PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company (the "Company" or "Pennzoil-Quaker State") is
a premier worldwide automotive consumer products company. The Company is engaged
primarily in the manufacturing and marketing of lubricants and car care products
and the franchising, ownership and operation of fast oil change centers.
Pennzoil-Quaker State has strong brand-name recognition in key product
categories such as motor oil with Pennzoil(R), Quaker State(R) and Wolf's
Head(R), fast oil change centers with Jiffy Lube(R) and car care products with
Slick 50(R), Rain-X(R), Blue Coral(R), Black Magic(R), Westley's(R), Medo(R),
Axius(TM), Gumout(R), Fix-A-Flat(R), The Outlaw(R), Snap(R), Classic(R) car wax,
Pennzoil Roadside(TM) Rescue(R) and others.
Pennzoil-Quaker State is the result of the consolidation and separation on
December 30, 1998 (the "Spin-off") of the lubricants and consumer products and
fast oil change operations of Pennzoil Company and the acquisition by the
Company of Quaker State Corporation ("Quaker State") in a merger transaction
immediately following the Spin-off. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.
During 2000, the Company completed a strategic review of its manufacturing
assets, including its refining assets and specialty industrial products
businesses. During the review, it evaluated the strategic and financial
advantages and disadvantages it derives from the vertical integration of its
manufacturing and marketing capabilities. Based on the results of this review,
the Company began to withdraw from the refining business and to dispose of its
refineries and related assets. In February 2000, the Company ceased processing
crude oil at its Rouseville, Pennsylvania refinery. In April 2000, the Company
sold the wax processing facilities and related assets at the Rouseville refinery
and its interest in the Bareco wax marketing partnership to Calumet Lubricants
Company LP. In January 2001, the Company sold its share of Penreco, a specialty
industrial products partnership with Conoco Inc. In January 2001, the Company
announced that it was completing its exit from the refining business by entering
into a letter of intent with Calumet for the sale of the Company's Shreveport,
Louisiana refinery. Accordingly, Pennzoil-Quaker State's consolidated financial
statements have been restated to present the net assets and results of
operations of the Company's refining assets and specialty industrial products
businesses as discontinued operations.
SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Pennzoil-Quaker State's businesses are organized, managed and internally
reported under three segments. The segments, which are based on differences in
products and services, are (1) lubricants and consumer products, (2) Jiffy Lube
and (3) supply chain investments. These segments have worldwide responsibility
for virtually all of the Company's product lines.
Transactions between reportable segments are recorded at market.
Intersegment sales are from the supply chain investments segment to the
lubricants and consumer products segment and from the lubricants and consumer
products segment to the Jiffy Lube segment. The Company excludes interest
expense and income tax expense or benefit from segment profit or loss. See Note
13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional segment
financial information and for financial information about geographic areas.

- ---------------
(1) On December 30, 1998, the Company acquired Quaker State in a merger
transaction. The increase in net sales and operating income for the
lubricants and consumer products segment in 1999 was the result of the
acquisition of Quaker State on December 30, 1998 and higher product sales
volumes. The increase in net sales for the Jiffy Lube segment, corporate
administrative expense and interest expense in 1999 was also the result of
the acquisition of Quaker State.
(2) The decrease in net sales for the Jiffy Lube segment in 2000 was primarily
due to the sale of company operated centers to franchisees. The decrease in
operating income for the Jiffy Lube segment in 1999 is the result of $28.5
million of acquisition expenses and $5.4 million of other charges. The
decrease in identifiable assets for the Jiffy Lube segment in 1999 compared
to 1998
2
5
was the result of the sale of company owned stores to franchisees. In
December 1998, the Jiffy Lube segment recorded a pretax charge of $29.6
million in depreciation and amortization expense to reflect the impairment
of long-lived assets.
(3) All net sales amounts for the supply chain investments segment are
eliminated in intersegment sales and other.
(4) In 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain
inventories from the last-in first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost
method. Prior period financial statements have been restated to reflect this
accounting change. The accounting change increased operating income for 2000
by $5.5 million and for 1999 by $5.2 million and decreased operating income
for 1998 by $3.4 million. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations and
"-- Capital Resources and Liquidity" and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.
(5) Total 2000 operating income includes $34.4 million in pretax charges related
to the acquisition of Quaker State and $22.9 million in pretax charges
associated with a general and administrative cost reduction effort recorded
in corporate administrative expense. Total 1999 operating income includes
$75.1 million in pretax charges related to the acquisition of Quaker State
and $6.8 million in pretax charges for restructuring costs and other
matters. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations" for additional
information.
(6) In December 2000, the lubricants and consumer products segment recorded a
pretax charge of $10.0 million related to the pending sales of two of the
Company's blending and packaging plants. In December 1999, the lubricants
and consumer products segment recorded a pretax charge of $13.9 million
related to the closure of the Rouseville blending and packaging plant. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
(7) Identifiable assets includes $2.1 million, $3.4 million and $8.3 million in
equity method investments at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(8) Other capital expenditures primarily consist of building leasehold upgrades.
Narrative descriptions of these business segments follow, with emphasis on
2000 developments. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, references to the
Company or Pennzoil-Quaker State include its subsidiaries.
LUBRICANTS AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS
The Company's lubricants and consumer products segment manufactures and
markets lubricants and other automotive aftermarket consumer products.
LUBRICANTS. The Company manufactures and markets Pennzoil(R), Quaker
State(R) and Wolf's Head(R) motor oil. The Company also manufactures and markets
transmission fluids, gear lubricants and greases, as well as specialty
lubricants designed for sport utility vehicles, marine craft, motorcycles and
snowmobiles. These other lubricants are sold under the Pennzoil(R) and Quaker
State(R) brand names and certain private label and proprietary brand names. The
Company also markets automobile consumer products such as oil and air filters
and antifreeze produced by third parties.
The primary markets for the Company's lubricants are mass merchandisers,
auto parts stores, lube centers and automobile dealerships. Secondary markets
include convenience stores, drug stores, grocery stores, tire stores and
independent automotive repair facilities. The Company markets its branded motor
oils in packages ranging in size from four ounces to 55 gallons and sells a
significant amount in bulk to the installed market. Packaged motor oil is
primarily sold in one quart plastic bottles.
Consumer marketing for the Company's lubricants focuses primarily on the
driving conditions experienced by vehicle owners and the technical benefits that
lubricants can provide under those conditions. Key components of the marketing
strategy include targeted media, motorsports participation, public relations and
consumer promotions. Targeted media includes national and local television,
radio and print advertising designed to reach specific populations of consumers
based upon their usage. Motorsports participation includes team sponsorships in
NASCAR(R), Indy Racing League(R), NHRA(R) and the sponsorship of the Pennzoil
World of Outlaws(R), a grass roots sprint car racing series. In addition,
several national and local racing events are sponsored by the Company.
In marketing its lubricants, the Company utilizes a brand management
structure. Under this approach, the Company centralizes all brand-related
activity under a single manager for each brand, allowing coordination of all
strategic and tactical decisions for advertising and promotions, product
packaging and positioning, formulation strategy and pricing. The brand manager
is responsible for developing the annual marketing plan that is designed to
enhance brand equity.

Motor oils and lubricants are produced by the Company by blending additives
and lubricant base oils in eleven domestic blending and packaging plants. These
plants are located in Portland, Oregon; Vernon, California; Alameda, California;
Shreveport, Louisiana (where two are located); Mundy's Corner, Pennsylvania; St.
Louis, Missouri; Marion, Illinois; Newell, West Virginia; Vicksburg,
Mississippi; and San Antonio, Texas. In 2000, the Company shut down its
Rouseville, Pennsylvania blending and packaging plant in conjunction with the
sale of the Rouseville wax processing facilities. In addition, as part of an
ongoing initiative to streamline and merge manufacturing processes, the Company
sold its Carson, California blending and packaging plant in December 2000 and
has entered into negotiations with third parties to sell both its Alameda,
California and San Antonio, Texas facilities. The Newell, West Virginia location
is leased and the other locations are owned by the Company. Base oils processed
by the Company's blending and packaging plants are purchased at prevailing
market prices and supplied primarily by the supply chain investments segment and
outside suppliers. Substantially all additives are purchased from outside
suppliers.
In December 2000, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the net assets associated with its Viscosity Oil Division. The Viscosity Oil
Division was engaged in the business of supplying technical support services and
both branded and private label engine lubricants to North American off-road and
agriculture equipment markets.
At the end of 2000, the Company's lubricants were distributed domestically
through 49 owned and operated distribution facilities in 25 states. The
Company's products are also distributed through independent distributors and
directly from third-party suppliers.
The Company markets Pennzoil(R) and Quaker State(R) lubricants and consumer
products in more than 90 countries outside of the United States through directly
and indirectly wholly and partly owned subsidiary companies, joint ventures,
licensees, distributors and jobbers. During 2000, the Company's largest national
markets outside the United States (by total lubricant sales volume) were Canada,
Mexico, Thailand, India and Indonesia. The Company's motor oil and other
lubricants are blended and packaged by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company
in Australia, Bolivia and Spain, by a majority owned subsidiary in India, by
joint ventures in Malaysia and Peru and by licensees in Indonesia, Mexico, the
Philippines, Switzerland and Thailand.

JIFFY LUBE
The Company provides fast automotive preventive maintenance services in the
United States and Canada under the Jiffy Lube(R) name.
As of December 31, 2000, 2,143 Jiffy Lube(R) service centers were open in
metropolitan areas throughout the United States with a heavy concentration of
centers in the northeastern and eastern part of the United States. Franchisees
operated 1,663 of these service centers and the other 480 service centers were
owned and operated by Jiffy Lube, including 20 franchised service centers and 46
company-operated service centers at Sears Auto Centers across the United States.
Jiffy Lube's primary service is Jiffy Lube Signature Service(TM), which can
generally be performed in 10 minutes or less, and which includes an oil change
and oil filter replacement, chassis lubrication, checking and topping off
windshield washer, transmission, differential and power steering fluid levels,
vacuuming the interior and cleaning all exterior windows. All tires are inflated
to proper levels, the battery fluid and engine coolant levels are checked, and
the air filter and windshield wiper blades are inspected. Coolant replenishment
is at an additional charge, as is replacement of air filters and wiper blades. A
number of other authorized services and products, including Pennzoil-Quaker
State products, are also available at Jiffy Lube(R) service centers at an
additional cost. Pennzoil(R) and Quaker State(R) motor oils are the featured
motor oils in company-operated service centers and in most franchise-operated
centers. Pennzoil(R) and Quaker State(R) brands constituted approximately 88% of
the lubricants used by Jiffy Lube in 2000.
Jiffy Lube was ranked fourth in the world among all franchises in the 22nd
Annual Franchise 500 (Entrepreneur, January 2001), rising from last year's
ranking of number five. Jiffy Lube also maintained its first-place ranking among
fast oil change centers in the Franchise 500 (Entrepreneur, January 2001).
Entrepreneur also ranks Jiffy Lube the 11th fastest growing franchise in the
world.
SUPPLY CHAIN INVESTMENTS
This segment includes Pennzoil-Quaker State's equity investment in Excel
Paralubes. The Company and Conoco are equal partners in Excel Paralubes, which
operates a state-of-the-art base oil processing facility located adjacent to
Conoco's refinery near Lake Charles, Louisiana. The facility is capable of
producing 20,000 barrels per day of base oils. Excel Paralubes is an integral
part of the Company's supply chain, providing a significant portion of high
quality base oils needed to produce the Company's finished motor oils and other
lubricating products. The segment results include the purchase of base oils from
the partnership at market price and the subsequent intercompany sale to the
lubricants and consumer products segment and the income from its equity
investment in Excel Paralubes. Conoco operates the plant with support positions
staffed
5
8
primarily by Conoco. The Company purchases 50% of base oil production volume of
Excel Paralubes at contract rates based on prevailing market prices.
COMPETITION
The lubricants business is highly competitive. The major competitors of the
Company and their principal brands of motor oil in the United States are Ashland
Inc. (Valvoline(R)), Texaco Inc. (Havoline(R)), BP Amoco p.l.c. (Castrol(R)),
and Exxon Mobil Corporation (Mobil(R)). The Company also competes with a number
of independent blending and packaging companies. Outside of the United States,
the Company also competes with major fuels marketers and state-owned petroleum
companies. The principal methods of competition in the motor oil business are
breadth of product portfolio, product quality, price, distribution capability,
advertising and sales promotion. Some of the competitors, particularly the major
integrated oil companies, have greater financial resources than the Company.
The car care consumer products business is highly competitive and very
fragmented. The car care industry is composed of several categories, such as
maintenance chemicals, appearance chemicals, tire cleaners and air fresheners.
Major branded competitors in these categories are STP(R), primarily a
maintenance chemical, and appearance products Armor All(R) and Turtle Wax(R).
Many other national brands exist in each of the various categories, although, in
general, they have small market shares. Private label brands also compete with
the national brands with respect to certain car care products. The principal
methods of competition in car care products are specific product benefits,
distribution capability and advertising and sales promotion.
The fast oil change business is highly competitive. Major competitors
include Ashland Inc. through its Valvoline Instant Oil Change(R) centers. A
large number of independent fast lube chains also compete with Jiffy Lube(R) on
a regional or local basis. In addition to competing with other fast lube
centers, Jiffy Lube(R) service centers compete with automobile dealers, service
stations and garages. The principal methods of competition are quality of
service, speed, location, warranty, price, convenience, reliability and sales
promotion.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company's trademark portfolio exceeds 3,000 domestic and foreign
trademark registrations and applications, with most of its primary brand names
being protected by registered trademarks. Pennzoil-Quaker State recognizes the
importance of its strong brand names to its business. Therefore, the Company
actively polices the use of its trademarks throughout the world where its
products are sold and takes vigorous action against apparent infringements of
its trademarks.
The Company currently has approximately 159 patents and over 137 pending
patent applications. The subject matter of these patents and patent applications
include lubricants, synthetic lubricants, lubricant additives, automotive
chemicals, various hydrocarbon and ester gel technologies, and automotive
accessories.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development division focuses on consumer
products technology as a major area of growth for the corporation. Lubricants
and base oil technology, packaging technology and quality development are also
emphasized.
As a result of the business-focused deployment of research and development,
the Company launched more than twenty new products in 2000. One of these
products, Quaker State(R) Higher Mileage Engine(TM) Motor Oil, was selected by
the editors of "Popular Mechanics" to receive their product innovation award for
2000.
The Company spent approximately $16.0 million on research activities and
quality enhancement in 2000. The activities are carried out primarily in a
65,700 square foot facility at The Woodlands, Texas.

Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Ozone Transport
Assessment Group ("OTAG"), Ozone Transport Region ("OTR") and several states are
examining new standards and/or controls which could impose significant costs on
the Company. The EPA recently adopted new, more stringent national ambient air
quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, which would designate many
more areas of the country as high pollution areas subject to additional
regulatory controls, including possible fuel specification requirements.
However, litigation over the new standards has rendered their implementation
uncertain. The multi-state OTAG and OTR groups are developing lists of suggested
controls to limit interstate ozone transport. The precise effect of these
actions on the Company and other industrial companies is uncertain because most
of the requirements will be implemented through EPA regulations to be issued
over a period of years. However, current estimates indicate that expenditures
associated with the installation of such equipment would not have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company is also subject to certain laws and regulations relating to
environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar state statutes. In response
to liabilities associated with these activities, accruals have been established
when reasonable estimates are possible. The Company adjusts the accruals when
new remediation responsibilities are discovered and probable costs become
estimable, or when current remediation estimates are adjusted to reflect new
information.
The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental
laws is subject to uncertainty due to the difficult process of estimating
remediation costs that are subject to ongoing and evolving change. Initial
estimates of remediation costs reflect a broad-based analysis of site conditions
and potential environmental and human health impacts derived from preliminary
site investigations (including soil and water analysis, migration pathways and
potential risk). Later changes in these initial estimates may be based on
additional site investigations, completion of feasibility studies (comparing and
selecting from among various remediation methods and technologies) and risk
assessments (determining the degree of current and future risk to the
environment and human health, based on current scientific and regulatory
criteria) and the
7
10
actual implementation of the remediation plan. This process occurs over
relatively long periods of time and is influenced by regulatory and community
approval processes and is subject to the ongoing development of remediation
technologies. The Company's assessment analysis takes into account the condition
of each site at the time of estimation, the degree of uncertainty surrounding
the estimates for each phase of remediation and other site-specific factors.
From January 1998 through December 2000, capital outlays of approximately
$2.0 million have been made by the Company with respect to environmental
protection. There are no capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities currently expected in 2001. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Capital Resources and
Liquidity -- Environmental" for additional information.
FRANCHISE MATTERS. Jiffy Lube is subject to, and devotes substantial
efforts to compliance with, a variety of federal and state laws governing
franchise sales and marketing and franchise trade practices. Although the
regulatory environment differs by state, applicable laws and regulations
generally require disclosure of business information in connection with the sale
of franchises. Certain state regulations also affect the ability of the
franchisor to revoke or refuse to renew a franchise. Jiffy Lube seeks to comply
with applicable regulatory requirements. However, given the scope of the Jiffy
Lube business and the nature of franchise regulations, compliance problems can
be encountered from time to time.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
(a) BLUE CORAL. In May 1997, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of a class
of persons who purchased wax, polish or protectant products sold by a number of
defendants. The action names as defendants a number of car wax manufacturers,
including Blue Coral, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and certain of its
present and former officers. The complaint alleges that the defendants falsely
advertised and marketed such products and seeks treble damages, attorneys' fees
and costs for the class for alleged violations of the federal Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and compensatory damages for alleged
violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act as well as for breach of
express warranty. On January 5, 1999, the court certified a nationwide class
consisting of all persons who purchased products marketed, produced or
distributed as "car wax" by the defendants. While no class period has been
specified by the court, the plaintiffs are seeking a class period dating back
four years prior to the filing of the action. The Company is contesting this
action vigorously.
(b) IQ PRODUCTS. A lawsuit filed in June 1998 by IQ Products Company in
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division, claims Snap Products, Inc. and the Company, which purchased certain
Snap Products, Inc. assets in 1997, violated the Lanham Act in connection with
the manufacture and sale of Fix-a-Flat(R) tire sealant and inflator. The
plaintiff claims that Snap Products and the Company (i) should have labeled the
product as "flammable," as allegedly required by the Federal Hazardous
Substances Act, and (ii) incorrectly advertised and labeled the product as
containing a "non-explosive formula." Plaintiff's complaint seeks unspecified
damages. In January 2001, the plaintiff filed a second lawsuit against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division, claiming that the Company has violated federal and Texas
antitrust law in marketing its tire inflation and sealer products. The plaintiff
seeks unspecified actual and trebled damages, attorneys' fees and interest. The
Company is contesting these actions vigorously.
(c) CALIFORNIA SCENTS. In January 2000, a lawsuit styled California Scents,
Inc. v. Medo Industries, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for
the Central District of California. The plaintiff alleges that it is engaged in
the manufacture and sale of automotive air freshener in the United States and
that the defendant, Medo Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has
monopolized and attempted to monopolize that business in violation of federal
antitrust laws. The plaintiff also alleges that the defendant has, in violation
of California state law, tortiously interfered with the plaintiff's prospective
business relationships and engaged in unfair business practices. The plaintiff
claims that the defendant's alleged actions have caused the plaintiff to suffer
actual damages of $16.0 million, plus $4.0 million per year for an unspecified
number of
8
11
years into the future. The plaintiff seeks trebled damages, punitive damages,
restitution with respect to its claim of unfair business practices and
injunctive relief. The Company is contesting this action vigorously.
(d) OTHER. The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits, primarily in
Louisiana and West Virginia, involving asbestos and asbestos-containing
products. The plaintiffs generally allege exposure to asbestos and
asbestos-containing products while working on the premises of the premises
defendants and strict liability and negligence actions against the premises'
defendants, including the Company. In addition, the plaintiffs generally allege
that asbestos-containing products sold, distributed and supplied by the other
defendants in the lawsuits were defective and unreasonably dangerous and that
those defendants were thus negligent in failing to warn the plaintiffs of these
dangers. The Company is contesting these actions vigorously.

- ---------------
(1) The increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to
the year ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to an increase in
lubricants prices resulting from a significant increase in base oil prices
and higher equity income due to higher base oil margins partially offset by
a decrease in sales volumes. The increase in revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1999 compared
12
15
to the year ended December 31, 1998 was primarily due to the acquisition of
Quaker State Corporation. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information.
(2) The 2000 net income from continuing operations includes after-tax charges of
$44.6 million ($73.6 million pretax). These charges include $10.0 million
pretax charges related to the pending sales of two of the Company's blending
and packaging plants, $34.4 million in pretax charges related to the
acquisition of Quaker State, $22.9 million in pretax charges associated with
a general and administrative cost reduction effort and $.2 million pretax
charges for other matters. The 1999 net loss from continuing operations
includes after-tax charges of $60.0 million ($95.8 million pretax). These
charges include $75.1 million in pretax charges related to the acquisition
of Quaker State, $13.9 million pretax charges associated with the closure of
the Rouseville, Pennsylvania blending and packaging plant and $6.8 million
pretax charges in restructuring costs and other matters. The 1998 net loss
includes after-tax charges of $59.4 million ($93.5 million pretax). These
charges include $10.6 million in pretax expenses related to the acquisition
of Quaker State, $29.6 million in pretax charges for the impairment of fast
lube assets required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," $25.0 million in pretax charges
associated with the voluntary withdrawal and reformulation of Fix-A-Flat(R)
tire inflator products and $28.3 million in pretax charges for litigation
settlement expenses, net loss on sales of assets and other matters. The 1997
net loss includes pretax charges of $22.0 million allocated to the Company
by its former parent company. The 1996 net loss includes a pretax charge of
$24.4 million for pre-operating expenses of Excel Paralubes. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" for additional information related to 1998 through 2000.
(3) All years have been restated to reflect the 2000 change in inventory
accounting method for certain products from the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method to the average cost method. The accounting change increased net
income from continuing operations for 2000 by $3.3 million, or $.04 per
diluted share, increased net income from continuing operations for 1999 by
$3.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share, decreased net income from
continuing operations for 1998 by $2.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share,
decreased net income from continuing operations for 1997 by $0.8 million, or
$.02 per diluted share, and decreased net income from continuing operations
for 1996 by $3.7 million, or $.08 per diluted share. See Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(4) Discontinued operations includes an income tax provision (benefit) of
($60.1) million, ($196.2) million, ($13.5) million, ($6.8) million and $5.7
million for the years 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. See
Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
(5) Includes current maturities of long-term debt and current portion of capital
lease obligations.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
See the Segment Financial Information included in Item 1. Business and Item
2. Properties and the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-3
for additional information.
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company is the result of the consolidation and
separation on December 30, 1998 of the lubricants and consumer products and fast
lube operations of Pennzoil Company and the acquisition by the Company of Quaker
State in a merger transaction immediately following the separation.
Results of operations for Pennzoil-Quaker State do not include Quaker
State's results prior to the acquisition. In addition, operating results in 1998
include certain affiliated charges for interest and services provided by
Pennzoil Company to Pennzoil-Quaker State that were not incurred by
Pennzoil-Quaker State in 1999 and 2000.
In 2000, the Company recorded a $22.9 million charge associated with a
general and administrative cost reduction effort. The charge related to each
operating segment is as follows: lubricants and consumer products -- $11.0
million; Jiffy Lube -- $1.0 million; other -- $10.9 million. The Company is
reducing the number of employees and consolidating office space in order to
reduce general and administrative expenses. The restructuring is expected to be
completed by the end of 2001. These charges primarily included severance for
approximately 400 administrative and operational employees and the accrual of
future lease obligations and restoration costs of office space in Houston. Also
included in the charges was the write-off of obsolete information technology
assets. Severance payments for the former employees are expected to be paid out
over a minimum period of two months and a maximum period of up to two years. For
the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately 400 employees had been
terminated as a result of workforce reductions pursuant to the general and
administrative cost reduction plan. The accrued liability balance was reduced by
$4.4 million through December 31, 2000 as a result of the severance expenses
paid, and the remaining accrual at December 31, 2000 totaled $13.8 million.
13
16
In 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for inventories,
including base oils, lubricants, polishes, waxes and air fresheners, from the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost method. See Note 2 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", prior
period financial statements have been restated to reflect this accounting
change. The accounting change increased net income from continuing operations
for the year ended December 31, 2000 by $3.3 million or $.04 per diluted share,
increased net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31,
1999 by $3.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share, and decreased net income from
continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 by $2.1 million, or
$.04 per diluted share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2000 COMPARED WITH 1999
The Company had net sales of $2,270.6 million for 2000, an increase of $6.5
million, or 0.3%, from 1999. Net sales increased by 5.5% in the lubricants and
consumer products segment and by 41% in the supply chain investments segment.
Net sales in the Jiffy Lube segment decreased 22%, reflecting fewer
company-operated service centers in operation during 2000.
Net income from continuing operations was $5.9 million for 2000 compared to
a net loss of $10.7 million for 1999. Results from continuing operations for
2000 included pretax charges of $73.6 million. Included in these charges were
$10.0 million related to the pending sales of two of the Company's blending and
packaging plants, $34.4 million of costs associated with the Company's
acquisition of Quaker State, $29.0 million in charges associated with a general
and administrative cost reduction effort and $0.2 million charges for other
matters. Excluding these items, net income from continuing operations was $50.5
in 2000.
Results from continuing operations for 1999 included pretax charges of
$95.8 million. Included in these charges were $75.1 million due to costs
associated with the Company's acquisition of Quaker State, $13.9 million due to
costs associated with the closure of the Rouseville, Pennsylvania blending and
packaging plant and $6.8 million in restructuring costs and other matters.
Excluding these items, net income from continuing operations was $49.4 million
in 1999.
LUBRICANTS AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS. Net sales for the lubricants and consumer
products segment in 2000 were $1,998.8 million compared to net sales of $1,894.3
million for 1999. The 5.5% increase in net sales from 1999 to 2000 was primarily
due to higher international and consumer product sales volumes and higher
average lubricant product prices. Operating income from this segment was $181.1
million for 2000 compared to $171.7 million for 1999. Operating income in 2000
was reduced by $20.5 million of expenses associated with the acquisition of
Quaker State compared to $25.7 million of such expenses in 1999. Excluding these
acquisition expenses, operating income was $201.6 million in 2000, an increase
of $4.2 million, or 2.2%, over 1999.
JIFFY LUBE. Net sales recorded by the Jiffy Lube segment decreased 22% for
2000 compared to 1999. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the sale
of company-operated centers to franchisees. Net sales reported by the Jiffy Lube
segment consist of sales revenues from company-operated service centers,
franchise fees, royalty revenues and rental income. System-wide sales increased
$85.2 million to $1,185.7 million for 2000 compared to $1,100.5 million for 1999
as a result of an increased number of service centers open and an increase in
the average ticket price. System-wide average ticket prices increased to $40.23
in 2000 compared with $37.49 in 1999, as customers continue to take advantage of
additional authorized services and products available at service centers. There
were 2,143 service centers (including 480 company-operated service centers) open
in the United States as of December 31, 2000. Jiffy Lube reported operating
income of $23.6 million during 2000 compared to an operating loss of $16.4
million in 1999. Included in 2000 and 1999 results are charges of $4.3 million
and $33.9 million, respectively, for acquisition, legal and other expenses.
Excluding these charges, operating income totaled $27.9 million in 2000 compared
to $17.5 million in 1999. The increase in operating income in 2000 is due
primarily to higher rent and royalty income and lower selling, general and
administrative costs.
During 2000, the Jiffy Lube segment acquired six centers for $4.3 million
in cash. Five real estate sites were acquired for $1.4 million in cash and a
note payable of $0.1 million. During 2000, the Jiffy Lube segment
14
17
sold 36 centers for $3.6 million in cash and $1.1 million in notes issued and 19
real estate sites for $6.1 million in cash and $0.2 million in notes issued. In
addition, 38 centers were closed during 2000, some of which were closed as a
result of overlapping trade areas with various stores added as a result of the
Q-Lube conversion.
SUPPLY CHAIN INVESTMENTS. Net sales for the supply chain investments
segment, all of which were to the Company's lubricants and consumer products
segment, were $166.8 million in 2000, compared to net sales of $118.4 million
for 1999. The 41% increase in net sales for 2000 compared to 1999 was primarily
due to higher base oil prices. Other income for this segment for 2000 was $18.9
million compared to $7.3 million for 1999. Other income represents the earnings
from the Excel Paralubes partnership with Conoco, which is recorded using the
equity method of accounting. The increase in equity income also reflects
increased margins due to higher base oil prices relative to supply costs.
Operating income from this segment was $31.6 million for 2000 compared to $15.1
million in 1999. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher
base oil margins.
OTHER. Other operating income in 2000 was $0.5 million, compared to $3.4
million in 1999. The decrease in 2000 compared to 1999 was primarily due to
lower income from the Company's captive insurance subsidiary.
CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Corporate administrative expenses in 2000
were $108.3 million compared to $81.8 million in 1999. The increase in 2000
compared to 1999 is primarily due to charges associated with a general and
administrative cost reduction effort, partially offset by lower merger related
expenses.
1999 COMPARED WITH 1998
The Company had net sales of $2,264.1 million for 1999, an increase of
$1,017.8 million, or 82%, from 1998.
Net loss from continuing operations was $10.7 million for 1999 compared to
a net loss from continuing operations of $43.8 million in 1998. Results from
continuing operations for 1999 included pretax charges of $95.8 million.
Included in these charges were $75.1 million due to costs associated with the
Company's acquisition of Quaker State, $13.9 million due to costs associated
with the closure of the Company's blending and packaging plant and $6.8 million
in restructuring costs and other matters. Excluding these items, net income from
continuing operations was $49.4 million.
Results from continuing operations for 1998 included pretax charges of
$93.5 million. Included in these charges were $10.6 million in pretax expenses
related to the acquisition of Quaker State, $29.6 million in charges for the
impairment of Jiffy Lube assets required under SFAS No. 121, $25.0 million
associated with the voluntary withdrawal and reformulation of Fix-A-Flat(R) tire
inflator products and $28.3 million in charges for litigation settlement
expenses, net loss on sales of assets and other matters. Excluding these items,
the Company's net loss from continuing operations was $15.6 million in 1998. See
Note 2 and Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
LUBRICANTS AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS. Net sales for the lubricants and consumer
products segment in 1999 were $1,894.3 million compared to net sales of $960.5
million for 1998. The 97% increase in net sales from 1998 to 1999 was primarily
due to the acquisition of Quaker State and higher lubricating product sales
volumes. Operating income from this segment was $171.7 million for 1999 compared
to $52.5 million in 1998. Operating income in 1999 included $25.7 million of
expenses associated with the acquisition of Quaker State. Operating income in
1998 included charges of $25.0 million associated with the voluntary withdrawal
and reformulation of Fix-A-Flat(R) tire inflator products and $14.2 million for
impairments, write-offs and other charges. Excluding these charges, operating
income was $197.4 million in 1999, an increase of $105.7 million, or 115%, over
1998. Operating income increased primarily due to the acquisition of Quaker
State.
JIFFY LUBE. Net sales recorded by the Jiffy Lube segment increased 31% for
1999 compared to 1998. The increase in net sales was due primarily to an
increase in the number of service centers resulting from the addition of Quaker
State's Q Lube operations. Net sales reported by the Jiffy Lube segment consist
of sales revenues from company-operated service centers and franchise fees,
royalty revenues, rental income and proceeds from automotive product sales to
franchisee operated service centers. System-wide sales increased $282.9 million
to $1,100.5 million for 1999 compared to $817.6 million for 1998 as a result of
an increased
15
18
number of service centers open and an increase in the average ticket price.
System-wide average ticket prices increased to $37.49 in 1999 compared with
$36.71 in 1998, as customers continue to take advantage of additional authorized
services and products available at service centers. There were 2,144 service
centers (including 549 company-operated service centers) open as of December 31,
1999.
The Jiffy Lube segment reported an operating loss of $16.4 million during
1999 compared to an operating loss of $33.7 million during 1998. Included in
1999 and 1998 results are charges of $33.9 million and $44.4 million,
respectively, for impairments, acquisition expenses, legal expenses and other
liabilities. Excluding these charges, operating income totaled $17.5 million in
1999 compared to $10.7 million in 1998. The increase in operating income in 1999
over 1998 is primarily due to the addition of Quaker State's Q Lube operations.
During 1999, the Jiffy Lube segment acquired 32 centers for cash of $26.2
million and sold 423 Q Lube(R) and Jiffy Lube(R) service centers for cash of
$76.0 million and $6.1 million in notes issued. In addition, 71 Q Lube(R) and 49
Jiffy Lube(R) centers were closed during the year.
SUPPLY CHAIN INVESTMENTS. Net sales for the supply chain investments
segment, all of which were to the Company's lubricants and consumer products
segment, were $118.4 million in 1999 compared to net sales of $110.9 million for
1998. The 6.7% increase in net sales from 1999 to 1998 was primarily due to
higher base oil prices and higher volumes. Other income for this segment for
1999 was $7.3 million compared to $16.4 million for 1998. The decrease in other
income was primarily due to the effects of higher feedstock costs in 1999.
Operating income from this segment was $15.1 million for 1999 compared to $23.5
million in 1998. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower
base oil margins, partially offset by higher volumes.
OTHER. Other operating income in 1999 was $3.4 million, compared to a loss
of $8.1 million in 1998. The increase in 1999 compared to 1998 was primarily due
to higher income from the Company's captive insurance subsidiary.
CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE. Corporate administrative expenses in 1999 were
$81.8 million compared to $45.1 million in 1998. The increase in 1999 compared
to 1998 is primarily due to the addition of Quaker State and the related
acquisition costs.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company's after-tax loss from discontinued operations was $51.7 million
($85.4 million pretax), $300.5 million ($496.6 million pretax) and $20.7 million
($34.2 million pretax) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. The Company's estimated after-tax loss on disposal of discontinued
operations was $40.4 million ($66.8 million pretax) in 2000. See Note 14 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During 2000, the Company completed a strategic review of its manufacturing
assets, including its refining assets and speciality business. During the
review, it evaluated the strategic and financial advantages and disadvantages it
derives from the vertical integration of its manufacturing and marketing
capabilities. Based on the results of this review, the Company began to withdraw
from the refining business and to dispose of its refineries and related assets.
In February 2000, the Company ceased processing crude oil at its Rouseville,
Pennsylvania refinery. In April 2000, the Company sold the wax processing
facilities and related assets at the Rouseville refinery and its interest in the
Bareco wax marketing partnership to Calumet. In January 2001, the Company sold
its share of Penreco, a specialty industrial products partnership with Conoco.
In January 2001, the Company announced that it was completing its exit from the
refining business by entering into a letter of intent with Calumet for the sale
of the Company's Shreveport, Louisiana refinery. The sale is expected to be
completed in the second quarter of 2001. Accordingly, the net assets and results
of operations of the Company's refining assets and specialty industrial products
businesses, including the Shreveport and Rouseville refineries and the Penreco
partnership, have been combined and reported as discontinued operations in the
accompanying financial statements. In connection with the pending Shreveport
refinery disposition, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $138.1 million
related to asset impairments and liabilities incurred, including environmental,
contract buyout, severance and other costs.
16
19
In 1999, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $445.9 million under SFAS
No. 121 to reflect the write-down of its Rouseville and Shreveport refineries.
In connection with the above action, the Company also accrued $34.1 million in
additional expenses related to sale and closure of the Rouseville refinery.
These additional expenses included (a) $7.3 million in severance costs (b) $12.0
million in environmental costs for cleanup and removal of tanks and equipment
and (c) $14.8 million in other disposal costs.
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pennzoil-Quaker State is exposed to market risk, including adverse changes
in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. See
Note 2, Note 5, Note 10 and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
INTEREST. At December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company's long-term
debt, including commercial paper and short-term variable rate credit agreements,
was estimated to be $1,059.4 million using quoted market prices or, where such
prices were not available, discounted future cash flows based on estimated year-
end interest rates of debt with the same remaining average maturities and credit
quality. The carrying amount of the long-term debt at December 31, 2000 exceeded
its fair value by $148.8 million. A hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in
market interest rates relative to the aforementioned securities would not have
had a material effect on the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000.
At December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company's notes receivable was
estimated to be $46.3 million using discounted future cash flows based on
estimated year-end interest rates at which similar loans have been made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. The
carrying amount of the notes receivable at December 31, 2000 exceeded its fair
value by $5.2 million. A hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in market
interest rates relative to the aforementioned securities would not have had a
material effect on the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2000.
HEDGING ACTIVITIES. Pennzoil-Quaker State enters into forward exchange
contracts and options to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on
certain monetary liabilities and commitments denominated in foreign currencies.
The purpose of entering into these hedges is to minimize the impact of foreign
currency fluctuations on the results of operations. The unrealized gains and
losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized in the results of
operations in the period in which the hedged transaction is consummated. There
were no outstanding forward currency contracts at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and
unrealized gains at December 31, 1998 were not material.
In 1998, the Company entered into four interest rate locks, based upon the
30-year Treasury rate, to lock-in interest rates for future issuances of
long-term indebtedness. The hedge contracts matured in March 1999 when the
Company issued $400.0 million of 30-year debentures. The total loss of $2.1
million on the interest rate hedges was treated as an adjustment to the issue
price of the debentures, effectively creating a discount that is being amortized
over the life of the borrowings.
In connection with the issuance of $150.0 million of two-year fixed rate
notes in December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into a fixed to floating
interest rate swap to maintain its mix of variable rate versus fixed rate debt.
The Company designated the swap as a fair value hedge. If the swap were
terminated at December 29, 2000, the Company would have received $1.3 million
from the swap counterparty.
INTEREST CHARGES, NET
Interest charges, net, for the Company increased $14.3 million, or 18%, for
the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in average long-term debt and interest
rates.
17
20
Interest charges, net, increased $10.6 million, or 15%, in 1999 compared to
1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average long-term debt
outstanding for a full twelve month period as a result of the acquisition of
Quaker State on December 30, 1998, partially offset by a decrease in interest
rates.

======= ======= =======
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
LIQUIDITY. The Company's management believes that cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to meet debt service and working capital needs during 2001.
The initiatives undertaken by the Company to reduce inventory and sell
non-strategic assets will improve the Company's cash flow over historical levels
during 2001. In addition, the Company has sufficient availability under its
credit facilities to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures if
necessary. In the event of cash flow constraints, capital expenditures could be
postponed to fund other obligations if required.
CASH FLOW. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38.3 million,
$20.2 million and $14.9 million at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Cash flow generated from operating activities before changes in
operating assets and liabilities was $144.7 million, $133.8 million and $77.1
million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
Company's cash flow from continuing operations for the year ended December 31,
2000 increased $104.8 million compared to the same period in 1999, and cash flow
from operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $244.3 million
compared to the same period in 1998. The increase in cash flow from continuing
operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in
1999 is primarily due to reductions in inventory levels and improved operating
results. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Capital expenditures were $78.5 million in 2000,
$70.6 million in 1999 and $70.0 million in 1998. The 2001 capital budget for the
Company is estimated to be approximately $70.0 million.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Current receivables include trade accounts and notes
receivable and are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $23.9 million and
$18.8 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Long-term receivables
consist of notes receivable and are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of
$1.8 million at December 31, 2000 and $1.0 million at December 31, 1999.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, current receivables included notes
receivable of $15.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Other assets
included long-term notes receivable of $36.3 million at December 31, 2000 and
$36.0 million at December 31, 1999. The long-term receivables are loans that are
made to customers to enhance their operations. Each loan requires a promissory
note between the customer and the Company, and most require payment of principal
and interest. Similar to other incentive programs, sales agreements normally
accompany the loans.
Pennzoil-Quaker State, through its wholly owned subsidiary Pennzoil
Receivables Company ("PRC"), sells certain of its accounts receivable to a third
party. PRC is a special limited purpose corporation and its assets are available
solely to satisfy the claims of its own creditors and not those of
Pennzoil-Quaker State or its affiliates. The receivables sales facility provides
for ongoing sales of up to $170.0 million of accounts receivable. The facility
expires in August 2001, and the Company is currently in the process of extending
the facility for an additional year. The Company's net accounts receivable sold
under this facility totaled $149.1 at December 31, 2000 and $153.1 million at
December 31, 1999.
18
21
The Company maintains a lube center receivable purchase and sale agreement,
which provides for the sale of certain notes receivable up to $275.0 million to
third parties through a wholly owned subsidiary, Pennzoil Lube Center Acceptance
Corporation ("PLCAC"). The program is used to assist purchasers of the Company's
lubricant products in obtaining favorable long-term financing. The lubricant
customers are the primary obligors on the long-term loans. The cumulative sales
amount limit was increased in June 2000 from $220.0 million to $275.0 million.
The assets of PLCAC are available solely to satisfy the claims of its own
creditors and not those of Pennzoil-Quaker State or its affiliates. The
agreement terminates on March 13, 2004 or on the date on which the aggregate
purchase price reaches $275.0 million. The Company's notes receivable sold under
the agreement totaled $159.0 million as of December 31, 2000 and $153.2 million
as of December 31, 1999.
INVENTORY. The Company had inventory of $169.0 million and $197.1 million
at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The 1999 balance has
been restated to reflect the change in the Company's method of accounting for
certain inventories including base oils, lubricants, polishes, waxes and air
fresheners from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost method.
The $28.1 million decrease in inventory was primarily due to the sale of
facilities and inventory reduction initiatives.
During 2000, 30% of the domestic lubricants inventory was liquidated as a
result of an initiative to reduce overall lubricant and motor oil inventory
levels. The Company began consolidating distribution centers in 2000 and
utilizing new forecasting methods in order to decrease the amount of inventory
on hand needed to meet customer needs.
The planned disposition of the Company's remaining refining assets and
specialty industrial products businesses in early 2001 will result in a
significant change in the components of the Company's inventory. The Company
will no longer purchase crude oil for refining and will not carry crude oil or
fuels in inventory. The remaining inventories will be base oils, lubricants and
consumer products.
CREDIT FACILITIES AND OTHER DEBT. Prior to December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker
State primarily used its commercial paper program to manage its cash flow needs.
During December 2000, the Company began using its revolving credit agreement in
place of the commercial paper program. Borrowings under commercial paper
facilities totaled $57.7 million at December 31, 2000. The average interest rate
applicable to outstanding commercial paper was 6.8% during 2000 and 5.6% during
1999.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with a group of banks that
provides for up to $450.0 million of committed unsecured revolving credit
borrowings through December 13, 2001, with any outstanding borrowings on such
date being converted into a term credit facility terminating on December 13,
2002. The revolving credit facility contains a covenant relating to net worth,
and the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2000. There were borrowings
of $195.0 million outstanding under this revolving credit facility at December
31, 2000 and no borrowings at December 31, 1999. The average interest rate
applicable to borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 7.5% during
2000.
The Company had a $50.0 million short-term variable-rate credit arrangement
with a bank at year-end 2000. Outstanding borrowings were zero at December 31,
2000 and $16.0 million at December 31, 1999. The bank offering this credit
arrangement does not have any obligation to continue to extend credit after the
maturities of outstanding borrowings or to extend the maturities of any
borrowings. The average interest rate on borrowings under short-term variable
rate credit facilities was 5.8% during 2000 and 5.3% during 1999.
In December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State issued $150.0 million of 8.65%
Notes due 2002. Net proceeds of $149.1 million were used to reduce the Company's
commercial paper borrowings. The terms of the notes provide that, in the event a
rating on Pennzoil-Quaker State's senior unsecured debt falls and remains below
investment grade, the coupon on the notes increases 0.75% to 9.4% and each
noteholder has the option, at any time on or after June 1, 2001, to require the
Company to purchase its note at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest. On March 2, 2001 Standard and Poor's lowered the
senior unsecured debt rating for the Company's debt below investment grade. The
notes are currently trading above 100% of face value plus accrued interest.
19
22
In connection with the issuance of $150.0 million of two-year fixed rate
notes in 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into a fixed to floating interest
rate swap to maintain its mix of variable rate versus fixed rate debt. The
Company designated the swap as a hedge. If the swap were terminated at December
29, 2000, the Company would have received $1.3 million from the swap
counterparty. Under SFAS No. 133, the swap is designated as a hedge of the
changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in the
market interest rates. Beginning January 1, 2001, the swap will be recognized at
its fair value as an asset or liability in the Company's balance sheet and is
marked to fair value through earnings. The interest-related changes in the
debt's fair value are recognized in earnings.
In March 1999, Pennzoil-Quaker State issued debt in the form of $200.0
million of 6 3/4% Notes due 2009 and $400.0 million of 7 3/8% Debentures due
2029. Net proceeds of $592.2 million from the Notes and Debentures were used to
reduce the Company's outstanding commercial paper borrowing and short-term
variable rate debt.
A Canadian subsidiary of the Company has a revolving credit facility with
two Canadian banks that provides for borrowings of up to US$18.0 million through
October 28, 2001, with any outstanding borrowings on such date being converted
into a term credit facility terminating on October 28, 2002. Outstanding
borrowings under the credit facility totaled US$13.3 million at December 31,
2000 and US$13.8 million at December 31, 1999. The average interest rates
applicable to amounts outstanding under the credit facility were 5.7% during
2000 and 4.9% during 1999.
During 2000, a U.K. subsidiary of the Company entered into a revolving
credit facility with a bank that provides for borrowings of up to US$20.9
million through July 26, 2002. Outstanding borrowings under the credit facility
totaled US$17.4 million at December 31, 2000. The average interest rate
applicable to amounts outstanding under the credit facility was 6.7% during
2000.
See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding the Company's indebtedness and credit facilities.
ASSET SALES. The Company has sold or entered into agreements to sell
certain assets during 2000 and 2001. The Company received net proceeds from
asset sales of $77 million in 2000, which were used to reduce indebtedness. The
Company expects to receive in excess of $100 million in net proceeds from asset
sales in 2001, which will be used to reduce indebtedness. See Note 5 and Note 14
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
CLASSIFICATION OF BORROWINGS UNDER CREDIT FACILITIES. Because the Company's
senior unsecured debt has been rated below investment grade by Standard &
Poor's, each holder of a 8.65% Note has the option, at any time on or after June
1, 2001, to require the Company to purchase its note at 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2000, $207.7
million of indebtedness under Pennzoil-Quaker State's commercial paper programs
and 8.65% Notes due in 2002 has been classified as long-term debt. Such debt
classification is based upon the availability of committed long-term credit
facilities to refinance such short-term obligations and the Company's intent to
maintain such commitments in excess of one year.
ENVIRONMENTAL. The Company is subject to certain laws and regulations
relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past
operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar
state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities,
accruals have been established when reasonable estimates are possible. Such
accruals primarily include estimated costs associated with remediation. The
Company has not used discounting in determining its accrued liabilities for
environmental remediation, and no claims for possible recovery from third-party
insurers or other parties related to environmental costs have been recognized in
the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company adjusts the
accruals when new remediation responsibilities are discovered and probable costs
become estimatable, or when current remediation estimates are adjusted to
reflect new information.
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are involved in matters in which it
has been alleged that such subsidiaries are potentially responsible parties
("PRPs") under CERCLA or similar state legislation with
20
23
respect to various waste disposal areas owned or operated by third parties. In
addition, certain of the Company's subsidiaries are involved in other
environmental remediation activities, including the removal, inspection and
replacement, as necessary, of underground storage tanks. The Company does not
currently believe there is a reasonable possibility of incurring additional
material costs in excess of the current accruals recognized for such
environmental remediation activities. With respect to the sites in which the
Company's subsidiaries are PRPs, the Company's conclusion is based in large part
on (i) the availability of defenses to liability, including the availability of
the "petroleum exclusion" under CERCLA and similar state laws, and/or (ii) the
Company's current belief that its share of wastes at a particular site is or
will be viewed by the Environmental Protection Agency or other PRPs as being de
minimis. As a result, Pennzoil-Quaker State's monetary exposure is not expected
to be material beyond the amounts reserved.
Accrued environmental liabilities are summarized as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Pennzoil-Quaker State Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries, as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. 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 did not audit the financial statements of Excel Paralubes (a
50%-owned equity investee of Pennzoil-Quaker State Company), the investment in
which is reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity
method of accounting. The Company's equity interest in the earnings of Excel
Paralubes was $18.9 million, $7.3 million and $14.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The summarized financial data
for Excel Paralubes contained in Note 3 are derived from the financial
statements of Excel Paralubes. The financial statements of Excel Paralubes were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included for Excel
Paralubes, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Pennzoil-Quaker State Company and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
As explained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has given retroactive effect to the change in accounting for certain
inventories from the last-in, first-out method to the average cost method.

PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SPIN-OFF FROM PENNZOIL COMPANY AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION --
Spin-off from Pennzoil Company --
On December 30, 1998, Pennzoil Company distributed (the "Spin-off") to its
stockholders 47.8 million shares of common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company ("Pennzoil-Quaker State" or the "Company")
representing all of the shares of the Company owned by Pennzoil Company, which
was acquired by Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon") in a separate transaction on
August 17, 1999.
Principles of Consolidation --
Pennzoil-Quaker State is engaged primarily in the manufacturing and
marketing of lubricants, car care products, base oils and specialty industrial
products and in the franchising, ownership and operation of fast lube centers.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical costs
and results of operations of Pennzoil-Quaker State, including all majority-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions within Pennzoil-Quaker State have been eliminated. Pennzoil-Quaker
State follows the equity method of accounting for investments in 20% to 50%
owned entities.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES --
General Policies --
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain
prior period items have been reclassified in the consolidated financial
statements in order to conform with the current year presentation.
Receivables --
Current receivables include trade accounts and notes receivable and are net
of allowances for doubtful accounts of $23.9 million and $18.8 million as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Long-term receivables consist of notes
receivable and are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.8 million and
$1.0 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, current receivables included notes
receivable of $15.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Other assets
included long-term notes receivable of $36.3 million at December 31, 2000 and
$36.0 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company's net accounts receivable sold under its receivables sales
facility totaled $149.1 million at December 31, 2000 and $153.1 million at
December 31, 1999. The accounts receivable are sold to a third party through the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Pennzoil Receivables Company ("PRC"). PRC is
a special limited purpose corporation and its assets are available solely to
satisfy the claims of its own creditors and not those of Pennzoil-Quaker State
or its affiliates. The receivable sales facility provides for ongoing sales of
up to $170.0 million of accounts receivable. The facility expires in August
2001, and the Company is currently in the process of extending the facility for
an additional year.
The Company maintains a lube center receivable purchase and sale agreement,
which provides for the sale of certain notes receivable up to $275.0 million to
third parties through a wholly owned subsidiary, Pennzoil Lube Center Acceptance
Corporation ("PLCAC"). The program is used to assist purchasers of the Company's
lubricants in obtaining favorable financing. The lubricants customers are the
primary obligors on these long-term loans. The cumulative sales amount was
increased in June 2000 from $220.0 million to $275.0 million. The assets of
PLCAC are available solely to satisfy the claims of its own creditors and not
F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
those of Pennzoil-Quaker State or its affiliates. The agreement terminates on
March 13, 2004 or on the date on which the aggregate purchase price reaches
$275.0 million. The Company's notes receivable sold under the agreement totaled
$159.0 million and $153.2 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Inventories --
In 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State changed its method of accounting for certain
inventories, including base oils, lubricants, polishes, waxes and air fresheners
from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost method.
Consequently, all of the Company's inventories are now stated at average cost.
Management believes that this change will more accurately measure operating
results for its continuing operations by recognizing raw material price
fluctuations as they occur on a moving average basis, reduce the cost of sales
volatility that would be caused by pending inventory liquidations and adjust
inventory balances to amounts that more closely reflect the inventories' current
cost. In addition, the average cost method is the predominant method used in the
consumer products industry.
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting
Changes", prior period financial statements have been restated to reflect this
accounting change. The accounting change increased net income from continuing
operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 by $3.3 million or $.04 per
diluted share, increased net income from continuing operations for the year
ended December 31, 1999 by $3.1 million or $.04 per diluted share and decreased
net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 by
$2.1 million or $.04 per diluted share.
Inventory components are summarized as follows:
2000 1999
-------- --------
(IN THOUSANDS)
Finished goods and work in process.......................... $130,646 $153,811
Raw materials and supplies.................................. 38,331 43,267

Total............................................. $168,977 $197,078
======== ========
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization --
Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation
of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line or
accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 20 years.
Pennzoil-Quaker State capitalizes the interest cost associated with major
construction projects based on the effective interest rate on aggregate
borrowings. No interest was capitalized in 2000 or 1999. Interest capitalized in
1998 was $0.3 million.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets --
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of" requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever there is
evidence that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This
consists of comparing the carrying amount of the asset with its expected future
undiscounted cash flows without interest costs. If the asset carrying amount is
less than such cash flow estimate, it is written down to its fair value.
Estimates of expected future cash flows are to represent management's best
estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment
recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 121 is permanent and may not be restored.
Due principally to the incurrence of operating losses at certain Jiffy Lube
company-operated stores, an impairment totaling $29.6 million was recorded in
depreciation and amortization expense with respect to such stores during 1998.
Charges Related to Asset Disposals --
SFAS No. 121 also requires that assets to be disposed of be reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. During 1999, the
Company completed a strategic review of its assets including blending and
packaging plants. The Company recorded pretax charges of $10.0 million in 2000
and $13.9 million in 1999, respectively, to reflect the pending sales of two of
the Company's other blending and packaging plants in 2001 and the impairment of
its Rouseville blending and packaging plant related to its closure. The assets
and results of operations related to the blending and packaging plants are
included in the Lubricants and Consumer Products segment.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets --
Total goodwill as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $729.6 million and
$687.4 million, respectively. Tradenames totaled $409.6 million and $420.6
million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Goodwill and tradenames
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from twenty to
forty years. The Company continually evaluates whether later events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of
goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of goodwill may not
be recoverable. Amortization expense recorded in 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $39.7
million, $42.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $146.4 million and $119.7 million,
respectively.
Restructuring Charges --
In 2000, the Company recorded a $22.9 million charge to accrue the costs
associated with a general and administrative cost reduction effort. The charge
related to each operating segment as follows: Lubricants and Consumer
Products -- $11.0 million; Jiffy Lube -- $1.0 million; Other -- $10.9 million.
The restructuring is expected to be completed in 2001. The Company has reduced
the number of employees and consolidated office space in order to reduce general
and administrative expenses. These charges primarily included severance for
approximately 400 administrative and operational employees, the accrual of
future lease obligations and restoration costs of office space in Houston. Also
included in the charge was the write-off of obsolete information technology
assets. The severance payments for the former employees are expected to be paid
out over a minimum period of two months and a maximum period of up to two years.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately 400 employees had been
terminated as a result of workforce reductions pursuant to the general and
administrative cost reduction plan. The accrued liability balance was reduced by
$4.4 million through December 31, 2000 as a result of the severance expenses
paid, and the remaining accrual at December 31, 2000 totaled $13.8 million.

Advertising Costs --
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $159.2
million, $162.2 million and $114.3 million for the years ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Allocated General and Administrative Expenses --
Prior to the Spin-off, Pennzoil Company charged Pennzoil-Quaker State for
all direct and indirect administrative costs associated with its operations
through a monthly charge that allocated indirect costs on a formula that
considered the total assets, sales and employees of Pennzoil-Quaker State.
Pennzoil Company and Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into an arrangement to share
certain services for a period of up to one year following the Spin-off. Costs of
these services were shared by each company accordingly. The cost sharing
arrangement terminated on December 31, 1999.
Environmental Expenditures --
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Liabilities for these expenditures are
recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts
can be reasonably estimated. Reference is made to Note 7 for a discussion of
amounts recorded for these liabilities.
Cash Flow Information --
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to
be cash equivalents. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash
balances has been immaterial.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities consist of the following:

Earnings Per Share --
Pennzoil-Quaker State computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic
earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding, while diluted earnings per share also reflects the impact of
potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options. Computations for
basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended 2000, 1999 and 1998 follow:

- ---------------
(1) A weighted average year-to-date number of options to purchase 6,932,667
shares of common stock were outstanding during 2000, but were not included
in the computation of diluted per share income from continuing operations
because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of common shares. Options to purchase 6,708,023 and 3,409,474 shares
of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per
share because the impact of these options was antidilutive. Conditional
stock awards of 270,356 and 137,636 were outstanding at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted
loss per share because the impact of these awards was antidilutive.
Foreign Sourced Operations --
Pennzoil-Quaker State's international operating results include foreign
sourced income (loss) of $(12.1) million, $9.0 million and $0.3 million in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively, in income (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes. The financial statements of certain foreign entities are prepared
from records maintained in the country of which the entity is located.
Foreign Currency Translation --
For subsidiaries whose functional currency is deemed to be other than the
U.S. dollar, asset and liability accounts are translated at year-end exchange
rates and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates
prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are included as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. Any gains or losses on transactions or
monetary assets or liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency
are included in net loss in the current period.
Comprehensive Income --
For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, unrealized holding
gains (losses) on marketable securities includes income tax expense (benefit) of
($1.3) million, ($1.2) million and $0.5 million, respectively. No tax benefit
associated with foreign currency translation losses or gains has been recorded
for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
Costs of Start-Up Activities --
Effective January 1, 1999, Pennzoil-Quaker State adopted Statement of
Position ("SOP") No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,"
which required costs of start-up activities to be expensed as
F-11

PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
incurred. The adoption of this SOP was not material to the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements --
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 133, subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138, establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in
the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.
The statement requires that changes in the derivative instrument's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative instrument's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company formally document, designate, and assess
the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The Company
adopted this statement on January 1, 2001.
SFAS No. 133 requires that the effective portion of the gain or loss on a
derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a fair value hedge of a
fixed-rate liability be offset by the related results on the hedged item in the
income statement. Based on the Company's assessment of its interest-rate swap
derivative contract, the transition adjustment required at adoption of SFAS No.
133 will require the Company to record a derivative asset of approximately $1.3
million, representing the fair market value on that date, and recognize $1.3
million in income as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Effective October 1, 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State adopted Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition", which provides guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The
adoption of SAB No. 101 was not material to the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
Effective October 1, 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State adopted Emerging Issues
Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and
Costs", which provides guidance on the classification of amounts billed to a
customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling. The adoption of
EITF No. 00-10 was not material to the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
Effective October 1, 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State adopted EITF No. 00-14,
"Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives", which provides guidance on the
recognition, measurement and income statement classification for sales
incentives offered to customers that can be used in, or that are exercisable by
a customer as a result of, a single transaction. The adoption of EITF No. 00-14
was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
(3) SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL DATA --
The Company and Conoco Inc. ("Conoco") are equal partners in Excel
Paralubes, which operates a state-of-the-art base oil processing facility
located adjacent to Conoco's refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The facility
is capable of producing 20,000 barrels per day of high-quality base oils, the
base ingredient in finished lubricants. Conoco operates the plant with support
positions staffed primarily by Conoco.
The Company's share of results from Excel Paralubes' operations are
included in the supply chain investments segment. Because of cumulative
distributions in excess of earnings, Pennzoil-Quaker State's net investment in
Excel Paralubes was carried as a credit balance of $71.6 million and $61.5
million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and is included in other
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Pennzoil-Quaker State's 2000,
1999 and 1998 equity in Excel Paralubes' pretax income of $18.9 million, $7.3
million and $14.7 million, respectively, is included in other income in the
consolidated statement of operations.

7.43% senior bonds due 2015, and $77.1 million of variable rate borrowings under
commercial paper facilities with banks. Semiannual principal payments related to
the 7.125% senior bonds and the 7.43% senior bonds are due beginning in 2001 and
2011, respectively. Borrowings under commercial paper facilities and $3.7
million in 7.125% senior bond principal payments are due in 2001 and are
classified as short-term. Recourse to the bondholders under the bond indenture
is limited to the revenues and assets of Excel Paralubes. Certain restrictive
covenants may limit the ability of Excel Paralubes to incur debt, make
distributions to the partners, make investments or create liens. Conoco and
Pennzoil-Quaker State maintain an agreement with Excel Paralubes to provide
support to Excel Paralubes up to an aggregate amount of $60.0 million should a
liquidity cash flow deficit occur.
(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES --
Acquisition of Quaker State --
On December 30, 1998, the Company acquired Quaker State Corporation
("Quaker State") in a merger transaction, and Quaker State became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, stockholders of
Quaker State received .8204 of a share of common stock of the Company in
exchange for each share of Quaker State capital stock previously owned. The
total purchase price, including acquisition-related costs and expenses, was
$812.1 million.
Acquisition-related expenses of $34.4 million, $75.1 million and $10.6
million were incurred during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These charges
were primarily the result of the consolidation and closure of certain facilities
and the resolutions of certain conflicts between Jiffy Lube and Q Lube
franchise-operated service centers. The Company does not expect to incur any
additional Quaker State acquisition-related expenses and there was no accrual
for such expenses remaining at December 31, 2000.

========== ==========
In December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State issued $150.0 million of 8.65%
Notes due 2002. Net proceeds of $149.1 million were used to reduce the Company's
commercial paper borrowings. The terms of the notes provide that, in the event a
rating on Pennzoil-Quaker State's senior unsecured debt falls and remains below
investment grade, the coupon on the notes increases 0.75% to 9.4% and each
noteholder has the option, at any time on or after June 1, 2001, to require the
Company to purchase its note at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest on or after June 1, 2001. On March 2, 2001 Standard
and Poor's lowered the senior unsecured debt rating for the Company's debt below
investment grade. The notes are currently trading above 100% of face value plus

On March 30, 1999, Pennzoil-Quaker State issued debt in the form of $200.0
million of 6 3/4% Notes due April 1, 2009 and $400.0 million of 7 3/8%
Debentures due April 1, 2029. Net proceeds of $592.2 million from the Notes and
Debentures were used to reduce the Company's outstanding commercial paper
borrowings and variable rate debt.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with a group of banks that
provides for up to $450.0 million of committed unsecured revolving credit
borrowings through December 13, 2001, with any outstanding borrowings on such
date being converted into a term credit facility terminating on December 13,
2002. The revolving credit facility contains a covenant relating to net worth,
and the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2000. Outstanding
borrowings under Pennzoil-Quaker State's revolving credit facility totaled
$195.0 million at December 31, 2000. The average interest rate applicable to
borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 7.5%. There were no
borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility at December 31,
1999.
Borrowings under commercial paper facilities totaled $57.7 million at
December 31, 2000 and $242.6 million at December 31, 1999. The average interest
rate applicable to outstanding commercial paper was 6.8% during 2000 and 5.6%
during 1999.
The Company had a $50.0 million short-term variable-rate credit arrangement
with a bank at year-end 2000. Outstanding borrowings were zero at December 31,
2000 and $16.0 million at December 31, 1999. The

bank offering this credit arrangement does not have any obligation to continue
to extend credit after the maturities of outstanding borrowings or to extend the
maturities of any borrowings. The average interest rate on borrowings under
short-term variable rate credit facilities was 5.8% during 2000 and 5.3% during
1999.
A Canadian subsidiary of the Company has a revolving credit facility with
two Canadian banks that provides for borrowings of up to US$18.0 million through
October 28, 2001, with any outstanding borrowings on such date being converted
into a term credit facility terminating on October 28, 2002. Outstanding
borrowings under the credit facility totaled US$13.3 million at December 31,
2000 and US$13.8 million at December 31, 1999. The average interest rate
applicable to amounts outstanding under the credit facility were 5.7% during
2000 and 4.9% during 1999.
During 2000, a U.K. subsidiary of the Company entered into a revolving
credit facility with a bank that provides for borrowings up to US $20.9 million
through July 26, 2002. Outstanding borrowings under the credit facility totaled
US$17.4 million at December 31, 2000. The average interest rate applicable to
amounts outstanding under the facility was 6.7% during 2000.
The Company has a total of $50.5 million, net of discount, in pollution
control bonds issued by three authorities. Issuances by the Industrial
Development Board of the Parish of Caddo, Inc. include $24.6 million issued
December 23, 1996, $8.5 million issued December 19, 1997 and $11.8 million, net
of discount, issued December 22, 1998. The three issuances are scheduled for
retirement on December 1, 2026, December 1, 2027 and December 1, 2028,
respectively. Proceeds from the bonds were used to help fund pollution control
facilities in Louisiana. The interest rates for the bonds issued in 1996 and
1997 are currently reset weekly and interest is paid monthly. The interest rate
is fixed at 5.6% for the bonds issued in 1998 and interest is paid
semi-annually. Issuances by the Venango Industrial Development Authority and the
Butler County Industrial Development Authority of $3.4 million and $2.3 million,
respectively, were issued on December 21, 1982 and are scheduled for retirement
on December 1, 2012. The interest rate on both bond issuances is currently reset
weekly and interest is paid monthly. Proceeds from the issuances were used to
help fund pollution control facilities in Pennsylvania.
Because the Company's senior unsecured debt has been rated below investment
grade by Standard and Poor's, each holder of a 8.65% Note has the option, at any
time on or after June 1, 2001, to require the Company to purchase its note at
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of
December 31, 2000, $207.7 million of indebtedness under Pennzoil-Quaker State's
commercial paper programs and 8.65% Notes due in 2002 has been classified as
long-term debt. Such debt classification is based upon the availability of
committed long-term credit facilities to refinance such short-term obligations
and the Company's intent to maintain such commitments in excess of one year.
At December 31, 2000, aggregated maturities of long-term debt for the years
ending December 31, 2001 through 2005 were $13.8 million, $442.6 million, $0.3
million, $0.3 million and $100.1 million, respectively.
(6) INCOME TAXES --
Accounting for Income Taxes --
Pennzoil-Quaker State accounts for income taxes under the provisions of
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires recognition
of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

Prior to the 1999 tax year, Pennzoil-Quaker State was included in Pennzoil
Company's U.S. consolidated income tax returns and was a participant in Pennzoil
Company's intercompany tax sharing agreement. The 1998 income tax benefit
includes a favorable adjustment of $9.7 million to reflect the apportionment of
tax attributes formerly shared with Pennzoil Company.
In connection with the Spin-off, Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into a tax
separation agreement with Pennzoil Company which provides, among other things,
that (1) Pennzoil-Quaker State will be responsible for and indemnify Pennzoil
Company against all taxes that are attributable to certain inventory
adjustments, (2) Pennzoil Company will be responsible for and indemnify
Pennzoil-Quaker State against any other consolidated federal or state income tax
liability for periods ended on or before the date of the Spin-off, (3) any other
taxes will be borne by the party on whom such taxes are imposed by law. The
rights and obligations of Pennzoil Company under this agreement were assumed by
Devon in its August 1999 acquisition of Pennzoil Company. The agreement also
establishes procedures for the conduct and settlement of certain tax audits and
related proceedings. Pennzoil-Quaker State and Quaker State filed separate tax
returns for the 1998 tax year. Pennzoil-Quaker State filed a consolidated tax
return beginning with the 1999 tax year.
At December 30, 1998, Pennzoil-Quaker State estimated certain net deferred
tax assets associated with the spun-off assets and liabilities and the
allocation of certain tax attributes associated with the tax separation
agreement. Those net deferred tax assets were considered in calculating the
capital contribution of $412.4 million made by Pennzoil Company to the Company
as part of the Spin-off. In 1999, Pennzoil-Quaker State adjusted its deferred
tax asset in connection with the allocation of deferred tax assets and
liabilities from Pennzoil Company. The adjustments related primarily to the
finalization of estimates made in 1998 of the allocations of net operating
losses, alternative minimum tax credits and deferred tax liabilities created in
foreign subsidiaries. As a result of these adjustments to tax attributes related
to the spun-off assets and liabilities, the Company decreased its net deferred
tax asset and adjusted the capital contribution related to the Spin-off by $31.4
million in 1999.
As of December 31, 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State had a United States net
operating loss carryforward of approximately $327.7 million, which is available
to reduce future federal income taxes payable. Additionally, for the purposes of
determining alternative minimum tax, an approximate $286.2 million net operating
loss is available to offset future alternative minimum taxable income. If not
used, these carryovers will expire in years 2018 and 2020. In addition,
Pennzoil-Quaker State also has a separate return limitation loss of $4.0 million
and an approximate $2.6 million net operating loss which is available to offset
alternative minimum taxable income. Utilization of the separate return net
operating losses, to the extent generated in separate return years, is limited
based on the separate taxable income of the subsidiary, or its successor,
generating the loss. If not used, these carryovers will expire in the years 2001
to 2006. A valuation allowance of approximately
F-18

PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
$1.4 million has been established to offset the portion of the deferred tax
asset related to the separate return limitation losses expected to expire before
their utilization. In addition, Pennzoil-Quaker State has approximately $17.0
million of alternative minimum tax credits indefinitely available to reduce
regular tax liability to the extent it exceeds the related alternative minimum
tax otherwise due. All net operating loss and credit carryover amounts are
subject to examination by tax authorities.
Pennzoil-Quaker State also had state net operating loss carryforwards, the
tax effect of which was approximately $53.1 million as of December 31, 2000. A
valuation allowance of approximately $14.6 million has been established to
offset the portion of this deferred tax asset related to state tax loss
carryforwards expected to expire before their utilization.
(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES --
Environmental Matters --
The operations of the Company in the United States are subject to numerous
federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of
materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment and human health and safety.
The Company is subject to a variety of state and federal Clean Air Act
rules requiring air emission reductions from its operating units and products.
Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Ozone Transport
Assessment Group ("OTAG"), Ozone Transport Region ("OTR") and several states are
examining new standards and/or controls which could impose significant costs on
the Company. The EPA has recently adopted new, more stringent national ambient
air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, which would designate
many more areas of the country as high pollution areas subject to additional
regulatory controls, including possible fuel specification requirements.
However, litigation over the new standards has rendered their implementation
uncertain. The multi-state OTAG and OTR groups are developing lists of suggested
controls to limit interstate ozone transport. The precise effect of these
actions on the Company and other industrial companies is uncertain because most
of the requirements will be implemented through EPA regulations to be issued
over a period of years. However, current estimates indicate that expenditures
associated with the installation of such equipment would not have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations.
Pennzoil-Quaker State is subject to certain laws and regulations relating
to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar state
statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, accruals
have been established when reasonable estimates are possible. Such accruals
primarily include estimated costs associated with remediation. Pennzoil-Quaker
State has not used discounting in determining its accrued liabilities for
environmental remediation, and no claims for possible recovery from third party
insurers or other parties related to environmental costs have been recognized in
Pennzoil-Quaker State's consolidated financial statements. Pennzoil-Quaker State
adjusts the accruals when new remediation responsibilities are discovered and
probable costs become estimable, or when current remediation estimates are
adjusted to reflect new information.
The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental
laws is subject to uncertainty due to the difficult process of estimating
remediation costs that are subject to ongoing and evolving change. Initial
estimates of remediation costs reflect a broad-based analysis of site conditions
and potential environmental and human health impacts derived from preliminary
site investigations (including soil and water analysis, migration pathways and
potential risk). Later changes in these initial estimates may be based on
additional site investigations, completion of feasibility studies (comparing and
selecting from among various remediation methods and technologies) and risk
assessments (determining the degree of current and future risk to the
environment and human health, based on current scientific and regulatory
criteria) and the
F-19
48
PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
actual implementation of the remediation plan. This process occurs over
relatively long periods of time and is influenced by regulatory and community
approval processes and is subject to the ongoing development of remediation
technologies. The Company's assessment analysis takes into account the condition
of each site at the time of estimation, the degree of uncertainty surrounding
the estimates for each phase of remediation and other site-specific factors.
Certain of Pennzoil-Quaker State's subsidiaries are involved in matters in
which it has been alleged that such subsidiaries are potentially responsible
parties ("PRPs") under CERCLA or similar state legislation with respect to
various waste disposal areas owned or operated by third parties. In addition,
certain of Pennzoil-Quaker State's subsidiaries are involved in other
environmental remediation activities, including the removal, inspection and
replacement, as necessary, of underground storage tanks. Pennzoil-Quaker State
does not currently believe there is a reasonable possibility of incurring
additional material costs in excess of the current accruals recognized for such
environmental remediation activities. With respect to the sites in which
Pennzoil-Quaker State subsidiaries are PRPs, Pennzoil-Quaker State's conclusion
is based in large part on (i) the availability of defenses to liability,
including the availability of the "petroleum exclusion" under CERCLA and similar
state laws, and/or (ii) Pennzoil-Quaker State's current belief that its share of
wastes at a particular site is or will be viewed by the EPA or other PRPs as
being de minimis. As a result, Pennzoil-Quaker State's monetary exposure is not
expected to be material beyond the amounts reserved.
Accrued environmental liabilities are summarized as follows:

From January 1998 through December 2000, capital outlays of approximately
$2.0 million have been made by the Company with respect to environmental
protection. There are no capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities currently expected in 2001.
Blue Coral --
In May 1997, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of a class of persons who
purchased wax, polish or protectant products sold by a number of defendants. The
action names as defendants a number of car wax manufacturers including Blue
Coral, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company and certain of its present and former
officers. The complaint alleges that the defendants falsely advertised and
marketed such products and seeks treble damages, attorneys' fees and costs for
the class for alleged violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act and compensatory damages for alleged violations of the Ohio
Consumer Sales Practices Act as well as for breach

PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
of express warranty. On January 5, 1999, the court certified a nationwide class
consisting of all persons who purchased products marketed, produced or
distributed as "car wax" by the defendants. While no class period has been
specified by the court, the plaintiffs are seeking a class period dating back
four years prior to the filing of the action. On February 2, 1999, the
plaintiffs proposed a joint settlement fund equal to ten percent of each
defendant's 1997 gross revenue from the products. The Company is contesting this
action vigorously.
IQ Products --
A lawsuit filed in June 1998 by IQ Products Company in United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, claims Snap
Products, Inc. and the Company, which purchased certain Snap Products, Inc.
assets in 1997, violated the Lanham Act in connection with the manufacture and
sale of Fix-a-Flat(R) tire sealant and inflator. The plaintiff claims that Snap
Products and the Company (i) should have labeled the product as "flammable," as
allegedly required by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, and (ii) falsely
advertised and labeled the product as containing a "non-explosive formula."
Plaintiff's complaint seeks unspecified damages. In January 2001, the plaintiff
filed a second lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, claiming that the Company
has violated federal and Texas antitrust law in marketing its tire inflation and
sealer products. The plaintiff seeks unspecified actual and trebled damages,
attorneys' fees and interest. The Company is contesting this action vigorously.
California Scents --
In January 2000, a lawsuit styled California Scents, Inc. v. Medo
Industries, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California. The plaintiff alleges that it is engaged in the
manufacture and sale of automotive air freshener in the United States and that
the defendant, Medo Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has
monopolized and attempted to monopolize that business in violation of federal
antitrust laws. The plaintiff also alleges that the defendant has, in violation
of California state law, tortiously interfered with the plaintiff's prospective
business relationships and engaged in unfair business practices. The plaintiff
claims that the defendant's alleged actions have caused the plaintiff to suffer
actual damages of $16.0 million, plus $4.0 million per year for an unspecified
number of years into the future. The plaintiff seeks trebled damages, punitive
damages, restitution with respect to its claim of unfair business practices and
injunctive relief. The Company is contesting this action vigorously.
Other --
The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits, primarily in Louisiana and
West Virginia, involving asbestos and asbestos-containing products. The
plaintiffs generally allege exposure to asbestos and asbestos-containing
products while working on the premises of the premises defendants and strict
liability and negligence actions against the premises' defendants, including the
Company. In addition, the plaintiffs generally allege that asbestos-containing
products sold, distributed and supplied by the other defendants in the lawsuits
were defective and unreasonably dangerous and that those defendants were thus
negligent in failing to warn the plaintiffs of these dangers. The Company is
contesting these actions vigorously.
Pennzoil-Quaker State and its subsidiaries are also involved in various
other claims, lawsuits and other proceedings relating to a wide variety of
matters. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of all claims,
lawsuits and other proceedings and it is presently impossible to determine the
actual costs that ultimately may be incurred, management currently believes that
the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs should not
have a material adverse effect on Pennzoil-Quaker State's financial position or
results of operations. It is possible, however, that charges could be required
that would be significant to the operating results of a particular period.

(8) BENEFIT PLANS --
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits --
Substantially all Pennzoil-Quaker State employees are covered by
non-contributory defined benefit pension plans which provide benefits based on
the participants' years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each
year of service. Contributions to the plans are made in accordance with the
minimum funding provisions of ERISA where applicable, but not in excess of the
maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
In addition, Pennzoil-Quaker State sponsors unfunded defined benefit
postretirement plans that cover substantially all of its employees. The plans
provide medical and life insurance benefits and are, depending on the type of
plan, either contributory or non-contributory. The accounting for the health
care plans anticipates future cost-sharing changes that are consistent with
Pennzoil-Quaker State's expressed intent to increase, where possible,
contributions from future retirees to a minimum of 30% of the total annual cost.
Furthermore, future contributions for both current and future retirees have been
limited, where possible, to 200% of the average 1992 benefit cost.
The following table presents the Pennzoil-Quaker State plans' benefit
obligations, plan assets, reconciliation of funded status, amounts recognized in
the consolidated balance sheets, components of net periodic benefit cost, and

Conditional Stock Awards --
In 2000, there were 331,284 units of common stock granted under conditional
stock award programs. Awards under the programs are made in the form of units
which entitle the recipient to receive, at the end of a specified period,
subject to certain conditions of continued employment, a number of shares of
Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock equal to the number of units granted. At
December 31, 2000, units covering 541,091 shares of Pennzoil-Quaker State common
stock were outstanding (compared to 270,356 shares at December 31, 1999). In
2000, no shares of Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock were distributed to
employees upon maturity of awards previously granted under Pennzoil-Quaker
State's conditional stock award programs, and units covering 60,549 shares of
Pennzoil-Quaker State's common stock granted in previous years lapsed.
As of December 31, 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State had 1,368,403 shares which
remained available for granting of stock options and 305,825 shares which
remained available for granting of stock options and/or conditional stock
awards.
Pennzoil-Quaker State applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. APB Opinion 25 does not
require compensation expense to be recorded on options which have exercise
prices at least equal to the market price of the stock on the date of grant.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has
F-25
54
PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
been recognized for Pennzoil-Quaker State's stock-based plans. Had compensation
expense for Pennzoil-Quaker State's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those
plans consistent with the optional accounting method prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," Pennzoil-Quaker State's net loss and
loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
2000 1999 1998
-------- --------- --------
(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS
EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Net loss............................... As reported $(86,174) $(311,143) $(64,511)

Basic and diluted loss per share....... As reported $ (1.10) $ (4.00) $ (1.34)
Pro forma $ (1.18) $ (4.15) $ (1.46)
The fair value calculated under SFAS No. 123 of each option grant was
estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model with the
following assumptions for 2000: risk-free interest rate of 6.8%; dividend yield
of 5.47%; stock price volatility factor of .3758; and 10-year option term. Most
compensation practitioners believe the binomial method is more accurate than the
Black-Scholes model when valuing stock options on high dividend yield stock. The
binomial model is based on the premise that executives will exercise stock
options at an optimal time, considering share price changes and dividend
payments. As such, the binomial model allows for executives holding high
dividend yield stock options to exercise the options before the stock option
term expires and receive a larger expected benefit from the high dividend
payouts on the underlying shares. Pennzoil-Quaker State's dividend yield is high
enough to warrant using the binomial option-pricing model. The fair value
calculated under SFAS No. 123 of each option grant was estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.84% to 6.36% for 1999 and
6.25% for 1998; dividend yield of 2.29% for 1999 and 3.07% for 1998; stock price
volatility factor of .2880 for 1999 and .2891 for 1998; and 7-year option term
for 1999 and 1998. The weighted average fair value of options granted during
2000, 1999 and 1998 was $2.93, $4.79 and $12.46, per option, respectively.
(10) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK --
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk --
Pennzoil-Quaker State is a party to various financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk as part of its normal course of business, including
financial guarantees and contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees,
credit and other assistance to customers, franchisees and other third parties.
These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk
which are not recognized in Pennzoil-Quaker State's consolidated balance sheet.
Contractual commitments to extend credit and other assistance are in effect
as long as certain conditions established in the respective contracts are met.
Contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees are conditioned on the
occurrence of specified events.

guarantees and contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees, credit
and other assistance as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.

======== =======
Pennzoil-Quaker State's exposure to credit losses in the event of
nonperformance by the other parties to these financial instruments is
represented by the contractual or notional amounts. Decisions to extend
financial guarantees and commitments and the amount of remuneration and
collateral required are based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparties on a case-by-case basis. The collateral held varies but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real property, securities and
personal assets. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements.
The Company guarantees bank loans to certain customers and franchisees.
This guaranteed loan program will terminate on December 31, 2001 at which time
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company will be required to purchase the loans from the
bank. The Company intends to replace the program and place the loans with
another financial institution prior to December 31, 2001. Outstandings at
December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were $14.7 million and $13.9 million,
respectively.
Use of Derivatives --
In 1998, the Company entered into four interest rate locks, based upon the
30-year Treasury rate, to lock in interest rates for future issuances of
long-term indebtedness. The hedge contracts matured in March 1999 when the
Company issued $400.0 million of 30-year debentures. The total loss of $2.1
million on the interest rate hedges was treated as an adjustment to the issue
price of the debentures, effectively creating a discount that is being amortized
over the life of the borrowings.
In connection with the issuance of $150.0 million of two-year fixed rate
notes in December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into a fixed to floating
interest rate swap to maintain its mix of variable rate versus fixed rate debt.
The Company designated the swap as a fair value hedge. If the swap were
terminated at December 29, 2000, the Company would have received $1.3 million
from the swap counterparty.
Concentrations of Credit Risk --
Pennzoil-Quaker State extends credit to various companies in the lubricants
and consumer products and fast lube operations industries in the normal course
of business. Within these industries, certain concentrations of credit risk
exist. These concentrations of credit risk may be similarly affected by changes
in economic or other conditions and may, accordingly, impact Pennzoil-Quaker
State's overall credit risk. However, management believes that Pennzoil-Quaker
State's receivables are well diversified, thereby reducing potential credit risk
to Pennzoil-Quaker State, and that allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate
to absorb
F-27
56
PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
estimated losses as of December 31, 2000. Pennzoil-Quaker State's policies
concerning collateral requirements and the types of collateral obtained for
on-balance-sheet financial instruments are the same as those described above
under "Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk."
As of December 31, 2000, receivables related to group concentration in the
lubricants and consumer products and Jiffy Lube segments were $317.5 million and
$26.4 million, respectively, compared with $289.7 million and $27.5 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1999. The Company's net accounts receivable sold
under its receivables sales facility totaled $149.1 million and $153.1 million
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. See Note 2 for further
information.
(11) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS --
Balance Sheet Financial Instruments --
The carrying amounts of Pennzoil-Quaker State's short-term financial
instruments, including cash equivalents, other investments, trade accounts
receivable, trade accounts payable and notes payable, approximate their fair
values based on the short maturities of those instruments.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair
values of Pennzoil-Quaker State's other balance sheet financial instruments.

Debt.......................................... 1,208,211 1,059,420 1,036,862 946,943
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument included above:
Notes Receivable. The estimated fair value of notes receivable is
based on discounting future cash flows using estimated year-end interest
rates at which similar loans have been made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings for the same remaining maturities.
Debt. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted
market prices or, where such prices are not available, on estimated
year-end interest rates of debt with the same remaining average maturities
and credit quality.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments --
The estimated fair value of certain financial guarantees written and
commitments to extend financial guarantees was $16.1 million and $14.5 million
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The estimated fair value of
certain financial guarantees written and commitments to extend financial
guarantees is based on the estimated cost to Pennzoil-Quaker State to obtain
third party letters of credit to relieve Pennzoil-Quaker State of its
obligations under such guarantees or, in the case of certain lease guarantees
related to Jiffy Lube franchisees, the present value of expected future cash
flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.
The estimated value of amounts owed to Pennzoil-Quaker State under its open
interest rate swap was $1.3 million as of December 31, 2000. The estimated value
is the amount Pennzoil-Quaker State would receive to terminate its hedge
agreement, taking into account the creditworthiness of hedge counterparties.

(12) LEASES --
As Lessee --
Pennzoil-Quaker State leases various assets and office space with lease
periods of one to 20 years. Additionally, Pennzoil-Quaker State leases sites and
equipment which are subleased to franchisees or used in the operation of
automotive fast lubrication and fluid maintenance service centers operated by
Pennzoil-Quaker State. The typical lease period for the service centers is 20
years with escalation clauses generally increasing the lease payments by 9%
every third year, with some leases containing renewal options generally for
periods of five years. These leases, excluding leases for land that are
classified as operating leases, are accounted for as capital leases and are
capitalized using interest rates appropriate at the inception of each lease.
Certain operating and capital lease payments are contingent upon such
factors as the consumer price index or the prime interest rate with any future
changes reflected in income as accruable. The effects of these changes are not
considered material.
Total operating lease rental expenses for Pennzoil-Quaker State were $81.2
million, $79.8 million and $50.4 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Interest expense related to Pennzoil-Quaker State's capital lease obligations
was $7.8 million, $9.0 million and $8.3 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998,

As Lessor --
Pennzoil-Quaker State owns or leases numerous service center sites which
are leased or subleased to franchisees. Buildings owned or leased that meet the
criteria for direct financing leases are carried at the gross investment in the
lease less unearned income. Unearned income is recognized in such a manner as to
produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the direct
financing lease. Any buildings leased or

subleased that do not meet the criteria for a direct financing lease and any
land leased or subleased are accounted for as operating leases. The typical
lease period is 20 years and some leases contain renewal options. The franchisee
is responsible for the payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance
costs related to the leased property. The net investment in direct financing
leases is classified as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.

(14) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2000, the Company ceased processing crude oil at its
Rouseville, Pennsylvania refinery. In April 2000, the Company sold the wax
processing facilities and related assets at the Rouseville refinery and its
interest in the Bareco wax marketing partnership to Calumet Lubricants Company
LP ("Calumet"). In January 2001, the Company sold its share of Penreco, a
specialty industrial products partnership with Conoco. In January 2001, the
Company announced that it was completing its exit from the refining business by
entering into a letter of intent with Calumet for the sale of the Company's
Shreveport, Louisiana refinery. Accordingly, the net assets and results of
operations of the Company's refining assets and specialty industrial products
businesses, including the Shreveport and Rouseville refineries and the Penreco
partnership, have been combined and reported as discontinued operations in the
accompanying financial statements. In connection with the pending Shreveport
refinery disposition, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $138.1 million
related to asset impairments and liabilities incurred, including environmental,
contract buyouts, severance and other costs. In addition to liabilities incurred
in connection with the pending sale, net assets of discontinued operations
primarily include accounts receivable, inventory and the Company's investment in
