INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON SCHEDULES -----------------------------------------
The Board of Directors Murphy Oil Corporation:
Under date of March 4, 1994, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Murphy Oil Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, as contained in the 1993 annual report to stockholders. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are included in Exhibit 13 in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1993. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedules as listed under Item 14 (a) 2. These financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statement schedules based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in 1993.
