I Letter to the Shareholders
L. G. RcrnA
Exxon's financial results in 1987 were generally strong, particularly in view of the continuing volatility and uncertainty in energy markets. The year ended with fourth quarter earnings higher than any of the preceding six quarters, although net income for the full year, $4.8 billion, was down 9.7 percent from the near record level of 1986. Exxon's exploration and production business results, which were depressed by low crude oil prices in 1986, made a strong recov ery in 1987, due to increased liquids production, higher prices, and lower operating costs. Our liquid reserve additions in 1987 equalled 114 per cent of our production. Vfe also achieved a second consecutive year of record earnings from our chem icals business.These gains, how ever, did not fully offset the squeeze on profit margins in our down stream refining and marketing business where the increased cost of crude oil could not be fully re covered in product selling prices. Our chemical sales increased 19 percent in 1987, benefiting from strong worldwide demand and productivity improvements in our plants. Exxon's margins improved, and most of our chemical units ran at or near capacity during the year. Among Exxon's other business segments, the adverse effect of
lower coal prices was largely offset by in creased earnings from copper mining and electric power generation in Hong Kong.
During the year, our shareholders approved a two-for-one stock split, the dividend was in creased and per share earnings of $3.43 turned out to be among the highest in recent years. We also repurchased 58 million Exxon shares. Thus, 1987 was a rewarding year for share holders, despite a volatile financial climate. Since 1986 had been the year for restructur ing our worldwide organization, 1987 became a year for testing the new structure. It turned out to be a tough test, but the new organization produced the benefits we had anticipated. We confirmed that we could operate quite profit ably with oil prices well below what they were in the first half of the decade. We demon strated that we could reduce our costs and operate more effectively without impairing our
traditional strengths--something we will not forget in a higher price environment. We esti mate that this organizational efficiency added $375 million to our 1987 net incomeThese efficiencies will remain in place and further benefits will accrue in future years. Finally, the restructured organization has given us the greater flexibility and shorter response time needed to seize and profit from rapidly emerg ing opportunities during these uncertain times. All considered, these 1987 results were satis fying and confirmed that our underlying busi nesses and our new organizational structure are sound and that we are well-positioned for the future. Exxon's ability to maintain superior corporate performance derives from certain funda mental strengths. Wfe have a very latge natural resource base diversified throughout the worid. Exxon also has a strong marketing presence, coupled with highly efficient manufacturing facilities in the petroleum and chemical busi nesses. A range of Exxon-developed technol ogies serves to keep us in the forefront of the industry; some of them are highlighted in the new Research andTechnology section of this report Our sound financial position is attested by one of the strongest balance sheets in industry. And, most importantly, we have the capable services of our dedicated employees located in 80 countries. Our ongoing challenge is to develop oppor tunities to utilize these underlying strengths to maximize shareholder values. Vfe are pur suing that challenge in a number of ways. In exploration and production, we are being appropriately selective in targeting our efforts, due to the difficult supply and demand situ ation. Although oil prices are about half of what they were in 1985, there are a number of opportunities which can be aggressively pur sued in a lower price environment, so we are focusing on those. Exxon is also adding to its oil and gas reserves through attractively priced acquisitions--some 450 million oil equivalent barrels last year for about $1.8 billion. Mean while, we are continuing to invest in enhanced recovery technologies to ensure that we get all the oil that can be economically produced from maturing fields.

In refining and marketing, we are continuing to invest in those markets where we are com petitive and have the opportunity to achieve^ satisfactory profitability. As product markets evolve, we are continuing to upgrade existing refinery facilities to convert lower-grade products and feedstocks into more profitable transportation fuels, lubricants and specialty products. Further, we are prepared to disinvest where
careful analysis persuades us that a particular business environment is unfavorable
In chemicals, we are well-posi tioned in an industry with good growth prospects. Our strategies emphasize quality, higher valueadded products, and services tai lored to our customers' needa Facilities that have been operating at or near capacity are being ex panded through an ongoing pro gram of low-cost capacity addi tions. We are also broadening our range of participation to additional chemical markets through care fully selected new investments and acquisitions. In coed and minerals, we are con tinuing with the development of our resources. Our aim in these very competitive businesses is to ensure that our operations are among the most cost-efficient in their industries. In 1987, Exxon's capital and exploration spending in support of these strategies totaled $7.1 billion. At this stage, our plans call for expenditures of about $6.5 billion in 1988. How ever, to the extent that attractive acquisitions are available, additional funds will be spent again this year. Looking beyond 1988, the outlook for con tinuing volatility in oil prices suggests that the years immediately ahead are likely to remain difficult. Our ability to convert change into opportunity will be constantly tested. But knowing that we can continue to compete suc cessfully in a low energy price environment gives us the confidence to maintain our focus on longer-term strategies, while taking advan tage of near-term opportunities. As we see it, some time in the decade of the 1990s world crude oil supply_and.demand
should become better balanced and prices will rise: In this environment, our extensive inven tory of heavy oil, remote gas and presently noncommercial resources will become more economic to produce, thereby providing us with a very large investment portfolio in the future. Beyond these resources, we also have sizeable coal and oil shale holdings that will provide the basis for synthetic fuels produc tion. Vtfe have already developed improved, sec ond generation synthetic fuel technologies that could be utilized with real crude oil prices in the $30 to $35 a barrel range. And we are pur suing research leads that we expect will lower the cost of synthetics still further. Vfe believe that our investment program cou pled with our research and development efforts position us favorably to take full advantage of the profitable opportunities that lie ahead and will further enhance our position in the industry. Vfe wish to thank our customers for their business and to commend our employees for their effective efforts in helping to convert an other challenging year for the industry into a successful one for Exxon. Our thanks, also, to our shareholders, whose ongoing support con tributes greatly to Exxon's underlying strength and stability.

improved upstream results, record year in chemicals were more than offset by lower downstream margins and absence oflarge 1986 gainsfrom assets sales.
World crude oil prices were moderately stronger, with the average price of about $18 a barrel exceeding the 1986 level by 25 per cent despite some weakening late in 1987. But the resulting improvement in explora tion and production earnings was more than offset by a decline in refining and marketing earnings from the very high levels of the previous year. Refined product margins were severely depressed for most of 1987, as product price increases ran well behind increases in the cost of crude oil supplies for Exxon refineries--in contrast to 1986, when crude oil prices dropped sharply during the first half while product prices remained relatively firm. Chemical earnings reached a record high for the second consecutive year, reflecting stronger sales volumes and margins in most chemical business lines. Cost savings attributable to the 1986 corporate reorganization helped results in all operations.

Higher crude oil prices lifted upstream earnings. Lower costs, increased pro duction, contributed to gains.
Exxon's earnings from exploration and production operations were up by 23 per cent, as crude oil prices recovered from the depressed levels of mid-1986. Natural gas realizations were lower, largely because European gas contracts were indexed to petroleum product prices of earlier periods.
US. upstream earnings rose 89 percent, buoyed by higher crude oil prices and cost savings resulting from reduced drilling activity and lower exploration expenses. The gain came despite reduced natural gas prices and a 12 percent drop in'gas sales, reflecting intense competition-rn the US. market Upstream earnings outside the US. rose modestly, due to higher crude oil prices and increased liquids and gas pro
duction. Foreign gas sales rose 3 percent on higher market demand.
Worldwide, Exxon's production of crude oil and natural gas liquids rose 2 percent, mainly on the strength of production in creases at Canadian heavy oil properties and in Australia. US. liquids production was essentially unchanged, as new Alaskan production compensated for the continued decline in the lower 48 states with the depletion of mature fields.
Reserve additions replaced 114 percent of the liquids produced during 1987. The com pany removed 7.8 trillion cubic feet of un developed gas reserves in Alaska from its reserves count because of Uncertainty about when a transportation system will be built to move the gas to market Exxon remains confident that these high-quality resources will ultimately be developed. Excluding this revision, gas reserve addi tions replaced 1987 production.
Major acquisitions included producing and exploration properties in the.U-S., Canada, Australia.
With purchases totaling $1.8 billion, Exxon acquired approximately 450 million barrels of proved and probable oil-equiva lent reserves in the United States, Canada and Australia, along with promising exploration acreage.
The purchase of Celeron Oil & Gas Com pany from t-he Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company added significant reserves in California The Celeron properties include tracts in the onshore South Belridge and Midway-Sunset fields with average 1987 production of 14,400 net barrels of oil a day and a 27 percent interest in the offshore San Miguel field where development is un der way, as well as offshore acreage with exploration potential.. Imperial purchased the assets of Sulpetro Limited and the shares of its affiliate Sulbath Exploration Limited.The main assets of the companies include oil and gas reserves and exploration acreage in western Canada.

Margin squeeze reduced downstream, earnings by 75 percent. Impact most severe in US., Europe.
Earnings from refining and marketing operations dropped sharply from the high levels of the previous year, as product mar gins were squeezed by higher crude oil prices combined with intense competition and continued overcapacity in the Fhdustry.
The lag between changes in crude oil prices and changes in product prices, which helped downstream results in 1986, had the opposite effect in 1987, particularly in the first half of the year. U.S. earnings were hard hit, dropping by $446 million to $32 million. Margins were also under severe pressure in continental European markets, despite weakening of the U.S. dollar which reduced local currency costs foccrude supplies. Overall sales volumes were flat. Sales of motor gasoline, lubes and specialties were ahead of 1986 levels, but sales of heavy fuel
oil were down, reflecting Exxon's continu ing withdrawal from this business as the company adds facilities to upgrade fuel oil into more valuable products.
Upgrading projects under way in UK., Singapore refineries. Other plants boosted octane capability.
The company announced major upgrading projects at two of its refineries. In the United Kingdom, a $130 million Residfiner will be built at the Fawley refinery to up grade heavy fuel oil for further processing into more valuable light products. The 22,000-barrel-a-day unit will reduce the crude runs needed to produce a given vol ume of gasoline and other light products. At its Singapore refinery, Exxon is adding a $75 million, 35,000-barrel-a-day thermal cracking/visbreaking unit, which also converts less valuable heavy products, for which demand is declining, into light prod ucts such as jet fuel, diesel and naphtha Both units are scheduled to start up in 1989. Exxon committed over $145 million dur ing the year to upgrade refining operations to meet increasing demand for lead-free and higher-octane motor gasoline Invest ments included an isomerization project at Baton Rouge, Louisiana and new reformers at Augusta Italy, and at Port Dickson, Malaysia An affiliated refinery at Kawasaki, Japan, which currently must import com ponents to make 100 octane fuel for the Japanese market (the equivalent of 94 octane in the US.), will add a unit in 1988 to permit the manufacture of these components. As part of a continuing program to restructure refining operations in line with changes in the market, Exxon sold its 100,000-barrel-a-day refinery at Hamburg, West Germany.
Nero products included 93 octane un leaded premium gasoline in US. markets.
New gasolines, diesel fuels and motor oils were introduced in several countries, as Exxon marketing prbgrams emphasized improved product qualities.
The company introduced 93 octane Exxon Supreme in the United States to meet the

needs of the growing number of high-com pression and octane-sensitive automobiles on the nation's roads. The new fuel puts Exxon among US. industry leaders in the octane rating of its unleaded premium mo tor gasoline. Exxon Supreme was available in most major East and Gulf Coast markets at year-end.

octane Exxon Regular unleaded in all mar kets and 89 octane Exxon Plus unleaded in most major East and Gulf Coast markets.
Exxon USA introduced several new spe cialty oil products, including Busgard,a motor oil specifically formulated for the en gines that power most U.S. bus fleets, and Zerice Supreme, a refrigeration oil for the commercial refrigeration market.
Sign at this Exxon service station in Houston heralds the 93 octane Exxon Supreme unleaded gas oline which was intro duced in most major East and GulfCoast markets in 1987. The station exemplifies the latest architecture and design features being extended throughout Exxon's world wide retail chain.
Motorists canfill market baskets as well asfuel tanks when stopping at Exxon service stations with convenience stores like this Esso Shop in Bath, England. Increas ingly in evidence in Exxon's uorldwide retail chain, such shops sell conveniencefood and sundries in addition to 10 xutomotue products.
Exxon entered the quick-lube business.
Imperial acquired the Canadian assets of Mr. Lube Limited, which has operated a successful quick-lube franchise business in Canada for the past 12 years and has a chain of some 50 outlets, about half of them associated with Esso service stations. Exxon USA formed a joint venture with Mr. Lube International to develop 12 to 18 pilot outlets in the United States during 1988 under the name Mr. Lube US. Exxon's French affiliate entered the field by opening three test units in Bordeaux under the name Lubexpress. The outlets feature Exxon or Esso-branded motor oils in this fast-growi ng segment of the consu mer motor oi i market.

Retail automation gains included credit/ debit card in US. marlcet, pan-Suropean card.
Exxon USA became the only US. oil com pany to offer a debit feature on its regular credit card, allowing Exxon card holders to authorize payment for purchases directly from their bank accounts and thereby qual ify for cash discounts without sacrificing the convenience of a card. The payment option has been offered to all active card holders and is available to new applicants as well. Customers use personal identification numbers to ensure the security of trans actions and get written receipts for their records. Electronic processing equipment which accepts Exxon cards and selected bank debit cards has been installed in more than 3,600 company-owned service stations. Exxon introduced a pan-European credit card for truckers, whose trips often cross one or more national boundaries. Custom ers can use the card to charge fuel pur chases on the Continent from Norway to Italy.
Expansion ofconvenience stores continued.
Construction of more shops brought the total of convenience stores installed at new or modernized Exxon service stations to more than 4,000 worldwide Exxon USA now has more than 300 Exxon Shops. Affiliates continued to add new shops in Europe, and Exxon established its first C-stores in Latin America and the Far East. Units were opened in Puerto Rico, Chile, Guatemala, Panama, the island of Guadeloupe, Austra lia and Singapore--all offering a wide vari ety of fast foods and other convenience products as well as automotive products.
More tankers activatedfor international service.
Exxon took three large crude carriers (two VLCC's and the 508,000 dwt ULCC Esso Atlantic) out of layup and into operation, in response to increased demand for crude oil transportation capacity. This left oftly three of the company's 20 large crude carriers still in layup, the lowest level in five years. The second of two new US.-flagged VLCC's was delivered to Exxon USA for Alaska ser vice Three smaller ships were sold in 1987, reducing the Exxon fleet to 72 vessels at year-end.

Chemical earnings set recordfor second straight year on higher sales and margins.
Exxon Chemical earnings increased by 60 percent over the record 1986 level, as strong worldwide demand lifted chemical sales volumes and improved margins. The results reflected the expanding world economy as well as the reduction of excess capacity in the petrochemical industry in recent years. All three of the company's Business Groups achieved higher sales, and business was strong both in the United States and in foreign markets. The company's US. earn ings rose 51 percent to $374 million. Foreign earnings were up 69 percent to $376 mil lion, including benefits from favorable one time tax adjustments.

Basic Chemicals boosted US. ethylene capacity. Canadianfertiliser plant started up.
The olefins plant at Baytown,Tfexas, in creased its ethylene production capacity by 90,000 tons a year, amounting to a 7 percent increase in Exxon Chemical's US. capacity for producing this basic building block pet rochemical. The increase was achieved pri marily through efficiency improvements
which did not require major investment The Basic Chemicals Group has started other low-cost programs to meet growing ethylene demand with existing plants.
Major periodic plant turnarounds, which involved extensive inspection and mainte nance work, were successfully carried out during the year without interruption in customer supply at the olefins operations in Fife, Scotland; Fawley, England; and Baytown. New long-term phosphate fertilizer sales contracts in western Canada resulted in the start-up of an idle sulfuric acid plant at the fertilizer complex in Redwater, Alberta, bringing phosphate operations to capacity.
Polymers Group strengthened marketing, announced capacity expansions, started up new ventures.
Industry sector marketing groups were strengthened to better serve international customers. Computer-aided design capabil ity for plastic components was added in the appliance and automotive sectors. Applications technical service labs were expanded in both the US. and Europe.
Plans were announced for a 20 percent expansion of low-density polyethylene capacity in the US. and Belgium and a 50 percent expansion of the polypropylene plant at Baytown, all to come onstream before 1990.The moves come at a time when the polyethylene and polypropylene busi nesses are particularly strong, with Exxon's capacity fully utilized throughout the year. The first commercial production of a family of high-performance polymers known as ionomers began at Cologne, West Germany, and start-up of a similar unit at Antwerp, Belgium, was announced for 1988, supporting Exxon Chemical's plans to be come Europe's leading supplier of ethylenebased sealing and bonding materials for packaging applications.

Sales were at record highs in the vinyl intermediates business, which serves the flexible polyvinyl chloride industry. Volume records were also set by the company's newly enlarged line of specialty organic acids, chemical intermediates used in paint making and other applications. Exxon Chemical introduced the new Exx-print line of fluids custom-made for
the printing ink industry, as part of its strategy to differentiate its products in the marketplace. Sales of specialty performance fluids rose 17 percentdue to new and higher quality product grade developments.
The company purchased the assets of NL Treating Chemicals (NLTC), a division of NL industries, inc,, which supplies specialty chemicals and services for oil and gas pro duction, pipeline and drilling operations. Integration of NLTC with Exxon Chemical's Energy Chemicals division creates one of the worid's major suppliers of oil production chemicals, with NLTC's sales and applica tions expertise supplementing Exxon Chemical's strengths in manufacturing and technology. The Callaway Chemicals unit began construction of a new plant in Shreveport, Louisiana, to serve the pulp and paper industry in that region.

Coal production reached a new high.
The company's total coal output reached 30 million metric tons for the first time, spurred by record production in the US. mines and continued growth in Colombia
Production at the Cerrejon project, in which Exxon is operator of a joint venture with the Colombian government, increased by 50 percent to an annual rate of 7.6 mil lion metric tons as output continued to grow toward design capacity of 15 million metric tons. Most of the coal went to Euro pean markets, although there were also significant sales in the Far East
Coal earnings depressed despite increased production and improved productivity. Despite a profit in U.S.coal operations, higher expenses related to the Cerrejon mine in Colombia and weakness in the steam coal market worldwide combined to produce a loss in the coal segment. Coal prices were depressed by weak demand growth and excess mine capacity in both U.S. and international markets. Capital expenditures are winding down as the Cerrejon project nears completion. Pro duction expenses, including significantly higher depreciation charges, rose despite a 30 percent reduction in unit cash costs.
Exxon's 1987 coal produc tion grew by 13 percent to a record 30 million metric tons, with the Rawhide (opposite page) and Caballo surface mines near Gillette, Wyoming, ac countingfor two-thirds of the output. Coal-fired tur-' bines (right) drivefour 350-megawatt generators at the Castle Peak "A" sta tion power plant operated in Hong Kong by China Light & Power Company. Exxon continues to finance expansion ofthe plant, in which it holds a majority interest. Record earnings in the power business reflect the expan sion ofelectric generating capacity.
Higher prices, expanded production, led to solid profits in Chilean copper operations.
Compania Minera Disputada reported record operating earnings, reflecting a re covery in the world copper market as well as a 30 percent increase in production from the company's two mines. Copper prices rose sharply in the second half of the year, due to tighter supplies resulting from a recent upsurge in demand growth coupled with reductions in the industry's producing capacity over the past decade
E Soldado mine doubled capacity. Development study under way at Australian property
Completion of a two-year expansion pro gram at El Soldado underground mine in Chile doubled the mine's annual copper production capability to 70,000 metric tons. Initial output from the expansion, which came onstream at midyear ahead of schedule and under budget, was above expectations. The company began a study assessing development of a zinc/copper deposit at Golden Grove in Western Australia, in which Exxon holds a 35 percent egtiity interest.
Hong Kang expansion ahead ofschedule. Earnings increased by 23 percent.
The expansion of electricity generating facilities operated in Hong Kong by China Light & Power Company continued ahead of schedule to keep pace with growing demand. The third of four 677-megawatt generators planned for the Castle Peak "B" station cameonstream just after year-end. Exxon holds a majority interest in the generating facilities. A 23 percent increase in earnings reflected Exxon's increasing investment in power generation in the Crown Colony.

Women ami minorities madefurther gains.
The percentage of minorities in Exxon's U.S. work force increased from 21.9 percent to 22.6 percent and the percentage of women grew from 24.4 to 25 percent, in spite of an overall reduction in the number of US. employees. At year-end, minorities held 10.3 percent of managerial jobs compared with 10.2 per cent a year earlier. Minority representation in professional jobs declined from 11.4 per cent to 11.3 percent. Managerial jobs held by women rose from 8.2 percent to 87 percent, while womens share of professional jobs increased from 18.6 percent to 18.8 percent.
Grants to nonprofit organizations totaled $52 million, including $40 million in the United States.
Exxon contributed $40 million to a wide variety of organizations and programs in
the United States, while affiliates abroad contributed $12 million in countries where they operate.
Support for education accounted for 53 percent of the US. total, including $19.6 mil lion in grant payments by the Exxon Educa tion Foundation. Of thatamount, $4 mil lion was awarded through the Foundation's Research andTraining Program. Research andTraining grants support college and university departments, schools and pro grams that are particularly successful in research and in training students in scientific, technical and business fields important to the petroleum and chemical industries. They also support efforts, at both the college and precollege levels, to im prove minority access to the business and engineering professions. Some 23 percent of US. contributions went to health, welfare and community ser vices. These included a $625,000, five-year grant to the National Urban League to sup port the Education Initiative, a program carried on by the League's 111 local affiliates to improve the educational prospects of minority youth in urban school systems. A $30,000 grant was made to the Fund for Aging Services to develop a model mental health curriculum, that can be used nation ally, which will provide seniors with the knowledge and skills to cope with the changes that accompany growing older. Another health grant was the $200,000 final installment on Exxon's $400,000 pledge to the Occupational Physicians Scholarship Fund; the grant aims to allevi ate the shortage of properly trained and skilled physicians in industry by awarding scholarships to prepare medical school graduates for careers in occupational medicine. An $85,000 grant to the World Wildlife Fund supports its conservation activities in Colombia The work includes development of a 1.2-million-acre nature reserve as a viable habitat for endangered species. A14 percent share of U.S. contributions went to support the arts and public tele vision programming, while 10 percent went to public information and policy research.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Review of 1987 Results
Net income--major change* from 1986 tueomotdornn
1987 net income of $4,840 million, $3.43 per share, com pared to $5,360 million, $3.71 per share, in 1986.
World crude oil prices firmed moderately during most of 1987, with some weakening in evidence Jate in the year. As a result, Exxon's average crude realizations were stronger than in 1986, and this factor, together with operating cost reductions, resulted in higher earnings from exploration and production operations. In addition, earnings from chemicals operations established an all-time record, reflecting stronger sales volumes and margins in most businesses.
However, earnings from refining and marketing operations were significantly below 1986, when unusually strong mar gins were in evidence for much of the year. Refined product margins were severely depressed during most of 1987 be cause increased supply costs were only partly recovered through higher product prices.
All operations benefited from sizable cost savings attrib utable to the 1986 corporate reorganization.
Revenue totaled $83,335 million, up 9 percent from $76,555 million in 1986, the result of higher petroleum prod uct realizations, strong chemicals sales, and foreign ex change translation effects. The absence of $2.0 billion of revenues associated with operations divested in 1986, pri marily Reliance Electric, partly offset these increases.
Crude oil and product purchases of $34,331 million rose 19 percent above 1986, chiefly reflecting higher 1987 crude price levels worldwide.
Combined operating and selling, general, and adminis trative expenses of $14.9 billion rose $0.5 billion. Aside from foreign exchange translation effects (estimated at close to $1 billion) and one-time restructuring gains ($0.5 billion) credited against 1986 expenses, such costs would have been lower, reflecting cost reduction measures and the ab sence of costs incurred by operations divested in 1986.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Earnings from U.S. exploration and production operations rose $621 million to $1,319 million, mainly on the strength of higher crude prices-and cost savings. However, natural gas prices and volumes were lower in the intensely competitive U.S. market. Net liquids production in the U.S. was essen tially unchanged as field declines in the lower-48 states off set increased Alaskan production.
Earnings from foreign operations of $2,448 million rose $86 million. Higher average crude prices and increased liq uids and natural gas production were the major positive factors. Liquids production increased substantially in Can ada, up 13 percent, and Australia, up 11 percent. Natural gas realizations, while rising toward the end of 1987, aver aged below 1986 for the year as a whole.
Exploration expenses declined $413 million to $818 mil lion, indicative of reductions in activity which began in 1986 as the industry environment changed.

Exxon's returns
Refining and Marketing Earnings from U.S. refining and marketing operations were $32 million compared to earnings of $478 million last year. Earnings from foreign refining and marketing operations fell $999 million to $457 million. Both the U.S. and foreign re duction resulted from lower margins in the first three quar ters of 1987 in comparison to the very strong results in 1986; fourth quarter margins were higher than in the pre vious year. Worldwide product sales volumes were un changed at 4,043 thousand barrels per day (kbd).
Chemicals Earnings from chemicals operations totaled $750 million, up $127 million in the U.S. and $153 million abroad. Strong de mand and tight industry production capacity in key sectors boosted sales volumes and margins in major markets, both in the U.S. and abroad. Foreign earnings also benefited from one-time tax adjustments.
Other Coal and minerals operations posted a loss of $38 million compared to a $12 million profit in the prior year. Principal factors were higher expenses related to the new Colombian coal mine and weakness in the international steam coal market. Favorable effects from expanded Chilean copper operations and an improved copper market provided a partial offset.
Earnings from Hong Kong power operations reached $162 million, an increase of $30 million, reflecting increased investment in expanded plant generating capacity.
Corporate and Financing Corporate and financing charges of $404 million compared to $551 million in 1986. Debt-related foreign exchange gains and elimination in 1987 of tax reserves related to certain for eign operations were partly offset by lower levels of capital ized interest and smaller gains from securities transactions.
Review of 1986 Results'
1986 net income of $5,360 million was $490 million, 10 per cent, higher than in 1985. Net income per share was $3.71, up 15 percent. The larger percentage increase was influ enced by treasury share purchases as average shares outstanding were reduced 4 percent.
1986 was a highly unsettled year in world oil markets. Crude prices dropped precipitously during the first quarter, and surplus capacity and excess supplies were in evidence during much of the year. Despite the unfavorable environ ment, Exxon net income reached a record $3.71 per share in 1986. Refining and marketing results were especially strong during the first half, and chemicals results were good throughout the period. All businesses benefited from steps taken in recent years to streamline operations. For the full year, these factors in combination compensated for the slippage in exploration and production earnings result ing from weak crude prices.
Revenue totaled $76,555 million, down 18 percent from $92,869 million in 1985 chiefly due to the lower price levels for crude, natural gas, and derived products. A 5 percent drop in natural gas sales volumes and absence of sales volumes of divested operations further reduced revenue. The impact of the weaker dollar on the translation of foreign currency revenues partly compensated for these factors.
Crude oil and product purchases of $28,876 million dropped 35 percent below the prior-year level primarily due to the sharp decline in crude oil prices.
Operating and selling, general, and administrative costs in total were down $87 million. The decline reflected savings related to prior restructuring and other efficiency steps, as well as 1986 one-time restructuring gains compared to net charges in 1985. The weakening of the dollar led to increased costs in dollar terms, as local currency costs translated into higher dollar equivalents.*
Restructuring Restructuring gains of $40 million in 1987 from several as set disposals compared to a gain of $233 million in 1986. The previous year's gains arose from the sale of Reliance Electric, the New York office building and Danish refining and marketing operations; charges associated with the corporate reorganization provided a partial offset.

Taxes Provision for worldwide income, excise, and other taxes and duties of $23.5 billion in 1987 increased $2.1 billion, or 10 percent. Income tax expense, both current and deferred, was $2.7 billion compared to $3.2 billion in 1986. The effective income tax rate declined from-42 percent to 41 percent.
Excise taxes and other taxes and duties increased by a combined $2.6 billion, 14 percent, traceable primarily to foreign exchange translation effects, as well as increased levies by some countries.
In reporting 1987 income taxes in this report, the com pany continued to apply the accounting practice which has been required in past years. In late December, 1987 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new guide line, FAS-96, which permits a new practice for 1987 and requires the new practice no later than 1989. The company expects to adopt the new practice in 1988 or 1989. If FAS96 had been implemented for 1987, the effect would have been to decrease net deferred tax balances and increase both net income and shareholders' equity by amounts possibly in excess of $1 billion. The company's liquidity and cash flow would not have been affected.
Provision for worldwide income, excise and other taxes and duties of $21.4 billion in 1986 was the same as in 1985. Income tax expense, both current and deferred, was $3.2 billion compared to $4.7 billion in 1985, and the effective income tax rate dropped from 52 percent in 1985 to 42 per cent in 1986. The primary reason was the decline in earn ings from relatively higher taxed exploration and production operations.
Excise taxes increased $0.2 billion. Other taxes and duties increased $1.4 billion, representing an increase of $2.0 billion abroad and a decline of $0.6 billion in the U.S. The overseas increase was traceable to the weaker dollar and increased levies by some countries as product prices fell. The domestic decline was primarily the result of lower wind-fall profits tax triggered by the decline in crude prices.
U.S. tax legislation increased 1986 tax expense by $210 million, reflecting excise taxes on the recapture of excess assets from major U.S. pension funds and loss of invest ment tax credits. The overall impact on future results
is not estimated to be substantial in relation to worldwide cash flow and earnings, aside from a one-time impact on earnings associated with future adoption of FAS-96, as previously described.
Capital and Exploration Expenditures In 1987 capital and exploration expenditures totaled $7.1 billion, down 1 percent from the $7.2 billion spent in 1986. Three major oil and gas acquisitions totaling $1.8 billion were completed in 1987, acquiring producing properties in the United States, Canada, and Australia, along with promising exploration acreage.
Excluding these acquisitions, capital and exploration expenditures for ongoing activities were down 25 percent from`1986 to $5.3 billion. While improved cost effectiveness and some reduction in activity were factors, the main reason for the lower spending level was the completion of several large projects in 1986.
Exploration and production expenditures, excluding the major acquisitions, were $3.3 billion versus $4.6 billion in 1986. The reduction was due mostly to lower project spend ing, with the 1986 completion of the large natural gas project in LaBarge, Wyoming, and reduced spending in Alaska. Spending in 1987 included acquisition of acreage, exploratory and development drilling, and enhanced oil recovery projects. Spending continued on major projects under way in Alaska, offshore California, Cold Lake, Alberta, the North Sea, Malaysia, and the Yemen Arab Republic.
Refining and marketing expenditures of $1.3 billion fell $0.3 billion from 1986. These expenditures were primarily for efficiency improvements and upgrading of refinery units, and continued modernization of retail marketing outlets.
Energy-related investments were 93 percent of world wide expenditures, predominantly in oil and natural gas. Chemicals expenditures of $0.3 billion accounted for an additional 4 percent of total spending.
Geographically, expenditures in the U.S. accounted for one-third of total spending, or $2.4 billion. In Europe and the Eastern Hemisphere, expenditures were $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Spending in Canada and other Western Hemisphere areas totaled $1.4 billion.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders of Exxon Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 26 through 36 present fairly the financial posi tion of Exxon Corporation and its subsidiary companies at December 31,1986 and 1987, and the results of their oper ations and the changes in their financial position for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1987, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Our examinations of these statements were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
153 East 53rd Street New York, New York February 29, 1988
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the supporting and supplemental material are the respon sibility of the management of Exxon Corporation.
Accounting principles underlying the financial statements are generally accepted in the United States. The financial statements are consistent with the guidelines of the International Accounting Standards Committee with minor exceptions.
1. Summary of accounting policies Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of those significant sub sidiaries owned directly or indirectly more than 50 percent.
Amounts representing the corporation's percentage inter est in the underlying net assets of less than majority-owned companies in which a significant equity ownership interest is held are included in "Investments and advances." The corporation's share of the net income of these .companies is included in the consolidated statement of income caption "Earnings from equity interests and other revenue."
Investments in all other companies, none of which is sig nificant, are included in "Investments and advances" at cost or less. Dividends from these companies are included in income as received.
Marketable securities Marketable securities are stated at the lower of cost or market.
unit of production method or the straight-line method. Unit of production rates are based on oil, gas'and other mineral . reserves estimated to be recoverable from existing facili ties. The straight-line method of depreciation is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, and the assets replaced are retired.
The corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method. Under this method, costs of productive wells and develop ment dry holes, both tangible and intangible, as well as productive acreage are capitalized and amortized on the unit of production method. Costs of that portion of un developed acreage likely to be unproductive, based largely on historical experience, are amortized over the period of exploration. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.
Income taxes Income taxes are reported on the basis of the deferral method. Financial Accounting Standard No. 96--Accounting for Income Taxes, issued in December 1987, requires an asset and liability approach. Exxon will adopt the new standard in 1988 or 1989, as permitted under the transition rules.
Inventories Crude oil, products and merchandise inven tories are carried at the lower of current market value or cost (generally determined under the last-in, first-out method-LlFO). Costs include applicable purchase costs and operating expenses, but not general and administrative expenses or research and development-costs. Inventories of materials and supplies are valued at cost or less.
Property, plant and equipment Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the
Foreign currency translation The "functional currency" for translating the accounts of the majority of foreign refining, marketing and chemical operations is the local currency. Local currency is also used for exploration and production operations that are relatively self-contained and integrated within a particular country, such as in Australia, Canada, "the United Kingdom, Norway and continental Europe. The IJ.S. dollar is used for operations in highly inflationary econ omies and in some exploration and production operations, primarily in Malaysia and the Middle East.

2. Miscellaneous financial information Cash included time deposits of $2,362 million at the end of 1986 and $1,444 million at the end of 1987.
Marketable securities at year-end 1986 were carried at cost, which was $1 million less than their fair market value. At year-end 1987, marketable securities were carried at their fair market value, which was $5 million below cost.
Estimated doubtful notes and accounts receivable were $151 million at the end of 1986 and $164 million at the end of 1987.
Accumulated depreciation and depletion totaled $28,602 million at the end of 1986 and $32,785 million at the end of 1987.
Research and development costs totaled $681 million in 1985, $616 million in 1986 and $524 million in 1987.
Aggregate foreign exchange transaction gains included in determining net income totaled $82 million, $67 million and $267 million for 1985, 1986 and 1987, respectively.
Interest capitalized in 1985,1986 and 1987 was $371 million, $431 million and $111 million, respectively.
Net income included $316 million in 1985 attributed to the sale of relatively low-cost crude and products obtained from drawdowns of LIFO inventory quantities. In 1986 and 1987
net income included a $25 million gain, and a $3 million loss, respectively; attributable to the combined effects of LIFO inventory accumulations and drawdowns. The aggre gate replacement cost of inventories was estimated to ex ceed their LIFO carrying values by $2,745 million and $3,107 million at December 31, 1986 and 1987, respectively.
3. Investments and advances Components of investments and advances were:
In less than majority-owned companies Carried at equity in underlying assets Investments Advances
Carried at cost or less
Long-term receivables and miscellaneous investments at cost or less

At December 31, 1986 and 1987, there were 1,813 million shares issued. Of the issued shares, 378 million shares at year-end 1986 and 434 million shares at year-end 1987
were held in treasury at a net cost of $7,936 million and $10,422 million, respectively. During 1986 and 1987, the company acquired for the treasury 29 million shares at a cost of $867 million and 58 million shares at a cost of $2,566 million, respectively.

6. Long-term debt At December 31, 1987, long-term debt consisted of $3,169 million due in U.S. dollars and $1,852 million representing the U.S. dollar equivalent at year-end exchange rates of amounts payable in foreign currencies. These amounts ex clude that portion of long-term debt, totaling $595 million, which matures within one year and is included in current liabilities.

During 1984, an affiliate issued at a discount $1,800 mil
lion of zero coupon notes due in 2004. The affiliate received $199 million as proceeds from these notes. No payment of interest is provided for by zero coupon notes. During 1986 and 1987, $557 million and $97 million (face amount), respectively, of these notes were purchased in the open market with $1,146 million remaining and payable to note holders at maturity. At December 31, 198fr and 1987, these notes were included in the United States dollars category of other consolidated subsidiaries as follows:

In 1982, debt totaling $515 million was removed from the balance sheet as a result of the deposit of U.S. Government securities in irrevocable trusts. The principal and interest of the securities deposited with the trustee were sufficient to fund the scheduled principal and interest payments of these Exxon debt issues. In 1987 the corporation placed an additional $172 million of government securities in the trusts. As a result of an improved matching of maturity elates between the government securities in the trusts and the corresponding Exxon debt, the addition of $172 milliocLof government securities permitted the removal of $240 million of debt from the balance sheet, and 1987 net income was increased by $40 million after tax. The balance of outstanding debt in these trusts at year-end 1987 was $704 million.

7. Annuity benefits Exxon and many of its affiliates have defined benefit retire ment plans which cover substantially all of their employees. Plan benefits are generally based on years of service and employees' compensation during their last years of employ ment. Benefits are paid from funds^previously provided to trustees and insurance companies, or are paid directly by the corporation or its affiliates and charged against book reserves. Contributions to plans are made in accordance with local laws and tax regulations. As of year-end 1987, ap proximately 70 percent of the funded assets for U.S. plans and approximately 55 percent of the funded assets for for eign plans were invested in equity securities. The remainder
was in fixed income securities. In the company's principal U.S. plan, covering most U.S.
employees, funds were provided to an insurance company to cover accrued obligations through August 12,1986. After making the necessary arrangements with the insurance company and satisfying other legal requirements, on August 13, 1986, the company withdrew $1.6 billion of surpl. from funded assets.
Charges to consolidated income for the cost of annuity plans were $115 million, $239 million and $184 million for the years 1985, 1986, and 1987, respectively. Net pension cost/(credit), annuity plans status and rate assumptions for 1986 and 1987 are detailed below:

8. Other post-employment benefits In addition to providing annuity benefits, the company and many of its affiliates provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Employees may become eligible for these benefits if they retire with annuitant status. These benefits are pravided primarily through payments to insurance companies, based on the benefits paid during the year. The company recognizes the cost of providing these benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums, which were $78 million in 1985, $90 million in 1986 and $94 million in 1987.

Minimum rental expense totaled $1,254 million in 1985, $1,021 million in 1986 and $818 million in 1987.
12. Dispositions During 1986, the corporation completed a number of asset dispositions, including the sale of Reliance Electric Com pany and other companies managed by Reliance, and the corporation's interest in the Exxon Building in New York City. The impact from these two dispositions was to in crease 1986 net income by $528 million.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities
This section provides historical revenue, cost, operating earnings and reserve information regarding Exxon's oil and gas exploration and production operations during 1985, 1986 and 1987. In the company's opinion, the information on earnings below, oil and gas reserves, pages 38 and 39, and
costs incurred and capitalized costs, page 40, provides more relevant information to assist in an evaluation of oil and gas operations than the information on standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), shown on page 41.

** Includes earnings related to transportation of oil and gas, sale of supplies from other sources, oil sands operations and technical services agree ments, and reduced by minority interests.
Oil and Gas Reserves* The following information describes changes during the years and balances of oil and gas reserves at year-end 1985, 1986 and 1987.
The definitions used are those developed by the Department of Energy for its FinanciaJ Reporting System and adopted by the FASB.
Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and oper ating conditions (that is, at year-end prices and costs). They include some reserves which may or may not be producible
within the lives of existing agreements. In some cases, substantial new investments in additional wells and related facilities will be required to recover these proved reserves.
Proved reserves include 100 percent of each majorityowned affiliate's participation in proved reserves and Exxon's ownership percentage of the proved reserves of equity companies, but exclude royalties and quantities due others when produced. Gas reserves exclude the gaseous equivalent of liquids expected to be removed from the gas on leases, at field facilities and at gas processing plants. These liquids are included in net proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids.

Net proved developed reserves are those volumes which are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Undeveloped reserves are those volumes which are expected to be recovered as a result of major future investments to drill new wells, to recomplete existing wells and/or to install facilities to collect and deliver the production from existing and future wells.
For year-end 1987 reporting, the company has elected to remove 7.8 trillion cubic feet of Prudhoe Bay natural gas reserves from the proved undeveloped category. Although geologically identified, these reserves are excess to local consumption and require a transportation system to addi tional markets. This change reflects no lessening of efforts to achieve timely development of this important resource, which the company is confident will occur in the future.
Reserves attributable to certain oil and gas discoveries in the U.S., Canada, Colombia, the U.K., the Netherlands, Norway, France, Germany, the Yemen Arab Republic, Chad, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and China were not considered proved as of year-end 1987 due to geological, technological or economic uncertainties and therefore are not included in the tabulation.
Crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas pro duction quantities shown are the net volumes withdrawn from Exxon's oil and gas reserves. The natural gas quan tities differ from the quantities of gas delivered for sale by the producing function as reported on page 43 due to volumes consumed or vented and inventory changes. Such quantities amounted to approximately 192 billion cubic feet in 1985, 202 billion cubic feet in 1986, and 214 billion cubic feet in 1987.

These and other tables, as noted, in this report do not include reserve, supply, cost and other data relating to Exxon's interest in the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) because the government of Saudi Arabia prohibits the .disclosure of confidential information under a, directive issued by the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources bearing Number 1030/Z. During 1980, the government acquired the beneficial interest in substantially all of Aramco's assets and operations. However, Aramco continues to have access to a significant volume of Saudi Arabian crude oil.

Costs incurred in 1986 were $3,792 million, down 45 per
in Note 13, on page 33, due to excluding from the capital cent from 1985 mainly due to lower activity caused by

Change in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves--Consolidated Affiliates In 1985, the standardized measure increased $873 million, mainly reflecting the value of reserves added during the
year and the effects of lower income taxes.
Value of reserves added during the year due to extensions, discoveries, other additions and improved recovery, less related costs
Changes in value of previous-year reserves due to: Sales and transfers of oil and gas produced during the year, net of production costs Development costs incurred during the year Net change in prices and costs Revision of previous reserves estimates Accretion of discount Other changes
Net change in income taxes
Total change in the standardized measure during the year
rf ''
In 1986, the standardized measure decreased $14,413 mil lion primarily due to lower worldwide crude prices, partially offset by lower taxes.
In 1987, the standardized measure increased by $2,505 million due principally to higher prices for crude oil and
. natural gas.
