PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

**(1)       General -**

            Thecondensed consolidated financial statements included herein havebeen prepared by Pennzoil-Quaker State Company("Pennzoil-Quaker State" or the "Company")without audit and should be read in conjunction with thefinancial statements and the notes thereto included inPennzoil-Quaker State's latest annual report. The foregoingfinancial statements include only normal recurring accruals andall adjustments which Pennzoil-Quaker State considers necessaryfor a fair presentation. Certain prior period items have beenreclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statementsin order to conform with the current year presentation.

**(2)       New AccountingStandards -**

            InJune 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board("FASB") issued Statement of Financial AccountingStandards ("SFAS") No. 141, "BusinessCombinations". SFAS No. 141 eliminates the use of thepooling-of-interests method of accounting for businesscombinations and establishes the purchase method of accounting asthe only acceptable method on all business combinations initiatedafter June 30, 2001.

            InJune 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and OtherIntangible Assets." This statement modifies existinggenerally accepted accounting principles related to theamortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangibleassets. Upon adoption of the new standard, goodwill, includinggoodwill associated with equity method investments, will nolonger be amortized. For the nine months ended September 30,2001, goodwill amortization was $26.5 million. In addition,goodwill, other than goodwill associated with equity methodinvestments, must be assessed at least annually for impairmentusing a fair-value based approach. The provisions of thisstatement are required to be adopted as of the beginning of thefirst fiscal year after December 15, 2001. Impairment losses thatarise due to the initial application of this statement are to bereported as a cumulative effect of change in accountingprinciple. Pennzoil-Quaker State has not completed an analysis ofthe impact of implementing the provisions of this statement.

            InJuly 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting forAsset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requiresentities to record the fair value of a liability for legalobligations associated with the retirement obligations oftangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurredand the corresponding cost capitalized by increasing the carryingamount of the related asset. The liability is accreted to thefair value at the time of settlement over the useful life of theasset, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the usefullife of the related asset. If the liability is settled for anamount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss isrecognized. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginningafter June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. TheCompany is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No.143 on its financial position and results of operations and hasnot determined its timing of adoption.

           InOctober 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting forthe Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No.144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairmentof Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be DisposedOf," and replaces the accounting and reporting provisionsfor segments of a business to be disposed of AccountingPrinciples Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30,"Reporting Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects ofDisposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusualand Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFASNo. 144 maintains the requirement that an impairment loss berecognized for a long-lived asset to be held and used if itscarrying value is not recoverable from its undiscounted cashflows. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to bedisposed of other than by sales be considered held and used untilit is actually disposed of and requires that its depreciable lifebe revised in accordance with APB Opinion No. 20,"Accounting Changes." SFAS No. 144 also requires thatlong-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be measured at thelower of its carrying amount or fair value less selling costs,but retains the requirement to report discontinued operationsseparately from continuing operations and extends that reportingto a component of an entity that has either been disposed of oris classified as held for sale. The standard is effective forfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and early adoptionis encouraged. The Company has not yet determined its timing ofadoption.

**(3)       DerivativeInstruments -**

           Attimes, the Companyhas utilized swaps andforward contracts to manage certain risks resulting fromfluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchangerates.  On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities", as amended, which established accounting andreporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument berecorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liabilitymeasured at its fair value. The statement requires that changesin the derivative instrument's fair value be recognized currentlyin earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company'sresults of operations or financial position.

            Inconnection with the issuance of $150.0 million of two-year fixedrate notes in December 2000, Pennzoil-Quaker State entered into afixed-to-floating interest rate swap to maintain its mix ofvariable rate versus fixed rate debt. The Company designated theswap as a fair value hedge. Under SFAS No. 133, changes in thefair value of the swap are recognized currently in earnings alongwith the offsetting changes in the fair value of the associateddebt. At September 30, 2001, the fair market value of the swap of$5.0 million was recorded in other current assets. During thenine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company repurchasednotes and unwound the corresponding swap in the amount of $24.5million. Pretax gains of $0.4 million were recognized on thesetransactions as of September 30, 2001.

            Duringthe nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company's Canadiansubsidiary entered into Canadian dollar foreign currency forwardcontracts to reduce the cash flow variability of U.S. dollarspurchases of inventory. The Company designated these forwardcontracts as cash flow hedges. Under SFAS No. 133, gains andlosses on the forward contracts are recorded in othercomprehensive income and then reclassified to earnings as theinventory is sold. The fair market value of the forward contractswas not material. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $3.5million of foreign currency forward contracts. The remainingcontracts totaling $3.5 million were settled on October 30, 2001and there are no remaining contracts outstanding.

**Results of Operations**

     **Third Quarter 2001 comparedwith Third Quarter 2000**

The decrease in net sales is primarilya result of the disposition of non-strategic operating assetssold in 2000 and lower sales volumes from remaining assets as aresult of continued volume softness in the passenger car motoroil market. Operating income for this segment was $32.0 millionfor the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $39.7million for the same period last year. The decrease in operatingincome for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 is primarily dueto lower sales volumes as a result of continued volume softnessin the passenger car motor oil market and the restructuringcharges of $6.0 million recorded in the third quarter. 

            **ConsumerProducts**. Net sales for the Consumer Products segment were$84.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, comparedto $79.4 million for the same period last year.

Operating income for this segment was $5.1million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to$2.3 million for the same period last year.
