REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. and the
Employee Benefit Plans Board of Conoco Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. (the "Plan") at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE THRIFT PLAN:
The following description of the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc.
(the "Plan") provides only general information. Members should refer to the Plan
document for the Plan's provisions.
THE PLAN
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which was established in 1952 by
Conoco Inc. (the "Company"). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conoco
Inc. (a different company having the same name, referred to as "New Conoco").
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and is a
tax-qualified contributory profit sharing plan. The purpose of the Plan is to
encourage employees to save systematically a portion of their current
compensation and to assist them in accumulation of additional financial means
for the time of their retirement. Employees of the Company, including employees
of affiliated companies that have adopted the Plan, 1) who have previously met
the eligibility requirements of the Plan, or 2) who have completed a designated
period of 12 consecutive months during which they complete 1,000 hours or more
of service, or 3) who are regular, full time employees or regular, part-time
employees, are eligible to participate in the Plan.
Effective January 1, 1999 a separate savings plan, the Thrift Plan for
Retail Employees of Conoco Inc. (the "Retail Plan"), was created for Conoco
retail employees. Retail employees eligible to participate in the Retail Plan
are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
An eligible participant may authorize the Company to make a payroll
deduction under the Plan ranging from 1% to 19% of monthly compensation. The
amount deducted can be deposited into a before-tax or after-tax account or some
combination thereof. Participants' monthly deductions up to 6% are called basic
deposits. The Company will contribute an amount equal to 100% of the
participant's monthly basic deposits. Effective March 1, 2000, the Company began
making a 1% additional contribution and a 4% discretionary contribution to the
Plan in the amount of the monthly compensation in the month preceding the month
in which such contribution is made of all employees eligible to participate in
the Plan in the month preceding the month in which the contribution is made. The
amount of the discretionary contribution is set once a year and remains in
effect for twelve consecutive months. Effective March 1, 2001 the Company
increased its discretionary contribution to the Plan from 4 percent to 5
percent. The Trustee acquires units of the Conoco B Common Stock Fund with these
additional and discretionary contributions. Units of the Conoco B Common Stock
Fund so acquired may be sold at any time at the election of a participant and
the proceeds invested in any of the other available investment options. Subject
to certain limitations, certain participants are eligible to make supplemental
deposits, either as lump sum deposits or deposits in the form of monthly
deductions in excess of 6% of monthly compensation. Due to the application of
Internal Revenue Code discrimination testing requirements, only "non-highly
compensated" participants are currently eligible to make cash lump sum
supplemental deposits.

CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Dollars in Thousands)
A participant with less than five years of participation credit or service
who withdraws any basic deposits will forfeit a portion of related Company
contributions in accordance with the specific Plan provisions. Company
contributions will be suspended for six months if a vested participant makes an
in-service withdrawal of any earnings in the before-tax or after-tax accounts,
or basic deposits or Company contributions contributed during the last 24
months. Employee deposits and matching Company contributions will be suspended
for up to 12 months if a participant withdraws any before-tax contribution prior
to age 59-1/2. In certain circumstances such a withdrawal may also preclude a
participant from making any before-tax contributions in the year following the
withdrawal.
Any vested participant who separates from service, including one who
retires, may elect to make a full account withdrawal at any time. Required
minimum distributions commence in April following the year in which a former
participant reaches age 70-1/2.
Participants may borrow up to one-half of their nonforfeitable account
balance subject to certain minimum and maximum loan limitations. The loans are
executed by promissory notes and have a minimum term of 12 months and a maximum
term of 60 months, except for qualified residential loans that have a maximum
term of 120 months. The loans bear an interest rate equal to the average rate
charged by selected major banks to prime customers for secured loans. The loans
are repaid over the term in monthly installments of principal and interest by
payroll deduction. A participant also has the right to repay the loan in full at
any time without penalty.
ADMINISTRATION
The assets of the Plan are held in two trusts, one of which holds the
assets which comprise the Stable Value Fund (known as the "Master Trust"), and
the other of which holds the remaining assets of the Plan. The designated
trustee of both trusts is Merrill Lynch Trust Company of America (the
"Trustee"). The administration of the Plan is vested in the Employee Benefit
Plans Board. The Board of Directors of Conoco Inc. or its delegate may designate
three or more persons to serve on the Employee Benefit Plans Board, which has
the authority to prescribe regulations for the administration of the Plan,
review all claims for benefits under the Plan, and enter into agreements
regarding the administration of the Plan. The Employee Benefit Plans Board also
has the responsibility for directing the Trustee to enter into contracts with
insurance companies, banks, and other investment organizations to provide
investments giving a stable rate of return to the Stable Value Fund.
Brokerage fees, transfer taxes, investment fees and other expenses incident
to the purchase and sale of securities and investments in the Stable Value Fund,
DuPont Stock, Conoco A Common Stock Fund, Conoco B Common Stock Fund, Merrill
Lynch Mutual Funds and Common/Collective Trusts, Asset Allocation Portfolios,
and Mutual Funds shall be included in the cost of such securities or
investments, or deducted from the sales proceeds, as the case may be. All
administrative expenses not specified in the preceding sentence shall be paid
out of rebates of record keeping costs and other discounts in
PAGE 9
THRIFT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES

CONOCO INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Dollars in Thousands)
connection with investment vehicles available in the Plan. If such rebates or
other discounts are paid to the Plan, any excess remaining after the reasonable
administration expenses of the Plan have been paid shall be allocated to the
accounts of all participants in the Plan who have an employee account balance
greater than zero on an allocation date designated by the Plan Administrator.
The balance of any administrative expenses not paid as described above, shall be
paid ratably by the Company and its affiliated companies participating in the
Plan.
While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it is
free to do so at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, all affected
participants become vested and the distribution of all account balances will be
made based upon the valuation of the participant's account on the termination
date.
INVESTMENT FUNDS
The following investment funds have been established for the investment of
employee deposits and Company contributions. Effective August 6, 1999, purchases
of DuPont common stock and Conoco Class A common stock are not allowed with
either fund transfers, future deposits, contributions or income, including
dividends. However, participants are able to purchase Conoco Class B common
stock which was added as an investment option to the Plan on August 16, 1999.
The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock generally have
identical rights, except that the holders of Class A common stock are entitled
to one vote per share while holders of Class B common stock are entitled to five
votes per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. The investment funds
are described below:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for the
Stable Value Fund guaranteed investment contracts, separate account guaranteed
investment contracts, and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, which are
stated at contract value. The Stable Value Fund guaranteed investment contracts,
separate account guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic guaranteed
investment contracts are fully benefit responsive and thus, are stated at cost
plus accrued interest, using the contracted interest rates applied to the daily
account balances. Mutual Funds are valued at quoted market prices that represent
the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Common/Collective
Trust Funds are stated at the fair value of all underlying assets as reported by
the applicable custodian. Loans to participants, short-term investments, and
cash are valued at cost that approximates fair value. DuPont common stock,
Conoco Class A common stock, and Conoco Class B common stock are valued at their
quoted market prices at year-end.
The purchase of shares of Conoco Class B common stock may be made in the
open market or from the Company if it shall have made treasury or authorized but
unissued shares available for such purchases, in which event the purchase price
shall be the closing price of such stock as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange - Composite Transactions on the last day preceding the date of such
purchase from the Company.
Effective August 7, 1999 dividends from all stock funds are invested
according to the participants' most recent investment direction. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded when earned.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of the DuPont Stock, Conoco A Common Stock
Fund and Conoco B Common Stock Fund investment securities are based on daily
average cost of the securities sold for each fund respectively. Purchases and
sales are recorded on a trade date basis.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current-year presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - MASTER TRUST (STABLE VALUE FUND)
The Stable Value Fund option provided by the Plan is also available to
participants in the Retail Plan, sponsored by Conoco Inc.; each plan's
beneficial interest in the commingled Master Trust funds is based on that plan's
proportionate share of the value of the total net assets in the Master Trust.
Investment income for each plan is calculated using this same basis. The Plan's
proportionate share of Master Trust net assets and investment income was
approximately 99.9% as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.
The Stable Value Fund consists of guaranteed investment contracts (GICs),
separate account GICs (SAGICs), synthetic guaranteed investment contracts
(SYNs), and short-term investments and cash.
The crediting interest rates ranged from 5.56% to 8.31% and 5.58% to 9.89%
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fund's blended
rate of return for the year was 6.73% in 2000 and 7.02% in 1999.
The crediting rates for most SAGIC and SYN contracts are reset annually and
are based on the market value of the underlying portfolio of assets backing
these contracts. Inputs used to determine the crediting rate include each
contract's portfolio market value, current yield-to-maturity, duration (i.e.,
the present value of the weighted average life), and market value relative to
contract value. All contracts have a guaranteed rate of 0% or higher.
