TEXACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
Note 1. Discontinued Operations
- -------------------------------
On February 29, 1996, Texaco completed the disposition of its operations
classified as discontinued operations by completing the sale of its worldwide
lubricant additives business to Ethyl Corporation for $136 million in cash and a
three-year note with a face amount of $60 million.
Revenues for the discontinued operations totaled $33 million for the first two
months of 1996, representing activities through the sale date.
Discontinued operations had no significant impact on the 1996 results.
Note 2. Inventories

Note 3. Contingent Liabilities
- ------------------------------
Information relative to commitments and contingent liabilities of Texaco Inc.
and subsidiary companies is presented in Notes 14 and 16, pages 63-64 and 67,
respectively, of Texaco Inc.'s 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.
With respect to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claims discussed in Note
16, page 67, of Texaco Inc.'s 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders, on April 21,
1997, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to review the decisions of the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Tax Court in the so-called
"Aramco Advantage" case. As a result of this decision by the Supreme Court,
Texaco recognized an after-tax earnings benefit of $488 million in the first
quarter 1997, representing the refund of the balance of deposits made to the IRS
in previous years for potential tax claims and accrued interest. In August 1997,
Texaco received approximately $770 million, which represents substantially all
amounts recoverable by the company.
----------
- 4 -
In the company's opinion, while it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate legal
and financial liability with respect to contingent liabilities and commitments,
including lawsuits, claims, guarantees, taxes and regulations, the aggregate
amount of such liability in excess of financial reserves is not anticipated to
be materially important in relation to the consolidated financial position or
results of operations of Texaco Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 4. Caltex Group of Companies
- ---------------------------------
Summarized unaudited financial information for the Caltex Group of Companies,
owned 50% by Texaco and 50% by Chevron Corporation, is presented below and is
reflected on a 100% Caltex Group basis:

Income before income taxes $ 859 $ 1,945 $ 220 $ 221
Net income $ 556 $ 1,082 $ 170 $ 93
On April 2, 1996, Caltex Petroleum Corporation ("Caltex") completed the sale of
its 50% interest in Nippon Petroleum Refining Company, Limited to its partner
Nippon Oil Company for approximately $2 billion. Caltex' net income for the
second quarter of 1996 included a gain of $621 million associated with this
sale.
Effective April 1, 1997, Caltex' 40% interest in its Bahrain refining joint
venture (Bapco) was sold to the government of the State of Bahrain at
approximately net book value.
On June 17, 1997, Caltex received a claim from the IRS for $292 million in
excise taxes, plus penalties and interest. The IRS claim relates to crude oil
sales to Japanese customers beginning in 1980. Prior to 1980, Caltex directly
supplied crude oil to its Japanese customers. In 1980, a Caltex subsidiary,
Caltex Trading and Transport Corporation, also became a contractual supplier of
crude oil to the Japanese customers. The IRS position is that this was a
transfer of property, and thus taxable. Caltex is challenging the claim and
fully expects to prevail, since the addition of another supplying company was
not a taxable event. Additionally, Caltex believes the claim is based on an
overstated value. Finally, Caltex disagrees with the imposition and calculation
of interest and penalties. Just as Caltex believes the underlying excise tax
claim is wrong, Caltex also believes the related claim for approximately $140
million in penalties is equally wrong and the IRS claim for almost $1.6 billion
in interest charges is flawed. Caltex believes that the likelihood that it will
pay these charges is remote.

Note 5. Stockholders' Equity
- -----------------------------
On July 25, 1997, the company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split
of the company's common stock, effective September 29, 1997. All data presented
in this Form 10-Q reflect the impact of the stock split.
The Board's action followed the approval by shareholders at the company's 1997
Annual Meeting to increase the number of authorized common shares to 700,000,000
and halve the par value to $3.125 per share.
Note 6. Subsequent Event - Acquisition of Monterey Resources, Inc.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 4, 1997, the shareholders of Monterey Resources, Inc. approved the
merger of Monterey with Texaco, in a transaction valued at $1.4 billion. Under
the terms of the merger, Monterey shareholders received 0.3471 shares of Texaco
common stock for each share of Monterey common stock. As a result, Texaco issued
approximately 19 million additional shares of Texaco common stock. In addition,
Texaco assumed Monterey's existing debt of approximately $300 million.
The merger will be recorded by Texaco as a purchase business combination for
accounting and financial reporting purposes. The pro forma effect of the merger
on revenues, consolidated net income and net income per share of Texaco common
stock for nine months, 1997 and prior periods is not material.
* * * * * * * * * * *
In the determination of preliminary and unaudited financial statements for the
nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, Texaco's
accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent with the application
of such policies in Texaco's financial statements issued in its 1996 Annual
Report to Stockholders. In the opinion of Texaco, all adjustments and
disclosures necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such
periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
information is subject to year-end audit by independent public accountants.
Texaco makes no forecasts or representations with respect to the level of net
income for the year 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Total worldwide net income for Texaco Inc. and subsidiary companies for the
third quarter of 1997 was $490 million, or $.91 per share, as compared with $434
million, or $.80 per share, for the third quarter of 1996. Total net income for
the first nine months of 1997 was $2,041 million, or $3.84 per share, as
compared with $1,509 million, or $2.81 per share, for the first nine months of
1996. Per share amounts reflect the two-for-one stock split, effective September
29, 1997. Both nine month periods included special items.
For the first nine months of 1997, net income before special items was $1,422
million, or $2.65 per share, as compared with $1,285 million, or $2.38 per
share, for the first nine months of 1996.
Significantly improved downstream results and upstream production gains were key
contributors to strong third quarter 1997 earnings. During the third quarter of
1997:
o Net income rose 13 percent to $490 million.
o Worldwide production rose three percent.
o Branded gasoline sales in the U.S. increased six percent.
o Quarterly dividend increased six percent to $.45 per share.
o Year-to-date capital and exploratory expenditures grew 34 percent to
$3.0 billion.
The solid third quarter performance reflects the momentum that Texaco is
building. Downstream earnings significantly improved in the third quarter this
year. Increased refinery throughput and higher gasoline sales volumes
complemented higher margins. Upstream earnings for the third quarter were below
last year due to the impacts of lower crude prices and higher exploratory
activities. However, these factors were partially offset by higher production in
the Partitioned Neutral Zone, the addition of production from the U.K. Captain
field and higher U.S. natural gas prices.
Two major upstream initiatives announced during the third quarter demonstrate
Texaco's commitment to enhance shareholder value. Texaco continues its efforts
to strengthen its competitive position in the global energy market. Texaco
acquired a 20 percent interest in the giant Karachaganak field in Kazakstan and
on November 4, 1997, completed the merger with the California heavy oil
producer, Monterey Resources, Inc. Each will add significantly to the company's
growing worldwide production and reserve base. The two-for-one stock split and
the six percent quarterly common stock dividend increase are further evidence of
Texaco's continued confidence in its ability to grow earnings and cash flow.

OPERATING EARNINGS
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
United States
Exploration and production earnings in the U.S. for the third quarter of 1997
were $232 million, as compared with $262 million for the third quarter of 1996.
For the nine month periods of 1997 and 1996, earnings were $732 million and $772
million, respectively. Results for 1997 included a second quarter special charge
of $43 million for the establishment of financial reserves for royalty and
severance tax issues. Excluding the special charge, results for the nine months
of 1997 totaled $775 million.
In the U.S. upstream, third quarter 1997 earnings were below last year's level
as the benefits of higher natural gas prices could not offset lower crude oil
prices and higher operating expenses associated with increased activities.
Average realized crude oil and natural gas prices for the third quarter of 1997
were $16.56 per barrel and $2.13 per thousand cubic feet (MCF); $1.37 per barrel
lower and $.11 per MCF higher than 1996. Ample worldwide supply levels led to
the weaker crude oil prices.
Earnings before special items for nine months of 1997 were slightly above 1996.
Higher realized commodity prices offset lower gas trading results and higher
expenses associated with increased operating and exploratory activities. Average
realized crude oil and natural gas prices for nine months of 1997 were $17.71
per barrel and $2.28 per MCF; $.47 per barrel and $.20 per MCF higher than 1996.
Production gains from new and existing fields, particularly in the Gulf of
Mexico and Louisiana, offset declines from maturing fields.
International
Exploration and production earnings outside the U.S. for the third quarter of
1997 were $103 million, as compared with $132 million for the third quarter of
1996. For the nine month periods of 1997 and 1996, earnings were $499 million
and $365 million, respectively. Results for 1997 included second quarter special
gains of $161 million from the sales of a 15 percent interest in the Captain
Field in the U.K. North Sea, an interest in Canadian gas properties and an
interest in an Australian pipeline system. Excluding these special gains,
results for the nine month period of 1997 totaled $338 million.
- 8 -
In the international upstream, third quarter and nine months 1997 earnings
before special items were below 1996 levels. Improved production only partly
offset the cost of Texaco's expanded exploration programs, lower gas trading
results in the U.K. and lower crude prices. Average realized crude oil prices
were $16.88 per barrel for the third quarter and $17.79 per barrel for the nine
months 1997; $2.55 and $.85 per barrel below 1996 prices.
Production in 1997 increased 10 percent over last year. New production from the
Captain field in the U.K. North Sea and record production in the Partitioned
Neutral Zone contributed to the increase. Also, new activities coming onstream
late in 1996 in the Bagre field offshore Angola and in the Danish North Sea led
to higher liquids production this year. Natural gas production in 1997 benefited
from a full nine months of operations at the Dolphin field in Trinidad and from
the Chuchupa "B" field in Colombia.
Results for the third quarter and nine months of 1997 included noncash currency
benefits of $13 million and $26 million, respectively, due to the weakening of
the Pound Sterling versus the U.S. dollar relating to deferred income taxes,
compared to minimal charges in 1996.
MANUFACTURING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
United States
Manufacturing, marketing and distribution earnings in the U.S. for the third
quarter of 1997 were $132 million, as compared with $94 million for the third
quarter of 1996. For the nine month periods of 1997 and 1996, earnings were $238
million and $242 million, respectively. Results for 1997 included a second
quarter special gain of $13 million from the sale of credit card operations.
Excluding the special gain, results for the nine months of 1997 were $225
million.
In the U.S. downstream, strong gasoline demand bolstered third quarter 1997
margins. Gulf Coast sour crude cracking margins also were higher in the third
quarter of 1997, maintaining the strength shown throughout the year. Improved
refinery operations and higher gasoline sales volumes also benefited 1997
results.
During the first nine months of 1997, Gulf Coast sour crude cracking margins
were higher than last year. However, weaker West Coast margins in the first half
of the year contributed to the lower earnings for the nine months of 1997 versus
the same period in 1996. Last year, regional refining problems and new
California gasoline formulation requirements caused a supply disruption
resulting in margin increases that peaked in the second quarter of 1996. In
1997, competitive pressures and increased costs dampened West Coast margins;
however, third quarter margin increases resulted in a modest recovery.
Additionally, the impact of refinery fires late in 1996 and early 1997 at the
Los Angeles, California refinery resulted in property damage and processing unit
downtime in the first quarter of 1997. Lower crude oil trading margins and
clean-up costs from the May pipeline break in Lake Barre, Louisiana also
contributed to the decline in 1997 earnings.
International
Manufacturing, marketing and distribution earnings outside the U.S. for the
third quarter of 1997 were $134 million, as compared with $37 million for the
third quarter of 1996. For the nine month periods of 1997 and 1996, earnings
were $370 million and $433 million, respectively. Results for 1996 included a
second quarter special gain of $224 million for Caltex' sale of its interest in
a Japanese affiliate, including the tax portion of the sales proceeds
distributed to the shareholders. Excluding the special gain, results for the
nine months of 1996 totaled $209 million.
In the international downstream, the strong 1997 earnings before special items
reflected higher manufacturing and marketing results. The refining segment
experienced improved margins and lower expenses. Improved U.K. marketing results
reflected a recovery from significantly depressed 1996 margins. Increased sales
volumes and stronger marketing margins in Latin America also contributed to the
higher earnings. Lower results in Scandinavia, primarily from competitive
pressures in the Norwegian marketplace, partly offset these improvements.
- 9 -
In the Caltex area of operations, third quarter and nine months 1997 benefited
from higher earnings in Korea through improved petrochemical results, refining
margins and higher refined product sales. Currency devaluations, notably in
Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, have caused an erosion in third quarter
marketing margins due to the inability to fully recover feedstock costs. Prices
are being raised to restore margins as quickly as market forces and regulations
permit. In the third quarter, favorable balance sheet currency translations
caused by the devaluations more than offset related product margin declines.
NONPETROLEUM
Nonpetroleum earnings for the third quarter of 1997 were $3 million, as compared
with $6 million for the third quarter of 1996. For the nine month periods of
1997 and 1996, earnings were $16 million and $11 million, respectively.
CORPORATE/NONOPERATING RESULTS
Corporate and nonoperating charges for the third quarter of 1997 were $114
million, as compared with charges of $97 million for the third quarter of 1996.
Corporate and nonoperating earnings for the nine months of 1997 were $186
million, as compared with charges of $314 million for the nine months of 1996.
Results for 1997 included a first quarter special benefit of $488 million
associated with the "Aramco Advantage" U.S. tax case. Excluding this benefit,
corporate and nonoperating charges totaled $302 million for the nine months of
1997.
During the third quarter 1997, corporate expenses increased with the
introduction of a new advertising campaign. Comparative nine months 1997 results
benefited from reduced interest expense due to lower debt levels and slightly
lower interest rates. Additionally, 1997 included higher gains on sales of
marketable securities held for investment by insurance operations.
- 10 -
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Texaco's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $499 million at
September 30, 1997, as compared with $552 million at year-end 1996. Cash from
operations totaled $3.05 billion and included the receipt of the IRS refund.
During 1997, cash from operations, together with proceeds from the sale of
nonstrategic assets of $756 million, exceeded outlays for Texaco's significantly
higher capital and exploratory program of $2.5 billion and the payment of
common, preferred and minority interest dividends of $772 million.
At September 30, 1997, Texaco's ratio of total debt to total borrowed and
invested capital was 31.5%, as compared with 33.6% at year-end 1996. At
September 30, 1997, Texaco's long-term debt included $1,056 million of debt
scheduled to mature within one year, which the company has both the intent and
the ability to refinance on a long-term basis. The company maintained a
revolving credit facility with commitments of $1.5 billion, which was unused at
both September 30, 1997 and at year-end 1996.
The company issued $150 million of 7.09% Noncallable Notes Due 2007 in the first
quarter and $200 million of 3.50% Cash-Settled Convertible Notes Due 2004 in the
third quarter. Concurrently with the issuance of the Cash-Settled Convertible
Notes, the company entered into an arrangement that converts its interest cost
into a LIBOR-based floating rate and limits Texaco's cost of conversion to the
face amount of these Notes. Proceeds from these offerings were used for working
capital, retirement of existing debt and other general corporate purposes.
During the first nine months of 1997, the company purchased $74 million of
common stock under the $500 million common stock repurchase program announced in
1995. This brings total purchases under this program to $237 million. The
company will continue repurchasing shares from time to time based on market
conditions.
During the first nine months of 1997, the company completed the following sales:
o In March, Texaco exercised an option to terminate a lease arrangement
and obtained ownership of the assets used in its propylene oxide/methyl
tertiary butyl ether (PO/MTBE) business. Concurrent with this
transaction, Texaco sold the PO/MTBE business to a Huntsman Corporation
affiliate for cash and preferred stock. The cash proceeds of $512
million were used to substantially offset the cost of exercising the
option. The preferred stock, with a stated value of $65 million, is
mandatorily redeemable in eleven years.
o During April, the company sold a 15% interest in its U.K. North Sea
Captain Field to an affiliate of Korea Petroleum Development
Corporation for approximately $210 million. Of this total amount, $20
million was received during the first quarter of 1996.
o In April, the company sold its interests in certain producing
operations in Canada for approximately $80 million.
o In May, the company sold its credit card services unit, including its
portfolio of proprietary credit card accounts receivable, for
approximately $300 million.
- 11 -
On August 12, 1997, Texaco repurchased certain equipment leasehold interests in
conjunction with a sale/leaseback arrangement for $522 million, which was less
than the sales proceeds previously received.
On July 25, 1997, Texaco's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of
the company's common stock, effective September 29, 1997. The company also
increased its quarterly dividend on its common stock to 45 cents per share from
42.5 cents per share, on a split basis, representing an increase of 5.9 percent.
On November 4, 1997, the shareholders of Monterey Resources, Inc. approved the
merger of Monterey with Texaco. (See Note 6, Subsequent Event - Acquisition of
Monterey Resources, Inc. for additional information on this transaction.) As a
result of the merger, Texaco issued approximately 19 million additional shares
of Texaco common stock and assumed Monterey's existing debt of approximately
$300 million.
The company considers its financial position sufficient to meet its anticipated
future financial requirements.
EMPLOYEE SEVERANCE PROGRAM
- --------------------------
On October 30, 1996, Texaco announced a companywide realignment and
consolidation of its operations designed to enhance the company's ability to
grow existing and new businesses. An after-tax provision of $56 million was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1996 to cover the costs of employee
separations, including employees of affiliates. Through September 30, 1997,
approximately 870 employees have been terminated with a related commitment to
severance payments of $39 million after-tax. Of this commitment, payments of $30
million have been made and charged against the reserve. The remaining reserve
balance will be used for ongoing employee separation benefits relating
principally to affiliates, for which Texaco is responsible.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
- -----------------------
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, Earnings per Share. Under SFAS 128,
companies currently required to report primary and fully diluted earnings per
share (EPS), will instead report basic and diluted EPS, respectively. Currently,
primary EPS considers the average number of common shares outstanding and the
potential dilution that would result if conversion rights associated with
certain outstanding securities were exercised. Fully diluted EPS considers all
potentially dilutive securities. Basic EPS, which will replace primary EPS, does
not consider any potential dilution. Diluted EPS is essentially similar to fully
diluted EPS.
Texaco must adopt SFAS 128 for its fiscal year 1997 financial statements and, at
that time, restate the per share amounts of prior periods. Amounts to be
reported as basic and diluted EPS in accordance with the new Statement will not
differ significantly from previously reported primary and fully diluted EPS.
CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES
- ------------------------------------
Capital and exploratory expenditures, including equity in such expenditures of
affiliates, were $3,023 million for the first nine months of 1997, as compared
to $2,252 million for the same period of 1996.
Increased U.S. exploration and production expenditures in 1997 reflected the
continued focus on strategic projects both onshore and offshore, especially in
the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Platform construction and development drilling is
underway in the Petronius and Arnold fields while delineation drilling continues
in the Fuji and Gemini prospects. Additionally, enhanced oil recovery efforts in
California and drilling and development programs in the traditional offshore
shelf area and onshore increased investments. Construction continued during the
third quarter on a jointly-owned natural gas pipeline and processing complex in
the Gulf Coast area.
- 12 -
Internationally, exploration and production expenditures in 1997 were 30 percent
higher than last year. During the third quarter 1997, Texaco acquired a 20
percent interest in Kazakstan's giant Karachaganak oil and gas field. One of the
largest oil and gas fields in the world, the Karachaganak field holds huge
quantities of recoverable reserves. Development work in Indonesia continued,
including expenditures for enhanced oil recovery installations. In the U.K.,
North Sea activities in the Galley and Mariner fields moved forward while work
in the Erskine field neared completion with initial production starting in early
November, 1997. Exploration activities expanded with significant spending in
China, Indonesia and Nigeria.
Downstream expenditures outside the U.S. showed a significant increase in
marketing investments for facilities and service station reimaging throughout
the Asia-Pacific area by Texaco's affiliate, Caltex Petroleum Corporation.
Marketing investments throughout Latin America also increased as compared to
1996.
