ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Celanese Corporation:
We have examined the financial statements of Celanese Corporation and of Celanese Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the account ing records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We made a similar examination of the 1968 financial statements and our opinion thereon was subject to the possible reduction of the 1968 extraordinary provision for losses by future tax benefits, if any. (See note 10 of notes to financial statements.)
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly the financial position at December 31, 1969 and the results of operations for the year then ended of Celanese Corporation and of Celanese Corporation and consolidated sub sidiaries, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year; and the supporting
schedules, in our opinion, present fairly the information set forth therein.

Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Principles of Consolidation and Related Hatters
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and all significant subsidiaries in which the Corporation owns in excess of 507. of the voting stock with the exception of Champlin Petroleum Company, Pontiac Refining-Corp., and Columbia Cellulose Company the treatment of which is more fully described in notes 2 and 13. All material inter-company transactions are eliminated.
The accounts of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars based on the official or free rates of exchange app icable in che 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 approximate average exchange rates for each year, except that depreciation :s translated at historical rates. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, insignificant in amount, have been included in Other Income - Miscellaneous.
(2) Extraordinary Items Extraordinary items include:
Gain on sale of petroleum operations, net of taxes of $30.2 million
Excess of Cost of Investments Over Related Equities
(in millions) 1969
$ 25.9
(22.7)
The sale of Champlin Petroleum Company and Pontiac Refining Corp. (petroleum operations), effective December 31, 1969, was completed on January 5, 1970, and has been reflected in the 1969 financial statements. Cash proceeds of $120 million received on January 5, 1970, are included in Marketable Securities. Additional proceeds of $120 million, payable in three equal annual installments beginning in 1971, are included in Investments and Advances - Other. Petroleum operations contributed $12.3 million to income before extraordinary items in 1969, after giving effect to allocated financing and administrative costs but before deduction of allocated preferred dividends.
The gain on the sale of the Pontiac Refining Corp. was reduced by the excess of cost of investment over related equity in this company, $11.4 million. The remaining Excess of Cost of Investments Over Related Equities at December 31, 1969, totaled $22.7 million. This amount, commonly described as "goodwill", represented the difference between the acquisition cost of the shares of certain consolidated subsidiaries and the corresponding book value of the shares when acquired and was based on the anticipation of profits in excess of a normal return on investments. The anticipated above-normal return on investments in these-sub sidiaries has not been realized, and management believes such returns cannot be expected in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, remaining goodwill, $22.7 million, has been charged to 1969 income as an extraordinary item.

'.Then facilities are retired or otherwise disposed of, cost is removed from the asset accounts and charged or credited, after the application of the sales or other salvage realization, to the related depreciation reserve. Dismantling and demolition costs are charged to depreciation reserves. The accumulated reserves for depreciation are deemed adequate to provide for all losses on abandonment or retirement of facilities.
(6) Deferred Charges
Preoperating costs are expensed as incurred rather than deferred. The cost of purchased patents is amortized over the economic lives of the patents.

The debt instruments contain various restrictions and covenants relating to creation of funded debt and payment of dividends. As to the Corporation, the most restrictive of these provide that (a) no funded debt may be created unless at Che time, and after giving effect thereto, consolidated net tangible assets, as defined, are at least two times the outstanding consolidated funded debt, and (b) no dividends or other payments, other than dividends payable in stock of the Corporation, may be made with respect to Coranon Stock unless at the time, and after giving effect thereto, consolidated working capital, as defined, would be not less than $100 million, and the consolidated net income subsequent to December 31, 1964, plus $75 million shall exceed the aggregate amount of dividends or other stock payments made after that date. The effect of this restriction at December 31, 1969, is to limit the amount of retained income available for such payments to approximately $116.7 million.
Assets of certain consolidated subsidiaries aggregating approximately $573 million are pledged to secure long-term debt of those companies.
The 47. Convertible Subordinated Debentures of the Corporation are convertible into Common Stock at the rate of one share of Common Stock for each $96 of principal, subject to adjustment in certain events.

(10) Income Taxes
For income tax purposes, depreciation and certain other income and expense items are calculated using methods Chat result in taxable income amounts that differ from the amounts reported in the financial statements. Income taxes payable in future years, as a result of these differences, are provided for as deferred income taxes.
The investment tax credit is reflected in income as a reduction in the provision for income taxes over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Possible income tax benefits related to losses provided for in 1968 in connection with divestment of certain non-U.S. operations are presently indeterminable and have not been reflected,in the accounts.
(11) Retirement Income Plans
The Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries have various retirement plans covering substantially all employees.
Effective January 1, 19o9, che Retirement Income Plan was amended to provide for funding solely with contributions by che Corporation. For 1969, charges to operations under the various plans aggregated $10 million ($5.7 million as to the Corporation), including, as to certain plans, interest on unfunded actuarial liabilities. If the Plan had not been amended as of January 1, 1969, total cost for all plans would have been $6.6 million. Retirement costs are funded as accrued. Based on actuarial determinations, the retirement plans are fully funded with respect to all vested benefits. In 1969, certain assumptions used in the actuarial calculations of annual cost were adjusted to reflect more accurately the Corporation's current and expected experience. The revised assumptions had no effect on 196S retirement cost.
Based on the entry age level premium actuarial cost method of determining the principal retirement plan's financial status, there is an unfunded actuarial liability of approximately $23.8 million. The unfunded actuarial liability applicable to other retirement plans was estimated to be approximately $5.5 million at December 31, 1969.
(12) Commitments
At December 31, 1969, there are commitments of $35 million (Corporation $14.2 million) for acquisition of facilities, and $5.5 million for investment in a subsidiary. Also, as of February 24, 1970, investments in other operating companies may be required, under certain circumstances, to a maxiaua of $3.3 million.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
The Corporation has agreed to provide a subsidiary of Columbia Cellulose and certain other subsidiaries with funds for working capital purposes, if and when required, to a maximum amount of $70 million in exchange for notes or shares of stock.
The Corporation has agreed to purchase or obtain orders for products of a subsidiary and a subsidiary of Columbia Cellulose at prices that will enable the subsidiary to pay, when due, all items of cost and enable the subsidiary of Columbia Cellulose to pay, when due, 607. of all items of cost. Cost is defined to include amounts sufficient to permit the payment of current installments of principal and interest on certain long-term debt. The long term debt at December 31, 1969, was $108.5 million as to the subsidiary and $40 million as to the subsidiary of Columbia Cellulose.
Certain laboratory and office premises, terminal facilities, tank cars and retail outlets are leased. Minimum annual rentals (excluding taxes, insurance and other expenses that are payable under certain leases) relating to such property under lease at December 31, 1969, amount to approximately $6.6 million. Most of these leases extend over various periods up to 1989, and it is expected that in the normal course of operations they will be extended or replaced.
(13) Subsequent Event
On February 10, 1970, a wholly-owned subsidiary, CelEuro, N.V., purchased 4171 of the shares of the common stock of Columbia Cellulose Company, Limited, owned by Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget in consideration for the issuance of a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $22.7 million (fully guaranteed by Celanese Corporation). The transaction increases the Corporation's interest in Columbia Cellulose to 91.37.. The accounts of Columbia Cellulose will not be consolidated because of the Corporation's intention to divest its interest. The working capital and products agreements, as described previously, continue in effect, except that the latter agreement has been amended, effective January 1, 1970, to provide that the Corporation will ern le subsidiary of Columbia Cellulose to pay, when due,100% of all item* o' cr> t
