The terms and conditions of the Thrift Plan are fully contained in the Thrift Plan of Exxon Corporation and Participating Affiliates document ("Plan Document") dated October 1996, as amended from time to time. The Thrift Plan is an "employee pension benefit plan" described in Section 3(2) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and also a "defined contribution plan" described in Section 3(34) of ERISA. Eligibility, enrollment, participant and employer contributions, vesting, participation, forfeiture, loans, withdrawals, distribution, federal tax treatment of a qualified plan and trust, and other Thrift Plan provisions are described in detail in the Plan Document. Also set forth in the Plan Document are the investment features and options of the Thrift Plan including, but not limited to, stock purchases and sales, equity unit purchases and sales, extended market unit purchases and sales, and other transactions. Note 2: Accounting Policies The accounting records of the Thrift Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All investments are stated at current value. Current values are based on quoted prices as of the date of the financial statements, or, if market quotations are not readily available, upon estimated values obtained from a major investment securities firm. Exxon Corporation Class A preferred stock held in the Exxon Corporation Preferred Stock Fund is stated at current value as measured by the value of common shares to which it is convertible. Net appreciation in the current value of investments includes realized gains and losses on investments sold or disposed of during the year and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at year end. The Plan is subject to normal risks associated with international and domestic debt and equity markets, including the investment in Exxon Corporation Common Stock. During 1998, $351,719 of employers' matching contributions were forfeited by terminating employees before those amounts became vested. Such forfeited amounts are used to pay future employer contributions. -6- THRIFT PLAN OF EXXON CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING AFFILIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 3: Revalued Cost Basis Gains and Losses The Department of Labor ("DOL") requires that the components of net appreciation (depreciation) for investments held in the Exxon Corporation Common Stock Fund, investments held in the Common Asset Fund, and investments held in the Exxon Corporation Preferred Stock Fund be segregated and calculated on a revalued cost basis for ERISA annual ("Form 5500") reporting purposes. Under the revalued cost basis, realized gains and losses on investments sold are calculated as proceeds less market value at the beginning of the year or, if acquired during the year, historical cost. Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as market value of assets at the end of the year less market value at the beginning of the year or, if acquired during the year, historical cost. For fixed income securities in the Common Asset Fund and the Exxon Corporation Preferred Stock Fund, gains and losses are calculated on the basis of specific security identification. For Exxon Corporation common stock, gains and losses are calculated assuming a first-in, first-out methodology for total shares in the portfolio for all shares sold by participants. For the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, these components of net appreciation (depreciation) were: Common Asset Fixed Exxon Corporation Exxon Corporation Income Securities Common Stock Preferred Stock Fund Fund Fund ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- (millions of dollars) Realized G/(L) $(4) $(5) $150 $180 $21 $40 Unrealized G/(L) 11 (3) 1,051 998 52 89 ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Appreciation $ 7 $(8) $1,201 $1,178 $73 $129 (Depreciation) Note 4: Tax Status On August 28, 1997, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter with respect to the qualified status of the Thrift Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Trustee believes that the Plan is a qualified plan under IRC Section 401(a) and that the related trust is exempt from tax under IRC section 501(a). -7- THRIFT PLAN OF EXXON CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING AFFILIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 5: Expenses Participating employers pay the administrative expenses of the Thrift Fund with the exception of: (1) brokers' commissions and SEC fees on Exxon Corporation common stock purchases and sales which are paid by Thrift participants purchasing or selling stock and are included in the price of the stock at the time of purchase or sale and (2) management fees, brokerage commissions, and administrative expenses of the Equity Portfolio Fund and the Extended Market Portfolio Fund, which are paid by Thrift participants in those respective Funds. Note 6: Exxon Corporation Preferred Stock Fund An employee stock ownership plan was incorporated into the Thrift Plan on August 1, 1988. This plan is commonly referred to as the Direct Dividend Dividend Account ("DDA") and is described in detail in the Plan Document. In 1989, the plan was leveraged when the Trustee-Thrift Trust borrowed $1.0 billion at a floating rate of interest under the terms of notes, guaranteed by Exxon Corporation. The Trustee used the proceeds of the borrowing to purchase 16,349,945 shares of a new issue of Exxon Corporation Class A preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") for $61.50 per share which are convertible into Exxon Corporation common stock. After the common stock split on March 14, 1997, when the common share price exceeds $30.75, one share of preferred stock is convertible into two shares of common stock. When the price is $30.75 or less, one share of preferred is convertible into common shares having a total value of $61.50. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable in an amount per share equal to $4.68 per annum. Dividends on the Preferred Stock of $12 million and $20 million were paid during 1998 and 1997, respectively, and covered certain principal and interest payments of $8 million and $24 million on the notes. During 1998 and 1997, 1,397,641 and 1,854,762 shares of Preferred Stock, respectively, were converted into common stock. In 1998 and 1997, principal payments of $100 million and $120 million, respectively, were made on the notes. The interest rate on the notes ranged from 3.94% to 5.28% in 1998 and 4.22% to 5.12% in 1997. The final principal payment on the note of $125 million is due in 1999 at which time remaining Preferred Stock will be converted into common stock and allocated to participant accounts in accordance with Plan provisions and applicable law. Note 7: Claims Incurred But Not Paid The Plan reports benefits paid on a cash basis as required under generally accepted accounting principles. For Form 5500 reporting purposes, claims incurred but not paid of $19 million and $17 million for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are reported on an accrual basis. As such, the net assets available for benefits reflected for Form 5500 purposes are $10,159 million and $9,013 million for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. -8- THRIFT PLAN OF EXXON CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING AFFILIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8: Subsequent Events New Investment Option Effective January 1, 1999, the Thrift Plan will begin offering a new investment option, Balanced Fund Units, which is designed to generate returns from income and growth through investment in domestic and international stocks and United States bonds. Change in Plan Year The plan year of the Thrift Plan that commenced December 1, 1998, ended on December 31, 1998 as provided by a plan amendment that changes the plan year of the Thrift Fund to coincide with the calender year. Plan Amendment Effective January 1, 1999, the Thrift Plan was amended to offer additional distribution options for annuitants, increased percentage limit for contributions, and the acceptance of rollovers from other qualified plans. Partial distributions can now be made once each year in the amount of $5,000 or more, and can be in the form of cash, Exxon common stock, or a combination of both cash and Exxon common stock. The maximum contribution percentage by payroll deduction was increased to 18%. Employee rollovers will be accepted from other tax qualified plans, but not from Indivdual Retirement Accounts and Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs). Plan Transfer During 1999, plan assets will be transferred to a new plan for those participants who were hired by Infineum USA, L.P., an Exxon Corporation and Shell Oil Company joint venture. -9- EXHIBIT 1 THRIFT PLAN OF EXXON CORPORATION AND PARTICIPATING AFFILIATES ITEM 27a-SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES 11/30/98 (thousands of dollars) MATURITY PAR AMORTIZED CURRENT DESCRIPTION COUPON DATE VALUE COST VALUE -

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trustee of the Thrift Plan; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Trustee of the Thrift Plan, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by ERISA. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
