("Ashland") providing for the formation of Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC ("MAP"). Effective January 1, 1998, Marathon contributed substantially all of its refining, marketing and transportation ("RM&T") operations to MAP. Also, on January 1, 1998, Marathon acquired certain RM&T net assets from Ashland in exchange for a 38 percent interest in MAP. The purchase price was determined to be $1.9 billion, based upon an external valuation. The acquisition of Ashland's net assets was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the formation of MAP, Marathon and Ashland entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement ("LLC Agreement") dated January 1, 1998. The LLC Agreement provided for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2022 (25 years from its formation). On June 30, 2005, MOC acquired the 38 percent ownership interest in MAP previously held by Ashland. In addition, MOC acquired a portion of Ashland's Valvoline Instant Oil Change business, its maleic anhydride business, its interest in LOOP LLC ("LOOP"), which owns and operates the only U.S. deepwater oil port, and its interest in LOCAP LLC ("LOCAP"), which owns a crude oil pipeline. As a result of the transactions (the "Acquisition"), MAP became wholly owned by MOC. MAP changed its name to Marathon Petroleum Company LLC ("MPC") effective September 1, 2005. The total consideration for the Acquisition, including debt assumed, is presented in Note D. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes are as of June 30, 2005, including the redemption of an 8.63 percent ownership interest in MPC held by Ashland (the "Partial Redemption"). Subsequent to June 30, 2005, MPC's portion of the purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Acquisition were pushed down to its separate consolidated financial statements. MPC is engaged in petroleum supply, refining, marketing and transportation operations, primarily in the Midwest, the upper Great Plains and the Southeastern United States. Speedway SuperAmerica LLC ("SSA"), a wholly owned subsidiary, operates retail outlets for petroleum products and merchandise. In addition, MPC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Marathon Pipe Line LLC, is actively engaged in the pipeline transportation of crude oil and petroleum products. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MPC and the majority-owned subsidiaries which it controls. Investments in undivided interest pipelines are consolidated on a pro rata basis. Investments in entities over which MPC has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are carried at MPC's share of net assets plus advances. This includes entities in which MPC holds majority ownership but the minority shareholders have substantive participating rights in the investee. Differences in the basis of the investment and the separate net asset value of the investee, if any, are amortized into income over the remaining useful life of the underlying assets. Income from equity method investments represents MPC's proportionate share of income generated by the equity method investees. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues are recognized when products are shipped or services are provided to customers, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Costs associated with revenues are recorded in cost of revenues. Rebates from vendors are recognized as a reduction to cost of revenues when the initiating transaction occurs. Incentives that are derived from contractual provisions are accrued based on past experience and recognized within cost of revenues. MATCHING BUY/SELL TRANSACTIONS - MPC considers matching buy/sell transactions to be arrangements in which MPC agrees to buy a specific quantity and quality of crude oil or refined petroleum products to be delivered at a specific location while simultaneously agreeing to sell a specified quantity and quality of crude oil or refined petroleum products at a different location, usually with the same counterparty. All matching buy/sell transactions are settled in cash and are recorded in both revenues and costs of revenues as separate sales and purchase transactions, or on a "gross" basis. The commodity purchased and the commodity sold generally are similar in nature. In a typical buy/sell transaction, MPC enters into a contract to sell a particular grade of crude oil or refined product at a specified location and date to a particular counterparty, and simultaneously agrees to buy a particular grade of crude oil or refined product at a different location on the same or another specified date, typically from the same counterparty. The value of the purchased volumes rarely equals the sales value of the sold volumes. The value differences between purchases and sales are primarily due to (1) grade/quality differentials, (2) location differentials and/or (3) timing differences in those instances when the purchase and sale do not occur in the same month. MPC enters into crude oil matching buy/sell transactions to secure the most profitable refinery supply and enters into refined product matching buy/sell transactions to meet projected customer demands and to secure the required volumes in the most cost-effective manner. The characteristics of MPC's matching buy/sell transactions include gross invoicing between MPC and its counterparties and cash settlement of the transactions. Nonperformance by one party to deliver generally does not relieve the other party's obligation to perform. Both transactions require physical delivery of the product. The risks and rewards of ownership are evidenced by title transfer, assumption of environmental risk, transportation scheduling, credit risk, counterparty nonperformance risk and the fact that MPC has the primary obligation to perform. MPC will be required to change its accounting for purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty, including certain matching buy/sell transactions, in the second quarter of 2006. See Note U for further information. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and investments in highly liquid debt instruments with maturities generally of three months or less. See Note E for information regarding investments with related parties. INVENTORIES - Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is determined primarily under the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. An inventory market valuation reserve results when the recorded LIFO cost basis of crude oil and refined products inventories exceeds net realizable value. The reserve is decreased when market prices increase and inventories turn over and is increased when market prices decrease. Changes in the inventory market valuation reserve result in noncash charges or credits to costs and expenses. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - MPC's receivables primarily consist of customer accounts receivable, including proprietary credit card receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in MPC's proprietary credit card receivables. MPC determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and the volume of proprietary credit card sales. MPC reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly, and past-due balances over 180 days are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other customer receivables are recorded at the invoiced amounts and generally do not bear interest. Account balances for these customer receivables are charged directly to bad debt expense when it becomes probable the receivable will not be collected. 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED TRADITIONAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - MPC uses derivatives to manage its exposure to commodity price risk. Management has authorized the use of futures, forwards, swaps and combinations of options, including written or net written options, related to the purchase or sale of crude oil, natural gas, refined products, feedstocks and ethanol. Changes in the fair value of all derivatives are recognized immediately in income, in revenues, other income or cost of revenues. As market conditions change, MPC may use selective derivative instruments that assume market risk. For derivative instruments that are classified as trading, changes in the fair value are recognized immediately in other income. Any premium received is amortized into income based on the underlying settlement terms of the derivative position. All related effects of a trading strategy, including physical settlement of the derivative position, are recognized in other income. NONTRADITIONAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - Certain contracts involving the purchase or sale of commodities are not considered normal purchases or normal sales under generally accepted accounting principles and are required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. MPC refers to such contracts as "nontraditional derivative instruments" because, unlike traditional derivative instruments, nontraditional derivative instruments have not been entered into to manage a risk exposure. Such contracts are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in income as revenues or cost of revenues. Certain physical commodity contracts are classified as nontraditional derivative instruments because certain volumes under these contracts are physically netted at particular delivery locations. The netting process causes all contracts at that delivery location to be considered derivative instruments. Other physical contracts that involve flash title are also accounted for as nontraditional derivative instruments as MPC has not elected to treat these contracts as normal purchases or normal sales. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 42 years. Such assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. When property, plant and equipment depreciated on an individual basis are sold or otherwise disposed of, any gains or losses are reflected in income. Gains on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized when earned, which is generally at the time of closing. If a loss on disposal is expected, such losses are recognized when the assets are classified as held for sale. Proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment depreciated on a group basis are credited to accumulated depreciation and amortization with no immediate effect on income. GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of a business. Such goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below carrying value. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting units. MPC is composed of three reporting units: refining and marketing, pipeline transportation and retail marketing. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, including goodwill, then the recorded goodwill is impaired to its implied fair value with a charge to expense. INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets primarily include intangible contract rights, marketing branding agreements and unrecognized pension plan prior service costs. The amortizable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the expected lives of the related contracts, as applicable, which range from five to ten years. Such assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. MAJOR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES - MPC incurs costs for planned major refinery maintenance ("turnarounds"). These types of costs include contractor repair services, materials and supplies, equipment rentals and company labor costs. Such costs are expensed in the same annual period as incurred; however, estimated annual turnaround costs are recognized as expense throughout the year on a pro rata basis. 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION LIABILITIES - Environmental remediation expenditures are capitalized if the costs mitigate past or prevent future contamination or if the costs improve environmental safety or efficiency of the existing assets. MPC provides for remediation costs and penalties when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of associated costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing of remediation accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the commitment to a formal plan of action. Remediation liabilities are accrued based on estimates of known environmental exposure and are discounted when the estimated amounts are reasonably fixed and determinable. If recoveries of remediation costs from third parties are probable, a receivable is recorded and is discounted when the estimated amount is reasonably fixed and determinable. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS - The fair values of asset retirement obligations are recognized in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations have been recognized for the removal of equipment at certain leased retail marketing locations and closure of a waste remediation site. Asset retirement obligations have not been recognized for the removal of materials and equipment from or the closure of certain refinery, pipeline and marketing assets because the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated due to an indeterminate settlement date of the obligation. Current inflation rates and credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rates are used to estimate the fair values of asset retirement obligations. Depreciation of capitalized asset retirement costs and accretion of asset retirement obligations are recorded over time. The depreciation will generally be determined on a straight-line basis for refining and marketing facilities, while the accretion to be recognized will escalate over the lives of the assets. PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - MPC has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan with two benefit payment formulas covering substantially all employees. In addition, several excess benefits plans exist covering employees within defined regulatory compensation limits. Benefits under its final pay formula are based primarily upon age, years of participation in the plan and the highest consecutive three years' earnings during the last ten years before retirement. Benefits under its pension equity formula are based primarily upon age, years of participation in the plan and the final three years of earnings at retirement. MPC also has defined benefit plans for other postretirement benefits covering most employees. Health care benefits are provided through comprehensive hospital, surgical and major medical benefit provisions, subject to various cost sharing features. Life insurance benefits are provided to certain nonunion and union-represented retiree beneficiaries. Other postretirement benefits have not been funded in advance. MPC uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans unless circumstances require a remeasurement at an interim date. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - Effective January 1, 2003, MPC has applied the fair value based method of accounting to all grants and any modified grants for MOC stock-based compensation granted to MPC employees. All prior outstanding and unvested awards continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period: SIX MONTHS ENDED Year Ended December 31 6/30/2005 2004 2003 ------------- ------------- ------------- (Millions) Net income: As reported $ 944 $ 1,407 $ 799 Add: MOC stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income 3 6 2 Deduct: MOC stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards (3) (6) (2) ------------- ------------- ------------- Pro forma net income $ 944 $ 1,407 $ 799 ============= ============= ============= 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED MPC records compensation cost over the stated vesting period for stock options that are subject to specific vesting conditions and specify (1) that an employee vests in the award upon becoming "retirement eligible" or (2) that the employee will continue to vest in the award after retirement without providing any additional service. Upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," such compensation cost will be recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees or over the period from the grant date to the retirement eligibility date if retirement eligibility will be reached during the stated vesting period. The compensation cost determined under these two approaches did not differ materially for the periods presented above. The above MOC stock-based compensation amounts were based on a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which included the following information and assumptions: SIX MONTHS ENDED Year Ended December 31 6/30/2005 2004 2003 ------------- ------------- ------------- Weighted-average grant date exercise price per share $ 50.28 $ 33.61 $ 25.58 Expected annual dividends per share $ 1.32 $ 1.00 $ 0.97 Expected life in years 5.5 5.5 5.0 Expected volatility 28% 32% 34% Risk-free interest rate 3.8% 3.9% 3.0% Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the period, as calculated from above $ 12.30 $ 8.83 $ 5.37 MPC applies the principles of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), as interpreted by Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services," to the stock-based compensation granted to MPC employees by Ashland. The amounts of MOC and Ashland stock-based compensation recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $5 million, $14 million and $6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. INCOME TAXES - MPC is a limited liability company, and therefore, except for several small subsidiary corporations, is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Accordingly, the taxable income or loss resulting from the operations of MPC is ultimately included in the U.S. federal income tax returns of MOC and Ashland. MPC is, however, subject to income taxes in certain state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases as reported in MPC's filings with the respective taxing authorities. The realization of deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on MPC's expectation to generate sufficient future taxable income. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - MPC is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by counterparties, a significant portion of which are concentrated in energy-related industries. The creditworthiness of customers and other counterparties is subject to continuing review, including the use of master netting agreements, where appropriate. No single customer accounts for more than 10 percent of annual gross revenues. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to 2005 classifications. NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Effective July 1, 2004, MPC adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position No. FAS 106-2 ("FSP FAS 106-2"), "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" (the "Act"). FSP FAS 106-2 includes guidance on recognizing the effects of the new legislation under the various conditions surrounding the assessment of "actuarial equivalence." MPC has determined, based on available regulatory guidance, 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - CONTINUED that the postretirement plan's prescription drug benefits are actuarially equivalent to the Medicare "Part D" benefit under the Act. The subsidy-related reduction at July 1, 2004 in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the MPC postretirement plan was $49 million. The favorable pretax effect of the subsidy-related reduction for 2004 on the measurement of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost related to service cost, interest cost and actuarial gain amortization was $4 million. Effective January 1, 2003, MPC adopted SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." The transition adjustment related to adopting SFAS No. 143 was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect on net income of adopting SFAS No. 143 was a net unfavorable pretax effect of $2 million. At the time of adoption, total assets increased by less than $1 million and total liabilities increased $2 million. Effective January 1, 2003, MPC adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for the stock-based compensation granted to MPC employees by MOC. SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," an amendment of SFAS No. 123, provides alternative methods for the transition of the accounting for stock-based compensation from the intrinsic value method to the fair value method. MPC has applied the fair value method to grants made, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003. NOTE D - PARTIAL REDEMPTION AND CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP The total consideration for the Acquisition, including debt assumed, is shown in the following table. The cash and MPC accounts receivable included in the purchase price, which total $1,398 million, were distributed by MPC to Ashland in the Partial Redemption. Immediately following that part of the Acquisition transactions, MOC provided the other components of the total consideration to Ashland in exchange for Ashland's remaining ownership interest in MPC. (Millions) ------------ Cash (a) $ 487 MPC accounts receivable (a) 911 MOC common stock (b) 955 Estimated additional consideration related to tax matters 58 Transaction-related costs 10 ------------ Purchase price 2,421 Assumption of debt (c) 1,920 ------------ Total consideration including debt assumption (d) $ 4,341 ============ (a) The LLC Agreement was amended to eliminate the requirement for MPC to make quarterly cash distributions to Marathon and Ashland between the date the principal transaction agreements were signed and the closing of the Acquisition. Cash and MPC accounts receivable above included $506 million representing Ashland's 38 percent of MPC's distributable cash as of June 30, 2005. (b) Ashland shareholders received 17.539 million shares valued at $54.45 per share, which was MOC's average common stock price over the trading days between June 23 and June 29, 2005. The exchange ratio was designed to provide an aggregate number of MOC shares worth $915 million based on MOC's average common stock price for each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the third complete trading day prior to June 30, 2005. (c) Assumed debt was repaid by MOC on July 1, 2005. (d) MOC is entitled to the tax deductions for Ashland's future payments of certain contingent liabilities related to businesses previously owned by Ashland. However, pursuant to the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, MOC has agreed to reimburse Ashland for a portion of these future payments. This contingent consideration will be included in the purchase price as such payments are made to Ashland. 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Related parties include: o Ashland and its affiliates; o MOC and its affiliates; and o Equity method investees.

This agreement provided that the Lenders could loan to MPC up to $500 million at defined short-term market rates. Pursuant to the terms of MOC's agreement to acquire the 38 percent ownership interest in MPC held by Ashland, MPC effectively was restricted from borrowing under this facility after September 30, 2004. This facility expired on March 15, 2005. At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings against this facility, and there were no borrowings against this facility during 2005. During 2004, MPC borrowed and repaid $1,717 million under this revolving credit facility. The weighted-average borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility during 2004 were $27 million. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest paid to each of Marathon and Ashland on these borrowings was less than $1 million. Effective August 1, 2003, MPC entered into a $350 million committed revolving credit facility with MOC that terminated on January 31, 2005. There were no borrowings against this facility during 2005 and 2003. During 2004, MPC had borrowings and repayments of $399 million under this facility. During 2004, interest paid to MOC on the borrowings under this agreement was less than $1 million. The weighted-average borrowings outstanding under this note facility during 2004 were $3 million. On March 17, 2004, MPC entered into a $325 million project loan agreement with Marathon, whereby MPC may borrow funds to finance the Detroit refinery expansion project at a rate of 6 percent per annum. During the construction period, interest was added to the outstanding loan balance. Upon completion of this expansion project, the Detroit refinery cash flows will be dedicated to service this debt as the sole source of funds to repay the borrowings. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, MPC had a balance of $221 million and $122 million, respectively, outstanding under this agreement. The amount of interest that has been incurred and added to the loan balance is $8 million as of June 30, 2005. Repayments are expected to begin in 2006. On November 16, 1998, MPC entered into agreements with MOC and Ashland, which allowed MPC to invest its surplus cash balances on a daily basis at competitive interest rates with MOC and Ashland in proportion up to their ownership interests in MPC. 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED These agreements were cancelled on April 2, 2004. MPC did not invest any cash under these agreements in 2004. Effective February 4, 2005, the agreement with Ashland was reactivated and then effectively terminated as of June 30, 2005. Interest income earned from Ashland on these investments was less than $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2003. Interest income earned from MOC on these investments was less than $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of MOC's agreement to acquire the 38 percent ownership in MPC held by Ashland, there were no cash capital contributions made to MPC after September 30, 2004. In 2004 and 2003, MPC recorded capital contributions from Marathon of less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, and from Ashland of $4 million and $7 million, respectively, for environmental improvements. In 2003 MPC also recorded an $11 million capital contribution from Marathon related to the acquisition of leased property. The LLC Agreement stipulated that ownership interest in MPC would not be adjusted as a result of such contributions. MPC recorded noncash capital contributions related to stock-based compensation expense from Marathon of $3 million, $6 million and $2 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This stock-based compensation expense is allocated 100 percent to Marathon. MPC recorded noncash capital contributions related to stock-based compensation expense from Ashland of $2 million, $8 million and $4 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This stock-based compensation expense is allocated 100 percent to Ashland.

In determining the assumed discount rates, the method includes a review of market yields on high-quality corporate debt and use of a third-party actuary's discount rate modeling tool. This tool applies a yield curve to the projected benefit plan cash flows using a hypothetical Aa yield curve. The yield curve represents a series of annualized individual discount rates from 1.5 to 30 years. The bonds used are rated Aa or higher by a recognized rating agency, and only non-callable bonds are included. Each issue is required to have at least $150 million par value outstanding. The top quartile bonds are selected within each maturity group to construct the yield curve. EXPECTED LONG-TERM RETURN ON PLAN ASSETS - Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed income are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Certain components of the asset mix are modeled with various assumptions regarding inflation, debt returns and stock yields. Our assumptions are compared to those of peer companies and historical returns for reasonableness and appropriateness.

Historical performance and future expectations suggest that common stocks will provide higher total investment returns than fixed-income securities over a long-term investment horizon. As a result, equity investments will likely continue to exceed 50 percent of the value of the fund. Accordingly, bond and other fixed-income investments will comprise the remainder of the fund. Short-term investments shall reflect the liquidity requirements for making pension payments. The plan's targeted asset allocation is comprised of 75 percent equities and 25 percent debt securities. Management of the plan's assets is delegated to the United States Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund. The fund manager has discretion to move away from the target allocations based upon the manager's judgment as to current confidence or concern for the capital markets. Investments are diversified by industry and type, limited by grade and maturity. The policy prohibits investments in any securities in the steel industry and allows derivatives subject to strict guidelines. Investment performance and risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment meetings and periodic asset and liability studies. 17 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE G - PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - CONTINUED CASH FLOWS Contributions MPC contributed $60 million to its funded pension plan in the six months ended December 31, 2005 and expects to contribute between $140 million and $190 million in 2006. Cash contributions to be paid from the general assets of MPC for both the unfunded pension and postretirement benefit plans were less than $1 million and $2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2005 and are expected to be approximately $1 million and $12 million in 2006. Estimated future benefit payments The following gross benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: Pension Benefits Other Benefits (a) ---------------- ------------------ (Millions) July to December 2005 $ 26 $ 2 January to December 2006 80 12 January to December 2007 91 14 January to December 2008 105 16 January to December 2009 117 19 January to December 2010 126 21 Years 2011 - 2015 782 146 (a) Expected Medicare reimbursements for 2006 through 2015 total $13 million. MPC also contributes to several defined contribution plans for eligible employees. Contributions to these plans totaled $15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, $26 million in the year 2004 and $26 million in the year 2003. NOTE H - INCOME TAXES The taxable income or loss resulting from the operations of MPC, except for several small subsidiary corporations, is ultimately included in the federal income tax returns of MOC and Ashland. MPC is, however, subject to taxation in certain state, local and foreign jurisdictions.

The deferred tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2005 included $20 million related to the effects of this Kentucky income tax on deferred tax assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2005. In addition, the current tax provision attributable to Kentucky was $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 of $26 million and $5 million, respectively, principally arise from differences between the book and tax basis of inventories and property, plant and equipment in certain state and local jurisdictions. A net deferred tax asset of $1 million was separately recorded at June 30, 2005 to recognize the deferred tax benefit of a state investment tax credit carryforward of $5 million less a valuation allowance of $3 million and deferred tax liabilities in that state of $1 million. A net deferred tax asset of $1 million was separately recorded at December 31, 2004 to recognize the deferred tax benefit of a state investment tax credit carryforward of $7 million less a valuation allowance of $5 million and deferred tax liabilities in that state of $1 million. The investment tax credits expire in 2012. 18 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE H - INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED Pretax income included $5 million, $7 million and $5 million attributable to foreign sources in the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

This facility requires a representation at an initial borrowing that there has been no change in the borrower's consolidated financial position or operations, considered as a whole, that would materially and adversely affect such borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the revolving credit facility. Interest on this facility is based on defined short-term market rates. During the term of the agreement, MPC is obligated to pay a variable facility fee on total commitments, which at June 30, 2005, was 0.125 percent. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, MPC had no borrowings under this credit facility. (b) Required payments of long-term debt for the six months ended December 31, 2006 are $1 million. Required payments of long-term debt for the years 2007-2010 are $3 million, $3 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively.

MPC's consolidated balance sheet is reported on a net asset/(liability) basis by brokerage firm, as permitted by the master netting agreements. (b) Certain physical commodity contracts are classified as nontraditional derivative instruments because certain volumes covered by these contracts are physically netted at particular delivery locations. Additionally, other physical contracts that involve flash title are accounted for as nontraditional derivative instruments. MPC recorded a net derivative loss of $173 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, with a derivative loss of $107 million recorded in revenue, a derivative loss of $32 million recorded in cost of revenues and a derivative loss of $34 million recorded in other income. In 2004, MPC recorded a net derivative loss of $264 million, with a derivative loss of $360 million recorded in cost of revenues, a derivative gain of $88 million recorded in revenue and a derivative gain of $8 million recorded in other income. In 2003, MPC recorded a net derivative loss of $162 million, with a derivative loss of $133 million recorded in cost of revenues, a derivative loss of $25 million recorded in revenue and a derivative loss of $4 million recorded in other income. NOTE S - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of most financial instruments is based on historical costs. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, long-term receivables and long-term debt approximate their fair value. MPC's unrecognized financial instruments consist of financial guarantees and commitments to extend credit. For details relating to financial guarantees, see Note T. NOTE T - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS MPC is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to MPC's consolidated financial statements. However, management believes that MPC will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS - MPC is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. Marathon and Ashland have retained the liabilities, subject to certain thresholds, for costs associated with remediating properties conveyed to MPC for conditions existing prior to January 1, 1998. The costs associated with these thresholds are not expected to be material to the MPC financial statements. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, MPC's accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $29 million and $26 million, respectively. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed. Receivables for recoverable costs from certain states, under programs to assist companies in cleanup efforts related to underground storage tanks at retail marketing outlets, were $15 million and $11 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. 23 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE T - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS - CONTINUED On May 11, 2001, MPC entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency which commits it to complete certain agreed-upon environmental programs over an eight-year period primarily aimed at reducing air emissions at its seven refineries. The court approved this consent decree on August 28, 2001. The total one-time expenditures for these environmental projects are approximately $420 million over the eight-year period, with about $250 million incurred through June 30, 2005. In addition, MPC has nearly completed certain agreed on supplemental environmental projects as part of this settlement of an enforcement action for alleged Clean Air Act violations, at a cost of $9 million. MPC believes that this settlement will provide MPC with increased permitting and operating flexibility while achieving significant emission reductions. MPC is a defendant along with many other refining companies in over 40 cases in 11 states alleging methyl tertiary-butyl ether ("MTBE") contamination in groundwater. All of these cases have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation in the Southern District of New York for preliminary proceedings. The judge in this multi-district litigation ruled on April 20, 2005 that some form of market share liability would apply. Market share liability enables a plaintiff to sue manufacturers who represent a substantial share of a market for a particular product and shift the burden of identification of who actually made the product to the defendants, effectively forcing a defendant to show that it did not produce the MTBE which allegedly caused the damage. The judge further allowed cases to go forward in New York and 11 other states, based upon varying theories of collective liability, and predicted that a new theory of market share liability would be recognized in Connecticut, Indiana and Kansas. The plaintiffs generally are water providers or governmental authorities and they allege that refiners, manufacturers and sellers of gasoline containing MTBE are liable for manufacturing a defective product and that owners and operators of retail gasoline sites have allowed MTBE to be discharged into the groundwater. Several of these lawsuits allege contamination that is outside of MPC's marketing area. A few of the cases seek approval as class actions. Many of the cases seek punitive damages or treble damages under a variety of statutes and theories. MPC stopped producing MTBE at its refineries in October 2002. The potential impact of these recent cases and future potential similar cases is uncertain. MPC will defend these cases vigorously. GUARANTEES - MPC has issued the following guarantees: MAXIMUM POTENTIAL UNDISCOUNTED PAYMENTS Term AS OF JUNE 30, 2005 ---- --------------------- (MILLIONS) Indebtedness of equity method investees: LOCAP (a) Perpetual-Loan Balance Varies $ 23 LOOP (a) 2005 - 2024 160 Centennial (b) 2007 - 2024 75 Other: Centennial catastrophic event (c) Indefinite 50 Mobile transportation equipment leases (d) 2005 - 2009 5 Terminal asset sale (e) Indefinite 5 (a) MPC holds interests in an offshore crude oil unloading port, LOOP, and a crude oil pipeline system, LOCAP. Both LOOP and LOCAP have secured various project financings with throughput and deficiency agreements. Under the agreements, MPC is required to advance funds if the investees are unable to service debt. Any such advances are considered prepayments of future transportation charges. The terms of the agreements vary but tend to follow the terms of the underlying debt. Assuming nonpayment by the investees, the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees is estimated to be $183 million. Included in these amounts are a LOOP revolving credit facility of $25 million and a LOCAP revolving credit facility of $23 million. The undrawn portion of the revolving credit facilities is $35 million. (b) MPC holds an interest in a refined products pipeline, Centennial, and has guaranteed the repayment of Centennial's outstanding balance under a Master Shelf Agreement, which expires in 2024, and a Credit Agreement, which expires in 2007. The guarantees arose in order to obtain adequate financing. Prior to expiration of the Master Shelf Agreement, MPC could be relinquished from responsibility under the guarantee should Centennial meet certain financial tests. If Centennial defaults on its outstanding balance, the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments is $75 million. (c) The agreement between Centennial and its members allows each member to contribute cash in lieu of Centennial procuring separate insurance in the event of third-party liability arising from a catastrophic event. There is an indefinite term for the agreement and each member is to contribute cash in proportion to its ownership interest, up to a maximum amount of $50 million. (d) These leases contain terminal rental adjustment clauses which provide that MPC will indemnify the lessor to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the asset at the end of the lease fall short of the specified minimum percent of the fair market value of the asset at the time of sale. 24 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE T - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS - CONTINUED (e) MPC entered into certain performance and general guarantees and environmental and general indemnifications in connection with the 2004 sale of a refined products terminal. The terms vary from 2006 to indefinite, and the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees and indemnifications is estimated to be $5 million. CONTRACT COMMITMENTS - At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, MPC's contract commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaled $257 million and $268 million, respectively. In May 2001, MPC entered into a Transportation Agreement with Centennial in which MPC guarantees to ship certain volumes on the Centennial system or make deficiency payments for any volume shortfall. Any deficiency payment made by MPC will be treated as a prepayment of future transportation charges. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, MPC made deficiency payments to Centennial of $1 million, $4 million and $4 million, respectively. PUT/CALL AGREEMENT - As part of the formation of PTC, MPC and Pilot entered into a Put/Call and Registration Rights Agreement ("Agreement"). The Agreement provides that any time after September 1, 2008, Pilot will have the right to sell its interest in PTC to MPC for an amount of cash and/or MOC, MPC or Ashland equity securities equal to the product of 90 percent (95 percent if paid in securities) of the fair market value of PTC at the time multiplied by Pilot's percentage interest in PTC. At any time after September 1, 2011, under certain conditions, MPC will have the right to purchase Pilot's interest in PTC for an amount of cash and/or MOC, MPC or Ashland equity securities equal to the product of 105 percent (110 percent if paid in securities) of the fair market value of PTC at the time multiplied by Pilot's percentage interest in PTC. Under the Agreement, MPC would determine the form of consideration to be paid upon exercise of the rights. NOTE U - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT ADOPTED AT JUNE 30, 2005 In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the FASB's interim guidance which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. MPC is currently studying the provisions of this statement to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 04-13, "Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty." The issue defines when a purchase and a sale of inventory with the same party that operates in the same line of business is recorded at fair value or considered a single nonmonetary transaction subject to the fair value exception of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 29. The purchase and sale transactions may be pursuant to a single contractual arrangement or separate contractual arrangements and the inventory purchased or sold may be in the form of raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods. In general, two or more transactions with the same party are treated as one if they are entered into in contemplation of each other. The rules apply to new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The accounting for certain of the transactions that MPC considers as matching buy/sell transactions will be affected by this consensus and therefore, upon adoption, these transactions will no longer be recorded on a gross basis. MPC is currently studying the provisions of this consensus to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, management does not believe any impact on net income would be material. There will be no impact on cash flows from operations as a result of adoption. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize (1) voluntary changes in accounting principle and (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143." This interpretation clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities when the retirement is conditional on a future event if the liability's fair value 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED NOTE U - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT ADOPTED AT JUNE 30, 2005 - CONTINUED can be reasonably estimated. If the liability's fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, then the entity must disclose (1) a description of the obligation, (2) the fact that a liability has not been recognized because the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, and (3) the reasons why the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. MPC adopted FIN No. 47 as of December 31, 2005. A charge of $43 million related to adopting FIN No. 47 was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the six months ended December 31, 2005. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." This amendment eliminates the APB Opinion No. 29 exception for fair value recognition of nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with an exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. MPC adopted SFAS No. 153 on a prospective basis as of July 1, 2005. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS No. 123(R)") as a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement requires entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. In addition, awards classified as liabilities will be remeasured each reporting period. MPC adopted the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 for grants made, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003. Accordingly, MPC does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The statement provided for an effective date of July 1, 2005, for MPC. However, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule that, for MPC, deferred the effective date until January 1, 2006. MPC adopted the provisions of this statement on January 1, 2006. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as a current-period charge. MPC is required to implement this statement in the first quarter of 2006. MPC does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 26
