Exhibit 13
To Our Stockholders
In 1993 we accelerated our unrelenting drive to become the most
successful, customer-focused chemical and energy company in the world.
We made excellent progress on many fronts even though world economic conditions
remained very unfavorable and our industries continued to experience extensive
excess capacity. We enter 1994 with strong momentum primarily because our
employees understand the reality of this hostile environment and have made
outstanding efforts to strengthen our businesses worldwide. I am extremely
grateful for the determined spirit exhibited by our people in this time of great
uncertainty.
Excluding nonrecurring items, our earnings were up 25 percent compared to
the prior year even though sales declined. Strong cash management allowed us to
reduce total borrowings by more than $1 billion.
Our net income for 1993 was $555 million, or $.81 per share, compared with
a loss for 1992 of $3,927 million, or $5.85 per share. Excluding nonrecurring
items from both years and one-time charges in 1992 for adoption of new
accounting standards, 1993 earnings were $1,677 million, or $2.46 per share,
compared to $1,341 million, or $1.98 per share, earned last year. Total sales
for 1993 were $37.1 billion, down 2 percent versus 1992.
We benefited significantly from a strong performance by Petroleum
operations. Excluding one-time items, Conoco earnings increased more than 70
percent in spite of low crude oil prices. We also saw gains in the Diversified
Businesses segment where earnings increased 146 percent excluding nonrecurring
items and coal results, which were adversely affected by a strike. This reflects
strong results from crop protection chemicals and cost improvements in printing
and publishing.
Clearly, the cash management and productivity improvement strategies we
implemented during the last few years are paying off. We still have a
considerable way to go, however, in accomplishing the total company
transformation that I discussed in last year's annual report. But in 1993 we
made substantial progress in every key area of transformation emphasis. Consider
some highlights:
In our continuing effort to globalize our strongest businesses, we
completed the purchase of ICI's nylon operations, which now gives us a
leadership position in Europe. We formed an alliance with Asahi to enhance our
nylon opportunities in Asia. Conoco is involved in an ambitious petroleum
development venture in Russia, the Polar Lights project. DuPont and Kirovo-
Chepetsk Chemical Enterprise in Russia formed a joint venture to market
fluoropolymer products worldwide. We formed a joint venture to manufacture
electronic materials for microcircuits to help accelerate growth in China's
electronics industry. A new plant, expected to be the most advanced
manufacturing facility of its kind in China, will start up in the third quarter
of 1995.
Last year also saw a marked improvement in productivity as we achieved a
6 percent gain. Cost reduction programs we have been pursuing since 1991 have
yielded good results with regard to fixed
2
costs and spending rates. Currently our European operations are engaged in a
$500 million cost reduction program, which will be completed by the end of 1994.
Regarding business focus, we divested a number of businesses including
connectors, acrylics and Remington Arms. These divestitures follow others of
recent years and represent our decision to focus intently on businesses where
we have clear competitive advantage and technological strength. Conoco
completed a number of transactions to strengthen our petroleum portfolio, most
significantly the trade of our Milne Point field in Alaska and some
exploration acreage for an interest in a British Petroleum-operated producing
field in the Gulf of Mexico.
One superb advantage we have for improving both productivity and business
focus is DuPont research. Much of our R&D is aimed at improving the quality,
speed and efficiency of manufacturing processes vital to our competitiveness.
Another substantial portion of our research dollar goes to improving our
product offerings in existing markets. We are also maintaining our commitment
to discovery research, which is essential to our future. DuPont's success in
the 20th century has been made possible by innovative science. Leadership in
science and technology will continue to be an indispensable element of our
business strategy.
4
In terms of our environmental commitment, we continued to make outstanding
progress. In the United States, preliminary estimates indicate we have reduced
emissions of air toxics by 60 percent and airborne carcinogens by 70 percent
compared to 1987 base year figures. We met U.S. EPA's voluntary 33/50 interim
goal with a 33 percent reduction of 17 large volume toxic materials. Of 740
million pounds of packaging materials shipped to customers, 230 million pounds
or 30 percent were returned for reuse or recycling. Conoco placed two more
double-hulled tankers into service; double-hulled vessels now make up half our
fleet. More than 120 double-walled underground storage tanks have been
installed at Conoco-owned service stations. A detailed discussion of our
environmental performance is available in our 1993 Environmental Progress
Report.
As indicated earlier, last year was a particularly challenging time for our
people. Cost reductions have resulted in the elimination of more than 20,000
jobs since 1991. It has been painful to see dedicated and talented people depart
the company, even though we all are aware that the economic realities we face
leave no other choice. While more consolidations are likely to occur, we believe
that most of the across-the-board "downsizing" is accomplished. Throughout the
company I am increasingly encountering examples of individual initiative and
team spirit that a leaner organization encourages and makes possible.
As our employees grow accustomed to the pace of change that will be a
permanent fact of life in 21st century business, we are holding fast to our
core value of treating every individual with respect and dignity. In an era of
stiff global competition, an employer is responsible for creating a workplace
in which people can grow and maintain their employability in the face of the
change and dislocation that will characterize all global companies in the
years ahead. Security comes only from providing superior value to customers.
We encourage our people to be resourceful, to seize present opportunities and
to create new ones. This is the formula for a successful future for the
company and for ourselves.
A significant action taken in 1993 involved restructuring the company to
eliminate the large sectors or departments into which we had historically
grouped our businesses. The company now is organized into business units which
are smaller, more flexible and less encumbered by the bureaucracy and costs
that the sector staff and structure represented. The streamlined operational
structure of the company is represented by the businesses listed on the chart
on the inside front cover of this report. The new structure permits each
business and every employee to focus on the customer and be more responsive to
customer needs. The feedback we've received from customers has been very
encouraging.
Also in 1993, the first trials in the litigation involving our "Benlate" DF
50 fungicide were held; others are ongoing. To date, more than 60 cases have
been disposed of by settlement, summary judgment in our favor or dismissal. Jury
verdicts have been returned against the company, but for an average of less than
a third of the compensatory damages claimed by the plaintiffs. We are appealing
those. We also recently had one jury verdict for the company. Based on our
science, we are convinced that our product did not cause any damage and that it
is safe when applied at label rates.
Overall, 1993 was a time in which our transformation process shifted into a
higher gear. Our performance in the face of hostile economic conditions in major
markets underscored that the company is financially strong; we expect these
economic conditions to continue. However, we are positioned to show improvement
even if current conditions remain unchanged, and we have strong upside potential
when growth accelerates in the U.S. or the economies of Europe and Japan begin
to recover.
5
What's ahead for 1994? We are in a period of rapid change and uncertainty.
We face many smaller, flexible rapid-response companies around the world. In
such an environment our focus has to be on the customer.
In these circumstances we state our objectives in terms of performance. Our
overall goal is focused, profitable growth achieved through a combination of
healthy businesses and committed, enthusiastic employees. We seek to provide our
shareholders with an average 15 percent total annual return while posting a 20
percent return on equity and a 10 percent annual growth in earnings through a
business cycle. Each of our businesses has clear financial and growth objectives
to support these corporate objectives.
We're also devoting careful attention to portfolio management. We have
determined certain business characteristics that are fundamental to our
strategy. DuPont's businesses in the next century will be science-based where
we have a clear technological advantage; in which the size and scope of the
business and its ability to grow are meaningful to a company as large as
DuPont; and in which we know we can be competitive and win on a global basis.
It goes without saying that our businesses will also be able to achieve the
high levels of safety and environmental performance, and maintain the other
values that we have traditionally set for ourselves here at DuPont.
Our experiences during the past two years are reminders that focusing on
fundamentals works. In particular, focusing on the customer always works. But
we can't be successful unless our people are also committed and enthusiastic.
Our businesses know the importance of building winning teams. Only people can
make sure that DuPont offers the lowest cost, the best product, the fastest
and most efficient service -- all hallmarks of a successful global competitor.
I have never seen a more dynamic period for world business than in the
past two years. It has not been an easy time, and it has sometimes been a
painful time. But there is no question that the actions we are taking are
beginning to pay large dividends which will become more apparent in the
months ahead.
We communicated this last dynamism last year in our annual report, which
generated some controversy as we graphically signaled the bold step change
necessary for future success. In this year's annual report, we are featuring
a series of attributes that describe both healthy businesses and committed,
enthusiastic employees. Our people tell this story in their own words and
through their own accomplishments. This report once again reflects the
exciting environment of a company that has embraced change and is determined
to win.

Business Review

chemicals
---------
. Chemicals manufactures a wide range of commodity and specialty products,
including titanium dioxide, fluorochemicals and polymer intermediates,
used in the paper, plastics, chemical processing, refrigeration, textile
and environmental management industries. Under an initiative begun last
year, these businesses are grouped into strategic business units (see
chart inside front cover*).
===================================

-----------------------------------
Despite difficult economic conditions, Chemicals pressed forward with its
strategy to increase DuPont's global presence in key businesses such as
titanium dioxide and nylon intermediates, and pursue growth opportunities in
fluorochemicals and specialty intermediates.
As part of this strategy, construction was largely completed during the
year on the "Ti-Pure" titanium dioxide facility in Kuan Yin, Taiwan; some
commercial production began in January 1994 and full start-up is scheduled for
May. DuPont is the world's largest producer of titanium dioxide, a white
pigment used in paper, paint and plastics.
In nylon intermediates, construction of a world-scale adipic acid
plant in Singapore increases our presence in Asia Pacific. Some production is
scheduled to start at the new Singapore plant later this year and full start-
up is planned for 1995. There is growing demand in Asia Pacific for adipic
acid, a key building block for nylon and polyurethanes. The addition of a
nylon intermediates plant as a result of the acquisition of ICI's nylon
business enhances our position in Europe.
Among other major developments during the year, we started up the world's
largest hydrofluorocarbon-134a plant at Corpus Christi, Texas, bringing our
total capacity of this chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) substitute to more than 110
million pounds a year, including production in Ponca City, Oklahoma, and
Chiba, Japan. We are an industry leader in CFC alternatives, with a full line
of refrigerant products marketed under the "Suva" trademark. These products
have zero or significantly reduced ozone depletion potential.
Also during the year, Chemicals continued with business restructuring and
other cost-reduction initiatives. The results of these efforts began to show
up toward the end of the year, with an improvement in fourth-quarter
performance.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales were down 2 percent, primarily from lower U.S. volume. Additional sales
volume from acquisitions outside the United States was offset by lower prices,
largely due to the currency effects of a stronger dollar.
After-tax operating income (ATOI) was 27 percent lower than the prior
year, resulting from higher nonrecurring charges for facility shutdowns,
employee separation and other business restructuring. Excluding these charges
from both years, ATOI was $282 million, up 2 percent from $277 million in
1992. This reflects improvements in specialty chemicals, intermediates and
fluorochemicals. These improvements were principally from lower costs, partly
offset by lower earnings from white pigment, which experienced declining
prices for most of the year despite increases in volume.
*This chart is not incorporated by reference in this Report.
20
1992 VERSUS 1991
Sales were up 4 percent, with higher sales volume outside the United States
partly offset by lower prices. ATOI declined 28 percent. Excluding a 1992
charge of $49 million from accounting changes, and nonrecurring items from
both years, earnings were up 9 percent reflecting improvements in nylon
intermediates and a number of other basic and specialty chemicals businesses.
OUTLOOK
Cost reduction and other steps taken to enhance efficiency have put Chemicals
in position for improved financial performance, especially in the event of
renewed vigor in major world economies. In particular, the market for DuPont
white pigment is improving as demand increases for high-quality titanium
dioxide produced by our proprietary technology. However, while we have
significantly reduced our production of CFCs, we continue to be disappointed
by the market's slower than anticipated transition away from CFCs to the more
environmentally acceptable alternatives.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fibers
-------------
. A diversified mix of specialty fibers is produced to serve end uses
ranging from high-strength composites in aerospace to protective apparel,
active sportswear and packaging. High-volume fibers are produced for
apparel and home fabrics, carpeting and industrial applications, and sold
directly to the textile and other industries for processing into products
used in consumer and industrial markets. Under an initiative begun last
year, these businesses are grouped into strategic business units (see
chart inside front cover*).
Fibers continued to pursue three long-term strategies: grow through improved
quality, service, cost, innovation, and strategic acquisition; penetrate new
high-growth worldwide markets; and develop and promote new high-technology
fiber and resin products to replace traditional materials such as metals.
The global nylon business -- including the newly acquired nylon business
of ICI-- was restructured to meet customer needs with fewer people, improved
productivity and less capital investment. We are aiming for global revenue
growth. "Lycra" spandex intensified its development of new products and end-
use markets globally. It also invested in processes and systems to further
enhance quality. The newest "Lycra" plant in Singapore became a world-class
performer after only six months of operation. Two new, fully automated, modern
polyester filament production lines -- the cornerstone of the "Dacron"
modernization program -- will be operating at the Kinston, North Carolina,
plant by the end of 1994, adding approximately 100 million pounds of capacity.
In flooring systems, we continued with business restructuring aimed at
becoming the low-cost producer. Fixed costs were significantly reduced while
markets strengthened -- particularly the U.S. commercial carpet business. Three
new consumer brands were launched -- "DuPont Approved Stainmaster Plus",
"DuPont Approved Masterlife", and "DuPont Approved Grand Luxura". A national
network of 3,000 top carpet retailers -- known as "DuPont Approved
MasterStores" -- was created; the network includes only retailers who offer the
full line of DuPont-branded products.

Industrial nylon's lower volumes were partially offset by increased sales
of specialty products such as yarns for airbags -- a rapidly expanding market
for which nylon 6,6 has become the fiber of choice.
In nonwovens, DuPont built on its world leadership in the rapidly
growing, high-technology segment of this multi-billion dollar market. The
nonwovens businesses -- "Sontara" spunlaced fabric, "Tyvek" spunbonded olefins
and "Typar" spunbonded polypropylene -- are organized to work across product
lines and geographic regions to solve market needs in medical, apparel,
construction, packaging, reinforcement and absorbents. "Typar" grew in Europe
and the United States as the leading nonwoven for broadloom carpet backing.
Strong growth in Europe came from our new, reinforced "Tyvek", which is used
for breathable roofliners; these simplify construction techniques. "Sontara"
maintained a strong position in the worldwide health care industry as the
preferred material for surgical gowns and drapes. It continues to grow in
diverse consumer applications including window shades, specialty wipes, man-
made leather and adult incontinence products.
The "Nomex" flame-resistant and "Kevlar" high-strength aramid fibers
businesses focused on enhancing quality, customer service, productivity and
cycle time. Construction was completed on a "Kevlar" pulp plant at Richmond,
Virginia, and a "Nomex" fiber plant at Asturias, Spain. Four new products were
introduced for enhanced worker protection. "Kevlar LT" is a new fiber for the
lightest and thinnest bullet-resistant vests available. "Nomex 111A" provides
protection against static electricity as well as flame and thermal shock, for
flight suits and in apparel for the oil, chemical and munitions industries.
"Kevlar Kleen" is a low-linting fiber for cut-resistant gloves for food
handling and use in clean rooms, while "Kevlar Plus" gives higher protection
in gloves used in metal stamping operations. Composites gained in three vital
areas: growth, cost position and market partnerships. DuPont is emerging as
the number one U.S. supplier of advanced materials and is partnering with
leading companies in Europe and Asia.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales were 2 percent above the prior year, principally due to the sales added
from the acquisition of ICI's nylon business. Worldwide sales volume was up 5
percent, while prices declined, largely due to the exchange effects of a
stronger dollar. Sales were about even with last year in all regions except in
Asia, where sales were up 9 percent, mainly reflecting business expansion in
the region. Absent additional sales from the ICI acquisition, European sales
were down 16 percent, with about two-thirds of the decline due to price
effects of the stronger dollar.
After-tax operating income (ATOI) was down $240 million from 1992,
principally due to higher restructuring charges. Excluding nonrecurring items
from both years, earnings were $425 million, down 11 percent from $478 million
in 1992. This reflects lower results for "Lycra", "Dacron", and nylon,
particularly in Europe.
1992 VERSUS 1991
Sales were up less than 1 percent, as slightly higher prices were nearly
offset by lower volume. ATOI was down 2 percent from 1991. Excluding
nonrecurring items from both years and a 1992 charge of $104 million for
accounting changes, earnings were up 4 percent, principally reflecting
improved results for the textile and flooring systems businesses.
22
OUTLOOK
Major restructuring initiatives have been undertaken to reduce costs and
enhance efficiency. Further economic improvement in the United States and
recovery in Europe and Japan would increase and accelerate the benefits of the
restructuring programs. Development of new products and new applications for
existing products provides opportunities for growth in selected markets.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
polymers
------------
. Engineering polymers, elastomers, fluoropolymers, ethylene polymers,
finishes and performance films are produced to serve industries
including packaging, construction, chemical processing, electrical,
paper, textiles and transportation. This group also includes the
automotive businesses, which are engaged in manufacturing and marketing
more than 100 DuPont product lines used by the automotive industry.
Under an initiative begun last year, these businesses are grouped into
strategic business units (see chart inside front cover*).
Polymers is on track with a strategy that is focused on core strengths in
engineering polymers, ethylene polymers, fluoropolymers and finishes, to
enhance our position in the automotive, packaging, construction and electrical
markets.
Developments during the year included the acquisition of ICI's nylon
resins business and the announcement of a new nylon polymer facility as
further steps toward growing our global nylon resins business. The ICI move
will broaden our base in Europe. The polymer facility, located on Pulau Sakra,
off Singapore, is needed to meet growing customer demand for DuPont "Zytel"
nylon resin throughout the Asia Pacific region. Start-up is scheduled for
1995. "Zytel" is used in a wide range of applications, including automotive
and electrical components. We also purchased Ciba-Geigy's PBT (polybutylene
terephthalate) polyester business in Germany, which strengthens our global
position in polyester resins and electrical markets. Except for "Corian" solid
surface material, used in applications such as sinks and countertops, we sold
our acrylics business to ICI as part of our strategy of focusing resources on
those businesses in which we have unique strengths and the opportunity for
global growth. A combination of cost-reduction programs and improving market
conditions, primarily in the United States, brought gains late in the year.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales were up less than 1 percent as increased sales in the United States were
essentially offset by lower sales in other regions. A worldwide 5 percent
volume increase was offset by lower prices resulting principally from the
currency exchange effects of a stronger dollar.

polymers cont.
---------
After-tax operating income (ATOI) was down 44 percent from 1992 reflecting
higher restructuring costs in 1993, including a $64 million charge for
shutdown of a portion of the plant in LaPorte, Texas. Excluding nonrecurring
items from both periods, ATOI was $340 million, even with last year. This
reflects increased earnings from the United States and Asia Pacific, offset by
lower earnings in Europe and Canada. The earnings gain in the United States
resulted primarily from improvement in businesses supplying the automotive
original equipment and after-markets, and electrical markets.
1992 VERSUS 1991
Sales were up 5 percent reflecting a 7 percent increase in volume partly
offset by 2 percent lower selling prices. ATOI increased about $200 million.
Excluding a 1992 charge of $75 million for accounting changes and nonrecurring
items from both years, earnings were up 67 percent. The earnings gain reflects
better results for automotive finishes and higher sales volume for engineering
polymers.
OUTLOOK
Polymers is well positioned for global growth in selected markets. Cost-
reduction initiatives and strategic alignments already undertaken further
enhance our prospects for profitable growth in the event of global economic
resurgence. Late-year results for packaging and industrial polymers,
automotive and engineering polymers, helped by improving market conditions in
the United States, indicate the potential benefits from a more widespread
economic recovery.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
petroleum
----------
. Petroleum operations are carried out through Conoco, and range
from exploring for crude oil and natural gas to marketing finished
products. The upstream business finds, develops and produces crude
oil and natural gas and processes natural gas to capture liquid
hydrocarbons, such as ethane and propane, that are sold separately at
higher value. The downstream business refines crude oil and other
feedstocks into products such as gasoline and heating oil, and
markets finished products to customers, primarily in the United
States and Europe. Downstream also produces intermediates used as
petrochemical feedstocks and specialty products such as petroleum
coke and lubricating oils used in commercial and industrial
applications.

Conoco's strategies are to grow core upstream producing areas in North America
and the North Sea and core downstream operations in the United States and
Western Europe; create new core businesses in selected areas of high value and
growth potential; and continuously rationalize the asset base, optimizing
the portfolio and reducing costs.
In upstream, these strategies have significantly affected the portfolio
in the past two years. In 1991, we had 476 producing fields in North America.
Today, we have 60 percent fewer fields, but we have retained essentially all
of the original production volume. The largest portfolio transaction in 1993
was the trade of Conoco's Milne Point Field in Alaska and some deepwater Gulf
of Mexico acreage for an interest in British Petroleum's Amberjack Field in
the Gulf of Mexico.
We also increased our equity interest in Dubai, the Kotter and Logger
fields in the Netherlands, and the Britannia Field in the United Kingdom,
while disposing of interests in Australia and France. All these steps were
taken to improve our portfolio of assets for healthier businesses and improved
profitability.
In exploration, we made seven promising discoveries and drilled 32
successful reservoir evaluation wells. Our two most significant discoveries
were in the United States. Excluding the impact of purchases and sales of
reserves in place, we replaced more than 100 percent of our production last
year, in part reflecting the addition of reserves for the Britannia Field in
the U.K. North Sea. Overall, including the effect of purchases and sales to
restructure our portfolio, and including reserves of equity affiliates,
worldwide oil and gas reserves increased slightly last year, while our cost
structure improved significantly.
Production has begun from three new fields in the U.K. North Sea core
area -- Lyell, Murdoch and Alba. Lyell and Murdoch are good examples of how new
technology and partnering are being applied to reduce development costs.
Design work continues on the development of the Britannia Field in the North
Sea, and the Heidrun project in Norway is on schedule to produce first oil in
1995.
In Indonesia, the Belida project is ahead of schedule, under budget and
producing oil at a considerably higher rate than anticipated. Significant
progress is being made in Russia on the Ardalin Field development. In
addition, Conoco and our Russian partner, Arkhangelskgeologia, have recently
signed an agreement for the evaluation of a new oil development project north
of Ardalin.
We continue to have high hopes that Nigeria can become a new core area. We
were awarded a deepwater block during the year, and recently completed a
seismic survey over the area.
In the United States, we continue to pursue strategic growth in natural gas
processing, a very profitable business. Natural gas liquids production
increased by 13 percent over 1992.
Our U.S. downstream network is seeing good results from consolidation into
three regional units -- Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast. The Rocky
Mountain unit in particular posted improved results, reflecting success in
reducing costs and capturing market opportunities.
During 1994, the major challenge for the Gulf Coast regional business
unit is to prepare for the changing market conditions that will result from
the transition to cleaner, reformulated gasoline next January, under federal
clean air legislation. The Lake Charles refinery can manufacture reformulated
gasoline with lower new capital investment than the industry as a whole.
In European downstream, our German affiliate had its best-ever earnings
year, reflecting higher earnings from the Karlsruhe refinery, a major
acquisition of retail stations, and continued expansion in eastern Germany. We
are making substantial progress in expanding our marketing network elsewhere
in Europe and began retail marketing in Norway and Finland. In Eastern Europe,
our strategy couples

refining and marketing opportunities, and we are moving forward with several
refinery purchase options in countries where we have already begun retail
marketing.
In Southeast Asia, we are trying to penetrate a market of high growth and
good margins. We are evaluating participation in a joint venture for
construction of a 100,000-barrel-per-day high-conversion refinery at
Petronas's new world-class facility in Melaka, Malaysia. The project would
give Conoco a 40 percent interest in the refinery's expanded section. This,
along with our new marketing network in Thailand, would establish a beachhead
that could lead to an integrated system like our system in Europe.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales were down 2 percent on lower crude oil prices despite higher volumes.
Earnings of $812 million were up 141 percent largely on lower costs, higher
production volumes and a lower overall effective tax rate. Overhead and
operating expenses were reduced approximately $400 million, or 12 percent,
adding more than $200 million to earnings. 1993 earnings included a net
benefit of $230 million due to tax law changes partly offset by property
dispositions and restructuring charges of $161 million. 1992 results included
restructuring charges of $96 million. Excluding these items, earnings were up
72 percent to $743 million compared with $433 million in the prior year.
Upstream earnings were $509 million, up $310 million or 156 percent from
1992. After adjusting for nonrecurring items, earnings for the year were up
$194 million or 79 percent on lower costs, higher international crude oil and
worldwide natural gas volumes, and higher U.S. natural gas prices. Lower crude
oil prices and higher production-related depreciation partly offset the
improvement.
Worldwide petroleum liquids production from Conoco's leases averaged
367,000 barrels per day, up 10 percent from 1992. The average realized selling
price for crude oil was $14.66 per barrel in the United States and $16.50 per
barrel outside the United States, down 16 percent and 11 percent,
respectively. Worldwide natural gas deliveries for consolidated and equity
affiliate operations of 1,311 million cubic feet per day were up 11 percent.
The average price for natural gas in the United States was $1.94 per thousand
cubic feet, up 14 percent. Outside the United States, the average natural gas
price was up 3 percent to $2.62 per thousand cubic feet.
Downstream earnings were $303 million, up 120 percent from $138 million in
1992. After adjusting for nonrecurring items, full-year earnings of $302
million were up $116 million or 62 percent reflecting lower costs and higher
refined product margins. Feedstocks processed at the company's refineries
increased 2 percent in 1993 to 674,000 barrels per day. Worldwide product
sales of 876,000 barrels per day were up 4 percent from the prior year.
1992 VERSUS 1991
Sales were up slightly from 1991, while earnings were down 59 percent on lower
worldwide crude oil prices and refined product margins. 1992 operating income
included charges of $96 million for restructuring and $47 million for
accounting changes, while 1991 included a charge of $40 million for
nonrecurring items. Excluding accounting changes and other nonrecurring items,
earnings of $480 million were down 44 percent.
OUTLOOK
With energy market conditions likely to remain soft for the near term, the
focus for ongoing improvement in financial performance will continue to be on
managing costs and restructuring assets, and identifying investment
opportunities consistent with this market outlook.

diversified businesses

. Diversified Businesses are characterized by broad opportunities
for future growth and the promise of increased profitability, with
the shared advantage of DuPont research and development. Under an
initiative begun last year, these businesses are grouped into
strategic business units (see chart inside front cover*).
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Agricultural Products had an excellent sales year, despite a depressed
European agricultural market and floods in the U.S. Midwest. We strengthened
our position as one of the world's largest producers of crop protection
chemicals, with continued growth in the United States, Canada, Australia,
Japan and parts of Europe and South America. During the year, we introduced
our "Synchrony STS" system in the U.S Midwest; this system links the new
postemergence sulfonylurea herbicide "Synchrony" with specific varieties of a
soybean seed to maximize weed control. We also introduced a new sugarbeet
herbicide in Europe, continuing our strategy of introducing high-value new
products for specific applications.
ELECTRONIC MATERIALS
Electronics' performance improved as a result of earlier business realignments
and initiatives to reduce cost. Divestiture of the electronic connectors
business was completed in the first quarter of 1993. Microcircuit and
semiconductor materials recorded increases in sales and market share, which
were offset by declines in sales of cleaning agents based on
chlorofluorocarbons. The newly acquired Philips photomask operation in Germany
is running smoothly, consolidating our position as a leading supplier of
photomasks to semiconductor manufacturers in the Americas and Europe. A new
joint venture in China for microcircuit materials increases our opportunities
in this rapidly growing market.
PRINTING AND PUBLISHING
The printing and publishing businesses continued to improve through
restructuring and reductions in fixed costs. A graphic arts film coater in Neu
Isenberg, Germany, was started up and all worldwide coating operations will be
consolidated at that facility in 1994. Products introduced included new
Crosfield workstations for electronic imaging, the DuPont "HyperColor" system
for high-fidelity color, and the DuPont "Digital Proofing System".
MEDICAL PRODUCTS
Medical Products focused on programs to maximize sales in a soft worldwide
health care market, while continuing to reduce costs. We expanded our share
among hospital groups with the signing of a single-source, multi-year contract
with Columbia/HCA Health Care Corporation.

Product introductions included the new "LINX" laser printer for diagnostic
imaging, new tests for the "aca" and "Dimension" blood chemistry analyzers,
new centrifuges and a variety of detection products for life science research.
The DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company, of which DuPont owns 50 percent, had
another year of significant sales and earnings growth with revenue exceeding
$1 billion for the first time.
CONSOL
CONSOL Energy Inc., a coal operations joint venture owned 50 percent by
DuPont, experienced strikes against its unionized operations for much of 1993.
However, a new five-year contract was negotiated with the United Mine Workers
of America in December that gave the company additional operating flexibility
at union-represented mines. In July, CONSOL acquired Island Creek Coal Inc.,
including eight mining complexes with expected production of 10 to 12 million
tons per year.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales decreased 7 percent due to lower volume reflecting the absence of sales
from the divested connector systems business. Selling prices were 2 percent
lower, as higher prices in the United States were more than offset by lower
prices elsewhere, reflecting the stronger dollar.
The segment had a loss of $407 million in 1993 as compared to a loss of
$49 million the prior year. This results from increased net nonrecurring
charges, principally higher restructuring costs, partly offset by a gain on
the sale of Remington Arms Company. Restructuring included $448 million for
asset write-downs, primarily after-tax charges for restructuring plant
operations and write-offs of intangibles in printing and publishing. In
addition, a $126 million charge was taken for product liability claims and
legal expenses, related to the "Benlate" DF 50 fungicide recall. Excluding
nonrecurring items and coal results from both years, earnings were up 146
percent. The increase is attributable to increased earnings from crop
protection chemicals and films, and substantially lower costs in printing and
publishing.
1992 VERSUS 1991
Sales decreased 20 percent reflecting the absence of coal business revenues in
1992 which became part of a joint venture accounted for under the equity
method. Earnings declined from $107 million in 1991 to a loss of $49 million
in 1992. Excluding a $65 million 1992 charge for accounting changes and
nonrecurring items, earnings were $241 million, up 22 percent, principally
reflecting cost reductions in printing and publishing and higher medical
products earnings.
OUTLOOK
Diversified Businesses serves a wide range of industries, with various
opportunities and challenges. One example is health care reform in the United
States. We are considering the challenges and opportunities this may present.
Steps have been taken to improve the profitability of the businesses in this
group, through restructuring, realignment and cost reduction.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
Events of Note
. In the first quarter the company sold its worldwide connector systems
business to Hicks, Muse and Company, as part of its strategy for divestiture
of non-core businesses. Proceeds were about $270 million, with negligible
impact on earnings.
. At mid-year, DuPont and Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. (ICI) completed
transactions in which DuPont acquired for about $475 million ICI's worldwide
fibers business and ICI acquired for $280 million DuPont's acrylics business,
excluding "Corian". The purchase strengthens the company's nylon market
position, particularly in Europe, where most of ICI's business was based. The
acrylics sale had minimal earnings impact.
. In the third quarter, the company announced additional restructurings and
recorded after-tax charges of $1.3 billion, principally for asset write-offs,
the most significant of which were for goodwill, technology and
rationalization of excess capacity in the printing and publishing businesses.
. In the fourth quarter, the company completed sales of the Remington Arms
Company and DuPont Canada's "Sclair" polyethylene business. A net after-tax
gain of $52 million was recorded. Proceeds of $300 million from the Remington
sale were used primarily to retire debt.
. Also in the fourth quarter, the company took an additional $126 million
after-tax charge in connection with the "Benlate" DF 50 fungicide recall. This
additional accrual for "Benlate" DF 50 updates the estimate of costs based on
recent experience of court trials, review of case histories and rate of
spending on litigation. Adverse changes in estimates for these costs could
result in additional future charges.
Restructuring
During 1993, the company announced a number of steps for strategic
restructuring, primarily for improving competitiveness in global markets, but
also to streamline internal organizations and eliminate large business sectors
in favor of smaller, strategic business units. Restructuring charges of $1,295
million, after taxes, were taken in the third quarter. These include $375
million for employee separation costs related to the elimination of about
9,000 positions worldwide. Other charges were for write-offs, principally of
goodwill and technology arising from printing and publishing acquisitions in
the late 1980's, various facilities shutdowns and asset write-downs. The
latter included write-downs for certain North American petroleum-producing
properties sold in the fourth quarter, polymer production lines in LaPorte,
Texas, nylon textile production lines in Martinsville, Virginia, and polyester
filament production lines in Cooper River, South Carolina. It is estimated
that 1994 earnings will reflect more than $300 million of after-tax cost
savings related to this restructuring.
Sales
Sales in 1993 were $37.1 billion, down 2 percent from 1992. Sales in the
Petroleum segment and the combination of all other segments were both about 2
percent below 1992. Lower sales were principally due to lower prices, partly
offset by higher volumes. The sales decline for the combined Chemicals,
Fibers, Polymers, and Diversified Businesses segments reflects 4 percent lower
sales outside of the United States, largely due to adverse exchange effects
from a stronger dollar, partly offset by higher volume. After adjusting for
the divestiture of the connector systems business, U.S. sales were up 1
percent, reflecting slightly higher volume and prices. Fibers had increased
sales resulting from the acquisition of ICI's nylon business, and Polymers had
increased sales to the U.S. automotive industry.
Sales in 1992 were $37.8 billion, 2 percent below 1991, principally
reflecting the absence of sales from the coal business, which has been
accounted for under the equity method since the beginning of 1992. After
adjusting for the coal business, sales were up 2 percent, principally
reflecting higher volumes worldwide. Currency exchange rates had no
significant effect on the change in sales.
30 DUPONT
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Earnings
Net income in 1993 was $555 million or $.81 per share, compared with a loss in
1992 of $3,927 million, or $(5.85) per share. Results in 1993 include higher
restructuring charges, partly offset by reductions in cost of goods sold;
selling, general and administrative expenses; interest; and other expenses.
1993 results also reflect a lower effective tax rate in Petroleum operations
and a net benefit of $265 million resulting from tax law changes, primarily in
the United Kingdom. Excluding the 1993 tax benefit, nonrecurring and
extraordinary items from both years, and one-time charges in 1992 for adoption
of new accounting standards, 1993 earnings were $1,677 million, or $2.46 per
share, 25 percent higher than the $1,341 million, or $1.98 per share, earned
in 1992. This improvement reflects higher Petroleum segment earnings,
resulting principally from lower costs and increased production outside of the
United States. Excluding the coal business that was adversely affected by
United Mine Workers strikes for most of the year, combined earnings from
segments other than Petroleum also improved, primarily due to cost reductions.
1992 net income* was $975 million, compared to $1,403 million in 1991.
Excluding nonrecurring charges and the after-tax effect of accounting changes
on 1992 earnings, 1992 earnings were $1,698 million, down 2 percent from 1991.
Improvements in the Polymers and Diversified Businesses segments were offset
by lower earnings for Petroleum.

($ in millions)
Income tax expense $ 392 $ 836 $ 1,415
Effective income tax rate (EITR) 40.9% 46.2% 50.2%
==============================================================================
Over the last three years, the company's EITR exceeded the U.S. statutory
rate of 35% in 1993, and 34% in 1992 and 1991, principally because of the
higher tax rates associated with petroleum production operations outside the
United States. The 1993 EITR decreased about 5 percentage points from the
prior year, principally reflecting a lower effective tax rate in Petroleum
operations and the $265 million tax benefit described above, partly offset by
an increased proportion of higher-taxed Petroleum earnings. The decrease in
the 1992 EITR, versus 1991, reflected a lower proportion of higher-taxed
Petroleum earnings due to a reduced level of earnings in that segment, partly
offset by an increase in the EITR from adoption of SFAS No. 109.
The company paid total taxes of $6.4 billion in 1993, compared to $6.6
billion in 1992 and $6.4 billion in 1991. 1993 total tax payments were lower
than 1992 reflecting lower taxes on income. Tax payments in 1992 were more
than 1991, reflecting higher import duties and energy taxes outside the United
States, partly offset by lower income tax payments.
CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the past three years, cash provided by operations was the primary
source of funding for the company's capital investment programs and dividends.
Cash provided by operations in 1993 totaled $5.4 billion, $1.0 billion
higher than 1992. This principally reflects higher net income, excluding
restructuring charges, and lower working capital. The 1993 third-quarter
restructuring charge of $1.3 billion after taxes had minimal impact on cash
provided by operations in 1993. Cash provided by operations in 1992 totaled
$4.4 billion, down $1.1 billion from 1991, principally reflecting lower net
income and a smaller benefit from working capital reductions.
Capital expenditures of $3.7 billion in 1993, including expenditures for
investments in affiliates, were $800 million, or 18 percent, below last year.
Capital expenditures in 1992 were 14 percent lower than the 1991 level. The
Petroleum segment accounted for 45 percent of total capital expenditures in
1993, up from 40 percent of the total in 1992, reflecting a proportionately
higher curtailment of expenditures in segments other than Petroleum. The most
significant Petroleum expenditures were for development of the Heidrun Field
in Norway, the Murdoch and Alba North fields in the United Kingdom and the
Belida field in Indonesia. For other segments, capital spending in 1993
continued to concentrate on strengthening and growing strategic businesses
outside of the United States. This includes projects for "Adi-Pure" adipic
acid and "Lycra" spandex in Singapore, "Ti-Pure" titanium dioxide in Taiwan,
and "Nomex" aramid fibers and THF/"Terathane" polyether glycols in Spain. In
the United States, significant expenditures were also made for
commercialization of CFC alternatives and for modernization of "Dacron"
polyester facilities. Improvement projects mainly concentrated on enhancing
the efficiency and yields of existing refineries, including desulfurization of
gasoline and diesel fuels, upgrading petroleum retail marketing networks, and
X-ray film manufacturing.
Capital expenditures for 1994 are estimated at $3.4 billion.

Proceeds from sales of assets were about $1.2 billion in 1993, versus
about $180 million in 1992 and $1.4 billion in 1991. 1993 proceeds primarily
reflected the sales of connector systems, acrylics, the Remington Arms Company
and petroleum properties. 1991 included $570 million for the sale of an
interest in the coal business.
Dividends per share of common stock in 1993 were $1.76, compared with
$1.74 in 1992 and $1.68 in 1991. The regular quarterly dividend remained at
$.44 per share. Dividends were last increased in the second quarter of 1992
from $.42 per share. The common stock dividend payout, in relation to cash
provided by operations, was 22 percent, as compared to a 27 percent payout in
1992 and 21 percent in 1991.
Borrowings at year-end 1993 were $9.3 billion, compared to $10.9 billion
and $8.2 billion in 1992 and 1991, respectively. The $1.6 billion decrease in
borrowings in 1993 reflects improved cash flow and a $434 million decrease in
cash and cash equivalents. The cash flow improvement results from lower costs,
excluding noncash restructuring charges, increased proceeds from sales of non-
strategic businesses and significantly lower capital expenditures. The year-
end 1993 debt ratio* was 45 percent, as compared to 48 percent in 1992,
reflecting the lower level of borrowings, partly offset by a reduction in
stockholders' equity due to lower net income, resulting from restructuring.
Working capital investment (excluding cash and cash equivalents, short-
term borrowings and capital lease obligations) decreased $1.1 billion in 1993,
reflecting lower inventories and accounts receivable, and higher current
liabilities, principally due to the third-quarter restructuring charges. In
1992, working capital investment declined about $600 million, reflecting lower
accounts receivable and higher accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities, including cash and
cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and capital lease obligations, at year-
end 1993 was 1.2:1, as compared to 1.2:1 in 1992 and 1.4:1 in 1991.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Recognizing that some risk to the environment is associated with the company's
operations, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses, the
company is committed to protecting the environment and has a program to reduce
emissions and generation of hazardous waste. The company complies worldwide
with government regulations relating to the protection of the environment.
Expenditures to comply with these increasingly stringent environmental laws
and regulations could be significant over the next ten to twenty years but are
not expected to have a material impact on the company's competitive or
financial position. If new laws and regulations containing more stringent
requirements are enacted, expenditures may be higher than the assessments of
potential environmental costs provided below.
New waste treatment facilities and pollution control and other equipment
are being installed to satisfy legal requirements and to make progress in
achieving the company's waste elimination and prevention goals. About $500
million was spent for capital projects related to environmental requirements
and company goals in 1993. The company currently forecasts expenditures for
environmental-related capital projects totaling about $500 million in 1994.
These amounts may increase in future years. The company anticipates
significant capital expenditures may be required over the next decade for
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities for solid and hazardous waste. In
addition, compliance costs under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments are
expected to be significant. Environmental capital expenditures in 1992 and
1993 included expenditures in the Petroleum segment to meet federal
requirements related to reformulated gasoline/clean fuels. Additional
environmental capital expenditures are anticipated for plant air emission
controls, primarily in the Chemicals and Petroleum segments; however,
considerable uncertainty will remain with regard to estimates of capital
expenditures until regulatory requirements are known.
Estimated pretax environmental expenses charged to current operations,
including the remediation accruals discussed below, totaled about $1 billion
in 1993, as compared to $900 million in 1992 and 1991. These expenses include
operating, maintenance, and depreciation costs for solid waste treatment,
storage and disposal facilities and for air and water pollution control
facilities; costs incurred in conducting environmental research activities;
and other matters. The largest of these expenses results from the operation of
water pollution control facilities (related to compliance with the Clean Water
Act) and the operation of solid waste management facilities, each of which
accounts for about one quarter of the total. More than 80 percent of total
annual expenses relate to the company's Chemicals, Fibers, Polymers, and
Diversified Businesses segments in the United States, primarily the Chemicals
and Polymers segments. Expenses may increase over the next several years as a
result of additional operating expenses associated with expected new pollution
prevention and control equipment.
The company accrues for certain environmental remediation activities
relating to past operations, including those under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred
to as Superfund) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
described below, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and
reasonable estimates can be made. Accrued liabilities are exclusive of claims
against third parties and are not discounted. During 1993, the company accrued
$183 million for environmental remediation activities, compared to $160
million and $130 million in 1992 and 1991, respectively. At December 31, 1993,
the company's balance sheet included an accrued liability of $522 million as
compared to $465 million and $426 million at year-end 1992 and 1991,
respectively. Expenditures for such previously accrued remediation activities
were $126 million in 1993, $121 million in 1992 and $91 million in 1991.
33 Dupont
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The company's assessment of the potential impact of the two principal
remediation statutes, RCRA and CERCLA, follows below. The assessment is
subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving
process of generating estimates of remediation costs. The various stages of
remediation include initial broad-based analysis of a site, on-site
investigation (including soil and ground water analyses), feasibility studies
(comparing and selecting from among various remediation methods and
technologies), approval by applicable authorities, and finally the actual
implementation of the remediation plan. This process is affected by the
ongoing development of new remediation technologies and regulations and occurs
over a relatively long period of time. The company's assessment takes into
account the stage of the process each site is in at the time of assessment,
the degree of uncertainty surrounding estimates for each phase of remediation,
and other factors affecting a specific site.
RCRA, as amended in 1984, provides for extensive regulation of the
treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. Included in these
regulations are bans on the land disposal of certain hazardous wastes and
requirements for correcting contamination from past practices at operating
sites subject to RCRA. The company anticipates significant additional
expenditures may be required over the next two decades. Annual expenditures
for RCRA corrective actions near term are not expected to vary significantly
from the range of such expenditures over the past few years. Longer term,
expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may fluctuate
significantly (perhaps between $50 million and $300 million in any one year),
as a result of: the developing nature of administrative regulations; how the
laws and regulations may be applied to sites; and multiple choices and costs
associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions.
The company is actively pursuing claims against insurers with respect to RCRA
liabilities.
The company from time to time receives notices from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies that the company is a
"potentially responsible party" (PRP) under CERCLA and equivalent state
legislation. These notices assert potential liability for remediation costs of
various waste treatment or disposal sites that are not company-owned and
allegedly contain wastes attributable to the company from past operations. The
company may incur significant costs, which could exceed $150 million in the
aggregate over the next decade with respect to these sites. The company's
share of the remediation cost at these sites in many instances cannot be
accurately predicted due to the large number of PRPs involved; the scarcity of
reliable data pertaining to many of these sites; uncertainty as to how the
laws and regulations may be applied to these sites; and multiple choices and
costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in remediation.
For most sites, the company's potential liability will be significantly less
than the total site remediation costs because the percentage of material
attributable to the company versus that attributable to other PRPs is
relatively low and the other PRPs have the financial strength to meet their
obligations. The company is actively pursuing claims against insurers with
respect to CERCLA liabilities.
Although future remediation expenditures in excess of current reserves
could be significant, the effect on future financial results is not subject to
reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, principally
from evolving requirements and their effects on individual sites, selection of
technology to meet compliance standards and the cost and timing of
expenditures. These expenditures in the aggregate, however, are not expected
to have a material impact on the company's competitive or financial position.

Responsibilities for Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for the consolidated financial statements and the
other financial information contained in this Annual Report. The financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles considered by management to present fairly the company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. The financial statements
include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and
judgments.
The company's system of internal controls is designed to provide
reasonable assurance as to the protection of assets against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for
preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The
company's business ethics policy is the cornerstone of our internal control
system. This policy sets forth management's commitment to conduct business
worldwide with the highest ethical standards. The business ethics policy also
requires that the documents supporting all transactions clearly describe their
true nature and that all transactions be properly reported and classified in
the financial records. The system is monitored by an extensive program of
internal audit, and management believes that the system of internal accounting
controls at December 31, 1993 meets the objectives noted above.
The financial statements have been audited by the company's independent
accountants, Price Waterhouse. The purpose of their audit is to independently
affirm the fairness of management's reporting of financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. To express the opinion set forth in their
report, they study and evaluate the internal accounting controls to the extent
they deem necessary. Their report is shown on page 36. The adequacy of the
company's internal accounting controls and the accounting principles employed
in financial reporting are under the general oversight of the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors. This Committee also has responsibility for
employing the independent accountants, subject to stockholder ratification. No
member of this Committee may be an officer or employee of the company or any
subsidiary or affiliated company. The independent accountants and the internal
auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee, and they meet with the
Committee from time to time, with and without management present, to discuss
accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 37
through 57 of this Annual Report present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and its
subsidiaries at December 31,1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards 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 the
opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
company changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other
than pensions and for income taxes in 1992.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
DuPont observes the generally accepted accounting principles described below.
These, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Changes
In 1992, DuPont adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The company recorded charges to
net income of $3,788 ($5.63 per share) and $1,045 ($1.55 per share),
respectively, as of January 1, 1992 for the effects of transition to these two
new standards. See also Notes 8 and 26.
Basis of Consolidation
The accounts of wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements. Investments in affiliates owned 20 percent
or more and corporate joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.
Investments in noncorporate joint ventures of petroleum operations are
consolidated on a pro rata basis. Other securities and investments are
generally carried at cost.
Inventories
Substantially all inventories are valued at cost as determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method; in the aggregate, such valuations are not in excess of
market. Elements of cost in inventories include raw materials, direct labor and
manufacturing overhead. Stores and supplies are valued at cost or market,
whichever is lower; cost is generally determined by the average cost method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is carried at cost and, except for
petroleum PP&E, is generally classified in depreciable groups and depreciated by
accelerated methods that produce results similar to the sum-of-the-years' digits
method. Depreciation rates range from 4 percent to 12 percent per annum on
direct manufacturing facilities and from 2 percent to 10 percent per annum on
other facilities; in some instances appropriately higher or lower rates are
used. Generally, for PP&E acquired prior to 1991, the gross carrying value of
assets surrendered, retired, sold or otherwise disposed of is charged to
accumulated depreciation and any salvage or other recovery therefrom is credited
to accumulated depreciation. For disposals of PP&E acquired after 1990, the
gross carrying value and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and included in determining gain or loss on such disposals.
Petroleum PP&E, other than that described below, is depreciated on the
straight-line method at various rates calculated to extinguish carrying values
over estimated useful lives. When petroleum PP&E is surrendered, retired, sold
or otherwise disposed of, the assets involved determine if gain or loss is
recognized, or the gross carrying value is charged to accumulated depreciation,
depletion and amortization and any salvage or other recovery therefrom is
credited to accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; replacements and
betterments are capitalized.
Oil and Gas Properties
The company's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the
successful-efforts method. Costs of acquiring unproved properties are
capitalized, and impairment of those properties, which are individually
insignificant, is provided for by amortizing the cost thereof based on past
experience and the estimated holding period. Geological, geophysical and delay
rental costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of exploratory dry holes are
expensed as the wells are determined to be dry. Costs of productive properties,
production and support equipment, and development costs are capitalized and
amortized on a unit-of-production basis.
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets such as purchased patents and trademarks are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill
is amortized over periods up to 40 years on the straight-line method.
Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded in operating expenses when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can
be reasonably estimated. Accrued liabilities are exclusive of claims against
third parties and are not discounted.
In general, costs related to environmental remediation are charged to expense.
Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs increase the value of the
property and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for 1993 and 1992 has been determined under SFAS
No. 109, which requires use of the asset and liability approach to accounting
for income taxes. Under that approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax
consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents
income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred
taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the
financial and tax bases of the company's assets and liabilities and are adjusted
for changes in tax rates and tax laws

when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be
realized.
Prior to 1992, the provision for income taxes was determined under
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 11, which required use of the
deferral method. Under that method, the provision for income taxes was based
on pretax financial income, which differed from taxable income because certain
elements of income and expense were reflected in different periods for
financial accounting and tax purposes. Deferred taxes were provided on these
timing differences using the tax rate in effect when the timing difference
originated, and the effects of reversing timing differences were reflected at
those historical tax rates.
Provision has been made for income taxes on unremitted earnings of
subsidiaries and affiliates, except in cases in which these earnings are deemed
to be permanently invested. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for
in the period earned (the flow-through method).
Foreign Currency Translation
The company has determined that the U.S. dollar is the "functional currency" of
its worldwide operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are
translated into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates, except for
inventories, prepaid expenses and property, plant and equipment, which are
translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance
sheet amounts that are translated at historical exchange rates. The company
enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against the adverse impact of
foreign currency fluctuations on the monetary assets and liabilities of
operations outside the United States. Exchange gains and losses, net of their
related tax effects, are included in income in the period in which they occur.
In addition, the company enters into forward exchange contracts and similar
agreements to effectively convert certain firm foreign currency commitments to
U.S. dollar-denominated transactions. Gains and losses on these specific
commitment hedges are deferred and included in the measurement of the related
foreign currency transactions.
In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the company reports the cash
flows resulting from its hedging activities in the same category as the related
item that is being hedged.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The company enters into interest rate swap agreements to moderate its exposure
to interest rate changes and/or to lower the overall cost of borrowings. The
differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is
recognized in income over the life of the agreements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to 1993
classifications.

3. Fungicide Recall and Claims Provision
During 1991, the company initiated a stop-sale and recall of "Benlate" DF 50
fungicide. The company accrued $200, $212 and $343 in 1993, 1992 and 1991
respectively, for estimated costs in excess of insurance coverage. Adverse
changes in estimates for such costs could result in additional future charges.

$712 in 1991.

6. Investment Activities
Payments for businesses acquired in 1993 include $380 as part of the
third-quarter acquisition of Imperial Chemical Industries P.L.C.'s worldwide
nylon business. In addition to the cash payment, a deferred payment of $93 is
reflected in Other Liabilities. Of the total purchase price, $259 and $170 were
reflected in property, plant and equipment and inventories, respectively.
Proceeds from sales of businesses in 1993 principally include $270 from the
first-quarter sale of the connector systems business, $280 from the
third-quarter sale of the acrylics business, and $300 from the fourth-quarter
sale of Remington Arms. Assets sold in connection with these sales amounted to
$656, of which $336 was property, plant and equipment with the remainder divided
about equally between inventories and other current assets.
On December 31, 1991, DuPont and subsidiaries of RWE AG of Germany
(collectively, Rheinbraun) formed a corporate joint venture owned 50% each. To
form this joint venture, DuPont sold an approximate 34% interest in its coal
business, principally Consolidation Coal Company, to Rheinbraun. Proceeds to
the company were $570. DuPont contributed the remainder of its coal business
interests to the joint venture, and the venture assumed $896 of short- and
long-term borrowings of the coal business. Rheinbraun contributed the interest
purchased from DuPont, other U.S. coal interests and $320 cash, which was used
at December 31, 1991 to pay down venture borrowings. This corporate joint
venture, CONSOL Energy Inc., is accounted for under the equity method.
7. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges are directly related to corporate decisions to reduce
worldwide employment levels and realign worldwide production and support
facilities in order to improve productivity and competitiveness. Charges
include write-offs of intangibles, employee separation costs, costs of shutting
down certain facilities and contract cancellation costs.
Charges of $1,835 were recorded in the third quarter of 1993. Asset
writedowns and facility shutdowns totaled $1,206 million, principally for
rationalization of excess capacity and write-offs of goodwill and technology in
the printing and publishing business and for certain North American petroleum
properties sold in the fourth quarter. Employee separation costs totaled $559,
of which approximately $190 will be paid from the company's pension trust.
Costs for miscellaneous items were $70.
In the fourth quarter of 1992, the company recorded charges of $475 for
termination incentives and payments, as well as certain other charges, related
to business restructurings.
During 1991 the company announced various cost reduction programs, primarily
in the U.S. chemicals and specialties businesses. The cost of these programs
accrued in the fourth quarter 1991 was $828. About $417 of this amount was paid
from the company's pension trust.

8. Provision for Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Information shown below for 1991 was determined under the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 11. On adoption of SFAS No. 109, the company
recorded an increase in deferred tax liabilities at January 1, 1992, and a
charge to income of $1,045, principally to provide deferred taxes for purchase
business combinations consummated prior to 1992 for which it was not practicable
to adjust all remaining assets and liabilities to pretax amounts. Total income
taxes paid worldwide were $896 in 1993, $1,213 in 1992 and $1,661 in 1991.

/1/ Represents exchange losses associated with the company's hedged non-U.S. tax
liabilities. These amounts offset the tax effect arising from related
hedging activities. The 1992 amount also includes $97 representing exchange
gains on unhedged non-U.S. deferred tax liabilities established in
conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 109. Excluding this item, exchange
gains and losses, net of their related tax effects, were not material in the
periods presented.
/2/ Represents tax benefit of certain stock compensation amounts that are
deductible for income tax purposes but do not affect net income.
/3/ 1993 includes a net tax benefit of $265, arising principally from U.K.
Petroleum Revenue Tax law revisions.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the financial
and tax bases of the company's assets and liabilities. Temporary differences
are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109 commencing in 1992 and are more
inclusive than timing differences as determined under previously applicable
accounting principles. Deferred income taxes for years prior to 1992 have not
been restated. The tax effects of temporary/timing differences and tax loss/tax
credit carryforwards included in the deferred income tax provision (excluding
extraordinary item and transition effect of accounting change) are as follows:

Earnings before income taxes shown below are based on the location of the

At December 31, 1993, unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries totaling
$3,526 were deemed to be permanently invested. No deferred tax liability has
been recognized with regard to the remittance of such earnings. It is not
practicable to estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred if such
earnings were remitted to the United States.
Under the tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the company operates,
deductions or credits that cannot be fully utilized for tax purposes during the
current year may be carried forward, subject to statutory limitations, to reduce
taxable income or taxes payable in a future year. At December 31, 1993, the tax
effect of such carryforwards approximated $590. Of this amount, $303 has no
expiration date, $26 expires in 1994, $154 expires after 1994 but before 2000,
and $107 expires between 2000 and 2009.

9. Extraordinary Charge from Early Extinguishment of Debt
In December 1993, there was a charge of $11, net of a tax benefit of $7, for the
redemption of $285 of outstanding debentures. In 1992, outstanding debt of $603
was redeemed with a resulting charge of $69, net of a tax benefit of $39.
Charges principally represent call premium and unamortized discount,
respectively.
10. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the following average number
of common shares outstanding: 1993 - 676,622,115; 1992 - 673,454,935; and 1991
- - 670,743,786.
11. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months or less
from time of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents are used, in part, to support a portion of the
company's commercial paper program.

market value of the company's vertically integrated petroleum and
petroleum-based chemical products exceeds cost. Inventories valued at LIFO
comprised 87 percent and 85 percent of consolidated inventories before LIFO
adjustment at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried in the aggregate at lower
costs prevailing in prior years increased 1993 net income by about $50 ($.07 per

/1/ The company had an outstanding interest rate swap agreement at December 31,
1993 and 1992 that effectively converted $50 of floating rate borrowings to
fixed rate borrowings with an average interest rate of 8.5 percent. The
remaining term of this swap agreement was more than one year at December 31,
1993.
/2/ 1992 includes $157 with a floating money market based interest rate.
/3/ 1993 includes 1,173 million Norwegian krone borrowings ($158 at the year-end
exchange rate) with an average interest rate of 5.9 percent.
1992 includes 200 million Australian dollar borrowings ($140 at the December
31, 1992 exchange rate) with a floating money market based interest rate.
/4/ Principal repayments are indexed to changes in various exchange rates and
can theoretically range from zero to twice the face amount of the note. Interest
payments are calculated on the face amount using either a fixed or floating
interest rate. Concurrent with the issuance of each of these notes, the company
entered into contractual agreements that effectively converted each note to a
U.S. dollar-denominated borrowing with (1) a fixed principal repayment amount
independent of changes in the indexation factor, and (2) either a fixed or
floating rate of interest comparing favorably with rates for the company's
nonindexed borrowings of comparable maturity.
/5/ 1993 amount represents notes denominated as 125 billion Italian lire with a
12.375 percent interest rate. Concurrent with the issuance of these notes,
the company entered into contractual agreements that effectively established
U.S. dollar-denominated principal with U.S. dollar interest payable at a
7.45 percent fixed rate.
The fair value of the company's short-term borrowings at December 31, 1993 is
estimated to be $2,900 based on quoted market prices for the same or similar
issues or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining
maturities.
Unused short-term bank credit lines amounted to approximately $2,100 at
December 31, 1993. These lines support short-term industrial development bonds,
master note borrowings and a portion of the company's commercial paper program
and other borrowings.

in 2001, converting the notes to a floating rate essentially equivalent to the
rate the company pays on its commercial paper.
/5/ Subsequent to the issuance of these debentures, the company entered into

denominated principal with U.S. dollar interest payable at a 6.9 percent fixed
rate.
/8/ Includes notes denominated as 160 million Australian dollars with a 16.5
percent interest rate issued by the company's majority-owned Canadian
subsidiary, which were effectively converted to a 149 million Canadian dollar
obligation with an implicit 12.43 percent annual cost through a series of
currency swap agreements and forward exchange contracts.
Also includes a loan in the amount of 190 million pounds sterling ($292 and
$287 at the respective 1993 and 1992 year-end exchange rates) with a floating
money market based interest rate.
1992 includes a bank loan in the amount of 4 billion Belgian financial francs
($121 at the 1992 year-end exchange rate). The company entered into forward
exchange contracts that effectively converted interest payments for the current
interest settlement period to U.S. dollar-denominated amounts.
Average interest rates on industrial development bonds and on other loans
(various currencies) were 5.5 percent and 7.4 percent at December 31, 1993, and
6.2 percent and 7.3 percent at December 31, 1992, respectively.
Maturities of long-term borrowings, together with sinking fund requirements in
each of the four years after December 31, 1994, are as follows:
1995 - $386 1997 - $789
1996 - $872 1998 - $417

26, 2003.
Awards under the Variable Compensation Plan may be granted in stock and/or
cash to employees who have contributed most in a general way to the company's
success, consideration being given to ability to succeed to more important
managerial responsibility. Such awards were $87 for 1993, $87 for 1992 and $125
for 1991. Amounts credited to the Variable Compensation Fund are dependent on
company earnings, and are subject to maximum limits as defined by the Plan. The
amounts credited to the fund were $89 in 1993, $85 in 1992 and $125 in 1991. In
accordance with the terms of the Variable Compensation Plan and similar plans of
subsidiaries, 870,447 shares of common stock were awaiting delivery from awards
for 1993 and prior years.
25. Pensions
The company has noncontributory defined benefit plans covering substantially all
U.S. employees. The benefits for these plans are based primarily on years of
service and employees' pay near retirement. The company's funding policy is
consistent with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations.
Pension coverage for employees of the company's non-U.S. consolidated
subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate
plans. Obligations under such plans are systematically provided for by
depositing funds with trustees, under insurance policies or by book reserves.
Net pension credit for defined benefit plans includes the following
components:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

31, 1992, and an assumed long-term rate of compensation increase of 5 percent.
The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is 9 percent. Plan assets
consist principally of common stocks and U.S. government obligations. For
non-U.S. plans, no one of which was material, similar economic assumptions were
used.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 permits employers to transfer
some of the excess funds from an overfunded pension trust to pay the company
portion of certain postretirement health care benefits. The company transferred
$260 million and $200 million during 1993 and 1992, respectively, to a special
retiree health care account to be used toward the payment of these benefits.
These transfers had no impact on earnings (see Note 26).
26. Other Postretirement Benefits
The parent company and certain subsidiaries provide medical, dental and life
insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. The associated plans are
unfunded, and approved claims are paid from company funds. Under the terms of
the benefit plans, the company reserves the right to change, modify or
discontinue the plans.
In 1992 the company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Medical, dental and life insurance
costs for these plans and related disclosures for 1993 and 1992 are determined
under the provisions of SFAS No. 106. Cash expenditures are not affected by
this accounting change. At January 1, 1992, the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was $5,990, and related accrued liabilities were $68,
resulting in a transition charge of $5,922.
The cost of these benefits was $347 in 1993 and $591 in 1992. The decrease in
cost in 1993 versus 1992 was due to plan changes, as discussed below. In 1991,
$247 of such cost was expensed as paid. Other postretirement benefits cost for
1993 and 1992 includes the following components:

On December 31, 1992 the company announced changes in its health care benefits
programs in the United States. These changes provide for increased cost control
through prevention and managed care, and for increased cost sharing by employees
and pensioners. The impact of these changes resulted in an unrecognized prior
service credit of $1,219 at the beginning of 1993; the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was reduced by a similar amount.
The health care accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined
at December 31, 1993 and 1992 using health care cost escalation rates of 10
percent and 11 percent, respectively, decreasing to 5 percent over ten years.
The assumed long-term rate of compensation increase used for life insurance was
5 percent. The discount rate was 7.25 percent at December 31, 1993 and 8.5
percent at December 31, 1992. A one-percentage-point increase in the health
care cost escalation rate would have increased the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation by $446 at December 31, 1993, and the 1993 other
postretirement benefit cost would have increased by $46.
27. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items
of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the
aggregate, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.
The company is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such
matters as product liabilities, governmental regulations and other actions
arising out of the normal course of business. While the effect on future
financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable
uncertainty exists, in the opinion of company counsel, the ultimate liabilities
resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position of the company.
The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws
and regulations that in the future may require the company to take action to
correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal or release of chemical
or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company has
accrued for certain environmental remediation activities consistent with the
policy set forth in Note 1. Although future remediation accruals and
expenditures could be significant, the effect on future financial results is not
subject to reasonable estimation. Management does not anticipate, however, that
they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position
of the company.
To hedge against the adverse impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the
monetary assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States, the
company enters into forward exchange contracts. At December 31, 1993, the
company had outstanding forward exchange contracts maturing between January 4,
1994 and December 19, 1996 to purchase $6,764 (principally the U.K. pound
[$2,934] and

- --------------------------------------------------

Norwegian krone [$1,517]), and to sell $2,832 (principally the Norwegian krone
[$478], Italian lira [$413], Canadian dollar [$304], and French franc [$271]) of
various currencies. The company's balance sheet at December 31, 1993 reflects
an accrual of $36 for unrealized losses associated with these contracts. The
amounts recorded approximate fair value of forward exchange contracts based on
quoted prices for contracts of comparable maturities and terms.
As described above and in Notes 18 and 20, the company has entered into a
variety of contractual agreements (financial instruments) to hedge exposures to
interest rate and foreign exchange risks. The counterparties to these
agreements are major financial institutions. The company is exposed to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company
manages this exposure to credit loss through credit approvals, limits and
monitoring procedures and, where possible, by restricting the period over which
unpaid balances are allowed to accumulate. The company does not anticipate
nonperformance by counterparties to these agreements and no material loss would
be expected from such nonperformance.
The company has indirectly guaranteed various debt obligations under
agreements with certain affiliated and other companies to provide specified
minimum revenues from shipments or purchases of products. At December 31, 1993,
these indirect guarantees totaled $14. In addition, at December 31, 1993, the
company had directly guaranteed $620 of the obligations of certain affiliated
companies and others. No material loss is anticipated by reason of such
agreements and guarantees.

29. Industry Segment Information
The company has five principal business segments that manufacture and sell a
wide range of products to many different markets, including the energy,
transportation, textile, construction, automotive, electronics, printing, health
care, packaging and agricultural markets. The company's sales are not
materially dependent on a single customer or small group of customers. The
Fibers and Polymers segments, however, have several large customers in their
respective industries that are important to these segments' operating results.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil
and Gas Reserves
The information below has been prepared in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, which requires the standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows to be based on year-end sales prices, costs
and statutory income tax rates, and a 10 percent annual discount rate.
Specifically, the per-barrel oil sales prices used to calculate the December 31,
1993 data averaged $11.00 for the United States and $12.47 for Europe and Other
Regions, and the gas prices per thousand cubic feet averaged approximately $1.92
for the United States and $2.70 for Europe and Other Regions. Because prices
used in the calculation are as of December 31, the standardized measure could
vary significantly from year-to-year based on market conditions at that specific
date.
The projections should not be viewed as realistic estimates of future cash
flows nor should the "standardized measure" be interpreted as representing
current value to the company. Material revisions to estimates of proved
reserves may occur in the future, development and production of the reserves may
not occur in the periods assumed, actual prices realized are expected to vary
significantly from those used and actual costs may also vary. The company's
investment and operating decisions are not based on the information presented
below, but on a wide range of reserve estimates that includes probable as well
as proved reserves, and on different price and cost assumptions from those
reflected in this information.
Beyond the above considerations, the "standardized measure" is also not
directly comparable with asset balances appearing elsewhere in the financial
statements, because any such comparison would require reconciling adjustments,
including reduction of the asset balances for related deferred income taxes.
