Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Litigation-Information relative to legal proceedings pending against Texaco Inc. and subsidiary companies is presented in Note 17, Contingent Liabilities, on page 59 of Texaco Inc.'s 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, which note is incorporated herein by reference.
As of December 31, 1994, Texaco Inc. and its subsidiaries were parties to various proceedings instituted by governmental authorities arising under the provisions of applicable laws or regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, none of which is material to the business or financial condition of the Company. The following is a brief description of proceedings which, because of the amounts involved, require disclosure under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.
On June 9, 1992, an administrative complaint was served on Texaco Chemical Company ("TCC")* by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), Region VI, alleging certain violations of the State Implementation Plan at TCC's Port Neches, Texas chemical plant. The EPA is seeking civil penalties of $149,000. Texaco Inc. is contesting liability.
On December 28, 1992, an administrative complaint was served on TCC by the EPA, Region VI, alleging hazardous waste, PCB, release notification and reporting violations at TCC's Port Neches chemical plant. The EPA is seeking civil penalties of $3.8 million. Texaco Inc. is contesting liability.
On January 21, 1994, an administrative proceeding was initiated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC"), alleging violations of the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act and the Texas Water Code at TCC's Port Neches chemical plant. The TNRCC is seeking civil penalties of $381,840 and remediation of alleged violations. Texaco Inc. is contesting liability.
On May 23, 1994, the EPA, Region VII, instituted an administrative proceeding alleging that on 12 occasions pipelines owned by Texaco Trading and Transportation Inc. ("TTTI") released oil into surface waters in violation of the Federal Clean Water Act. The agency is seeking a penalty of $10,000 for each release. TTTI is contesting liability.
On February 15, 1995, Texaco Refining and Marketing Inc. ("TRMI") and Star Enterprise ("Star") settled an administrative matter pending before the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. The State alleged that hydrocarbons were discharged into groundwaters at the Pittsburgh Terminal, formerly owned by TRMI, in violation of Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Act and Solid Waste Disposal Act.
On February 22, 1995, Texaco Refining and Marketing (East) Inc. and Star entered into an Agreed Judicial Consent Order to settle an action contemplated against them and another company by the TNRCC alleging violations of the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act and Texas Water Code at Star's Port Arthur, Texas refinery.
_______________ * Texaco Chemical Company was sold on April 21, 1994 and, by agreement, Texaco Inc. retains obligations applicable to events occurring prior to the closing date.
In February 1995, TRMI settled an investigative matter conducted by the California Air Resources Board to determine TRMI's and other gasoline marketers' compliance with California's additive injection requirements during 1992 and 1993.
In February 1995, Texaco Inc., Texaco Caribbean Inc. and Texaco Puerto Rico Inc. settled a suit filed in 1991 against the three companies by the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority ("WAPA"). The suit alleged that a leak from an underground storage tank at a Texaco service station in St. Croix contaminated a WAPA water well.
In addition, Texaco Inc., on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates, has agreed to participate in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA") Section 8(e) Compliance Audit Program. There are 125 participants in this program. As a participant, Texaco has agreed to audit its files for materials which under current EPA guidelines would be subject to substantial risk notification under Section 8(e) of TSCA and to pay stipulated penalties for each such report submitted under this program. Based on its audit to date, Texaco estimates that its liability will be in excess of $100,000, but is unable to calculate the exact amount at this time. However, under this program, Texaco's liability cannot exceed $1 million in the aggregate. No administrative proceeding is pending; however, Texaco will be required to enter an Administrative Order On Consent pursuant to this program in late 1995 or 1996.

CALTEX GROUP OF COMPANIES GENERAL INFORMATION
The Caltex Group of Companies (Group) is jointly owned 50% each by Chevron Corporation and Texaco Inc. The private joint venture was created in Bahrain in 1936 by its two owners to produce, transport, refine and market crude oil and refined products. The Group is comprised of the following companies:
* Caltex Petroleum Corporation, a company incorporated in Delaware, that through its many subsidiaries and affiliates, conducts refining, marketing and transporting activities in the Eastern Hemisphere;
* P. T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia, an exploration and production company incorporated and operating in Indonesia;
* American Overseas Petroleum Limited, a company incorporated in the Bahamas, that, through its subsidiaries, manages certain exploration and production operations in Indonesia in which Chevron and Texaco have interests, but not necessarily jointly or in the same properties.
A brief description of each company's operations and the Group's environmental activities follows:
Caltex Petroleum Corporation (Caltex) -------------------------------------
Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, Caltex operates in 61 countries with some of the highest economic and petroleum growth rates in the world, principally in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, New Zealand and Australia. Certain refining and marketing operations are conducted through joint ventures, with equity interests in 14 refineries in 11 countries. Caltex' share of refinery inputs approximated 920,000 barrels per day in 1994. Caltex continues to improve its refineries with investments designed to provide higher yields and meet environmental regulations. Construction of a new 130,000 barrels per day refinery in Thailand is progressing with completion anticipated in 1996. At year end 1994, Caltex had over 8,000 employees, of which about 3% were located in the United States.
With a strong presence in its principal operating areas, Caltex has an average market share of 17.4% with refined product sales of approximately 1.3 million barrels per day in 1994. Caltex built 119 new branded retail outlets during 1994 and refurbished 177 existing locations in its aim to upgrade its retail distribution network.
Caltex conducts international crude oil and refined product logistics and trading operations from a subsidiary in Singapore. Other offices are located in London, Dallas, Capetown, Bahrain and Tokyo. The company has an interest in a fleet of vessels and owns or has equity interests in numerous pipelines, terminals and depots. Currently, Caltex is active in the petrochemical business, particularly in Japan and South Korea.
P. T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI) ------------------------------------
CPI holds a Production Sharing Contract in Central Sumatra for which the Indonesian government granted an extension to the year 2021 during 1992. CPI also acts as operator for four other petroleum contract areas in Sumatra, which are jointly held by Chevron and Texaco. Exploration is pursued through an area comprising 2.446 million acres with production established in the giant Minas and Duri fields, along with more than 80 smaller fields. Gross production from fields operated by CPI for 1994 was 718,000 barrels per day. CPI entitlements are sold to its shareholders, who use it in their systems or sell it to third parties. At year-end 1994, CPI had over 6,400 employees, all located in Indonesia.
CALTEX GROUP OF COMPANIES GENERAL INFORMATION
American Overseas Petroleum Limited (AOPL) ------------------------------------------
In addition to coordinating the CPI activities, AOPL, through its subsidiary Amoseas Indonesia Inc., manages Texaco's and Chevron's undivided interest holdings which include ten contract areas in Indonesia, excluding Sumatra. Oil production is currently established in two contract areas, while exploration was being pursued in seven others. Before year end 1994, two of those seven exploration areas had been relinquished. The remaining area is in Darajat, West Java, which contains geothermal reserves sufficient to supply a 55-megawatt power generating plant for over 30 years. Production of the geothermal reserves began in 1994 and amounted to 62,185,795 KWH. AOPL's 1994 share of crude oil production amounted to 18,600 barrels per day. At year end, AOPL had 254 employees, of which about 13% were located in the United States.
Environmental Activities ------------------------
The Group's activities are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations in each of the countries in which it operates. Such regulations vary significantly in degree of scope, standards and enforcement. The Group's policy is to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. The Group has an active program to ensure its environmental standards are maintained, which includes closely monitoring applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as enforcement policies, in each of the countries in which it operates, and conducting periodic environmental compliance audits. At December 31, 1994, the Group had accrued $12 million for various remediation activities. The environmental guidelines and definitions promulgated by the American Petroleum Institute provide the basis for reporting the Group's expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Group, including its equity share of nonsubsidiary companies, incurred capital costs of $233 million and nonremediation related operating expenses of $132 million. The major component of the Group's expenditures is for the prevention of air pollution. In addition, as of December 31, 1994, reserves relative to the future cost of restoring and abandoning existing oil and gas properties were $27 million. Based upon existing statutory and regulatory requirements, investment and operating plans and known exposures, the Group believes environmental expenditures will not materially affect its liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
Independent Auditors' Report ----------------------------
To the Stockholders The Caltex Group of Companies:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Caltex Group of Companies as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related combined statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Caltex Group of Companies as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, effective January 1, 1992, the Group adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 1994, the Group adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements of the Caltex Group of Companies (Group) include the accounts of Caltex Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries, American Overseas Petroleum Limited and subsidiary and P.T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. A subsidiary of Chevron Corporation and two subsidiaries of Texaco Inc. (stockholders) each own 50% of the outstanding common shares. The Group is primarily engaged in exploring, producing, refining and marketing crude oil and refined products in the Eastern Hemisphere. The Group employs accounting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all principal subsidiary operations. Nonsubsidiary companies in Japan and Korea use the local currency as the functional currency.
Inventories
Crude oil and refined product inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method) or current market value. Costs include applicable purchase and refining costs, duties, import taxes, freight, etc. Materials and supplies are valued at average cost.
Investments and Advances
Investments in and advances to nonsubsidiary companies in which 20% to 50% of the voting stock is owned by the Group, or in which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method. Under this method, the Group's equity in the earnings or losses of these companies is included in current results, and the related investments reflect the equity in the book value of underlying net assets. Investments in other nonsubsidiary companies are carried at cost and related dividends are reported as income.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for capitalized costs relating to the producing area, including intangible development costs, are computed using the unit-of-production method.
All other assets are depreciated by class on a uniform straight-line basis. Depreciation rates are based upon the estimated useful life of each class of property.
Maintenance and repairs necessary to maintain facilities in operating condition are charged to income as incurred. Additions and betterments that materially extend the life of properties are capitalized. Upon disposal of properties, any net gain or loss is included in other income.
CALTEX GROUP OF COMPANIES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Environmental Matters
Compliance with environmental regulations is determined in consideration of the existing laws in each of the countries in which the Group operates and the Group's own internal standards. The Group capitalizes expenditures that create future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation. Remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known environmental exposure even if uncertainties exist about the ultimate cost of the remediation. Such accruals are based on the best available nondiscounted estimated costs using data developed by third party experts. Costs of environmental compliance for past and ongoing operations, including maintenance and monitoring, are expensed as incurred. Recoveries from third parties are recorded as assets when realization is determined to be probable.
(2) Changes In Accounting Principles
The Group adopted SFAS No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" effective January 1, 1992, using the immediate recognition option. SFAS No. 106 requires accrual, during the employees' service with the Group, of the cost of their retiree health and life insurance benefits. Prior to 1992, postretirement benefits were included in expense as the benefits were paid. The adoption of SFAS No. 106 resulted in a cumulative after-tax charge of $26 million.
Effective January 1, 1992, deferred income taxes are recognized according to the asset and liability method specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" by applying individual jurisdiction tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The effect of tax rate changes on previously recorded deferred taxes is recognized in the current year. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 resulted in a cumulative benefit of $77 million.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Group adopted SFAS No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 requires companies to accrue for the cost for benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but prior to retirement. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact the combined financial statements of the Group.
The Group adopted SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" effective January 1, 1994. SFAS No. 115 requires that investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities be classified into three categories based on management's intent. Such investments are to be reported at fair value except for debt securities intended to be held to maturity which are to be reported at amortized cost. Previously, all such investments were accounted for at amortized cost. The cumulative effect of this change at January 1, 1994 was an increase in stockholders' equity of $70 million, after related taxes, representing unrealized net gains applicable to securities categorized as available-for-sale under the new standard. Such securities are primarily held by nonsubsidiary companies accounted for by the equity method.

(3) Inventories
The excess of current cost over the stated value of inventory maintained on the LIFO basis was approximately $56 million and $40 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, inventory quantities maintained on the LIFO basis were reduced at certain locations. The inventory reductions resulted in a decrease in the earnings of consolidated subsidiaries and nonsubsidiary companies at equity of approximately $12 million and $2 million in 1994 and 1992, respectively, and an increase in earnings of $1 million in 1993.
Charges of $104 million reduced income in 1993 to reflect a market value of certain inventories lower than their LIFO carrying value. Earnings of $34 million and $14 million were recorded in 1994 and 1992, respectively, to reflect a partial recovery of prior year charges.
(4) Nonsubsidiary Companies at Equity
Investments in and advances to nonsubsidiary companies at equity at December 31 include the following (in millions):
Shown below is summarized combined financial information for these nonsubsidiary companies (in millions):

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(4) Nonsubsidiary Companies at Equity - Continued
Retained earnings at December 31, 1994, includes $1.4 billion representing the Group's share of undistributed earnings of nonsubsidiary companies at equity.
Cash dividends received from these nonsubsidiary companies were $43 million, $37 million, and $30 million in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
Sales to the other 50 percent owner of Nippon Petroleum Refining Company, Ltd. of products refined by Nippon Petroleum Refining Company, Ltd. and Koa Oil Company, Ltd. were approximately $2 billion, $1.9 billion, and $2 billion in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
(5) Notes Payable
Short-term financing consists primarily of demand loans, promissory notes, acceptance credits and overdrafts. The weighted average interest rates on short-term financing at December 31, 1994, and 1993 were 6.8% and 4.7%, respectively.
Unutilized lines of credit available for short-term financing totaled $678 million at December 31, 1994.
(6) Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations
Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, with related interest rates at December 31, 1994, consist of the following (in millions):
CALTEX GROUP OF COMPANIES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(6) Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations - Continued
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, $124 million and $101 million, respectively, of short-term borrowings were classified as long-term debt. Settlement of these obligations is not expected to require the use of working capital in 1995, as the Group has both the intent and ability to refinance this debt on a long-term basis. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, $170 million and $101 million, respectively, of long-term committed credit facilities were available with major banks to support notes payable classified as long-term debt.
Contractual maturities subsequent to December 31, 1994 follow (in millions): 1995 - $157 (included on the combined balance sheet as a current liability and excluding short-term borrowings classified as long-term debt); 1996 - $101; 1997 - $61; 1998 - $94; 1999 - $137; 2000 and thereafter - $322.
(7) Employee Benefits
The Group has retirement plans covering substantially all eligible employees. Generally, these plans provide defined benefits based on final or final average pay, as defined. The benefit levels, vesting terms and funding practices vary among plans.
The funded status of retirement plans, primarily foreign and inclusive of nonsubsidiary companies at equity, at December 31 follows (in millions):

The Group has various operating leases involving service stations, equipment and other facilities for which net rental expense was $121 million, $110 million, and $95 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Future net minimum rental commitments under operating leases having noncancelable terms in excess of one year are as follows (in millions): 1995 - $55; 1996 - $67; 1997 - $52; 1998 - $47; 1999 - $44; 2000 and thereafter - $106.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
On January 25, 1990, Caltex Petroleum Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries were named as defendants, along with privately held Philippine ferry and shipping companies and the shipping company's insurer, in a lawsuit filed in Houston, Texas State Court. After removal to Federal District Court in Houston, the litigation's disposition turned on questions of federal court jurisdiction and whether the case should be dismissed for forum non conveniens. The plaintiffs' petition purported to be a class action on behalf of at least 3,350 parties, who were either survivors of, or next of kin of persons deceased in a collision in Philippine waters on December 20, 1987. One vessel involved in the collision was carrying Group products in connection with a freight contract. Although the Group had no direct or indirect ownership in or operational responsibility for either vessel, various theories of liability were alleged against the Group. No specific monetary recovery was sought although the petition contained a variety of demands for various categories of compensatory as well as punitive damages. These issues were resolved in the Group's favor by the Federal District Court in March 1992, through a forum non conveniens dismissal, and that decision is now final. Subsequent to that dismissal, but consistent with its terms, cases were filed against the Group entities in the Philippine courts (over and above those previously filed there subsequent to the collision, all of which are in various stages of litigation and are being vigorously resisted). However, and notwithstanding the Houston Federal District Court dismissal, the plaintiffs filed another lawsuit, alleging the same causes of action as in the Texas litigation, in Louisiana State Court in New Orleans. The Group removed that case to Federal District Court in New Orleans from which it was remanded back to Louisiana State Court. The Group then sought injunctive and other relief from the Federal District Court in Houston in order to ensure that that Court's previous dismissal would be given proper effect. On having its request for relief denied, the Group then filed an expedited appeal to the U. S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. That Court's ruling is expected shortly. Management is contesting this case vigorously. It is not possible to estimate the amount of damages involved, if any.
The Group may be subject to loss contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations in each of the countries in which it operates that, in the future, may require the Group to take action to correct or remediate the effects on the environment of prior disposal or release of petroleum substances by the Group. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as the nature of the new regulations, the unknown magnitude of any possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third party insurance.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies - Continued
The Group is also involved in certain other litigation and Internal Revenue Service tax audits that could involve significant payments if such items are all ultimately resolved adversely to the Group.
While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to the above mentioned contingent liabilities, the aggregate amount that may arise from such liabilities is not anticipated to be material in relation to the Group's combined financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Unconditional purchase obligations in 1992 and 1993 were not considered material. However, in April 1994, a Group subsidiary entered into a contractual commitment, effective October 1996, for a period of eleven years, to purchase refined products in conjunction with the financing of a refinery that is presently under construction by a nonsubsidiary company. Total future estimated commitments (in billions) for the Group under this and other similar contracts, based on current pricing and projected growth rates, are: 1995 - $.6, 1996 - $.9, 1997 - $1.1, 1998 - $1.3, 1999 - $1.5, and 2000 to expiration of contracts - $9.6. Purchases (in billions) under similar contracts were $.5, $.6, and $.4 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
The Group is in the process of finalizing sales of certain property required by a local government. The Group will be compensated for the value of the property transferred and the cost of replacing operating assets affected by the transfer. While the compensation is to be fully utilized in the reconstruction program over a five year period, the excess of the compensation over the net book value of the property and the dismantled operating assets will be recognized in earnings in early 1995. The impact to the Group's earnings is currently estimated to be a net after-tax gain of approximately $155 million.
(10) Financial Instruments
Certain Group companies are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit and market risk, principally interest rate risk. As of December 31, the Group had commitments outstanding for interest rate swaps and foreign currency transactions for which the notional or contractual amounts are as follows (in millions):
The Group enters into interest rate swaps in managing its interest rate risk, and their effects are recognized in the statement of income at the same time as the interest expense on the debt to which they relate. The swap contracts have remaining maturities up to eight years. The fair values of these swaps are not material.
The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against some of its foreign currency exposure stemming from existing liabilities and firm commitments. Forward exchange contracts hedging existing liabilities have maturities of up to seven years, and those contracts hedging firm commitments have maturities of under a year. Gains and losses on the forward exchange contracts are recognized in income concurrent with the income recognition of the underlying hedged transaction. The fair values of these forward exchange contracts are not material.

(10) Financial Instruments - Continued
The Group's activity in commodity-based derivative contracts, that must be settled in cash, is not material.
The Group's long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations, of $704 million and $497 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, had fair values of $696 million and $511 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The fair value estimates were based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at current market rates for similar obligations. The reported amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, and all current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturity.
At December 31, 1994, the Group had investments in debt securities available-for-sale and debt securities held to maturity at amortized costs of $63 million (maturity less than ten years) and $77 million (maturity less than one year), respectively. The fair value of these securities approximates amortized costs. The investment in marketable equity securities is not material. At December 31, 1994, the Group's carrying amount for investments in nonsubsidiary companies accounted for at equity included $83 million for net-of-tax unrealized net gains on investments held by these nonsubsidiaries.
Certain Group companies were contingently liable as guarantors for $2 million and $7 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Group also had commitments of $99 million and $36 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, in the form of letters of credit which have been issued on behalf of Group companies to facilitate either the Group's or other parties' ability to trade in the normal course of business. In addition, the Group is contingently liable at December 31, 1994, for a maximum of $192 million, to a nonsubsidiary for precompletion sponsor support of its project finance obligations.
The Group is exposed to credit risks in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments. For financial instruments with institutions, the Group does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. Other financial instruments exposed to credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. These receivables are dispersed among the countries in which the Group operates, thus limiting concentrations of such risk.
The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Letters of credit are the principal security obtained to support lines of credit when the financial strength of a customer or country is not considered sufficient. Credit losses have been historically within management's expectations.
(11) Taxes
Taxes charged to income consist of the following (in millions):

(11) Taxes - Continued
The provision for income taxes, substantially all foreign, has been computed on an individual company basis at rates in effect in the various countries of operation. The actual tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense (computed by applying the U.S. Federal corporate tax rate to income before provision for income taxes) as follows:
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows (in millions):

(11) Taxes - Continued
The valuation allowance has been established to record deferred tax assets at amounts where recoverability is more likely than not. Net income was decreased in 1994 by $3 million and increased by $36 million and $5 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively, for changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Undistributed earnings for which no deferred income tax provision has been made approximated $3.8 billion at December 31, 1994. Such earnings have been or are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. These earnings would become taxable in the U.S. only upon remittance as dividends. It is not practical to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings. Upon remittance, certain foreign countries impose withholding taxes which, subject to certain limitations, are then available for use as tax credits against a U.S. tax liability, if any.
(12) Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
The "Changes in Operating Working Capital" consists of the following (in millions):
"Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities" includes the following cash payments for interest and income taxes (in millions):
No significant non-cash investing or financing transactions occurred in 1994, 1993 or 1992.
(13) Other
On December 14, 1994, Caltex Australia Limited (CAL), a subsidiary of the Group, entered into a conditional agreement to form a petroleum refining and marketing joint venture with Ampol Limited, a competitor, effective January 1, 1995. The agreement was subject to completion of certain conditions which included, among others, confirmation by the Australian Trade Practices Commission (TPC) that the merger would not contravene local laws. On February 2, 1995, CAL received notification of the TPC's opinion that the merger would lessen competition and, therefore, would contravene Australian regulations. CAL and Ampol Limited are currently evaluating alternative options to address the TPC ruling and have not yet formed a joint venture.
