Item 7. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations
Results of Operations 1994 Compared With 1993
The Company earned $1,878 million in 1994 compared with $1,803 million in 1993. Results for 1994 benefited from settlements of crude oil excise taxes ("COET") of $270 million, a gain of $45 million related to the disposition of certain European oil and gas properties and tax adjustments relating to prior years totaling $63 million. Adversely affecting 1994 earnings were after-tax charges of $60 million pertaining to provisions for future environmental remediation expenditures relating to past operations, and restructuring charges of $149 million. Of this latter amount, $51 million related to costs directly associated with severances of employees expected to occur by year-end 1995. The remaining $98 million was attributable to various facility closings and asset dispositions. Earnings in 1993 were adversely affected by charges of $170 million associated with the writedown of Congo exploration and production operations to current recoverable value and additional deferred taxes of $53 million due to the effect of a tax rate change resulting from enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. Partly offsetting were prior-year tax benefits of $107 million and gains from drawdown of inventories valued under the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of approximately $50 million.
Adjusting both years for special items and accounting changes, 1994 earnings were $1,709 million compared with 1993 earnings of $1,869 million. The decline in earnings primarily reflects the transferring of 95 percent ownership of certain European chemical operations to Amoco Corporation, lower refined product margins in refining, marketing and transportation operations, and lower exploration and production earnings mainly as a result of lower energy prices. Partly offsetting were improved chemical results, attributable to higher margins and volumes in major product lines.
Sales and other operating revenues totaled $23.6 billion for 1994, slightly higher than $22.9 billion for 1993. Chemical revenues improved 23 percent reflecting higher sales for major product lines. Natural gas revenues were 16 percent higher as a result of increased worldwide sales volumes. Partly offsetting were decreased crude oil revenues reflecting
lower prices worldwide. Other income was higher in 1994 compared with last year primarily as a result of the favorable COET settlement.
Purchases of crude oil, petroleum products and merchandise of $12.3 billion for 1994 were 5 percent above the 1993 level of $11.8 billion. Operating expenses were 3 percent higher in 1994. Increased chemical manufacturing costs reflecting the fourth-quarter 1993 acquisition of Phillips Fibers Corporation, and second-quarter 1994 restructuring charges of $150 million, were partly offset by the absence of charges in 1993 associated with the writedown of Congo exploration and production operations to current recoverable value. Exploration expenses for 1994 were 7 percent above 1993, due to higher dry hole expenses of $23 million and higher geological and geophysical costs overseas of $12 million. Selling and administrative expenses were up 16 percent compared with the prior year, mainly due to $79 million in 1994 restructuring charges and $46 million of unfavorable foreign currency effects. Interest expense increased 36 percent primarily related to interest on intercompany notes from affiliates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flows from operating activities generated $4 billion in 1994, compared with $3.5 billion in 1993.
The debt to debt-plus-equity ratio on outstanding public obligations increased to 18.8 percent in 1994, compared with 16.8 percent in 1993. The Company believes its strong financial position will permit the financing of business needs and opportunities in an orderly manner.
Working capital totaled $1,257 million at December 31, 1994, up from $407 million at December 31, 1993. The Company's current ratio increased to 1.30 to 1 at year-end 1994 from 1.10 to 1 at year-end 1993. As a matter of policy, Amoco Company practices asset and liability management techniques that are designed to minimize its investment in non-cash working capital. This does not impair operational capability or flexibility since the Company has ready access to both short-term and long-term debt markets.
Amoco Company's short-term liquidity position is better than the reported figures indicate since the inventory component of working capital is valued in part under the LIFO method, whereas other elements of working capital are reported at amounts more indicative of their current values. If inventories were valued at current replacement costs, the level of working capital would rise and an increase in the current ratio would result.
Amoco Corporation and the Company guarantee the outstanding public notes and debentures of Amoco Canada Petroleum Company Ltd., except for the 7 3/8% Subordinated Exchangeable Debentures due 2013.

Financial Statements
Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amoco and its presently outstanding public debt securities are guaranteed by Amoco. Pursuant to
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 53, summarized financial data of the Company appear in a note to Amoco's 1994 audited consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements, together with the Report of Independent Accountants thereon of Amoco's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company contained herein do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of results of operations and financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with Amoco's audited consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of adoption relating to years prior to 1992, was a non-cash charge of $702 million. This represents after-tax charges of $749 million for the adoption of SFAS No. 106 partially offset by an after-tax credit of $47 million for the adoption of SFAS No. 109. In addition, the effect on 1993 net income of adopting these standards was a charge of $51 million related to the adoption of SFAS No. 106 and a benefit of $62 million associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 109.
