                           LYONDELL CHEMICAL COMPANY

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Lyondell
Chemical Company ("Lyondell") 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Certain amounts
from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.

2.  UNUSUAL CHARGES

During the third quarter 2001, Lyondell recorded a charge of $78 million
associated with its decision to exit the aliphatic diisocyanates ("ADI")
business.  The decision reflected the limited ongoing strategic value of the ADI
business and its poor competitive position.  The decision involves the shutdown
of Lyondell's ADI manufacturing unit at the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility,
which also produces toluene diisocyanate ("TDI").  The action includes a 20%
reduction of the Lake Charles workforce, including all ADI positions and some
TDI positions at the site as well as ADI-related research and sales positions at
other locations.  The $78 million charge included $51 million to adjust the
carrying values of the ADI assets to their net realizable value, and accrued
liabilities of $23 million for exit costs and $4 million for severance and other
employee-related costs for nearly 100 employee positions that are being
eliminated.  Through September 30, 2001, there were no payments against the
accrued liabilities.

3.  GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS

On March 31, 2000, Lyondell completed the sale of the polyols business and
ownership interests in its U.S. propylene oxide ("PO") manufacturing operations
to Bayer AG and Bayer Corporation (collectively "Bayer") for approximately $2.45
billion.  Lyondell recorded a pretax gain on the sale of $544 million during the
first quarter 2000.  In the third quarter 2000, the final settlement of working
capital with Bayer and resolution of certain estimated liabilities resulted in
the recording of an additional pretax gain on the sale of $46 million.

As part of the asset sale, Lyondell accrued liabilities of $53 million for
employee severance, relocation and other employee benefits, covering
approximately 850 employees.  The affected employees were generally terminated
on or about April 1, 2000, with a limited number providing transition services
through mid-2001.  During the third quarter 2000, Lyondell reduced the accrued
liability by $25 million due to a reduction in the number of affected employees
and significantly lower than expected payments of severance and other benefits.
Payments of $27 million for severance, relocation and other employee benefits
were made through September 30, 2001. Lyondell expects to settle the remainder
of the liability of less than $1 million by the end of 2001.

9.  LONG-TERM DEBT

In September 2001, Lyondell amended its credit facility making certain financial
ratio requirements less restrictive.  As a result of the September 2001
amendment, the margin used to calculate the variable interest rate increased by
0.50% per annum.  Lyondell had previously obtained an amendment to the credit
facility and the financial ratio requirements in March 2001.

Long-term debt consisted of the following:



                                                                                 SEPTEMBER 30,          DECEMBER 31,

Lyondell's credit facility required Lyondell to issue $470 million of
subordinated notes, or more junior securities, by June 2002.  The requirement
was eliminated in May 2001 as a result of Lyondell achieving a specified total
debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as provided in the credit facility, as of
December 31, 2000.

                                       7


10.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of January 1, 2001, Lyondell adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.  Under SFAS No. 133, all derivative
instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.  Currently,
Lyondell uses only cash flow hedges.  Gains or losses from changes in the fair
value of the derivative used in a cash flow hedge are deferred in accumulated
other comprehensive income, to the extent the hedge is effective, and
subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the forecasted
transaction.

Lyondell's Board of Directors has authorized Lyondell to enter into certain
hedge transactions, but does not permit speculative positions.  Lyondell
formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking
the hedge.  This process includes specific identification of the hedging
instrument and the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and
the method for assessing the hedging instrument's effectiveness.  Both at the
inception of the hedge and on an ongoing quarterly basis, Lyondell assesses
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly
effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

During 2000, Lyondell entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge
foreign exchange exposures related to euro-denominated capital commitments on
the PO-11 construction project. At December 31, 2000, forward contracts in the
notional amount of 134 million euros, or approximately $125 million, were
outstanding. Based on quoted market prices, the fair market value of these
derivative instruments at December 31, 2000 represented an asset of nearly $1
million. On January 1, 2001, in accordance with the transition provisions of
SFAS No. 133, Lyondell recorded an after-tax gain of less than $1 million as a
transition adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income, representing
the cumulative effect of an accounting change (see Note 12).

During the second quarter 2001, Lyondell entered into additional foreign
currency forward contracts in the notional amount of 86 million euros to hedge
foreign exchange exposures related to euro-denominated capital commitments on
the PO-11 construction project for the year 2002 (see Note 11). In addition,
Lyondell entered into price swap contracts with Occidental Energy Marketing,
Inc., a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, covering 37.8 million
gallons of unleaded gasoline to hedge the cost of butane, a key raw material of
MTBE.

As of September 30, 2001, the notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency
forward contracts, which mature from October 2001 through December 2002, totaled
136 million euros, or approximately $124 million at September 30, 2001 exchange
rates.  The contracts were recognized at their fair value on September 30, 2001,
resulting in an unrealized pretax gain of $4 million, all of which was deemed
effective and, therefore, a $3 million after tax gain was recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive income.  The $3 million gain recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income is expected to be reclassified from
October 2001 through December 2002 and included in plant construction costs.  As
of September 30, 2001, price swap contracts covering 42 million gallons of
unleaded gasoline, which mature from October 2001 through December 2001, were
outstanding.  The contracts were recognized at their fair value on September 30,
2001, resulting in an unrealized pretax gain of $4 million of which 90% was
deemed effective and recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.  The
ineffective portion, which was less than $1 million, was recorded as a component
of cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.  The $2 million
after-tax gain related to the effective portion of the $4 million pretax gain
was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is expected to be
reclassified to the consolidated statements of income from October 2001 through
December 2001.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Bayer Claim--In June 2001, Bayer AG delivered a notice of claim to Lyondell in
relation to its March 2000 purchase of Lyondell's polyols business, asserting
various claims relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties
related to condition of the business and assets.  The notice of claim seeks
damages in excess of $100 million.  Lyondell will vigorously contest the claims
and does not expect the resolution of the claims to result in any material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.  The agreement governing the transaction with Bayer provides a formal
dispute resolution process, the final step of which would be binding arbitration
in Houston, Texas.

Capital Commitments--Lyondell has commitments, including those related to
capital expenditures, all made in the normal course of business.  At September
30, 2001, major capital commitments included Lyondell's 50% share of those
related to the construction of a world-scale PO facility, known as PO-11, in The
Netherlands and a major expansion of a TDI facility in France.  Lyondell's
outstanding commitments on these two projects totaled approximately $151 million
as of September 30, 2001.

Leases--During the third quarter 2000, construction began on a new butanediol
("BDO") facility in Europe known as BDO-2.  Construction is being financed by a
third party lessor.  Upon completion in the second quarter of 2002, a subsidiary
of Lyondell will lease the facility under an operating lease for a term of five
years.  Lyondell may, at its option, purchase the facility at any time up to the
end of the lease term for an amount equal to the unrecovered construction costs
of the lessor, as provided in the transaction documents.  If Lyondell does not
exercise the purchase option, the facility will be sold and Lyondell will pay
the lessor a termination fee to the extent the sales price is less than the
residual value of the facility, as provided in the transaction documents.  The
residual value at the end of the lease term is estimated at approximately 206
million euros, or $188 million using September 30, 2001 exchange rates.  In the
transaction documents for BDO-2, Lyondell agreed to comply with certain
financial and other covenants that are substantially the same as those contained
in the credit facility.  A breach of those covenants could result in, among
other things, Lyondell having to pay the project costs incurred to date.  In
September 2001 and March 2001, Lyondell amended the transaction documents
consistent with the related amendments to its credit facility.  See Note 9 for a
discussion of the amendments to the credit facility.

                                       9


TDI Agreements--In January 1995, ARCO Chemical Company ("ARCO Chemical") entered
into a tolling agreement and a resale agreement with Rhodia covering the entire
TDI output of Rhodia's two plants in France, which have a combined average
annual capacity of approximately 264 million pounds.  Lyondell is currently
required to purchase an average minimum of 212 million pounds of TDI per year
under the agreements.  The aggregate purchase price is a combination based on
plant cost and market price.  In the second quarter 2000, Lyondell entered into
a series of arrangements with Rhodia to expand the capacity at the Pont de Claix
plant, which provides TDI to Lyondell under the tolling agreement.  The
expansion will add approximately 105 million pounds of average annual capacity
at the Pont de Claix plant, resulting in a total average annual capacity of
approximately 269 million pounds, which is scheduled to be available in December
2001.  After the completion of the expansion, all of the TDI that Lyondell
receives from Rhodia will come from the Pont de Claix plant, which is designed
to have a more efficient cost structure.  Lyondell's average minimum TDI
purchase commitment under the revised tolling agreement will be 197 million
pounds of TDI per year and will be extended through 2016.  The resale agreement,
covering output at the Lille plant, will expire December 31, 2001.

Crude Supply Agreement--Under the Crude Supply Agreement, PDVSA Petroleo, S.A.
("PDVSA Oil"), an affiliate of CITGO and of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A.
("PDVSA"), the national oil company of the Republic of Venezuela, is required to
sell, and LCR is required to purchase, 230,000 barrels per day of extra heavy
crude oil.  This constitutes approximately 86% of the refinery's refining
capacity of 268,000 barrels per day of crude oil.  By letter dated April 16,
1998, PDVSA Oil informed LCR that the Venezuelan government, through the
Ministry of Energy and Mines, had instructed that production of certain grades
of crude oil be reduced.  The letter stated that PDVSA Oil declared itself in a
force majeure situation and that PDVSA Oil would reduce deliveries of crude oil.
Such reductions in deliveries were purportedly based on announced OPEC
production cuts.  LCR began receiving reduced deliveries of crude oil from PDVSA
Oil in August 1998, amounting to 195,000 barrels per day in that month.  LCR was
advised by PDVSA Oil in May 1999 of a further reduction in the deliveries of
crude oil supplied under the Crude Supply Agreement to 184,000 barrels per day,
effective May 1999.

On several occasions since then, PDVSA Oil has further reduced crude oil
deliveries, although it made payments under a different provision of the Crude
Supply Agreement in partial compensation for such reductions.  Subsequently,
PDVSA Oil unilaterally increased deliveries of crude oil to LCR to 195,000
barrels per day effective April 2000, to 200,000 barrels per day effective July
2000 and to 230,000 barrels per day effective October 2000.

By letter dated February 9, 2001, PDVSA Oil informed LCR that the Venezuelan
government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mines, had instructed that
production of certain grades of crude oil be reduced effective February 1, 2001.
The letter stated that PDVSA Oil declared itself in a force majeure situation,
but did not announce any reduction in crude oil deliveries to LCR.  Although
some reduction in crude oil delivery may be forthcoming, it is unclear as to the
level of reduction, if any, which may be anticipated.  LCR has consistently
contested the validity of PDVSA Oil's and PDVSA's reductions in deliveries under
the Crude Supply Agreement and, specifically, Lyondell, on behalf of LCR, has
disputed the existence and validity of the purported force majeure situation
declared by the February 9, 2001 letter.

PDVSA has announced that it intends to renegotiate the Crude Supply Agreements
that it has with all third parties, including LCR.  However, they have confirmed
that they expect to honor their commitments if a mutually acceptable
restructuring of the Crude Supply Agreement is not achieved.  The breach or
termination of the Crude Supply Agreement would require LCR to purchase all or a
portion of its crude oil feedstocks in the merchant market, would subject LCR to
significant volatility and price fluctuations and could adversely affect LCR
and, therefore, Lyondell.

LCR Debt--On July 20, 2001, LCR obtained new credit facilities consisting of a
$450 million term loan and a $70 million revolving credit facility, both of
which mature in January 2003.  These new facilities replaced similar facilities,
which matured September 15, 2001, and will be used for working capital and
general business purposes.

                                       10


Cross Indemnity Agreement--In connection with the 1988 transfer of assets and
liabilities to Lyondell from Atlantic Richfield Company ("ARCO"), now wholly
owned by BP p.l.c., Lyondell agreed to assume certain liabilities arising out of
the operation of Lyondell's integrated petrochemicals and refining business
prior to July 1, 1988.  In connection with the transfer of such liabilities,
Lyondell and ARCO entered into an agreement, updated in 1997 ("Revised Cross-
Indemnity Agreement"), whereby Lyondell agreed to defend and indemnify ARCO
against certain uninsured claims and liabilities which ARCO may incur relating
to the operation of Lyondell prior to July 1, 1988, including certain
liabilities which may arise out of pending and future lawsuits.  For current and
future cases related to Lyondell's products and operations, ARCO and Lyondell
bear a proportionate share of judgment and settlement costs according to a
formula that allocates responsibility based upon years of ownership during the
relevant time period.  Under the Revised Cross-Indemnity Agreement, Lyondell
will assume responsibility for its proportionate share of future costs for waste
site matters not covered by ARCO insurance.

In connection with the acquisition of ARCO Chemical, Lyondell succeeded,
indirectly, to a cross indemnity agreement with ARCO whereby ARCO Chemical
indemnified ARCO against certain claims or liabilities that ARCO may incur
relating to ARCO's former ownership and operation of the businesses of ARCO
Chemical, including liabilities under laws relating to the protection of the
environment and the workplace, and liabilities arising out of certain
litigation.  As part of the agreement, ARCO indemnified ARCO Chemical with
respect to claims or liabilities and other matters of litigation not related to
the ARCO Chemical business.

Indemnification Arrangements Relating to Equistar--Lyondell, Millennium
Petrochemicals and certain subsidiaries of Occidental have each agreed to
provide certain indemnifications to Equistar with respect to the petrochemicals
and polymers businesses contributed by the partners.  In addition, Equistar
agreed to assume third party claims that are related to certain pre-closing
contingent liabilities that are asserted prior to December 1, 2004 as to
Lyondell and Millennium Petrochemicals, and May 15, 2005 as to certain
Occidental subsidiaries, to the extent the aggregate thereof does not exceed $7
million to each partner, subject to certain terms of the respective asset
contribution agreements.  As of September 30, 2001, Equistar had incurred
approximately $5 million under the $7 million indemnification basket with
respect to the business contributed by Lyondell.  Equistar also agreed to assume
third party claims that are related to certain pre-closing contingent
liabilities that are asserted for the first time after December 1, 2004 as to
Lyondell and Millennium Petrochemicals, and for the first time after May 15,
2005 as to certain Occidental subsidiaries.  As of September 30, 2001,
Equistar, Lyondell, Millennium Petrochemicals and certain subsidiaries of
Occidental amended the asset contribution agreements governing these
indemnification obligations to clarify the treatment of, and procedures
pertaining to the management of, certain claims arising under the asset
contribution agreements.  Lyondell believes that these amendments do not
materially change the asset contribution agreements.

Environmental--Lyondell's policy is to be in compliance with all applicable
environmental laws.  Lyondell is subject to extensive environmental laws and
regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to surface and
subsurface waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation,
treatment and disposal of waste materials.  Some of these laws and regulations
are subject to varying and conflicting interpretations.  Lyondell cannot
accurately predict future developments, such as increasingly strict
environmental laws and inspection and enforcement policies, as well as higher
compliance costs arising therefrom, which might affect the handling,
manufacture, use, emission or disposal of products, other materials or hazardous
and non-hazardous waste.

Lyondell is also subject to certain assessment and remedial actions at the LCR
refinery under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA").  In
addition, Lyondell has negotiated an order with the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission ("TNRCC") for assessment and remediation of groundwater
and soil contamination at the LCR refinery.  Lyondell also has liabilities under
RCRA and various state and foreign government regulations related to five
current plant sites and three former plant sites.

Lyondell is currently contributing funds to the clean up of two waste sites
located near Houston, Texas under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), as amended, and the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.  Lyondell has also been named, along
with several other companies, as a potentially responsible party for a third
CERCLA site near Houston, Texas.  In addition, Lyondell is involved in
administrative proceedings or lawsuits relating to a minimal number of other
CERCLA sites.  Lyondell estimates, based upon currently available information,
that potential loss contingencies associated with the latter CERCLA sites,
individually and in the aggregate, are not significant.

As of September 30, 2001, Lyondell's environmental liability for future
assessment and remediation costs at the above-mentioned sites totaled $26
million.  The liabilities per site range from less than $1 million to $12
million and are expected to be incurred over the next two to seven years.  In
the opinion of management, there is currently no material estimable range of
loss in excess of the amount recorded for these sites. However, it is possible
that new information about the sites for which the accrual has been established,
new technology or future developments such as involvement in other CERCLA, RCRA,
TNRCC or other comparable state or foreign law investigations, could require
Lyondell to reassess its potential exposure related to environmental matters.

The eight-county Houston/Galveston region has been designated a severe non-
attainment area for ozone by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA").
As a result, the TNRCC has submitted a plan to the EPA to reach and demonstrate
compliance with the ozone standard by November 2007.  Ozone is a product of the
reaction between volatile organic compounds ("VOCs") and nitrogen oxides ("NOx")
in the presence of sunlight, and is a principal component of smog.  The proposed
plans for meeting the ozone standard focus on significant reductions in NOx
emissions.  NOx emission reduction controls must be installed at LCR's refinery
and each of Lyondell's two facilities and Equistar's six facilities in the
Houston/Galveston region during the next several years, well in advance of the
2007 deadline.  Compliance with the provisions of the plan will result in
increased capital investment during the next several years and higher annual
operating costs for Equistar, Lyondell and LCR.  Lyondell estimates that
aggregate related capital expenditures could total between $400 million and $500
million for Lyondell, Equistar and LCR before the 2007 deadline.  Lyondell's
share of such expenditures could total between $65 million and $80 million, and
Lyondell's proportionate share of Equistar's and LCR's expenditures could total
between $160 million and $195 million.  The timing and amount of these
expenditures are subject to regulatory and other uncertainties, as well as
obtaining the necessary permits and approvals.  Lyondell has been actively
involved with a number of organizations to help solve the ozone problem in the
most cost-effective manner and, in January 2001, Lyondell and an organization
composed of industry participants filed a lawsuit against the TNRCC to encourage
adoption of their alternative plan to achieve the same air quality improvement
with less negative economic impact on the region.  In June 2001, the parties
entered into a consent order with respect to the lawsuit.  Pursuant to the
consent order, the TNRCC agreed to review, by June 2002, the scientific data for
ozone formation in the Houston/Galveston region.  In October 2001, the EPA
approved the TNRCC plan.  However, if the TNRCC scientific review supports the
industry group proposal, the TNRCC has agreed to revise the NOx emission
reduction requirements set forth in its original plan.  Any revisions will have
to be approved by the EPA.  Such revisions of the NOx emission reduction
requirements would reduce the estimated capital investments required by
Lyondell, Equistar and LCR to comply with the plans for meeting the ozone
standard.

In the United States, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 set minimum levels
for oxygenates, such as methyl tertiary butyl ether ("MTBE"), in gasoline sold
in areas not meeting specified air quality standards.  However, while studies by
federal and state agencies and other organizations have shown that MTBE is safe
for use in gasoline, is not carcinogenic and is effective in reducing automotive
emissions, the presence of MTBE in some water supplies in California and other
states due to gasoline leaking from underground storage tanks and in surface
water from recreational water craft has led to public concern that MTBE may, in
certain limited circumstances, affect the taste and odor of drinking water
supplies, and thereby lead to possible public concerns.

Certain federal and state governmental initiatives have sought either to rescind
the oxygenate requirement for reformulated gasoline or to restrict or ban the
use of MTBE.  Such actions, to be effective, would require (i) a waiver of the
state's oxygenate mandate, (ii) Congressional action in the form of an amendment
to the Clean Air Act or (iii) replacement of MTBE with another oxygenate such as
ethanol, a more costly, untested and less widely available additive.  California
has twice sought a waiver of its oxygenate mandate.  California's request was
denied by both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration.
California is challenging the denial in court.  At the federal level, a blue
ribbon panel appointed by the EPA issued its report on July 27, 1999.  That
report recommended, among other things, reducing the use of MTBE in gasoline.
During 2000, the EPA announced its intent to seek legislative changes from
Congress to give the EPA authority to ban MTBE over a three-year period.  Such
action would only be granted through amendments to the Clean Air Act.
Additionally, the EPA is seeking a ban of MTBE utilizing rulemaking authority
contained in the Toxic Substance Control Act.  It would take at least three
years for such a rule to issue.  In January 2001, however, senior policy
analysts at the U.S. Department of Energy presented a study stating that banning
MTBE would create significant economic risk.  The study did not identify any
benefits from banning MTBE.  Additionally, in early 2001, after a thorough
evaluation of MTBE

                                       12


conducted in connection with proposed amendments to the 1998 European Council
directive on gasoline and diesel fuel specifications, the European Union
concluded that the use of MTBE in gasoline does not present a health risk to the
community or a risk to the environment, and decided not to restrict the use of
MTBE in the European Union. The EPA initiatives mentioned above or other
governmental actions could result in a significant reduction in Lyondell's MTBE
sales. Lyondell has developed technologies to convert tertiary butyl alcohol
("TBA") into alternate gasoline blending components should it be necessary to
reduce MTBE production in the future.

The Clean Air Act specified certain emissions standards for vehicles beginning
in the 1994 model year and required the EPA to study whether further emissions
reductions from vehicles were necessary starting no earlier than the 2004 model
year.  In 1998, the EPA concluded that more stringent vehicle emission standards
were needed and that additional controls on gasoline and diesel were necessary
to meet these emission standards.  New standards for gasoline were finalized in
1999 and will require refiners to produce a low sulfur gasoline by 2004, with
final compliance by 2006.  A new "on-road" diesel standard was adopted in
January 2001 and will require refiners to produce ultra low sulfur diesel by
June 2006, with some allowance for a conditional phase-in period that could
extend final compliance until 2009.  Lyondell estimates that these standards
will result in increased capital investment for LCR, totaling between $175
million to $225 million for the new gasoline standards and $250 million to $300
million for the new diesel standard, between now and the implementation dates.
Lyondell's share of LCR's capital expenditures would be between $250 million and
$300 million.  In addition, these standards could result in higher operating
costs for LCR.  Equistar's olefins fuel business may also be impacted if these
standards increase the cost for processing fuel components.

General--Lyondell is involved in various lawsuits and proceedings.  Subject to
the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, management believes the resolution
of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial
position or liquidity of Lyondell.

In the opinion of management, any liability arising from the matters discussed
in this note is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or liquidity of Lyondell. However, the adverse resolution in any
reporting period of one or more of these matters discussed in this note could
have a material impact on Lyondell's results of operations for that period
without giving effect to contribution or indemnification obligations of co-
defendants or others, or to the effect of any insurance coverage that may be
available to offset the effects of any such award.

14.  PURCHASE OF ARCO CHEMICAL COMPANY

In connection with the July 28, 1998 acquisition of ARCO Chemical, Lyondell
accrued liabilities for costs associated with the delay of construction of the
PO-11 plant, vesting of certain key manager benefits pursuant to a change of
control provision, severance costs for the involuntary termination of certain
headquarters employees and relocation costs for moving personnel to Lyondell's
Houston headquarters.  The total accrued liability for these items was
approximately $255 million at the date of acquisition.  Lyondell subsequently
revised the portion of the estimated liabilities for penalties and cancellation
charges related to the PO-11 lump-sum construction contract and related
commitments.  Based on the final negotiated terms, Lyondell reduced the accrued
liability by $13 million in 1999 and by $8 million in 2000.  In addition, during
2000 Lyondell finalized the portion of the accrued liability related to employee
costs and reduced the liability by $10 million.  The benefit in 2000 from the
accrual reversal was substantially offset by other acquisition-related costs.
Through September 30, 2001, Lyondell had paid and charged approximately $214
million against the accrued liability.  The remaining $10 million of the accrued
liability relates to PO-11 commitments and will be paid periodically through the
first quarter 2003.
