The transaction resulted in an accelerated pretax gain of $69 million and increased net earnings by $42 million, 40 cents per share. (b) In 1993, the company recorded a $93 million pretax charge to recognize the estimated costs of restructuring certain operations and functions at its container-shipping unit. The restructuring charge reduced net earnings by $61 million, 59 cents per share. In 1992, the company recorded a charge to recognize the estimated costs of buying out certain trip-based compensation elements paid to train crews. The pretax charge amounted to $699 million and reduced net earnings for 1992 by $450 million, $4.38 per share. In 1991, the company recorded a charge to provide for the estimated costs of implementing work-force reductions, improvements in productivity and other cost reductions at its major transportation units. The pretax charge amounted to $755 million and reduced 1991 net earnings by $490 million, $4.88 per share. In 1990, the company recorded a $53 million restructuring charge related to its container-shipping unit. On an after-tax basis, the restructuring charge was $36 million, 37 cents per share. (c) The company revised its estimated annual effective tax rate in 1993 to reflect the change in the federal statutory income tax rate from 34 to 35 percent. The effect of this change was to increase income tax expense for 1993 by $56 million, 54 cents per share. Of this amount, $51 million, 48 cents per share, related to applying the newly enacted statutory income tax rates to deferred tax balances as of January 1, 1993. (d) During 1991, the company consummated the sale of a one-third interest in Sea-Land Orient Terminals Ltd., the sale of the stock of RF&P Corporation and other investment transactions. After taxes and minority interest, the transactions resulted in a net gain of $32 million, 32 cents per share. (e) Employee count based on annual averages. - 7 - PAGE 8 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE By most measures, 1994 was an excellent year for CSX. The company generated $9.6 billion in operating revenue, $1.2 billion in operating income and $652 million in net earnings - all records and all contributing to CSX exceeding its cost of capital for the second consecutive year and producing a record $486 million in free cash flow. Furthermore, each of the company's core transportation businesses strengthened its competitive position and its long- term fundamental earning power. From the standpoint of stock performance, however, 1994 was a disappointment. After climbing to an all-time high of $92.375 per share in February, CSX stock finished the year at $69.625, down 15 percent from its 1993 close. We believe external forces - especially rising interest rates and investor concerns about potential inflation - were largely responsible for the poor performance of CSX's stock and that of transportation and cyclical stocks in general. In addition, uncertainty over possible mergers in the rail industry contributed to the 17 percent average decline in the stock price of the six largest U.S. railroad companies (excluding CSX). Even with 1994's price decline, CSX's stock performance for the past 3- and 5-year periods easily exceeded that of the S&P 500 and other broad market indexes. In fact, CSX's market value has more than doubled over the past five years, from $3.5 billion at the end of 1989 to nearly $7.3 billion at the end of 1994. While disappointed in the performance of CSX stock in 1994, we believe it is just a matter of time before the company's improving financial strength and earnings outlook are more fully reflected in its stock price. Indeed, we have more confidence than ever in CSX's ability to provide superior shareholder returns over the long term. Five years of progress The past year marked the successful completion of a five-year plan to improve the strength and profitability of our individual business units and, consequently, the core earning power of CSX. Each of our units made great strides by re-engineering processes, cutting costs, enhancing service reliability and improving quality and safety. This progress has enabled CSX to produce strong, sustainable earnings and free cash flows. Most important, for the past two years CSX earned in excess of its cost of capital, which we view as critical to the creation of shareholder value. Having made great progress in improving the performance of our individual units, CSX now is beginning to reap the fruits of our efforts to promote and coordinate cross-unit activities. Increasingly, we are working across units to reduce costs, improve safety, use technology more effectively, share market knowledge and pursue opportunities beyond the means of any single one of our businesses. Much remains to be done before CSX realizes its full potential, but we are encouraged by the progress our units are making to more fully leverage the combined strengths of CSX. Key to our ability to serve customers and create value is the human element - the vast range of talent, expertise and ingenuity that make this - 8 - PAGE 9 company special. With that in mind, CSX is making a concerted effort to broaden the professional development of our work force. We are committed to creating within CSX a unique learning environment to enhance the individual skills and competencies of our people. We have the resources, knowledge and vision to establish CSX as the premier provider of global transportation services, a company recognized worldwide for its ability to create value for its customers, shareholders and employees. We are determined - indeed, eager - to demonstrate the true potential of this company. The achievements made by CSX's business units during 1994 certainly laid a solid foundation for further improvements. Record results at CSXT Our railroad, CSX Transportation Inc. (CSXT), recorded the best performance in its history by continuing to control costs while setting records in operating income and free cash flow. Cross-functional performance improvement teams continued to scrutinize virtually every aspect of the railroad's operation. These teams have eliminated over $350 million in excess costs over the past three years, and they are targeting more than $100 million in further cost reductions in 1995. For the year, CSXT posted an operating ratio slightly below 80 percent, which means that the railroad produced more than 20 cents in operating income for every dollar of revenue it generated. Though pleased with its success in improving operating efficiency, CSXT's management team views its achievement of a record-low operating ratio as merely a milepost along the path to a significantly better performance in 1995 and beyond. The railroad undertook a major effort to improve service in 1994 and began re-engineering key components of its operation to meet customer needs. By improving the performance and reliability of its locomotive fleet and reducing cycle times for its car fleet, CSXT continues to enhance asset utilization and reduce capital spending requirements. The result is a greater return on invested capital and the ability to meet market needs with smaller equipment fleets and at less cost. A strong finish for Sea-Land At our ocean container-shipping unit, Sea-Land Service Inc. (Sea- Land), strong traffic across all major trade lanes helped offset the severe consequences of a second-quarter strike by the Teamsters Union. Absent the strike, Sea-Land would have posted its best annual earnings ever. The company ended the year on a particularly strong note, reporting record earnings in both the third and fourth quarters. Sea-Land continued to make significant progress reducing costs and improving profitability during 1994. The company has eliminated over $350 million of expense since the beginning of 1992 and is committed to strengthening its competitive advantage by further reducing its cost base. - 9 - PAGE 10 In 1994, Sea-Land took steps to improve the efficiency of its vessel operations and inland transportation. The company implemented an automation process that enhances productivity at its terminals and expanded the coverage of a dynamic yield management system that identifies optimum cargo selection. Sea-Land also announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Charlotte, N.C., and to consolidate divisional functions there by this summer. In addition to streamlining administration, this centrally managed approach will enable Sea-Land to respond more effectively to customer needs on a global basis. Intermodal strength continues CSX Intermodal Inc. (CSXI) continued its eight-year record of improved results, with operating income rising 15 percent to $61 million. CSXI completed improvements to many of its terminals, initiated direct service between Chicago and New York City and continued to forge partnerships with motor carriers, railroads and distributors. In 1995, CSXI will continue improving and expanding its national service network to pave the way for future growth. CSXI also plans to begin field testing its "Iron Highway" integrated train concept, which holds great promise for making intermodal transportation competitive for distances of 700 miles or less. Barge line bounces back Our barge unit, American Commercial Lines Inc. (ACL), rebounded from 1993's flood-impacted downturn to post strong 1994 results. Operating income rose 40 percent to $63 million on the strength of a robust U.S. economy and bumper grain harvest. ACL continued to re-engineer its work processes and to explore river transportation opportunities abroad, similar to its successful barge operation on the Orinoco River in Venezuela. CTI aggressively pursues growth Customized Transportation Inc. (CTI), a logistics company specializing in supply-chain management, leveraged its reputation as a leading supplier of contract logistics for the automotive industry to expand its presence in non-automotive markets. Though the youngest and smallest of CSX's transportation units, CTI is pursuing aggressive growth targets that are expected to double its size in five years. - 10 - PAGE 11 Pro Forma Net Earnings --------------------------------------------- (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) 1994 1993 1992 ----------- ----------- ----------- Per Per Per Description (All After Tax) Amt.

Our resorts unit, which includes The Greenbrier in West Virginia and the Grand Teton Lodge Company in Wyoming, produced strong earnings while upholding its reputation for unsurpassed quality and service. Meanwhile, our realty group continued its efforts to obtain the best value for property not needed for other operations. Consolidated results Together, all units enabled CSX to produce record earnings of $652 million, or $6.23 a share. Earnings for 1994 include an after-tax gain of $42 million resulting from an accelerated payment to CSXT by the state of Florida for track purchased in 1988. The prior year's earnings were impacted by a restructuring charge and the effect of retroactively applying an increase in income tax rates. Excluding these items, 1994 earnings rose 30 percent over the prior year. We are pleased with the record-breaking results CSX delivered in 1994, and we are confident we will achieve further progress in 1995 and beyond. Favorable business climate For the near term, we see a favorable business climate both in the United States and abroad. We expect the domestic economy to remain strong, which would benefit all of our business units, especially our rail, intermodal and barge operations. We also anticipate that strengthening economic conditions overseas will aid all of our transportation units, particularly Sea-Land, which operates in some 80 countries. We are encouraged by the recent trend by countries all over the world to reduce government regulation and liberalize trade policies, as is discussed further in the "Public Policy" section of this report. We are especially enthusiastic about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the - 11 - PAGE 12 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which promise to reduce trade barriers and boost economic growth. CSX is well situated to take advantage of this favorable trend toward increased world trade. Through our container-shipping unit, CSX is involved in many of the fastest-growing regions of the world, including China, Central and Southeast Asia and Latin America. Also, our rail and barge units move bulk commodities such as coal, grain and fertilizer bound for export markets, and much of our intermodal company's business involves moving double-stack trains of international cargo across North America. The next five years For the next five years, the efforts of our individual units will continue to be guided by their overriding commitment to be the best in their respective industries. Each is focused on meeting customer requirements by delivering the highest level of service at the lowest possible cost. And each is committed to exceeding its cost of capital and providing superior returns. To reach these objectives, CSX will target increasingly difficult performance improvement goals. We will continue our relentless efforts to reduce costs wherever possible, to allocate capital judiciously, to utilize assets intelligently and to improve safety and service reliability. Continued success in these areas should enable us to meet our financial targets and to create as much, if not more, shareholder value in the next five years as we have over the past five years. All of our business units operate in challenging environments; competition is fierce, customer expectations are increasing, and the cost of capital is rising. But as Winston Churchill said, "Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it." We welcome the winds of change and the turbulence of competition; such an unsettled environment inspires our company to soar to new heights. Sincerely, /s/ JOHN W. SNOW - ---------------- John W. Snow Chairman and Chief Executive Officer - 12 - PAGE 13 PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT The 1994 elections were a milestone in American history. The revolt of the voters against big government sent a new pro-business majority to Congress with a bold program for reducing the size of government, lowering tax burdens and lessening the effects of regulation. A similar change also occurred in many states. For the business community at large and for CSX in particular, the most encouraging aspect of this political transformation is the move against excessive regulation. In recent years the system of federally imposed economic and environmental regulation has grown at an alarming rate, under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Some regulations have been proposed without any showing of need or any realistic relationship to the risks they seek to prevent. The new political climate in Washington and in the states offers a historic opportunity for change. The imperative to reduce the cost of government to balance the federal budget has forced a re-examination of the need for regulatory agencies like the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), which regulates railroads, and the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), which regulates ocean shipping. For railroads, already freed from much economic regulation by the Staggers Act of 1980, the ICC has increasingly become an anachronism. The renaissance of the railroad industry proves what can be done when excessive regulation is eliminated; a healthy and competitive rail industry should now be treated like any other business except in those increasingly rare situations where there is a strong public purpose for some safety net of regulatory review. Maritime Reform In contrast to the railroads, which operate entirely within the United States, where they and their competitors are covered by the same laws and respond to the same economic incentives, the liner carriers operate in international commerce, where their competitors play by the rules of many different nations and often are driven by non-economic considerations. Many who attack the FMC and the current conference system ignore these differences. While CSX supports a reduction of maritime regulation, we should not act rashly in a way that would put U.S.-flag carriers at a competitive disadvantage. Their foreign competitors are often state-owned enterprises or work in close cooperation with their national governments. If U.S. laws are made more stringent, the U.S.-flag carriers will obey them, but we can not expect the same cooperation from foreign carriers. CSX continues to support a program for maritime reform that either provides for reasonable payments to help offset the higher costs of operating under the U.S. flag or allows carriers to reflag vessels with the understanding that the vessels would be made available to the federal government for defense purposes in the event of a national emergency. Authority for five such reflaggings was granted as this report went to press. That action is encouraging, but it is inconceivable to us that the United - 13 - PAGE 14 States would jeopardize its ability to meet its national defense requirements by refusing to support a U.S. merchant marine. Clearly, U.S. support of private, U.S.-flag merchant ships would be a far more efficient use of federal funds than would investing billions of dollars in government-owned vessels. Rail Passenger Service The deficit-reduction imperative will force the Congress and the administration to take a hard look at the need for heavily subsidized rail passenger service. CSX is required by law to play a somewhat reluctant host to more Amtrak trains than any other railroad except Conrail. Many are not justified by public demand, yet they constrict rail capacity or force track maintenance standards that exceed those needed for freight operations. In effect, we are obligated by law to subsidize indirectly Amtrak's passenger service - whose yearly government subsidy now totals nearly a billion dollars. We hope the new era will bring about a restructuring of Amtrak so that it operates economically on fewer routes. The system of excessive regulation also has spilled over into our judicial system, which has become clogged with litigation. Tort reforms would lessen the incentive to turn to the courts to solve every dispute. Congressional review of the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), the antiquated system under which rail employees are compensated when injured on the job, could at long last give railroads and their employees the opportunity to move from this costly, adversarial system of dealing with employee injuries to the no-fault system of workers compensation used by every other industry. Finally, CSX plans to work with other businesses to seek a fairer and less intrusive system of regulation. Fundamentally, we believe there needs to be dramatic change in the entire approach of government to regulation, so that regulations are imposed only when a compelling need exists and where the likely benefits exceed the costs. We support pending legislation that would require performance standards and realistic cost-benefit assessments of the real risks involved in perceived environmental hazards or threats to safety. One message the voters sent to Congress and to their state legislatures in November is that they agree with Thomas Jefferson: "That government is best which governs the least." That is a principle that should direct our approach to government and its regulatory role. - 14 - PAGE 15 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL SECTION A Message to Shareholders on CSX'S Financial Principles The management of CSX Corporation is dedicated to reporting the company's financial condition and results of operations in an accurate, timely and conservative manner in order to give shareholders all the information they need to make decisions about investment in the company. CSX management also strives to present to shareholders a clear picture of the company's financial objectives and the principles that guide its employees in achieving those goals. In this section, financial information is presented to assist you in understanding the sources of earnings and financial resources of the company and the contributions of the major business units. In addition, certain information needed to meet the Securities and Exchange Commission's Form 10-K requirements has been included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The key objective of CSX is to increase shareholder value by improving the return on capital invested in its businesses and maximizing free cash flow. The company defines "free cash flow" as the amount of cash available for debt service and other purposes generated by operating activities after deducting capital expenditures, present value of new leases and cash dividends. To achieve these goals, managers utilize the following guidelines in conducting the financial activities of the company: Capital expenditures -- CSX business units are expected to earn returns on capital expenditures in excess of the CSX cost of capital, unless such expenditures are necessary to meet safety, environmental or other regulatory requirements. Business units that do not earn above the CSX cost of capital and do not generate an adequate level of free cash flow over an appropriate period of time will be evaluated for sale or other disposition. Taxes -- CSX will pursue all available opportunities to pay the lowest possible federal, state and foreign taxes, consistent with applicable laws and regulations and the company's obligation to carry a fair share of the cost of government. CSX also works through the legislative process to keep effective tax rates as low as possible. Debt ratings -- The company will strive to maintain its investment grade debt ratings, which allow cost-effective access to major financial markets worldwide. The company will work to manage its business operations in a manner consistent with meeting this objective, including monitoring its debt levels and the amount of fixed charges it incurs. Financial instruments -- From time to time the company may employ financial instruments as part of its risk management program. The objective would be to manage specific risks and exposures and not to actively trade financial instruments for profit or loss. - 15 - PAGE 16 Dividends -- Every quarter, the cash dividend will be reviewed in light of the current rate of inflation and competitive dividend yields. The dividend may be increased periodically if cash flow projections show the higher payout level could be adequately maintained. Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting The consolidated financial statements of CSX Corporation have been prepared by management, which is responsible for their content and accuracy. The statements present the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, include amounts based on management's judgments and estimates. CSX and its subsidiaries maintain an internal control structure designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized by management and recorded in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. This structure includes accounting controls, written policies and procedures and a code of corporate conduct that stresses the highest ethical standards and is routinely communicated to all employees. This structure also includes an internal audit staff to monitor the compliance with and effectiveness of established policies and procedures. The Audit Committee of the board of directors, which is composed solely of outside directors, meets periodically with management, internal auditors and the independent auditors to review audit findings, adherence to corporate policies and other financial matters. The firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, has been engaged to audit and report on the company's consolidated financial statements. Its audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and included a review of internal accounting controls to the extent deemed necessary for the purpose of its report, which appears on page 71. - 16 - PAGE 17 ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS Through its business units, CSX Corporation operates a unique global freight transportation network offering rail, container-shipping, intermodal and inland barge transportation. CSX also provides a range of related services, including logistics management, warehousing, distribution and inland marine construction and repair. CSX units enjoy a major presence in their respective industries, which gives them the financial stability and market strength to withstand economic downturns and domestic and international competition. Management focus is on increasing shareholder returns and generating "economic value added" (EVA). The EVA concept holds that companies create wealth only when they generate returns above their cost of capital. Using EVA to measure financial performance, CSX has reduced costs, utilized assets more effectively, conserved capital, increased productivity and improved service. Each unit of CSX is charged with meeting stretch targets for return on invested capital, operating income and free cash flow. Their efforts to improve the core earning power of their businesses yielded record results for CSX in 1994 - generating returns greater than the company's cost of capital. Discussion of Earnings Net earnings totaled $652 million, $6.23 per share in 1994, compared with $359 million, $3.46 per share in 1993, and $20 million, 19 cents per share, in 1992. Earnings for 1994 included the accelerated recognition of an after-tax gain of $42 million, 40 cents per share, on a 1988 sale of track in south Florida. Excluding this gain, earnings for 1994 would have been $610 million, $5.83 per share. The 1993 results included the effect of a $93 million pretax restructuring charge to recognize the expense associated with reorganizing and downsizing the container-shipping unit's European and North American operations. After taxes, this charge was $61 million, 59 cents per share. Also in 1993, CSX recognized $51 million, 48 cents per share, of income tax expense related to applying the newly enacted statutory income tax rate to deferred tax balances as of Jan. 1, 1993. Earnings for 1992 included a charge principally to recognize the estimated costs of buying out certain trip-based compensation paid to train crews. The pretax charge amounted to $699 million and reduced net earnings for 1992 by $450 million, $4.38 per share. Excluding the above-mentioned charges and the impact of the tax-rate change, earnings for 1993 and 1992 would have been $471 million, $4.53 per share, and $470 million, $4.57 per share, respectively. On a comparable basis, annual earnings per share in 1994 were $1.30 higher than in 1993 and $1.26 higher than in 1992. - 17 - PAGE 18 PRODUCTIVITY/RESTRUCTURING CHARGES ---------------------------------- (Millions of Dollars) ------------------- 1993 1992 1991 ---- ---- ---- Provision: Severance Costs $32 $669 $634 Exit, Settlement and Other Costs 61 30 121 --- ---- ---- Total Provision 93 699 755 --- ---- ---- Payments and Other Reductions: Severance Costs (24) (293) (634) Exit, Settlement and Other Costs (42) (30) (121) --- ---- ---- Balance Dec. 30, 1994 $27 $376 $--- === ==== ==== Consolidated operating revenue increased to $9.6 billion, 7% higher than 1993 and 10% above 1992. The higher 1994 revenue was led by the rail unit's improvement in merchandise traffic and the rebound of coal loadings from 1993's levels, which were affected adversely by a strike against selected eastern coal producers. Strong volume at the container-shipping and intermodal units and a solid second half of the year for the barge company supported revenue increases across all transportation units. Compared with 1992, all CSX transportation units generated higher revenue. These increases were driven by improved economic activity and market share gains achieved through service improvements. Consolidated operating expense was $8.4 billion, compared with $8 billion in 1993 and $8.5 billion in 1992. Operating expense in 1993 included the container-shipping unit's $93 million pretax restructuring charge, while 1992 operating expense included the $699 million pretax productivity charge. Excluding the restructuring and productivity charges, 1994 operating expense would have been 6% higher than 1993's expense of $7.9 billion and 8% higher than 1992's $7.8 billion. Concerted cost-reduction efforts by all CSX units enabled the company to contain much of the expense associated with supporting the increased revenue and the effects of inflation. In particular, significant expense reductions were achieved by Performance Improvement Teams at the rail and container-shipping units. Consolidated operating income for 1994 was $1.2 billion. This compared with $913 million in 1993 and $266 million in 1992, including the restructuring and productivity charges recorded in both years. Excluding those charges, operating income would have been $1 billion in 1993 and $965 million in 1992. The year-to-year comparisons include the impact of 1993's coal strike and midwest flooding on rail and barge operations, respectively. - 18 - PAGE 19 Other income totaled $55 million, compared with $18 million in 1993 and $3 million in 1992. Other income for 1994 reflected the accelerated $69 million net pretax gain on the south Florida track sale, partially offset by higher fees related to accounts receivable sold and premium payments related to retiring $300 million of long-term debt. The gain recognition was the result of the state of Florida prepaying its unfunded obligation to the company. Interest expense for 1994 was $281 million, $17 million below 1993's level. A $312 million net decrease in outstanding debt and lower interest rates on equipment obligations contributed to the reduced expense compared with 1993. Discussion of Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.3 billion in 1994. This compares with $962 million in 1993 and $939 million in 1992. Cash provided by operating activities, together with proceeds from disposition of properties, was adequate to fund property additions and cash dividends in 1994 and 1993, as well as to allow a significant reduction of long-term debt in 1994. Payments related to the 1992 and 1991 productivity charges to implement two-member crew agreements on the rail system impacted cash provided by operations in all three years. These agreements, which were successfully negotiated by the end of 1993, provided for two-member train crews on through- freight and yard assignments, the buyout of excess positions and buyouts for productivity fund and short-crew allowances. The company has paid $760 million related to its 1992 and 1991 productivity charges to date, largely due to the implementation of these agreements. The rail unit is realizing the efficiencies and savings anticipated as a result of reducing train crew sizes. Payments also were made in conjunction with the container-shipping unit's European and North American restructuring as well as other rail unit severance programs. Consistent with its original estimates, CSX expects a significant decrease in the level of future cash payments for those productivity and restructuring costs. In management's opinion, existing reserves are adequate for these payments. Property additions totaled $875 million for the year, compared with $768 million in 1993 and $1 billion in 1992, which included $137 million for the barge company's acquisition of the Valley Line assets. Efforts to reduce expenses, improve asset utilization and enhance productivity, such as through Performance Improvement Teams and increased equipment turn times, have helped hold the line on capital spending in a period of increasing business activity. CSX committed additional capital in the form of new and renewed operating leases. The present value of future payments on these additional equipment and facility leases totaled $116 million in 1994, $108 million in 1993 and $17 million in 1992. New capital investment totaled $991 million in 1994, compared with $876 million in 1993 and $1 billion in 1992. - 19 - PAGE 20 Cash dividends per common share rose to $1.76, compared with $1.58 in 1993 and $1.52 in 1992. The annualized dividend rate increased 11% from 1993's level and 16% from 1992's level. The number of CSX outstanding shares rose slightly, to 104.7 million, as a result of stock issued under the provisions of incentive, benefit and dividend reinvestment plans. In 1995, CSX anticipates continued strong cash flows from core transportation operations sufficient to meet future operating and capital needs as well as cash dividends and debt repayments. The company also plans to continue its successful record of extracting cash value from disposition or lease of rights of way, real estate and other non-core asset holdings. CSX expects to have access to financial markets, as necessary, to fund operations, working capital and other requirements. Discussion of Financial Position Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $535 million at Dec. 30, 1994. This compares with $499 million and $530 million at year-end 1993 and 1992, respectively. The working capital deficit increased $136 million during 1994, primarily due to higher current maturities of long-term debt. The company had year-end working capital deficits of $840 million in 1994, $704 million in 1993 and $859 million in 1992. A working capital deficit is not unusual for CSX and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. CSX maintains adequate resources to satisfy current liabilities when they are due and has sufficient financial capacity to manage its day-to-day cash requirements. In 1993, working capital was affected by the reclassification of current deferred income taxes. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, CSX reclassified $108 million of its long-term deferred income tax balances to a current account during 1993 to match the life of this deferred benefit with the underlying components that gave rise to the deferred income taxes. Long-term debt declined $515 million to $2.6 billion in 1994, reflecting a higher level of scheduled maturities and use of the company's increased cash flow to reduce outstanding debt. This compared with long-term debt of $3.1 billion in 1993 and $3.2 billion in 1992. The company issued debt in 1992 to finance productivity payments and property acquisitions. The ratio of debt-to-total capitalization was 40.8% at year-end 1994, compared with 49.2% for 1993 and 51.7% for 1992. Cash provided by operations, property dispositions and proceeds from the prepayment of its unfunded obligation by the state of Florida generated the cash available to reduce the outstanding long-term debt. CSX anticipates using excess cash to continue to reduce long-term debt over the next two to three years. - 20 - PAGE 21 Other Matters CSX accepts the challenge of addressing its environmental responsibilities and managing related expenditures. Environmental management is an important part of CSX's strategic planning. As a result, there is an active focus on finding the most efficient, cost-effective solutions for dealing responsibly with waste materials generated from past and present business operations. These solutions range from simple recycling and cleanup efforts to high-tech remediation initiatives. The company is a party to numerous regulatory proceedings and private actions. These arise from laws governing the remediation of contaminated property, such as the federal Superfund statute, hazardous waste and underground storage tank laws, and similar state laws. The rail unit has been identified, together with other parties, as a potentially responsible party in a number of governmental investigations and actions relating to environmentally impaired sites. Such sites frequently involve other waste generators and disposal companies to whom costs associated with site investigation and cleanup may be allocated or from whom such costs may be recovered. Due to the number of parties involved at many of these sites, the wide range of costs of the possible remediation alternatives, changing cleanup technology, the length of time over which these matters develop and evolving governmental standards, it is not always possible to estimate precisely the company's liability for the costs associated with the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites. The rail unit maintained reserves for 106 environmental sites at year-end 1994. The company periodically reviews its environmental reserves as new developments arise to determine whether additional provisions are necessary. Based on current information, the company believes its reserves are adequate to meet remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations. Although CSX's financial results could be significantly affected in any quarterly reporting period in which the company incurred substantial remedial expenses at a number of these and other sites, CSX believes the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition. Total expenditures associated with protecting the environment and remedial environmental cleanup efforts amounted to $39 million in 1994. This compares with $42 million in 1993 and $27 million in 1992. CSX employs risk management strategies to address business and financial market risks. However, CSX currently has no significant hedging or derivative financial instruments in place as part of its risk management programs. The company may change this position to respond to evolving business and market conditions, particularly as such conditions influence interest rates, fuel costs and foreign currency exposure. The company monitors the interest rate sensitivity of its portfolio of investments and borrowings, and from time to time may use financial instruments to manage the net interest exposure. - 21 - PAGE 22 Similarly, CSX monitors fuel oil price volatility and fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar in foreign exchange markets. While the company is not currently hedging these risks with financial instruments, on occasion it may do so. CSX's objective in employing such strategies would be to manage those risks and exposures, not to actively trade financial instruments for profit or loss.

(CSXT) posted three consecutive quarters of record operating income in 1994. These results were due to strong traffic across virtually all merchandise commodities and continued success in cost reductions. CSXT also rebounded from the 1993 coal strikes to yield notable increases in domestic coal tonnage. These results were achieved in spite of lower export coal loadings. Rail operating income in 1994 totaled $929 million, $183 million above 1993's $746 million and $189 million above 1992's comparable $740 million. This latter figure excludes a net productivity charge of $619 million associated with labor reductions. Including this charge, rail operating income was $121 million in 1992. CSXT also achieved an operating ratio, which is the ratio of operating expense to operating revenue, of 79.9% in 1994, surpassing a major performance goal of 80% set in 1991. The operating ratio was 83% in 1993 and 83.3% in 1992, excluding the productivity charge. Operating revenue rose to $4.63 billion, a 6% increase from 1993 and a 4% increase over 1992, driven primarily by a rebound in domestic coal tonnage and exceptional merchandise traffic. Rail revenue totaled $4.38 billion in 1993 and $4.43 billion in 1992. CSXT overcame severe winter conditions in early 1994 and weaker- than-expected export coal traffic to increase coal tonnage to 153.7 million tons vs. 144.1 million tons in 1993. Domestic coal shipments rose 8% as utility demand, driven by the need to rebuild stockpiles depleted from the 1993 strikes and the harsh winter weather, surged during the year. CSXT's export shipments faced a number of market obstacles, including decreased demand and increased foreign competition. In 1994, export coal shipments decreased to 16 million tons from 16.7 million tons in 1993. - 22 - PAGE 23 CSXT anticipates a modest recovery in the U.S. export coal market and slightly better domestic coal loadings in 1995. The implementation of Phase I of the Clean Air Act in 1995 is expected to provide a net tonnage gain for CSXT, as an increase in the production of high-quality, low-sulfur coal at CSXT-served mines should more than offset any displacement caused by the Act. Total rail merchandise carloads and revenue increased 6% and 5%, respectively, over 1993 levels, reflecting the strength of the U.S. economy and successful efforts to expand market share. These same figures both rose 10% vs. 1992's volume and revenue. CSXT's automotive carloads increased 9% from a strong 1993 traffic base. This growth, driven by increased U.S. auto production, soaring consumer demand and improved service, pushed automotive revenue up 7% in 1994. Demand for plastic products from the auto industry, housing construction and the consumer goods market helped spur a 4% carload growth in the chemicals market. Bulk Intermodal Distribution (BIDS) terminals, where customers transfer and store bulk chemicals, gave CSXT a significant competitive advantage in this market. The customer response to this service is reflected in the 5% increase in chemicals revenue for 1994. Minerals traffic and revenue for the year improved 12% and 10%, respectively, propelled by growth in highway construction and demand for sand for auto castings. Shipments in the food and consumer category, which includes government traffic and consumer durables, increased 6%, reflecting strong industrial production, particularly in appliances. Agricultural products experienced a surge in export grain traffic late in the year, but it was not enough to offset the devastating effect of the 1993 floods that caused a short supply of grain through the first three quarters of 1994. Strong domestic feed grain loadings to the Southeast poultry farms provided a solid base of traffic during the year. Carloads declined 7%, while revenue decreased only 3% as a result of favorable yield and mix changes. The metals industry enjoyed one of its best years ever, as strong demand from steel mini-mills led to a 13% carload increase in 1994. New service packages offered by CSXT improved market share and contributed to a 17% gain in revenue. Forest products traffic, which includes lumber, paper and construction materials, improved 2% due to continued housing demand and steady recovery of the paper business. CSXT's market position in lumber was aided by the addition of several new lumber distribution centers. The phosphates and fertilizer category experienced an 11% growth in traffic as export loads rose with increased foreign demand. The distance CSXT hauls export shipments of phosphate from Florida's Bone Valley to the Port of Tampa is far less than that for domestic moves to the U.S. Midwest, leading to lower revenue-per-carload comparisons. - 23 - PAGE 24 Although merchandise traffic experienced significant gains in 1994, CSXT anticipates continued strength in the principal markets it serves in the U.S. industrial sector in 1995. Combined with selective price increases, a modest improvement is expected in merchandise traffic and revenue in 1995. The rail unit undertook an effort to re-engineer key components of its service delivery to meet customer needs better and enhance service reliability in 1994. In the future, the unit hopes to strengthen traffic levels in the various commodity groups by further satisfying customers through improved performance. Rail operating expense for 1994 was $3.7 billion, a 2% increase over 1993 and level with 1992, excluding the previously mentioned 1992 productivity charge. These results reflect the continuing efforts of the rail unit to reduce expense and control cost while retaining its customer focus. Labor and fringe benefits expense increased 2% to $1.83 billion, vs. $1.8 billion in both 1993 and 1992. Despite the increased traffic levels, which required a greater number of crew starts, and the impact of a 4% wage increase, CSXT controlled labor and fringe benefits expense. The company will continue to implement work-force reductions over the next few years. As the implementation of two-member crews extends throughout the rail system, the average crew size continues to fall. At year-end 1994, the average crew size was 2.5 members. In the next few years, reductions in yard and local crews will result in an average crew size of 2.25 members. CSXT, as a participant in national bargaining, is actively engaged in contract negotiations with rail labor organizations. CSXT seeks to improve the future competitiveness of its labor force through these negotiations. CSXT continued to reduce accidents and injuries in 1994, and it remains one of the safest railroads in the industry. Reportable injuries to employees were reduced 20% and train accidents fell 21% by year-end, helping CSXT maintain one of the highest rankings among Class I railroads. The company's progress in safety not only continues to save lives, but increases the quality and reliability of rail service while driving out unnecessary expense. - 24 - PAGE 25 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------------- (All Tables in Millions of Dollars) Table 1.

Performance Improvement Team initiatives reduced expenses by more than $350 million from 1991 through 1994. Besides shrinking the cost base, this program has helped conserve capital as improvements are realized in reliability, performance and efficiency throughout the system. All areas of rail operations and administration - from repair and maintenance of locomotives and freight cars to purchases of office supplies - were targeted. Further savings of more than $100 million have been targeted by CSXT for each of the next three years. CSXT will continue to lower its cost base in 1995 and beyond through increased asset utilization, crew-size reductions, improved safety and continued Performance Improvement Team savings. - 27 - PAGE 28 Rail capital additions for 1994 increased to $675 million from 1993's $576 million and 1992's $570 million. These figures include the present value of new operating leases. Capital expenditures for roadway improvements, including track, terminals, technology and other equipment, totaled $401 million, or 59% of the total. CSXT's maintenance-of-way program installed or replaced 289 miles of rail in 1994, compared with 400 miles in both 1993 and 1992. The remaining rail property additions included $131 million for locomotives and $143 million for the car fleet. Table 2.

This new AC technology, which provides substantially better tractive effort, or pulling power, will allow CSXT to replace an average of two older units in its existing fleet with each new unit. These AC locomotives are the first of 250 fuel-efficient units to be delivered to CSXT through 1997. - 28 - PAGE 29 Rail Assets (Owned or leased as of December 30, 1994) ----------------------------------------- Freight Cars Boxcars 14,718 Open-top hoppers 35,609 Covered hoppers 18,789 Gondolas 20,623 Other cars 15,092 ------- Total 104,831 ======= Locomotives 2,785 Track Route miles 18,759 Track miles 32,462 In late 1994, CSXT resumed repairing and rebuilding freight cars at its Raceland Car Shop in Kentucky.

Notwithstanding this program, enhanced utilization through improved car turn times will yield a net reduction in the overall car fleet. CSXT is engaged in preliminary negotiations to obtain all its telecommunication services from AT&T. The goal of this transaction would be to provide CSXT with the strategic opportunity to obtain state-of-the-art technology, equipment and services from AT&T, without diverting CSXT's capital and management resources from its core business. The arrangement, if consummated, would enable CSXT to leverage technological enhancements as they become available in the rapidly changing telecommunications industry. The transaction could result in a significant future charge to cover the writedown of certain telecommunications assets and labor separation costs. In 1995, CSXT expects to improve equipment utilization further and increase capital expenditures by approximately 10%, the majority of which will go to the Raceland car program. Container-Shipping Results Volume at Sea-Land Service Inc. surged to record levels in 1994 despite a three-week nationwide Teamsters strike in April that closed Sea- Land's West Coast operations and disrupted shipments to and from Alaska, Hawaii and Asia. Although the strike interrupted a solid first half of the year, Sea-Land finished the year with heavy volume in the third and fourth quarters. The unit's ongoing expense reductions, coupled with efficiencies gained from its Performance Improvement Team efforts and its 1993 Atlantic restructuring, were tempered by the strike impact on earnings of approximately $45 million. - 29 - PAGE 30 Despite the strike, Sea-Land delivered $187 million of operating income. This compares with $193 million in 1993, excluding the $93 million pretax restructuring charge, and $151 million in 1992, excluding a $17 million pretax productivity charge. Record earnings were posted in the third and fourth quarters as strengthening economies in Europe, Japan, China and the Middle East helped revive commercial traffic. Including charges, operating income was $100 million in 1993 and $134 million in 1992. Container-shipping operating revenue rose to $3.5 billion, an 8% improvement over 1993's revenue of $3.25 billion and 11% better than 1992's $3.15 billion. Double-digit volume gains over 1993 levels were recorded in the Pacific, Americas and Asia/Middle East/Europe (AME) trade lanes, while overall volume increased 9%. Average revenue per container slipped 3% as competition increased and cargo mix varied from prior years. Sea-Land anticipates a more favorable supply/demand ratio in its markets in 1995 as added capacity in most trade lanes will be offset by significant market growth. Container volumes in both eastbound and westbound Pacific lanes increased significantly. Eastbound traffic was driven by increasing consumer demand in the United States, while westbound gains resulted primarily from a resurgence in commercial cargoes and increasing military traffic. Sea-Land expects continued strong volumes during 1995 in the Pacific, propelled by solid U.S. demand for imports from southeast Asia, China and Hong Kong and exports to these countries. An increase in traffic from Central and South America, along with continued solid U.S. exports, drove the Americas volume up sharply in 1994. Sea-Land anticipates continued growth in this trade in 1995, especially with the continuing expansion of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Strong shipments in the AME service reflected growing trade between Asia and Europe, and the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. In all of Sea-Land's markets, rates continue to reflect an intensely competitive environment. The conference system, which helps to stabilize pricing in most major trade lanes, is under review by U.S. and international regulatory authorities. The recent passage of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) will encourage higher levels of international trade. Serving customers through a global infrastructure, Sea-Land is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by GATT and NAFTA. Sea-Land's operating expense increased 8% to $3.3 billion, compared with $3.05 billion in 1993 and $3 billion in 1992, excluding restructuring and productivity charges. Sea-Land's efforts to reroute containers and ships during the April strike and the post-strike repositioning of equipment for normal operations, along with the higher traffic volume, resulted in increased expense in 1994. Including restructuring and productivity charges, total operating expense was $3.15 billion in 1993 and $3.01 billion in 1992. - 30 - PAGE 31 Container-Shipping Assets (Owned or leased as of December 30, 1994) Containers 40- and 20-foot dry vans 155,648 45-foot dry vans 9,265 Refrigeration vans 17,467 Other specialized equipment 5,310 ------- Total 187,690 ======= Container ships 93 Terminals Exclusive-use 8 Preferred berthing rights 15 The increase in the cost of bunker fuel during the summer led to a 9% rise in fuel expense. In addition, severe winter weather in the northeastern United States led to higher-than-expected fuel costs in the first quarter of 1994. Sea-Land's ongoing commitment to lower its cost base by re- engineering operations resulted in more than $100 million of reduced expense in 1994, bringing the three-year total to more than $350 million. These reductions were achieved in terminal operations, maintenance, overhead and, through the efforts of Performance Improvement Teams, in areas such as parts inventories, equipment and accounts receivable. Sea-Land plans expense savings of approximately $100 million in 1995 in areas such as terminal efficiency, inventory reduction and labor. Productivity improvement efforts were hampered by the strike as the percentage of on-time vessel arrivals and lifts per hour declined. Sea-Land expects these figures to bounce back in 1995. Overall terminal efficiency is expected to improve with the implementation of Sea-Land's Terminal Automation System (TAS) over the next few years. This system tracks cargo in the terminal and is designed to decrease terminal throughput time. In February 1995, Sea-Land received approval from the Maritime Administration (MARAD) to reflag five U.S.-flag vessels to the registry of the Marshall Islands. The unit estimates that this reflagging will result in a net reduction in annual operating expense of approximately $2.5 million per ship. Applications to reflag eight more Sea-Land vessels are pending at MARAD. Sea- Land remains hopeful that Congress will approve legislation authorizing payments to reimburse or compensate for the additional cost of operating and maintaining U.S.-flag ships. Capital additions for 1994 totaled $199 million, including $134 million in expenditures and $65 million in present value of new long-term operating leases. The total compares with $172 million in 1993 and $236 million in 1992. In 1994, Sea-Land contracted for the construction of five high- performance, fuel-efficient container vessels and the modification of three - 31 - PAGE 32 Atlantic Class Vessels (ACVs) in its fleet. The three ACV modifications were completed in 1994; two of the new ships will be delivered late in 1995 and three in 1996. Approximately $57 million of capital was spent in 1994 on the first phase of this $315 million vessel program. The five new vessels will replace capacity in the trans-Pacific trade while the modified ACVs, which serve the AME trade, will have increased speed and efficiency with the same effective capacity. These new and refurbished ships will enable Sea-Land to replace older, higher-cost assets while gaining efficiency and improving service. Sea-Land spent $44 million of capital to enhance its rolling stock of containers and $24 million to upgrade and refurbish terminal facilities. The remaining portion of capital was dedicated to technology and other areas. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Sea-Land announced a global integration program, including a relocation of its corporate headquarters from Liberty Corner, N.J., to Charlotte, N.C. While the unit's estimate of the total cost is not yet finalized, it is expected to be approximately $50 million. Sea-Land will consolidate in Charlotte senior management functions now performed at its Seattle, Rotterdam and New Jersey offices. This will allow Sea-Land to streamline much of its administration and increase customer responsiveness. Sea-Land plans to begin operations in Charlotte during the summer of 1995. The earthquake that struck Japan in January 1995 caused considerable property damage and business disruption to Sea-Land's operation at the Port of Kobe. Sea-Land responded quickly, becoming the first carrier to resume limited operations out of Kobe in late February. Sea-Land also started a supplemental service into the neighboring Port of Osaka and is making greater use of its terminals in Yokohama, Nagoya and Tokyo. Company officials estimate that the port will be fully operational by the fall of 1995. Currently, Sea-Land expects strong traffic in the Pacific trade to largely offset the earthquake's impact on operations. Intermodal Results Operating income at CSX Intermodal Inc. (CSXI) surged to $61 million in 1994, 15% ahead of 1993's $53 million and 56% better than 1992's $39 million, excluding a productivity charge. Domestic and international traffic segments both experienced record volume and revenue growth in 1994. In 1992, CSXT transferred to CSXI $45 million of the productivity charge related to locomotive-crew buyouts. Including this charge, CSXI recorded an operating loss of $6 million in 1992. CSXI launched several new service initiatives in 1994 that increased its competitiveness and improved customer service. The most notable was the inauguration in August of daily direct intermodal service between the New York City area and Chicago. - 32 - PAGE 33 Operating revenue totaled $902 million, 14% higher than 1993 and 22% more than 1992. Domestic loads increased 11% over 1993 levels as a result of growing shipments from distributors, truckline partners and direct shippers. International traffic, reflecting increased volumes from ocean carriers, rose 14%. Intermodal Assets (Owned or leased as of December 30, 1994) Equipment Domestic Containers 3,386 Rail Trailers 9,584 Facilities CSX Intermodal Terminals 33 Motor Carrier Operations Terminals 28 CSX Services Facilities 18 CSXI forecasts continued volume growth and service expansions during 1995 as customers look for cost-effective transportation solutions. Also, initiatives are already under way to develop and expand new geographic markets and service options in 1995. In 1994, operating expense was $841 million, compared with $740 million in 1993 and $700 million in 1992, excluding the previously mentioned 1992 charge. The higher volumes and initial costs associated with the market expansion contributed to the increase. Including the 1992 charge, operating expense was $745 million. CSXI spent $50 million on capital expenditures in 1994, flat with 1993 and $22 million more than 1992. Improvements in terminals, equipment and technology were the major focus of spending. Plans for 1995 call for several major terminal expansions as well as the addition of new terminals at strategic locations. These projects and others that support CSXI's rapid growth, such as terminal automation and fleet expansion, are expected to boost capital spending to almost $70 million in 1995. CSXI also will continue developing and begin field testing its Iron Highway intermodal train concept in 1995. This concept employs a continuous platform with a split-ramp design that allows for rapid drive-on/drive-off loading, thereby reducing terminal costs and providing a highly reliable, cost-efficient service. The project made major strides in 1994, including the completion of track testing and the announcement of line-of-road testing in two corridors during 1995. The Iron Highway holds great promise for making intermodal competitive for motor carrier traffic in both short- and medium-haul corridors. Traditional intermodal rail economics have not provided this opportunity. - 33 - PAGE 34 Barge Results Operating income at American Commercial Lines Inc. (ACL) rebounded to $63 million as a result of northbound traffic growth, cost containment and an increase in grain traffic and rates late in the year. This income compares with $45 million in 1993 and $60 million in 1992. Grain, one of the barge unit's key commodities, was devastated by the flooding along the Mississippi River system in 1993. The resulting weak grain market, along with the severe winter weather, created an operating challenge for the barge line in early 1994. Given this environment, ACL successfully refocused on non-grain commodities, such as import steel and raw materials for steel mini-mills. Total operating revenue at ACL increased 8% to $449 million as a result of these efforts. This compared with $417 million and $443 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Total volume rose over weak prior-year figures as barge ton miles totaled 51 billion, an increase of 6 billion over 1993 and 3 billion more than 1992. Coal tonnage and revenue increased slightly during the year as world demand languished. ACL expects moderate growth in export coal in 1995 as world demand strengthens with improved economies in Europe and Japan. In 1995, the barge unit anticipates increased loadings on the continued strength of the northbound markets. Also, the record harvest is expected to push export demand for corn over 2 billion bushels, an increase of nearly 50% over 1994. Operating expense increased 4% to $386 million, driven by improved traffic volumes and higher repair costs. However, 1994's expenses vs. 1992's were nearly equivalent as the company offset costs associated with increased volume by improving operating efficiencies. This expense level also reflects ACL's ongoing re-engineering efforts. The higher level of barging activity in 1994 increased fuel consumption 9% while expense declined 5% due to lower prices. Compared with 1992, consumption rose 1% while expense decreased 15%. Like the rail unit, the barge company has focused considerable attention on employee safety awareness. In 1994, the incident rate of reportable injuries to employees improved 25% over 1993. Capital additions at ACL in 1994 totaled $15 million, compared with $13 million in 1993 and $152 million in 1992, which included $137 million for the acquisition of the Valley Line assets. Spending in 1994 focused primarily on terminal expansions and tanker barges. ACL's capital expenditures in 1995 are expected to increase modestly as the company renews a covered hopper construction program while continuing to upgrade its chemical tanker fleet. - 34 - PAGE 35 Barging Assets (Owned or leased as of December 30, 1994) Towboats 117 Barges Covered/open-top hoppers 3,055 Tankers 240 ----- Total 3,295 ===== Marine Services River terminals 11 Fleeting operations 15 Shipyards 2 CTI Results Customized Transportation Inc. (CTI) joined CSX in early 1993 with a 10-year reputation as a leading supplier of contract logistics primarily for the automotive industry. Operating income at CTI was $10 million in 1994, compared with $6 million in 1993. CTI generated operating revenue of $182 million in 1994 vs. $145 million in 1993. Approximately 71% of 1994 revenue was generated from automotive-related markets. Revenue is expected to grow aggressively over the next five years as CTI diversifies its customer base to include more non- automotive clients. Consolidated Outlook CSX enters 1995 with confidence and an optimistic outlook. Following the healthy growth of 1994, world economic expansion is expected to continue throughout 1995, led by the United States and improved prospects in Japan and Europe. With the capabilities provided by its global infrastructure, CSX stands ready to capitalize on the continued economic momentum, and the company expects to improve its earnings in 1995. CSX will continue to improve its performance, even though some of its units are subject to such unpredictable external factors as adverse weather conditions, work stoppages at major customer facilities and shifting economic conditions in the U.S. and foreign economies. CSX, like many other U.S. industrial-based companies, is concerned about the economic impact of higher interest rates. However, the company's base of non-economically sensitive commodities, such as coal and agricultural products, coupled with expense control efforts of its Performance Improvement Teams, helps CSX weather economic fluctuations. CSX units are committed to meeting their 1995 stretch targets to improve operating ratios and returns on invested capital - thus enhancing their core earning power and increasing shareholder returns. Equally important, CSX management and employees are committed to continually improving service for CSX customers worldwide. - 35 - PAGE 36 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) Fiscal Year Ended --------------------------------- Dec. 30, Dec. 31, Dec. 31, 1994 1993 1992 ------ ------ ------ OPERATING REVENUE Transportation $9,410 $8,767 $8,550 Non-Transportation 198 173 184 ------ ------ ------ Total 9,608 8,940 8,734 ------ ------ ------ OPERATING EXPENSE Transportation 8,232 7,806 7,644 Non-Transportation 144 128 125 Productivity/Restructuring Charge --- 93 699 ------ ------ ------ Total 8,376 8,027 8,468 ------ ------ ------ OPERATING INCOME 1,232 913 266 Other Income 55 18 3 Interest Expense 281 298 276 ------ ------ ------ EARNINGS (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES 1,006 633 (7) Income Tax Expense (Benefit) 354 274 (27) ------ ------ ------ NET EARNINGS $ 652 $ 359 $ 20 ====== ====== ====== EARNINGS PER SHARE $ 6.23 $ 3.46 $ .19 ======= ======= ======= AVERAGE COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING (THOUSANDS) 104,652 103,915 102,907 ======= ======= ======= COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING AT END OF YEAR (THOUSANDS) 104,722 104,143 103,476 ======= ======= ======= CASH DIVIDENDS PAID PER COMMON SHARE $ 1.76 $ 1.58 $ 1.52 ======= ======= ======= See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. -

39 - PAGE 40 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of CSX and its majority-owned subsidiaries as a single entity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in companies that are not majority-owned are carried at either cost or equity, depending on the extent of control. Change in Fiscal Year Effective January 1, 1994, the company changed its fiscal reporting period from a calendar year to a fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. The financial statements presented are for the fiscal years ended December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments Cash in excess of current operating requirements is invested in various short-term instruments carried at cost that approximates market value. Those short-term investments having a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are net of outstanding checks that are funded daily from cash receipts and maturing short-term investments. Accounts Receivable During 1993, a special purpose subsidiary of the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering $250 million of Trade Receivable Participation Certificates ("Certificates") evidencing undivided interests in a trade accounts receivable master trust. The master trust assets include an ownership interest in a revolving portfolio of rail freight accounts receivable. Subsequently, the company issued $200 million of Certificates, at 5.05%, due September 1998. The Certificates are collateralized by $234 million of accounts receivable held in the master trust. The proceeds from the issuance of the Certificates were used to reduce the amount of accounts receivable sold under a previous agreement. In addition, the company has a five-year revolving agreement with a financial institution to sell with recourse on a monthly basis an undivided percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts receivable up to a maximum of $200 million. CSX has retained the collection responsibility with respect to accounts receivable held in trust or sold. - 40 - PAGE 41 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Accounts Receivable, Continued At December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, accounts receivable have been reduced by $372 million, $380 million and $400 million, respectively, representing Certificates and receivables sold. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable, including receivables collateralizing Certificates and receivables sold. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $84 million, $87 million and $96 million have been applied as a reduction of accounts receivable at December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Materials and Supplies Materials and supplies are carried at average cost. Properties Properties are carried principally at cost. Provisions for depreciation of rail property and equipment are based on estimated useful service lives of seven to 42 years, computed primarily on the straight-line composite method. Under this method, ordinary gains and losses on dispositions are recorded to accumulated depreciation. Provisions for depreciation of non-rail property and equipment are based on estimated useful service lives of three to 45 years, computed on the straight-line unit basis method, and gains and losses on dispositions are recorded in earnings as incurred. Environmental Costs Environmental costs that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to remediating an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when CSX's responsibility for environmental remedial efforts is deemed probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or the company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments may be used from time to time by the company in the management of its interest, foreign currency and commodity exposures, and are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income and expense are recorded in the same category as that of the underlying asset or liability. There were no significant derivative financial instruments outstanding at December 30, 1994. - 41 - PAGE 42 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Gains and losses related to hedges of existing assets or liabilities are deferred and recognized over the expected remaining life of the related asset or liability. Gains and losses related to hedges of anticipated transactions are also deferred and recognized in income in the same period as the hedged transaction. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Dilution, which could result if all outstanding common stock equivalents were exercised, is not significant. Prior-Year Data Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. NOTE 2. PRODUCTIVITY AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. 1993 Restructuring Charge The company recorded a $93 million pretax charge in the first quarter of 1993 to recognize the estimated costs of restructuring certain operations and functions at its container-shipping unit. Of the total charge, $32 million provided for employee separations and the remaining $61 million related to various exit and settlement costs. The restructuring charge reduced net earnings for 1993 by $61 million, 59 cents per share. As of December 30, 1994, payments totaling $63 million have been recorded as a reduction of the liability for the restructuring charge. 1992/1991 Productivity Charges In the fourth quarter of 1991, the company recorded a charge to provide for the estimated costs of implementing work force reductions, improvements in productivity and other cost reductions at its major transportation units. The charge amounted to $755 million on a pretax basis and reduced 1991 net earnings by $490 million, $4.88 per share. In the second quarter of 1992, the company recorded a charge principally to recognize the estimated additional costs of buying out certain trip-based compensation paid to train crews. The additional pretax charge amounted to $699 million and reduced net earnings for 1992 by $450 million, $4.38 per share. Of the combined charges, $1.3 billion was provided for negotiated employee separations and associated liabilities and $151 million related to various exit costs and claims expected to result from consolidation of terminal operations and other negotiated settlements. The $1.3 billion portion of the combined charges attributable to CSX Transportation Inc. ("CSXT"), the company's rail unit, includes $1.2 billion for reductions from three-to-two person train crews and for buying out productivity funds and short-crew allowances. CSXT has reached labor - 42 - PAGE 43 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 2. PRODUCTIVITY AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES, Continued agreements across all portions of its rail system where it is allowed to operate trains with two-member crews. As of December 30, 1994, payments totaling $760 million have been recorded as a reduction of the aggregate liabilities for the productivity charges. The remaining liability consists of $376 million for employee separations and associated costs. NOTE 3.

INCOME TAXES. Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 superseded SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which the company adopted in 1987. SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Net earnings for 1993 were not impacted by the adoption of SFAS No. 109. As permitted under the new rules, prior-year financial statements have not been restated. Earnings from domestic and foreign operations and related income tax expense are as follows: 1994 1993 1992 ----- ----- ----- Earnings (Loss) Before Income Taxes: - Domestic $ 893 $ 570 $ (67) - Foreign 113 63 60 ------ ----- ----- Total $1,006 $ 633 $ (7) ====== ===== ===== Income Tax Expense (Benefit): Current - Federal $ 144 $ 71 $ 27 - Foreign 20 18 15 - State 14 4 3 ------ ----- ----- Total Current 178 93 45 ------ ----- ----- Deferred - Federal 165 160 (72) - Foreign 2 1 2 - State 9 20 (2) ------ ----- ----- Total Deferred 176 181 (72) ------ ----- ----- Total Expense (Benefit) $ 354 $ 274 $ (27) ====== ===== ===== - 44 - PAGE 45 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 5.

(b) The company revised its annual effective tax rate in 1993 to reflect the change in the federal statutory rate from 34 to 35 percent. The effect of this change was to increase income tax expense by $51 million related to applying the newly enacted statutory income tax rate to deferred tax balances as of January 1, 1993. - 45 - PAGE 46 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 5.

The company has not recorded domestic deferred or additional foreign income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are reinvested. Such earnings amounted to $257 million, $213 million and $188 million at December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. These amounts could become taxable upon their remittance as dividends or upon the sale or liquidation of these foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of net additional income tax that would be payable if such earnings were repatriated. Income tax payments during 1994, 1993 and 1992 totaled $175 million, $92 million and $71 million, respectively. The company files a consolidated federal income tax return, which includes its principal domestic subsidiaries. Examinations of the federal income tax returns of CSX have been completed through 1987. Returns for 1988- 1990 are currently under examination. Management believes adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that might be assessed. - 46 - PAGE 47 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 6.

DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS, Continued During 1994, the company redeemed $300 million of 9.5%, 11.625% and 11.875% Sinking Fund Debentures. The redemption premium, unamortized debt discount and issuance costs totaling $18 million were charged to expense. In 1992, CSX issued $200 million of 8.625% debentures due 2022 under a June 1991 shelf registration to provide for the issuance of up to $250 million of debt securities. In September 1992, the company filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide for the issuance, from time to time, of up to $450 million of senior debt securities, warrants to purchase debt securities or currency warrants. As of December 30, 1994, CSX had issued $250 million of debt under this registration, including $100 million, 7% notes due 2002 and $150 million, 8.10% debentures due 2022. The proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt securities in 1992 were primarily used for the purchase of the assets of the Valley Line companies, costs for implementation of work force reductions and costs related to productivity improvements. The company maintains revolving credit agreements with domestic and foreign banks (aggregating $880 million) under which there were no borrowings as of December 30, 1994. Substantially all of these agreements have underlying debt maturities greater than 12 months. These agreements support $501 million of privately placed commercial paper outstanding at December 30, 1994, of which $300 million has been classified as long-term debt based upon the company's ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one year. Excluding long-term commercial paper, the company has long-term debt maturities during the next five years aggregating $312 million in 1995, $487 million in 1996, $79 million in 1997, $119 million in 1998 and $76 million in 1999. Substantially all of the company's rail unit properties are pledged as security for various rail-related, long-term debt issues. Commercial paper classified as short-term debt was $201 million at December 30, 1994, $164 million at December 31, 1993, and $4 million at December 31, 1992. The average interest rate for the short-term commercial paper outstanding at year-end was 6% for 1994, 3% for 1993 and 4% for 1992. The average amount of short-term commercial paper outstanding (average monthly interest rate) during 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $293 million (4%), $172 million (3%), and $60 million (4%), respectively. The maximum amount of short-term commercial paper outstanding was $449 million for 1994, $391 million for 1993 and $201 million for 1992. Interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, totaled $306 million, $304 million and $279 million, respectively, for 1994, 1993 and 1992. - 52 - PAGE 53 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 11. PREFERRED STOCK. The company has total authorized preferred stock of 25 million shares, of which 250,000 shares of Series A have been reserved for issuance, and 3 million shares of Series B have been reserved for issuance under the Shareholder Rights Plan. No shares have been issued as of December 30, 1994. All preferred shares rank senior to common shares both as to dividends and liquidation preference. NOTE 12. COMMON STOCK. The company has a single class of common stock, $1 par value, of which 300 million shares are authorized. Each share is entitled to one vote in all matters requiring a vote. The most recent quarterly dividend, paid in December 1994, was 44 cents per share. For the years ended December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, dividends were paid at the rate of $1.76, $1.58 and $1.52 per share. Stock Purchase and Loan Plan The 1991 Stock Purchase and Loan Plan provided for the issuance of grants to 153 eligible officers and key employees at December 30, 1994. The plan allowed for the purchase of common stock and related rights and also entitled those employees to obtain loans with respect to those shares of common stock. In July 1991, 2.2 million shares of common stock and related rights were reserved for issuance under this Plan. Shares were granted in 1991 and 1992 at market price on date of grant. The shares were purchased with a 5% down payment in the form of cash or recourse loans. The remaining 95% of the purchase price was in the form of non-recourse loans secured by the shares issued. The loans bear interest at rates set on the award date and are due on July 31, 1996. The Plan is intended to further the long-term stability and financial success of the company by providing a method for eligible employees to significantly increase their ownership of common stock. These loans were subject to certain adjustments after a vesting period if the market price of CSX common stock equaled or exceeded certain thresholds for a period of 10 consecutive business days. As of December 30, 1994, all interest (less dividends applied to accrued interest) and 25% of each participant's loan balance has been forgiven. - 53 - PAGE 54 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 12.

Officers and key employees who qualify for the 1991 Stock Purchase and Loan Plan are not eligible to participate in this Plan. To encourage ownership of the company's stock, employees receive a 17.65% matching payment on their contributions in the form of additional stock purchased by the company. Each matching payment of stock is subject to a two-year holding period. Sale of stock prior to the completion of the holding period will result in forfeiture of the matching stock purchase and dividends thereon. At December 30, 1994, there were 409,784 shares of common stock available for issuance under this Plan. Under the terms of the company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plans adopted in 1981, all employees and shareholders may purchase CSX common stock at the average of daily high and low sale prices for the five trading days ending on the day of purchase. To encourage ownership of the company's stock, employees receive a 5% discount on all purchases under this program. At December 30, 1994, there were 2,914,164 shares reserved for issuance under these Plans. - 54 - PAGE 55 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 12. COMMON STOCK, Continued Shareholder Rights Plan In June 1988, the board of directors of the company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right ("right") for each outstanding share of CSX common stock held as of June 8, 1988. The Shareholder Rights Plan was amended in 1990. Each right entitles shareholders of record to purchase from the company, until the earlier of June 8, 1998, or the redemption of the rights, one one-hundredth of a share of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $100, subject to certain adjustments or, under certain circumstances, to obtain additional shares of common stock of the company in exchange for the rights. The rights will not be exercisable or transferable apart from the CSX common stock until the earlier of 10 days following the public announcement that a person or affiliated group has acquired or obtained the right to acquire 20% or more of CSX's common stock; or 10 days following the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of the company's outstanding common stock. The board of directors may redeem the rights at a price of one cent per right at any time prior to the acquisition by a person of 20% or more of the outstanding CSX common stock. 1987 Long-Term Performance Stock Plan The CSX Corporation 1987 Long-Term Performance Stock Plan, which superseded the 1980 and 1981 stock option plans, provides for awards to a group of 357 officers and employees. The awards are based on increases in the current market value of CSX common stock over the market value at date of grant or the financial performance of CSX, or both. During 1994, 5 million additional shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this Plan. At December 30, 1994, a total of 10,738,768 shares were reserved for issuance, of which 4,794,498 were available for new grants (1,200,578 at December 31, 1993).

Stock Award Plan In 1990, the company implemented a Stock Award Plan whereby all officers and employees of the company are eligible to receive shares of CSX common stock as an incentive award. All awards of common stock shall be issued based on terms and conditions approved by the Compensation Committee of the company's board of directors. At December 30, 1994, there were 990,208 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, of which 664,710 were available for new grants. Directors' Stock Plan In 1992, the board of directors of the company adopted a stock plan for directors that changes the manner in which fees and retainers are paid. A minimum of 40% of the retainer fees must be paid in common stock of the company. In addition to the basic level of payment in stock, each director may elect to receive up to 100% of the remaining retainer and fees in the form of common stock of the company. The Plan permits each director to elect to transfer stock into a trust that will hold the shares until the participant's death, disability, retirement as a director, other cessation of services as a director, or change in control of the company. At December 30, 1994, there were 489,808 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under this Plan. - 56 - PAGE 57 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 13.

Current Assets and Current Liabilities The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate their fair values. Long-Term Marketable Securities The fair values of long-term marketable securities were based on the quoted market prices as of the respective year-end dates. Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Debt The carrying amounts of the company's borrowings under its short-term debt arrangements approximate their fair value. The fair values of the company's long-term debt have been estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. - 57 - PAGE 58 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 13.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, Continued Pension Plans, Continued The projected benefit obligations were determined using assumed discount rates of 8.25% for 1994, 7.25% for 1993 and 8.25% for 1992; and an estimated long-term salary increase rate of 5% for 1994, 1993, and 1992. Net pension cost was determined using expected long-term rates of return on assets of 8.75% for 1994, 9.75% for 1993 and 10.5% for 1992. The effect of adjusting the assumed discount rate for 1994, 1993 and 1992 changed the relative funded status of a major plan and resulted in the recognition of an aggregate additional minimum pension liability. Savings Plans The company has established savings plans for virtually all full-time salaried employees and certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements of CSX and subsidiary companies. Eligible employees may contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation in 1% multiples to these plans. CSX matches eligible employees' contributions in an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of each participating employee's contributions or 3% of their annual compensation. In addition, CSX contributes fixed amounts for each participating employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Expense for these plans for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $31 million, $32 million and $29 million, respectively. Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans In addition to the company's defined benefit pension plans, CSX has three defined benefit post-retirement plans covering most full-time salaried employees. Two plans provide medical benefits and another plan provides life insurance benefits. The post-retirement health care plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accounting for the health care plans anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the written plans that are consistent with the company's expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the expected medical inflation rate for that year. The life insurance plan is non-contributory. - 61 - PAGE 62 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, Continued Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans, Continued The company's current policy is to fund the cost of the post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, as in prior years. The amounts recognized for the combined plans in the company's statement of financial position at December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as follows: 1994 -------------------- Life Medical Insurance Plans Plan ---- ---- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation: Retirees $172 $66 Fully Eligible Active Participants 26 3 Other Active Participants 39 3 ---- --- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation 237 72 Unrecognized Prior Service Cost 23 6 Unrecognized Net Loss (25) (7) ---- --- Net Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation $235 $71 ==== === 1993 -------------------- Life Medical Insurance Plans Plan ---- ---- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation: Retirees $181 $73 Fully Eligible Active Participants 27 3 Other Active Participants 42 3 ---- --- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation 250 79 Unrecognized Prior Service Cost 29 7 Unrecognized Net Loss (50) (14) ---- --- Net Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation $229 $72 ==== === - 62 - PAGE 63 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, Continued Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans, Continued 1992 -------------------- Life Medical Insurance Plans Plan ---- ---- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation: Retirees $149 $65 Fully Eligible Active Participants 24 3 Other Active Participants 32 2 ---- --- Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation 205 70 Unrecognized Prior Service Cost 36 7 Unrecognized Net Loss (13) (4) ---- --- Net Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation $228 $73 ==== === Net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $29 million, $23 million and $29 million, respectively. The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plans is 11% for 1994-1995 and is assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5% by 2005 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for the medical plans as of December 30, 1994, by 9%, and net periodic post-retirement benefit expense for 1994 by $3 million. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 8.25% for 1994, 7.25% for 1993 and 8.25% for 1992. Other Plans Under collective bargaining agreements, the company participates in a number of union-sponsored, multi-employer benefit plans. Payments to these plans are made as part of aggregate assessments generally based on number of employees covered, hours worked, tonnage moved or a combination thereof. The administrators of the multi-employer plans generally allocate funds received from participating companies to various health and welfare benefit plans and pension plans. Current information regarding such allocations has not been provided by the administrators. Total contributions of $209 million, $211 million and $194 million, respectively, were made to these plans in 1994, 1993 and 1992. - 63 - PAGE 64 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 15. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. Lease Commitments CSX leases equipment under agreements with terms up to 21 years. Non-cancelable, long-term leases generally include options to purchase at fair value and to extend the terms. At December 30, 1994, minimum building and equipment rentals under non-cancelable operating leases totaled approximately $405 million for 1995, $378 million for 1996, $371 million for 1997, $347 million for 1998, $302 million for 1999 and $2.6 billion thereafter. Rent expense on operating leases, including net daily rental charges on railroad operating equipment of $258 million, $247 million and $205 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, amounted to $1.1 billion in 1994, 1993 and 1992. Deferred gains arising from sale-leaseback transactions are being amortized from 2 to 21 years and have reduced rent expense by $21 million, $24 million and $23 million, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Purchase Commitments CSXT entered into an agreement during 1993 to purchase 300 locomotives. This large single order covers CSXT's normal locomotive replacement needs for 1994 through 1997. This purchase agreement will introduce alternating current traction technology to CSXT's locomotive fleet. CSXT took delivery of 50 direct current and 30 alternating current locomotives in 1994, and the remaining 220 alternating current units will be delivered during 1995-1997. Sea-Land Service, Inc. ("Sea-Land"), the container-shipping unit of CSX, has entered into agreements for the construction of five high- performance, fuel-efficient container vessels. Estimated capital expenditures for these vessels are $278 million, of which $20 million was expended in 1994, with the remaining $258 million expected to be incurred over the next two to three years. Contingent Liabilities The company and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and jointly with others as guarantors of long-term debt and obligations principally relating to leased equipment, joint ventures and joint facilities. These contingent obligations amounted to approximately $81 million at December 30, 1994. - 64 - PAGE 65 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 15. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued Although the company obtains substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damage, reasonable levels of risk are retained on a self-insurance basis. A substantial portion of the insurance coverage, up to $100 million per occurrence from rail and certain other operations, is provided by companies owned or partially owned by CSX. CSXT is a party to various proceedings brought both by private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party in a number of governmental investigations and actions relating to environmentally impaired sites that are or may be subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund statute ("Superfund") or corresponding state statutes. The majority of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund typically involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial. The assessment of the required response and remedial costs associated with these sites is extremely complex. Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and existing technology, laws and regulations. CSXT frequently reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT's alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator, owner or operator), the extent of CSXT's alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location, and the number, connection and financial position of other named and unnamed potentially responsible parties at the location. Further, CSXT periodically reviews its exposure in all non-Superfund environmental proceedings with which it is involved. Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is involved, CSXT has recorded, and periodically reviews for adequacy, reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, were $140 million, $131 million and $77 million, respectively. The liability has been accrued for future costs for all sites where the company's obligation is probable and where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the December 30, 1994 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next five years, funded by cash generated from operations. - 65 - PAGE 66 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 15. SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued The company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. Based upon information currently available, however, the company believes that its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations. The company believes that the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition. Legal Proceedings A number of legal actions, other than environmental, are pending against CSX and certain subsidiaries in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the ultimate results of environmental investigations, lawsuits and claims involving the company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company.

Fiscal 1994 began on January 1, 1994, and included 52 weeks. The four 13- week quarters ended on April 1, July 1, September 30 and December 30, 1994. (b) On December 1, 1994, the state of Florida elected to satisfy its remaining unfunded obligation issued in 1988 to consummate the purchase of 80 miles of track and right of way. The transaction resulted in cash proceeds of $102 million, an accelerated pretax gain of $69 million, and increased net earnings by $42 million, 40 cents per share. (c) The company recorded a $93 million pretax charge in the first quarter of 1993 to recognize the estimated costs of restructuring certain operations and functions at its container-shipping unit. The restructuring charge reduced net earnings by $61 million, 59 cents per share. (d) The company revised its estimated annual effective tax rate in the third quarter of 1993 to reflect the change in the federal statutory rate from 34 to 35 percent. The effect of this change was to increase income tax expense for the third quarter of 1993 by $54 million, 52 cents per share. Of this amount, $51 million, 48 cents per share, related to applying the newly enacted statutory income tax rate to deferred tax balances as of January 1, 1993. (e) Includes impact of $699 million pretax productivity charge, $450 million after-tax, $4.38 per share, to reflect the estimated costs of implementing work-force reductions. (f) In the fourth quarter of 1992, the company adjusted its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, which increased fourth-quarter earnings by $5 million, 5 cents per share. - 67 - PAGE 68 CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (All Tables in Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts) NOTE 17.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above (appearing on pages 36-70) present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CSX Corporation and subsidiaries at December 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP --------------------- Ernst & Young LLP Richmond, Virginia January 27, 1995 - 71 - PAGE 72 BOARD OF DIRECTORS - ------------------ Edward L.

We do not know the identity of individual shareholders who hold stock in this manner. We know only that a broker holds a certain number of shares that may be for any number of customers. If your stock is in a street-name account, you are not eligible to participate in the company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Also, you will receive your dividend payments, annual reports and proxy materials through your broker. You should notify your broker, not Harris Trust, if you wish to eliminate unwanted, duplicate mailings and improve the timeliness on the delivery of these materials and your dividend payments. Lost or Stolen Stock Certificates If your stock certificates are lost, stolen or in some way destroyed, you should notify Harris Trust in writing immediately. Multiple Dividend Checks and Duplicate Mailings Some shareholders hold their stock on CSX records in similar but different names (e.g. John A. Smith and J.A. Smith). When this occurs, we are required to create separate accounts for each name. Although the mailing addresses are the same, we are required to mail separate dividend checks to each account. Duplicate mailings of annual reports can be eliminated if you send the labels or copies of the labels from a CSX mailing to Harris Trust. You should mark the labels to indicate names to be kept on the mailing list and names to be deleted. However, this action will affect mailings of financial materials only. Dividend checks and proxy materials will continue to be sent to each account. Consolidating Accounts If you want to consolidate separate accounts into one account, you should contact Harris Trust for the necessary forms and instructions. When accounts are consolidated, it may be necessary to reissue the stock certificates. Dividends CSX pays quarterly dividends on its common stock on or about the 15th of March, June, September and December, when declared by the board of directors, to shareholders of record approximately three weeks earlier. CSX now offers direct deposit of dividends to shareholders who request it. If you are interested, please contact Harris Trust at the address or phone number shown above. Replacing Dividend Checks If you do not receive your dividend check within 10 business days after the payment date or if your check is lost or destroyed, you should notify Harris Trust so payment on the check can be stopped and a replacement issued. - 80 - PAGE 81 SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION, Continued Dividend Reinvestment CSX provides dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plans for shareholders of record and employees as a convenient method of acquiring additional CSX shares by reinvestment of dividends or by optional cash payments, or both. The Shareholders Dividend Reinvestment Plan permits automatic reinvestment of common stock dividends without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. In fact, under the plan, you may elect to continue receiving dividend payments while making cash payments of up to $1,500 per month for investment in additional CSX shares without any fee. For a prospectus or other information on the plan, write or call the Harris Trust Dividend Reinvestment Department at the address or telephone number shown on page 79. Proxy and Financial Supplement to the Annual Report Proxy materials are forwarded to shareholders with this annual report, and shareholders are urged to vote, sign and return their Proxy promptly. Copies of the Financial Supplement to the Annual Report will be available to shareholders at the annual meeting, or may be reserved by contacting Katherine E. Wilson at the address shown on page 79. The Financial Supplement is not automatically mailed to shareholders. - 81 - PAGE 82 CSX CORPORATION FORM 10-K SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, on the 3rd day of March 1995.
