NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

 

 

Footnotes To Note (b):

(1)

Segment data for 2001 has been reclassified to reflect the company's realignment of its businesses into five market- and technology-focused growth platforms, and the formation of a Textiles & Interiors subsidiary. The company also retained its Pharmaceuticals segment.

   

(2)

Includes pro rata share of equity affiliate sales and transfers. Excludes sales of intermediates by DuPont to joint ventures within the Textiles & Interiors segment.

   

(3)

Second quarter 2001 charges of $679 result from employee terminations, facility shutdowns, and asset impairments in the following segments: Agriculture & Nutrition - $80; Coatings & Color Technologies - $48; Electronic & Communication Technologies - $27; Performance Materials - $31; Safety & Protection - $34; Textiles & Interiors - $420; and Other - $39.

   

(4)

Second quarter 2002 includes charges of $29 to write off inventory associated with discontinued specialty herbicide products and $25 associated with an expected loss on the pending sale of a European manufacturing facility.

   
 

Second quarter and year-to-date 2001 include amortization expense for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets of $27 and $54, respectively. Year-to-date 2001 also includes a charge of $83 resulting from the sale of acquired Pioneer inventories.

   

(5)

Second quarter 2001 includes a gain of $34 resulting from the company's sale of stock that reduced its ownership interest in DuPont Photomasks.

   

(6)

Second quarter 2002 includes a benefit of $12 to reflect final settlement with Bristol-Myers Squibb in connection with the sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals.

   

(7)

Second quarter 2002 includes charges of $100 related to employee separation costs for approximately 2,000 employees and $43 related to facility shutdowns. Year-to-date 2002 also includes a charge of $29 to withdraw from a polyester joint venture in China, partly offset by a $19 gain resulting principally from a favorable litigation settlement associated with exiting a nylon joint venture in China.

   

(8)

Second quarter 2002 includes a charge of $31 to establish a litigation reserve related to a previously divested business.

   

(9)

Second quarter 2002 includes a charge of $17 associated with the early extinguishment of outstanding debentures. Year-to-date 2002 also includes an exchange loss of $63 resulting from the mandatory conversion of the company's U.S. dollar-denominated trade receivables to Argentine pesos and moving from a preferential to a free-market exchange rate.

   

(10)

Second quarter 2002 includes a net $65 noncash tax benefit, principally due to agreement on certain prior year audit issues previously reserved for, partly offset by the establishment of a reserve for an additional tax contingency.

Represents a rate of return to minority interest investors who made capital contributions during 2001 to consolidated subsidiaries.

   

(12)

On January 1, 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." During the second quarter, the company completed its review of goodwill and recorded a cumulative effect charge to income of $2,944 effective January 1, 2002. This charge is attributable to goodwill impairments of $2,866 in the Agriculture & Nutrition segment and $78 in the Textiles & Interiors segment related to previous acquisitions.

   
 

The company's adoption of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, on January 1, 2001 resulted in a cumulative effect benefit to income of $11.

 

(c)

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $191 versus the same period in the prior year. The change is primarily due to increased net monetary asset positions and a weakening U.S. dollar, which, when hedged, created net pretax losses totaling $126 in 2002 compared to $13 in 2001 (excluding equity affiliates). The pretax losses are largely offset by associated tax benefits. In addition, second quarter 2001 includes a $52 gain resulting from the company's sale of stock that reduced its ownership of DuPont Photomasks.

   
 

Year-to-date 2002 other income decreased $304, also primarily due to net exchange losses, which totaled $213 this year versus $10 last year. The 2002 year-to-date net exchange losses also include a loss of $63 resulting from the mandatory conversion of the company's U.S. dollar-denominated trade receivables to Argentine pesos and moving from a preferential to a free-market exchange.

   

(d)

Second quarter 2002 includes charges of $47 to write off inventory associated with discontinued specialty herbicide products and $50 to establish a litigation reserve related to a previously divested business. Year-to-date 2001 includes a charge of $133 resulting from the sale of acquired Pioneer inventories, which, in accordance with purchase accounting rules, were recorded at estimated fair value on October 1, 1999.

   

(e)

On January 1, 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized. In addition, an initial (and at least annually thereafter) impairment test of these assets must be performed. If the initial test results in impairment, an adjustment is to be recorded in net income as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (net of tax). Although a transitional impairment loss for goodwill may be measured in other than the first interim reporting period, it must be recognized in financial statements in the first interim period irrespective of the period in which measurement has been completed. Impairment losses after the initial adoption impairment are to be recorded as part of income from continuing operations.

During the second quarter of 2002, the company completed its initial review of goodwill and recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $2,944 effective January 1, 2002 to reduce the carrying value of its goodwill. As there is no tax benefit associated with this charge (goodwill arose in connection with the acquisition of stock versus a purchase of assets), both the pretax and after-tax amounts are the same. The details of this noncash charge are as follows:

Impairment Loss

Agriculture & Nutrition

$2,866

Textiles & Interiors

$2,944


 

A variety of fair valuation methods were used in measuring for impairment, including discounted net cash flow and comparable company multiples of revenues and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The primary factors that resulted in the impairment charge in the Agriculture & Nutrition segment are the difficult economic environment in the agriculture sector, slower than expected development of and access to biotech traits and a slower than expected rate of acceptance by the public of new ag biotech products. While the original strategic intent of the Textiles & Interiors commercial flooring business has not changed, the realization of the economic benefits from the business has been limited by poor economic conditions, particularly in the commercial office sector, and lower than expected margins in the competitive distribution market. These factors contributed to goodwill impairment in this segment. No impairment charge was appropria te for either of these businesses under the Financial Accounting Standard Board's previous impairment standard, which was based on undiscounted cash flows.

The aggregate amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $50 and $101 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The estimated aggregate pretax amortization for 2002 and each of the next five years is approximately $200, $200, $200, $195, $180, and $170.

   

(f)

Research and development expense (R&D) for the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $118 or 27% from the same period in the prior year. This change is primarily due to the divestiture of DuPont Pharmaceuticals, which accounted for approximately 31% of total R&D expense in the second quarter of 2001.

   
 

Year-to-date 2002 R&D expense decreased $241 or 28.5% over the prior year, also due to the divestiture of DuPont Pharmaceuticals.

   

(g)

Second quarter 2002 Interest Expense includes a charge of $21 for the early extinguishment of $242 of outstanding debentures. Due to the company's early adoption of SFAS No. 145 effective April 1, 2002, such extinguishment of debt would not be considered extraordinary as defined by APB Opinion No. 30 and therefore, is reported as a component of income from continuing operations. This charge principally represents premiums paid to investors. Interest expense excluding this charge is $77 lower in the second quarter of 2002 versus second quarter of 2001, primarily due to lower levels of debt.

   

(h)

During the second quarter of 2002, the company recorded total charges of $246 in the Textiles & Interiors and the Agriculture & Nutrition segments. A charge of $209 was recorded in the Textiles & Interiors segment in connection with a restructuring program instituted in the second quarter to better align the business with accelerating structural changes so as to become a more competitive integrated enterprise and to respond to continuing weakening economic conditions, particularly in the U.S. textile industry. This charge includes $154 related to termination payments for approximately 2,000 employees involved in technical, manufacturing, marketing and administrative activities. Termination benefits were communicated to employees prior to June 30, 2002, and such benefits may be settled over time or at the time of termination. Employee terminations will be completed by June 2003.

   
 

In addition, the second quarter 2002 charge in Textiles & Interiors included $55 related to the write-down of operating facilities that were shut down during the second quarter principally due to transferring production to more cost competitive facilities. This charge covers the net book value of facilities in the United States and South America of $42 and the estimated dismantlement and removal costs less proceeds from the sale of equipment and scrap of $13. Dismantlement and removal activities are expected to be essentially complete in 2003. The effect of these shutdowns on operating results was not material.

   
 

A charge of $37 was recorded in the Agriculture & Nutrition segment in connection with the company reaching a definitive agreement to sell a European manufacturing facility that was no longer required under the strategic business plan. This charge covers principally the write-down of the net book value of the facilities to fair value less cost to sell. The transaction is expected to close by mid-2003.

In addition to the above charges in the second quarter, year-to-date 2002 includes a net charge of $9 related to exiting joint ventures in China. Of this net charge, $39 was recorded to withdraw from a polyester joint venture due to depressed market conditions. This charge was partly offset by a $30 gain resulting principally from a favorable litigation settlement associated with the company's exit from a nylon joint venture in 1999.

   
 

Second quarter and year-to-date 2001 charges of $1,046 include $441 associated with termination payments for approximately 5,500 employees, $303 for asset impairments (principally the write-down of polyester assets to be sold to Alpek), and $302 related to the shutdown and dismantlement of several facilities. At June 30, 2002, essentially all employees had been terminated thereby completing this portion of the program. A complete discussion of these restructuring activities is contained in Item 8 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001 at Note 6 "Employee Separation Costs and Write-down of Assets."

(i)

During second quarter 2002, a benefit of $19 was recorded to reflect final settlement with Bristol-Myers Squibb in connection with the sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals, which occurred on October 1, 2001.

   

(j)

Second quarter 2002 includes a net $65 noncash tax benefit, principally due to agreement on certain prior year audit issues previously reserved for, partly offset by the establishment of a reserve for an additional tax contingency. In addition, the second quarter 2002 tax provision reflects income tax benefits associated with losses on forward exchange contracts that were entered into pursuant to the company's ongoing program to reduce foreign currency exchange exposure. See also Note (c).

   

(k)

On January 1, 2002, the company adopted SFAS No. 142 which resulted in a cumulative effect type charge to income of $2,944 (see Note (e)). On January 1, 2001, the company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended, which resulted in a pretax cumulative effect type benefit to income of $19 ($11 after-tax).

   

(l)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The numerator for both income (loss) before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and net income (loss) is reduced by preferred dividends of $2.5 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and $5.0 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. For diluted earnings per share, the denominator is based on the following weighted-average number of common shares and includes the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued:

1,041,759,701

1,041,962,856

1,047,878,439

 

The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding generally results from the assumption that dilutive stock options outstanding were exercised. The diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 excludes incremental shares of 6,025,863 related to in-the-money stock options. These shares are excluded due to their antidilutive effect as a result of the company's loss before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Contingencies

   
 

The company is subject to various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of its business. These lawsuits and claims include actions based on alleged exposures to products; intellectual property and environmental matters; and contract and antitrust claims. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and claims in the opinion of company counsel. However, while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims may be significant to the results of operations in the period recognized, management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company.

BenlateÒ

   
 

Since 1991 DuPont has been served with several hundred lawsuits alleging property damage, including damage to shrimping operations from various forms of BenlateÒ fungicide. A small number of cases allege personal injuries. Many of these cases include allegations of fraud and misconduct. The majority of these lawsuits were disposed of by trial, settlement or dismissal. However, certain plaintiffs who previously settled with the company have filed cases alleging fraud and other misconduct relating to the litigation and settlement of BenlateÒ claims. There are approximately 110 cases pending. DuPont believes that BenlateÒ did not cause the damages alleged in these cases and denies the allegations of fraud and misconduct. DuPont intends to defend itself in these cases.

   
 

Environmental

   
 

The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company has accrued for certain environmental remediation activities consistent with the company's policies as set forth in Note 1 to the company's consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the company's Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001. At June 30, 2002, such reserves amounted to $384 and, in management's opinion, are appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. Under adverse changes in circumstances, potential liability may exceed amounts accrued. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, they may be significant to results of operations of the company in the period recognized but management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.

   
 

Other

   
 

The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with certain affiliated and other companies to provide specified minimum revenues from shipments or purchases of products. At December 31, 2001, the company had directly guaranteed $953 of the obligations of certain affiliated companies and others. This amount has not changed significantly through the end of the second quarter of 2002 and no material loss is anticipated by reason of such agreements and guarantees. In addition, the company has historically guaranteed certain obligations of Conoco Inc., its former subsidiary, which totaled $267, plus interest, at June 30, 2002.

(a)    Results of Operations

(1)      Sales and Earnings:

For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, consolidated sales totaled $6.7 billion

compared to $7.0 billion in 2001, down 4 percent. This reflects a 5 percent negative impact due to divested businesses, 5 percent higher volume, and 4 percent lower prices. On a comparable business basis, consolidated sales increased 1 percent. Segment sales, including transfers and a pro rata share of sales by equity affiliates, were $7.4 billion, down 5 percent from $7.8 billion in 2001. On a comparable business basis (excluding divestitures), segment sales increased 1 percent.

Net income was $543 million for the second quarter 2002 compared to a loss of

$213 million in the second quarter of 2001, resulting in earnings per share of $.54 compared to a loss of $.21 last year. Share purchase programs reduced average outstanding shares by 4 percent. Year-to-date 2002 earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle were $1.01 per share versus comparable earnings of $.25 per share last year. Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle noncash charge of $2.94 effective January 1, 2002 for impairment of goodwill related to acquisitions in previous years. This resulted in a total year-to-date loss of $1.93 per share.

Management believes that an analysis of earnings before one-time items is

particularly meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company and allows readers of the financial statements to better evaluate the financial results of each segment. One-time items represent material transactions that are either unusual to the company's normal operations or occur infrequently. Net income before one-time items and segment after-tax operating income (ATOI) before one-time items are not measurements recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures of performance may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

The following analysis of operations includes discussion of the company's

financial performance before one-time items.

Net income before one-time items for the second quarter 2002 was $711 million

versus $432 million in 2001. The increase in earnings principally reflects higher Agriculture & Nutrition, Textiles & Interiors, Performance Materials and Pharmaceuticals after-tax operating income. Improved Agriculture & Nutrition results reflect, in part, a benefit from the absence of goodwill amortization as the result of adopting SFAS No. 142 in 2002.

One-time items are described in the notes to the accompanying financial

statements and are summarized in the table below:

As noted above, a restructuring program was instituted within Textiles & Interiors in

the second quarter 2002 to better align the business with accelerating structural changes so as to become a more competitive integrated enterprise and to respond to continuing weakening economic conditions, particularly in the U.S. textile business. Under the program, the company will terminate approximately 2,000 employees involved in technical, manufacturing, marketing and administrative activities and shut down operating facilities principally due to transferring production to more cost effective facilities. A more detailed description of these activities is contained in Note (h) to the accompanying financial statements.

As a result of this 2002 restructuring program, the company expects annual pretax

cost savings of about $120 million per year when completed. The company anticipates that about one-fourth of these annual savings will be realized by year-end 2002, with essentially all savings expected to be realized next year. About 80 percent of these savings will result in reduced Cost of Goods Sold and Other Operating Charges, with the remaining 20 percent expected to be divided evenly between Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Research and Development Expense. Payments from operating cash flows to terminated employees and third parties for dismantlement and removal activities are expected to total about $167 million. About 35 percent of these cash outlays are expected to be made in 2002, 45 percent in 2003, and most of the remainder in 2004.

(2)      Segment Results:

The following presents segment sales, ATOI and ATOI before one-time items for

the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Agriculture & Nutrition - Sales increased 3 percent and ATOI increased 92 percent.

ATOI before one-time items increased 42 percent primarily reflecting higher sales of crop production and food ingredient products worldwide together with lower fixed costs, as well as from the required adoption of SFAS 142 that eliminated the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. Excluding the change in amortization related to SFAS 142, second quarter ATOI increased 25 percent. Second half revenues could be negatively affected by political/economic uncertainties in South America, but this is not expected to have a material impact on full-year results.

Coatings & Color Technologies - Sales increased 2 percent as higher volumes were

largely offset by lower prices in titanium dioxide products. ATOI was $136 million, up 94 percent. ATOI before one-time items was up $18 million or 15 percent largely reflecting higher sales and improved margins.

Electronic & Communication Technologies - ATOI was $57 million down 24 percent

from $75 million last year. Sales and ATOI before one-time items decreased 6 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Most of this segment's major markets remain at or below last year's levels, particularly the electronics and wire and cable industries. Despite lower costs, after-tax margins have been squeezed by lower prices.

Performance Materials - ATOI was $126 million, up $109 million from last year. ATOI

before one-time items increased 163 percent on 5 percent higher sales reflecting higher volumes and the benefits of lower raw material costs. Sales volume increases in nylon resins and packaging polymers reflect inventory rebuilding in the motor vehicle industry and stronger demand in packaging markets, respectively. On July 31, 2002, the company completed its divestiture of the ClysarÒ shrink films business and expects to recognize a gain on the sale in the third quarter; annual sales of this business are about $100 million.

2Q2002Qg_4

Form 10-Q

 

 

Pharmaceuticals - ATOI was $72 million, reflecting the DuPont share of earnings from

CozaarÒ / HyzaarÒ .. Last year's second quarter earnings of $10 million reflects 100 percent of results from DuPont Pharmaceuticals, which was divested October 1, 2001.

Safety & Protection - Sales decreased 5 percent. ATOI was $119 million, up 24 percent

from $96 million last year. ATOI before one-time items declined 8 percent. Higher sales volumes for nonwoven products were more than offset by sales declines in aramid products, primarily reflecting lower sales to fiber optic cable markets, and in chemical products, due to relatively flat volume offset by lower prices and last year's product rationalization and divestiture.

Textiles & Interiors - ATOI was a loss of $52 million compared to a loss of $413 million

last year. Both periods include significant restructuring costs. ATOI before restructuring and other one-time items increased to $91 million from $7 million last year. ATOI benefited from lower raw material costs, increased capacity utilization, and reduced fixed cost spending due to prior year restructuring activities. Sales were 2 percent higher on a comparable basis. Modest sales growth resulted from strong volume gains largely offset by lower selling prices. Volume increased 9 percent led by improvements in flooring and spandex products.

The company announced its intention in February 2002 to create DuPont

Textiles & Interiors as a new wholly owned subsidiary. The Textiles & Interiors segment includes the nylon fibers, polyester fibers, LycraÒ brand fiber and spandex businesses, plus their intermediates and joint ventures. In February, the company also announced its intention to evaluate a complete range of separation options, including an initial public offering, with the separation to occur by year-end 2003, market conditions permitting. The company continues to assess actions to optimize its investment in its specific Textiles & Interiors businesses.

(3)      Outlook:

DuPont expects the global economic recovery to continue, but at a more modest

pace than the growth rates experienced in the first half, which benefited in part from inventory restocking. North America and Asia should continue to lead the way with a somewhat slower recovery expected in Europe. Economic conditions in South America remain uncertain.

While recent U.S. stock market turmoil creates more uncertainty about the pace of

recovery, strong housing and automotive markets, low inflation and interest rates, the weaker dollar, and improving productivity in the company's businesses all point to continued growth for DuPont. In addition, while the pricing environment remains difficult, it appears to have generally stabilized in most DuPont businesses and should begin to improve as demand continues to increase.

Based on the above outlook, and assuming the economic recovery continues on its

current tract, the company expects substantial improvement in second half 2002 results versus the depressed results of the prior year. The company expects third quarter 2002 net income before one-time items to be about double that of third quarter 2001. Fourth quarter 2002 is expected to be sequentially stronger, given seasonal trends combined with the expected continuation of economic recovery over the balance of the year. The company expects fourth quarter 2002 net income before one-time items to be about triple those of fourth quarter 2001.

(b)     Liquidity & Capital Resources

From December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002, the company's consolidated net debt (borrowings

and capital lease obligations less cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities) increased approximately $2.5 billion from $1.0 billion to $3.5 billion. The table below summarizes the changes in the company's consolidated net debt for this period:

Net Debt - June 30, 2002

$(3,491)


 

Cash used in the company's operations totaled $416 million for the six months ended

June 30, 2002. This primarily consisted of a $2 billion tax payment attributable to the 2001 gain on the sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals and seasonal working capital builds, which more than offset income from operations for the six-month period.

For the first half of the year, $631 million was used for purchases of property, plant and

equipment and investments in affiliates. Total 2002 purchases of property, plant and equipment and investments in affiliates are not expected to exceed $1.6 billion.

In the second quarter of 2002, the company acquired Liqui-Box Corp. for $272 million,

which brings total payments for businesses acquired for the year to $304 million. In addition, the company announced that it had a signed a definitive agreement to acquire ChemFirst, Inc. later in 2002 in a cash transaction valued at $408 million.

Proceeds from the sales of assets in the first half of 2002 reflect cash proceeds from the

sale of miscellaneous land and other plant assets, which were more than offset by payments of $122 million to Bristol-Myers Squibb to finalize issues relating to the 2001 sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals.

Dividends paid to stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled

$701 million. During the first quarter of 2002, the company purchased and retired $470 million of DuPont common stock, completing the DuPont common stock repurchase program that was approved by the Board of Directors in July 2000. The company's Board of Directors authorized a new $2 billion share buyback plan in June 2001. Management has not established a timeline for the buyback of stock under this plan.

As discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the company's most recent

Annual Report on Form 10-K, the company had guaranteed certain financial obligations of Conoco totaling $960 million. During the first quarter of 2002, $693 of these obligations had become nonrecourse, relieving the company of this portion of the guarantee.

In March 2002, the company implemented a commercial paper conduit financing program

to reduce the financing costs of the receivables securitization and synthetic lease programs by gaining direct access to the asset-backed commercial paper market. The receivables securitization program and the synthetic lease program are fully described in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, there had not been any change in the amount of assets under either of these programs. The conduit issues notes secured by the receivable interests and the equipment and real estate under synthetic leases. In addition, the notes are backed by liquidity support. As of June 30, 2002, the company was committed to provide up to $232 million of such support.

Management believes that the company's ability to generate cash from operations and its

capacity to issue short-term and long-term debt will be adequate to meet anticipated future cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, acquisitions, dividend payments and other cash needs in the foreseeable future.

(c)    Other Items

Acquisition of Liqui-Box Corporation

Effective May 31, 2002, DuPont Canada (a majority-owned subsidiary of the company)

acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Liqui-Box Corporation for $272 million, net of cash acquired. The company plans to report the results of the acquisition, together with DuPont Canada's existing packaging business, as part of the Agriculture & Nutrition segment beginning in the third quarter of 2002. Annual sales of Liqui-Box are approximately $150 million.

Acquisition of ChemFirst, Inc.

On July 23, 2002, DuPont announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire

ChemFirst, Inc., in a cash merger transaction valued at $408 million, with a ChemFirst per share value of $29.20. The acquisition is expected to be about $.01 per share dilutive in the first 12 months due to integration costs and accretive thereafter.

ChemFirst is a global supplier of electronic chemicals and materials to the semiconductor

industry and specialty intermediates for polyurethane and other applications. The company had 2001 sales of $278 million. ChemFirst has approximately 480 employees and primary manufacturing facilities in Pascagoula, Mississippi; Baytown, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Hayward, California, with operations in Scotland and Japan. This acquisition will be integrated into the company's Electronic & Communication Technologies and Safety & Protection segments.

The agreement must be approved by ChemFirst shareholders and is subject to regulatory

approval. J. Kelley Williams, CEO and chairman of ChemFirst, has agreed to vote his shares, representing more than 8 percent of ChemFirst's outstanding shares, in favor of the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Purchased In-Process Research and Development

Pioneer Hi-Bred International's project to develop resistance to corn rootworm is now

expected to be completed in 2005 or 2006, with a probability of technical and commercial success estimated to be greater than 50 percent in 2005. At December 31, 2001, this project was expected to be completed in 2004 with a probability of technical and commercial success estimated to be 80 percent. Delays for this project resulted from certain agronomic effects of the gene and regulatory issues.

Pioneer's project to develop nuclear male sterility in corn is now expected to be completed

between 2006 and 2008, with a probability of technical and commercial success estimated to be from 25 percent by 2006, 75 percent by 2007 and 95 percent by 2008. At December 31, 2001, this project was expected to be completed in 2006 with a probability of technical and commercial success of 95 percent. Delays for this project resulted from a change in the type of technology used to develop the trait (due to regulatory issues) and a decision to stack this trait with other desirable consumer-oriented traits before commercialization.

Projects to develop sclerotinia resistance in oil seeds were discontinued due to regulatory

concerns.

Failures to complete, and or delays in completion of these projects, are not expected to

have a material adverse impact on the company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. All other research and development projects remain on course as disclosed in the management's discussion and analysis in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pioneer Intellectual Property Disputes

On April 2, 2002, the company, together with the Monsanto Company, announced that they

had reached a business agreement that includes the settlement of all pending lawsuits between them. The agreement gives both companies cross-licenses to enabling technologies that enhance the performance of corn, canola, and soybean crops, and improve the farmer's productivity and efficiency.

New Accounting Standards

In 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." The company previously announced that it will adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The provisions require companies to record an asset and related liability for the costs associated with the retirement of a long-lived tangible asset if a legal liability to retire the asset exists. The company continues to evaluate the impact of adopting this standard.

On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with

Exit or Disposal Activities." The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This standard has no effect on the company's restructuring programs for 2002 and prior years. The company is in the process of reviewing the provisions of the new standard to determine its potential impact.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 1991, DuPont began receiving claims by growers that use of BenlateÒ 50 DF fungicide

had caused crop damage. DuPont has since been served with several hundred lawsuits most of which were disposed of by trial, dismissal or settlement. Approximately 110 cases are pending. Some of these lawsuits were filed by growers who allege plant damage from using BenlateÒ 50 DF, and, in some cases, BenlateÒ WP. Some include claims for alleged damage to shrimping operations from BenlateÒ OD, and a smaller number of cases include claims for alleged personal injuries. Also, many of these cases include allegations of fraud and misconduct, as well as violations of Federal and State racketeering laws. In August 2001, a Florida jury found DuPont liable under Florida's racketeering statute and for product defects involving alleged crop damage. In March 2002, pursuant to DuPont's motion, the judge withdrew the jury's finding of liability under the racketeering statute and entered judgment for the plaintiffs in the approximate amount of $29 million. The judgment was later reduced to $26 million. DuPont will appeal.

In addition, a securities fraud class action was filed in September 1995 by a shareholder in

federal district court in Florida against the company and the then-Chairman. This action is still pending. The plaintiff in this case alleges that DuPont made false and misleading statements and omissions about BenlateÒ 50 DF, with the alleged effect of inflating the price of DuPont's stock between June 19, 1993, and January 27, 1995. The district court has certified the case as a class action. Discovery is proceeding.

Certain plaintiffs who previously settled with the company have filed cases alleging fraud

and other misconduct relating to the litigation and settlement of BenlateÒ 50 DF claims. Approximately 47 such cases were filed. Recently, the Florida Federal Court dismissed the lead case of 25 cases pending before it. Plaintiffs have appealed. The remaining cases are in various stages of development in trial and appellate courts in Florida and Hawaii.

A shareholder derivative action was filed in August of 2001 in Florida. The suit alleged the

Board of Directors breached various duties in connection with BenlateÒ litigation and asserted claims under the Federal and State racketeering laws. This case has been dismissed by the plaintiff.

Twenty-eight cases are pending against the company in State Court in Broward County,

Florida. These cases were brought by Ecuadorian shrimp farmers alleging that BenlateÒ OD applied to banana plantations in Ecuador ran-off and was deposited in plaintiffs' shrimp farms, causing massive numbers of shrimp to die. Two cases were tried in the fall of 2000 and in early 2001, which resulted in adverse judgments of approximately $14 million and $16 million, respectively. The company has appealed both cases. DuPont contends that the injuries alleged are attributable to a virus, Taura Syndrome Virus, and in no way involve BenlateÒ OD. The 26 untried cases are on hold pending the resolution of this appeal. In the appeal of the case tried in the fall of 2000, the company expects that all briefs will be submitted to the appellate court by the end of August, 2002.

DuPont believes BenlateÒ did not cause the damages alleged in these cases and denies

the allegations of fraud and misconduct. DuPont continues to defend itself in ongoing matters. The ultimate liabilities from the BenlateÒ lawsuits discussed above may be significant to the results of operations of the company in the period recognized, but management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.

The company's consolidated balance sheet reflects accruals for estimated costs associated

with these matters. Adverse changes in estimates for such liabilities could result in additional future charges.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) and DuPont signed

a Multimedia Order in November of 2001 that requires sampling, analyses and the development of screening levels for the surfactant ammonium perfluorooctanoate, or APFO, used by DuPont's Washington Works plant in Wood County, West Virginia. The Order requires that DuPont investigate the levels of APFO in the local environment and drinking water and fund a study by toxicologists, supervised by the WVDEP, to determine acceptable levels of APFO in the environment and drinking water. Through this process, a screening level of 150 micrograms of APFO per liter of drinking water was established in May 2002. None of the local sources of drinking water has tested near the screening level. Unless DuPont violates its terms, the Multimedia Order does not call for sanctions. The cost of the DuPont activities pursuant to the Order is likely to exceed $1 million. DuPont has completed approximately 75% of the work required by the Order.

Recent sampling across the Ohio River has disclosed APFO levels in groundwater and

drinking water in Ohio. These results were shared with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Although the Multimedia Order does not apply in Ohio, DuPont is funding investigations of ground and drinking water in that state comparable to the studies in West Virginia. In addition, DuPont signed a Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Consent Order with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in March of 2002 to assure provision of alternative drinking water if supplies are found to exceed screening levels established under the Multimedia Order. However, now that the screening level has been established, it is unlikely that DuPont will be required to provide alternative drinking water to anyone under the SDWA Consent Order since the levels of APFO in drinking water tested to date are well below the screening level. Despite this fact, a class action has been filed in West Virginia state court against DuPont and the Lubeck Public Service District. The action alleges that the class has or may suffer deleter ious health affects from exposure to APFO in drinking water. The class has been defined as anyone who has consumed drinking water affected by APFO from operation of the Washington Works Plant, which could include tens of thousands of people. DuPont does not believe that consumption of drinking water with low levels of APFO has caused, or will cause, deleterious health affects and intends to defend itself vigorously.
