N. Y. Having begun as a manufacturer of acetate yarn, Ceianese, together with its related
^
foreign companies, now manufactures and sells a diversified line ot fibers, chemicals, plastics and palm.
and industrial coalings. Most of the products are made by chemically processing and upgrading two
raw materials, wood pulp and petroleum derived hydrocarbons.
While most of Celanese's sales are to other manufacturers for use in a wide variety oi coasmner and Industrial products, paints and related products are sold both at wholesale and retail The term "Ceianese'' hereinafter means Ceianese Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries unless the context otherwise indicates. Ceianese Is also sometimes referred to herein as "the Registrant".

Tbe able below shows the per share income before extraordinary items contributed by each of tbe major product groups of Ceianese--fibers, chemicals, plastics, and coatings--over the past four years. Amounts attributable to operations divested in prior years are shown as "discontinued operations" ami include forest products and non-U.S. coatings operations through 1968 and petroleum operations through 1969.
Tbe income per share data by product group reflect allocated administrative and finsnring preferred dividends. Income before taxes is not shown because different operations have varying tax rates that have a significant effect on product profitability. In addition, minority interests are not tbe same far 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 tbe same reason, inmmr per share not be rested to product group sales, which are stated before minority interest.
In 1970, income per share from fibers operations amountrd to $223 and contributed 65 prr*nf of
Celanese's total. Tbe percentage contribution from the fibers upnifions has increased year from 1967^
Chemical operations contributed $1.00 or 28 percent of the trvaL Plastics contributed 27

In general Celanese's products, ir. 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 $3082 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.
Fibers
United States Operations
Fibers for apparel, home furnishings, industrial and other uses are divided into two broad categories:
oatural fibers such as wool and cotton, and man-made fibers. Man-made fibers are generally divided into
three sub-cutegories: cellulosic fibers derived from cellulose and consisting chiefiv of raran. acetate and triacetate fibers; non-ctiluiosic fibers derived from long chain polymers and consisting chiefly of polyester,
nylon and acrylic fibers; and other fibers manufactured from noo-fibroos natural materials such as glass.
Celanese produces a broad range of man-made fibers which *cc sold for a wide variety of end-uses.
Cellulosics. Cellulosic fibers are produced by Celanese principafly 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 erfle^ose fibers are:
Acetate Filament Yam--Celanese believes it is the workfs largest producer, accounting for approximately half of U. S. production. This fiber represents a substantial portion of Celanese fiber sales. Among the end uses are men's, women's and children's apparel, curtains, draperies and upholstery.
Triacetate Filament Yarn--Cefanrse is the only U. S. producer of this "ease of care" fiber introduced in 1955 under the trademark Ansel. Arnel is one of the major man-made fibers m the women's apparel field. Other principal uses are men's and children's appareL
Acetate Cigarette Filter Tow Celanese is one of two U. S- producers. AH major U. S cigarette-L" companies are customers of Obnear. Celanese and its subsidiaries are also major suppliers to world ' markets through mamiiacturing operations (licensed or owned) m seven mnigrirs and exports throughout the world.
-.........>:csa
i
X 'N
Other ceilulosic fibers manufactured by Ceianese are acetate and triacetate staple which are sold to customers who spin them into yam or use them for fiberfiH produces.
N&n-trliulories. Commencing in 1958 Ceianese has diversified its fiber operations by its entry into the ncn-ceUulosic field through its interest in Fiber Industries, Inc. {(&]&% owned by Ceianese. and yix/iJo by Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, ("I.C.1/*]). Ceianese markets ail fibers produced by Fiber Industries, Inc.
The nou'Ceilulosic product line includes: Polyester Textile Filament Yam--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 apparei and home furnishing fabrics.
Polyester Industrial Filament Yam--Fiber Industries, Inc is believed to be the largest supplier c; 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, polvcser industrial yarns are used for other end products such as belting and sewing thr^d
Poly/ster Staple--Of eight U. S. commercial scale producers Fiber Industries, Inc is believed to be the second largest. End uses include men's, women's and children's apparel fiberfiU products, home furnishings and industrial uses.
Polyester fiber is produced principally from chemicals purchased in the open market under contracts of varying periods and u marketed under the trademark FortreL
.VyIon 66 Yam--Nylon 66 is produced commercially by Fiber Industries, Inc and seven other companies in the U. S. and is used in apparel home furnishings, tire cord and other industrial products. Tlie chemical intermediates from which nylon 66 is manufactured an* furnished by a f>larw^j chemical plant (See Chemicals).
Other Products--In December 1970, Criancir announced expanded activity m the evaluation and tearing of man-made smoking material, with plans to build a semi-works production facility which will supplement research activities being carried out. Tbe trademark Cytrei has been registered to designate this smoking material, which has a cellulose base Although it is not now 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. Ceianese recognizes that the afaSty to atisfy human taste will 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. Ceianese
tbe major portion of its fibers and yarns directly to ruilZs and other
intermediate processors; nonetheless its indirect marketing, efforts extend oo a nationwide basis to eadb
level m tbe textile manufacturing and distribution system, through technical service, advertising and
promotion, to the ultimate consumer of the apparel and home furnishings made from soch fibers and
yarns. There is considerable price competition in most fiber products.
La addition to advertising, directed both to tbe trade and tc tbe ronsuiiiing puhfic,
.mWt.
market research and maintains constant communication with designers, cocrertera, fabricator! and retiilmTSSfc'
in order to anticipate and meet changes in fashion and popular taste. Ceianese produced fibers and jams
are further processed into a broad range of fabric textures and weights.

r.K.ixL. maintains development laboratories, which dnpliretr typical tezrile mill facilities, together with research, pilot and commercial scale facilities for derdopmest of new and improved fiber and yam products. Coordinated research, thorough testing of processing techniques and preparation of sample materials for mill customers are important factors in the marketing of its fibers and yarns.
Chemicals In 1945 Cdanese first entered the petrochemical fidd, primarily to obtain a supply of acetic add
and related chemical raw materials for its fiber operations. As this phase of die business expanded and additional products were developed, many chemicals produced were sold to faera 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 leading position in the technology of direct oxidation of hydro carbons. It produces and sells more than 90 individual products in the following broad classes of petrochemicals: acids, alcohols, aldehydes, anhydrides, esters, glycols. Intones, monomers, nylon raw materials and polyols. 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, vinyi annate and various acrylates, glycols and polyols. These chemicals are produced from different basic raw materials by several different processes. Such taw materials are purchased by Celanese on the open marlcrt and tinder contracts of varying periods. Raw material price fluctuations which may occur from time to time are not expected to have a material effect on the business of Celanese.
Direct sales efforts are supplemented by its technical service department which assists customers m utiliration 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 ftoricated products.
The plastic resins are: Acetal Copolymer--This high strength engineering plastic, a replacement for metals, evfw
plastics and other materials, is sold under the trademark Cefcrm. and has wide applications including automobile parts, appliances, plumbing fixtures, hardware, industrial and commtmicaQaa equipment and audio recording devices.

Oienceil Limited, a 57.1% owned consolidated Canadian sobodiary. has announced a drvestiuem/Autdimi g--
including th-ec major chemical facilities and has provided for antwpaied costs and losses by ao ezrraordisxary charge,
net of applicable income taxes, of Canadian $16.8 million to 1970 income. The CeUaese share, act of
is U. S.
$8J million. In addition., the Corporation has provided $6 million. after income taxes, /or lossm b
^-n with
shotdowri and disposal of its U. S. facilities for production oi polypropylene Soers and
grade
and
cellulosic molding resins.
Chemceil Limited has also substantially written down its 40% investment io UQHuvea Fibres
a
fiber manufacturer, and has reduced the carrying value of other minor inrestaom. TV Corporation's stare of
write-downs is $8.1 million.
The sale on January 5. 1970. of O.amplm Petroleum Company and Pondac Refining Corp. (petrutauu operations),
was effective as or December 31, 1969, and was reflected in the 1969 financial statements. Dmig 1969. petroletun opera
tions contributed $12.3 million to income before extraordinary items after giving effect to allocated fauww; and ***--^*-
utradve costs but before deduction of allocated preferred dividends, or SJS8 per share after
,11^^
preferred dividends.
The gain on the sale of the Pondac 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 pities at
December 31. 1969, totaled 522.7 million. This amount, commonly described as "goodwiir, represented the
difference between the acquisition cost of use shares of certain consolidated subsidiaries aad 'he
book vahx
oi the shares when acquired and was based on the amicipadoe u profits in excess of a normal return on mmmioiii.
The anticipated above normal return an investments in these subsidiaries had not been realized, and amgenest believed
such returns could not be expected in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, remaining goodwill, $Z2J
charged to 1969 income as an extraordinary item.
Prior to 1968. it was the policy of the forest products group to defer preoperating casts **^*H with the construe-
lion 01 new facilities and to amortize these expenditures over z five-year period sorting at the tin the new
became fully operational. Li 1968, this policy was changed so that the prcoperacag costs are charged to
? as
incurred. As a resalt of this change in accounting principles, preoperadng coos incuned and deferred prior to 1968
were written off as an extraordmay charge to income of $1L8 millioo io 1968. Had the former policy been
jrwnm* before extraordinary items would have been increased by $L6 tmllioa in 1961
(F) Based on weighted average number of shares outstanding during eadt year after giving effect to dares issued m regard to poolings of interests and after providing for aO preferred drridods. Fully ditatal iwww. ^ start was determined by giving appropriate effect to shares that may be issued for (filutrve sanck opooos mxi shares that Buy be iv"--1 upon eoovcrtioo of the convertible debattura and preferred stack.
Net income in 1967 declined by $7-3 million from 1966, principally as a resalt of import rnn
in the fanaHian textile market and a continuing depression in world pulp prices combined with labor and
start-up problems at certain facilities of Columbia Cellulose. A further reduction in tnrrn of $1.5 mfllwm
rx-rniTvd in 1968 because of an eight-week strike at three fiber plants, losses in forest
operations, -
and the 10% tax surcharge.
Income before extraordinary items declined by $25J m3Boo for 1970 as compared to 1969. The 1970
earnings were adversely affected by reduced automotive business, continued softness in the economy and
sharply increased costs. Most of the decrease in sales was a result of the divestiture of the petroleum
operations. Dividends, interest and other income for 1970 was $133 nrillioa ora-1969 principally
of the interest earned on the proceeds irom the ale of the petroleum operations. A qrfwfawtH asxxznt^.
of the proceeds was invested in bonds, the interest on which was tax exempt.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Celanese Corporation:
We have examined tbe financial statements of Celanese Corpo ration and of Celanese Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. Our examination mas made in accordance with generally accepced 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 1969 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, excepc for the change in I960, which we approve, in the method of accounting for preoperating expenses (see note G 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.
