These financial statements are the responsibility of the CAP'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 misstatements. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefit of the CAP as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 and of reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ COOPERS& LYBRAND Oakland, California June 26, 1996 TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS DECEMBER 31 ----------------------------------- 1995 1994 ------------ ------------- Assets held for investment: Collective income funds $ 40,929,150 $ 40,150,382 Vanguard Mutual funds 75,407,749 48,789,702 Common stock funds 11,156,975 10,119,244 Participant loan receivables 1,507,280 953,683 Growth & Income Mutual Fund 709,165 ----------- -------------- Total assets 129,710,319 100,013,011 ---------------- -------------- Net assets available for benefits $129,710,319 $ 100,013,011 ================= ============== The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note A--Significant Accounting Policies The accounting records of the Tosco Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP) are maintained on the accrual basis. Money market reserves are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Investments in the Collective Income Fund include cash equivalents and Bank Investment Contracts (BICs), which are carried at fair value, and Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) with insurance companies, which are carried at contract value plus accumulated interest which approximates fair value. Tosco Corporation Common Stock, Phillips Petroleum Common Stock and other investment securities are traded in established exchanges and are stated at fair value as determined by reference to closing quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of investments consists of realized gains (losses) and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. In 1995 defined contribution plans were required to adopt the provisions of the AICPA's Statement of Position 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Plans and Defined-Contribution Plans" (SOP 94-4). SOP 94-4 requires the plan to report fully benefit responsive investment contracts at contract value and non-benefit responsive contracts at fair value. Benefit responsiveness is defined as the extent to which a contract's terms and the plan permit or require participant-initiated withdrawals at contract value. All of the Fund's contracts are fully benefit responsive. Accordingly, net assets available for benefits are not affected by this accounting change. Note B--Description of Plan The CAP is the successor to, and a consolidation of, predecessor employee savings plans. The primary purpose of the CAP is to afford eligible employees of Tosco Corporation (Tosco) an opportunity to supplement their retirement income by investing, through regular payroll deductions and on a tax-deferred basis under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), in any one of or a combination of several investment funds. Employees of Tosco with at least one year of service are eligible to participate in the CAP. All contributions to the CAP are invested according to the employee's direction. The following contribution provisions apply to all employees: Employees may elect to contribute from 2% to 15% of eligible compensation (up to $150,000 in 1995 and 1994) to the CAP on a pre-tax basis, after-tax basis, or a combination of both, in 1% increments. However, in 1995 and 1994, pre-tax contributions could not exceed $9,240. The first 6% of compensation contributed to the CAP by an employee is matched by Tosco. The level of the matching contribution is reduced from 100% to 75% if an employee has participated in the CAP for 60 months or less. Tosco makes additional non-matching contributions of 5% of eligible compensation (up to $150,000 in 1995 and 1994) to the CAP accounts of non-union employees who are ineligible to participate in the Tosco Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. Additionally, Tosco makes a 2% contribution for all eligible employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement or employed at the Bayway Refinery as a profit sharing contribution, regardless of whether the employee participates in the CAP or not. The profit sharing contribution is available for withdrawal when the employee retires or ceases employment with Tosco. Employees are immediately vested in their individual and in Tosco's contributions. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant's account is directly credited with the participant's contribution and the Company's matching contribution . Net earnings from investments in investment funds, which include appreciation (depreciation) in fair value, are allocated to each participant's account based on the ratio which the investment fund portion of that participant's account balance bears to the total of the investment fund portion of all participants' account balances. TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note B--Description of Plan (continued) Total employer and employee contributions to the CAP for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized below: 1995 1994 -------------- ---------- Contributions: Employer $ 7,757,486 $ 7,146,594 Employee 9,885,637 11,128,700 -------------- ------------ Total $ 17,643,123 $18,275,294 ============ =========== Administrative expenses of the CAP, which amounted to $118,788 for 1995 and $255,035 for 1994, were paid by Tosco and are not reflected in the financial statements of the CAP. Upon termination of employment, participants receive the market value of contributed funds, which may be greater or less than the amounts originally contributed. Benefits may be provided through the purchase of a 50% joint and survivor annuity (in the case of a married participant) or a life annuity (in the case of a single participant). Participants may also elect to receive benefits in a lump sum, another form of annuity or any other form approved by the Administrative Committee of the CAP. Married participants may not elect such other forms without the consent of their spouse. While it has not expressed any intention to do so, Tosco has the right under the CAP to discontinue contributions to the CAP at any time and to terminate the CAP subject to the provisions set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ROLLOVERS AND INDIVIDUAL TRANSFERS Rollover transfers from prior plans of new participant employees were $785,073 and $472,785 in 1995 and 1994 respectively. In addition, the acquisition of the Ferndale Refinery and the addition of its related employees resulted in rollover asset transfers of $1,762,989 in 1994. Total rollover amounts are included in contributions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits on page 6. TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note B--Description of Plan (continued) PARTICIPANT LOAN PROGRAM Participants may borrow up to 100% of their pre-tax contributions and related earnings (but not less than $1,000, or more than the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's CAP balance) for up to 5 years. The participants pay all loan origination and administrative fees. Interest at the Bank of America prime rate plus 1% at the time of loan origination is paid by the participant into the participant's CAP account. Interest rates for loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 range from 7% to 10%. Maturity dates of the loans outstanding range from February 1996 to January 2001. Note C--Assets Held for Investment The fair value of assets held for investment, the number of participants in each fund and the net realizable value (in $/share) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows: TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTE C - ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT December 31, 1995 December 31, 1994 ------------------ ----------------- Net Net Realizable Realizable Number of Value Number of Value Investment Description Participants $/Unit Fair Value Participants $/Unit Fair Value - ---------------------- ------------- --------- ---------- ------------- -------- ------------ American Express Income Fund G 800 11.41 $40,929,150 887 10.73 $40,150,382 Vanguard Group Mutual funds: Primecap 1,560 26.23 23,568,976 1,284 19.98 12,123,138 Wellington 1,488 24.43 25,130,292 1,436 19,39 18,635,301 Market Reserves (VMMR) Federal Portfolio 775 1.00 8,694,560 837 1.00 7,443,671 Index 500 Portfolio 1,100 57.60 12,606,085 972 42.97 7,341,158 Long Term U.S. Treasury Bond 438 10.79 3,543,056 419 9.05 1,888,662 International Growth Portfolio 275 15.02 1,864,780 187 13.43 1,357,772 Warburg Pincus Growth & Income 103 15.39 709,165 Phillips Petroleum Common Stock Fund 28 39.84 2,773,061 32 38.28 3,126,775 Tosco Common Stock Fund 891 15.24 8,383,914 889 11.66 6,992,469 Participant Loan Receivables 253 1,507,280 143 953,683 ------------ ----------- $129,710,319 $100,013,011 ============== ============== TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note C--Assets Held for Investment (continued) The Collective Income Fund (American Express Income Fund G) owns a proportional share in 126 GICs and 5 BICs with interest rates ranging from 4.54% to 8.78%. The CAP's share of the BICs and GICs mature as follows: 1996 $ 3,201,081 1997 4,184,075 1998 5,297,919 1999 4,262,545 2000 and beyond 6,101,314 ------------- $ 23,046,934 ============= The average yield and crediting interest rates for American Express Income Fund G for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 6.34% and 6.28% and 5.89% and 6.08% respectively. Contributions made by or on behalf of CAP participants are held under a trust agreement by the Vanguard Group (Vanguard), a mutual fund manager which offers a family of mutual fund investments with varying levels of risk and expected rates of return. American Express Trust Company is the auxiliary trustee for the Collective Income Fund. CAP participants may direct contributions to the following investment options. Collective Income Fund: American Express Income Fund G - The American Express Income Fund G invests in GICs, BICs, and money market securities. GICs are issued by large, high quality insurance companies that repay principal plus interest. BICs are similar contracts issued by banking institutions. Money market securities include certificates of deposit and Treasury Bills. The combination of the interest earned on the GICs, BICs and money market securities, less the costs of administering the fund, determines the fund's rate of return. Prior to July 15, 1994 costs of administrating the fund were paid by Tosco. TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note C--Assets Held for Investment (continued) Vanguard Group Mutual Funds: Primecap Fund - The Primecap Fund invests principally in a portfolio of common stocks of quality companies with undervalued assets, the potential for rapid earnings growth, or both. Dividend income is incidental. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the assets of the Primecap Fund will be in such common stocks, or in securities convertible into common stocks. Wellington Fund - The Wellington Fund invests in a portfolio of high-quality stocks and bonds normally in a ratio of 65% common stocks to 35% fixed income securities. Common stocks are selected principally on the basis of current dividend yield and reasonable prospects for earnings and dividend growth. The Wellington Fund's securities (corporate and government bonds and money market instruments) emphasize high quality consistent with attractive income yields. Money Market Reserves (VMMR) Federal Portfolio Fund- The Federal Portfolio invests mainly in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and agencies of the U.S. Government which mature in one year or less. The Federal Portfolio is designed to maintain a constant $1.00 per share value. Index 500 Portfolio Fund- The Index 500 Portfolio invests in a portfolio of common stocks and attempts to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly-traded stocks in the aggregate (as represented by the Standard & Poor's Composite Stock Price Index). Long-Term U.S. Treasury Bond Fund - The Long-Term U.S. Treasury Bond Fund invests primarily in long-term U.S. Treasury Bonds with an objective to provide a high level of current income. Although the fund has negligible credit risk, the market value of the fund will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates prevailing in the economy. International Growth Portfolio Fund - The International Growth Portfolio Fund invests in common stocks of companies based outside of the United States that are considered to have above-average growth and capital appreciation potential. Warburg Pincus Growth and Income Mutual Fund (Pincus) - The Pincus Fund invests principally in the securities of financially strong companies that offer high growth rates at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities including common stock and securities convertible to common stock. TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Note C--Assets Held for Investment (continued) The mix may also include dividend-paying equity securities, fixed income securities, and money market instruments. The Pincus Fund was offered as an additional choice for ongoing plan contributions effective April 10, 1995. Common Stock Funds: Phillips Petroleum Common Stock Fund - The Phillips Petroleum Common Stock Fund is a closed fund with investments in the common stock of Phillips Petroleum Company. Dividends earned are automatically reinvested in stock. Tosco Common Stock Fund - The Tosco Common Stock Fund (prior to July 15, 1994, a closed fund) invests primarily in Tosco Common Stock. A small cash position in Vanguard money market reserves is maintained to provide liquidity necessary for periodic transactions (distributions and fund exchanges). Note D--Income Taxes The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed Tosco by a letter dated September 21, 1995, that the CAP and related trust are designed to be exempt in accordance with applicable sections of the Code as amended. The CAP has been amended since receiving the determination letter. As the administrator and tax counsel believe that the CAP amendment is in compliance with the Code, no provision for income taxes has been included in the CAP's financial statements. Note E--Related Party Transactions Certain investments of the CAP are in shares of mutual funds managed by Vanguard. As Vanguard is trustee under a trust agreement with Tosco, these transactions qualify as party in interest transactions. In addition, certain investments of the CAP are in Tosco Common Stock. These transactions also qualify as party in interest transactions. Through June of 1994, certain investments were managed by American Express as an auxiliary trustee under a trust agreement with Tosco, qualifying these transactions as party in interest transactions. Party in interest expenses paid by Tosco for 1995 and 1994 were $81,762 and $171,538 respectively.
