Item 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS
On March 31, 1995, Union Carbide Corporation ("UCC") acquired 50%
of the equity of Polimeri Europa S.r.l. ("PE"), a joint venture
company. EniChem S.p.A. ("EniChem") retained the other 50% of the
equity in PE. In anticipation of UCC's acquisition of its equity
interest, EniChem had transferred to PE all of its polyethylene
business, excluding its wire and cable compounds business. The
purchase price for UCC's 50% share of the joint venture's equity
was DM323,000,000, and was determined by arms-length negotiations
between UCC and EniChem.
The joint venture's business includes polyethylene production and
research and development facilities in Italy, Germany and France,
ethylene steam crackers in Italy and France, EniChem's
polyethylene resin technology, and EniChem's polyethylene sales
activities. The venture also holds a non-exclusive license of
UCC's UNIPOL technology. The shareholders intend to use the joint
venture's assets to continue to operate the polyethylene business.
The purchase price was paid in full at the closing, and was funded
through a portion of the proceeds of the January 1995
recapitalization of UCAR International Inc. and operating cash
flows.
This description of UCC's acquisition of a 50% interest in the
joint venture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of February 9, 1995, as
amended by letter agreement dated March 31, 1995, between EniChem
S.p.A. and Union Carbide Corporation, a copy of which is incorporated
by reference as an exhibit to this report.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.
The financial statements of Polimeri Europa S.r.l. included herein were
prepared on a combined basis from the books and records of EniChem S.p.A. as
if the joint venture had been in existence since January 1, 1994. There is no
assurance that PE's financial position at December 31, 1994 or its results of
operations for the year then ended would have been the same as those reflected
in these combined financial statements if the joint venture had actually been
in existence in 1994. Furthermore, these financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of PE's future results of operations or financial
position.
The following financial statements of PE are presented herein:

1 Basis of presentation
In February 1995, ENICHEM S.p.A. ("ENICHEM"), a company incorporated in Italy,
and UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION, a company incorporated in the United States of
America, signed an agreement for a joint venture in the polyethylene sector.
The joint venture was named POLIMERI EUROPA S.r.l. (the "joint venture").
This agreement provides for the contribution by ENICHEM of its polyethylene
operations in Italy, France and Germany to the joint venture.
The joint venture formally commenced activity on 1 February 1995.
These combined financial statements present the combined results of the
companies and of the operations ("the entities") to be contributed to the
joint venture by ENICHEM S.p.A. prepared from the financial statements of the
entities specified below on the basis of the accounting principles and
policies stated in note 2.
The combined financial statements include the financial statements of:
- POLIMERI EUROPA S.r.l. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENICHEM);
- ENICHEM's polyethylene operations (including the Brindisi, Priolo, Gela,
Ragusa and Ferrara production sites, and excluding the Porto Torres and

2 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Cash and cash equivalents
All highly liquid debt instruments with original maturity of three months or
less are considered cash equivalents.
2.2 Notes and accounts receivable
Receivables are booked at net realisable value.
2.3 Transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates ruling
at the date of the operations.
Receivables and payables in foreign currencies are stated in lire using the
exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Any gains or losses arising
from this adjustment are reflected in the income statement.
Foreign currency receivables and payables covered by hedging operations are
stated using the exchange rate used for such operations. They are also
adjusted to reflect the renewing and/or closing of such operations.
2.4 Inventories
Inventories, including spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the average weighted cost method for all inventories.
Market is determined as replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and as
net realisable value for semifinished and finished products.
Goods and services which are acquired from other operations of ENICHEM are
recorded at internal transfer prices which are substantially equivalent to
market prices.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by
the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to
current operations. Expenditures for major replacements and betterments are
capitalized.
2.6 Goodwill
Goodwill has been classified in property plant and equipment net and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
2.7 Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
2.8 Notes and accounts payable
Notes and accounts payable are stated at nominal value.
2.9 Other long-term obligations
Other long-term obligations are stated at the contractual value.
2.10 Long term debt
Long term debt is stated at nominal value. Accrued interest is included in
'Accrued liabilities'.
- 9 -
2.11 Employees leaving entitlements
The amount booked to 'Employees leaving entitlements' corresponds to the
actual debt of the joint venture vis-a-vis their own employees for obligations
accrued at year-end, according to law ruling in each country in which the
joint venture have employees.
2.12 Capital grants
Capital grants are not recognised until there is a reasonable assurance that
the entities have complied with the conditions attaching to them and that the
entities will actually receive the grants.
2.13 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer and no significant uncertainties
exist regarding the terms of the sale; such moment is usually identified as
when upon delivery of the goods ownership passes.
2.14 Taxation
Current income taxes are recorded at the amount expected to be payable to the
authorities, based on prevailing rates.
Deferred taxes are recorded in the provision for income taxes at the current
tax rates for temporary differences which are expected to result in a
liability, and are adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates; likewise,
deferred tax assets are recorded under other receivables in the current assets
when income taxes have been prepaid in respect of temporary differences.
Deferred taxes are not accounted for when there is reasonable evidence that
the timing differences will not reverse for at least three years or, upon
reversal after this period, will not result in the payment or recovery of
income taxes.
Tax benefits from tax losses carried forward are only credited to income in
the year in which they are utilised.
The special taxation on shareholders' equity of the Italian Group companies is
charged against income.
2.15 Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs,
arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other
sources are recorded when the amount of the assessment and/or remediation cost
is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

4 Reconciliation to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United
States of America
The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the combined financial
statements (ENI GAAP) vary in certain respects from those generally accepted
in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The only differences which had a material effect on the net loss and on the
net assets are the following:
Income taxes
As explained in note 2.14, the combined financial statements does not provide
for deferred taxes relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses
carried forward.
- 14 -
Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States require that
deferred tax assets and liabilities be computed annually for those differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities which
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted
tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
The unaudited pro forma information presented in this section for the
year ended December 31, 1994 is derived from UCC's audited consolidated
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994. The unaudited pro
forma information presented in this section for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 is derived from UCC's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of
income for the three months ended March 31, 1995, which includes all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) that, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such data.
The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes
only and does not purport to represent what UCC's results of operations would
have been if the events described therein had occurred on the dates specified,
nor are they intended to project UCC's results of operations for any future
period. The unaudited pro forma information should be read in conjunction
with UCC's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are
contained in UCC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994 and in UCC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 1995.
In the first quarter of 1995, UCC acquired 50% of the equity of Polimeri
Europa, S.r.l., a joint venture company, and reduced its 50 percent interest
in UCAR International Inc. ("UCAR"). Both of these transactions are reflected
in UCC's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1995 included in
UCC's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1995. A description
of each of these transactions and of their related pro forma effects on UCC's
income statements for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 follows.
(1) Polimeri Europa Equity Acquisition
On March 31, 1995, UCC acquired 50% of the equity of Polimeri Europa,
S.r.l., a joint venture company. EniChem S.p.A. retained the other 50% of the
equity in PE. In anticipation of UCC's acquisition of its equity interest,
EniChem had transferred to PE all of its polyethylene business, excluding its
wire and cable compounds business. The purchase price for UCC's 50% share of
the joint venture's equity was DM323,000,000, and was determined by arms-
length negotiations between UCC and EniChem.
The joint venture's business includes polyethylene production and
research and development facilities in Italy, Germany and France, ethylene
steam crackers in Italy and France, EniChem's polyethylene resin technology,
and EniChem's polyethylene sales activities. The venture also holds a non-
exclusive license of UCC's UNIPOL technology. The shareholders intend to use
the joint venture's assets to continue to operate the polyethylene business.
If this acquisition had occurred effective January 1, 1994, UCC's share
of net income from corporate investments carried at equity and net income -
common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1994 would have decreased
less than $1 million.
During the first quarter of 1995 PE experienced higher prices for
substantially all of its products. If this acquisition had occurred effective
January 1, 1995, UCC's share of net income from corporate investments carried
at equity and net income - common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 would have increased by $27 million, and earnings per share would have
increased $0.19 per share, primary, or $0.17 per share, fully diluted. The
weighted average number of common shares used for the pro forma E.P.S.
calculations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 is 144,891,875 primary and
161,612,941 fully diluted.
- 16 -
(2) UCAR International Recapitalization and Sale
On January 26, 1995, UCC and Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan
("Mitsubishi") concluded the sale of newly issued common stock representing
75% of UCAR International Inc.'s outstanding shares to a new company formed by
Blackstone Capital Partners II Merchant Banking Fund L.P. UCAR had been a
50/50 joint venture of UCC and Mitsubishi.
UCC received $343 million in net cash proceeds and retained a 25% equity
interest in UCAR. The transaction resulted in a nonrecurring gain of

of net income from corporate investments carried at equity and net income -
common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 would have been
reduced by $4 million, and earnings per share would have decreased $0.03 per
share, primary, or $0.02 per share, fully diluted.
