BUSINESS The Lubrizol Corporation was organized under the laws of Ohio in 1928. The company began business as a compounder of special-purpose lubricants, and in the early 1930's was among the first to commence research in the field of lubricant additives. Today, the company is a full service supplier of performance chemicals to diverse markets worldwide. These specialty chemical products are created through the application of advanced chemical and mechanical technologies to enhance the performance, quality and value of the customer products in which they are used. The company develops, produces and sells specialty additive systems for gasoline and diesel engine lubricating oils, for automatic transmission fluids and for gear oils and marine and tractor lubricants. The company also supplies specialty products for industrial lubricants and functional fluids, fuel additives and diversified specialty chemical products. Prior to December 1, 1992, the company had a separately reportable Agribusiness segment. That segment developed, produced and marketed planting seeds and specialty vegetable oils, and also conducted strategic biotechnology research and development. In 1992, the company transferred substantially all of its Agribusiness segment, other than the specialty vegetable oil operations, to Mycogen Corporation and to a joint venture formed with Mycogen. As a result of this and subsequent related transactions, the company acquired interests in Mycogen and a Mycogen affiliate, which interests were sold by the company in February 1996. (Please refer to Note 16 to the Financial Statements which is included in the company's 1995 Annual Report to its shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.) PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS. The company's principal products are additive systems for gasoline and diesel engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, gear oils, industrial fluids, metalworking compounds and fuels. The company also offers other specialty chemical products. Additives for engine oils accounted for 51% of consolidated revenues in 1995 and 1994, and 50% in 1993. Additives for driveline oils accounted for 24%, 24% and 19% of consolidated revenues for these respective periods. Additives improve the lubricants and fuels used in cars, trucks, buses, off-highway equipment, marine engines and industrial applications. In lubricants, additives enable oil to withstand a broader range of temperatures, limit the buildup of sludge and varnish deposits, reduce wear, inhibit the formation of foam, rust and corrosion, and retard oxidation. In fuels, additives help maintain efficient operation of the fuel delivery system, help control deposits and corrosion, improve combustion and assist in preventing decomposition during storage. 3 Due to the variety in the properties and applications of oils, a number of different chemicals are used to formulate the company's products. Each additive combination is designed to fit the characteristics of the customer's base oil and the level of performance specified. Engine oils for passenger cars contain a combination of chemical additives which usually includes one or more detergents, dispersants, oxidation inhibitors and wear inhibitors, pour point depressants and viscosity improvers. Other chemical combinations are used in heavy duty engine oils for trucks and off-highway equipment and in formulations for gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, industrial oils, metalworking fluids, and gasoline, diesel and residual fuels. COMPETITION. The chemical additive field is highly competitive in terms of price, product performance and customer service. The company's principal competitors, both in the United States and overseas, are three major petroleum companies and one chemical company. The petroleum companies produce lubricant and fuel additives for their own use, and also sell additives to others. These competing companies are also customers of the company. Excluding viscosity improvers, management believes, based on volume sold, that the company is the largest supplier to the petroleum industry of performance chemicals for lubricants. CUSTOMERS. In the United States, the company markets its additive products through its own sales organization. The company's additive customers consist primarily of oil refiners and independent oil blenders and are located in more than 100 countries. Approximately 60% of the company's sales are made to customers outside of North America. The company's ten largest customers, most of which are international oil companies and a number of which are groups of affiliated entities, accounted for approximately 44% of consolidated sales in 1995. Although the loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, each is made up of a number of separate business units that the company believes make independent purchasing decisions with respect to chemical additives. Sales to Mobil Corporation and its affiliates accounted for 10% of consolidated sales in 1995, and no customer exceeded 10% of consolidated sales in either 1994 or 1993. RAW MATERIALS. The company utilizes a broad variety of chemical raw materials in the manufacture of its additives and uses oil in processing and blending additives. These materials are obtainable from several sources, and for the most part are derived from petroleum. Unstable political and economic conditions in the Middle East have caused and may continue to cause the cost of raw materials to fluctuate significantly; however, the availability of raw materials to the company has not been significantly affected when these conditions occurred. The company expects raw materials to be available in adequate quantities during 1996. -2- 4 RESEARCH, TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT. The company has historically emphasized research and has developed a large percentage of the additives it manufactures and sells. Technological developments in the design of engines and other automotive equipment, combined with rising demands for environmental protection and fuel economy, require increasingly sophisticated chemical additives to meet industry performance standards. The frequency of changes in industry performance standards compresses time cycles for new product development and affects the company's technical spending patterns. Research and development expenditures were $104.9 million in 1995, $90.7 million in 1994 and $88.5 million in 1993. These amounts were equivalent to 6.3%, 5.7% and 5.8% of the respective revenues for such years. These amounts include expenditures for the performance evaluation of additive developments in engines and other types of mechanical equipment as well as expenditures for the development of specialty chemicals for industrial applications. In addition, $74.7 million, $74.8 million and $83.0 million was spent in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, for technical service activities, principally for evaluation in mechanical equipment of specific lubricant formulations designed for the needs of petroleum industry customers throughout the world. The company has two research facilities at Wickliffe, Ohio, one of which is principally for lubricant additive research and the other for research in the field of other specialty chemicals. The company also maintains a mechanical testing laboratory at Wickliffe, equipped with a variety of gasoline and diesel engines and other mechanical equipment to evaluate the performance of additives for lubricants and fuels. The company has similar mechanical testing laboratories in England and Japan and, in addition, makes extensive use of independent contract research firms. Extensive field testing is also conducted through various arrangements with fleet operators and others. Liaison offices in Detroit, Michigan; Hazelwood, England; Hamburg, Germany; Tokyo, Japan; and Paris, France maintain close contact with the principal automotive and equipment manufacturers of the world and keep the company abreast of the performance requirements for its products in the face of changing technologies. These liaison activities also serve as contacts for cooperative development and evaluation of products for future applications. Contacts with the automotive and equipment industry are important so the company may have the necessary direction and lead time to develop products for use in engines, transmissions, gear sets, and other areas of equipment that require lubricants of advanced design. PATENTS. The company owns certain United States patents relating to lubricant and fuel additives, lubricants, chemical compositions and processes, and protective coating materials and processes. It also owns similar patents in foreign countries. While such domestic and foreign patents expire from time to time, the company continues to apply for and obtain patent protection on an ongoing basis. Although the company believes that, in the aggregate, its patents constitute an important asset, it does not regard its business as being materially dependent upon any single patent or any group of related patents. -3- 5 The company has filed claims against Exxon Corporation and its affiliates ("Exxon") alleging infringements by Exxon of certain of the company's patents. These suits are pending in the United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom, and are at various stages. The international suits allege infringement of patents that correspond to a United States patent admitted as valid by Exxon in a settlement in 1988. In the suit in Canada, a determination of liability has been made by the courts against Exxon and in favor of the company, and the case has been returned to the trial court for an assessment of damages. In another patent infringement suit, instituted by Exxon in the United States, liability and damage determinations, previously made in favor of Exxon and against the company, have been overturned by an appeals court. For further information regarding these cases, refer to Note 18 to the Financial Statements which is included in the company's 1995 Annual Report to its shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. The company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment and limit manufacturing wastes and emissions. The company believes that as a general matter its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and the consequent financial liability to the company. Compliance with the environmental laws and regulations requires continuing management effort and expenditures by the company. Capital expenditures for environmental projects approximated $37 million in 1995, and over the past three years have averaged 16% of annual capital spending. Management believes that the cost of complying with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material affect on the earnings, liquidity or competitive position of the company. The company is engaged in the handling, manufacture, use, transportation and disposal of substances that are classified as hazardous or toxic by one or more regulatory agencies. The company believes that its handling, manufacture, use, transportation and disposal of such substances generally have been in accord with environmental laws and regulations. Among other environmental laws, the company is subject to the federal "Superfund" law, under which the company has been designated as a "potentially responsible party" that may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund priority list. The company's experience, consistent with what it believes to be the experience of others in similar cases, is that Superfund site liability tends to be apportioned among parties based upon contribution of materials to the Superfund site. Accordingly, the company measures its liability and carries out its financial reporting responsibilities with respect to Superfund sites based upon this standard, even though Superfund site liability is technically joint and several in nature. The company views the expense of remedial cleanup as a part of its product cost, and accrues for estimated environmental liabilities with charges to cost of sales. Management considers its environmental accrual to be adequate to provide for its portion of costs for all known environmental matters, including Superfund sites. Based upon consideration of currently available information, management does not believe liabilities for environmental matters will have a material adverse affect on the company's financial position, operating results or liquidity. -4- 6 General - ------- EMPLOYEES. At December 31, 1995, the company and its whollyowned subsidiaries had 4,601 employees of which approximately 64% were in the U.S. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. Financial information with respect to domestic and foreign operations is contained in Note 13 to the Financial Statements which is included in the company's 1995 Annual Report to its shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference. The company supplies its additive customers abroad from overseas manufacturing plants and through export from the United States. Sales and technical service offices are maintained in more than 30 countries outside the United States. As a result, the company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political uncertainty, import and export limitations, exchange controls and currency fluctuations. The company believes risks related to its foreign operations are mitigated due to the political and economic stability of the countries in which its largest foreign operations are located. While changes in the U.S. dollar value of foreign currencies will affect earnings from time to time, the longer term economic effect of these changes should not be significant given the company's net asset exposure, currency mix and pricing flexibility. Generally, the income statement effect of changes in the U.S. dollar value of foreign currencies is partially or wholly offset by the company's ability to make corresponding price changes in local currency. The company's consolidated net income will generally benefit as foreign currencies increase in value compared to the U.S. dollar and will generally decline as foreign currencies decrease in value. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The general offices of the company are located in Wickliffe, Ohio. The company has various leases for general office space primarily located in Eastlake, Ohio; Houston, Texas; and London, England. The company owns three additive manufacturing plants in the United States; one located in the Cleveland, Ohio area, at Painesville, and two near Houston, Texas, at Deer Park and Bayport. Outside the United States, the company owns additive manufacturing plants in Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, France (three locations), Japan, South Africa and Singapore. All of these plants, other than Singapore, are owned in fee. In Singapore, the company owns the plant but leases the land on which the plant is located. The company owns in fee mechanical testing facilities in Wickliffe, Ohio; Hazelwood, England; and Atsugi, Japan. The company also owns an oilseed crushing and refining plant located in Culbertson, Montana; a manufacturing plant in Germany that manufactures performance chemical additives for the coatings industry; a manufacturing plant in Atlanta, Georgia, that manufactures additive injection equipment and additive blend controllers; and a manufacturing plant in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, that manufactures emission control systems for industrial applications. -5- 7 Additive manufacturing plants in India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela are owned and operated by joint venture companies licensed by Lubrizol. Lubrizol's ownership of each of these companies ranges from 40% to 49%. The company has entered into long-term contracts for its exclusive use of major marine terminal facilities at the Port of Houston, Texas. In addition, Lubrizol has leases for storage facilities in Australia, Chile, Ecuador, Finland, France, Holland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, and Turkey; East Liverpool, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; St. Paul, Minnesota; Bayonne, New Jersey; and Tacoma, Washington. In some cases, the ownership or leasing of such facilities is through certain of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The company initiated a manufacturing rationalization plan during 1993. The plan will be substantially complete near the end of 1996 and, through consolidation, is expected to result in a one-third reduction in the number of units used to produce intermediate products. See Note 17 to the Financial Statements included in the company's 1995 Annual Report to its shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference. Management continues to maintain a capital expenditure program to support the company's operations and believes that the company's facilities are adequate for its present operations and for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The company is a party in a case brought by Exxon Corporation and its affiliates, Exxon Chemical Patents, Inc. and Exxon Research & Engineering Company, in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division on September 19, 1989. In December 1992, the trial jury rendered a verdict that the company willfully infringed an Exxon patent pertaining to an oil soluble copper additive component. In early 1993, the court prohibited the company from making or selling any additive packages in the United States that contained this component and awarded Exxon $18.1 million for attorneys' fees. In November 1993, another jury in the same case awarded Exxon $48 million in damages, and in February 1994, the trial court judge doubled the damages amount and awarded prejudgment interest, court costs and additional attorney's fees for a total judgment of $129 million. The findings of infringement and validity of the Exxon patent as well as the $129 million judgment were appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., which has jurisdiction over all patent cases. On September 1, 1995, the Appellate Court overturned the jury verdict that the company infringed the Exxon patent and entered judgment in favor of the company as a matter of law. The ruling also vacated the injunction against the company and the $129 million judgment. On February 23, 1996, the same court in Washington, D.C., denied Exxon's request for a rehearing. The company expects Exxon to file for Supreme Court review but does not know whether the Supreme Court would grant any such review. ITEM 4.

ARTICLE III PAYMENT OF BENEFITS 3.1 PAYMENT TO PARTICIPANT. (Effective November 27, 1995) (a) Each Participant who terminates employment with the Company and its related corporations shall receive payment of his supplemental pension benefit under the Plan determined as of his date of termination of employment in the standard form of benefit of a monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following employment termination and payable to such Participant for his lifetime following such employment termination, with the continuance to his Beneficiary of such amount after his death for the remainder, if any, of the 120-month term that commenced with the date as of which the first payment of such monthly benefit is made, and with any such monthly benefits remaining unpaid upon the death of the survivor of the Participant and his Beneficiary to be made to the estate of such survivor. (b) Participants may instead elect within a 60 day period commencing 90 days prior to employment termination to receive the actuarial equivalent of the standard form of benefit determined under paragraph (a), on the date of employment termination, in accordance with any one of the following options: (i) for Participants hired prior to February 1, 1984, a single lump-sum payment payable within 30 days following employment termination; (ii) for Participants hired prior to February 1, 1984, a single lump-sum payment payable within 30 days following the end of the calendar year in which the Participant's employment terminated. Interest on the lump-sum deferral shall accrue and be paid with the lump-sum; such interest to be computed at the PBGC interest rate in effect of the date of employment termination. (iii) a reduced monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following employment termination and payable to such Participant for his lifetime following such employment termination, with the continuance of a monthly benefit equal to fifty percent (50%) of such reduced amount after his death to the Participant's Beneficiary during the lifetime of the Beneficiary, provided that such Beneficiary is living at the time of such Participant's employment termination and survives such Participant; (iv) a reduced monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following employment termination and payable to such Participant during his lifetime following his termination, with the continuance of a monthly benefit 4 equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such reduced amount after his death to the Participant's Beneficiary during the lifetime of the Beneficiary, provided such Beneficiary is living at the time of such Participant's termination and survives such Participant. Such optional forms of payment described above shall be calculated using the same actuarial factors and interest rates used under The Lubrizol Corporation Pension Plan (or its successor) as in effect on the date of employment termination; provided, however, that for any person who was a Participant as of December 31, 1993, who elects to have his supplemental pension benefit paid in a single lump-sum payment, the interest rate used to discount the portion of the Participant's supplemental pension benefit which represents his accrued benefit as of December 31, 1993, shall be the arithmetic average of the 7-day compound yield rates for the six full calendar months prior to the month of termination as published in Donoghue's Tax-Free MONEY FUND AVERAGE which is reported weekly in BARRON'S; provided further that such rate with respect to any month shall be the rate reported in the first issue of BARRON'S published during such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the Plan to the contrary, if the present actuarial value of any retirement benefit or survivor benefit under the Plan to any person, determined as described above, is less than $25,000, such benefit shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment to such person within 30 days following employment termination. 3.2 PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF DEATH PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION. If a Participant dies prior to commencement of benefits under the Plan, his surviving spouse, if any, shall be eligible for a survivor benefit which is equal to one-half of the reduced monthly benefit the Participant would have received under the Plan if the Participant had retired on the day before his death and had elected to receive his benefit under the Lubrizol Pension Plan in a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity form. In making the determinations and reductions required in this Section 3.2, the Company shall apply the assumptions then in use under the Lubrizol Pension Plan.

K. HSU. Effective January 1, 1996, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1(b), Roger Y. K.

If a Participant attempts to assign, transfer, alienate or encumber his right to receive any payment hereunder or permits the same to be subject to alienation, garnishment, attachment. execution, or levy of any kind, then thereafter during the life of such Participant, and also during any period in which any Participant is incapable in the judgment of the Company of attending to his financial affairs, any payments which the Company is required to make hereunder may be made, in the discretion of the Company, directly to such Participant or to any other person for his use or benefit or that of his dependents, if any, including any person furnishing goods or services to or for his use or benefit or the use or benefit of his dependents, if any.

No Participant shall be eligible for a benefit under the Plan unless such Participant is a Participant on the date of his retirement, death, or other termination of employment. 6.6 CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS.

ARTICLE II ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION ----------------------------- 2.01 ELIGIBILITY. All Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 2.02 PARTICIPATION. The Committee shall determine which Employees shall participate in the Plan for each Plan Year. The Committee's selection of Participants shall be made after considering recommendations presented to it by the Chief Executive Officer. ARTICLE III INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE SHARES ----------------------------- 3.01 IN GENERAL. At the time the Committee selects Participants for any Plan Year, the Committee shall, after consideration of the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, establish for each Plan Year Individual Performance Shares for each Participant. 3.02 CALCULATION OF INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE SHARES. Individual Performance Shares shall be calculated in the following manner: (a) The Base Pay of each eligible Participant shall be multiplied by a designated percentage which shall take into account the Participant's position in the Corporation. Such percentage shall be determined by the Committee. (b) The amount produced for each Participant pursuant to the calculation in (a) above shall be divided by the sum of all such amounts produced for all 2 3 Participants calculated in accordance with (a) above in order to produce a second percentage. (c) The percentage for each Participant derived in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) above shall be multiplied by 100 and rounded to the highest whole number to produce the number of each Participant's Individual Performance Shares. Individual Performance Shares may be either increased or decreased, for any Participant at the discretion of the Committee or upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the President in order to reflect individual contribution not taken into account under the formulae described above. ARTICLE IV DETERMINATION OF FUND --------------------- 4.01 FUND. A fund will be accrued on a monthly basis for each Plan Year equal to a percentage of the Corporation's consolidated net income for such Plan Year (the "Fund"), which may be increased or decreased prior to the end of the Plan Year at the discretion of the Committee or upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer. The Fund shall consist of bookkeeping accruals and no cash or other property shall be set aside by the Corporation for these purposes. 4.02 POST-PLAN YEAR FUND ADJUSTMENT. Each January, corporate initiatives for the upcoming Plan Year will be categorized into four performance measures; financial, customer, franchise and organization, and presented to the Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. The following January, the Chief Executive Officer will evaluate the outcome of the performance measures for the Plan Year and will present the evaluation to the Committee which may thereafter at its discretion, increase or decrease the amount of the Fund. ARTICLE V INDIVIDUAL AWARDS ----------------- 5.01 ALLOCATION. Each Participant's Individual Award for a Plan Year shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the amount of the Fund by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of the Participant's Individual Performance Shares and the denominator of which shall be the total number of all Participants' Individual Performance Shares. The maximum amount of any Participant's Individual Award shall be at the discretion of the Committee. No Participant shall have any vested interest in or be entitled to any Individual Award until or unless such payment is made by the Committee. Any amounts remaining in the Fund after Individual Awards are made for any Plan Year shall be returned to earnings and not carried over to any subsequent Plan Year. 5.02 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF INDIVIDUAL AWARDS. In the event the Committee determines that a Participant is entitled to an Individual Award, the Corporation shall pay such Individual Award to that Participant as soon after the close of the Plan Year as may be feasible, but in no event later than 30 days after the public announcement of the Corporation's earnings for such Plan Year. A Participant who leaves the Corporation's employ prior to the issuance of an Individual Award, except in the case of retirement under the provisions of a qualified defined benefit plan maintained by the Corporation, disability or death, will not be eligible for any payment under this Plan. However, an Individual Award may be made in those instances 3 4 where recommendation for such a payment has been made by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee. In the event a Participant dies prior to the payment of any Individual Award with respect to any Plan Year, any Individual Award determined to be payable by the Committee shall be paid by the Corporation to the Participant's estate. 5.03 CONDITIONS. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the payment of Individual Awards to Participants with respect to any Plan Year is conditioned upon the availability of adequate corporate profits for the Corporation's fiscal year coinciding with any Plan Year. The determination of whether adequate corporate profits exist shall be made solely by the Board and such determination shall be conclusive and binding. ARTICLE VI CHANGE OF CONTROL ----------------- 6.01 For all purposes of the Plan, a "Change in Control of the Corporation" shall have occurred if any of the following events shall occur: a. The Corporation is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal person, and as a result of such merger, consolidation or reorganization less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction; b. The Corporation sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such sale are held in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such sale; c. There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report), each as promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), disclosing that any person (as the term "person" is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has become the beneficial owner (as the term "beneficial owner" is defined under Rule 13(d)(3) or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation ("Voting Stock"); d. The Corporation files a report or proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act disclosing in response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in control of the Corporation has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to any then-existing contract or transaction; or e. If during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for 4 5 election by the Corporation's stockholders, of each Director of the Corporation first elected during such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors of the Corporation then still in office who were Directors of the Corporation at the beginning of any such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the Plan solely because (i) the Corporation, (ii) an entity in which the Corporation directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of the voting securities or (iii) any Corporation-sponsored employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Corporation, either files or becomes obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) under the Exchange Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Voting Stock, whether in excess of 20% or otherwise, or because the Corporation reports that a change in control of the Corporation has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership. 6.02 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event a Change in Control of the Corporation occurs prior to final determination by the Committee of the amounts of Individual Awards to be paid under the Plan with respect to any Plan Year, the Committee shall calculate such Individual Awards as soon as practicable after such Change in control. The Fund from which Individual Awards are to be made shall be based upon accruals by the Corporation up to the time of such Change in Control and Individual Awards shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.02 herein. Payment of such Individual Awards shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination is made to compute the payments according to the terms of this provision.

The Corporation shall be under no obligation to segregate or reserve any funds or other assets for purposes relating to this Plan and no Participant shall have any rights whatsoever in or with respect to any funds or assets of the Corporation. 8.02 NON-ALIENATION. Since a Participant does not have any rights to any Individual Award under the Plan until payment of such Individual Award is made, no anticipated payment of any Individual Award shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment or encumbrance of any kind. If a Participant attempts to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such anticipated Individual Award, or if he has filed or will be filing for bankruptcy, the Committee in its discretion may cause such amounts as would otherwise become payable to such Participant at such time or times to be paid to or applied for the benefit of such one or more of the following as the Committee in its discretion may designate: the Participant, his spouse, child or children, or other dependents. 8.03 UNCLAIMED PAYMENTS. Should the whereabouts of any Participant entitled to receive any Individual Award be unknown to the Corporation, and unascertainable after reasonable inquiry by the Corporation, for a period of two years, the right of such person to receive payments hereunder shall be terminated, and the amounts which would otherwise have been payable to such person shall be forfeited. 8.04 ACTIONS OR DECISIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PLAN.

(a) Each director, or, in the event of death, his/her beneficiary, shall be entitled to receive one common share of the Company (a "Share" or "Shares") for each Unit credited to his/her Deferred Stock Account, payable at such time or times as hereinafter provided. Once a Share has been distributed with respect to a Unit, that Unit shall be canceled. (b) Unless otherwise elected by the director in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(c), all Shares shall be distributed to the director or beneficiary, as the case may be, on the first day of the month following the date on which the director ceases to be a director for any reason. (c) At any time prior to the first time that the Company credits Units to the director's Deferred Stock Account, the director may irrevocably elect to have all Shares to which the director will be entitled under this Plan distributed to him/her (or in the event of his/her death, the director's designated beneficiary) in ten or fewer annual installments commencing on the first day of the month following the date on which such director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason. The number of Shares to be distributed with each installment shall be equal to the nearer whole number obtained by dividing the number of Units then credited to the director's Deferred Stock Account by the number of unpaid installments. (d) Units with respect to which no distribution of Shares has yet occurred shall continue to be held in the director's Deferred Stock Account and credited with dividend equivalents in accordance with Section 4. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION ----------------------- 6. (a) Each director may, from time to time, by writing filed with the Company, designate any legal or natural person or persons (who may be designated contingently or successively) to whom Shares attributable to the director's Units are to be distributed if the director dies prior to having received all of such Shares to which he/she is entitled under Section 5. A beneficiary designation will be effective only if the signed form is filed with the Company while the director is alive and will cancel all beneficiary designation forms filed earlier. (b) To the extent that a director fails to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries as provided in this Section 6, or if all designated beneficiaries die before the director or before the distribution of all Shares attributable to the director's Units, all remaining Shares attributable to such Units shall be distributed to the estate of the director as soon as practicable after such death. ACCELERATION OF SHARE DISTRIBUTIONS ----------------------------------- 7. The Company may accelerate the distribution of Shares with respect to Units credited to the Deferred Stock Account of any director for reasons of severe financial hardship. For -2- 3 purposes of this Plan, severe financial hardship shall be deemed to exist in the event the Company determines that a director needs a distribution to meet immediate and heavy financial needs resulting from a sudden or unexpected illness or accident of the director or a member of his/her family, loss of the director's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the director. A distribution based on financial hardship shall not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the hardship. TRANSFERABILITY --------------- 8. The interests of any director or beneficiary under the Plan are not subject to the claims of the director's creditors and may not otherwise be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered. SHAREHOLDER STATUS ------------------ 9. Prior to the date that Shares are distributed to a director (or beneficiary), the director (or beneficiary) shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to the Units. The director's rights under this Plan are solely that of an unsecured creditor of the Company and the Company shall not be obligated to hold any Shares in trust or as a segregated fund. CHANGES IN SHARES ----------------- 10. In the event of any change in the number of outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, the number of Units to be credited in accordance with Section 3, the number of Units held in the director's Deferred Stock Account and the Shares to be distributed in accordance with this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any such event. SUCCESSORS ---------- 11. This Plan shall be binding upon any assignee or successor in interest to the Company whether by merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION ------------------------- 12. The Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any director or beneficiary without his/her consent with respect to Units credited prior to such amendment or termination. -3- EX-10.J 7 EXHIBIT 10(J) 1 Exhibit (10)(j) THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION OFFICERS' SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN (As Amended) The Lubrizol Corporation hereby establishes, effective as of January 1, 1993, The Lubrizol Corporation Officers' Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Plan") for the purpose of providing deferred compensation benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

Each Participant who retires from employment with the Company at or after age 55, but prior to his Normal Retirement Date, shall receive a percentage of his supplemental retirement benefit determined under Section 3, in accordance with the early retirement schedule provided in the Lubrizol Pension Plan. Section 5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a Participant terminates employment prior to age 55, he shall receive the actuarial equivalent of his supplemental retirement benefit determined under Section 3 in a single lump-sum payment; such actuarial equivalent of which shall be calculated using the same actuarial factors and interest rates used in the Lubrizol Pension Plan as in effect on the date the Participant terminates employment in accordance with this Section 5. Section 6. PAYMENT TO PARTICIPANT. (Effective November 27, 1995) (a) Each Participant who retires in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 shall receive payment of his supplemental pension benefit under the Plan determined as of his date of retirement in the standard form of benefit of a monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following retirement and payable to such Participant for his lifetime following such retirement, with the continuance to his Beneficiary of such amount after his death for the remainder, if any, of the 120-month term that commenced with the date as of which the first payment of such monthly benefit is made, and with any such monthly benefits remaining unpaid upon the death of the survivor of the Participant and his Beneficiary to be made to the estate of such survivor. (b) Participants may instead elect within a 60 day period commencing 90 days prior to retirement to receive the actuarial equivalent of the standard form of benefit determined under paragraph a, on the date of retirement, in accordance with any one of the following options: (i) a single lump-sum payment payable within 30 days following retirement; (ii) a single lump-sum payment payable within 30 days following the end of calendar year in which the Participant retired. Interest on the lump-sum deferral shall accrue and be paid with the lump- sum; such interest to be computed at the PBGC interest rate in effect of the date of retirement. (iii) a reduced monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following retirement and payable to such Participant for his lifetime following his retirement, with the continuance of a monthly benefit equal to fifty percent (50%) of such reduced amount after his death to his Beneficiary during the lifetime of the Beneficiary, provided that such Beneficiary is living at the time of such Participant's retirement and survives him; 4 (iv) a reduced monthly retirement benefit commencing within 30 days following retirement and payable to such Participant for his lifetime following his retirement, with the continuance of a monthly benefit equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such reduced amount after his death to his Beneficiary during the lifetime of the Beneficiary, provided such Beneficiary is living at the time of such Participant's retirement and survives him. (v) annual installments of up to ten payments, the first of which shall be paid within 30 days following retirement, and subsequent installments of which shall be paid on the anniversary date of the payment of the first installment. Such installments shall be determined by dividing the commuted lump-sum equivalent of the supplemental retirement benefit (determined in the same manner as under the Lubrizol Pension Plan) by the number of installments to be paid and adjusting for interest based on the interest rate used to determine the commuted lump-sum payment. Installments after the first installment shall include such interest which accrues during the 12-month period occurring since the date the prior installment was paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the Plan to the contrary, if the present actuarial value of any retirement benefit or survivor benefit under the Plan to any person, determined as described above, is less than $25,000, such benefit shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment to such person within 30 days following retirement. Section 7. PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF DEATH PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION. If a Participant dies prior to commencement of benefits under the Plan, his surviving spouse, if any, shall be eligible for a survivor benefit which is equal to one-half of the reduced monthly benefit the Participant would have received under the Plan if the Participant had terminated employment on the day before his death and had elected to receive his benefit hereunder in the form of a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity. In making the determinations and reductions required in this Section 7, the Company shall apply the assumptions then in use under the Lubrizol Pension Plan. For purposes hereof, a surviving spouse shall only be eligible for a benefit under this Section 7, if such spouse had been married to the deceased Participant for at least one year as of the date of the Participant's death. Section 8. ACTUARIAL FACTORS. All actuarial assumptions and factors used in this Plan shall be the same as those used in the Lubrizol Pension Plan. Section 9. FUNDING. The obligation of the Company to pay benefits provided hereunder shall be unfunded and unsecured and such benefits shall be paid by the Company out of its general funds. In order to provide a source of payment for its obligations under the Plan, the Company may cause a trust fund to be maintained and/or arrange for insurance contracts. Subject to the provisions of the trust agreement governing any such trust fund or the insurance contract, the obligation of the Company under the Plan to provide a Participant with a benefit shall nonetheless constitute the unsecured promise of the Company to make payments as provided herein, and no person shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Company. 5 Section 10. PLAN ADMINISTRATOR. The Company shall be the plan administrator of the Plan. The plan administrator shall perform all ministerial functions with respect to the Plan. Further, the plan administrator shall have full power and authority to interpret and construe the Plan and shall determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. The plan administrator shall employ such advisors or agents as it may deem necessary or advisable to assist it in carrying out its duties hereunder. Section 11. NOT A CONTRACT OF CONTINUING EMPLOYMENT. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of the Participant to continue his employment with the Company, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of the Company to continue the employment or the annual rate of compensation of the Participant for any period, and the Participant shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been put into effect. Section 12. RIGHT OF AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. Effective October 1, 1994, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time and to suspend operation of the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, by resolution or written action of its Board of Directors or by action of a committee to which such authority has been delegated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no amendment shall result in the forfeiture or reduction of the interest of any Participant or person claiming under or through any one or more of them pursuant to the Plan. Any amendment of the Plan shall be in writing and signed by authorized individuals. Section 13. TERMINATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ACCRUED BENEFITS. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company, and in that event the amount of the accrued benefits as of the date of such termination shall remain an obligation of the Company and shall be payable as if the Plan had not been terminated. Section 14. CONSTRUCTION. Where necessary or appropriate to the meaning hereof, the singular shall be deemed to include the plural, the plural to include the singular, the masculine to include the feminine, and the feminine to include the masculine. Section 15. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan is deemed invalid, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Plan, and the remainder of the Plan shall continue to be in full force and effect. Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

EX-13 10 EXHIBIT 13 1 Exhibit 13 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Lubrizol Corporation is a full service supplier of performance chemicals to diverse markets worldwide. These specialty chemical products are created through the application of advanced chemical and mechanical technologies to enhance the performance, quality and value of the products in which they are used. The company develops, produces and sells specialty additive systems for gasoline and diesel engine lubricating oils, for automatic transmission fluids and for gear oils and marine and tractor lubricants. The company also supplies specialty products for industrial lubricants and functional fluids, fuel additives and diversified specialty chemical products. Prior to December 1, 1992, the company had a separately reportable Agribusiness segment. As described in Note 16 to the financial statements, the company transferred substantially all of its Agribusiness segment, other than the specialty vegetable oil operations, (referred to as "Agrigenetics") to Mycogen Corporation and to a joint venture formed with Mycogen. Since 1993, the company has been engaged in initiatives to eliminate its separate business unit structure and realign activities into one combined organization and to consolidate intermediate production activities, improve the timeliness of product development, simplify its product offerings and continue the restructuring of its agribusiness investments. As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the company recorded a special pretax charge of $86.3 million in 1993 primarily for the manufacturing rationalization and organizational realignment initiatives. When substantially complete near the end of 1996, the number of intermediate production units will have been reduced by one-third, and the number of employees will have been reduced by approximately 5%. Through December 31, 1995, the company has completed approximately 75% of the production unit reductions and 90% of the employee reductions. Cash of approximately $36 million has been expended to implement these initiatives, primarily for employee reductions. Future cash expenditures to complete these initiatives are estimated to be $9 million. These initiatives reduced the rate of increase in the operating costs of the company, as compared with historical trends, which resulted in estimated savings approximating $35 million in 1995 and $20 to $25 million in 1994. These cost reductions resulted from fewer employees, lower operating costs and reductions in the number of manufacturing units. When fully implemented, annual savings are expected to approximate $50 million of which $40 million will represent cash savings. 1995 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In 1995, the company achieved record revenues but, despite a strong first half, annual earnings declined from the record earnings of 1994. As discussed below, the primary factors contributing to the 1995 results were lower demand for engine oil additives particularly during the second half of 1995, the U.S. Government trade restrictions regarding sales to certain customers in the Middle East and the inability to maintain profit margins during a period of rising raw material costs.
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenues by Segment (millions) Specialty Chemicals $1,348.8 $1,433.4 $1,525.5 $1,599.0 $1,663.6 Agribusiness $ 127.5 $ 118.9
Consolidated revenues were $1.66 billion, an increase of $64.6 million, or 4%, in 1995 compared with 1994. Price increases implemented in early 1995 and a more favorable product mix increased 1995 revenues by 3% and the translation of various international currencies, which strengthened during the period when compared with the U.S. dollar, increased revenues by 3%. Volume declined 2% from the 1994 level. Sequentially, revenues in the second half of 1995 were 5% lower than the first half due to lower volume (3%) and unfavorable price/product mix (2%). For the year, sales volume declined in 1995 compared with 1994, principally in international markets. North American 2 volume declined less than 1% from 1994. International volume declined 3% mainly because of the cessation of spot business with certain customers in the Middle East due to a U.S. Presidential Order restricting such trade. Excluding from the comparison this 1994 spot business, which occurred during the first half of the year, international volume increased 1% and, worldwide volume in 1995 was even with 1994. Sequentially, volume declined 3% in North America and 4% internationally in the second half compared with the first half of 1995 as demand for engine oil lubricants in North America and Europe weakened, causing lower additive shipment volumes.
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Gross Profit by Segment (millions) Specialty Chemicals $429.9 $451.0 $485.4 $520.7 $532.4 Agribusiness $ 45.7 $ 39.3
Gross profit (sales less cost of sales) increased 2% to $532.4 million in 1995 from $520.7 million in 1994. Despite lower volume, the amount of gross profit increased as higher average selling prices, aided by favorable currency and mix, more than offset an increase in average material cost of 9%, over half of which was due to the effects of currency and mix. However, gross profit as a percent of sales declined to 32.1% in 1995 from 32.7% in 1994 as raw material costs increased faster than selling prices and, combined with slightly higher manufacturing costs and lower volumes, negatively impacted margin percentage. Sequentially, gross profit percentage declined to 30.5% in the second half of 1995 compared with 33.6% in the first half due to the effect of unfavorable price/mix, less favorable currency, higher raw material costs and lower volume. The company's manufacturing rationalization and organizational realignment initiatives, which began in 1993, have slowed the rate of increase in the company's cost and expenses. The company's manufacturing expenses, as well as its selling and administrative expenses, increased 3% in 1995 as compared with 1994. Excluding increases in expenses due to currency translation and an acquisition made during 1995, manufacturing costs and selling and administrative expenses were each level with the 1994 amounts.
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Research Testing & Development by Segment (millions) Specialty Chemicals $127.7 $139.8 $171.5 $165.5 $179.6 Agribusiness $ 16.3 $ 15.0
Research, testing and development expenses (technology expenses) increased 9% to $179.6 million. Technology expenses increased, as anticipated, due to worldwide testing programs for the engine oils, driveline oils and fuel products areas together with a greater emphasis on longer-term strategic research. Product standards change periodically as engine and transmission designs are improved by the equipment manufacturers to meet new emissions, efficiency, durability and other performance factors. As occurred in 1995, these changes influence the timing and amount of annual technology expenses. Primarily as a result of the above factors, total cost and expenses increased $7.0 million more than the increase in total revenues in 1995. The company recorded a charge for asset impairment of $9.5 million ($.10 per share after tax) in the fourth quarter of 1995. This charge related primarily to an intermediate processing unit that became permanently impaired due to a change in product formulation caused by a new industry-wide product specification. The company sold all of its remaining shares of Genentech, Inc. common stock during the first half of 1995 and realized a pretax gain of $38.5 million ($.39 per share after tax). During 1994, the company had a pretax gain on the sale of Genentech common stock of $41.2 million ($.41 per share after tax). Other income - net, was $7.1 million in 1995, compared with $7.3 million in 1994 (see Note 8 to the financial statements). Other income has been impacted by equity losses recognized from the company's investment in Mycogen Corporation and by other transactions involving Mycogen. Mycogen's results are seasonal with the majority of its income recorded in the first half of the calendar year and losses recorded in the second half. The company recorded equity losses from Mycogen of $5.4 million in 1995, compared with equity losses of $.1 million in 1994. In late 1995, the company recognized a noncash gain of $4.5 million, representing an increase in the value of the company's ownership interest in the net assets of Mycogen, when Mycogen issued new common shares to another investor. Interest expense increased $7.2 million in 1995 over 1994 as a result of higher average debt outstanding to meet the requirements of the capital expenditure and share repurchase programs. The average daily balance of total debt outstanding during 1995 was $203 million as compared with $111 million for 1994. The company transacts business in more than 100 countries around the world and has a number of operating facilities in countries outside the United States. As a result, the company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political uncertainty, import and export limitations, 3 exchange controls and currency fluctuations. The company believes risks related to its foreign operations are mitigated due to the political and economic stability of the countries in which its largest foreign operations are located. While changes in the dollar value of foreign currencies will affect earnings from time to time, the longer term economic effect of these changes should not be significant given the company's net asset exposure, currency mix and pricing flexibility. Generally, the income statement effect of changes in the dollar value of foreign currencies is partially or wholly offset by the company's ability to make corresponding price changes in local currency. The company's consolidated net income will generally benefit as foreign currencies increase in value compared with the U.S. dollar and will generally decline as foreign currencies decrease in value. During 1995, the U.S. dollar weakened, primarily against the French franc, German deutsche mark and Japanese yen, when compared with exchange rates in effect during the year 1994. This resulted in 1995 net income being favorably impacted by approximately $.20 per share. As a result of the factors discussed above, income before income taxes decreased 10%, or $25.9 million, from 1994. The company's 1995 effective tax rate was 32.8% as compared with the 1994 rate of 30.2%, which was lower than normal due to charitable donations of appreciated securities made by the company in 1994. After application of the 1995 higher effective tax rate, net income was $151.6 million in 1995, a decrease of 14% or $24.0 million from 1994. Excluding the gains realized from sale of Genentech common stock in 1995 and 1994 and the charge for asset impairment in 1995, net income decreased 11% to $132.8 million in 1995, compared with $148.8 million in 1994. The corresponding earnings per share of $2.08 in 1995 declined 8% compared with $2.26 in 1994. While management progressed in controlling operating expenses during 1995, the lower volume and higher material costs offset the progress the company made in its cost control efforts. The factors impacting the company's business, which accelerated during the second half of 1995, will continue to pressure earnings in 1996. Sales volume in 1996 will also be affected in North America by a new industry specification for passenger car motor oil that requires approximately 10% less additive than the existing specification. This new specification, absent changes in market share, is expected to negatively affect the company's annual volume in North America by 4% (1.5% on worldwide volume) due to the lower additive treat rate. The company has developed additive packages that meet the new specification and expects the majority of its customers will convert to it by the middle of 1996. The company believes future specification changes will likely result in increased additive treat levels from the level in this new specification. Recent market studies completed by the company suggest that worldwide market growth rates for lubricant additives over the next several years are slowing. This worldwide growth rate is made up of slower growth in mature economies such as North America and Western Europe partially offset by higher growth rates in developing regions such as Asia. As a part of the company's growth strategy, increasing resources will be devoted to the Asia-Pacific region in order to realize the opportunities in this higher growth environment. In addition, management has launched initiatives relating to the cost structure of the company, both on a short-term and a long-term basis. A program has been put into place with an objective of maintaining selling, administrative and technology expenses during 1996 at an aggregate level below that of 1995. From a longer term perspective, management is evaluating the overall cost structure of the company, including the role of technology in the company's business and the appropriate level of related investment. Changing priorities of finished lubricant suppliers, along with continued consolidation of additive suppliers, are resulting in many lubricant suppliers seeking opportunities to partner with the stronger additive suppliers. These partnering arrangements are aimed at eliminating redundant cost structures and jointly pursuing business growth in developing regions of the world. The company believes it is well positioned to gain market share from these opportunities and resulting partnering arrangements. 1994 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In 1994, the company achieved record revenues and results of operations. As discussed below, the primary factors contributing to 1994 results were higher average selling prices, lower research, testing and development expenses and better results from agribusiness investments. In 1994, consolidated revenues were $1.6 billion, an increase of $73.5 million or 5% from 1993. This increase was comprised of 4% higher average selling prices, including currency, and 1% volume increases. Average selling prices increased primarily as a result of price increases and new product introductions. The company implemented price increases in the first quarter of 1994 to more fully recover the costs of product technology and the costs resulting from increased requirements of environmental, health and safety regulations 4 at the company's facilities. Higher performing products, which carry higher selling prices, were introduced late in 1993 to meet new passenger car motor oil standards in the U.S. markets. Gross profit increased 7% to $520.7 million in 1994 from $485.4 million in 1993. The improvement in gross profit was primarily attributable to the positive effects of implementing selling price increases, new product introductions and growth from business development activities. These improvements were partially offset by higher material costs in the second half of the year and higher manufacturing costs. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 32.7% in 1994 from 32.0% in 1993. Raw material prices increased during the last half of 1994, and at year-end were approximately 7% higher than the prior year. Additionally, plant operating costs to comply with changing environmental, health and safety regulations increased during 1994. The company was able to manage the near-term impact of the higher raw material costs through operating expense control. Selling and administrative expenses increased less than 1% to $159.5 million in 1994. This increase was significantly lower than the company's previous historical cost trend because of lower legal expenses and a decline in the number of employees as a result of early retirements related to the company's realignment initiative. Research, testing and development expenses decreased $6.1 million or 4% to $165.5 million in 1994. This decrease was primarily attributable to completion in early 1994 of testing required for passenger car motor oil specification upgrades, the decline in the number of employees resulting from realignment and increased efficiencies in the product development process. Primarily as a result of the above factors, consolidated revenues increased $38.8 million more than the increase in total costs and expenses in 1994. The company continued its program of selling its investment in Genentech common stock. During 1994 and 1993, respectively, the company sold shares of Genentech common stock resulting in pretax gains of $41.2 million and $42.4 million. Other income-net increased $6.8 million primarily due to improved equity earnings from the company's investment in Mycogen, including its agribusiness joint venture, net of a gain on the sale of an agribusiness investment in 1993. As discussed previously, the company conducts a significant amount of its business outside of the United States and is, therefore, subject to certain related risks including currency fluctuations. In 1994, there was not a significant net earnings effect due to foreign currency fluctuations. As a result of the above factors and a decrease in interest expense, consolidated income before taxes increased $131.8 million from 1993. Excluding the gain on the sales of Genentech stock and the 1993 special charge, income before taxes increased $46.7 million or 29% from 1993. The company made donations of Genentech common stock during 1994 (see Note 8 to the financial statements) which reduced the company's 1994 effective tax rate by 2%. This benefit is nonrecurring. Excluding gains on the sales of Genentech common stock and the 1993 special charge and accounting changes (discussed below), net income was $148.8 million in 1994 compared with $113.5 million in 1993, and the related earnings per share amounts improved by 35% to $2.26 in 1994 from $1.67 in 1993. 1993 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In 1993, consolidated revenues increased $61.9 million or 4% from 1992 after excluding $88.6 million of Agrigenetics revenue in 1992. Selling prices increased 4% as a result of price increases implemented in the fourth quarter of 1992 and the introduction late in 1993 of higher performing products to meet new passenger car motor oil standards in the U.S. market. Favorable product mix (including sales by Langer & Company acquired early in 1993) of 3% was offset by unfavorable currency effects of 2% and volume decreases of 1%. North American volume decreased 9% in 1993 from the record levels of volume in 1992 as a result of a decrease in market share. The revenue impact of this volume decrease was offset by an increase in sales of more profitable products. International volume increased 6% over 1992 and accounts for approximately 60% of revenues. Gross profit increased $30.4 million or 7% from $455.0 million in 1992 (excluding $35.3 million of Agrigenetics gross profit in 1992) primarily as a result of the higher average selling prices. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 32.0% in 1993 compared with 31.2% (excluding Agrigenetics) in 1992. Excluding Agrigenetics expenses of $29.1 million in 1992, selling and administrative expenses increased $6.3 million or 4% in 1993 primarily because of the acquisition of Langer. Technology expenses increased $30.3 million or 21% in 1993 after excluding Agrigenetics expenses of $13.5 million from 1992. This increase was a result of higher testing costs associated with customer test programs to meet new industry performance standards for passenger car and diesel engine oils and automatic transmission fluids. As a result of the above factors and increased royalties, after excluding Agrigenetics from 1992, total cost and ex- 5 penses increased $5.9 million more than revenues increased in 1993. During 1993, the company recorded a special pretax charge of $86.3 million and pretax gains of $42.4 million on the sale of Genentech common stock as discussed above. Other income-net was $.5 million in 1993, compared with $11.9 million in 1992. Other income includes the company's share of equity losses in Mycogen and the agribusiness joint venture. Mycogen recorded restructuring charges and incurred weather-related problems in the Midwest which adversely affected agribusiness results. The reduction in other income was attributable to increased equity losses of $18.3 million in Mycogen and the agribusiness joint venture, partially offset by increased gains on the sale of investments, excluding Genentech, of $6.7 million. Interest income decreased $3.2 million due to lower average balances of cash and short-term investments. An increase in borrowings resulted in slightly higher interest expense in 1993. In 1993, European currencies weakened and the Japanese yen strengthened resulting in an insignificant net earnings effect. As a result of the above factors, income before income taxes decreased $57.5 million in 1993 compared with 1992. Net income in 1993, excluding the special charge, Genentech gain and the accounting changes discussed below, decreased 9% to $113.5 million or $1.67 per share, from $124.6 million or $1.81 per share in 1992. As described in Note 11 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The company recorded the cumulative effect of this accounting change of $79.9 million before taxes ($51.5 million or $.76 per common share after taxes) in the first quarter of 1993. As a result of this accounting change, postretirement health care and life insurance costs increased $8.1 million ($.08 per share after taxes) in 1993. This expense is allocated among the various cost and expense categories in the consolidated statements of income. SFAS 106 has no effect on cash flows since the company continues to pay claims as incurred. As described in Note 9 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1993, the company also adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of this accounting change reduced net deferred tax liabilities and increased net income in 1993 by $12.1 million or $.18 per share. The positive effect of adopting SFAS 109 was primarily attributable to more favorable treatment of the deferred income taxes on intercompany profit in inventory. SFAS 109 has no effect on cash flows. RETURN ON AVERAGE SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Return on average shareholders' equity was 18% in 1995, 22% in 1994 and 6% in 1993. Excluding Genentech gains from each year, the 1995 asset impairment charge and the 1993 special charge and accounting changes, return on average shareholders' equity was 16% in 1995, 19% in 1994 and 14% in 1993.

(Excluding Genentech gains, the 1995 asset impairment charge and the 1993 special charge and accounting changes) WORKING CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The company's cash flows for the years 1993 through 1995 are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash provided from operating activities during 1995 was $187.4 million or 19% greater than the $156.8 million gener- ated in 1994. This increase is primarily attributable to a positive change in the excess of cash received from customers over the amount paid to suppliers and employees and a lower amount of income taxes paid due to the timing of payments and lower income earned in 1995, which was somewhat offset by higher working capital requirements.
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Cash Provided from Operating Activities (millions) Cash Provided $192.1 $135.2 $162.5 $156.8 $187.4
Net cash outflow from investing activities was $149.0 million in 1995, an increase of $31.8 million primarily due to higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $189.3 million during 1995, an increase of 18% over 1994. Capital expenditures were made primarily at facilities in the United States and France. Approximately 70% of the 1995 capital expenditures pertained to manufacturing plants to enhance or maintain production capabilities, including maintaining facilities in compliance with environmental and safety regulations. 6 In 1995, capital spending for environmental and safety projects was $37 million, which was substantially higher than the approximate $20 million spent in both 1994 and 1993, due to the timing as to the completion of various projects. The remaining 30% of capital expenditures was largely for construction of new technical and administrative facilities at the company's headquarters. Capital spending declined from $106.0 million in the first half to $83.3 million in the second half of 1995 due to the completion of several major projects. Future capital spending will decline from the peak levels of 1995 and is expected to be lower than $140 million for 1996. Over the past several years the company has periodically sold shares of its investment in Genentech common stock into the open market. During the first half of 1995, the company sold all of its remaining shares of Genentech common stock and received proceeds of $40.2 million. Proceeds from the sale of Genentech common stock were $43.6 million in 1994 and $44.5 million in 1993. In addition, proceeds from sale of investments in 1993 included $17.0 million from the sale and redemption of portions of the company's agribusiness investments. In June 1995, the company publicly issued $100 million of 7.25% debentures due at the end of 30 years. The net proceeds from this debt issuance were used to repay a portion of the commercial paper borrowings then outstanding. The percent of total debt to capitalization (shareholders' equity plus short-term and long-term debt) was 23% at December 31, 1995, compared with 17% at December 31, 1994. Management plans to maintain the percentage of debt to capitalization within a range of 20 to 25 percent to leverage its financial strength while still retaining financial flexibility for future opportunities.
1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Capitalization (millions) Equity $794.5 $819.4 $732.2 $832.0 $849.0 Total Debt $ 67.8 $ 48.4 $ 69.6 $167.9 $247.1
The company maintains an active share repurchase program and at December 31, 1995, had 3.0 million shares remaining under its current share repurchase authorizations. During the past three years, the net proceeds from the sale of Genentech common stock and a portion of cash generated from operations were used to repurchase common shares of the company. The company has expended $66.6 million, $68.3 million and $67.1 million during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, to repurchase approximately 9% of its shares outstanding over the past three years. During 1996, the company's share repurchase program will consist of shares repurchased with approximately $110 million of net cash proceeds realized from the sale of its Mycogen investment as discussed below. Primarily as a result of these activities and the payment of dividends, total debt, net of cash and short-term investments, increased $85.0 million from December 31, 1994 to $216.5 million at December 31, 1995. The company remains in a strong financial position. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remained relatively constant at 2.4:1 at December 31, 1995 compared with 2.5:1 at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, the company had unused revolving credit agreements and other credit lines aggregating $95 million. As described in Note 5 to the financial statements, the company has the ability to refinance on a long-term basis $56.6 million of its outstanding commercial paper under existing revolving credit agreements. Management believes the company's credit facilities and internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet its future capital needs. The company is involved in patent litigation with Exxon Corporation in various countries. In September 1995, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., overturned a Houston, Texas, jury verdict that the company had infringed an Exxon patent pertaining to an oil soluble copper additive component and entered judgment in favor of the company as a matter of law. This ruling also vacated an injunction and overturned a $129 million judgment entered against the company in February 1994. In February 1996, the same court in Washington, D.C., denied Exxon's request for rehearing. The company does not know whether Supreme Court review will be sought by Exxon or whether the Supreme Court would grant any such review. In a separate patent case in Canada, liability against Exxon and in favor of the company has been made by the Canadian court. However, a reasonable estimation of the company's potential recovery for damages can not be made at this time as the outcome of the appeals process for the award to the company of $15 million (Canadian) in penalty damages and the determination of the compensation damages by the Canadian courts is pending. Refer to Note 18 to the financial statements for further information regarding litigation with Exxon. One of management's initiatives involved the continued restructuring of the company's Agribusiness investments. On February 20, 1996, the company sold all of its investment in 7 Mycogen Corporation to DowElanco for cash of $126.2 million, completing the divestiture of its agribusiness assets other than those relating to the specialty vegetable oil operations. The net cash proceeds from this sale, after taxes and related transaction costs, approximate $110 million. Also, on January 15, 1996, the company sold certain rights in its SVO oil seed technology to Mycogen for $8.0 million, of which $2.0 million was paid in January 1996, $2.5 million is payable in January 1997 and $3.5 million is payable in January 1998.

The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of these statements. 12 Notes To Financial Statements (In Thousands of Dollars Unless Otherwise Indicated) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Lubrizol Corporation is a full service supplier of performance chemicals to diverse markets worldwide. These specialty chemical products are created through the application of advanced chemical and mechanical technologies to enhance the performance, quality and value of the products in which they are used. The company develops, produces and sells specialty additive systems for gasoline and diesel engine lubricating oils, for automatic transmission fluids and for gear oils and marine and tractor lubricants. The company also supplies specialty products for industrial lubricants and functional fluids, fuel additives and diversified specialty chemical products. The company's sales and receivables are concentrated in the oil and chemical industries. The company's additive customers consist primarily of oil refiners and independent oil blenders and are located in more than 100 countries. Approximately 60% of the company's sales are made to customers outside of North America. The ten largest customers, most of which are international oil companies and a number of which are groups of affiliated entities, comprised approximately 44% of consolidated sales in 1995, 45% in 1994 and 44% in 1993. Although the largest single group each year accounted for 10% of sales in 1995 and 9% in 1994 and 1993, these customers are made up of a number of separate entities that the company believes make independent purchasing decisions. NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Lubrizol Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. For nonconsolidated companies (affiliates), the equity method of accounting is used when ownership, unless temporary, exceeds 20% and when the company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the policies of the investee. Other affiliates are carried at cost or fair market value (see Note 4). ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions pending completion of related events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported at the date of the financial statements for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTING CHANGES - Effective January 1, 1993, the company changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 106 (see Note 11) and its method of accounting for income taxes to conform with SFAS 109 (see Note 9). The cumulative effect at adoption of these changes in accounting principles, net of tax, is separately reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Effective January 1, 1994, the company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in marketable securities to conform to SFAS 115 (see Note 4). CASH EQUIVALENTS - The company generally invests its excess cash in short-term investments with various banks and financial institutions. Short-term investments are cash equivalents as they are part of the cash management activities of the company and are comprised primarily of investments having maturities when purchased of less than three months. INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at cost which is not in excess of market. Cost of inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method in the United States and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method elsewhere. The average cost method is used for inventories of specialty vegetable oil. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Accelerated depreciation methods are used in computing depreciation on certain machinery and equipment which comprise approximately 40% of the depreciable assets. The remaining assets are depreciated using the straight-line method, including all machinery and equipment placed in service after January 1, 1993. The estimated useful lives are 10 to 40 years for buildings and land improvements and range from 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Amortization of intangible and other assets is on a straight-line method over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years. For income tax purposes, different methods and rates are used in certain instances. RESEARCH, TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT - Research, testing and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development expenses, excluding testing, were 13 $104.9 million, $90.7 million and $88.5 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Operating results are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. Net unrealized translation gains (losses) are recorded as a component of other shareholders' equity and totaled $2,982, $(9,722) and $(31,863) at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. PER SHARE AMOUNTS - Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per share has not been adjusted for the effect of stock options as the dilution effect would be less than 3% in any year. NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories on the LIFO method were 26% and 27% of consolidated inventories at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The current replacement cost of these inventories exceeded the LIFO cost at December 31, 1995 and 1994, by $51.0 million and $49.9 million, respectively. NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN NONCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES
1995 1994 -------- -------- Investments carried at equity ................ $ 60,029 $ 60,523 Investments carried at cost .................. 40,626 37,890 Investments classified as available-for-sale ......................... 39,600 -------- -------- $100,655 $138,013 ======== ========
Included within investments carried at equity is the company's common stock investment in Mycogen Corporation and Agrigenetics Inc. (AGI), a joint venture between the company and Mycogen, which have a book carrying value of $40.3 million at December 31, 1995. The company's investment in Mycogen Series A Preferred Stock is included in investments carried at cost in the amount of $31.5 million, including preferred dividends, at December 31, 1995. (Refer to Note 16 for subsequent event related to sale of these investments.) The company also holds investments in nonconsolidated companies, including certain investments in securities of publicly traded companies that are accounted for on the cost basis due to restrictions placed on such securities. These marketable investments have quoted market values which exceed the book carrying values by $1.1 million at December 31, 1995. The company's investment in Genentech Inc. redeemable common stock comprised substantially all of its investments classified as available-for-sale. Over the past several years the company periodically sold its shares of Genentech common stock into the open market. During the first half of 1995, the company sold all of its remaining shares of Genentech common stock and received proceeds of $40.2 million, generating gross realized gains of $38.5 million. Sales of Genentech common stock generated proceeds of $43.6 million and $44.5 million and gross realized gains of $41.2 million and $42.4 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. On an after-tax basis these gains contributed $.39 per share in 1995 and $.41 per share in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The company determined the gross realized gains using the average cost method. At December 31, 1994, investments classified as available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $39.6 million resulting in gross unrealized gains of $36.2 million and unrealized losses of $.6 million which increased shareholders' equity by $23.2 million after tax.

14 On June 26, 1995, the company publicly issued debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The debentures are unsecured, senior obligations of the company that mature on June 15, 2025, and bear interest at an annualized rate of 7.25% payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. Commercial paper debt is due within one year. The company has credit facilities, which were unused at December 31, 1995, aggregating $95 million, including $75 million in committed revolving credit agreements which would permit the company to borrow at or below the U.S. prime rate. These facilities permit the company to refinance for a period beyond one year the Marine Terminal Refunding Revenue Bonds, whose bondholders have the right to put the bonds back to the company, and $56.6 million of commercial paper outstanding. Accordingly, the company has classified these balances as long-term debt. Amounts due on long-term debt are $20.2 million in 1996, $2.5 million in 1997, $11.6 million in 1998, $3.4 million in 1999, $75.5 million in 2000, which includes $56.6 million of commercial paper, and $101.4 million thereafter. The company has an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts floating rate interest payable on $18.4 million of Marine Terminal Refunding Revenue Bonds due July 1, 2000, to a fixed rate of 6.5%. In addition, during 1995, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements that convert $50 million of variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate of 7.6% for up to 10 years. Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized, amounted to $9.8 million, $3.0 million and $3.9 million during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The company capitalizes interest on qualifying capital projects. The amount of interest capitalized during 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $4.3 million, $3.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

15 NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY The company has 147 million authorized shares consisting of 2 million shares of Serial Preferred Stock, 25 million shares of Serial Preference Shares and 120 million Common Shares, each of which is without par value. The outstanding Common Shares shown on the balance sheets exclude Common Shares held in treasury of 23,244,606 and 21,351,334 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The company has a shareholder rights plan under which one right to buy one-half Common Share has been distributed for each Common Share held. The rights may become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential acquisitions of 20% or more of the Common Shares by a person or affiliated persons who acquire such stock without complying with the requirements of the company's articles of incorporation. The rights would entitle shareholders, other than such person or affiliated persons, to purchase Common Shares of the company or of certain acquiring persons at 50% of then current market value. At the option of the directors, the rights may be exchanged for Common Shares, and may be redeemed in cash, securities or other consideration. The rights will expire in 1997 unless earlier redeemed. Under another shareholder rights plan, each holder of Common Shares has one right to buy shares of Serial Preferred Stock for each Common Share held. The rights may become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential acquisitions of 20% or more of the company's Common Shares by a person or affiliated persons. The rights would entitle shareholders, other than such person or affiliated persons, to purchase shares of Serial Preferred Stock at the purchase price of one dollar plus 25 rights per share. The dividend and redemption value of the Serial Preferred Stock would be determined in relation to after-tax amounts which have been or may be recovered by the company from Exxon or its affiliates as a result of certain patent claims. The rights will expire in November 1996 unless earlier redeemed. NOTE 8 - OTHER INCOME Other income - net consists of the following:

The gain (loss) pertaining to activity with Mycogen Corporation (see Note 16), reflected within the above table of other income, amounted to $.6 million in 1995, $1.4 million in 1994 and $(5.8) million in 1993. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS 109, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the company's financial statements and tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109 generally considers all expected future events other than changes in tax laws or rates not yet enacted. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 at January 1, 1993, increased net income by $12.1 million, or $.18 per share. Income before income taxes consists of the following:

16 Foreign taxes include withholding taxes. The United States tax provision includes the U.S. tax on foreign income distributed to the company. U.S. and foreign income tax rate changes occurring during the periods presented did not have a material effect on the company's provision for income taxes. The differences between the provision for income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate and the tax shown in the consolidated statements of income are summarized as follows:

At December 31, 1995, certain foreign subsidiaries have net operating loss carry forwards of $21.4 million for income tax purposes, of which $11.6 million expires in years 1997 through 2000 and $9.8 million has no expiration. After evaluating tax planning strategies and historical and projected profitability, a valuation allowance of $3.6 million has been recognized in 1995 to reduce the deferred tax assets related to those carryforwards to the amount expected to be realized. U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the operations of such subsidiaries. The amount of such earnings was approximately $320.2 million at December 31, 1995. Determination of the net amount of unrecognized U.S. income tax with respect to these earnings is not practicable. Income taxes paid during 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $56.9 million, $70.9 million and $61.2 million, respectively. NOTE 10 - PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS The company has retirement plans, including noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and a profit sharing plan, covering most employees in the United States and at non-U.S. subsidiaries. Pension benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation. The company's funding policy in the United States is to contribute amounts to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service funding standards and elsewhere to fund amounts in accordance with local regulations. Several defined benefit plans are unfunded. Plan assets are invested principally in marketable equity securities and fixed income instruments. Expense for all retirement plans was $20.7 million in 1995, $24.1 million in 1994 and $25.1 million in 1993, including profit sharing contributions in the U.S. of $4.4 million in 1995, $5.7 million in 1994 and $3.8 million in 1993. Net periodic pension cost of U.S. and significant international defined benefit plans consists of:
1995 1994 1993 -------- -------- -------- Service cost - benefits earned during period ............ $ 10,089 $ 11,454 $ 10,107 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation .............. 17,804 16,769 16,115 Actual return on plan assets .....................

17 Net periodic pension cost for 1993 reflects higher charges resulting from the company's realignment and early retirement programs accounted for in the special charge (see Note 17). The weighted average assumptions used at December 31 were:
1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Discount rate for determining funded status ................... 7.3% 8.2% 7.2% Compensation increase ............. 4.8% 5.2% 5.1% Return on plan assets ............. 8.8% 8.6% 8.5%

NOTE 11 - POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE The company provides certain postretirement benefits other than pensions, primarily health care, for retired employees. Currently, substantially all of the company's full-time employees in the U.S. become eligible for these benefits after attaining specified years of service and age 55 at retirement. Participants contribute a portion of the cost of such benefits. The company's postretirement health care plans are not funded. Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS 106 which requires the company to accrue the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments during the years the employee provides services. The company elected to immediately recognize the cumulative effect at January 1, 1993 of this change in accounting principle and recorded a liability for the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $79.9 million, an increase in deferred income tax assets of $28.4 million and a decrease in net income of $51.5 million ($.76 per share). The status of the U.S. health care plans at December 31 is as follows:
1995 1994 --------- ------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations: Retirees ...................................... $ 27,915 $33,778 Fully eligible active plan participants ........................... 16,104 16,941 Other active plan participants ................ 20,004 18,724 --------- ------- Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation .......................... 64,023 69,443 Unrecognized net (loss) gain .................. (3,503) 7,949 Unrecognized net reduction in prior service costs ......................... 40,274 20,036 --------- ------- Accrued postretirement health care costs ........................... $ 100,794 $97,428 ========= =======
In late 1994, the company amended its U.S. health care plan, including several changes with effective dates into the future. These amendments changed eligibility requirements and changed the cost sharing provisions of the plan by indexing deductibles and co-payments and introducing a cap on the company's share of future premium costs. These changes reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1994, by $20.0 million. In 1995, the company incorporated assumptions within its health care plan regarding participation in Medicare Risk HMO plans for its current and future retirees, which reduced the company's postretirement benefit obligation by $21.9 million. These reductions in prior service cost do not immediately reduce the accrued postretirement liability, but are amortized as a reduction of expense over the participant's average future service period to full eligibility (approximately 13 years). 18 The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 9.75% in 1995 (10.50% in 1994), with subsequent annual decrements of .75% to an ultimate trend rate of 6%. A one-percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate for each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately 16% and net postretirement benefit cost by approximately 22%. The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.50% and 8.75% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net postretirement health care cost consists of the following components for the company's U.S. plans:
1995 1994 1993 ------- ------- ------ Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 1,361 $ 2,916 $2,620 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 6,066 7,131 6,724 Amortization of unrecognized net gains (1,766) ------- ------- ------ Net postretirement health care cost $ 5,661 $10,047 $9,344 ======= ======= ======
The company also provides postretirement health care benefits at several of its international locations. Accumulated benefits and net postretirement health care costs for these locations were not significant. NOTE 12 - LEASES The company has commitments under operating leases primarily for office space, terminal facilities, land, railroad tank cars and various office equipment. Rental expense was $19.5 million in 1995, $19.3 million in 1994 and $19.0 million in 1993. Future minimum rental commitments under operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms exceeding one year are $12.8 million in 1996, $6.8 million in 1997, $5.1 million in 1998, $3.0 million in 1999, $2.5 million in 2000 and $23.2 million thereafter.

19 Export sales from the United States to customers, primarily in Latin America and Asia in 1995 and also in the Middle East for 1994 and 1993, were $138 million, $139 million and $119 million, respectively. Net assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $446 million and $388 million, respectively. Net income of these subsidiaries was $52 million in 1995, $55 million in 1994 and $42 million in 1993; and dividends received from the subsidiaries were $7 million, $8 million and $34 million, respectively. NOTE 14 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The company has various financial instruments, including cash and short-term investments, investments in nonconsolidated companies, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and short- and long-term debt. The company has determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments by using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The company believes the carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values, except for certain investments in marketable securities (see Note 4) and certain interest rate swaps discussed below. The company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage well-defined foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks, as described below. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The company is exposed to the effect of changes in foreign currency rates on its earnings and cash flow as a result of doing business internationally. In addition to working capital management, pricing and sourcing, the company selectively uses foreign currency forward contracts to lessen the potential effect of these changes. Such contracts are generally in connection with transactions with maturities of up to one year. The maximum amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at any one time was $16.6 million in 1995 and $25.7 million in 1994. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in the statement of income, or in the case of transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments, in the cumulative translation adjustment account in other shareholders' equity. Additionally, foreign currency forward contract gains and losses on certain future transactions may be deferred until the future transaction is recorded. The company had no deferred currency gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, the company had short-term forward contracts to sell currencies at various dates during 1996 for $2.2 million. The company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert floating rate debt to fixed rates (see Note 5). The company would pay approximately $9.2 million if it had terminated these interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 1995. The company also uses commodity futures contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in raw material costs for its specialty vegetable oils. Realized gains and losses on these commodity future contracts are included in inventory cost. NOTE 15 - STOCK OPTIONS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS 123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which is effective for the company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS 123 encourages the fair-value based method of accounting for stock compensation plans under which the value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using valuation formulas, but permits the continuance of intrinsic-value accounting (measured as the difference between the option exercise price and the market value of the stock at date of grant). The company will continue to use intrinsic-value accounting for stock-based compensation. The 1991 Stock Incentive Plan provides for granting of options to buy Common Shares intended either to qualify as "incentive stock options" under the Internal Revenue Code or "non-statutory stock options" not intended to so qualify, up to an amount equal to one percent of the outstanding Common Shares at the beginning of any year, plus any unused amount from prior years. Under the 1991 Plan, options generally become exercisable 50% one year after grant, 75% after two years, 100% after three years, and expire up to ten years after grant. "Reload options," which are options to purchase additional shares if a grantee uses already-owned shares to pay for an option exercise, are granted automatically under the 1991 Plan and may be granted in the discretion of the administering committee under the 1985 Employee Stock Option Plan. The 1991 Plan generally supersedes the 1985 Plan, although options outstanding under the 1985 Plan remain exercisable until the expiration dates. The option price under both plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Both plans permit or permitted the granting of stock appreciation rights in connection with the grant of options, and the 1991 Plan also permits the grant of restricted and unrestricted shares. In addition, the 1991 Plan provides to each outside 20 director of the company an automatic annual grant of an option to purchase 2,000 Common Shares, with terms generally comparable to employee stock options. Information regarding these option plans is as follows:

The 1985 Plan options expire June 1996 to February 2005, with an average option price of $25.50. The 1991 Plan options expire April 2001 to April 2005, with an average option price of $33.86. NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH MYCOGEN Subsequent Events Pursuant to a definitive agreement to sell all of its interest in Mycogen Corporation (Note 4) to DowElanco for $126.2 million in cash, on January 15, 1996, the company exchanged its remaining interest in AGI and all of its Mycogen Series A Preferred Stock into Mycogen Common Stock. This action, together with common shares previously owned, increased the company's ownership of the outstanding common shares of Mycogen from 27% to 37%. Due to this pending sale and the company assigning certain shareholder rights to DowElanco until the sale was completed, the company suspended using the equity method of accounting for its investment in Mycogen. On February 20, 1996, the sale of the company's interest in Mycogen to DowElanco was completed, and the company realized a pretax gain of approximately $50 million, after transaction and other related costs. In addition, on January 15, 1996, the company sold certain rights to its SVO oil seed technology to Mycogen for $8.0 million; of which $2.0 million was collected in January 1996 with $2.5 million due in January 1997 and $3.5 million due January 1998. Transactions with Mycogen As described below, the company has completed several transactions with Mycogen Corporation related to the company's former Agribusiness assets. In December 1992, the company transferred certain Agribusiness assets to Mycogen in exchange for 2,294,590 shares of Mycogen Common Stock and $39.4 million par value Series A Preferred Stock which earned dividends at 5% per year. The remainder of the company's Agribusiness assets plus cash of $4.6 million, and exclusive of specialty vegetable operations, were transferred to a separate joint venture (AGI) with Mycogen, of which the company retained a 49% interest. On December 1, 1993, Mycogen mandatorily redeemed $10.0 million of the Preferred Stock for cash. On December 31, 1993, the company sold 30% of AGI to Mycogen in exchange for $7.0 million in cash and 2 million shares of Mycogen Common Stock. On December 13, 1995, Mycogen issued new shares of its common stock at a price which exceeded the company's carrying amount per share of Mycogen Common Stock. The company's ownership percentage in Mycogen was diluted, and the company recognized in other income a noncash gain of $4.5 million, which represents the increase in the value of the company's ownership interest in the net assets of Mycogen. At December 31, 1995, the company owned approximately 27% of Mycogen Common Stock and 19% of AGI Common Stock with a book carrying value aggregating $40.3 million. In addition, the company's investment in Mycogen Series A Preferred Stock has a book carrying value at December 31, 1995, of $31.5 million, including accumulated preferred dividends. 21 NOTE 17 - SPECIAL CHARGE AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT The company recorded a special charge of $86.3 million ($.83 per share after tax) in the third quarter of 1993 in connection with manufacturing rationalization and organizational realignment initiatives. When complete, these initiatives will have reduced the number of the company's production units by approximately one-third, and approximately 5% of the employees will have left the company through early retirement programs or attrition. The manufacturing rationalization plan will be substantially complete near the end of 1996 and through consolidation is resulting in cost savings from a reduced number of employees, lower operating costs and fewer manufacturing units used to produce intermediate products. Approximately $48 million of the special charge relates to the manufacturing rationalization of which $25 million relates to asset write-downs, including $16 million for the shutdown of manufacturing units used to produce intermediate products. The remainder of the manufacturing rationalization portion of the special charge relates to expected employee reduction at manufacturing locations through early retirements, equipment cleanup and dismantling, employee relocation and other transitional costs. The organizational realignment relates to the consolidation of the company's nonmanufacturing activities. This portion of the special charge is approximately $38 million and includes $17 million for employee early retirement and relocation. The remainder of this portion of the special charge relates to asset write-downs of $15 million, primarily in the company's Agribusiness investments and accruals for transitional costs. Through December 31, 1995, the company has completed approximately 75% of the production unit reductions and 90% of the employee reductions under these initiatives. At December 31, 1995, $22.7 million remains in the special charge. Cash outlays related to the special charge were approximately $14 million in 1995, $18 million in 1994 and $4 million in 1993. Included in liabilities at December 31, 1995, are future cash outlays of $9 million, primarily for employee reductions and lease terminations. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the company recorded a charge of $9.5 million for the write-down of assets. This charge is primarily related to an intermediate processing unit that became permanently impaired due to product formulation changes caused by a new industry-wide specification. NOTE 18 - LITIGATION In November 1993, a federal court jury in Houston, Texas, awarded Exxon Corporation $48 million in damages in a patent case brought, in 1989, against the company. The damages award related to a December 1992 verdict that the company willfully infringed an Exxon patent pertaining to an oil soluble copper additive component. In February 1994, the trial court judge doubled the damages amount and awarded prejudgment interest, court costs and additional attorneys' fees to Exxon. The total amount of the judgment, including previously awarded attorneys' fees, was $129 million. In September 1995, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., which has jurisdiction over all patent cases, overturned the jury verdict that the company infringed the Exxon patent and entered judgment in favor of the company as a matter of law. The ruling also vacated an injunction against the company and the $129 million judgment. In February, 1996, the same court in Washington, D.C., denied Exxon's request for rehearing. The company does not know whether Supreme Court review will be sought by Exxon or whether the Supreme Court would grant any such review. The company's management continues to believe that it has not infringed the Exxon patent, that the patent is invalid, and that no portion of the overturned judgment will be reinstated. Therefore, no amount related to the matter has been recorded in the company's financial statements. The company has prevailed in a separate case brought in Canada against Exxon's Canadian affiliate, Imperial Oil, Ltd., for infringement of the company's patent pertaining to dispersant, the largest additive component used in motor oils. A 1990 trial court verdict in favor of the company regarding the issue of liability was upheld by the Federal Court of Appeals of Canada in December 1992, and in October 1993, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed Imperial Oil's appeal of the Court of Appeals' decision. The case has returned to the trial court for an assessment of damages. In October 1994, the trial court judge awarded the company $15 million (Canadian) in special penalty damages, plus attorneys' fees, against Imperial Oil for disregarding an earlier injunction for the manufacture or sale of the dispersant which is the subject of this case. Imperial Oil commenced proceedings to appeal the award of penalty damages. The company has not reflected the award of penalty damages within its financial statements pending the outcome of the appeal process. The penalty damages are in addition to compensation damages, as to which no date has been set for a determination. A reasonable estimation of the company's potential recovery for compensation damages cannot be made at this time. 22 Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)
