ITEM 1 BUS DIESS.
CVlarv^f incorporated in Delaware in 1918, has executive ofikn at 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. Having begun as a manufacturer of acetate yarn, Celanese, together with its related dmiffflk, foreign companies, now manufactures and sells a diversified line of fibers, chemials, plastics ***d patf| and industrial coatings. Most of the products are made by chemically processing and upgrading two basic raw materials, wood pulp and petroleum derived hydrocarbons.
While most of Celanese's sales are to other manufacturers for esc m a wide variety of coosomer and industrial products, paints and related products are sold both at wholesale and retail. The term "Ceianese" hereinafter mn Celanese Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries unless the cnrtwrx otherwise indicates. Celanese is also sometimes referred to herein as "the Registrant".
For f*rh qf the years 1967 through 1970, sales volume of the base product lines of Celanese were:

The table below shows the per share income before extraordinary items contributed by each of the major product groups of Celanese--fibers, chemicals, plastics, and coatings---over the past four years. Amounts attributable to operations divested in prior years are shown as "(hscontizxned operations** and include forest products and non-U.S. coatings operations through 1968 and petroleum operations through 1969.
Tbe income per share dara by product group reflect aUocafrd administrative and financing costs ^
preferred dividends. Income before taxes is not shown because different operations have varying tax rates
that have a significant effect on product profitability. In adrttfinn, minority interests are not the same for
each product group and income before minority interest does oat, therefore, reflect each product group's
contribution to Celanese's total income per share. For the sane reason, income per share

In 1970, income per share from fibers operations amountrd to $2.28 and contributed 65 |wmm of
Celanese's total The percentage contribution from the fibers operations has increased each year from 1967.
Chemical operations contributed $1.00 or 28 percent of the total. Plastics contributed 27 rwm per shve

In general Celanese's products, in each of its basic product lines, are sold in highly competitive markets. During the two year period 1969-1970, Celanese made capital expenditures of approximately $308.2 million. Most of these expenditures were for the purpose of increasing productive capacity. Due pri marily to the recent economic slowdown capacity was in excess of 1970 sales volume.
Fiber*
UrrrrXD States Opxxaxiorts
Fibers for apparel, home furnishings, industrial and other uses are divided into two broad categories: natural fibers such as wool and cotton, and man-made fibers. Man-made fibers are generally divided into
three sub-categories: cellnlosic fibers derived from cellulose and mndsring chiefly of raron. arrratr and triacetate fibers; non-cellulosic fibers derived from long chain polymers and consisting chiefly of polyester,
nylon and acrylic fibers; and other fibers manufactured from non-fibrous natural materials such as glass.
Celanese produces a broad range of mao-made fibers which are sold for a wide variety of end-uses.
Celluloiics. Cellulose fibers are produced by Celanese principally from acetic add supplied by Celanese's chemical plants and wood pulp purchased from Columbia Cellulose Company, Limited under long-term contract (see Other Foreign Investments) and from others. The principal crifalosic fibers are:
Acetate Filament Yam--Celanese believes it is the world's largest producer, accounting for approximately half of U. S. production. This fiber represents a substantial paction of Celanese fiber sales. Among the end uses are men's, women's and children's apparel, curtains, draperies and upholstery.
i
Triacetate Filament Yarn--Celanese is the only U. S. producer of this "ease of cart'' fiber introduced in 1955 under the trademark And. Arad is one of the major man-made fibers in tbe women's apparel field. Other principal uses arc men's and children's appareL
'
Acetate Cigarette Filter Taw--Celanese is one of two U. S. producers. AD major U. S. cigaretted-1;. companies are customers of Celanese. Celanese and its subsidiaries are also major suppliers to world ^ markets through man'iiacxuring operations (Ecensed or owned) in seven countries and exports ^ V throughout the world.
i L
\.
Other ceUuiosic fibers manufactured by Celanese are acetate and triacetate staple which are sold to customers who spin them into yarn or use them for fibetfiU products.
Non-cellulosics. Commencing in 1958 Celanese has diversified its fiber operations by its entry into the non-cellulosic field through its interest in Fiber Industries, Inc. (62'/,% owned by Celanese, and 37yifi bf Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, ["LCL"]). Celanese markets all fibers produced by Fiber Industries, Inc
The non-cellulosic product line includes: Polyester Textile Filament Yarn--Fiber Industries, Inc is believed to be the second largest
ot eight U. S. commercial producers of this textile yam. Polyester textile filament yam is the fastestgrowing product in the total U. S. fiber market. Major end uses include a wide variety of knitted and woven apparel and home furnishing fabrics.
Polyester Industrial Filament Yam--Fiber Industries, Inc is believed to be the largest supplier e: polyester tire yam which has taken over the major share of the U. S. original equipment market and constitutes a substantial part of the replacement tire market for passenger cars. In addition polyester industrial yams are used for other end products such as belting and sewing thread.
Polyester Staple--Of eight U. S. commercial scale producers Fiber Industries, Inc is believed to be the second largest. End uses include men's, wootm's and children's apparel, SberfiB products, home furnishings and industrial uses.
Polyester fiber is traduced principally from chemicals purchased in the open market under contracts of varying periods and marketed under the trademark Fortrd.
Nylon 66 Yam--Nylon 66 is produced commercially by Fiber Industries, Inc and seven other companies in the U. 5. and is used in apparel, home furnishings, arc cord and other industrial products. The chemical intermediates from which nylon 66 is manufactured are furnished by a Celanese chemical plant (See Chemicals).
Other Products--In December 1970, Celanese announced expanded activity in the evaluation and testing of man-made smoking material, with plans to boBd a semi-works production fadHty which wiD supplement research activities being carried out. The trademark Cytrel has been registered to designate this smoking material, which has a cellulosic base. Although it is not ouw being marketed commercially, the material has been made available for evaluation by cigarette manufacturers throughout the world and also has had some limited test marketing outside of the U. S. Celanese recognises that the afaiSty to satisfy human taste wil! be a vital factor in the consumer acceptance of this product. Patent applica tions have been filed for the purpose of protecting inventions developed through research in smoking materials over more than 10 years.
Marketing. Celanese sells the major portion of its fibers and yarns directly to ndls and other intermediate processors; nonetheless its indirect marketing efforts ealnad on a nationwide basis to each level in the textile manufacturing and distribution system, through technical service, advertising and / promotion, to the ultimate consumer of the apparel and home furnishings made from snch fibers and yarns. There is considerable price competition in most fiber products.

mainuins development laboratories, which dnplkafr topical textile miO facilities. together with research, pilot and commercial scale facilities for development of new lad improved fiber and yarn products. Coordinated research, thorough testing of processing techniques and preparation of sample materials for mill customers are important factors in the imitating of its fiben and yarns.
Chemicals
In 1945 Celanese first entered the petrochemical field, primarily to obtain a supply of acetic add and related chemical raw materials for its fiber operations. As this phase of the business expanded and additional products were developed, many chemicals produced were sold to others. During 1970, Celanese sold approximately 70% of its chemical production externally, with the remaining 30% being further processed into fibers, plastics and coatings.
Celanese believes it occupies a lrad;-g position in the technology of direct oxidation of hydro carbons. It produces and sells more ihan 90 individual products in the following broad classes of petrochemicals: acids, alcohols, aldehydes, anhydrides, esters, glycols, krmnes. monomers, nylon raw materials and poiyols. These chemicals are used in the manufacture of a wide range of consumer and industrial products, including adhesives, paints, surface coatings, building materials, detergents, fad additives, lubricants, leather coatings, paper, pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber and man-made fibers.
Celanese produces, sells and uses in volume each of its principal chemicals, including acetic add, methanol, butanol, acetaldehyde, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, vinyl acetate and various acrylates, glycols and polyols. These chemicals are produced from different basic raw materials by several different processes. Such raw materials are purchased by Celanese on the open market and under contracts of varying periods. Raw material price fluctuations which may occur from time to time are not expected In have a material effect on the business of Celanese.
Direct sales efforts are supplemented by its technical service deparuuuX which assists customers in utilisation of established chemicals as well as supporting development of uses for newly produced chemicals.
Plastics
The plastics products of Celanese consist of resins and fabricated or partially fabricated products. The plastic resins are:
Acetal Copolymer--This high strength engineering plastic, a replacement for metals,
plastics and other materials, is sold under the trademark Ceksn, and has wide applications including
automobile parts, appliances, plumbing fixtures, hardware, industrial ad iwinniininni-. equipment
and audio recording devices. Broad acceptance has been

(87 million. In addition., the Corporation has provided (6 million. after income taxes, tor losses in >* with

ChemceU Limited has also substantially written down its 40% mvestmeat m bfQBuvcs Fibres
a
fiber manufacturer, and has reduced the carrying vaJae of other minor investments. The Corporation's siure of these
wrtte-downs is $8.1 million.
The uie on January 5, 1970, of Champlm Pctroletan Company and Pontiac Refining Carp, (petroleum operations),
was effective as of December 51. 1969. and was reflected in the 1969 financial uatenaxz. Dtu-ing 1969. petroktan opoa-
dons contributed (12.3 miilioa to income before extraordinary items after giving effect to allocated E.m- g and in.
utrabve costs but before deduction of allocated preferred dividends, or (38 per share after
of allcatti
piefq'fed dividends.
The gain on the sale of the Pontiac Refining Corp. was reduced by the excess of cost of investment over related equity ia this company. (11.4 million. The remaining excess of cost of investments over related eqvitiq at December 31. 1969, totaled (227 million. This amount, commonly described as "goodwST, repmeiHrd the differoce between the acquisition cost of uie shares of certain consolidated subsidiaries and the rnm i|wwlini book value of the shares when acquired and was based on the anbeipatioo u profits in excess of a normal ream on mvestnots. The anticipated above normal tetnrn on investments is these subsidiaries had not been realised, aal --agemeut briieved soch feturas could not be expected m the foreseeable future. Accordingly, remaining goodwill, $227 --in*" ^ charged to 1969 income as an extraordinary item.
Prior to 1968. it was the policy of the forest products group to defer preoperating casts associated with the construc tion of new facilities and to amortize these expenditures over a five-year period starting at the time the new became fully operational, la 1968, this policy was changed so that the preoperaring costs are rhiign] to expoise as incurred. As a resolt of this change in accounting principles, pccupcraong costs iucmied and deferred prior to 1968 were written off as an extraordxnay charge to mcome of (153 million m 1968. Had the former poBcj beat ~nntinm iT.
before extraordinary items would have bees increased by (L6 unllioc in 1961
(F) an weighted average number of shares outstanding during cadi year after giving effect to sharm issoed in regard to poolings of interests and after providing for all preferred dividends. Fully diluted mcome pc dare was deterudned by giving appropriate effect to shares that may be issued for diimjve stock options and shares that may be issued upon conversion of the convertible debentmts and preferred stock.
\
i ;
Net income in 1967 declined by $7.3 million from 1966. principally as a resolt of import irmpnitwi in the Canadian textile market and a continuing depression in world palp pries combined with labor H start-up problems at certain facilities of Columbia. Cellulose. A further reduction in i^i-- of $1-5 million iKTuimt in 1968 because of an eight-week strike at three fiber plants, losses in forest products operations, and the 10% tax surcharge.
Income before extraordinary items declined by $25J nriBon for 1970 as compared to 1969. The 1970 ' *\' 5-V.4' ~
.earnings were adversely affected by reduced automotive business, continued softness in the economy and f. ' ?
sharply increased costs. Most of the decrease in sales was a result of the divestiture of the petml#iiin . i- _ --
operiuonj. Dividends, interest aid other income for 1970 was $13.8 miilioa over 1969 prinripaDy lw..... . ;
of the interest earned on the proceeds from the sale of the petroleum operations. A substantial amoon
of the proceeds was invested in bonds, the interest on which was tax rrrcnpt.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Celanese Corporation:
We have examined the financial statements of Celanese Corpo ration and of Celanese Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. Our examination urns 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.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly the financial position at December 31, 1970 and 1?69 and the results of operations, and source and application of funds for the years then ended of Celanese Corporation and the financial position at December 31, 1970 and 1969, the results of operations for the five years ended December 31, 1970 and the source and application of funds for the three years ended December 31, 1970 of Celanese Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries, all in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such principles have been applied on a consistent basis, except for the change in 1968, which we approve, in the method of accounting for preoperating expenses (see note E to consolidated statement of income). Also, in our opinion, the supporting schedules as listed in the accompanying index present fairly the information set forth therein.

(1) Principle of Consolidation and Related Matters
The consolidated financial statements indude the accounts of the Corporation and all rig"**"-*"* subsidiaries in vhich the Corporation owns in cxcru of 50% of the voting stock, with the exception at December 31, 1970, of Columbia Cellulose Company, limited, and at December 31, 1969, of Oamptin Petroleum Company and Pontiac Refining Corp-, the treatment of woJs is more folly drsrribed in note 3 below and note E w the consolidated statement of income. All material iatercompasy transactions are eliminated.
The accounts of non-CJ.S. subsidiaries axe translated to U.5. dollars based on the
or free rates
of exchange applicable in the circumstances. Current assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of
exchange in effect at the end of each year. All non-current assets and liabilities are translated at rates
prevailing when acquired or incurred. Income and expense accounts are translated on the basis of approri-
mate average exchange rates for each year, except that depredation is translated at historical rates.
Unrealized foreign exchange gains ami losses, insignificant m amount, have been mrinded in dividends,
interest and other income.

Inventories, generally, are valued at standard costs that approximate current prediction casts and are not valued in excess of market. Inventory values are stated after deducting an allowance fat obsolescence and do not include depredation of plant and equipment
(3) Investment* and Advances

The sale on January 5,1970, of Champtin Petrolenm Company and Pontiac Refining Corp. (petroleum
operations), was effective as of December 31, 1969, and was reflected in the 1969 dull proceeds of $120 millioa received oa January 5, 1970, were inefarird m nurUjKU

Undistributed income of non-U.5. subsidiaries was $21-3 million at December 31, 1970 ($30-5 at December 31, 1969) on which do provision for U.S. income taxes had been made. Management believes that such taxes on income that may be distributed would not be significant.
Under the Corporation s program to divest itself of certain non-U-S. operations, all tiabifioes
associated with the disposition of SIACE wtre discharged during 1969 for amounts less than anticipated.
Also, the Corporation sold its investments in the British Paints group and Kooam, N.V. During 1970,
certain tax benefits were recognized and provision was made for loss on divestment of certain European
textile operations (see note E to the consolidated statement of income). The allowance for
$3LS
X* million, at December 31, 1970, is considered adeqiate to cover possible future losses.
