These financial statements and supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplemental schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in note 2(a), these financial statements and supplemental schedules were prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Southern Pacific Rail Corporation Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in note 2(a). Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) Item 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes (Modified Cash Basis), and (2) Item 27d - Schedule of Reportable Transactions (Modified Cash Basis) are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP San Francisco, California June 20, 1997 2 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits (Modified Cash Basis) December 31, 1996 and 1995 1996 1995 ------------ ------------ Assets: Investments, at fair value (Note 3): Common stock fund $ 2,707,119 2,148,384 Commingled funds 62,546,639 43,290,298 Short-term investments 4,443,075 3,010,085 ------------ ------------ 69,696,833 48,448,767 Investments, at contract value (note 3): Fixed income annuity contracts 118,576,813 127,786,622 ------------ ------------ Total investments 188,273,646 176,235,389 Receivable from broker 19,417 8,726 Investment income receivable 695,265 730,618 ------------ ------------ Total assets $188,988,328 $176,974,733 ------------ ------------ Liabilities: Unsettled stock sale 1,412 6,815 ------------ ------------ Net assets available for plan benefits $188,986,916 $176,967,918 ============ ============ See accompanying nots to financial statements 3 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits (Modified Cash Basis) Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 1996 1995 ------------ ------------ Additions to net assets attributed to: Investment income: Interest $ 8,325,983 $ 8,929,902 Dividends 14,673 25 Net appreciation in fair value of investments (Note 3) 9,741,416 11,757,093 ------------ ------------ Total investment income 18,082,072 20,687,020 ------------ ------------ Contributions: Employer 2,816,930 2,908,910 Participants 6,507,155 6,645,656 ------------ ------------ Total contributions 9,324,085 9,554,566 ------------ ------------ Total additions 27,406,157 30,241,586 Deductions from net assets attributed to: Distributions to participants - cash 14,963,502 15,021,561 Distributions to participants - non-cash -- 10,649,546 Investment and administrative expenses 423,657 345,212 ------------ ------------ Total deductions 15,387,159 26,016,319 ------------ ------------ Increase in net assets available for plan benefits 12,018,998 4,225,267 Net assets available for plan benefits: Beginning of year 176,967,918 172,742,651 ------------ ------------ End of year $188,986,916 $176,967,918 ============ ============ See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis) (1) Description of Plan (a) General The following description of the Southern Pacific Rail Corporation Thrift Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan which was established by Rio Grande Holding, Inc. (RGH) on January 1, 1982 as an individual account savings and investment plan for employees of RGH and its subsidiaries (the RGH participants). RGH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (SPRC). SPRC adopted the Plan and became its sponsor. SPRC and its subsidiaries that are participating in the Thrift Plan are collectively referred to as the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Southern Pacific Transportation Company's employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement and not paid on an hourly basis are eligible to participate in the Plan any time after the first anniversary of their employment if they have not incurred a break in service. In addition, certain employees which are currently covered under collective bargaining agreements who were previously not covered have been allowed to continue participation in the Plan. On February 1, 1994, the Plan amended its eligibility requirement, allowing new employees to participate immediately in the Thrift Plan and to accept rollovers. (b) Contributions Plan participants may elect to make employee contributions in an amount not less than 1% nor more than 16% of their salary. These contributions may be made on either an after-tax or a before-tax basis, or a combination of the two, provided the total contribution does not exceed the lesser of 16% of salary or the applicable Internal Revenue Code annual limitation of $9,500. The employer matches the first 3% of employee contributions (whether before-tax or after-tax) on a dollar-for- dollar basis. All contributions are subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code such as those under Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m), 402(g) and 415. (c) Participant's Accounts Each participant's account is credited with his or her own contributions, employer contributions and an allocation of the Plan's earnings (or losses) based on the type of investments selected and their performance. The allocation of earnings (or losses) is based on each participant's account balance by investment type. (d) Vesting Participant and employer contributions are fully vested when made. 5 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis) (e) Investment Options Upon enrollment in the plan, a participant may direct contributions in 1% increments in any of six investment options: Fixed Investment Fund - Funds are invested in high quality investment contracts with a diversified group of insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. Value Equity Fund - Funds are invested in shares of the Invesco Retirement Trust Equity Fund (a trust company commingled fund). The fund primarily invests in common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. Balanced Fund - Funds are invested in shares of the Invesco Retirement Trust Flex Fund (a trust company commingled fund). The fund contains a mix of stocks and high quality bonds. International Equity Fund - Funds are invested in the Capital Guardian International (Non-U.S.) Equity Fund (a trust company commingled fund). The fund invests in a portfolio comprised primarily of securities of non-U.S. issuers and securities whose principal markets are outside of the United States. Stock Fund - Funds are invested in common stock of Union Pacific Rail Corporation. Growth Equity Fund - Funds are invested in shares of the Invesco Trust Company Common Stock Fund (a trust company commingled fund). The funds consists primarily of small and large capitalization stocks with strong earnings growth. Participants may change their investment options monthly. Effective December 31, 1994 SFP Stock and SFP subsidiary stock (which was held in the SFPAC stock fund) was eliminated from the plan as an investment option. Each participant whose account was invested in that fund was permitted to elect to withdraw, in kind, shares of stock with a fair market value equal to the total value allocated to the participants After-Tax Contributions Account and Company matching contributions account as of the date of withdrawal. All such shares not withdrawn were sold and the proceeds were invested in the Fixed Investment Fund. (f) Resources Stock Fund In September 1996, Union Pacific Corporation's (UPC) Board of Directors declared a special dividend consisting of the shares of Union Pacific Resources Group ("Resources") common stock owned by UPC ("the Spin-Off"). As a result of the Spin-Off, each of UPC's stockholders received 0.846946 of a share of Resources common stock for each share of UPC common stock held by such shareholders at the September 26, 1996 record date for the distribution. The shares were transferred at market value from the UPC Stock Fund to the Resources Stock Fund. Therefore, each Plan participant's account received 0.846946 of a share of Resources common stock for each share of UPC common stock held in the Fund. The shares received have been placed in the Resources Stock Fund ("Resources Stock"). Future contributions to Resources Stock Fund are not permitted. 6 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis) (g) Payment of Benefits Benefits are payable to a participant upon retirement, disability, death or termination of employment. Subject to certain hardship rules and limits, a participant may also withdraw employer or employee contributions under other circumstances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from that participant's account net of any witholding for federal income taxes. (h) Investment Management Fee and Administrative Expenses In 1996 and 1995 respectively, the Plan paid investment management fees of $418,047 and $304,230. Administration expenses paid totaled $5,610 and $40,982 respectively. The majority of administrative expenses in both 1996 and 1995 were paid by the Company. (i) Plan Termination SPRC may terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, Plan net assets will be allocated and distributed to the participants based on their respective account balances. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Plan are maintained, and the accompanying financial statements and information have been prepared, on the cash basis modified to carry investments at fair value, and to reflect the accrual of investment income and brokerage transactions. Consequently, revenues and related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned except for investment carrying value, investment income and brokerage transactions and expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to present net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (b) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The plan's assets are stated at fair value except for its investment contracts which are valued at contract value. Shares of commingled funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the plan at year end. The stock is valued at its quoted market price. The investment contracts held in the fixed investment fund are fully benefit responsive and as such are valued at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Investment income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The difference between cost and market value from one period to the next is recognized a net appreciation in fair value of investments in the accompanying state of changes in net assets available for benefits. (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 7 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis) (3) Investments Chase Manhattan Bank, trustee of the plan, held the Plan's investments and executed transactions therein. The following table presents the fair value of the underlying investments at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are separately identified.

This revision amended and restated the Plan to reflect changes required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service on February 8, 1996 which stated that the Plan is qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a). (5) Related Party Transaction Certain Plan investments are shares of temporary investment funds managed by Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase Manhattan Bank is the trustee as defined by the Plan, by the Plan and qualifies as a party-in-interest. Investment and administrative expenses paid to the trustee by the Plan amounted to $4,500 and $12,364 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, as of September 11, 1996 (the merger date) the Plan held stock issued by Union Pacific Corporation. Prior to the merger, the Plan held stock issued by the Plan sponsor, Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (Note 6). (6) Merger with Union Pacific On September 11, 1996, a subsidiary of Union Pacific Corporation (UPC) completed its acquisition of SPRC through an exchange of cash and UPC stock for all of the outstanding shares of SPRC not already owned by UPC. As a result, SPRC shares owned by the Plan were exchanged for a combination of cash and UPC stock. The 90,162 shares owned by the Plan were converted into 25,601 shares of UPC stock and $679,525 of cash was transferred to the Fixed Investment Fund. Also, the Plan was amended to permit Plan participants to invest in UPC stock to replace the previous option to invest in SPRC stock. Therefore, the common stock fund represents shares of UPC at December 31, 1996 and shares of SPRC at December 31, 1995. 11 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis) (7) Voluntary Compliance Resolution Applications In December of 1996, the Plan administrator filed a Voluntary Compliance Resolution (VCR) application with the Internal Revenue Service relating to operational defects of the Plan. The defects identified are 1) the existence of unallocated amounts in a suspense account resulting from the transfer of assets and liabilities from the Santa Fe Southern Pacific Savings and Investment Plan, 2) contributions made on behalf of one participant exceeded the limit under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 3) in two instances, the Plan administrator ceased making installment payments to participants at their request without making an immediate lump sum distribution as required under the Plan, 4) one participant received an overpayment, and 5) the Plan administrator incorrectly calculated the installment payments for one participant and began commencement of the installment payments two months late. The IRS had not yet responded to this VCR application. The Plan administrator is currently in the process of reviewing the Plan activity, determining the necessary corrections and the magnitude of those corrections. The Plan administrator expects that the proposed corrections will be accepted by the IRS with no adverse implications to the Plan's tax status. In October 1994, the Plan Administrator filed a Voluntary Compliance Resolution (VCR) application with the IRS relating to the failure to timely distribute the minimum distribution required under section 401(a)(9) to one employee. The Plan sponsor corrected the situation by distributing to the employee from her account the required amounts due of approximately $66,158. During 1996 the VCR application and proposed correction was accepted by the IRS with no adverse implications to the Plan's tax status.
