EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis Of Financial Statement Preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the corporation's
2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the corporation, the
information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported
herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for
under the "successful efforts" method.
2. Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (FAS 143), "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". FAS 143 is required to be adopted by the
corporation no later than January 1, 2003 and its primary impact will be
to change the method of accruing for upstream site restoration costs.
These costs are currently accrued ratably over the productive lives of the
assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 19 (FAS 19), "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas
Producing Companies". At the end of 2001, the cumulative amount accrued
under this policy was approximately $3.2 billion. Under FAS 143, the fair
value of asset retirement obligations will be recorded as liabilities when
they are incurred, which are typically at the time the assets are
installed. Amounts recorded for the related assets will be increased by
the amount of these obligations. Over time the liabilities will be
accreted for the change in their present value and the initial capitalized
costs will be depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets.
While the corporation continues to evaluate the impact of adopting
FAS 143, preliminary estimates indicate that the cumulative adjustment for
the change in accounting principle will result in after-tax income in the
range of $500 million to $700 million as of January 1, 2003. This
adjustment is due to the difference in the method of accruing site
restoration costs under FAS 143 compared with the method required by
FAS 19, the accounting standard that the corporation has been required to
follow since 1978. Under FAS 19, site restoration costs are accrued on a
unit-of-production basis of accounting as the oil and gas is produced. The
FAS 19 method matches the accruals with the revenues generated from
production and results in most of the costs being accrued in early field
life, when production is at the highest level. Because FAS 143 requires
accretion of the liability as a result of the passage of time using an
interest method of allocation, the majority of the costs will be accrued
towards the end of field life, when production is at the lowest level. The
cumulative income adjustment described above results from reversing the
higher liability accumulated under FAS 19 in order to adjust it to the
lower amount resulting from transition to FAS 143. This amount being
reversed in transition, which was previously charged to operating earnings
under FAS 19, will again be charged to those earnings under FAS 143 in
future years. Because of the long periods over which these costs will be
charged, the impact on future annual net income of these increased charges
will be immaterial.

3. Merger of Exxon Corporation and Mobil Corporation
On November 30, 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon Corporation
merged with Mobil Corporation so that Mobil became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Exxon (the "Merger"). At the same time, Exxon changed its
name to Exxon Mobil Corporation. The Merger was accounted for as a pooling
of interests.
In the third quarter of 2002, in association with the Merger, $129 million
of before tax costs ($85 million after tax) were recorded as merger
related expenses, including costs for rationalization of facilities and
systems. In the third quarter of 2001, merger related costs were
$145 million before tax ($140 million after tax). For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, merger related expenses totaled $253 million
before tax ($175 million after tax). For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, merger related expenses totaled $433 million before
tax ($325 million after tax).
The severance reserve balance at the end of the third quarter of 2002 is
expected to be expended in 2002 and 2003. The following table summarizes
the activity in the severance reserve for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002:

4. Extraordinary Gain
Third quarter 2002 and 2001 results included no extraordinary gains.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, included no
extraordinary gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the net
after tax gain from asset management activities and required asset
divestitures totaled $215 million (including an income tax credit of
$21 million), or $0.03 per common share. These net gains from asset
management activities in the chemicals segment and from required asset
divestitures have been reported as extraordinary items in accordance with
accounting requirements for business combinations accounted for as a
pooling of interests.
5. Litigation and Other Contingencies
A number of lawsuits, including class actions, were brought in various
courts against Exxon Mobil Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries
relating to the accidental release of crude oil from the tanker Exxon
Valdez in 1989. The vast majority of the claims have been resolved leaving
a few compensatory damages cases to be tried. All of the punitive damage
claims were consolidated in the civil trial that began in May 1994.
In that trial, on September 24, 1996, the United States District Court for
the District of Alaska entered a judgment in the amount of $5.058 billion.
The District Court awarded approximately $19.6 million in compensatory
damages to fisher plaintiffs, $38 million in prejudgment interest on the
compensatory damages and $5 billion in punitive damages to a class
composed of all persons and entities who asserted claims for punitive
damages from the corporation as a result of the Exxon Valdez grounding.
The District Court also ordered that these awards shall bear interest from
and after entry of the judgment. The District Court stayed execution on
the
-7-
judgment pending appeal based on a $6.75 billion letter of credit posted
by the corporation. ExxonMobil appealed the judgment. On November 7, 2001,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated the
punitive damage award as being excessive under the Constitution and
remanded the case to the District Court for it to determine the amount of
the punitive damage award consistent with the Ninth Circuit's holding. The
Ninth Circuit upheld the compensatory damage award which has been paid.
The letter of credit was terminated on February 1, 2002.
On January 29, 1997, a settlement agreement was concluded resolving all
remaining matters between the corporation and various insurers arising
from the Valdez accident. Under terms of this settlement, ExxonMobil
received $480 million. Final income statement recognition of this
settlement continues to be deferred in view of uncertainty regarding the
ultimate cost to the corporation of the Valdez accident.
The ultimate cost to ExxonMobil from the lawsuits arising from the Exxon
Valdez grounding is not possible to predict and may not be resolved for a
number of years.
A dispute with a Dutch affiliate concerning an overlift of natural gas by
a German affiliate was resolved by payments by the German affiliate
pursuant to an arbitration award. The German affiliate had paid royalties
on the excess gas and recovered the royalties in 2001. The only
substantive issue remaining is the taxes payable on the final compensation
for the overlift. Resolution of this issue will not have a materially
adverse effect upon the corporation's operations or financial condition.
On December 19, 2000, a jury in Montgomery County, Alabama, returned a
verdict against the corporation in a contract dispute over royalties in
the amount of $87.69 million in compensatory damages and $3.42 billion in
punitive damages in the case of Exxon Corporation v. State of Alabama,
et al. The verdict was upheld by the trial court on May 4, 2001.
ExxonMobil has appealed the judgment and believes it should be set aside
or substantially reduced on factual and constitutional grounds. The
Alabama Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the appeal on April 25,
2002. The ultimate outcome is not expected to have a materially adverse
effect upon the corporation's operations or financial condition.
On May 22, 2001, a state court jury in New Orleans, Louisiana, returned a
verdict against the corporation and three other entities in a case brought
by a landowner claiming damage to his property. The property had been
leased by the landowner to a company that performed pipe cleaning and
storage services for customers, including the corporation. The jury
awarded the plaintiff $56 million in compensatory damages (90 percent to
be paid by the corporation) and $1 billion in punitive damages (all to be
paid by the corporation). The damage related to the presence of naturally
occurring radioactive material (NORM) on the site resulting from pipe
cleaning operations. The award has been upheld at the trial court.
ExxonMobil has appealed the judgment to the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court
of Appeals and believes that the judgment should be set aside or
substantially reduced on factual and constitutional grounds. The ultimate
outcome is not expected to have a materially adverse effect upon the
corporation's operations or financial condition.
-8-
The U.S. Tax Court has decided the issue with respect to the pricing of
crude oil purchased from Saudi Arabia for the years 1979-1981 in favor of
the corporation. This decision is subject to appeal. Certain other issues
for the years 1979-1993 remain pending before the Tax Court. The ultimate
resolution of these issues is not expected to have a materially adverse
effect upon the corporation's operations or financial condition.
Claims for substantial amounts have been made against ExxonMobil and
certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in other pending lawsuits, the
outcome of which is not expected to have a materially adverse effect upon
the corporation's operations or financial condition.
The corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries are directly
and indirectly contingently liable for amounts similar to those at the
prior year-end relating to guarantees for notes, loans and performance
under contracts, including guarantees of non-U.S. excise taxes and customs
duties of other companies, entered into as a normal business practice,
under reciprocal arrangements.
Additionally, the corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term
sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all
of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences
material to the corporation's operations or financial condition. The
corporation's outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at
September 30, 2002 were similar to those at the prior year-end period.
Unconditional purchase obligations as defined by accounting standards are
those long-term commitments that are noncancelable or cancelable only
under certain conditions, and that third parties have used to secure
financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods or
services.
The operations and earnings of the corporation and its affiliates
throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from
time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and
regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on
production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and
retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of
contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such
occurrences and their overall effect upon the corporation vary greatly
from country to country and are not predictable.

REVIEW OF THIRD QUARTER 2002 RESULTS
Excluding merger effects and special items, estimated third quarter 2002
earnings were $2,940 million ($0.44 per share), a decrease of $380 million from
the third quarter of 2001, but an increase of $270 million from the second
quarter of 2002. Including merger effects and special items, estimated net
income of $2,640 million ($0.39 per share) decreased $540 million.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $54,182 million compared with
$52,113 million in 2001. Capital and exploration expenditures of $3,563 million
in the third quarter of 2002 were up $465 million, or 15 percent, compared with
$3,098 million last year and were 5 percent higher than in this year's second
quarter.
Excluding merger effects and special items, ExxonMobil's third quarter 2002
earnings of $2,940 million were up $270 million from second quarter 2002
earnings of $2,670 million. This improvement followed an increase of
$520 million from first to second quarter 2002. Upstream earnings improved
$264 million from the second quarter, primarily reflecting the continued upward
trend in crude oil prices. Downstream earnings decreased $257 million from the
second quarter primarily due to weak U.S. refining conditions and unfavorable
foreign exchange effects. Marketing margins declined and remained weak overall.
Chemicals earnings rose $84 million compared with the second quarter. Improved
margins in the U.S. more than offset lower volumes, which were down slightly
from the prior quarter's record level. Corporate and financing expenses of
$76 million decreased $144 million mainly due to favorable foreign exchange
impacts.
Operating costs for the first nine months of 2002 declined $1.5 billion versus
the same period last year. The decline was related to lower energy prices and
additional efficiencies captured in all business lines.

Compared with last year's third quarter, ExxonMobil's third quarter 2002
earnings, excluding merger effects and special items, were $2,940 million, down
$380 million. The reduction in earnings reflected significantly weaker
conditions in the downstream segments, partly offset by improvements in crude
oil prices and production levels in the upstream.
-18-
Upstream earnings were $2,417 million, an increase of $286 million from the
third quarter 2001 results. These upstream results reflected higher
realizations on sales of crude oil. Liquids production, excluding the impact of
OPEC quota restrictions, was flat as new production from fields in Malaysia,
Angola and Canada was offset by natural field decline. Natural gas volumes were
up 8 percent, reflecting resumed operations at the Arun field in Indonesia and
higher production elsewhere in Asia-Pacific. On an oil-equivalent basis,
excluding the effect of OPEC quota restrictions, production increased
3 percent. Project schedules for long-term volume increases remain on track as
reflected by higher capital spending.
Downstream earnings were $125 million, down $817 million from last year's third
quarter, reflecting weak industry-wide conditions. Refining margins dropped in
most areas worldwide, with the sharpest declines in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
Improved refining operations have continued to provide a partial offset to the
margin decline. Marketing margins remained weak in most areas worldwide, with
further declines in the quarter outside of the U.S.
Chemicals earnings of $353 million were more than double last year's third
quarter due mainly to record third quarter sales volumes and a net improvement
in margins.
Earnings from other operations, including coal, minerals and power, totaled
$121 million, similar to last year.
Third quarter 2002 net income of $2,640 million included after-tax merger
expenses of $85 million and a special charge of $215 million, reflecting the
impact on deferred income taxes from the 10 percent supplementary upstream tax
enacted in the U.K. in July.
In the third quarter, ExxonMobil continued its active investment program,
spending $3,563 million on capital and exploration projects, compared with
$3,098 million last year, reflecting continued growth in upstream spending.
Capital and exploration expenditures of $9,930 million for the first nine
months of 2002 were up $1,482 million, or 18 percent, compared with
$8,448 million last year. Upstream capital spending was up 22 percent,
consistent with long term investment plans which will result in expanding
profitable production.
Cash flow from operations and asset sales for the first nine months of 2002 was
$17.2 billion, below last year's $20.4 billion level due to lower earnings, but
sufficiently large to exceed cash requirements to fund the corporation's
growing capital expenditure program, shareholder dividends and continuing share
purchases.

OTHER COMMENTS ON THIRD QUARTER 2002 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2001
Excluding a special charge recorded in 2002, upstream earnings were
$2,417 million, up $286 million from the third quarter 2001 reflecting higher
crude oil realizations.
Liquids production of 2,448 kbd (thousands of barrels per day) decreased from
2,484 kbd in the third quarter of 2001. Higher production in Angola, Malaysia,
Canada and Venezuela was offset by OPEC quota restrictions and natural field
declines in mature areas. Absent OPEC quota restrictions, liquids production
was flat with last year. Third quarter natural gas production increased to
9,214 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), compared with 8,561 mcfd last
year. Improvements in Asia-Pacific natural gas volumes, mainly from the return
to full production levels at the Arun field in Indonesia following last year's
curtailments due to security concerns, were partly offset by natural field
decline in the U.S. and North Sea. Total actual oil and natural gas production
increased 2 percent versus the third quarter of last year, as resumption of
full operations at Arun and contributions from new projects and work programs
more than offset natural field declines. Excluding the impact of OPEC quota
restrictions, oil-equivalent production was up 3 percent.
Earnings from U.S. upstream operations were $641 million, down $126 million.
Excluding the special U.K. tax charge in 2002, non-U.S. upstream earnings of
$1,776 million were $412 million higher than last year's third quarter.
Downstream earnings of $125 million decreased substantially from the third
quarter of last year, reflecting significantly lower refining margins in the
U.S. and Europe with continued weakness in Asia-Pacific. Marketing margins
remained depressed. Petroleum product sales were 7,763 kbd, 188 kbd lower than
last year's third quarter in large part due to reduced demand for aviation fuel
and lower distillate and fuel oil sales in Europe.
U.S. downstream earnings were $42 million, down $348 million. Non-U.S.
downstream earnings of $83 million were $469 million lower than last year's
third quarter.
Chemicals earnings of $353 million were up $197 million from the same quarter a
year ago reflecting higher volumes and improved margins. Prime product sales of
6,711 kt (thousands of metric tons) were up 254 kt, reflecting higher demand in
key commodity businesses across most regions and supported by capacity
additions in Singapore.
Earnings from other operations, including coal, minerals and power, totaled
$121 million, similar to last year.
Corporate and financing expenses of $76 million increased $47 million,
primarily due to higher pension costs.
The corporation's effective tax rate increased to 43.2 percent in the third
quarter, and reflected the impact of higher U.K. taxes, including a special
charge of $215 million related to the deferred income tax effect of the
10 percent supplementary U.K. tax on North Sea operations that was enacted
during the quarter. During the period, the Company continued to benefit from
the favorable resolution of other tax related issues.
Third quarter net income also included $85 million of after-tax merger
expenses, including costs for rationalization of facilities and systems.
-20-
During the third quarter of 2002, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 30 million
shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $1,062 million.
These purchases were to offset shares issued in conjunction with company
benefit plans and programs and to reduce the number of shares outstanding.
Shares outstanding were reduced from 6,757 million at the end of the second
quarter of 2002 to 6,729 million at the end of the third quarter. Purchases may
be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be
discontinued at any time.
FIRST NINE MONTHS 2002 COMPARED WITH FIRST NINE MONTHS 2001
Excluding merger effects and special items, earnings of $7,760 million
($1.14 per share) for the first nine months of 2002 decreased $4,990 million
from the record first nine months of last year. Including merger effects and
special items, net income of $7,370 million ($1.08 per share) for the first
nine months of 2002 decreased $5,270 million. Included in this year's first
nine months net income was $390 million in after-tax merger expenses and
unfavorable special items, while last year's first nine months included net
unfavorable merger effects and special items of $110 million.
Upstream earnings decreased primarily due to lower natural gas realizations,
particularly in North America, where prices reached historical highs at the
beginning of 2001. Crude oil realizations were also lower. Liquids production
of 2,494 kbd decreased 53 kbd from the first nine months of 2001. Higher
production in Angola, Malaysia, Venezuela and Canada was offset by OPEC quota
restrictions and natural field declines in mature areas. Excluding the effect
of OPEC quota restrictions, liquids production in 2002 was flat with the first
nine months of 2001. Worldwide natural gas production of 10,039 mcfd in the
first nine months of 2002 compared with 9,910 mcfd in 2001. Improvements in
Asia-Pacific volumes, mainly from the return to full production levels at the
Arun field in Indonesia following last year's curtailments due to security
concerns, more than offset reduced weather-related demand in Europe and natural
field decline in the U.S. Weather-related demand in Europe reduced total gas
volumes by about 3 percent. Total oil and natural gas producible volumes
increased 2 percent versus the first nine months of last year, as resumption of
production at Arun and contributions from new projects and work programs more
than offset natural field declines.
Earnings from U.S. upstream operations for the first nine months of 2002 were
$1,759 million, a decrease of $1,747 million. Excluding a special item reported
in 2002, earnings outside the U.S. were $4,820 million, $433 million lower than
last year.
Downstream earnings decreased substantially from the first nine months of 2001,
reflecting significantly lower refining margins in the U.S. and Europe, and
further weakness in marketing margins. Improved refining operations provided a
partial offset to the margin decline. Petroleum product sales of 7,670 kbd
decreased 286 kbd from the first nine months of 2001, largely related to
reduced refinery runs due to weak margins, and lower demand for aviation fuels
and distillates.
U.S. downstream earnings were $290 million, down $1,353 million. Earnings
outside the U.S. of $189 million were $1,376 million lower than last year.
Excluding special items of $175 million recorded in 2001, Chemicals earnings of
$754 million for the first nine months of 2002 were $256 million higher than
last year reflecting increased prime product sales volumes across all regions
and higher margins. Sales volumes of 20,216 kt were 4 percent above last year's
level.
-21-
Earnings from other operations totaled $360 million, a decrease of $29 million
due primarily to the absence of Colombian coal operations which were sold in
the first quarter of 2002. Corporate and financing expenses increased
$308 million to $412 million, mainly reflecting higher pension expenses and
lower interest income.
MERGER OF EXXON CORPORATION AND MOBIL CORPORATION
On November 30, 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon Corporation merged
with Mobil Corporation so that Mobil became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon
(the "Merger"). At the same time, Exxon changed its name to Exxon Mobil
Corporation. The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
In the third quarter of 2002, in association with the Merger, $129 million of
before tax costs ($85 million after tax) were recorded as merger related
expenses, including costs for rationalization of facilities and systems. In the
third quarter of 2001, merger related expenses were $145 million before tax
($140 million after tax). For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, merger
related expenses totaled $253 million before tax ($175 million after tax). For
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, merger related expenses totaled
$433 million before tax ($325 million after tax).
The severance reserve balance at the end of the third quarter of 2002 is
expected to be expended in 2002 and 2003. The following table summarizes the
activity in the severance reserve for the nine months ended September 30, 2002:
Opening Balance at
Balance Additions Deductions Period End
_______ _________ __________ __________
(millions of dollars)
197 32 134 95
Merger related expenses are expected to total approximately $3.2 billion before
tax on a cumulative basis by the end of 2002. Additional expense for facilities
rationalization and systems are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2002,
after which the corporation does not expect to use the merger expense segment
in future reporting. Merger synergy initiatives are on track.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, included no extraordinary
gains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the net after tax gain
from required asset divestments, all in the first quarter, totaled $40 million
(including an income tax credit of $15 million), or $0.01 per common share.
These net gains from required asset divestments have been reported as
extraordinary items in accordance with accounting requirements for business
combinations accounted for as a pooling of interests.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash generation before financing activities was $8,664 million in the first
nine months of 2002 versus $13,554 million in the same period last year.
Operating activities provided net cash of $16,189 million, a decrease of
$3,310 million from the prior year, influenced by lower net income partly
offset by the positive impact of lower working capital. Cash flow from
operations also included $1.5 billion in funds received from BEB Erdgas und
Erdoel GmbH ("BEB"), a German exploration and production company indirectly
owned 50 percent and accounted for under the equity method of
-22-
accounting. The funds were loaned in connection with a restructuring that will
enable BEB, pending German regulatory approvals, to transfer its holdings in
Ruhrgas AG, a German gas transmission company. Net income will not reflect the
transfer of the Ruhrgas shares until final approvals are obtained.
Investing activities used net cash of $7,525 million, compared to cash used of
$5,945 million in the prior year, reflecting higher additions to property,
plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $8,682 million in the first nine
months of 2002 versus $11,616 million in the same period last year reflecting a
lower level of debt reductions in the current year.
During the first nine months of 2002, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased
93 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of
$3,617 million. These purchases were to offset shares issued in conjunction
with company benefit plans and programs and to reduce the number of shares
outstanding. Purchases may be made in both the open market and through
negotiated transactions, and may be discontinued at any time.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $148,622 million compared to
$165,597 million in the first nine months of 2001 reflecting lower prices.
Capital and exploration expenditures were $9,930 million in the first nine
months 2002 compared to $8,448 million in last year's first nine months. In
2002, capital and exploration investments are expected to increase by more than
10 percent over 2001 primarily driven by ExxonMobil's large portfolio of
upstream projects.
Total debt of $10.9 billion at September 30, 2002 increased $0.1 billion from
year-end 2001. The corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 12.3 percent
at the end of the first nine months of 2002, compared to 12.4 percent at
year-end 2001.
Although the corporation issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains
a revolving commercial paper program, internally generated funds cover the
majority of its financial requirements.
Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in note 5 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements. There are no events or
uncertainties known to management beyond those already included in reported
financial information that would indicate a material change in future operating
results or future financial condition.
The corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to
evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade. Because of the ongoing nature
of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which
will result in either gains or losses. Asset management activities in the first
nine months of 2002 included the sale of coal operations in Colombia in the
first quarter. On May 2, 2002, the corporation announced that it had reached
agreement to sell its interests in Compania Minera Disputada de las Condes
Limitada (a Chile copper mining business) for $1.3 billion, plus future
contingent payments in the event of higher future copper prices. The sale is
subject to the completion of outstanding due diligence, the completion of a
definitive sale and purchase agreement and required regulatory approvals, with
such work continuing into the fourth quarter 2002.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information about market risks for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of
the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2001.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As indicated in the certifications on pages 29 through 34 of this
report, the corporation's principal executive officer, principal
financial officer and principal accounting officer have evaluated the
corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30,
2002. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the
corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the
purpose of ensuring that material information required to be in this
quarterly report is made known to them by others on a timely basis.
There have not been changes in the corporation's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of this evaluation.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC")
issued a Notice of Violation with respect to the Port Mobil Terminal
in Staten Island, New York on August 1, 2002. The NYSDEC alleges
violations of regulations under New York's Petroleum Bulk Storage and
Chemical Bulk Storage programs, including that certain above-ground
storage tanks holding petroleum products (or chemicals) are not being
managed in accordance with regulatory requirements or are in violation
of permit requirements. The NYSDEC served a Notice of Hearing and
Complaint on ExxonMobil Oil Corporation ("EMOC") on October 7, 2002,
specifically demanding, among other things, a penalty of $750,000.
EMOC filed a motion for a More Definite Statement on October 17, 2002.
The NYSDEC served multiple Notices of Hearing and Complaint
("Notices") on EMOC on September 5, 2002 relating to three service
stations. The Notice relating to a service station on Fort Hamilton
Parkway in Brooklyn, New York alleges the discharge of petroleum into
the waters of the state and failure to report spills in violation of
the Navigation Law and the Environmental Conservation Law. The NYSDEC
is seeking payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $125,000. In
Notices relating to service stations on West Street in Manhattan and
on Pike Street in New York City, the NYSDEC alleges the discharge of
petroleum into the waters of the state in violation of the Navigation
Law and the Environmental Conservation Law. For each of these two
service stations, the NYSDEC is seeking a civil penalty in the amount
of $200,000. EMOC filed an answer and affirmative defenses on
October 29, 2002.
In a previously reported matter, the NYSDEC has amended its complaint
originally served on EMOC on June 14, 2002 with respect to a service
station in Smithtown, New York. In the amendment, the NYSDEC has added
alleged violations at a service station across the highway from
the first location, and has increased the penalty it is seeking from
-25-
$1.5 million to $2.0 million. Allegations regarding the second site
are that petroleum was discharged from the station into waters of the
state and that EMOC has violated the Stipulation Agreement regulating
remedial activities at the site. The NYSDEC has filed a motion for
order without hearing, and EMOC's opposition to this motion is due by
November 8, 2002.
The NYSDEC has indicated that it is continuing its inspections and
investigations at certain other sites in New York and that additional
Notices may be issued to the corporation in the future. Settlement
discussions with the NYSDEC to resolve all outstanding matters are
ongoing. The amounts of the penalties for which the corporation might
ultimately be liable are unknown.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued Notices of
Enforcement to EMOC with respect to its Beaumont, Texas refinery on
May 21, 2002, and on August 22, 2002. Each Notice alleged violations
of Texas Air Quality regulations. The primary focus is on leak
detection and repair issues, including allegations that certain
equipment valves were not monitored as required or were not repaired
in a timely manner. No specific demand for penalties has been made.
On August 20, 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued
a Notice of Violation and Finding of Violation ("NOV") in connection
with the EPA's New Source Review Enforcement Initiative. In the NOV,
the EPA alleged that the corporation undertook certain projects at its
refinery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana without obtaining appropriate New
Source Review permits under the Clean Air Act. The NOV also included
new allegations of violations at refineries in Baytown and Beaumont,
Texas; Chalmette, Louisiana; and Joliet, Illinois, in addition to
reciting prior claims relating to these four refineries that have been
the subject of prior disclosure by the corporation. The NOV did not
include a demand for specific fines or penalties. The corporation and
the EPA continue to have discussions regarding these matters.
Regarding a previously reported matter, EMOC and the Department of
Environmental Protection of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have
agreed to settle a matter set forth in the agency's draft Consent
Order and Notice of Non-Compliance issued on August 27, 1998 relating
to alleged violations of air and waste regulations at multiple service
stations in Massachusetts. Pursuant to the agreement between the
parties, EMOC has agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$175,000. The settlement is subject to finalization and court approval
of a formal settlement agreement.
The corporation and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
("BAAQMD") have agreed to settle matters relating to 16 Notices of
Violation issued by the BAAQMD on different occasions in 1998 and 1999
for alleged violations of various local, state and federal laws
relating to control of air contaminants at the corporation's former
Benicia, California refinery. Pursuant to a stipulated judgment, which
was approved by the Superior Court of the State of California, County
of Solano, on October 29, 2002, the corporation has agreed to pay a
civil penalty of $221,000.
Refer to the relevant portions of Note 5 on pages 7 through 9 of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on legal
proceedings.
