acquisition of Triton Energy Limited is completed, goodwill recorded in connection with this purchase will be accounted for under the provisions of FAS No. 142 and will not be amortized. 7
9 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the second quarter of 2001 amounted to $357 million compared with $202 million in the second quarter of 2000. Net income for the first half of 2001 was $694 million compared with $426 million in the first half of 2000. The after-tax results by major operating activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in millions, except per share data): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months Six months ended June 30 ended June 30 ---------------- ---------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----- ----- ----- ----- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Exploration and production $ 304 $ 178 $ 579 $ 396 Refining, marketing and shipping 101 64 206 112 Corporate (19) (10) (32) (22) Interest expense (29) (30) (59) (60) ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income $ 357 $ 202 $ 694 $ 426 ===== ===== ===== ===== Net income per share (diluted) $3.98 $2.24 $7.77 $4.71 ===== ===== ===== ===== </TABLE> Exploration and Production Operating earnings from exploration and production activities were $126 million higher in the second quarter of 2001 compared with the second quarter of 2000. For the first six months, exploration and production earnings were $183 million higher in 2001 than 2000. These increases mainly reflect higher worldwide crude oil and natural gas selling prices and sales volumes. The Corporation's average selling prices, including the effects of hedging, were as follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months Six months ended June 30 ended June 30 --------------------- --------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Crude oil (per barrel) United States $ 24.82 $ 24.46 $ 24.55 $ 23.55 Foreign 27.87 24.09 26.76 24.89 Natural gas liquids (per barrel) United States $ 20.25 $ 18.69 $ 22.98 $ 19.84 Foreign 20.28 20.64 21.41 21.60 Natural gas (per Mcf) United States $ 4.64 $ 3.37 $ 4.96 $ 2.90 Foreign 2.48 2.10 2.73 2.09 </TABLE> 8
10 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The Corporation's net daily worldwide production was as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three months Six months ended June 30 ended June 30 ----------------- ----------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------ ------ ------ ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Crude oil (barrels per day) United States 69 55 63 53 United Kingdom 117 112 119 112 Norway 25 27 25 25 Denmark 17 19 20 25 Algeria 13 -- 13 -- Gabon 9 7 8 8 Indonesia 6 4 6 4 Azerbaijan 4 3 4 3 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total 260 227 258 230 ====== ====== ====== ====== Natural gas liquids (barrels per day) United States 15 12 13 13 Foreign 8 10 9 9 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total 23 22 22 22 ====== ====== ====== ====== Natural gas (Mcf per day) United States 474 298 399 296 United Kingdom 289 299 316 322 Denmark 38 25 44 29 Norway 25 24 25 25 Indonesia and Thailand 34 33 32 35 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total 860 679 816 707 ====== ====== ====== ====== Barrels of oil equivalent (barrels per day) 426 362 416 370 ====== ====== ====== ====== </TABLE> On a barrel of oil equivalent basis, the Corporation's oil and gas production increased by 18% in the second quarter of 2001 compared with the corresponding period of 2000. The increases in United States crude oil and natural gas production mainly resulted from the purchase of substantially all of the assets of a privately held exploration and production company in April. In addition, production from the Conger Field in the Gulf of Mexico, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2000, contributed to the increase. United Kingdom crude oil production increased principally because of production from the Bittern Field, which commenced in the second half of 2000. Crude oil production in the first half of 2001 also reflects production from the Corporation's interest in a redevelopment project in Algeria. The failure of power generation turbines in late June through July 17 will reduce crude oil production from the South Arne Field in Denmark in the third quarter. 9
11 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Production expenses in 2001 were higher than 2000, partially due to increased production volumes and to the mix of producing fields. Depreciation, depletion and amortization charges were also higher in 2001, reflecting higher production and increased per-barrel costs from the acquisition completed in April. The effective income tax rate on exploration and production earnings in the first half of 2001 was 40%, compared with 42% in the first half of 2000. Crude oil and natural gas selling prices are currently below the average selling prices that the Corporation received in the second quarter. The effect of lower prices on the Corporation's third quarter earnings will only be partially mitigated by its hedging program. Refining, Marketing and Shipping Operating earnings for refining, marketing and shipping activities amounted to $101 million and $206 million in the second quarter and first half of 2001, compared with $64 million and $112 million in the corresponding periods of 2000. The Corporation's downstream operations include its 50% equity share of HOVENSA, a refining joint venture. HOVENSA The Corporation's share of HOVENSA's income was $51 million in the second quarter of 2001 compared with $41 million in the second quarter of 2000. The Corporation's share of HOVENSA's income in the first half of 2001 was $66 million compared with $52 million in 2000. Margins for refined products were higher in the second quarter and first half of 2001 compared with the corresponding periods of 2000. Increased margins were partially offset by scheduled maintenance on the fluid catalytic cracking unit for six weeks during the first half of the year. Income taxes on HOVENSA's results are offset by available loss carryforwards. Operating earnings from refining, marketing and shipping activities also included interest income of $20 million in the first half of 2001 and $25 million in the first half of 2000 on the note received from PDVSA V.I. in connection with the formation of the joint venture. Retail, energy marketing and other Results from retail gasoline operations for the second quarter and first half of 2001 were higher than the corresponding periods of 2000, reflecting higher margins at gasoline stations. The Corporation's Port Reading refining facility had increased earnings, reflecting improved margins and the shutdown for scheduled maintenance in the first quarter of last year. Earnings from energy marketing activities decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2001 compared with the corresponding periods of 2000. The reduced earnings in the second quarter included an after-tax 10
12 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) charge of $13 million, reflecting adjustments to the cost of natural gas purchased for resale to customers of recently acquired energy marketing businesses. Marketing expenses increased by $30 million in the second quarter and $77 million in the first half of 2001 compared with 2000, principally reflecting expanded retail and energy marketing operations. Total refined product sales volumes amounted to 77 million barrels in the first half of 2001 compared with 68 million barrels in the first half of 2000. The Corporation has a 50% voting interest in a consolidated partnership that trades energy commodities and energy derivatives. The Corporation also takes trading positions in addition to its hedging program. The combined results from trading activities amounted to a loss of $12 million in the second quarter and income of $12 million in the first half of 2001. This compares with breakeven results in the second quarter of 2000 and a loss of $10 million in the first half of 2000. Expenses of the trading partnership are included in marketing expenses. During the second quarter of 2001, the Corporation sold its fleet of tugs and barges in the Northeast United States, resulting in an after-tax gain of $17 million. The pre-tax gain of $26 million is included in non-operating income in the income statement. Refining margins deteriorated at the end of the second quarter and continue to be depressed. This will negatively affect HOVENSA and Port Reading earnings in the third quarter. Corporate Corporate results in the second quarter and first half of 2001 were higher than the comparable periods of 2000, because of lower interest income and lower dividend income from reinsurers and increased administrative expenses. Consolidated Operating Revenues Sales and other operating revenues increased by 31% in the second quarter and 40% in the first half of 2001 compared with the same periods in 2000. The increase primarily reflects higher selling prices and increased sales volumes of refined products and purchased natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas production volumes and natural gas selling prices were also higher. 11
13 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On July 10, 2001 the Corporation announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to commence a cash tender offer for all outstanding ordinary shares of Triton Energy Limited for $45 per share. The transaction has a total cost of approximately $3.2 billion, including the assumption of approximately $500 million in Triton debt. A private investment firm holding 38% of Triton shares has given the Corporation an irrevocable commitment to sell its interest to the Corporation. The Corporation plans to finance this transaction using existing credit facilities and new borrowings. Net cash provided by operating activities, including changes in operating assets and liabilities, amounted to $1,021 million in the first half of 2001 compared with $908 million in the first half of 2000. Excluding changes in balance sheet accounts, the increase was $309 million and resulted primarily from improved operating results. Total debt was $2,280 million at June 30, 2001 compared with $2,050 million at December 31, 2000. The debt to capitalization ratio decreased to 33% at June 30 compared to 35% at year-end. At June 30, 2001, the Corporation had $2.7 billion of additional borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit agreements and additional unused lines of credit under uncommitted arrangements with banks of $219 million. In July 2001, the Corporation entered into an agreement for an additional $1 billion of two-year revolving credit. The Corporation has also filed a shelf registration statement for $3 billion of debt securities, which became effective on July 27, 2001. The Corporation currently intends to issue approximately $1.2 billion of these debt securities to fund a portion of the Triton acquisition. The $1 billion, two-year revolving credit facility will be reduced by the proceeds of this debt issuance. The Corporation intends to fund the remainder of the purchase under its existing revolving credit agreements and with available cash. Since inception of the Corporation's $300 million common stock repurchase program in March 2000, the Corporation has repurchased 3,707,100 shares as of June 30, 2001, for approximately $240 million. The Corporation uses futures, forwards, options and swaps to reduce the effects of changes in the selling prices of crude oil, natural gas and refined products. These instruments fix the selling prices of a portion of the Corporation's production and the related gains or losses are an integral part of the Corporation's selling prices. At June 30, 2001, the Corporation had open hedge positions on 17% of its estimated worldwide crude oil production and 20% of its U.S. natural gas production for the remainder of the year. The Corporation has also hedged 13% of its estimated crude oil production and 19% of its U.S. natural gas production for 2002 and 6% of its U.S. natural gas production for 2003. As market conditions change, the Corporation may adjust its hedge positions. 12
14 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The Corporation uses value at risk to estimate the potential effects of changes in fair values of derivatives and other instruments used in hedging activities and derivatives and commodities used in trading activities. The Corporation estimates that at June 30, 2001, the value at risk was $17 million ($36 million at December 31, 2000) related to hedging activities and $21 million ($16 million at December 31, 2000) for trading activities. The Corporation reduces its exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates by using forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on a portion of the foreign currency required in its North Sea operations. At June 30, 2001, the Corporation had $448 million of notional value foreign exchange contracts outstanding. Capital expenditures in the first half of 2001 amounted to $1,467 million, of which $1,365 million related to exploration and production activities. These expenditures include the purchases of oil and natural gas reserves in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana for $865 million.
