MR. DUNHAM:

I think the combination of Conoco and Phillips has always made sense from a
historic and a strategic perspective. So, Jim and I are really pleased this
morning that you could join us as we announce the creation of a new
international major, ConocoPhillips.

As all of you know, during the last few years, both companies have pursued
similar growth objectives, with Phillips' acquisition of ARCO Alaska and
Tosco; and Conoco's acquisition of Gulf Canada. And in the new ConocoPhillips,
we are absolutely convinced that we have created a company with tremendous
potential, and we're confident that we're going to be able to quickly and
successfully integrate the two companies. We share common histories,
strategies, core values, outlooks for the future. And I'm confident that we
have the right strategy, the right structure, the great management team in
place to propel ConocoPhillips to the next level of performance.

Now, the lawyers in the group have told me that we need to show you this Safe
Harbor Statement. So here it is; you can read it.

This morning I plan to briefly discuss the strategic rationale for combining our
two companies, summarize the transaction and then ask Jim to discuss the details
of why this is such an outstanding merger of equals, and how we're going to
create significant shareholder value.

Now, why are we doing this? Jim and I agree that the combination of Conoco and
Phillips will create a new international major; with, as we will describe, the
potential to not only provide a significant enhancement in our returns, but
has a tremendous portfolio of growth opportunities which we believe will be
superior to our competitors.

Now, the key to making this a successful transaction will be the application
of our complementary core capabilities and a strong management team with a
combined asset base. We believe this combination will deliver attractive
returns and high-quality growth. With the cost synergies I'm confident we'll
achieve, we will be stronger in any commodity price environment; and, we
believe we will have the balance sheet and capability to fully realize our
potential and create significant shareholder value.








Now, what does the combined company look like? The more we study the
combination, the stronger our conviction that our assets are a tremendous fit
worldwide. We're excited about the quality of the combined portfolio and the
potential efficiencies available to ConocoPhillips. And upstream, we will become
significantly larger in each of the core areas where we operate today; and we'll
have a much higher probability of creating additional core areas in the next few
years. Together, we have numerous legacy assets across the lifecycle: from those
currently producing to those under development. These include Alaska, the lower
48, the North Sea, Canada, Petrozuata Hamaca in Venezuela, and major growth
opportunities in North America, Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Africa and the
Caspian. And downstream, we become the largest refinery in North America and the
fifth-largest worldwide. North American downstream position provides numerous
opportunities to optimize performance.

Conoco and Phillips bring together a long history of technological innovation
and leadership that had yielded profitable new businesses and the opportunity to
further apply our capabilities across a much broader asset base. Some of those
examples include premium coke, carbon fibers, gas-to-liquid, LNG, clean fuels
technology. We believe that the combination creates an extraordinary set of
complementary capabilities, drawing on our talented management and core
competencies of both Conoco and Phillips, allowing us to apply the best
practices across a much broader base. We have strong





relationships around the world, especially in Russia and Venezuela and the
Middle East and Asia. The combined company will have 75 billion dollars in
assets and generate significant cash flow, which will be used to fund a
strong growth platform.

Now, what are we going to do with ConocoPhillips? First, we're going to focus
on improving returns by aggressively realizing $750 million in recurring cost
savings, which we believe is a very conservative number. Second, the
opportunity to grow earnings and improve returns by integrating and optimizing
the portfolio is one of the most attractive benefits of this combination,
particularly in downstream. The breadth and balance of our combined portfolios
create significant diversity, which allows us to enjoy greater earning
stability throughout the commodity price cycle. At the same time, we will
maintain capital discipline and redeploy capital to the highest-returning
projects. We have identified a number of promising growth prospects, and we
have a predictable production growth profile, with multiple legacy assets
already under development, and the growth profile is not dependent on future
exploration successes. The financial benefits resulting from the merger are
significant, and they are immediate. The synergies: the merger is accretive to
earnings and cash flow in the first year, and the merger is accretive through
a broad range of commodity prices. Finally, even before we began optimizing
the portfolio, with $750 million in synergies, the returns will obviously be
accretive. We believe the financial benefits of the merger enhance the
adjusted return on capital employed. And Jim Mulva, our frustrated CFO/CEO,
will discuss enhanced returns in more detail in a few minutes.

Now let's look at the transaction. The new company will be named ConocoPhillips.
Conoco's shareholders will receive about .47 new ConocoPhillips shares for each
Conoco share, while Phillips shareholders will exchange one Phillips share for
one new ConocoPhillips share. The exchange ratio implies a pro forma ownership
of about 43.4 percent for Conoco and 56.6 percent for Phillips. The transaction
is subject to both regulatory and shareholder approvals, and we expect the
merger to close in the latter half of 2002. The board will initially have 16
members: 8 from Conoco and 8 from Phillips. Our target board size is 12. I will
be the Chairman, and have agreed to delay my retirement to the end of 2004. Jim
Mulva will be the CEO and President and becomes Chairman on my retirement. The
corporate headquarters will be in Houston, Texas. As you can see from this
slide, the combination results in a bigger, more balanced and diversified
company. We'll be predominantly an upstream company, with 57 percent of the
portfolio in upstream. Long-term, we expect to grow this segment to 60 to 70
percent, but we'll have a significant investment in downstream, predominantly in
North America and Europe, and the heavy oil focus of Conoco will be complemented
by the light oil focus portfolio of Phillips. We'll have exposure to the
chemical sector through the Chevron-Phillips joint venture and to several other
growth areas that will contribute to earnings in the future. Together, this
portfolio, given its breadth, balance and diversity, should lower our exposure
to any one commodity and therefore reduce the volatility in our earnings. The
combination significantly increases the reserve position of ConocoPhillips. It
will be the sixth largest energy company, with a 8.7 billion BOEs of reserves.
In North America, we were ranked third in gas reserves, third overall. In Canada
and the North Sea, we'll be the fifth-largest oil and gas producer in terms of
reserves. And in Asia, we'll have operations stretching all the way from
Australia to China. Most importantly, 73 percent of our total reserves will be
in North America and the North Sea, thereby reducing the political risk exposure
of our portfolio. Taking into account the ARCO Alaska and Gulf





Canada acquisitions, the two companies have added over 3.5 billion barrels of
proven reserves in just the past two years. And the same is true with
production. We will be the sixth-largest energy company, with 1.7 million
BOEs per day. Downstream, the combination repositions ConocoPhillips among
its peers, with 2.7 million barrels per day of capacity. We will be the
fifth-largest energy company as measured by refining capacity. We will truly
be a global competitor in the downstream segment, with refining capacity in
North America, Europe and Asia.

Before I turn the program over to Jim, who will discuss in more detail how we
are going to create outstanding value for our shareholders, let me reemphasize
why I believe this is a great combination. In upstream, we will provide
earnings growth through aggressive portfolio management, cost reductions and
- -- most importantly -- bringing online already identified growth prospects.
Downstream, we plan to focus on integration, operational excellence and
optimization, thus improving returns and profitability. In chemicals, we will
continue to work with Chevron to ensure the most efficient operations
possible, so we will be well-positioned for the upturn in the chemical cycle.
And finally, we're excited about the potential to commercialize several of our
proprietary technologies, such as carbon fibers and gas-to-liquids. These
emerging businesses will provide significant contributions to the bottom line
of both companies in the future.

Let me again say how excited I am to have the opportunity to work with Jim as
together, we leverage our complementary capabilities across a broader
portfolio to create a great new international major. Thank you. Jim?

MR. MULVA:

Thanks, Archie. Well, Archie has pretty well gone through the strategic
rationale for the transaction and merger, as well as a summary of the
transaction. My comments are directed at how, together, we are going to drive
shareholder value creation.

On this slide, shareholder value -- this is a very important slide. First point:
we have already identified the leaders of the transition team. They were already
working aggressively. So when approval comes in the second half of this year, we
will have a smooth and quick implementation of the transition. And this will
lead to accomplishment of our synergies. Second, shareholder value creation is
going to come -- both companies have a great growth portfolio going forward. And
together, we're going to even further enhance that. That's going to drive
shareholder value creation. Both companies are committed to operating
excellence. It's important in commodity markets when we go through cycles
up-and-down, we must operate well. If we operate well, then we do realize
whatever those prices and margins are; and the emphasis on per unit cost and
safety. Discipline: both companies have -- and the emphasis is going to be on
the discipline by which we make capital investment decisions and maintaining our
financial discipline by which we handle the company that helps and supports the
growth of shareholder value. Archie's already commented that both companies have
great technology. We're going to leverage it. We have strong depth in terms of
our management teams and our human resources, and we both believe in long-term
relationships. Wherever we go, the best business is straightforward long-term
relationships. And the point on accountability -- compensation for the
management, compensation for all employees of variable pay, is going to be tied
back to the accountability that we outlined for ourselves in terms of
shareholder value creation.

Where do we start from? What is our basic strong position? In the upstream
part of the company, a very strong position, complementary in North America,
in the North Sea; an emerging, growing position in heavy oil and exploration
in Venezuela; and a really a super position in terms of the emerging exposure
and value creation coming from the Asia area, from the North to the South.
What is really exciting about both companies combined into the merged company
is what we call our decade of growth. And when we talk about decade of growth,
it's in the shorter-term, the





medium-term and the longer-term. And the projects I'm going to show on the next
several slides; these are defined projects; they're well thought-out. This is
not pie-in-the-sky. So let me go through what we have. First, in the short-term,
you can just see -- I won't go through all of this -- the breadth, the scope,
the diversity, the growth that we're going to see over the next several years.
It builds on our strong position. Again, these are well-defined projects; this
is not pie-in-the-sky. Medium-term: again, we continue to grow and develop --
grow on our current legacy asset positions, as well as the emerging new areas.
We continue to grow as we go through the medium-term of this decade of growth.
And then longer-term: I don't believe any company has as great -- for our size
- -- I don't think any company has the identified growth prospects for the next
decade. This is what is really exciting and this is what's really also going to
- -- if we execute this plan really well, we're going to drive a lot of value for
shareholders. What does this lead to? Our production profile over the next
several years, barrels of oil equivalent, is 4 percent a year. Now, we hope to
do better; in fact, we think we can do better. But we put 4 percent in. This
growth profile does not have production coming from core exploration. That's not
in the production numbers, so there's the upside. And these production numbers
do not have commercialization in this time period of the gas reserves, the
Alaska North Slope, or Mackenzie Delta in Canada. There's a lot of upside. We
certainly believe we can do 4 percent growth, and our plans are to do better. In
terms of our exploration portfolio: combined, we have a great portfolio on
exploration. Exposure: we complement each other very well. If you look at the
cash expenditures of both companies -- I'm saying cash expenditures, whether
it's capital, it's cash expenditures or exploration, E&A, geological,
geophysical, acquisition of lease -- it's a billion dollars a year between the
two companies. And you'll see, in the synergies slide, we can get 150 million
without any problem; upgrading our exploration portfolio. That's where 150
million of synergies is going to come, and have a great exploration portfolio
and program, very competitive with the largest companies in the industry. In
terms of our refining and marketing position, Archie commented -- we have a
premier position domestically, in the United States; strong position in Europe;
and a very nice, unique situation over in Asia.

Now, how are we going to create shareholder value? First, as I said earlier,
identification, execution, capture those synergies. I have a slide in a minute
that shows where the synergies are all coming from. In all of our business, but
definitely in the downstream part of the business. We have to operate; we have
to maintain the operating excellence. We have to run well. If we don't run
well, we don't realize the prices and the margins of the products. And we're
going to complement each other and take the best of practices. We have always
respected




each other, so there's a lot of value creation through best practices; a lot
of value creation through supply-chain managements and the leverage of our
technologies. Archie went through how we complement each other with
technologies, and how we can implement it for our asset base and our positions
in the RM&T business. We have a very strong refining and marketing business,
and it's going to create a lot of value for the company and for the
shareholders. But it also supports our strong strategic belief that we need to
be an integrated company; and the strong R&M position supports what we are
doing around the world in terms of development of our growth opportunities on
the upstream part of the company. Now, in terms of how value is created:
obviously, the financial side -- we believe it fits just very well and
supports this growth of shareholder value. The synergies: $750 million. We are
absolutely certain we're going to do $750 million. Our due diligence teams
have come together; we know for certain we will do this. And we're going to
task ourselves to capture all the synergies and hopefully quite a bit more
than $750 million. A significant part of the synergies is not workforce
reductions related; it really comes from the synergies of operation. But there
are workforce reductions. First in the upstream: the operating efficiencies.
From the lower 48, we obviously can see that the synergies of our
complementary operations -- where we can take cost out. In the North Sea,
United Kingdom and Norway, we both have offices; we both have -- certainly
efficiencies and synergies there. Exploration: I already commented on $150
million from the exploration program. If you look downstream, the operating
efficiencies, the best practices: easily $150 million; supply chain
management. On the corporate side, we both have corporate headquarters. We're
going to have one corporate headquarters, so we do not have to duplicate the
support for two corporate headquarters. That's one of our greater
efficiencies: $150 million. Again, $750 million is right in the ballpark for
transactions of this size. But we're tasking ourselves. We're going to do
this. We task ourselves to do more than this. In terms of capital employed:
you can just to see the portfolio of the two companies complement each other
so well, and with a step up in terms of purchase accounting financially, we go
to $50 billion pro forma of the portfolio. As Archie said, our objective over
time is to move the E&P side up towards 60 to 70 percent: a very strong,
well-balanced, diverse; and, from a political risk point of view, great
portfolio.

What about the returns? This is a really important slide, and we want to make
sure that we get this point across to everyone. If you take the consensus view,
pro forma of the two companies combined for 2002, the return on capital employed
is 7.8 percent. Both companies have made acquisitions, and when we made
acquisitions they were done with purchase accounting, not pooling. In the case
of Phillips, purchased ARCO Alaska, purchase accounting; Tosco, purchase
accounting. The Conoco purchase of Gulf Canada was purchase accounting. And this
transaction, this merger of the two companies will be financially purchase
accounting. If we were able to do all of this in a pooling transaction,
virtually a pooling transaction versus purchase accounting, you adjust for that;
the return on capital employed is 14.5 percent. So the way by which we
accomplish the growth and development of both companies over the last several
years has an impact on reported return on capital employed; but the adjust is
14.5 percent. So the question then is how does the 14.5 percent compare to the
largest companies in the peer group? 14.5 percent compared first: Exxon Mobil --
a pooling transaction -- still has not done a significant acquisition. Chevron
Texaco is a pooling. BP: acquisition of Amoco was pooling, acquisition of
(indiscernible) was purchase accounting. But BP comes out to -- our return on
capital employed is adjusted return on capital employed. The point we are making
is: when we look at return on capital employed and adjust for how we have
accounted for the acquisitions that we've done, and how this transaction is
structured, we're competitive with the largest in the industry. In terms of our
pro forma financials -- and again, we take consensus view of 2002. At the end of
2002, what does the company look like? It's a company combined merger of over $3
billion of net income; cash flow approaching $8 billion a year. Now there's a
step up in





terms of financial reporting for the asset base, the debt stage. You just add
the debt together of 17 billion. You've got to the step up to the assets. The
book equity goes up to about 34 billion. So the debt ratio is 34 percent. Pretty
impressive results in terms of combination of the two companies. What is our
financial strategy? Firm believer that financial strategy must be complementary
to support the capital strategy and the operating strategy. In our initial
target, we want to get the debt ratio to 30 percent, paid off immediately. This
is a strong A-credit-rating company. Now with proven performance, our growth
program, we'll have some debt reduction and building and retained earnings. We
think over time we can move to a double-A-credit rating. Financial discipline:
we're going to fund our growth program and our investment opportunities. We have
a strong growth program; we have a strong financial position. And through the
ups and downs of the marketplace, we're going to continue our investment,
funding those growth programs, that are going to drive shareholder value -- as I
said -- decade of growth over the short-, medium- and long-term. We're going to
use our cash flow to fund our investment opportunities. We will have a
competitive dividend; we will see some debt reduction. And to the extent the
cash resources are available after doing these things, we'll be looking at share
repurchase. In terms of the milestones: we expect shareholder approvals in
February of this year, and to close the transaction in the second half of this
year. We see no condition or requirement in closing this transaction which will
have any material effect on closing, consummating, the transaction, the merger.
And we see no condition or requirement that will have any material effect with
respect to the value creation of this merger for the shareholders.

Final slide: this is a compelling transaction, the merger of the two companies,
for both companies. Phillips merging with Conoco is the best alternative and
opportunity for Phillips; Conoco merging with Phillips is the best opportunity
for Conoco. The (indiscernible) transaction: as Archie said, we have created
truly a new major integrated international petroleum company. As profitability
and returns, we have gone through the synergies. We also believe that you're
going to see great improvements in share price over time as a result of multiple
expansion. Great portfolio of growth opportunities; and we started off -- both
companies strong financially, but the merged company is, no doubt, has a strong
financial position and platform. We both, Archie and myself, talked about the
complementary capabilities, technologies and values that both companies have. We
believe in long-term relationships, we believe in the strength of our people, we
believe in technology. I said, long-term relationships and a strong financial
position. And we feel very strong -- that's absolutely important -- in the world
that we operate. Anywhere in the world, we have the strongest in terms of
environmental safety performance. As Archie said: immediately accretive as we
put the transaction together and accomplish the $750 million of synergy. It's
immediately accretive to earnings in cash flow. As I said, this is a compelling
transaction. So that concludes our prepared remarks, and I think both Archie and
myself are ready to entertain whatever questions you might have.





THE OPERATOR:

 (Caller Instructions)

THE CALLER:

The combined company is going to have a managerial, financial and technical
skillset that will be significantly enhancing. Sounds like you guys believe it
will (indiscernible) as well, and that you also believe that their
(indiscernible) competitive position (indiscernible) returns (indiscernible). So
my question is: do you agree with this characterization and why? Also, can you
give us some significant examples and how it will apply, that is, make a
difference?

MR. DUNHAM:

The exciting thing about putting two companies together, like Conoco and
Phillips, is that we really do fit each other like a glove. If you start in
North America, with the tremendous asset base that we have in Alaska now,
Canada, the Lower 48, Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, if you look at what we both
have -- we're side-by-side in Venezuela. So there's got to be tremendous
synergistic opportunities there. If you go to the North Sea -- Jim mentioned
about Norway, the UK -- we've got duplicate offices now. We've got a huge,
strong portfolio in North Sea. If we go to Asia, it's all the way from
Australia and the Southeast through Indonesia, Timor, Malaysia, Singapore,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, all the way to China. And then, look at what we
both have in the Caspian. If you look at the Middle East, we are both sitting
there strong, with Conoco in Dubai and Syria; and both of us are going to be
in Saudi Arabia. As I mentioned, Russia. We've got short-term opportunities,
we have long-term opportunities. We don't need any additional exploration
successes to achieve that. We're going to take a lot of -- I've agreed to
snowmobile naked from the waist up for a billion barrel discovery on the part
of Conoco, and I'm guessing my partner here -- you'll do the same thing.

MR. MULVA:

Don't worry. Don't worry. I want to come back, though, to something else. Archie
has really answered that question well, and that is the answer. But there's
another point. The scope and size of the complementary assets and positions --
we have diversity, we have depth and balance in the portfolio so we can
withstand movements up-and-down in oil prices, gas prices, crack spreads, and
think that that is going to lead undoubtedly to less volatility than either of
us had in the past in terms of our earnings. And we believe that that is -- we
will be rewarded in the marketplace for less volatile earnings stream and
(indiscernible) the less volatility earnings stream -- we'll trade more like --
we'll trade more and look like in terms of our financial performance, like the
super-majors.





THE CALLER:

I think in one of the slides that you show, the combined company is going to
have a 57 percent upstream capital and you have also repeated (indiscernible)
that the is going to be somewhat higher than that, by (indiscernible)? Can you
give us some idea whether that's going to go (indiscernible) aggressive growth
on the upstream and maybe some (indiscernible) and furthermore what's your sense
of urgency (indiscernible) ratio?

MR. MULVA:

Well, both companies, individually, are going to be spending about 75 percent
of the capital program towards exploration and production. Second, we like our
assets. Both companies, over a number of years, have really rationalized and
improved the portfolio both upstream and down. We like our asset base.
Phillips announced as a result of the Tosco acquisition -- probably lighten up
some on the marketing side. But in terms of creation of shareholder value, if
not premised on asset bases -- we like our portfolio. We like our
assets. But getting to 60 or 70 percent is going to come, essentially, through
primarily generic growth.

MR. DUNHAM:

It was amazing when we first came together, the first thing we did was talk
about vision, strategies, objectives, culture and values. And it was amazing how
similar we were in what we wanted to do with the portfolio; where we wanted to
grow. We both wanted to have an upstream as a percent of our total portfolio
that was somewhere around 60, 65, 70 percent. We both wanted to increase the gas
as a percent of our portfolio closer to 50 percent, which is where we are today.
And our growth objectives: I think, geographically, we're very similar. So as
Jim says, we are going to do this by growing upstream, maybe faster than what
we're growing downstream. But we are totally committed to integration, and I'm
absolutely convinced that that's why Conoco has gotten some of the great growth
opportunities over the last 10 years that we have received, and I think that Jim
would say the same thing about Phillips. We're very, very aligned; and we're
very confident that we can do that.

THE CALLER:

Archie and Jim, congratulations. I have 2 questions, really. As a follow-up to
Paul Ting's (phonetic): you're still going to be fairly leveraged to crude oil.
Phillips is going to come down considerably as a result of this (indiscernible).
One of the knocks, obviously, on the company (indiscernible) leveraged oil hurts
your multiple (indiscernible) talking about growing your upstream assets Paul
pointed out. How are you going to accomplish this? Are you looking to gain more
in the natural gas arena than you were through internal growth, but are you
still going to be looking (indiscernible)? That's the first question. The second
question: I was wondering if you could give us some guidance on the accretive
nature of this transaction (indiscernible) blanket statement.





MR. DUNHAM:

Well first of all, crude prices are going up. You're supposed to lighten up a
little bit, guys. But we really do believe that crude prices are going to
increase. But we have tested this merger on a broad range of commodity prices
from low crude prices through high crude prices; low gas prices, high gas
prices; low light oil spreads, high light oil spreads. And it's accretive
throughout the range. With respect to the acquisitions: I think what Jim and I
are committed to do is making this a success. But we have the balance sheet,
we have the muscle, that if the right opportunities come around, we can look
at them.

MR. MULVA:

I'd like to comment a little further, though. We have a lot on our plate. Value
creation is going to come from a smooth and a quick implementation of the
integration and capturing of the growth strategies. But we really are oriented
towards making -- getting all the value creation from the merger. Acquisitions
is not really high on our priority list. It's really important that we put the
two companies together right; get the synergy value. Your question on gas: we
want to do more on gas, and we're looking at, ultimately, the gas resources that
can come from deepwater exploration in the Gulf, but really more importantly,
the gas positions that we both have, together, in Alaska and in Canada. The
other part is that we have gas-to-liquids technology with Conoco; we've always
been strong in LNG. And our position in Asia is going to allow us to do quite a
bit in gas-related projects. So the generic growth: we see, over time, more of a
balance between gas and oil. But on the other hand, I'll just come back in terms
of the fact that we like oil too. When we purchased ARCO Alaska, yes, it was
primarily oil. Does that mean we (indiscernible) bought ARCO Alaska? Absolutely
not. As a result of what we are (indiscernible) both companies were doing in
terms of creating the value by the portfolios and transactions we've done.

MR. DUNHAM:

I think gas-to-liquid really does get us a leg up. If you look at all of the
gas reserves in the world today -- the proven gas reserves in the world today
- -- 80 percent of them are stranded. So we're building a demonstration plant,
as you know, in Oklahoma, to prove that technology. Most of the outside
consultants who look at all the competing technologies believe our technology
is the best. So between what we have in Alaska and Canada, stranded gas with
gas-to-liquids -- we're going to move that natural gas as a percent of our
total portfolio, I think, quickly toward the 50 percent target.

THE CALLER:

I had a couple specific questions and then one for Archie in particular.
First, can either of you guys quantify the head count reductions that you
anticipate underlying the 750 million? Secondly, Jim, I'm curious as to what
- -- from an operating standpoint -- is likely to remain in Bartlesville.
Further comments on the release? And then, third, for Archie. Archie, on
numerous occasions, including just a few days ago, I think you have argued
before a large fraction of this audience as to the undervalued nature of
Conoco shares. Yet, you are enthusiastically embracing a transaction with no
premium for the Conoco shareholder, after a period where the Conoco shares
have underperformed the Phillips shares in both of the last two years. Help me
understand how you're going to sell this to the Conoco shareholders.





MR. MULVA:

Mark, your question regarding synergies and workforce reductions: as I said
earlier, a significant portion of our synergies is not workforce-related, but
there will be workforce reductions, without doubt. Our emphasis in the last
several weeks was directed towards the due diligence, making sure
strategic alignment and accomplishing the transaction that we have just
announced yesterday. Transition teams are formed. We know there will be
workforce reductions, but it is a bit preliminary to come out and say exactly
what the number may be. In terms of Bartlesville, it's no longer the corporate
headquarters; the corporate headquarters is Houston. We will, as we indicated in
our media release, have a significant presence in Bartlesville and in
Oklahoma. And we'll continue our commitment to the communities, but not at the
expense of synergies either. So, exactly what will be at the corporate
headquarters -- not what is normally done at the corporate headquarters from
- -- that's going to be in Houston. Now it's a bit early to say exactly, because
we want to make sure. This certainly impacts our employees and the communities
where we operate. As I said, we want to make sure that we really have this
right because it's impacting so many people. We want to make sure we do it
right, carefully. So we'll have workforce reductions throughout the company
and in Bartlesville, but it's a little too early to come forward and say
exactly what the numbers are. I guess, Archie, you had the other question.

MR. DUNHAM:

I thought maybe you'd take that question? No, I'll take it. First of all, you're
incorrect. Conoco has not underperformed in the market in the last two years.
Even Phillips -- in the year 2000 they were number 2 in total shareholder
return, very strong top quartile. This year, up until we made our earnings
correction at the third quarter because of our debt refinancing -- we took a
huge hit, as I said on Wednesday. We expected that. We were not happy with that,
but that's what happened. And if you look at the relationship between the two
stocks over the last few years, we really have tracked very closely. There have
been times when the ratio for Conoco was much higher; times when Phillips -- it
was much higher. And what made this possible is really the relationship that has
taken place over the last couple of months that allows us to be a merger of
equals. And so we're excited to be able to put together this transaction. I'm
absolutely -- I mean, and this is a compelling story in my opinion -- what we've
shared with you today -- about the strengths of bringing these two companies
together. I think it's good for the United States, I think it's good for energy
security, I even think it's good for Oklahoma long-term. And we're convinced --
with the growth profile and all the opportunities that we have as a company and
the ability to really utilize all the complementary skills and talents across
this much broader portfolio -- that we're going to rapidly create shareholder
value. So we're happy about the opportunity.

MR. MULVA:

Our investment bankers, same as for Conoco, have indicated -- well you look
over three years, two years six months, three months, we track it -- almost
spot on within just a percent or two of each other.





THE CALLER:

Thanks. You commented on accountability. Could you elaborate on how investors
can have confidence that their management team will be held accountable for
meeting either return on capital, normalized EPS, production growth, cost
savings or other targets? And then secondly, I noted that Libya had made the
short-term decade of growth target. Could you elaborate on what gives you
confidence that U.S. sanctions will be lifted by 2004? Thank you.

MR. MULVA:

OK. I'll take the first one. Both companies have a strong commitment:
compensation of the management team is tied to accomplishment of synergies,
production, return on capital employed, operating efficiencies. And we carry
that concept through in variable pay, all the way down through both
organizations. So we both have, from top to bottom, the same objectives. Of
course, variable pay becomes more as you go up through the management team.
I'm a real stickler on this thing from day one, from my history and my
background. This is the way you provide incentives to the whole entire team,
from the management to every employee in the company. We're going to have it,
and we're going to deliver it. And if you look at our history, we do that.
When we do a transaction and we assimilate it -- both companies, now --
(indiscernible) right into Conoco without a hiccup. Alaska, ARCO Alaska came
right into Phillips. And Tosco: clean, quick transaction. I feel passionate
about this. We will meet our objectives and compensation will be tied
to meeting those objectives. To me, it's not about money; it's about the
report card. When we say we're going to do something, we're going to do it.

MR. DUNHAM:

Let me just add another comment about compensation. Jim's compensation and my
compensation are going to be identical. Which means that I'm going to be doing
everything in my power to make Jim the most successful CEO in America, and he
is going to be doing everything in his power to make me the most successful
Chairman in the energy market. So we're totally committed to the concept of
accountability. I think both companies have been managed that way for years.
The question around Libya, and I'll include Iran in that answer as well
because I think, as you know, Conoco has been probably the leading company in
working with the current administration and the past administration; and with
Congress; and with the governments of a Libya and Iran in trying to enhance
relationships between our countries. I know that significant progress is being
made politically, and I'm pleased with the reaction, first of all, of Libya
after the September 11th event. I'm very pleased with the reaction of Iran,
the public statements they've made, the private statements that they've made.
Where we stand today, government to government, I've never been more
optimistic than today in the last six years. So I feel very confident that
that is going to occur, and when it does ConocoPhillips is going to have the
first big opportunity in Iran. And that is just going to bulk up our Middle
East portfolio.

MR. MULVA:

Archie, are you going to sign that this is going to happen?





MR. DUNHAM:

That'll be on our joint.

THE CALLER:

Thank you. Two quick questions. The first is for Jim. Jim, I think Phillips --
previously talking on the upstream production growth this morning -- 5.5 to 6
percent a year. With the new combined company, you're now talking about 4
percent. I'm just curious. Is there any material change in the outlook for the
Phillips company or is it just more conservative?

MR. MULVA:

No, there's no real change. In fact, we have -- I think our financial analyst
meeting in New York is the 28 or 29 of November. Of course you can take
different time periods, and we have no real change in our production profile
in the short-term, for Phillips. The longer-term is when it ramps up as we
bring on the new legacy asset positions in projects like Venezuela, continue
the growth in production of (indiscernible) and then China and the Timor Sea.
So no real change in that regard. Remember I said the combined company with 4
percent -- but we expect and hope to do better than that.

THE CALLER:

Secondly, the combined company will have a substantially better and more
extended reach on the upstream portfolio. If we're looking at today, is there
any particular gap in your portfolio that you want to fill? And also over the
next two or three years what will be the top priority? Will the top priority
be to fill those gaps or to get more from your existing core area?

MR. MULVA:

I think the first thing is: we want to make sure that we execute our growth
programs for these identified projects, execute them on schedule and within
budget. Now we're always looking; there's no limit. We find a good
opportunity, we find exploration success; good opportunities we will always
get the money for. As we said, we want to have more gas. We told you the areas
where we see more balance in terms of gas versus oil. But we've got a great
portfolio, great exploration program. We just want to make it better and do
more.

THE CALLER:

Jim, you suggested that the $750 million synergy target might be conservative.
And you have already identified the transition leaders. Could you just maybe
share with us a little bit what you two see as far as the steps over the next
year to really make this a smooth integration, and ultimately, hopefully,
identify greater synergies?

MR. MULVA:

Well the first thing is: we have been looking over the last month or two --
consummating, coming together, with the announcement of the merger on Sunday.
And great compatibility, not just on the assets but the management team
working with respect to the due diligence. So what we're going to do now --
and we are immediately working very hard on the transition team, because what
we want to do is go through the time period of regulatory review and all, and
have this completely figured out; so when approved, we're going to hit the
ground running in terms of a smooth and a quick integration; capture those
synergies. But I think we are going to obviously do more work in the next
several weeks, in the next several months, to better identify. And then I
think we can demonstrate that. But that's the short-term. But the long-term,
the medium- to long-term is, to make sure that when we capture these
synergies, that we hold them. A lot of times, you can capture a synergy, and
then they kind of come back in the cost structure. That's why we have a real





emphasis, in terms of accountability. And it comes down to per unit costs and
final development costs and reserve replacement. And that's how you do it and
maintain those efficiencies; keep them. So there will be a real emphasis on
the cost structure of the company and the performance in terms of final
development costs and reserve replacement. That's how we're going to drive
more value; that's how we're going to get more synergies.

THE OPERATOR:

Thank you. Our next question comes from Fred Loofer. You may ask your question
and please state your organization.

THE CALLER:

Yes, it's Bear Stearns. Good morning, gentlemen. And congratulations, Archie
and Jim. I guess what I want to know is: what has changed to bring this deal
around, guys? A few years back you had announced a joint venture in the
downstream, and that deal was not completed, I think, because of differences
over valuation. And Archie, you have said many times that you don't feel the
need to be bigger -- that Conoco doesn't feel the need to be bigger -- in
order to be efficient. So my question really is: what has changed to make you
want to combine the companies at this time?

MR. DUNHAM:

We're not talking about doing this because we're trying to get bigger. We're
doing it to create value. You probably didn't see all the presentation, but if
you had, you would have seen that by bringing these two portfolios together --
both on the upstream side and the downstream side -- really globally, there's
just so many opportunities to create instant value. The accretion, as I said,
across a full spectrum of prices and environmental conditions, is positive in
every situation. We're going to have a tremendous production profile growth.
And so I just think it's a laydown as far as I'm concerned; it's a great deal
for both sets of shareholders. And I'm confident that we have a transition
team identified so that we can get about doing this work; so, as Jim said,
when it's approved we'll be able to hit the ground running.

THE OPERATOR:

Thank you. At this time our next question comes from Michael Mayer (phonetic).
You may ask your question and please state your organization.

THE CALLER:

Yes, Prudential Financial. I have a question on the pro forma financials. The
Conoco income plus the Phillips income is 3.2 billion on your slides, and the
pro forma is 3.4 billion. And I guess the after-tax cost savings are probably
close to 500 million. Is the difference between the 3.4 billion and the higher
number solely due to the purchase accounting adjustments?

MR. MULVA:

That's correct.

THE CALLER:

And can you bring us through how they will be calculated?

MR. MULVA:

I think it might be best, Mike, that we just come back you a little bit later
after the phone call, and go through that with you.





THE CALLER:

Okay. But the only difference between those calculations is the non-cash
portion?

MR. MULVA:

That's right.

THE CALLER:

Very good, thank you.

THE OPERATOR:

Thank you. Our next question comes from Filo Gaet (phonetic). You may ask your
question and please state your organization.

THE CALLER:

From Stock and Company (phonetic). Good morning. Just looking at the number of
investment bankers involved in the deal, one should assume -- and correct me
if I am wrong -- that you looked at other possibilities. Is that true or not?

MR. DUNHAM:

Well, this is the biggest deal of the year, so we've got the best bankers to
help us. And we think they've all done a great job, and we're excited about
the opportunities.

THE CALLER:

But you looked at other partners? Or, possible partners? Yes or no?

MR. DUNHAM:

We're happily married and we're looking forward to a long marriage and a lot
of kids.

THE CALLER:

Just another question on the share buyback. Jim, the Phillips shareholders
expected a $1.5 or $1 billion share buyback. Is that on track? Or is that
going to be pushed back?

MR. MULVA:

Well, technically, we can go out and purchase our shares. But, given what has
just been announced, we're going to be looking at putting the merger together.
We can always buy the shares, but I think you're going to see us
concentrating, making sure we get our transition together, and we can look at
it. But I doubt that we'll be buying shares in. We'll consider that after the
merger.

THE CALLER:

And then final question on the debt level: the 17 or 18 billion that puts you
at the highest level in the whole industry. Are you comfortable with this debt
level? And from what I see, you're going to have very little free cash flow to
take down debt sharply. Is metrics still part of this strategy or what?





MR. MULVA:

Yes. The metrics in terms of -- significant cash flow, debt ratios, everything
looks really good for us. Right out of the box, a strong A-credit rating. On
the other hand, you will see us, over time, reduce the debt. We'd like to see
that coming down, but not at the expensive of funding our investment, our
growth program, not at the expense of a competitive dividend.

THE CALLER:

Thank you.

THE OPERATOR:

Thank you. Our last question from the phone comes from Barry Allen (phonetic).
You may ask your question and please state your organization.

THE CALLER:

Fleet Investment Advisers. Good morning. With this merger -- given the fact
that you have recently done other mergers and brought new management, new
upper management, in from your previous mergers -- in a true merger of equals
here, I guess I'm still a little concerned that you can put a management team
together here smoothly. Often you see in these type of situations a lot of
political backstabbings, so to speak, when you try to put these management
teams together. How do you avoid that?

MR. MULVA:

I don't understand that question, because this is the really exciting part.
Both companies have great management teams in depth. And we're going to make
sure that we select the best -- not only individually but collectively --
because this is all-important, from prior questions: driving forward in terms
of capture of synergies, value creation of our growth projects. So we see this
as really the great opportunity and the talent in the human resources and in
the management team is what is really going to distinguish this company from
our peer group.

MR. DUNHAM:

And the other thing that's unique in this deal is that I'm kind of halfway in
love with him.

THE CALLER:

Well that and the snowmobiling gives us a pretty good insight here. I guess
the second question is: has there been --

MR. DUNHAM:

Let me also comment, though, in a more serious way, on the question. Because
it is important. Jim and I have been talking for a long time, off and on; and
we have had a lot of discussions about management, and we've made the decision
that we want to pick the best people, and that's throughout all of the
management ranks. I'm absolutely convinced that we can do that. I think both
companies have performed well over a long period of time, and so that is going
to be a non-issue. Jim and I are convinced that we can work out all of these
kinds of issues. We'll have some bumps in the road, sure. Every merger does.
But I am convinced that the prize that this opportunity offers to both
companies' shareholders is worth it; and it's going to be a great merger.

THE CALLER:

Has there been any preliminary discussions with FTC or Justice on this merger?

MR. MULVA:

As I said earlier, no. We've been working on getting the merger together and
announced. But when we look at this, we expect that we will close the
transaction, go through just the customary, ordinary things that we will do to
get approvals through the regulatory process. And the most important thing is,
as I said earlier in our presentation: we see no condition or requirement of
consummating the transaction -- won't have any material impact on getting it
done, or any material impact in terms of the value creation from the
transaction.





THE CALLER:

Okay, thank you. (technical difficulty)

THE CALLER:

Any implications for capital spending if you combine the two companies'
programs? So you would see high-grading there?

MR. MULVA:

We will high-grade. But earlier I had indicated: we like our asset base, we
like our growth opportunities. So we're going to continue our capital
investment program because we have the position -- great opportunities -- and
we have the financial position to carry it through the ups and the downs
cycle. So we'll high-grade. But I think you're going to see us continue. What
really marks value creation over the long term is consistency of investment in
funding your investment program and your growth opportunities.

THE CALLER:

As one could imply it, with high-grading of capex and asset sales, that for a
period of the year or two you could actually see a slowdown in growth rates
from where you were running individually.

MR. MULVA:

We love our growth portfolio. We want to enhance it; we believe we can enhance
it. Now we're not just slowing down any of our cap share in our growth
projects.

MR. DUNHAM:

We've got a great balance sheet. Jim and I really appreciate each of you being
here today. We're confident that we're creating an outstanding international
major. I hope you'll agree with us and get our multiple up. We look forward to
visiting with you in the future. So thanks so much for being here.

MR. MULVA:

Thanks for coming.
