PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) was incorporated in Utah in
1969. The Corporation's principal executive offices are located at 1416 Dodge
Street, Room 1230, Omaha, NE 68179. The telephone number at that address is
(402) 271-5777. The Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "UNP".
A copy of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the Corporation's
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments
to such reports are available, free of charge, on the Internet at the
Corporation's website www.up.com/investors. The reference to the Corporation's
website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the
information contained on the website and should not be considered part of this
document.
The Corporation operates primarily in the areas of rail transportation,
through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UPRR or the Railroad), and trucking, which includes Overnite Transportation
Company (OTC) and Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. (Motor Cargo) as of November 30,
2001, both operating as separate and distinct subsidiaries of Overnite
Corporation (Overnite), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UPC. The details
of strategic transactions in recent years are as follows:
SOUTHERN PACIFIC - During 2001, UPC completed its integration of Southern
Pacific's rail operations. UPC consummated the acquisition of Southern Pacific
in September 1996 for $4.1 billion. Sixty percent of the outstanding Southern
Pacific common shares was converted into UPC common stock and the remaining 40%
of the outstanding shares was acquired for cash. UPC initially funded the cash
portion of the acquisition with credit facility borrowings, all of which have
been subsequently refinanced with other borrowings. The acquisition of Southern
Pacific has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and was
fully consolidated into UPC results beginning October 1996.
MEXICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION - During 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of
partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and
Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico and a 25% stake in the Mexico City Terminal
Company at a price of $525 million. The consortium assumed operational control
of both lines in 1998. In March 1999, the Railroad purchased an additional 13%
ownership interest for $87 million from one of its partners. The Railroad
currently holds a 26% ownership share in the consortium. This investment is
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
MOTOR CARGO - The Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated October 15, 2001 (the Agreement), with Motor Cargo, a Utah corporation,
and Motor Merger Co., a Utah corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of UPC,
pursuant to which, the Corporation agreed to offer to exchange for each share of
Motor Cargo common stock, no par value (Motor Cargo Stock), at the election of
the holder, either 0.26 of a share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share,
of the Corporation or $12.10 in cash. As a result of the exchange offer, UPC
acquired 99.7% of Motor Cargo Stock as of November 30, 2001, and therefore,
Motor Cargo's results of operations were consolidated with the Corporation
subsequent to November 30, 2001. The Corporation utilized approximately 1.7
million shares of UPC common stock in the exchange. In February 2002, the
Corporation completed the acquisition of the remaining shares of Motor Cargo
Stock, and Motor Merger Co. was merged with Motor Cargo leaving Motor Cargo as
the surviving corporation. After completion of the merger, the trucking segment
of the Corporation now includes OTC and Motor Cargo operating as separate and
distinct companies under Overnite. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
purchase price was approximately $90 million, including assumed liabilities.
OPERATIONS
Union Pacific Corporation consists of two reportable segments, rail and
trucking, as well as UPC's other product lines (Other). The rail segment
includes the operations of UPRR and UPRR's subsidiaries and rail affiliates
(collectively, the Railroad). The trucking segment includes OTC and Motor Cargo,
as of November 30, 2001, both operating as separate and distinct subsidiaries of
Overnite. The Corporation's other product lines are comprised of the corporate
holding company (which largely supports the Railroad), self-insurance
activities, technology companies and all appropriate consolidating entries (see
note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8).

<PAGE>
RAIL
OPERATIONS - The Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates in the United
States. It has over 33,000 route miles linking Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast
ports to the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing several
north/south corridors to key Mexican gateways. The Railroad serves the western
two-thirds of the country and maintains coordinated schedules with other
carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific
Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada and Mexico. Export and import
traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the
Mexican and Canadian borders. Railroad freight is comprised of six commodity
lines: agricultural, automotive, chemicals, energy, industrial products and
intermodal. The Railroad continues to focus on utilization of its capital asset
base to meet current operating needs and to introduce innovative rail services
across every commodity line.
The Railroad is subject to price and service competition from other
railroads, motor carriers and barge operators. The Railroad's main competitor is
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation. Its rail subsidiary, The Burlington
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF), operates parallel routes in many
of the Railroad's main traffic corridors. In addition, the Railroad's operations
are conducted in corridors served by other competing railroads and by motor
carriers. Motor carrier competition is particularly strong for intermodal
traffic. Because of the proximity of the Railroad's routes to major inland and
Gulf Coast waterways, barge competition can be particularly pronounced,
especially for grain and bulk commodities.
EMPLOYEES - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 47,000 employees are
represented by 14 major rail unions. National negotiations under the Railway
Labor Act to revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late
1999. In May 2001, the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees (BMWE)
ratified a five-year agreement, which included provisions for an annual wage
increase (based on the consumer price index) and progressive health and welfare
cost sharing. In August 2002, the carriers reached a five year agreement with
the United Transportation Union (UTU) for annual wage increases as follows: 4.0%
July 2002, 2.5% July 2003, and 3.0% July 2004. The agreement also established a
process for resolving the health and welfare cost sharing issue through
arbitration and also provided for the operation of remote control locomotives by
trainmen. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE) challenged the remote
control feature of the UTU Agreement and a recent arbitration decision held that
operation of remote control by UTU members in terminals does not violate the BLE
agreement. In November 2002, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and
Blacksmiths (IBB) reached a five year agreement following the UTU wage pattern.
In January 2003, an arbitration award was rendered establishing wage increases
and health and welfare employee cost sharing for the Transportation
Communications International Union (TCU). Contract discussions with the
remaining unions are either in negotiation or mediation. Also during 2002, the
National Mediation Board ruled against the UTU on its petition for a single
operating craft on the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The BLE is now working on
a possible merger with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters).
TRUCKING
OPERATIONS - The trucking segment includes the operations of OTC and Motor
Cargo. OTC is a major interstate trucking company specializing in
less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. OTC serves all 50 states and portions of
Canada and Mexico through 170 service centers located throughout the United
States providing regional, inter-regional and long haul service. OTC transports
a variety of products including machinery, tobacco, textiles, plastics,
electronics and paper products. Motor Cargo is a western regional LTL carrier
that provides comprehensive service throughout 10 western states. Motor Cargo
transports general commodities including consumer goods, packaged foodstuffs,
industrial and electronic equipment and auto parts. OTC and Motor Cargo
experience intense service and price competition from regional, inter-regional
and national LTL carriers and, to a lesser extent, from truckload carriers,
railroads and overnight delivery companies. Major competitors include US
Freightways and CNF Inc. OTC and Motor Cargo believe they are able to compete
effectively in their markets by providing high quality, customized service at
competitive prices.
EMPLOYEES - During 2002, OTC continued to oppose the efforts of the Teamsters to
unionize OTC service centers. On February 11, 2002, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting as a full panel, refused to enforce four
bargaining orders issued by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that would
have required OTC to bargain with the Teamsters, even though the Teamsters lost
secret ballot elections. Subsequently, the NLRB moved for a judgment against
itself to reverse the seven other bargaining orders it had issued, and the
Fourth Circuit entered that judgment. On October 11, 2002, the NLRB's General
Counsel dismissed a charge the Teamsters had filed in August 2001 alleging that
OTC had been bargaining in bad faith. OTC has not reached any collective
bargaining agreement with the Teamsters. On October 24, 2002, the Teamsters
ended the national strike they had called against OTC three years earlier.
4
<PAGE>
The Teamsters' eight-year campaign to organize OTC's service centers has
become almost entirely dormant, and since October 2002, the Teamsters have lost
rights to represent 41% of the approximately 2,100 employees they had organized.
The Teamsters had become the bargaining representative of the employees at 26 of
OTC's 170 service centers, but the employees at 17 of these locations recently
have voted to decertify the Teamsters, and the NLRB has officially approved the
votes in 14 of those locations. Decertification petitions are pending at four
other service centers. Only a single representation petition currently is
pending, but due to strike violence charges pending against the Teamsters, the
NLRB has blocked the Teamsters' efforts to precipitate an election. In all, the
Teamsters currently represent approximately 10% of OTC's 12,534 employees.
Employees at two Motor Cargo service centers located in North Salt Lake, Utah
and Reno, Nevada, representing approximately 11% of Motor Cargo's total work
force at 33 service centers, are covered by two separate collective bargaining
agreements with unions affiliated with the Teamsters. Although the agreements
cover most of the employees at these two facilities, less than half of these
covered employees are actual members of unions.
OTHER PRODUCT LINES
OTHER - Included in the other product lines are the results of the corporate
holding company, self-insurance activities, technology companies and all
appropriate consolidating entries.
OTHER INFORMATION
Additional information regarding UPC's operations is presented within Selected
Financial Data, Item 6, and the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION - UPC's operations are currently subject to a variety of
federal, state and local regulations (see also the discussion of certain
regulatory proceedings in Legal Proceedings, Item 3).
The operations of the Railroad and trucking segment are subject to the
regulatory jurisdiction of the Surface Transportation Board (STB) of the United
States Department of Transportation (DOT) and other federal and state agencies.
The operations of the Railroad are also subject to the regulations of the
Federal Railroad Administration of the DOT. The STB has jurisdiction over rates
charged on certain regulated rail traffic; freight car compensation; transfer,
extension or abandonment of rail lines; and acquisition of control of rail
common carriers.
The DOT and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, along with
other federal agencies, have jurisdiction over certain aspects of safety,
movement of hazardous materials, movement and disposal of hazardous waste and
equipment standards. Various state and local agencies have jurisdiction over
disposal of hazardous waste and seek to regulate movement of hazardous materials
in areas not otherwise preempted by federal law.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION - UPC and its subsidiaries are subject to various
environmental statutes and regulations, including the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA).
RCRA applies to hazardous waste generators and transporters, as well as to
persons engaged in treatment and disposal of hazardous waste, and specifies
standards for storage areas, treatment units and land disposal units. All
generators of hazardous waste are required to label shipments in accordance with
detailed regulations and to prepare a detailed manifest identifying the material
and stating its destination before waste can be released for offsite transport.
The transporter must deliver the hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest
and only to a treatment, storage or disposal facility qualified for RCRA interim
status or having a final RCRA permit.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations under RCRA have
established a comprehensive system for the management of hazardous waste. These
regulations identify a wide range of industrial by-products and residues as
hazardous waste, and specify requirements for management of such waste from the
time of generation through the time of disposal and beyond. States that have
adopted hazardous waste management programs with standards at least as stringent
as those promulgated by the EPA may be authorized by the EPA to administer all
or part of RCRA on behalf of the EPA.
CERCLA was designed to establish a strategy for cleaning up facilities at
which hazardous waste or other hazardous substances have created actual or
potential environmental hazards. The EPA has designated certain facilities as
requiring
5
<PAGE>
cleanup or further assessment. Among other things, CERCLA authorizes the federal
government either to clean up such facilities itself or to order persons
responsible for the situation to do so. The act created a multi-billion dollar
fund to be used by the federal government to pay for such cleanup efforts. In
the event the federal government pays for such cleanup, it will seek
reimbursement from private parties upon which CERCLA imposes liability.
CERCLA imposes strict liability on the owners and operators of facilities in
which hazardous waste and other hazardous substances are deposited or from which
they are released or are likely to be released into the environment. It also
imposes strict liability on the generators of such waste and the transporters of
the waste who select the disposal or treatment sites. Liability may include
cleanup costs incurred by third persons and damage to publicly owned natural
resources. The Corporation is subject to potential liability under CERCLA as an
owner or operator of facilities at which hazardous substances have been disposed
of or as a generator or a transporter of hazardous substances disposed of at
other locations. Some states have enacted, and other states are considering
enacting, legislation similar to CERCLA. Certain provisions of these acts are
more stringent than CERCLA. States that have passed such legislation are
currently active in designating more facilities as requiring cleanup and further
assessment.
The operations of the Corporation are subject to the requirements of the CAA.
The 1990 amendments to the CAA include a provision under Title V requiring that
certain facilities obtain operating permits. EPA regulations require all states
to develop federally-approvable permit programs. Affected facilities must submit
air operating permit applications to the respective states within one year of
the EPA's approval of the state programs. Certain of the Corporation's
facilities may be required to obtain such permits. In addition, in December
1997, the EPA issued final regulations which require that certain purchased and
remanufactured locomotives meet stringent emissions criteria. While the cost of
meeting these requirements may be significant, expenditures are not expected to
materially affect the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations.
The operations of the Corporation are also subject to other laws protecting
the environment, including permit requirements for wastewater discharges
pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and storm-water
runoff regulations under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated
remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental
Costs, Item 7, and in note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8.
RISK FACTORS
Competition - The Corporation is subject to price and service competition from
other railroads, which operate parallel routes in many of UPRR's traffic
corridors, in addition to operations providing other modes of transportation,
including motor carriers, ships, barges and pipelines. Competition is based
primarily upon the rate charged and the transit time required, as well as the
quality and reliability of the service provided. While the Railroad must build
or acquire and maintain its rail system, trucks and barges are able to use
public rights-of-way maintained by public entities. Any future improvements or
expenditures materially increasing the quality of these alternative modes of
transportation in the locations in which the Railroad operates, or legislation
granting materially greater latitude for motor carriers with respect to size or
weight limitations, could have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Governmental Regulation - The Corporation is subject to governmental regulation
by a significant number of federal, state and local regulatory authorities with
respect to both the railroad and trucking operations and a variety of health,
safety, labor, environmental and other matters. Failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the
financial statements. Regulatory authorities may change the legislative
framework within which the Corporation operates without providing the
Corporation any recourse for any adverse effects that the change may have on the
business. Also, some of the regulations require the Corporation to obtain and
maintain various licenses, permits and other authorizations, and the Corporation
cannot assure that it will continue to be able to do so.
Environmental Laws and Regulations - The Corporation's operations are subject to
extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations
concerning, among other things, emissions to the air, discharges to water and
the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and other materials
and cleanup of hazardous material or petroleum releases. Environmental liability
can extend to previously owned or operated properties, leased properties and
properties owned by third parties, as well as to properties currently owned and
used. Environmental liabilities may also arise from claims asserted by adjacent
landowners or other third parties in toxic tort litigation. The Corporation may
be subject to
6
<PAGE>
allegations or findings to the effect that it has violated, or is strictly
liable under, these laws or regulations. The Corporation could incur significant
costs as a result of any of the foregoing and may be required to incur
significant expenses to investigate and remediate environmental contamination.
Fuel Costs - Fuel costs constitute a significant portion of transportation
expenses. Diesel fuel prices are subject to dramatic fluctuations. Significant
price increases may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's
operating results. Additionally, fuel prices and supplies are influenced
significantly by international political and economic circumstances. If a fuel
supply shortage were to arise from OPEC production curtailments, a disruption of
oil imports or otherwise, higher fuel prices and any subsequent price increases
would materially affect the Corporation's results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity.
Labor Unions - The Corporation is a party to collective bargaining agreements
and ongoing negotiations with various labor unions in the United States.
Disputes with regard to the terms of these agreements or the Corporation's
potential inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions could
result in, among other things, strikes, work stoppages or other slowdowns by the
affected workers. If the unionized workers were to engage in a strike, work
stoppage or other slowdown, or other employees were to become unionized or the
terms and conditions in future labor agreements were renegotiated, the
Corporation could experience a significant disruption of its operations and
higher ongoing labor costs.
General Economic Conditions - Several of the commodities transported by both the
Railroad and trucking segments come from industries with cyclical business
operations. As a result, prolonged negative changes in domestic and global
economic conditions affecting the producers and consumers of the commodities
carried by the Corporation may have an adverse effect on the results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Weather - Severe weather conditions and other natural phenomena, including
earthquakes and floods, may cause significant business interruptions and result
in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues, which could have an
adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Supplier Risk - The Corporation is dependent on two key suppliers of
locomotives. Due to the capital intensive nature and sophistication of this
equipment, there are strong barriers of entry to new suppliers. Therefore, if
one of these suppliers would no longer produce locomotives, the Corporation
could realize a significant increase in the cost and the potential for reduced
availability of the locomotives that are necessary to its operations.
Claims and Lawsuits - The nature of the Corporation's business exposes it to the
potential for various claims and litigation related to labor and employment,
personal injury and occupational illness, property damage, environmental and
other matters. Therefore, the Corporation may be subject to claims or litigation
that could involve significant expenditures.
Future Acts of Terrorism or War or Risk of War - Terrorist attacks, such as
those that occurred on September 11, 2001, any government response thereto and
war or risk of war may adversely affect the Corporation's results of operations,
financial condition, the ability to raise capital or the Corporation's future
growth. The Corporation's rail lines and facilities could be direct targets or
indirect casualties of an act or acts of terror, which could cause significant
business interruption and result in increased costs and liabilities and
decreased revenues, which could have an adverse effect on the operating results
and financial condition. Any act of terror, retaliatory strike, sustained
military campaign or war or risk of war may have an adverse impact on the
operating results and financial condition by causing or resulting in
unpredictable operating or financial conditions, including disruptions of rail
lines, volatility or sustained increase of fuel prices, fuel shortages, general
economic decline and instability or weakness of financial markets which could
restrict the Corporation's ability to raise capital. In addition, insurance
premiums charged for some or all of the coverages currently maintained by the
Corporation could increase dramatically or certain coverages may not be
available in the future.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Corporation's primary real estate, equipment and other property (properties)
are owned or leased to support its rail and trucking operations. The Corporation
believes that its properties are in good condition and adequate for current
operations. The rail and trucking segments operate facilities and equipment
designated for both the maintenance and repair of their respective property,
including locomotives, rail cars, tractors and trailers and other equipment, and
for monitoring such maintenance and repair work. The facilities include rail
yards, intermodal ramps and maintenance shops throughout the rail system and
service centers operated by the trucking segment. Additionally, the Corporation
had approximately $1.9
7
<PAGE>
billion in capital expenditures during 2002 for, among other things, building
and maintaining track, structures and infrastructure, upgrading and augmenting
equipment and implementing new technologies. See the capital expenditures table
in Item 7.
Certain of the Corporation's properties are subject to federal, state and
local provisions involving the protection of the environment. See discussion of
environmental issues in Other Information, Item 1, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters -
Environmental Costs, Item 7, and in note 10 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Item 8. See also notes 1, 3, 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Item 8, for additional information regarding the Corporation's
properties.
RAIL OPERATIONS
TRACK - The Corporation's rail operations utilize over 33,000 main line and
branch line route miles in 23 states in the western two-thirds of the United
States. The Corporation owns 27,400 route miles with the remainder of route
miles operated under trackage rights or leases. As of and for the years ending
December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, route miles operated and track miles
installed and replaced are as follows:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION
As previously reported, a purported derivative action was filed by nine
individuals, seven of whom are members of the Teamsters, on behalf of the
Corporation on June 21, 2001, in the Chancery Court of Shelby County, Tennessee,
naming as defendants current and certain former directors of the Corporation and
various present and former officers and employees of OTC, as well as OTC, and,
as a nominal defendant, the Corporation. The derivative action alleged, among
other things, that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the
Corporation, wasted its assets and mismanaged OTC by opposing the efforts of the
Teamsters to organize the employees of OTC. Plaintiffs claimed that the
"anti-union" campaign allegedly waged by the defendants cost millions of dollars
and caused a substantial decline in the value of OTC. On July 31, 2001, the
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action on various grounds, and on July
1, 2002, the court granted the defendants' motion and dismissed the derivative
action on procedural grounds. The plaintiffs have filed an appeal with the
Tennessee Court of Appeals. The Corporation and the defendants will vigorously
defend this appeal and any other efforts by the plaintiffs.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
As previously reported in the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000, a UPRR train carrying hazardous materials
derailed on May 27, 2000 near Eunice, Louisiana, resulting in the evacuation of
approximately 3,500 residents of the surrounding area and numerous claims for
personal injury, property damage and business interruption. Following the
incident, forty lawsuits were filed in various courts, and thirty-eight of those
cases were consolidated in the United States District Court for the District of
Western Louisiana. The remaining two cases were filed in the State District
Court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and are being coordinated with the federal
cases. After the federal District Court certified a class of over 20,000
potential claimants, the Railroad appealed to the Unites States Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit. The plaintiffs agreed to stay the appeal to facilitate
settlement negotiations, which are ongoing. While it is not possible to predict
the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, the Railroad believes it has
substantial defenses. Although losses exceed the self-insured retention amounts,
the Railroad believes its insurance coverage is adequate to cover material
damage claims or settlement amounts.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
2001, on January 30, 2002, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
(LDEQ) issued to the Railroad a notice of a proposed penalty assessment in the
amount of $195,700 in connection with the release of water potentially impacted
by the derailment of a train near Eunice, Louisiana, as discussed above. The
Railroad previously met with the LDEQ regarding this matter to present
documentation indicating that no penalty should be assessed. The Railroad has
filed suit against the LDEQ in Louisiana State District Court challenging the
penalty.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the District Attorneys of Merced, Madera and
Stanislaus counties in the State of California threatened to file criminal
charges against the Railroad in connection with the release of calcium oxide
(lime), which leaked from an unidentified railcar between
9
<PAGE>
Chowchilla and Sacramento, California, on December 27, 2001, and another
incident in which lime leaked from a railcar between Chowchilla and Stockton,
California, on February 21, 2002. On December 20, 2002, the District Attorney of
Stanislaus county filed criminal charges against the Railroad, and on December
23, 2002, the District Attorneys of Merced and Madera counties filed criminal
charges against the Railroad relating to these incidents. They contend that
criminal violations occurred by virtue of the alleged failure by the Railroad to
timely report the release of a hazardous material, its alleged disposal of
hazardous waste and the alleged release of material into the waters of the State
of California. The District Attorneys of San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties are
still evaluating these incidents, as well as other alleged releases. The
Railroad disputes both the factual and legal bases for these claims and intends
to vigorously defend any action that might be filed.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 9, has filed two administrative complaints against UPRR, the
first of which alleges that the Railroad violated the Clean Water Act in 1997 by
discharging dredged or fill materials into the Carpenteria Salt Marsh in Santa
Barbara County, California, and seeks civil penalties from the Railroad in an
amount up to $137,500. The second complaint alleges that the Railroad violated
the Clean Water Act in 1999 by discharging dredged or fill materials into Laguna
Creek, in Santa Barbara County, California, without a Section 404 permit and
likewise seeks civil penalties up to $137,500. UPRR disputes the allegations set
forth in these complaints and intends to defend the matters in any subsequent
administrative proceedings.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District has filed an action against the Railroad in the Los Angeles County
Superior Court, in which it seeks civil penalties in an amount up to $225,000
from the Railroad. The complaint alleges that the Railroad has violated certain
provisions of the California Health and Safety Code and District rules, as a
result of air emissions from idling diesel locomotives in Los Angeles,
California. The complaint further alleges that the Railroad has violated the
California Health and Safety Code and District rules as a result of fugitive
dust emissions from railroad property located in Colton, California. The
Railroad disputes the allegations of the complaint and maintains that the claims
relating to idling locomotives are preempted by federal law. The Railroad has
reached an agreement to settle these claims for a payment of $25,500 in
penalties.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended March 31, 2002, on April 26, 2002, UPRR received written
notice of a proposed $250,000 penalty from the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency relating to a collision between trains from Conrail and the Railroad. The
collision occurred near Momence, Illinois, on March 23, 1999 when an eastbound
Conrail train failed to stop at a signal and struck a UPRR train that was
properly occupying a crossing. The collision resulted in a release of diesel
fuel from the fuel tanks of a Union Pacific locomotive, which was promptly
reported and remediated. The Railroad received notice in January 2003 that the
amount of the proposed penalty, including oversight costs has been reduced to
$127,000. The Railroad will vigorously oppose this proposed penalty.
The Corporation and its affiliates have received notices from the EPA and
state environmental agencies alleging that they are or may be liable under
certain federal or state environmental laws for remediation costs at various
sites throughout the United States, including sites which are on the Superfund
National Priorities List or state superfund lists. Although specific claims have
been made by the EPA and state regulators with respect to some of these sites,
the ultimate impact of these proceedings and suits by third parties cannot be
predicted at this time because of the number of potentially responsible parties
involved, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and
quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative
nature of remediation costs. Nevertheless, at many of the superfund sites, the
Corporation believes it will have little or no exposure because no liability
should be imposed under applicable law, one or more other financially able
parties generated all or most of the contamination, or a settlement of the
Corporation's exposure has been reached although regulatory proceedings at the
sites involved have not been formally terminated.
Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated
remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental
Costs, Item 7, and in note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8.
OTHER MATTERS
As previously reported, Western Resources, Inc. (Western) filed a complaint on
January 24, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas alleging
that UPRR and The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF)
10
<PAGE>
materially breached their service obligations under the transportation contract
to deliver coal in a timely manner to Western's Jeffrey Energy Center. The
original complaint sought recovery of consequential damages and termination of
the contract, excusing Western from further performance. In an amended complaint
filed September 1, 2000, Western claimed the right to retroactive termination
and added a claim for restitution. The matter went to trial before a jury on
August 20, 2002. On September 12, 2002, the jury returned a verdict finding that
the contract had not been breached by the railroads, and the judgment dismissing
the case was entered by the court on September 16, 2002. Western filed a motion
for new trial on September 30, 2002, which the railroads believe will be
unsuccessful. UPRR and BNSF filed a response opposing the motion for a new trial
on October 15, 2002, and Western filed its reply on October 28, 2002. UPRR and
BNSF will vigorously defend this and all other post-trial efforts by Western to
overturn the jury verdict.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and applicable notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Item 8, and other information included in this Form 10-K.
As stated in Item 1, Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation)
consists of two reportable segments, rail and trucking, as well as UPC's other
product lines (Other). The rail segment includes the operations of Union Pacific
Railroad and its subsidiaries and rail affiliates (UPRR or the Railroad). The
trucking segment includes Overnite Transportation Company (OTC) and Motor Cargo
Industries, Inc. (Motor Cargo) as of November 30, 2001, both operating as
separate and distinct subsidiaries of Overnite Corporation (Overnite), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UPC. The Corporation's other product lines
are comprised of the corporate holding company (which largely supports the
Railroad), self-insurance activities, technology companies and all appropriate
consolidating entries (see note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item
8).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Corporation's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results
of operations are based upon its Consolidated Financial Statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
estimation and judgment that affect
15
<PAGE>
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. The
Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
following are the Corporation's critical accounting policies that affect
significant areas of the Corporation's operations and involve judgment and
estimates. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact
on the Consolidated Financial Statements may be material.
DEPRECIATION - Provisions for depreciation are computed principally on the
straight-line method based on estimated service lives of depreciable property.
The cost (net of salvage) of depreciable rail property retired or replaced in
the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation. Various
methods are used to estimate useful lives for each group of depreciable
property. Due to the capital intensive nature of the business and the large base
of depreciable assets, variances to those estimates could have a material effect
on the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.
ENVIRONMENTAL - The Corporation generates and transports hazardous and
non-hazardous waste in its current and former operations, and is subject to
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Corporation has
identified approximately 433 sites at which it is or may be liable for
remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of
environmental requirements. This includes 52 sites that are the subject of
actions taken by the U.S. government, 27 of which are currently on the Superfund
National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several
liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, the
Corporation's ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to
activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to its own activities
at each site.
When an environmental issue has been identified with respect to the property
owned, leased or otherwise used in the conduct of the Corporation's business,
the Corporation and its consultants perform environmental assessments on such
property. The Corporation expenses the cost of the assessments as incurred. The
Corporation accrues the cost of remediation where its obligation is probable and
such costs can be reasonably estimated.
The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites,
as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated recoveries
from third parties. Cost estimates are based on information available for each
site, financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and existing
technology, laws and regulations. The Corporation believes that it has
adequately accrued for its ultimate share of costs at sites subject to joint and
several liability. However, the ultimate liability for remediation is difficult
to determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved,
site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible
parties, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality
of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative nature
of remediation costs.
INCOME TAXES - The Corporation accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (FAS 109). The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize
the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. These expected
future tax consequences are measured based on provisions of tax law as currently
enacted; the effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Future
tax law changes, such as a change in the corporate tax rate, could have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial position or its results of
operations.
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - The Corporation incurs certain
employment-related expenses associated with pensions and postretirement health
benefits. In order to measure the expense associated with these benefits,
management must make various estimates and assumptions, including discount rates
used to value liabilities, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation
increases, employee turnover rates, anticipated mortality rates and expected
future healthcare costs. The estimates used by management are based on the
Corporation's historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances.
The Corporation uses third-party actuaries to assist management in properly
measuring the expense and liability associated with these benefits. Actual
future results that vary from the previously mentioned assumptions could have a
material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent declines in the equity markets have caused the market value of the
plan assets to decrease. As a result, a minimum pension liability adjustment of
$225 million, net of tax, was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 as a
reduction to shareholders' equity (see note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Item 8). Also, during 2002, the Corporation decreased its assumed
long-term rate of return on pension plan assets from 10% to 9%. This assumption
change resulted
16
<PAGE>
in a $22 million increase to 2002 pension expense. While the interest rate and
asset return environment have significantly impacted the funded status of the
Corporation's plans, the Corporation does not have any minimum pension funding
requirements, as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws.
PERSONAL INJURY AND OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS - The cost of injuries to employees and
others related to Railroad activities or in accidents involving the trucking
segment is charged to expense based on actuarial estimates of the ultimate cost
and number of incidents each year. Compensation for Railroad work-related
accidents is governed by the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). Under
FELA, damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through litigation or
out-of-court settlements. The Railroad offers a comprehensive variety of
services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at work.
Changes in estimates can vary due to evolving trends in litigation related to
personal injury and occupational illness cases based on large jury awards and
public pressures associated with certain occupational related injuries.
2002 COMPARED TO 2001 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED
NET INCOME - The Corporation reported net income of $1.34 billion ($5.32 per
basic share and $5.05 per diluted share) in 2002 compared to $966 million ($3.90
per basic share and $3.77 per diluted share) in 2001. The increase in net income
resulted from double digit operating income growth, lower interest costs, two
large asset sale transactions (one with the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) for
$141 million pre-tax and one with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation
Authority (VTA) for $73 million pre-tax) and tax adjustments of $67 million for
prior years' income tax examinations. Operating income improved as revenue
growth, lower fuel prices and productivity gains offset the effects of wage and
benefit inflation and higher volume-related costs. Productivity is measured by
both gross ton miles per inflation-adjusted expense dollar and gross ton miles
per employee.
OPERATING REVENUES - Operating revenues increased $518 million (4%) to a record
$12.5 billion in 2002, reflecting 3% growth at the Railroad and 17% growth in
the trucking segment including the impact of the Motor Cargo acquisition.
Excluding Motor Cargo, revenue growth was 5% in the trucking segment. The
Corporation recognizes transportation revenues on a percentage-of-completion
basis as freight moves from origin to destination. Other revenue is recognized
as service is performed or contractual obligations are met.
OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased $266 million (3%) to $10.2
billion in 2002 from $9.9 billion in 2001. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and
2001, operating expenses increased $144 million (1%). The increase in expenses
reflects wage and benefit inflation, higher equipment rents and depreciation
expenses and increased purchased services and other costs. These increases were
partially offset by a 3% reduction in employment levels at the Railroad, lower
fuel prices and cost control efforts. Lower fuel prices for the Railroad of 73
cents per gallon in 2002 versus 88 cents per gallon in 2001, reduced fuel
expense by $198 million in 2002.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $225 million (5%) compared to
2001. Excluding Motor Cargo, expenses increased $156 million (4%) compared to
2001 as wage and benefit inflation and volume costs exceeded savings from lower
employment levels and improved productivity. Equipment and other rents expense
increased $59 million (5%) as a result of a 2% increase in carloads, additional
locomotive lease expense and higher contract maintenance costs recognized at
Overnite. Depreciation expense increased $32 million (3%) as a result of the
Railroad's capital spending in recent years which has increased the total value
of the Corporation's assets subject to depreciation. Fuel and utilities costs
were down $183 million (14%) compared to 2001 due to lower fuel prices and a
lower fuel consumption rate, partially offset by higher gross ton miles at the
Railroad. Materials and supplies expense decreased $7 million (1%) primarily due
to reduced locomotive repairs partly offset by increased freight car repairs.
Casualty costs increased $38 million (10%) over 2001 due to higher personal
injury and increased insurance costs. Purchased services and other costs
increased $102 million (11%) primarily due to an increase in outsourcing of
locomotive contract maintenance services, as well as an increase in jointly
owned facility expenses and state and local taxes.
OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $252 million (12%) to a record
$2.3 billion in 2002, as revenue growth, productivity gains and lower fuel
prices more than offset inflation, increased depreciation expense and higher
rail costs due to increased rail volume.
17
<PAGE>
NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Interest expense decreased $68 million (10%) compared to
2001 due to lower weighted-average debt levels and weighted-average interest
rates in 2002. In 2002, the Corporation's weighted-average debt level (including
the Convertible Preferred Securities) decreased from $9,980 million in 2001 to
$9,525 million in 2002. The Corporation's weighted-average interest rate was
6.7% in 2002 as compared to 7.0% in 2001. Other income increased $163 million in
2002 compared to 2001 due primarily to the asset sale transactions with the UTA
and VTA. Income tax expense increased $108 million (19%) in 2002 over 2001 as a
result of higher pre-tax income levels in 2002 which was partially offset by tax
adjustments for prior years.
KEY MEASURES - Net income as a percentage of operating revenues increased to
10.7% in 2002 from 8.1% in 2001. Return on average common shareholders' equity
was 13.3% in 2002, up from 10.6% in 2001. The Corporation's operating margin was
18.6% in 2002 compared to 17.3% in 2001. The Corporation's operating margin,
excluding Overnite for 2002 was 20.2% compared to 18.6% in 2001.
RAIL SEGMENT
NET INCOME - Rail operations reported net income of $1.37 billion in 2002
compared to $1.06 billion in 2001, up 30%. The increase in earnings resulted
from stronger operating results, the asset sale transactions with the UTA and
VTA, lower interest costs, and a tax adjustment for prior years' income tax
examinations. Higher operating revenue and lower fuel expense combined with
productivity gains and cost control efforts offset inflation and higher
volume-related costs.
OPERATING REVENUES - Operating revenue is comprised of commodity revenue and
other revenues. Other revenues primarily include subsidiary revenue from various
non-railroad companies that are wholly owned or majority owned by the Railroad,
revenue from the Chicago commuter rail operations and accessorial revenue earned
due to customer detainment of railroad owned or controlled equipment. Rail
operating revenues increased $303 million (3%) over 2001 to a record $11.1
billion. Revenue carloads increased 2% primarily driven by growth in the
automotive, intermodal and chemicals commodity groups. Other revenue increased
$31 million (8%) due to increased passenger, subsidiary, and accessorial
revenues.
The following tables summarize the year-over-year changes in rail commodity
revenue, revenue carloads and average revenue per car by commodity type:

<PAGE>
Agricultural - Revenue increased 4%, due to a 1% increase in carloads coupled
with a 3% increase in average revenue per car. Meals and oils carloads increased
due to strong export demand and more shipments to Mexico. Corn shipments to
Mexico also increased. Revenue gains were also achieved through increased
shipments of cottonseed, ethanol used as a fuel additive and frozen french
fries. Average revenue per car increased due to a higher average length of haul,
resulting from fewer short-haul empty storage moves and corn processor shipments
combined with increased long-haul meals and oils and animal feed shipments.
Automotive - Revenue increased 8%, as a result of a 7% increase in carloads and
a 1% increase in average revenue per car. Volume growth resulted from market
share gains for finished vehicles, where carloads were up 11% despite a decline
in U.S. light vehicle sales. Materials shipments declined 1%, due primarily to
reduced production in Mexico. Market share gains partially offset the decline.
Average revenue per car increased due to a shift in mix of carloads shipped,
resulting from increased higher average revenue per car vehicles shipments and a
decline in lower average revenue per car materials shipments. In addition,
average length of haul for vehicle shipments increased.
Chemicals - Revenue increased 2%, as a result of a 3% increase in carloads and a
1% decrease in average revenue per car. Volume increased for liquid and dry
chemicals due to relatively higher economic demand from industrial
manufacturers. Plastics shipments rose as a result of increased demand for
consumer durables. Revenue also increased due to higher domestic demand for
fertilizer and demand for domestic and export soda ash shipments. Average
revenue per car declined due to changes in customer contract terms.
Energy - Energy commodity revenue decreased 2% as average revenue per car
declined 3%. Records were set for total carloads and coal trains loaded per day
in the Southern Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Results were achieved through
favorable weather conditions and improved cycle times. Offsetting the volume
increase were reduced West Coast export shipments originating from the Colorado
and Utah mining regions. Average revenue per car declined due to the impact of
contract price negotiations on expiring long-term contracts with certain major
customers.
Industrial Products - Revenue increased 3%, due to a slight increase in carloads
coupled with a 3% increase in average revenue per car. Increased lumber
shipments were the primary growth driver, due to strong housing construction and
greater production in the Pacific Northwest region. Stone shipments increased
due to strong building and road construction activity in the South. Revenue also
increased for paper and newsprint commodities due to higher general demand.
Reduced shipments of steel and metallic shipments in the first three quarters
partially offset these increases. However, steel shipments rebounded in the
fourth quarter as new U.S. tariffs made domestic producers more
price-competitive with foreign producers. Average revenue per car increased due
to price increases and a greater mix of longer average length of haul.
Intermodal - Revenue increased 5%, primarily due to a 4% increase in carloads.
Volumes increased due to higher international shipments, resulting from strong
import demand and market share gains in some segments. These gains were
partially offset by the labor dispute between the International Longshoreman and
Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association, which had a
significant impact on intermodal volumes during the fourth quarter, primarily in
October. Revenue declined for domestic shipments, due to soft market demand and
the voluntary action of shedding low-margin trailer business in favor of
higher-margin containers. The slight increase in average revenue per car was the
result of price increases, offset by the mix impact of more lower revenue per
car international shipments.
Mexico Business - In 2002 and 2001, respectively, UPRR generated $873 million
and $860 million of revenues from rail traffic with businesses located in
Mexico, which is included in the rail commodity revenue reported above.
Shipments increased for agricultural products, chemicals, and industrial
products commodity groups. Increased revenue for agricultural products resulted
from higher corn and meal exports as well as increased beer imports. Increased
chemicals business consisted of plastics exports, in addition to higher imports
and exports of liquid and dry chemicals. The increase in industrial products
resulted from higher imports and exports of steel and scrap and exports of pulp
and paper products. Reduced automobile production partially offset these gains
resulting in fewer shipments of parts and finished vehicles.
OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased $51 million (1%) to $8.8
billion in 2002. The increase in expense is primarily due to inflation,
increased volume-related costs, contract services, casualty and depreciation
expense, partially offset by savings from lower employee force levels, cost
control efforts and significantly lower fuel prices.
19
<PAGE>
Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits - Salaries, wages and employee benefits
increased $76 million (2%) in 2002 to $3.6 billion. Increases were driven by
inflation and volume-related costs related to a 4% increase in gross ton miles.
A 3% reduction in employee force levels in conjunction with worker productivity
improvements partially offset the inflation and higher volume-related costs.
Equipment and Other Rents - Equipment and other rents primarily includes rental
expense the Railroad pays for freight cars owned by other railroads or private
companies; freight car, intermodal and locomotive leases; other specialty
equipped vehicle leases; and office and other rentals. Expenses increased $24
million (2%) compared to 2001 due primarily to higher locomotive leases and
volume-related costs, partially offset by savings from lower car cycle times
(the average number of accumulated days per load or cycle that loaded and empty
cars from other railroads spend on UPRR's system) and rental prices for private
cars. The higher locomotive lease expense is due to the Railroad's increased
leasing of new, more reliable and fuel efficient locomotives. These new
locomotives replaced older, non-leased models in the fleet, which helped reduce
expenses for depreciation, labor, materials and fuel during the year. The
increase in volume costs is primarily due to increased shipments of finished
autos that almost exclusively utilize rented freight cars. The reduction in car
cycle times is attributable to increased volume demand and better car
utilization.
Depreciation - The majority of depreciation relates to track structure,
including rail, ties and other track material. Depreciation expense increased
$19 million (2%) over 2001 as a result of higher capital spending in recent
years. Capital spending totaled $1.8 billion in 2002 and $1.7 billion in 2001.
Fuel and Utilities - Fuel and utilities is comprised of locomotive fuel,
utilities other than telephone, and gasoline and other fuels. Expenses declined
$184 million (15%) in 2002. The decrease was driven by lower fuel prices and a
record low fuel consumption rate, as measured by gallons consumed per thousand
gross ton miles. Fuel prices averaged 73 cents per gallon in 2002 compared to 88
cents per gallon in 2001 (including taxes, transportation costs and regional
pricing spreads). The Railroad hedged approximately 42% of its fuel consumption
for the year, which decreased fuel costs by $55 million. As of December 31,
2002, expected fuel consumption for 2003 is 7% hedged at 58 cents per gallon
excluding taxes, transportation costs and regional pricing spreads (see note 2
to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8).
Materials and Supplies - Materials used for the maintenance of the Railroad's
track, facilities and equipment is the principal component of materials and
supplies expense. Office, small tools and other supplies and the costs of
freight services purchased to ship company materials are also included. Expenses
decreased $9 million (2%), primarily reflecting a reduction in the number of
locomotives overhauled. Materials expense for locomotive overhauls decreased due
to the use of new, more-reliable locomotives during the past several years, the
sale of older units, which required higher maintenance, and increased
outsourcing of locomotive maintenance. Partially offsetting the reductions in
locomotive overhauls was an increase in cost for freight car repairs.
Casualty Costs - The largest component of casualty costs is personal injury
expense. Freight and property damage, insurance, environmental matters and
occupational illness expense are also included in casualty costs. Costs
increased $32 million (10%) compared to 2001, as higher personal injury and
insurance costs were partially offset by lower costs for freight damage.
Purchased Services and Other Costs - Purchased services and other costs include
the costs of services purchased from outside contractors, state and local taxes,
net costs of operating facilities jointly used by UPRR and other railroads,
transportation and lodging for train crew employees, trucking and contracting
costs for intermodal containers, leased automobile maintenance expenses,
telephone and cellular expense, employee travel expense and computer and other
general expenses. Expenses increased $93 million (11%) compared to 2001
primarily due to increased spending for contract services, jointly operated
facilities and state and local taxes.
OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $252 million (12%) to a record
$2.3 billion in 2002. The operating margin for 2002 was 21.0%, compared to 19.3%
in 2001.
NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Interest expense decreased $43 million (7%) as a result of
lower average debt levels and lower weighted-average interest rates in 2002.
Other income increased $147 million (84%) due to the sale transactions with the
UTA and VTA. Income taxes increased $126 million (21%) in 2002 compared to 2001
resulting from higher pre-tax income levels in 2002 partially offset by a tax
adjustment for prior years' income tax examinations.

<PAGE>
TRUCKING SEGMENT
OPERATING REVENUES - In 2002, trucking revenues rose $189 million (17%) to $1.33
billion. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, revenue increased $57 million
(5%) due to an increase in volume of 5%, yield improvements, and higher revenue
for special services, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue as a
result of lower fuel prices in 2002. Included in the volume improvement was
additional business realized as a result of the forced closure of Consolidated
Freightways in September 2002.
OPERATING EXPENSES - Trucking operating expenses rose $172 million (16%) to
$1.26 billion in 2002. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, expenses
increased $50 million (5%). Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $117
million (17%). Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, expenses increased $48
million (7%) due to wage and benefit inflation and increased volume costs
partially offset by productivity improvements and a 2% reduction in the number
of employees. Productivity is measured as total costs related to local, dock,
and linehaul operations relative to the total volume shipped. Equipment and
other rents increased $33 million (35%). Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001,
expenses increased $18 million (20%) due primarily to the increased use of
linehaul rail and contract transportation to handle the additional business of
the former Consolidated Freightways. Depreciation expense increased $11 million
(23%) compared to 2001. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, expense
increased $2 million (5%) due to purchases of new equipment. Fuel and utilities
costs increased $1 million (1%). Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001,
expenses decreased $7 million (11%) as a result of lower fuel prices during the
year (74 cents per gallon average in 2002 compared to 82 cents per gallon
average in 2001, including transportation costs but excluding taxes), and by a
3% decrease in gallons consumed. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Overnite
hedged approximately 14% of its fuel consumed for 2002, which decreased fuel
prices by $1.2 million. As of December 31, 2002, expected fuel consumption for
2003 is 5% hedged at 58 cents per gallon excluding taxes, transportation costs
and regional pricing spreads. Materials and supplies expense increased $4
million (8%) compared to 2001. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, expenses
decreased $2 million (4%) due to lower maintenance and operating supplies
expense as a result of cost control measures. Casualty costs increased $8
million (17%). Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and 2001, expenses increased $6
million (12%) due to higher personal injury and insurance expenses. Purchased
services and other costs decreased $2 million (2%). Excluding Motor Cargo in
2002 and 2001, expenses decreased $15 million (16%) due to lower general
supplies expense, a favorable legal settlement in the second quarter, insourcing
of contract programmers, and other cost control measures.
OPERATING INCOME - Trucking operations generated operating income of $71 million
in 2002, an increase of $17 million over 2001. Excluding Motor Cargo in 2002 and
2001, operating income increased $8 million (14%). The operating margin was 5.3%
compared to 4.7% in 2001. Motor Cargo improved the operating margin by 0.2
percentage points in 2002.
OTHER PRODUCT LINES
OTHER - Operating losses increased $17 million in 2002 compared to 2001.
Operating revenues increased $26 million year over year resulting from
operations of a new logistics subsidiary created in the latter part of 2001 and
increased external revenues from two technology subsidiaries. Operating expenses
increased $43 million primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense,
pension and retiree benefit costs in 2002, as well as asset write-offs at two
technology subsidiaries.
2001 COMPARED TO 2000 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED
NET INCOME - The Corporation reported net income of $966 million ($3.90 per
basic share and $3.77 per diluted share) in 2001 compared to $842 million ($3.42
per basic share and $3.34 per diluted share) in 2000. Excluding the effect of a
$115 million pre-tax ($72 million after-tax) charge in 2000 related to a work
force reduction plan at the Railroad, 2000 net income was $914 million ($3.71
per basic share and $3.61 per diluted share). The increase in net income
excluding the work force reduction charge in 2000 was due primarily to revenue
growth, productivity gains and cost control, lower non-operating expense and
lower fuel prices.
OPERATING REVENUES - Operating revenues increased $95 million (1%) to $12.0
billion in 2001, reflecting 1% growth at the Railroad and 3% growth in the
trucking segment. The Corporation recognizes transportation revenues on a
percentage-of-completion basis as freight moves from origin to destination.
Other revenue is recognized as service is performed or contractual obligations
are met.
21
<PAGE>
OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased $74 million (1%) to $9.9
billion in 2001 from $10.0 billion in 2000. Excluding the effect of the work
force reduction charge in 2000, operating expenses increased $41 million
compared to 2000 reflecting wage and benefit inflation and higher equipment
rents and depreciation expenses. These increases were partially offset by a 4%
reduction in employment levels at the Railroad, lower fuel prices and cost
control efforts. Lower fuel prices in 2001 versus 2000 reduced fuel expense by
$35 million in 2001.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased $35 million compared to 2000.
Excluding the work force reduction charge, salaries, wages and employee benefits
increased $80 million (2%), as wage and benefit inflation and volume costs
exceeded savings from lower employment levels and improved productivity.
Equipment and other rents expense increased $26 million (2%) as a result of
additional locomotive lease expense and longer car cycle times, which indicates
that cars spent more time on the rail system between shipments. Partially
offsetting these increases were lower costs due to declines in rail traffic
requiring rental of freight cars. In addition, the Railroad experienced lower
rental rates, and Overnite experienced lower contract transportation costs.
Depreciation expense increased $34 million (3%) as a result of the Railroad's
capital spending in recent years which increased the total value of the
Corporation's assets subject to depreciation (see note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, Item 8). Fuel and utilities costs were down $34 million
(3%) compared to 2000 due to lower fuel prices and a lower fuel consumption
rate, partially offset by higher gross ton miles at the Railroad and losses on
fuel hedging activity (see note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item
8). Materials and supplies expense decreased $56 million (9%) primarily due to
reduced locomotive repairs and cost control actions. Casualty costs increased
$16 million (4%) over 2000 due to higher insurance, bad debts and environmental
expenses. Other costs decreased $25 million (3%) as productivity and cost
control efforts more than offset higher state and local taxes.
OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $169 million (9%) to $2.1 billion
in 2001. Excluding the effect of the $115 million work force reduction charge in
2000, 2001 operating income increased $54 million (3%) as revenue growth,
productivity gains and lower fuel prices more than offset inflation, increased
depreciation expense and higher rail costs due to increased rail volume.
NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Interest expense decreased $22 million (3%) compared to
2000 due to lower weighted-average debt levels and weighted-average interest
rates in 2001. In 2001, the Corporation's weighted-average debt level decreased
from $10,044 million in 2000 to $9,980 million in 2001. The Corporation's
weighted-average interest rate was 7.0% in 2001 as compared to 7.2% in 2000.
Other income increased $32 million (25%) in 2001 compared to 2000 due primarily
to higher real estate sales. Income tax expense increased $99 million (21%) in
2001 over 2000. Excluding the effect of the $115 million work force reduction
charge on income tax expense in 2000, income taxes for 2001 increased $56
million (11%) over 2000. The increase was a result of higher pre-tax income
levels in 2001 and an increase in the effective tax rate from 35.7% in 2000 to
37.0% in 2001.
KEY MEASURES - Net income as a percentage of operating revenues increased to
8.1% in 2001 from 7.1% in 2000. Net income as a percentage of operating revenues
in 2000, excluding the work force reduction charge, was 7.7%. Return on average
common shareholders' equity was 10.6% in 2001, up from 10.1% in 2000. Excluding
the charge in 2000, return on average common shareholders' equity was 10.9% in
2000. The Corporation's operating margin was 17.3% in 2001 compared to 16.0% in
2000 and, excluding the work force reduction charge in 2000, 17.0%. Excluding
Overnite, the Corporation's operating margin was 18.6% in 2001 compared to 17.2%
in 2000 and, excluding the work force reduction charge in 2000, 18.3%.
RAIL SEGMENT
NET INCOME - Rail operations reported net income of $1.1 billion in 2001
compared to net income of $926 million in 2000, up 14%. Excluding the work force
reduction charge in 2000, net income was $998 million. The increase in earnings
resulted from higher commodity revenue and real estate sales combined with lower
fuel expense, interest expense and materials and supplies expense. These
improvements were partially offset by inflation, lower other revenue and higher
equipment rent and depreciation expenses.

<PAGE>
OPERATING REVENUES - Rail operating revenues increased $69 million (1%) over
2000 to $10.8 billion. Revenue carloads were flat with an increase in the energy
and agricultural commodity groups offset by decreases in the other four
commodity groups. The decrease in other revenue was the result of lower
switching, subsidiary and accessorial revenues.
The following tables summarize the year-over-year changes in rail commodity
revenue, revenue carloads and average revenue per car by commodity type:

</Table>
Agricultural - Revenue increased 4%, due primarily to a 3% increase in average
revenue per car. Carloads were flat, as higher corn shipments and meals and oils
exports were offset by a decrease in demand for domestic and export wheat
shipments and a poor sugar-beet harvest. Revenue gains were also achieved
through increased beer imports from Mexico, wine shipments from California to
eastern markets, express service of fresh and frozen products and increased
demand for cottonseed. Average revenue per car increased due to a longer average
length of haul, resulting from fewer short-haul wheat and sweetener shipments
combined with increased long-haul domestic and Mexico corn shipments.
Automotive - Revenue declined 5% as a result of a 6% decrease in carloads and a
1% increase in average revenue per car. Materials volumes declined 16%, as the
soft economy and a decline in vehicle sales led to high inventories, low
industry production and auto plant shutdowns. Total finished vehicle shipments
declined only 1%, as industry weakness was mitigated by market share gains.
Consumer incentives in the fourth quarter stimulated vehicle sales and helped
offset weakness early in the year. Average revenue per car increased due to a
shift in mix of materials shipped, resulting from fewer shipments of materials
with lower average revenue per car. Additionally, more materials were shipped in
boxcars rather than containers, which yield higher average revenue per car than
containers.
Chemicals - Revenue declined 6%, due to a 6% decrease in carloads. Volume
declines were the result of the soft economy, as reduced demand for consumer
durables led to high manufacturer inventories and weak demand for plastics.
Reduced industrial manufacturing also depressed demand for liquid and dry
chemicals. Fertilizer and phosphate rock revenues decreased as high energy costs
early in the year reduced the market for these commodities. Average revenue per
car was flat, as the positive impact of fewer low average revenue per car
phosphate rock shipments was offset by a decrease in average revenue per car for
soda ash shipments.
23
<PAGE>
Energy - Energy commodity revenue increased 11% compared to 2000, due to a 12%
increase in carloads. Records were set in 2001 for total carloads, revenue and
coal trains loaded per day in the Southern Powder River Basin in Wyoming and in
the coal mining regions of Colorado and Utah. These increases were driven by
strong utility demand caused by severe winter weather in late 2000 and the first
quarter of 2001. In the first half of the year, demand for coal also increased
due to the high cost of alternative fuels, such as natural gas, fuel oil and
higher-priced eastern-sourced coal. Carloads also increased due to gains in
market share.
Industrial Products - Revenue decreased 1%, as a 2% decline in carloads was
partially offset by a 1% increase in average revenue per car. The decline was
mainly the result of the economic slowdown, which had a negative effect on many
economically sensitive commodities including steel and paper markets. Steel
producers were additionally impacted by high levels of low-cost imported steel,
which forced plant shutdowns and bankruptcies. Newsprint and fiber revenue
declined due to lack of demand for printed advertising. Partially offsetting
these declines were increases in construction-related commodities, led by stone
and cement, as strong building and road construction activity continued in the
South and Southwestern regions of the country. Lumber volumes increased due to
strong housing construction and uncertainty surrounding restrictions on Canadian
lumber imports. Average revenue per car increased due to price increases and a
greater mix of longer average length of haul business. These gains were
partially offset by the impact of increased shipments of stone, which generates
lower average revenue per car.
Intermodal - Revenue was flat, as a 3% decline in carloads was offset by a 3%
increase in average revenue per car. The volume decrease was primarily the
result of soft economic demand for domestic shipments. In addition, the
voluntary action of shedding low-margin trailer business in favor of
higher-margin containers contributed to the decline. Partially offsetting the
domestic declines were increases in international shipments, the result of
higher import demand. The increase in average revenue per car was primarily the
result of price increases.
OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased $109 million (1%) to $8.7
billion in 2001. Excluding the $115 million work force reduction charge in 2000,
operating expenses were essentially flat. Higher expenses as a result of
inflation, higher equipment rents expense and depreciation were offset by
savings from lower force levels, productivity gains and cost control efforts and
lower fuel prices.
Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits - Salaries, wages and employee benefits
decreased $83 million (2%) in 2001 to $3.5 billion. Excluding the $115 million
work force reduction charge in 2000, salaries, wages and employee benefits
expense increased $32 million (1%). The primary driver of the increase was wage
and employee benefits inflation. A 3% gross ton mile increase also added volume
costs. A 4% reduction in employee force levels as a result of the work force
reduction plan offset a significant portion of these higher costs.
Equipment and Other Rents - Expenses increased $32 million (3%) compared to 2000
due primarily to higher locomotive lease expense and longer car cycle times. The
higher locomotive lease expense is due to the Railroad's increased leasing of
new, more reliable and fuel efficient locomotives. These new locomotives
replaced older, non-leased models in the fleet, which helped reduce expenses for
depreciation, labor, materials and fuel during the year. The increase in car
cycle times is partially attributable to a decline in automotive shipments
earlier in the year, which resulted in excess freight cars being stored at
assembly plants and unloading facilities. Partially offsetting the increases in
expenses were lower volume costs, lower car leases and lower prices for
equipment. The decrease in volume costs was attributable to a decline in
carloads in commodity groups such as industrial products and intermodal that
utilize a high percentage of rented freight cars.
Depreciation - Depreciation expense increased $31 million (3%) over 2000,
resulting from capital spending in recent years. Capital spending totaled $1.7
billion in 2001 and in 2000 and $1.8 billion in 1999.
Fuel and Utilities - Expenses decreased $30 million (2%). The decrease was
driven by lower fuel prices and a record low fuel consumption rate, as measured
by gallons consumed per thousand gross ton miles. Fuel prices averaged 88 cents
per gallon in 2001 compared to 90 cents per gallon in 2000, including taxes,
transportation costs and regional pricing spreads of 17 cents and 13 cents in
2001 and 2000, respectively. The Railroad hedged approximately 32% of its fuel
consumption for the year, which increased fuel costs by $20 million. As of
December 31, 2001, expected fuel consumption for 2002 is 44% hedged at 56 cents
per gallon excluding taxes, transportation costs and regional pricing spreads
and for 2003 is 5% hedged at 56 cents per gallon excluding taxes, transportation
costs and regional pricing spreads (see note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Item 8).
24
<PAGE>
Materials and Supplies - Expenses decreased $71 million (13%), reflecting
locomotive overhaul reductions and productivity improvements and cost control
measures. Locomotive overhauls decreased due to acquisition of new,
more-reliable locomotives during the year and the sale of older units, which
required higher maintenance. Materials and supplies expenses related to car
maintenance also declined due to lower business levels in the industrial
products and automotive commodity groups. The cars utilized in these commodity
groups normally require more maintenance than the cars utilized within the other
commodity groups.
Casualty Costs - Costs increased $9 million (3%) compared to 2000, as higher
insurance, bad debt and environmental expenses were partially offset by lower
personal injury costs and lower costs for damaged freight cars.
Other Costs - Expenses increased $3 million (flat) compared to 2000 primarily
due to higher state and local taxes.
OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $178 million (9%) to $2.1 billion.
Excluding the $115 million work force reduction charge in 2000, operating income
increased $63 million (3%) in 2001. The operating margin for 2001 was 19.3%,
compared to 17.7% in 2000. Excluding the work force reduction charge, the
operating margin for 2000 was 18.8%.
NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Non-operating expense decreased $56 million (12%) compared
to 2000. Real estate sales and net other income increased $48 million (38%).
Interest expense decreased $8 million (1%) as a result of lower weighted-average
debt levels in 2001. Income taxes increased $102 million (20%) in 2001 compared
to 2000. Excluding the work force reduction charge in 2000, income tax expense
increased $59 million (11%). The increase was a result of higher pre-tax income
levels in 2001 and an increase in the effective tax rate from 35.6% in 2000 to
36.7% in 2001.
TRUCKING SEGMENT
OPERATING REVENUES - In 2001, trucking revenues rose $30 million (3%) to $1,143
million. The growth resulted from rate increases, new services and $10 million
in incremental revenue due to the acquisition of Motor Cargo. Tonnage for the
year was flat compared to 2000.
OPERATING EXPENSES - Trucking operating expenses rose $29 million (3%) to $1,089
million in 2001. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $40 million
(6%) due to a 4% increase in employees as well as wage and benefit inflation and
enhancements. Fuel and utilities costs decreased $5 million (7%), as a result of
lower fuel prices during the year (82 cents per gallon average in 2001 compared
to 90 cents per gallon average in 2000, including transportation costs and
regional pricing spreads, and excluding taxes), partially offset by a 1%
increase in gallons consumed. Overnite did not hedge any fuel volume for the
year ended December 31, 2001. However, as of December 31, 2001, Overnite had
hedged approximately 16% of its expected fuel consumption for 2002 at an average
of 58 cents per gallon, excluding taxes, transportation costs and regional
pricing spreads and had hedged approximately 5% of its expected fuel consumption
for 2003 at an average of 58 cents per gallon excluding taxes, transportation
costs and regional pricing spreads. Equipment and other rents decreased $4
million (4%) due to decreased use of contract transportation during the year.
High utilization of contract transportation in 2000 was necessary due to the
Teamsters related work stoppage. Casualty costs increased $7 million (18%) due
to higher bad debt, insurance and cargo loss and damage expenses. Other costs
decreased $11 million (10%) due to lower expenses related to decreased security
(related to Teamsters' matters), legal and employee travel expenses in 2001.
OPERATING INCOME - Trucking operations generated operating income of $54 million
in 2001, compared to $53 million for 2000. The operating ratio increased to
95.3%, compared to 95.2% in 2000.
OTHER PRODUCT LINES
OTHER - Operating losses increased $10 million in 2001 compared to 2000.
Operating revenues declined $4 million year over year. Operating expenses
increased $6 million due to increased spending at the technology companies to
develop new products and services.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2002, the Corporation's principal sources of liquidity
included cash, cash equivalents, the sale of receivables, and revolving credit
facilities, as well as issuance of commercial paper and other sources of
financing through the capital markets. The Corporation had $1.875 billion of
credit facilities available, of which there were no borrowings
25
<PAGE>
outstanding as of December 31, 2002. The sale of receivables program is subject
to certain requirements including the maintenance of an investment grade bond
rating. If the Corporation's bond rating were to deteriorate, it could have an
adverse impact on the liquidity of the Corporation. Receivables sold as of
December 31, 2002 were $600 million. Access to commercial paper is dependent on
market conditions. Deterioration of the Corporation's operating results or
financial condition due to internal or external factors could negatively impact
the Corporation's ability to utilize commercial paper as a source of liquidity.
Liquidity through the capital markets is also dependent on the financial
stability of the Corporation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash from operations was $2.3 billion, $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion in 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase from 2001 to 2002 is the result of
higher net income, partially offset by pension plan funding. The decrease from
2000 to 2001 was primarily due to the timing of large cash payments, including
the payments for the work force reduction plan in 2001.
Cash used in investing activities was $1.5 billion in 2002 and in 2001 and
$1.6 billion in 2000. The amount remained essentially flat from 2001 to 2002 as
higher real estate sales, a warranty refund from a vendor and a dividend from an
affiliate in 2002 were offset by higher capital spending. The decrease from 2000
to 2001 was due to reduced capital spending and higher asset sales in 2001,
partially offset by the receipt of cash dividends in 2000.
The following table details capital expenditures for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000:
<Table>
<Caption>
Capital Expenditures

</Table>
Cash used in financing activities was $473 million, $440 million and $486
million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase from 2001 to 2002
reflects lower financings ($775 million in 2002 versus $925 million in 2001),
partly offset by an increase in the proceeds from the exercise of stock options
($150 million in 2002 versus $52 million in 2001). The decrease from 2000 to
2001 reflects higher financings in 2001 ($925 million in 2001 versus $506
million in 2000) and an increase in stock option proceeds ($52 million in 2001
versus $3 million in 2000), partially offset by higher debt repayments ($1.2
billion in 2001 versus $796 million in 2000).
Including the convertible preferred securities (see note 5 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8) as an equity instrument, the ratio of
debt to total capital employed was 38.8%, 42.2% and 45.1% at December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Corporation's
ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 3.9, 3.0 and 2.5, respectively. The ratio
of earnings to fixed charges has been computed on a consolidated basis. Earnings
represent net income less equity in undistributed earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates, plus fixed charges and income taxes. Fixed charges represent
interest charges, amortization of debt discount, and the estimated amount
representing the interest portion of rental charges.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
As described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8, as
referenced in the tables below, the Corporation has contractual obligations and
commercial commitments that may affect the financial condition of the
Corporation. However, based on management's assessment of the underlying
provisions and circumstances of the material contractual obligations and
commercial commitments of the Corporation, including material sources of
off-balance sheet and structured finance arrangements, there is no known trend,
demand, commitment, event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur
which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, the
commercial obligations, financings and commitments made by the Corporation are
customary transactions which are similar to those of other comparable industrial
corporations, particularly within the transportation industry.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
CREDIT FACILITIES - The Corporation had no commercial paper borrowings
outstanding as of December 31, 2002. Commercial paper is issued from time to
time for working capital needs and is supported by $1.875 billion in credit
facilities, of which $875 million expires in March 2003, with the remaining $1.0
billion expiring in 2005. The credit facility for $875 million includes $825
million that was entered into during March 2002 and $50 million entered into
during June 2002. The $1.0 billion credit facility was entered into during March
2000. The Corporation has the option to hold higher cash balances in addition to
or in replacement of the credit facilities to support commercial paper. These
credit facilities also allow for borrowings at floating (LIBOR-based) rates,
plus a spread, depending upon the Corporation's senior unsecured debt ratings.
The credit facilities are designated for general corporate purposes, and none of
the credit facilities were used as of December 31, 2002. Commitment fees and
interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates
available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. The Corporation is
reviewing rollover options for the credit facility that expires in March 2003.
SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT - During January 2002, under an existing shelf
registration statement, the Corporation issued $300 million of 6-1/8% fixed rate
debt with a maturity of January 15, 2012. The proceeds from the issuance were
used for repayment of debt and other general corporate purposes. In April 2002,
the Corporation called its $150 million, 8-5/8% debentures due May 15, 2022 for
redemption in May 2002. The Corporation issued $350 million of 6-1/2% fixed rate
debt with a maturity of April 15, 2012, in order to fund the redemption. The
Corporation used the remaining proceeds to repay other debt and for other
general corporate purposes. On May 17, 2002, the Corporation issued the
remaining $50 million of debt under the existing shelf registration statement.
The debt carries a fixed rate of 5-3/4% with a maturity of October 15, 2007. The
proceeds from the issuance were used for repayment of debt and other general
corporate purposes.
27
<PAGE>
The Corporation filed a $1.0 billion shelf registration statement, which
became effective in July 2002. Under the shelf registration statement, the
Corporation may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt securities,
preferred stock, common stock or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock
in one or more offerings. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had $1.0 billion
remaining for issuance under the shelf registration. The Corporation has no
immediate plans to issue equity securities.
OTHER SIGNIFICANT FINANCINGS - During June 2002, UPRR entered into a capital
lease covering new locomotives. The related capital lease obligation totaled
approximately $126 million and is included in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Position as debt (see note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
Item 8).
In December 2001, the Railroad entered into a synthetic operating lease
arrangement to finance a new headquarters building, which will be constructed in
Omaha, Nebraska. The expected completion date of the building is mid-2004. It
will total approximately 1.1 million square feet with approximately 3,800 office
workspaces. The cost to construct the new headquarters, including capitalized
interest, is approximately $260 million. The Corporation has guaranteed all of
the Railroad's obligation under this lease.
UPRR is the construction agent for the lessor during the construction period.
The Railroad has guaranteed, in the event of a loss caused by or resulting from
its actions or failures to act as construction agent, 89.9% of the building
related construction costs incurred up to that point during the construction
period. Total building related costs incurred and drawn from the lease funding
commitments as of December 31, 2002, were approximately $50 million.
Accordingly, the Railroad's guarantee at December 31, 2002, was approximately
$45 million. As construction continues and additional costs are incurred, this
guarantee will increase accordingly.
After construction is complete, UPRR will lease the building under an initial
term of five years with provisions for renewal for an extended period subject to
agreement between the Railroad and lessor. At any time during the lease, the
Railroad may, at its option, purchase the building at approximately the amount
expended by the lessor to construct the building. If the Railroad elects not to
purchase the building or renew the lease, the building is returned to the lessor
for remarketing, and the Railroad has guaranteed a residual value equal to 85%
of the total construction related costs. The guarantee will be approximately
$220 million.
OTHER MATTERS
PERSONAL INJURY AND OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS - The cost of injuries to employees and
others related to Railroad activities or in accidents involving the trucking
segment is charged to expense based on actuarial estimates of the ultimate cost
and number of incidents each year. During 2002, the Railroad's reported number
of work-related injuries that resulted in lost job time decreased 5% compared to
the number of injuries reported during 2001, and accidents at grade crossings
decreased 16% compared to 2001. Annual expenses for the Corporation's personal
injury-related events were $259 million in 2002, $227 million in 2001 and $226
million in 2000. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had a
liability of $724 million and $743 million, respectively, accrued for future
personal injury costs, of which $304 million and $295 million were recorded in
current liabilities as accrued casualty costs. The Railroad has additional
amounts accrued for claims related to certain occupational illnesses.
Compensation for Railroad work-related accidents is governed by the Federal
Employers' Liability Act (FELA). Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a
finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements. The Railroad
offers a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for
employees who are injured at work.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS - The Corporation generates and transports hazardous and
non-hazardous waste in its current and former operations, and is subject to
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Corporation has
identified approximately 433 sites at which it is or may be liable for
remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of
environmental requirements. This includes 52 sites that are the subject of
actions taken by the U.S. government, 27 of which are currently on the Superfund
National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several
liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, the
Corporation's ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to
activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to its own activities
at each site.
When an environmental issue has been identified with respect to the property
owned, leased or otherwise used in the conduct of the Corporation's business,
the Corporation and its consultants perform environmental assessments on such
property. The Corporation expenses the cost of the assessments as incurred. The
Corporation accrues the cost of remediation where its obligation is probable and
such costs can be reasonably estimated.
28
<PAGE>
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had a liability of $189
million and $172 million, respectively, accrued for future environmental costs,
of which $72 million and $71 million were recorded in current liabilities as
accrued casualty costs. The liability includes future costs for remediation and
restoration of sites, as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any
anticipated recoveries from third parties. Cost estimates are based on
information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially
responsible parties, and existing technology, laws and regulations. The
Corporation believes that it has adequately accrued for its ultimate share of
costs at sites subject to joint and several liability. However, the ultimate
liability for remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of
potentially responsible parties involved, site-specific cost sharing
arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, the degree of
contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data
related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative nature of remediation
costs. The Corporation expects to pay out the majority of the December 31, 2002,
environmental liability over the next five years, funded by cash generated from
operations.
Remediation of identified sites previously used in operations, used by
tenants or contaminated by former owners required cash spending of $68 million
in 2002, $63 million in 2001, and $62 million in 2000. The Corporation is also
engaged in reducing emissions, spills and migration of hazardous materials, and
spent cash of $6 million, $5 million and $8 million in 2002, 2001, and 2000,
respectively, for control and prevention. In 2003, the Corporation anticipates
spending $65 million for remediation and $9 million for control and prevention.
The impact of current obligations is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the liquidity of the Corporation.
LABOR MATTERS
Rail - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 47,000 employees are
represented by 14 major rail unions. National negotiations under the Railway
Labor Act to revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late
1999. In May 2001, the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees (BMWE)
ratified a five-year agreement, which included provisions for an annual wage
increase (based on the consumer price index) and progressive health and welfare
cost sharing. In August 2002, the carriers reached a five year agreement with
the United Transportation Union (UTU) for annual wage increases as follows: 4.0%
July 2002, 2.5% July 2003, and 3.0% July 2004. The agreement also established a
process for resolving the health and welfare cost sharing issue through
arbitration and also provided for the operation of remote control locomotives by
trainmen. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE) challenged the remote
control feature of the UTU Agreement and a recent arbitration decision held that
operation of remote control by UTU members in terminals does not violate the BLE
agreement. In November 2002, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and
Blacksmiths (IBB) reached a five year agreement following the UTU wage pattern.
In January 2003, an arbitration award was rendered establishing wage increases
and health and welfare employee cost sharing for the Transportation
Communications International Union (TCU). Contract discussions with the
remaining unions are either in negotiation or mediation. Also during 2002, the
National Mediation Board ruled against the UTU on its petition for a single
operating craft on the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The BLE is now working on
a possible merger with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters).
Trucking - During 2002, OTC continued to oppose the efforts of the Teamsters to
unionize OTC service centers. On February 11, 2002, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting as a full panel, refused to enforce four
bargaining orders issued by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that would
have required OTC to bargain with the Teamsters, even though the Teamsters lost
secret ballot elections. Subsequently, the NLRB moved for a judgment against
itself to reverse the seven other bargaining orders it had issued, and the
Fourth Circuit entered that judgment. On October 11, 2002, the NLRB's General
Counsel dismissed a charge the Teamsters had filed in August 2001 alleging that
OTC had been bargaining in bad faith. OTC has not reached any collective
bargaining agreement with the Teamsters. On October 24, 2002, the Teamsters
ended the national strike they had called against OTC three years earlier.
The Teamsters' eight-year campaign to organize OTC's service centers has
become almost entirely dormant, and since October 2002, the Teamsters have lost
rights to represent 41% of the approximately 2,100 employees they had organized.
The Teamsters had become the bargaining representative of the employees at 26 of
OTC's 170 service centers, but the employees at 17 of these locations recently
have voted to decertify the Teamsters, and the NLRB has officially approved the
votes in 14 of those locations. Decertification petitions are pending at four
other service centers. Only a single representation petition currently is
pending, but due to strike violence charges pending against the Teamsters, the
NLRB has blocked the Teamsters' efforts to precipitate an election. In all, the
Teamsters currently represent approximately 10% of OTC's 12,534 employees.
Employees at two Motor Cargo service centers located in North Salt Lake, Utah
and Reno, Nevada, representing approximately 11% of Motor Cargo's total work
force at 33 service centers, are covered by two separate collective bargaining
29
<PAGE>
agreements with unions affiliated with the Teamsters. Although the agreements
cover most of the employees at these two facilities, less than half of these
covered employees are actual members of unions.
INFLATION - The cumulative effect of long periods of inflation has significantly
increased asset replacement costs for capital-intensive companies such as the
Railroad, OTC and Motor Cargo. As a result, depreciation charges on an
inflation-adjusted basis, assuming that all operating assets are replaced at
current price levels, would be substantially greater than historically reported
amounts.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Corporation and its subsidiaries use
derivative financial instruments in limited instances for other than trading
purposes to manage risk related to changes in fuel prices and to achieve the
Corporation's interest rate objectives. The Corporation uses swaps, futures
and/or forward contracts to mitigate the downside risk of adverse price
movements and hedge the exposure to variable cash flows. The use of these
instruments also limits future gains from favorable movements. The Corporation
uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. The
purpose of these programs is to protect the Corporation's operating margins and
overall profitability from adverse fuel price changes or interest rate
fluctuations.
The Corporation may also use swaptions to secure near-term swap prices.
Swaptions are swaps that are extendable past their base period at the option of
the counterparty. Swaptions do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and
are marked-to-market through the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Market and Credit Risk - The Corporation addresses market risk related to
derivative financial instruments by selecting instruments with value
fluctuations that highly correlate with the underlying item being hedged. Credit
risk related to derivative financial instruments, which is minimal, is managed
by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and periodic settlements.
At December 31, 2002, the Corporation has not been required to provide
collateral, nor has UPC received collateral relating to its hedging activities.
In addition, the Corporation enters into secured financings in which the
debtor has pledged collateral. The collateral is based upon the nature of the
financing and the credit risk of the debtor. The Corporation generally is not
permitted to sell or repledge the collateral unless the debtor defaults.
Determination of Fair Value - The fair values of the Corporation's derivative
financial instrument positions at December 31, 2002 and 2001, were determined
based upon current fair values as quoted by recognized dealers or developed
based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
applicable U.S. Treasury rate, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) or swap
spread.
Sensitivity Analyses - The sensitivity analyses that follow illustrate the
economic effect that hypothetical changes in interest rates or fuel prices could
have on the Corporation's financial instruments. These hypothetical changes do
not consider other factors that could impact actual results.
Interest Rates - The Corporation manages its overall exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates by adjusting the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt
instruments within its debt portfolio over a given period. The mix of fixed and
floating rate debt is largely managed through the issuance of targeted amounts
of each as debt matures or as incremental borrowings are required. Derivatives
are used as one of the tools to obtain the targeted mix. In addition, the
Corporation also obtains flexibility in managing interest costs and the interest
rate mix within its debt portfolio by evaluating the issuance of and managing
outstanding callable fixed-rate debt securities.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had variable-rate debt
representing approximately 12% of its total debt. If variable interest rates
average 10% higher in 2003 than the Corporation's December 31, 2002 variable
rate, which was approximately 3%, the Corporation's interest expense would
increase by less than $5 million after tax. If variable interest rates had
averaged 10% higher in 2002 than the Corporation's December 31, 2001 variable
rate, the Corporation's interest expense would have increased by less than $5
million after tax. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of
the hypothetical interest rates on the balances of the Corporation's
variable-rate debt at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Swaps allow the Corporation to convert debt from fixed rates to variable
rates and thereby hedge the risk of changes in the debt's fair value
attributable to the changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR). The swaps
have been accounted for using the short-cut method as allowed by Financial
Accounting Standard (FAS) 133; therefore, no ineffectiveness has been
30
<PAGE>
recorded within the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements. In January
2002, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap on $250 million of debt
with a maturity date of December 2006. In May 2002, the Corporation entered into
an interest rate swap on $150 million of debt with a maturity date of February
2023. This swap contained a call option that matches the call option of the
underlying hedged debt, as allowed by FAS 133. In January 2003, the swap's
counterparty exercised their option to cancel the swap, effective February 1,
2003. Similarly, the Corporation has exercised its option to redeem the
underlying debt. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had
approximately $898 million and $598 million of interest rate swaps,
respectively. The effect of a 10% interest rate increase or decrease in 2003
over the December 31, 2002 rates is included in the preceding and succeeding
paragraph disclosure, respectively.
Market risk for fixed-rate debt is estimated as the potential increase in
fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates as of
December 31, 2002, and amounts to approximately $203 million at December 31,
2002. Market risk resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates
as of December 31, 2001, amounted to approximately $226 million at December 31,
2001. The fair values of the Corporation's fixed-rate debt were estimated by
considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on quoted market
prices and current borrowing rates.
Fuel - Fuel costs are a significant portion of the Corporation's total operating
expenses. As a result of the significance of fuel costs and the historical
volatility of fuel prices, the Corporation's transportation subsidiaries
periodically use swaps, futures and/or forward contracts to mitigate the impact
of adverse fuel price changes. The Corporation at times may use swaptions to
secure more favorable swap prices.
As of December 31, 2002, expected rail fuel consumption for 2003 is 7% hedged
at 58 cents per gallon, excluding taxes, transportation costs and regional
pricing spreads. As of December 31, 2002, the Railroad has no outstanding hedges
for 2004. Based on annualized fuel consumption during 2002, and excluding the
impact of the hedging program, each one-cent increase in the price of fuel would
have resulted in approximately $8.2 million of additional fuel expense, after
tax.
As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation had hedged approximately 44% of its
forecasted 2002 fuel consumption and 5% of its forecasted 2003 fuel consumption
at 56 cents per gallon, excluding taxes, transportation costs and regional
pricing spreads.
As of December 31, 2002, expected trucking fuel consumption for 2003 is 5%
hedged at 58 cents per gallon, excluding taxes, transportation costs and
regional pricing spreads. As of December 31, 2002, there are no outstanding
hedges for 2004. Based on annualized fuel consumption during 2002, and excluding
the impact of the hedging program, each one-cent increase in the price of fuel
would have resulted in approximately $400,000 of additional fuel expense, after
tax.
As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation had hedged approximately 16% of its
forecasted 2002 trucking fuel consumption and 5% of its forecasted 2003 fuel
consumption at 58 cents per gallon, excluding taxes, transportation costs and
regional pricing spreads.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (FAS 143). FAS 143 is effective
for the Corporation beginning January 1, 2003. FAS 143 requires that the
Corporation record a liability for the fair value of an asset retirement
obligation when the Corporation has a legal obligation to remove the asset. The
standard will affect the way the Corporation accounts for track structure
removal costs, but will have no impact on liquidity. The Corporation is
currently evaluating the impact of this statement on the Corporation's
Consolidated Financial Statements. Any impact resulting from the adoption of
this statement will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle in the first quarter of 2003.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS 146). FAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized
at fair value when the liability is incurred and is effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management
believes that FAS 146 will not have a material impact on the Corporation's
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 is effective for guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements were effective for
the year ending December 31, 2002, which expand the disclosures required by a
guarantor about its obligations under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires the
Corporation to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in the issuance of the guarantee.
Management does not believe that FIN 45 will have a material impact on the
Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.
31
<PAGE>
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (FAS 148). FAS 148
provides alternative methods of transition for voluntary changes to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, and
amends the disclosure requirements including a requirement for interim
disclosures. The Corporation currently discloses the effects of stock-based
employee compensation and does not intend to voluntarily change to the
alternative accounting principle.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity
to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the
risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to
receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN 46 also
requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not
required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to
existing entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after
June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial
statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable
interest entity was established. As described in note 10 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, Item 8, the Railroad has a synthetic operating lease
arrangement to finance a new headquarters building, which falls within the
guidance of FIN 46. In accordance with FIN 46, the Railroad will either
consolidate, restructure or refinance the synthetic lease prior to July 1, 2003.
The Corporation does not expect FIN 46 to have any impact on the treatment of
the Sale of Receivables program as described in note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, Item 8.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - There are various claims and lawsuits pending
against the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries. The Corporation is also
subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations,
pursuant to which it is currently participating in the investigation and
remediation of various sites. A discussion of certain claims, lawsuits,
contingent liabilities and guarantees is set forth in note 10 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8.
PENSIONS - During the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation decreased its
assumed rate of return on pension plan assets from 10% to 9%. This assumption
change resulted in an increase to 2002 pension expense of $22 million. In
addition, due to declines on plan assets, a minimum pension liability adjustment
was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2002. This adjustment resulted in a
reduction of common shareholders' equity. The reduction in equity totaled $225
million, after tax (approximately 2% of total equity).
OTC voluntarily contributed $125 million to its pension plan during 2002. The
Railroad voluntarily contributed $100 million to its pension plan during the
fourth quarter of 2002. The Corporation currently does not have any minimum
funding requirements, as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws; however,
UPC plans to voluntarily contribute approximately $75 million during 2003.
Required contributions subsequent to 2003 are dependent on asset returns,
current discount rates and a number of other factors; however, the Corporation
expects to continue discretionary funding to help manage any potential required
funding in the future. Future contributions are expected to be funded primarily
by cash generated from operating activities.
DIVIDEND RECEIVABLE - The Railroad owns a 26% interest in Grupo Ferroviario
Mexicano, S.A. de C.V. (GFM). GFM operates a major railway system in Mexico.
During the third quarter of 2002, the Railroad recorded a dividend from GFM of
approximately $118 million. As of December 31, 2002, the dividend is reflected
as a receivable in the Corporation's Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position. The dividend is accounted for as a reduction to investments in and
advances to affiliated companies in the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position as of December 31, 2002 and creates no effect on the Corporation's
Consolidated Statements of Income. During the fourth quarter 2002, the Railroad
received approximately $20 million of the dividend receivable, and anticipates
it will receive the remainder of the dividend during 2003.
WEST COAST PORT DISRUPTION - During September of 2002, the labor dispute between
the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific
Maritime Association escalated and resulted in work slow-downs and a lockout of
the ILWU dockworkers for four days at the end of the third quarter and continued
for nine days into the fourth quarter of 2002. The estimated impact on fourth
quarter earnings is approximately 10 cents per share, resulting mainly from
international intermodal shipments diverted to trucks and suspended shipments
due to vessel scheduling disruptions.
RAILROAD RETIREMENT REFORM - On December 21, 2001, The Railroad Retirement and
Survivors' Improvement Act of 2001 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act was a
result of historic cooperation between rail management and labor, and provides
improved railroad retirement benefits for employees and reduced payroll taxes
for employers. The estimated savings to the Railroad during 2002 from passage of
the Act was $36 million, pre-tax, in reduced employer payroll taxes. Incremental
savings are expected in 2003 as the employer tax rate is further reduced by 1.4
percentage points from 15.6% to 14.2%.
32
<PAGE>
WORK FORCE REDUCTION - During 2003, the Corporation is planning to reduce
approximately 1,000 administrative positions, through a combination of attrition
and involuntary severance. The estimated 2003 severance cost is $45 million,
pre-tax, the majority of which should occur in the first quarter of 2003.
A LOOK FORWARD
2003 BUSINESS OUTLOOK
RAIL - The Railroad expects to build on the positive momentum generated in the
past several years and continue to grow revenue, operating income and free cash
flow. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less
cash used in investing activities and dividends paid. Year-over-year revenue
growth is projected in all commodity groups with the largest percentage
increases projected in the intermodal, agricultural and industrial groups.
Revenue derived from chemical and energy shipments is expected to increase
steadily over 2003. Automotive revenue is also expected to increase slightly
from last year's record setting pace, thereby continuing as a strong revenue
provider. The Railroad will continue to focus on improving service performance
while developing new, innovative rail service offerings to meet the changing
needs of its customers. While operating expenses will likely increase for such
items as insurance, pension, operating taxes and minimum guaranteed payments to
union employees, cost controls and continuing improvements in productivity will
remain a focus to drive the operating ratio lower. Fuel price will remain
susceptible to near term volatile price swings. To help reduce the impact of
fuel price volatility on earnings, the Railroad will continue to look for
opportunities to use hedge contracts.
TRUCKING - Overnite expects financial performance to further improve upon its
positive 2002 results. Solid revenue growth is projected, in part due to
additional business resulting from the forced closure of Consolidated
Freightways. Cost controls and productivity improvements are projected to
positively impact operating expenses, which will mitigate the impact of
inflationary pressures and volatile fuel prices. Overnite will continue to offer
reliable on-time performance and quality service, which should enable Overnite
to maintain profitable margins.
2003 CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
The Corporation's 2003 capital expenditures and debt service requirements are
expected to be funded through cash generated from operations, additional debt
financings and the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating
properties. The Corporation expects that these sources will continue to provide
sufficient funds to meet cash requirements in the foreseeable future. In 2003,
the Corporation expects to spend approximately $1.8 to $2.0 billion on capital
expenditures. These capital expenditures will be used to maintain track and
structures, continue capacity expansions on the Railroad's main lines, upgrade
and augment equipment to better meet customer needs, build infrastructure and
develop and implement new technologies. OTC and Motor Cargo will continue to
maintain their truck fleet, expand service centers and enhance technology.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Union Pacific Corporation, its Directors and Shareholders:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position
of Union Pacific Corporation and Subsidiary Companies (the Corporation) as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in common shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the
consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at
Part IV, Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Union Pacific Corporation and
Subsidiary Companies at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Union Pacific Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) and all of its
subsidiaries. Investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned) are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant
intercompany transactions are eliminated.
CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS - Temporary investments are stated at cost which
approximates fair value and consist of investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
INVENTORIES - Inventories consist of materials and supplies carried at the lower
of average cost or market.
PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION - Properties are carried at cost. Provisions for
depreciation are computed principally on the straight-line method based on
estimated service lives of depreciable property. The cost (net of salvage) of
depreciable rail property retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business
is charged to accumulated depreciation. A gain or loss is recognized in other
income for all other property upon disposition. The cost of internally developed
software is capitalized and amortized over a five-year period. An obsolescence
review of capitalized software is performed on a periodic basis.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Corporation reviews long-lived assets,
including identifiable intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived
assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by
the discounted cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Corporation recognizes transportation revenues on a
percentage-of-completion basis as freight moves from origin to destination.
Other revenue is recognized as service is performed or contractual obligations
are met.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY - The Corporation's portion of the assets and
liabilities related to foreign investments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses
are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The
resulting translation adjustments are reflected within shareholders' equity as
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses
related to intercompany accounts are not significant.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of the Corporation's non-derivative
financial instruments approximates fair value. The fair value of financial
instruments is generally determined by reference to market values as quoted by
recognized dealers or developed based upon the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the applicable U.S. Treasury rate, London Interbank
Offered Rates (LIBOR) or swap spread.
The Corporation periodically uses derivative financial instruments, for other
than trading purposes, to manage risk related to changes in fuel prices and
interest rates.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - At December 31, 2002, the Corporation has several
stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in note
8. The Corporation accounts for those plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation
expense, related to stock option grants, is reflected in net income as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based employee
compensation expense related to restricted stock and other incentive plans is
reflected in net income. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation.

</Table>
EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock
options, stock-based awards and the potential conversion of the preferred
securities where the conversion of such instruments would be dilutive.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation
include estimates and assumptions regarding certain assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and the disclosure of certain contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual future results may differ from such estimates.
INCOME TAXES - The Corporation accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (FAS 109). The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize
the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. These expected
future tax consequences are measured based on provisions of tax law as currently
enacted; the effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Future
tax law changes, such as a change in the corporate tax rate, could have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial position or its results of
operations.
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - The Corporation incurs certain
employment-related expenses associated with pensions and postretirement health
benefits. In order to measure the expense associated with these benefits,
management must make various estimates including discount rates used to value
certain liabilities, assumed rates of return on plan assets used to fund these
expenses, compensation increases, employee turnover rates, anticipated mortality
rates and expected future healthcare costs. The estimates used by management are
based on the Corporation's historical experience as well as current facts and
circumstances. The Corporation uses third-party actuaries to assist management
in properly measuring the expense associated with these benefits. Actual results
that vary from the previously mentioned assumptions could have a material impact
on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
PERSONAL INJURY - The cost of injuries to employees and others on Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UPRR) property or in accidents involving the trucking segment
is charged to expense based on actuarial estimates of the ultimate cost and
number of incidents each year.
ENVIRONMENTAL - When environmental issues have been identified with respect to
the property owned, leased or otherwise used in the conduct of the Corporation's
business, the Corporation and its consultants perform environmental assessments
on such property. The Corporation expenses the cost of the assessments as
incurred. The Corporation accrues the cost of remediation where its obligation
is probable and such costs can be reasonably estimated.
CHANGE IN PRESENTATION - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2002 Consolidated Financial Statement presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating income or net
income.
1. OPERATIONS AND SEGMENTATION
Union Pacific Corporation consists of two reportable segments, rail and
trucking, as well as UPC's other product lines (Other). The rail segment
includes the operations of the Corporation's indirect wholly owned subsidiary,
UPRR and UPRR's subsidiaries and rail affiliates (collectively, the Railroad).
The trucking segment includes Overnite Transportation Company
42
<PAGE>
(OTC) and Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. (Motor Cargo) as of November 30, 2001,
both operating as separate and distinct subsidiaries of Overnite Corporation
(Overnite), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UPC. The Corporation's other
product lines are comprised of the corporate holding company (which largely
supports the Railroad), self-insurance activities, technology companies, and all
appropriate consolidating entries.
RAIL SEGMENT
OPERATIONS - The Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates in the United
States. As of October 1, 1996, the Railroad included Southern Pacific Rail
Corporation (Southern Pacific or SP). In addition, during 1997, the Railroad and
a consortium of partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the
Pacific-North and Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico. The Railroad made an
additional investment in the consortium in 1999. During 2001, UPC completed its
integration of Southern Pacific's rail operations.
The Railroad has over 33,000 route miles linking Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast
ports to the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing several
north/south corridors to key Mexican gateways. The Railroad serves the western
two-thirds of the country and maintains coordinated schedules with other
carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific
Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada and Mexico. Export and import
traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the
Mexican and Canadian borders. Railroad freight is comprised of six commodity
lines: agricultural, automotive, chemicals, energy, industrial products and
intermodal. The Railroad continues to focus on utilization of its capital asset
base to meet current operating needs and to introduce innovative rail services
across every commodity line.
The Railroad is subject to price and service competition from other
railroads, motor carriers and barge operators. The Railroad's main competitor is
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation. Its rail subsidiary, The Burlington
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, operates parallel routes in many of the
Railroad's main traffic corridors. In addition, the Railroad's operations are
conducted in corridors served by other competing railroads and by motor
carriers. Motor carrier competition is particularly strong for intermodal
traffic. Because of the proximity of the Railroad's routes to major inland and
Gulf Coast waterways, barge competition can be particularly pronounced,
especially for grain and bulk commodities.
The Railroad is dependent on two key suppliers of locomotives. Due to the
capital intensive nature and sophistication of this equipment, there are strong
barriers of entry to new suppliers. Therefore, if one of these suppliers would
no longer produce locomotives, the Railroad could realize a significant increase
in the cost and the potential for reduced availability of the locomotives that
are necessary to its operations.
EMPLOYEES - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 47,000 employees are
represented by 14 major rail unions. National negotiations under the Railway
Labor Act to revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late
1999. In May 2001, the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees (BMWE)
ratified a five-year agreement, which included provisions for an annual wage
increase (based on the consumer price index) and progressive health and welfare
cost sharing. In August 2002, the carriers reached a five year agreement with
the United Transportation Union (UTU) for annual wage increases as follows: 4.0%
July 2002, 2.5% July 2003, and 3.0% July 2004. The agreement also established a
process for resolving the health and welfare cost sharing issue through
arbitration and also provided for the operation of remote control locomotives by
trainmen. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE) challenged the remote
control feature of the UTU Agreement and a recent arbitration decision held that
operation of remote control by UTU members in terminals does not violate the BLE
agreement. In November 2002, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and
Blacksmiths (IBB) reached a five year agreement following the UTU wage pattern.
In January 2003, an arbitration award was rendered establishing wage increases
and health and welfare employee cost sharing for the Transportation
Communications International Union (TCU). Contract discussions with the
remaining unions are either in negotiation or mediation. Also during 2002, the
National Mediation Board ruled against the UTU on its petition for a single
operating craft on the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The BLE is now working on
a possible merger with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters).
TRUCKING SEGMENT
OPERATIONS - The trucking segment includes the operations of OTC and Motor
Cargo. OTC is a major interstate trucking company specializing in
less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. OTC serves all 50 states and portions of
Canada and Mexico through 170 service centers located throughout the United
States providing regional, inter-regional and long haul service.
43
<PAGE>
OTC transports a variety of products including machinery, tobacco, textiles,
plastics, electronics and paper products. Motor Cargo is a western regional LTL
carrier that provides comprehensive service throughout 10 western states. Motor
Cargo transports general commodities, including consumer goods, packaged
foodstuffs, industrial and electronic equipment and auto parts. OTC and Motor
Cargo experience intense service and price competition from regional,
inter-regional and national LTL carriers and, to a lesser extent, from truckload
carriers, railroads and overnight delivery companies. Major competitors include
US Freightways and CNF Inc. OTC and Motor Cargo believe they are able to compete
effectively in their markets by providing high quality, customized service at
competitive prices.
EMPLOYEES - During 2002, OTC continued to oppose the efforts of the Teamsters to
unionize OTC service centers. On February 11, 2002, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting as a full panel, refused to enforce four
bargaining orders issued by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that would
have required OTC to bargain with the Teamsters, even though the Teamsters lost
secret ballot elections. Subsequently, the NLRB moved for a judgment against
itself to reverse the seven other bargaining orders it had issued, and the
Fourth Circuit entered that judgment. On October 11, 2002, the NLRB's General
Counsel dismissed a charge the Teamsters had filed in August 2001 alleging that
OTC had been bargaining in bad faith. OTC has not reached any collective
bargaining agreement with the Teamsters. On October 24, 2002, the Teamsters
ended the national strike they had called against OTC three years earlier.
The Teamsters' eight-year campaign to organize OTC's service centers has
become almost entirely dormant, and since October 2002, the Teamsters have lost
rights to represent 41% of the approximately 2,100 employees they had organized.
The Teamsters had become the bargaining representative of the employees at 26 of
OTC's 170 service centers, but the employees at 17 of these locations recently
have voted to decertify the Teamsters, and the NLRB has officially approved the
votes in 14 of those locations. Decertification petitions are pending at four
other service centers. Only a single representation petition currently is
pending, but due to strike violence charges pending against the Teamsters, the
NLRB has blocked the Teamsters' efforts to precipitate an election. In all, the
Teamsters currently represent approximately 10% of OTC's 12,534 employees.
Employees at two Motor Cargo service centers located in North Salt Lake, Utah
and Reno, Nevada, representing approximately 11% of Motor Cargo's total work
force at 33 service centers, are covered by two separate collective bargaining
agreements with unions affiliated with the Teamsters. Although the agreements
cover most of the employees at these two facilities, less than half of these
covered employees are actual members of unions.
OTHER PRODUCT LINES
OTHER - Included in the other product lines are the results of the corporate
holding company, self-insurance activities, technology companies, and all
appropriate consolidating entries.

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ADOPTION OF STANDARD - Effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (FASB) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) and FASB No. 138,
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities"
(FAS 138). FAS 133 and FAS 138 require that the changes in fair value of all
derivative financial instruments the Corporation uses for fuel or interest rate
hedging purposes be recorded in the Corporation's Consolidated Statements of
Financial Position. In addition, to the extent fuel hedges are ineffective due
to pricing differentials resulting from the geographic dispersion of the
Corporation's operations, income statement recognition of the ineffective
portion of the hedge position is required. Also, derivative instruments that do
not qualify for hedge accounting treatment per FAS 133 and FAS 138 require
income statement recognition. The adoption of FAS 133 and FAS 138 resulted in
the recognition of a $2 million asset on January 1, 2001.
STRATEGY AND RISK - The Corporation and its subsidiaries use derivative
financial instruments in limited instances for other than trading purposes to
manage risk related to changes in fuel prices and to achieve the Corporation's
interest rate objectives. The Corporation uses swaps, futures and/or forward
contracts to mitigate the downside risk of adverse price movements and hedge the
exposure to variable cash flows. The use of these instruments also limits future
gains from favorable movements. The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to
manage its exposure to interest rate changes. The purpose of these programs is
to protect the Corporation's operating margins and overall profitability from
adverse fuel price changes or interest rate fluctuations.
The Corporation may also use swaptions to secure near-term swap prices.
Swaptions are swaps that are extendable past their base period at the option of
the counterparty. Swaptions do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and
are marked-to-market through the Consolidated Statements of Income.
MARKET AND CREDIT RISK - The Corporation addresses market risk related to
derivative financial instruments by selecting instruments with value
fluctuations that highly correlate with the underlying item being hedged. Credit
risk related to derivative financial instruments, which is minimal, is managed
by requiring high credit standards for counterparties and periodic settlements.
At December 31, 2002, the Corporation has not been required to provide
collateral, nor has UPC received collateral relating to its hedging activities.
In addition, the Corporation enters into secured financings in which the
debtor has pledged collateral. The collateral is based upon the nature of the
financing and the credit risk of the debtor. The Corporation generally is not
permitted to sell or repledge the collateral unless the debtor defaults.
DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE - The fair values of the Corporation's derivative
financial instrument positions at December 31, 2002 and 2001, were determined
based upon current fair values as quoted by recognized dealers or developed
based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
applicable U.S. Treasury rate, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) or swap
spread.
INTEREST RATE STRATEGY - The Corporation manages its overall exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates by adjusting the proportion of fixed and floating
rate debt instruments within its debt portfolio over a given period. The mix of
fixed and floating rate debt is largely managed through the issuance of targeted
amounts of each as debt matures or as incremental borrowings are required.
Derivatives are used as one of the tools to obtain the targeted mix. In
addition, the Corporation also obtains flexibility in managing interest costs
and the interest rate mix within its debt portfolio by evaluating the issuance
of and managing outstanding callable fixed-rate debt securities.
Swaps allow the Corporation to convert debt from fixed rates to variable
rates and thereby hedge the risk of changes in the debt's fair value
attributable to the changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR). The swaps
have been accounted for using the short-cut method as allowed by Financial
Accounting Standard (FAS) 133; therefore, no ineffectiveness has been recorded
within the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2002, the
Corporation entered into an interest rate swap on $250 million of debt with a
maturity date of December 2006. In May 2002, the Corporation entered into an
interest rate swap on $150 million of debt with a maturity date of February
2023. This swap contained a call option that matches the call option of the
underlying hedged debt, as allowed by FAS 133. In January 2003, the swap's
counterparty exercised their option to cancel the swap, effective February 1,
2003. Similarly, the Corporation has exercised its option to redeem the
underlying debt. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had
approximately $898 million and $598 million of interest rate swaps,
respectively.

FUEL STRATEGY - As a result of the significance of the Corporation's fuel costs
and the historical volatility of fuel prices, the Corporation's transportation
subsidiaries periodically use swaps, futures and/or forward contracts to
mitigate adverse fuel price changes. In addition, the Corporation at times may
use fuel swaptions to secure more favorable swap prices. The following is a
summary of the Corporation's derivative financial instruments at December 31,
2002 and 2001:

FAIR VALUE OF DEBT INSTRUMENTS - The fair value of the Corporation's long- and
short-term debt has been estimated using quoted market prices or current
borrowing rates. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of total debt
exceeded the carrying value by approximately $991 million and $254 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, approximately $513
million and $850 million, respectively, of fixed-rate debt securities contain
call provisions that allow the Corporation to retire the debt instruments prior
to final maturity subject, in certain cases, to the payment of premiums.
SALE OF RECEIVABLES - The Railroad has sold, on a 364-day revolving basis, an
undivided percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts
receivable to third parties through a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Receivables
are sold at carrying value, which approximates fair value. The third parties
have designated the Railroad to service the sold receivables. The amount of
receivables sold fluctuates based upon the availability of the designated pool
of receivables and is directly affected by changing business volumes and credit
risks. Payments collected from sold receivables can be reinvested in new
receivables on behalf of the buyers. Should the Corporation's credit rating fall
below investment grade, the amount of receivables sold would be reduced, and in
certain cases, the buyers have the right to discontinue this reinvestment, thus
requiring the Railroad to fund the receivables. At December 31, 2002 and 2001,
accounts receivable are presented net of $600 million of receivables sold.

During 2002, the Corporation made considerable progress on a number of
significant income tax examination issues for prior tax years. Most of the
Corporation's tax issues relating to 1986 through 1994, as well as some issues
for 1995 through 1998, have now been substantially resolved, resulting in a
decrease in income tax expense of $67 million in 2002.
All federal income tax years prior to 1986 are closed, and most issues for
1986 through 1994 have been resolved. Years 1995 through 1998 are currently
under examination by the IRS.
The Corporation believes it has adequately reserved for federal and state
income taxes.

In January 2003, the Corporation called its $150 million 7-7/8% debentures
due February 1, 2023, for redemption in February 2003.
MORTGAGED PROPERTIES - At December 31, 2002 and 2001, approximately $9.5 billion
and $9.4 billion, respectively, of Railroad properties secure outstanding
equipment obligations and mortgage bonds.
CREDIT FACILITIES - The Corporation had no commercial paper borrowings
outstanding as of December 31, 2002. Commercial paper is issued from time to
time for working capital needs and is supported by $1.875 billion in revolving
credit facilities, of which $875 million expires in March 2003, with the
remaining $1.0 billion expiring in 2005. The credit facility for $875 million
includes $825 million that was entered into during March 2002 and $50 million
entered into during June 2002. The $1.0 billion credit facility was entered into
during March 2000. The Corporation has the option to hold higher cash balances
in addition to or in replacement of the credit facilities to support commercial
paper. These credit facilities also allow for borrowings at floating
(LIBOR-based) rates, plus a spread, depending upon the Corporation's senior
unsecured debt ratings. The credit facilities are designated for general
corporate purposes, and none of the credit facilities were used as of December
31, 2002. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are
similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade
borrowers. The Corporation is reviewing rollover options for the credit facility
that expires in March 2003. To the extent the Corporation has long-term credit
facilities available, commercial paper borrowings and other current maturities
of long-term debt of $188 million and $674 million as of December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively, have been reclassified as long-term debt maturing in the
years 2004 and 2003, respectively. This reclassification reflects the
Corporation's intent to refinance these short-term borrowings and current
maturities of long-term debt on a long-term basis through the issuance of
additional commercial paper or new long-term financings, or by using the
currently available long-term credit facility if alternative financing is not
available.

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES - Union Pacific Capital Trust (the Trust), a
statutory business trust sponsored and wholly owned by the Corporation, issued
$1.5 billion aggregate liquidation amount of 6.25% Convertible Preferred
Securities (the CPS) in April 1998. Each of the CPS has a stated liquidation
amount of $50 and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of
UPC's common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the Common Stock), at the rate of
0.7257 shares of Common Stock for each of the CPS, equivalent to a conversion
price of $68.90 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances. The CPS accrues and pays cash distributions quarterly in arrears
at the annual rate of 6.25% of the stated liquidation amount. The Corporation
owns all of the common securities of the Trust. The proceeds from the sale of
the CPS and the common securities of the Trust were invested by the Trust in
$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of the Corporation's 6.25% Convertible
Junior Subordinated Debentures due April 1, 2028 (the Debentures). The
Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. The principal amount of the
Debentures held by the Trust at December 31, 2002, was $1.5 billion.
The Debentures accrue and pay interest quarterly in arrears at the annual
rate of 6.25%. The Debentures mature on April 1, 2028, unless previously
redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the indenture (the
Indenture). The proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures were used by the
Corporation for repayment of corporate borrowings.
The Corporation has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and
other payments due on the CPS (the Guarantee). Considered together, the
Corporation's obligations under the Debentures, the Indenture, the Guarantee and
the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the Trust provide a full
and unconditional guarantee by the Corporation of the Trust's obligations under
the CPS.
For financial reporting purposes, the Corporation has recorded distributions
payable on the CPS as an interest charge to earnings in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT FINANCINGS - During January
2002, under an existing shelf registration statement, the Corporation issued
$300 million of 6-1/8% fixed rate debt with a maturity of January 15, 2012. The
proceeds from the issuance were used for repayment of debt and other general
corporate purposes. In April 2002, the Corporation called its $150 million,
8-5/8% debentures due May 15, 2022 for redemption in May 2002. The Corporation
issued $350 million of 6-1/2% fixed rate debt with a maturity of April 15, 2012,
in order to fund the redemption. The Corporation used the remaining proceeds to
repay other debt and for other general corporate purposes. On May 17, 2002, the
Corporation issued the remaining $50 million of debt under the existing shelf
registration statement. The debt carries a fixed rate of 5-3/4% with a maturity
of October 15, 2007. The proceeds from the issuance were used for repayment of
debt and other general corporate purposes.
The Corporation filed a $1.0 billion shelf registration statement, which
became effective in July 2002. Under the shelf registration statement, the
Corporation may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt securities,
preferred stock, common stock or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock
in one or more offerings. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had $1.0 billion
remaining for issuance under the shelf registration. The Corporation has no
immediate plans to issue equity securities.
During June 2002, UPRR entered into a capital lease covering new locomotives.
The related capital lease obligation totaled approximately $126 million and is
included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as debt.
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS - The Corporation is subject to certain restrictions
related to the payment of cash dividends. The amount of retained earnings
available for dividends under the most restrictive test was $5.2 billion and
$4.1 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the fourth quarter
of 2002, the Board of Directors voted to increase the quarterly dividend by 15%
to 23 cents per share. The Corporation declared dividends of $210 million in
2002 and $199 million in 2001.

rentals and sub-rentals are not significant.
7. RETIREMENT PLANS
THRIFT PLAN - The Corporation provides a defined contribution plan (thrift plan)
to eligible non-union employees. The Corporation's contributions into the thrift
plan are based on 50% of the participant's contribution, limited to 3% of the
participant's base salary. Corporation thrift plan contributions were $21
million, $21 million and $20 million for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001, and 2000, respectively.
RAILROAD RETIREMENT SYSTEM - All Railroad employees are covered by the Railroad
Retirement System (the System). On December 21, 2001, The Railroad Retirement
and Survivors' Improvement Act of 2001 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act
was a result of historic cooperation between rail management and labor, and
provides improved railroad retirement benefits for employees and reduced payroll
taxes for employers. Contributions made to the System are expensed as incurred
and amounted to approximately $595 million in 2002, $607 million in 2001 and
$611 million in 2000.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - All non-union and certain of the Corporation's
union employees participate in defined contribution medical and life insurance
programs for retirees. The Corporation also provides medical and life insurance
benefits on a cost sharing basis for qualifying employees. These costs are
funded as incurred.
PENSION PLANS - The Corporation provides defined benefit retirement income to
eligible non-union employees through qualified and non-qualified (supplemental)
pension plans. Qualified and non-qualified pension benefits are based on years
of service and the highest compensation during the latest years of employment.
The qualified plans are funded based on the Projected Unit Credit actuarial
funding method and are funded at not less than the minimum funding standards set
forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and not
more than the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes. The Corporation has
settled a portion of the non-qualified unfunded supplemental plan's accumulated
benefit obligation by purchasing annuities.

</Table>
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, $53 million and $37 million, respectively, of
the total pension and other postretirement liability were classified as a
current liability.
The Corporation decreased its assumed long-term rate of return on pension
plan assets, during 2002, from 10% to 9%. This assumption change resulted in an
increase to 2002 pension expense of $22 million.
During 2002, actual asset returns for the Corporation's pension plans were
adversely impacted by continued deterioration in the equity markets. Actual
return on pension plan assets was approximately negative 10% in 2002. During the
same time, corporate bond yields, which are used in determining the discount
rate for future pension obligations, continued to decline. As a result of
negative asset returns and lower discount rates, the Corporation was required to
recognize an additional
53
<PAGE>
minimum pension liability. The liability was recorded as a $225 million
after-tax reduction to common shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). The equity reduction would be restored to the
balance sheet in future periods when the fair value of plan assets exceeds the
accumulated benefit obligations. Recognition of this reduction to equity does
not affect net income or cash flow in 2002 and has no impact on compliance with
debt covenants.
While the interest rate and asset return environment has significantly
impacted the funded status of the Corporation's plans, the Corporation does not
currently have minimum funding requirements, as set forth in employee benefit
and tax laws. Even though no minimum funding is required, the Corporation
voluntarily contributed $100 million to its Union Pacific pension plan, and $125
million to OTC's pension plan during 2002.
Amounts recognized for the benefit plan liabilities in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position for December 31, 2002 and 2001 consisted of:

8. STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK PLANS
The Corporation has no options outstanding under the 1988 Stock Option and
Restricted Stock Plan of Union Pacific Corporation (1988 Plan) and 11,146,185
options outstanding under the 1993 Stock Option and Retention Stock Plan of
Union Pacific Corporation (1993 Plan). There are 1,585,709 retention shares and
stock units (the right to receive shares of common stock) outstanding under the
1993 Plan. There are 10,710 restricted shares outstanding under the 1992
Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Union Pacific Corporation
(1992 Directors Plan). The Corporation no longer grants options or awards of
restricted stock under the 1988 Plan, the 1993 Plan or the 1992 Directors Plan.
The UP Shares Stock Option Plan of Union Pacific Corporation (UP Shares Plan)
was approved by UPC's Board of Directors on April 30, 1998. The UP Shares Plan
reserved 12,000,000 shares of UPC common stock for issuance. The UP Shares Plan
was a broad-based option program that granted eligible active employees on April
30, 1998 an option to purchase 200 shares of UPC common stock at $55.00 per
share. All options granted were non-qualified options that became exercisable on
May 1, 2001 and remain exercisable until April 30, 2008. If an optionee's
employment terminates for any reason, the option remains exercisable for a
period of one year after the date of termination, but no option is exercisable
after April 30, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the UP Shares Plan, no options
may be granted after April 30, 1998. As of December 31, 2002, there were
8,042,120 options outstanding under the UP Shares Plan.
The Corporation adopted the Executive Stock Purchase Incentive Plan (ESPIP)
effective October 1, 1999, in order to encourage and facilitate ownership of UPC
common stock by officers and other key executives of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. Under the ESPIP, participants purchased a total of 1,008,000
shares of UPC common stock with the proceeds of 6.02% interest-bearing, full
recourse loans from the Corporation. Loans totaled $47 million and have a final
maturity date of January 31, 2006. Deferred cash payments were to be awarded to
the participants to repay interest and the loan principal if certain performance
and retention criteria were met within a 40-month period ending January 31,
2003. Dividends paid on the purchased shares were originally assigned to the
Corporation to offset the accrued interest on the loan balance until March 2001
when the first performance criterion was satisfied and, accordingly thereafter,
the dividends on the purchased shares were paid directly to the participants.
Satisfaction of the first performance criterion also entitled participants to
receive a cash payment equal to the net accrued interest on the outstanding
principal balance of the loan. Satisfaction of the second performance criterion,
in December 2002, entitled participants to receive a cash payment equal to
one-third of the outstanding principal balance of their loan, and satisfaction
of the retention criterion of continued employment with the Corporation until
January 31, 2003, entitled participants to receive an additional cash payment
equal to one-third of the outstanding principal balance of their loan. Such
payments shall be applied against the participants' outstanding loan balance
pursuant to the terms of the ESPIP. The remaining balance of the loan is payable
in three equal installments on January 31, 2004, January 31, 2005 and January
31, 2006.
In April 2000, the shareholders approved the Union Pacific Corporation 2000
Directors Plan (Directors Plan) whereby 550,000 shares of UPC common stock were
reserved for issuance to non-employee directors of the Corporation. Under the
Directors Plan, each non-employee director, upon his or her initial election to
the Board of Directors, receives a grant of 1,000 shares of restricted shares or
restricted stock units. Additionally, each non-employee director receives
annually an option to purchase a number of shares of UPC common stock, not to
exceed 5,000 shares during any calendar year, determined by dividing 60,000 by
1/3 of the fair market value of one share of UPC common stock on the date of
such Board of Directors meeting, with the resulting quotient rounded up or down
to the nearest 50 shares. As of December 31, 2002, there were 3,000 restricted
shares outstanding under the Directors Plan and there were 72,050 options
outstanding under the Directors Plan.
In November 2000, the Corporation approved the 2001 Long Term Plan (LTP).
Participants were awarded retention shares or stock units and cash awards
subject to the attainment of certain performance targets and continued
employment
55
<PAGE>
through January 31, 2004. The LTP performance criteria include three year (for
fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003) cumulative earnings per share and stock price
targets.
The Union Pacific Corporation 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (2001 Plan) was
approved by the shareholders in April 2001. The 2001 Plan reserved 12,000,000
shares of UPC common stock for issuance to eligible employees of the Corporation
in the form of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, retention shares,
stock units and incentive bonus awards. Awards and options under the 2001 Plan
may be granted to employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Non-employee directors are not eligible. As of December 31, 2002, there were
854,931 retention shares and stock units outstanding under the 2001 Plan, and
there were 2,074,950 options outstanding under the 2001 Plan.
Pursuant to the above plans, 9,544,569, 12,461,025, and 6,089,561 shares of
UPC common stock were available for grant at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
OPTIONS - Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Corporation's common stock as of the date of the grant.
Options are granted with a 10-year term and are generally exercisable one to two
years after the date of the grant. A summary of the stock options issued under
the 1988 Plan, the 1993 Plan, the UP Shares Plan, the Directors Plan and the
2001 Plan, and changes during the years ending December 31 are as follows:

</Table>
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average
assumptions for options granted in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively: risk-free
interest rates of 4.4%, 4.3% and 5.1%; dividend yield of 1.3%, 1.4% and 1.6%;
expected lives of 5 years, 4 years and 4 years; and volatility of 28.8%, 29.5%
and 31.4%.
RESTRICTED STOCK AND OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS - The Corporation's plans provide for
awarding retention shares of common stock or stock units to eligible employees.
These awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates during the
prescribed retention period, generally three or four years, or, in some cases,
if a certain prescribed stock price or other financial criteria is not met.
Restricted stock awards are issued to non-employee directors and are subject to
forfeiture if certain service requirements are not met. During the year ended
December 31, 2002, 804,956 retention shares, stock units, and restricted shares
were issued at a weighted-average fair value of $58.21. During 2001, 387,540
retention shares, stock units, and restricted shares were issued at a
weighted-average fair value of $49.95. During 2000, 283,059 retention shares,
56
<PAGE>
stock units, and restricted shares were issued at a weighted-average fair value
of $41.21. The cost of retention and restricted awards is amortized to expense
over the retention period.
Under the LTP, 11,900 performance retention stock units and 1,019,500
performance retention shares and stock units were issued at a weighted-average
fair value of $60.97 and $50.07 during 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cost of
the LTP is expensed over the performance period which ends January 31, 2004.
The cost associated with the ESPIP retention criterion is amortized to
expense over the 40-month period. The cost associated with the ESPIP first
performance criterion is expensed over the life of the loan, and the cost
associated with the second performance criterion was expensed in December 2002.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, UPC expensed $50
million, $18 million and $18 million, respectively, related to the other
incentive plans described above.
9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table provides a reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings
per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000:

</Table>
Common stock options totaling 2.3 million, 12.8 million and 21.5 million
shares for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively were excluded from the computation
of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of these options exceeded the average
market price of the Corporation's common stock for the respective periods, and
the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
UNASSERTED CLAIMS - There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries. It is not possible at this time for
the Corporation to determine fully the effect of all unasserted claims on its
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however,
to the extent possible, where unasserted claims can be estimated and where such
claims are considered probable, the Corporation has recorded a liability. The
Corporation does not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental
costs, commitments, contingent liabilities or guarantees will have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
PERSONAL INJURY AND OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS - The cost of injuries to employees and
others related to Railroad activities or in accidents involving the trucking
segment is charged to expense based on actuarial estimates of the ultimate cost
and number of incidents each year. During 2002, the Railroad's reported number
of work-related injuries that resulted in lost job time decreased 5% compared to
the number of injuries reported during 2001, and accidents at grade crossings
decreased 16% compared to 2001. Annual expenses for the Corporation's personal
injury-related events were $259 million in 2002, $227 million in 2001 and $226
million in 2000. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had a
liability of $724 million and $743 million, respectively, accrued for future
personal injury costs, of which $304 million and $295 million were recorded in
current liabilities as accrued casualty costs. The Railroad has additional
amounts accrued for claims related to certain occupational illnesses.
Compensation for Railroad work-related accidents is governed by the Federal
Employers' Liability Act (FELA). Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a
finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements. The Railroad
offers a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for
employees who are injured at work.
57
<PAGE>
ENVIRONMENTAL - The Corporation generates and transports hazardous and
non-hazardous waste in its current and former operations, and is subject to
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Corporation has
identified approximately 433 sites at which it is or may be liable for
remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of
environmental requirements. This includes 52 sites that are the subject of
actions taken by the U.S. government, 27 of which are currently on the Superfund
National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several
liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, the
Corporation's ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to
activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to its own activities
at each site.
When an environmental issue has been identified with respect to the property
owned, leased or otherwise used in the conduct of the Corporation's business,
the Corporation and its consultants perform environmental assessments on such
property. The Corporation expenses the cost of the assessments as incurred. The
Corporation accrues the cost of remediation where its obligation is probable and
such costs can be reasonably estimated.
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation had a liability of $189
million and $172 million, respectively, accrued for future environmental costs,
of which $72 million and $71 million were recorded in current liabilities as
accrued casualty costs. The liability includes future costs for remediation and
restoration of sites, as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any
anticipated recoveries from third parties. Cost estimates are based on
information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially
responsible parties, and existing technology, laws and regulations. The
Corporation believes that it has adequately accrued for its ultimate share of
costs at sites subject to joint and several liability. However, the ultimate
liability for remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of
potentially responsible parties involved, site-specific cost sharing
arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, the degree of
contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data
related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative nature of remediation
costs. The Corporation expects to pay out the majority of the December 31, 2002,
environmental liability over the next five years, funded by cash generated from
operations. The impact of current obligations is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the
Corporation.
PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS AND GUARANTEES - The Corporation and its subsidiaries
periodically enter into financial and other commitments in connection with their
businesses. The Corporation does not expect that these commitments or guarantees
will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.
At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had unconditional purchase obligations
of $404 million for the purchase of locomotives as part of the Corporation's
multi-year capital asset acquisition plan. In addition, the Corporation was
contingently liable for $368 million in guarantees and $76 million in letters of
credit at December 31, 2002. These contingent guarantees were entered into in
the normal course of business and include guaranteed obligations of affiliated
operations. None of the guarantees individually are significant, and no
liability related to these guarantees exists as of December 31, 2002. The final
guarantee expires in 2022. The Corporation is not aware of any existing event of
default, which would require it to satisfy these guarantees.
OTHER - In December 2001, the Railroad entered into a synthetic operating lease
arrangement to finance a new headquarters building which will be constructed in
Omaha, Nebraska. The expected completion date of the building is mid-2004. It
will total approximately 1.1 million square feet with approximately 3,800 office
workspaces. The cost to construct the new headquarters, including capitalized
interest, is approximately $260 million. The Corporation has guaranteed all of
the Railroad's obligation under this lease.
UPRR is the construction agent for the lessor during the construction period.
The Railroad has guaranteed, in the event of a loss caused by or resulting from
its actions or failures to act as construction agent, 89.9% of the building
related construction costs incurred up to that point during the construction
period. Total building related costs incurred and drawn from the lease funding
commitments as of December 31, 2002, were approximately $50 million.
Accordingly, the Railroad's guarantee at December 31, 2002, was approximately
$45 million. As construction continues and additional costs are incurred, this
guarantee will increase accordingly.
After construction is complete, UPRR will lease the building under an initial
term of five years with provisions for renewal for an extended period subject to
agreement between the Railroad and lessor. At any time during the lease, the
Railroad may, at its option, purchase the building at approximately the amount
expended by the lessor to construct the building. If the Railroad elects not to
purchase the building or renew the lease, the building is returned to the lessor
for remarketing, and the Railroad has guaranteed a residual value equal to 85%
of the total construction related costs. The guarantee will be approximately
$220 million.

</Table>
Included in the 2002 gain on non-operating asset dispositions is a pre-tax
gain of $141 million related to the sale of land, track, operating rights and
facilities to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) for $185 million, which included
approximately 175 miles of track that stretches from Brigham City, Utah, through
Salt Lake City, Utah, south to Payson, Utah. The transaction contributed $88
million to the Corporation's earnings on an after-tax basis. An additional $16
million of the pre-tax gain has been deferred pending successful completion of
arrangements for the relocation of various existing facilities.
Also included in the 2002 gain on non-operating asset dispositions is a
pre-tax gain of $73 million related to the sale of land and track to the Santa
Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) for $80 million, which included
approximately 15 miles of track that stretches from William Street in San Jose,
California, north to Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont, California. The transaction
contributed $45 million to the Corporation's earnings on an after-tax basis.
12. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" (FAS 143). FAS 143 is effective for the Corporation
beginning January 1, 2003. FAS 143 requires that the Corporation record a
liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation when the
Corporation has a legal obligation to remove the asset. The standard will affect
the way the Corporation accounts for track structure removal costs, but will
have no impact on liquidity. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact
of this statement on the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements. Any
impact resulting from the adoption of this statement will be recorded as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of
2003.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS 146). FAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized
at fair value when the liability is incurred and is effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management
believes that FAS 146 will not have a material impact on the Corporation's
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 is effective for guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements were effective for
the year ending December 31, 2002, which expand the disclosures required by a
guarantor about its obligations under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires the
Corporation to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in the issuance of the guarantee.
Management does not believe that FIN 45 will have a material impact on the
Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (FAS 148). FAS 148
provides alternative methods of transition for voluntary changes to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, and
amends the disclosure requirements including a requirement for interim
disclosures. The Corporation currently discloses the effects of stock-based
employee compensation and does not intend to voluntarily change to the
alternative accounting principle.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity
to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the
risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to
receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN 46 also
requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not
required to consolidate but in which it has a
59
<PAGE>
significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply
immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements apply to existing entities in the first fiscal year
or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure
requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003,
regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. As described in
note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8, the Railroad has a
synthetic operating lease arrangement to finance a new headquarters building,
which falls within the guidance of FIN 46. In accordance with FIN 46, the
Railroad will either consolidate, restructure or refinance the synthetic lease
prior to July 1, 2003. The Corporation does not expect FIN 46 to have any impact
on the treatment of the Sale of Receivables program as described in note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
13. 2000 WORK FORCE REDUCTION PLAN
The Corporation's Board of Directors approved a work force reduction plan (the
Plan) in the fourth quarter of 2000. The Plan called for the elimination of
approximately 2,000 Railroad positions during 2001. The Corporation accrued $115
million pre-tax or $72 million after-tax in the fourth quarter of 2000 for costs
related to the Plan. The expense was charged to salaries, wages and employee
benefits in the Corporation's 2000 Consolidated Statements of Income. Plan
liability activity in 2001 included $49 million paid in cash or reclassified to
contractual liabilities for severance benefits to 571 employees; $60 million of
subsidized early retirement benefits covering 480 employees; with the remaining
$6 million charged back against salaries, wages and employee benefits in the
Corporation's Consolidated Statements of Income. In December 2001, the Plan was
completed with positions eliminated through a combination of subsidized early
retirements, involuntary layoffs and attrition.

[1] The UP Shares Stock Option Plan of UPC (UP Shares Plan), the Overnite
Transportation Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan (OTC ESPP) and the
Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Motor Cargo
ESPP) are the only equity compensation plans of UPC not approved by
shareholders. The UP Shares Plan was approved by UPC's Board of Directors
on April 30, 1998. The UP Shares Plan reserved 12,000,000 shares of UPC's
common stock for issuance. The UP Shares Plan was a broad-based option
program that granted each eligible, active employee on April 30, 1998 an
option to purchase 200 shares of UPC common stock at $55.00 per share. All
options granted were non-qualified options that became exercisable on May
1, 2001 and remain exercisable until April 30, 2008. If an optionee's
employment terminates for any reason, the option remains exercisable for a
period of one year after the date of termination, but no option is
exercisable after April 30, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the UP Shares
Plan, no options may be granted after April 30, 1998.
[2] The OTC ESPP was approved by UPC's Board of Directors on November 19, 1987
and the Motor Cargo ESPP was approved by UPC's Board on November 21, 2002.
Both ESPPs are intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan
under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
OTC ESPP initially reserved 1,000,000 shares for issuance and on November
21, 1991 UPC's Board increased the number of shares available for issuance
to 2,000,000. There are 300,000 shares of UPC's common stock reserved for
future issuance under the Motor Cargo ESPP. All employees of OTC and Motor
Cargo are eligible to participate in their respective ESPP. Under the
ESPPs, eligible employees are permitted to purchase shares of UPC common
stock through payroll deductions. Each employee may subscribe annually to
purchase up to 200 shares of UPC common stock, subject to maximum purchase
limitations. The purchase price for the common stock purchased under the
ESPPs is the lesser of 95% of the closing price of the common stock on the
date that is seven business days prior to the first day of the applicable
offering period (but not less than 85% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the last day of the applicable offering period) or 95% of
the closing price of the common stock on the last day of the applicable
purchase period (but not less than 85% of the fair market value of the
common stock on such date).
[3] Of these shares, there are currently 1,119,697 shares of UPC's common
stock remaining for future issuance under the OTC ESPP and there are
300,000 shares of UPC's common stock reserved for future issuance under
the Motor Cargo ESPP.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Information on related transactions is set forth in the Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation segments of the Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by
reference. The Corporation does not have any relationship with any outside third
party which would enable such a party to negotiate terms of a material
transaction that may not be available to, or available from, other parties on an
arm's-length basis.
ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Corporation carried out an

Corporation's management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Executive Vice President - Finance (EVP - Finance), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that
evaluation, the CEO and the EVP - Finance concluded that the Corporation's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them, in a timely
manner, to material information relating to the Corporation (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Corporation's periodic
SEC filings.
Additionally, the CEO and EVP - Finance determined that there were no
significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect the Corporation's internal controls subsequent
to the date of their most recent evaluation.

ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS
SECTION 1. Annual meetings of the stockholders of this Company shall be
held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Special meetings of the stockholders of this
Company may be held at such place or places as shall be ordered by the Board of
Directors or Executive Committee, but, unless otherwise ordered, such meetings
shall be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
SECTION 2. Annual meetings of the stockholders, for the purpose of
electing directors and transacting any other business, shall be held at such
time as shall be ordered by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, but,
unless otherwise ordered, shall be held at 8:30 a.m. on the third Friday of
April in each year.
SECTION 3. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called by the
Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, or by any other person who, at such
time, is authorized by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Act") to
call a special meeting of stockholders. A request by a stockholder for a special
meeting must be accompanied by a statement of purposes which includes at least
the information set out in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10(e) of Article
I of these By-Laws. The objects of a special meeting shall be stated in the
order therefor, and the business transacted shall be confined to such objects.
SECTION 4. Notice of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given,
either personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days prior
thereto. The notice of all special meetings shall state the objects thereof. The
failure to give notice of an annual meeting, or any irregularity in the notice,
shall not affect the validity of such annual meeting or of any proceedings
thereat. Any stockholder may consent in writing to the holding of a special
meeting without notice. A stockholder's attendance at a meeting: (i) waives
objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the
stockholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or
transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or defective
notice; and (ii) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the
meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting
notice, unless the stockholder objects to considering the matter when it is
presented.

SECTION 5. The Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may fix in
advance a day and hour not more than seventy days preceding any annual or
special meeting of stockholders or action of stockholders as the time for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or to take such
action. Stockholders of record at the time so fixed by the Board of Directors or
the Executive Committee and only such stockholders shall be entitled to vote at
such meeting. Each share of stock shall entitle such record holder thereof to
one vote, in person or by proxy in writing.
SECTION 6. The Chairman of the Board, and in his absence the Chief
Executive Officer, and in their absence the President, and in their absence one
of the Vice Presidents, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order and act
as chairman of such meetings. In the absence of all these officers, the Board of
Directors may appoint a chairman of the meeting to act in such event; but if the
Board shall not make such appointment, then, in the absence of all of these
officers, any stockholder or proxy of any stockholder may call the meeting to
order, and a chairman shall be elected.
SECTION 7. The Secretary of the Company shall act as secretary at all
meetings of the stockholders; but the Board of Directors or Executive Committee
may designate an Assistant Secretary for that purpose before the meeting, and if
no such designation shall have been made, then the presiding officer at the
meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
SECTION 8. At each meeting of the stockholders the polls shall be opened
and closed and the ballots and proxies shall be received and taken charge of by
two inspectors. Such inspectors shall be appointed before the meeting by the
Board of Directors or by the Executive Committee, and if no such appointment
shall have been made, then by the presiding officer at the meeting; and if for
any reason any of the inspectors previously appointed shall fail to attend, or
refuse or be unable to serve, then inspectors, in place of any so failing to
attend or refusing or unable to serve, shall be appointed by the presiding
officer at the meeting. Such inspectors need not be stockholders.
SECTION 9. Stockholders may take action on a matter at a meeting only if
a quorum exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles of
incorporation or the Act provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast on the matter, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum
for action on that matter. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or
represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to
adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at
the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. Once a share is
represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum
purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that
meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by
stockholders is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes
cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the Act
require a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors are elected by a
-3-
<PAGE>
plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a
meeting at which a quorum is present.
SECTION 10. (a) At any annual meeting of stockholders, only such

obligations of the Participant under the Purchase Note shall be
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by
any change in the existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding
affecting the Company or its assets or the market value of the Common

Company or the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
the Participant may have at any time against the Company or any other
person, whether in connection with the Plan or with any unrelated
transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion
of any such claim by separate suit or counterclaim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the Company
shall not be required to make any Purchase Loan to a Participant if the
making of such Purchase Loan will (i) cause the Company to violate any
covenant or similar provision in any indenture, loan agreement or other
agreement, or (ii) violate any applicable federal, state or local law,
provided, that the failure to make such Purchase Loan shall be deemed
to revoke the exercise of the related Purchase Award unless otherwise
specified by the Participant or if the Company is not satisfied with
the creditworthiness of the Participant.
(b) Interest. Interest on the principal balance of the Purchase Loan shall
accrue annually, in arrears, at the Interest Rate.
(c) Term. The term of the Purchase Loan for any Participant shall begin on
such Participant's Purchase Date and, subject to prepayment as provided
in Sections 7(d) and 7(e), have a final maturity date of January 31,
2006. The Remaining Balance of the Purchase Loan shall be payable in
three equal annual installments on January 31, 2004, January 31, 2005

Dividends, if Criterion #1 was not achieved during the Performance
Period) on the unpaid Remaining Balance payable annually, in arrears,
on each such January 31.
(d) Prepayments Not Related to Termination of Service.
(i) Dividends. To the extent the Participant is entitled to
regular cash dividends on Common Stock purchased under the
Plan, until the earlier of the achievement of
5
<PAGE>
Performance Criterion #1 or payment in full of the Purchase
Loan (including accrued and unpaid interest), such dividends
shall be delivered by the Company's stock transfer agent to
the Company to offset (wholly or partially) the accrued
interest on the Purchase Loan, pursuant to an irrevocable
written direction given by the Participant. Upon and after the
achievement of Performance Criterion #1, all such dividends
shall be paid directly to the Participant. If, prior to the
achievement of Performance Criterion #1, the Participant is
entitled to regular cash dividends which exceed the accrued
interest on the Purchase Loan, such excess shall be paid
directly to the Participant.
(ii) Cash Payments with respect to Combination Deferred Award. In
the event a Participant (or the estate of a deceased
Participant) receives any cash payments with respect to the
Participant's Deferred Performance Awards or Deferred Service
Incentive Award or any cash payments made by the Company under
Section 8(h)(i) after the earlier of (i) Termination of
Service due to death or (ii) the end of the Performance
Period, the Participant (or the Participant's estate) shall
immediately (partially or wholly) prepay the principal balance
of the Purchase Loan (or the accrued and unpaid interest
thereon in the case of a cash payment with respect to Deferred
Performance Award #1), to the extent, if any, that such
principal balance (or such interest in the case of a cash
payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award #1) remains
unpaid at such time, with an amount equal to the full amount
of all such cash payments upon receipt thereof.
(iii) Optional Prepayments. Any Participant (or the estate of a
deceased Participant) may prepay all of the Purchase Loan
(including accrued and unpaid interest) at any time, but
partial prepayments shall not be permitted.
(e) Prepayment Obligations Related to Termination of Service. In the event
of a Participant's Termination of Service because of death, any
outstanding balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) of the
Purchase Loan shall be due and payable in full six months from the date
of the Participant's death. In the event of a Participant's Termination
of Service for any reason other than death, any outstanding balance
(including accrued and unpaid interest) of the Purchase Loan shall be
due and payable in full on the later of (i) the 90th day following such
Termination of Service or (ii) the 90th day following the first date on
which the Participant may sell the Common Stock purchased under the
Plan without incurring liability under the federal securities laws,
including Section 16 of the 1934 Act (limited, in the case of Section
16, to liability relating to purchases or sale of Common Stock or any
derivative security occurring prior to the Termination of Service). If
(i) a Participant's Termination of Service is due to death during the
Performance Period or an involuntary Termination of Service without
Cause during the Performance Period, (ii) on the date the outstanding
balance of the Purchase Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to this
Section 7(e), the aggregate Market Price of the Shares acquired under
the Participant's Purchase Award is less than the sum of (x) the
outstanding balance of the Purchase Loan (including accrued and unpaid
interest) on such date, as reduced by any prepayment made pursuant to
Section 7(d), and (y) the income and employment tax liability resulting
from any cash payments with respect to the Combination Deferred Award,
and (iii) if all Shares so acquired are still held by the Participant
(or the Participant's estate), then, on such date (if so requested by
the Participant or the Participant's estate) the Company shall accept
from the Participant (or the Participant's estate) the surrender of all
Shares so acquired by the Participant in full

requirement under Section 16 of the 1934 Act may surrender Shares
acquired under a Purchase Award to the Company to satisfy such tax
withholding obligations or to repay the outstanding principal balance
of the Purchase Loan in accordance with Section 7(d)(iii) at times so

Period, but accrued interest on the Purchase Loan is payable on January

Purchase Award except as provided in Section 8(a) or (ii) makes an
optional prepayment on the Purchase Loan described in Section
7(d)(iii). A transfer of a Participant's Shares to a revocable trust as
to which the Participant retains voting and investment power (which
powers of revocation, voting and investment may be shared with the
Participant's spouse) or a transfer to joint ownership with such
Participant's spouse shall not be deemed a sale for purposes of this
Section 8(f) and, solely for the purposes of this Plan, such Shares
shall be deemed to be owned by the Participant.
(g) Application of Payments Made Pursuant to Section 8. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 8, an amount equal to the full amount
of any payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section8 with
respect to a Deferred Performance Award and/or Deferred Service

Purchase Loan (or the accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the case
of a cash payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award #1), to
the extent, if any, that such principal balance (or such interest in
the case of a cash payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award

occurrence of a Change in Control and prior to February 1, 2003, a
Participant's employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company
(other than for Cause, as defined in the Continuity Plan) or a
Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason (as

respect to (i) the Deferred Service Incentive Award calculated

Subsidiary which so employed the Participant shall reimburse the
Company for such payment.
(b) In the event that the Special Criterion is achieved, each Participant
then holding a Special Deferred Award shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Company on the Designated Payment Date for the
federal income tax payable on the amounts paid with respect to a
Combination Deferred Award pursuant to Section 8, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Section 9. Such reimbursement shall be
computed using the maximum marginal rate for ordinary taxable income in
effect on the Designated Payment Date. The reimbursement for federal
income tax under this Section 9 shall not itself be grossed up for any
federal income tax payable as a result of this reimbursement.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, a Participant's
Special Deferred Award shall be immediately forfeited if the
Participant, during the Performance Period, either (i) sells any Shares
acquired under a Purchase Award except as provided in Section 8(a) or
(ii) makes an optional prepayment on the Purchase Loan described in
Section 7(d)(iii). A transfer of a Participant's Shares to a revocable
trust as to which the Participant retains voting and investment power
(which powers of revocation, voting and investment may be shared with
the Participant's spouse) or a transfer to joint ownership with such
Participant's spouse shall not be deemed a sale for purposes of this
Section 9 (c) and, solely for the purposes of this Plan, such Shares
shall be deemed to be owned by the Participant.
9
<PAGE>
(d) Termination of Service.
Upon a Participant's Termination of Service during the Performance
Period for any reason except death, the Participant shall forfeit the
Special Deferred Award. Upon a Participant's Termination of Service
during the Performance Period due to death, unless the Participant
shall have previously forfeited the Special Deferred Award pursuant to
Section 9(c), the Participant's estate shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Company an amount calculated in accordance with
Section 9(b) if the related Special Criterion has been achieved before
the Participant's death. On the Designated Payment Date, the Company
shall reimburse the deceased Participant's estate the amount provided
in this Section 9 with regard to the Special Deferred Award described
in the immediately preceding sentence.
10. PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. If at any time no Committee
shall be in office, the functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall
be exercised by the "disinterested directors" on the Board (as defined in Rule
16b-3(c)(2) under the 1934 Act). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall interpret the Plan and make such rules as it deems necessary for
the proper administration of the Plan, shall make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and shall correct any
defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the
manner and to the extent that the Committee deems desirable to carry the Plan
into effect. Among other things, the Committee shall have the authority, subject
to the terms of the Plan, to determine (i) the individuals to whom the Purchase
Awards are granted, (ii) the time or times the Purchase Awards are granted,
(iii) the Purchase Dates for such Purchase Awards, (iv) the basis for any
Termination of Service, including whether or not it was for Cause or otherwise,
(v) the forms, terms and provisions of any documents under the Plan, including
amending or modifying the terms of the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, in
the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or
exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or any other change in the
corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee may make such
adjustments as it deems appropriate in the Performance Criteria and other terms
of the Plan. Any action taken or determination made by the Committee pursuant to
this paragraph and the other paragraphs of the Plan in which the Committee is
given discretion shall be final and conclusive on all parties. The act or
determination of a majority of the Committee shall be deemed to be the act or
determination of the entire Committee. The Committee may consult with counsel,
who may be counsel to the Company, and such other advisors as the Committee may
deem necessary and/or desirable, and the members of the Committee shall not
incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the
advice of counsel or any other advisor.
11. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN
The Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee, may amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of this Section 11. No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of a
Participant, adversely affect such Participant's rights under the Plan in any
material respect.
12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(a) Unsecured Status of Claim. Participants and their beneficiaries, heirs,
successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights,
interests or claims in any specific property or assets of
10
<PAGE>
the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held under any trust for
the benefit of Participants, their beneficiaries, heirs, successors or
assigns, or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfillment
of the Company's obligations under the Plan.
Any and all of the Company's assets shall be, and shall remain, the
general unpledged and unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company's
obligations under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise of the Company to pay employee compensation benefits
in the future.
(b) Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action
taken in the administration of the Plan shall be construed as a
contract of employment or as giving a Participant any right to be
retained in the Service of the Company.
(c) Nonassignability. No person shall have any right to commute, sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber,
hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the deferred cash
incentive, if any, payable under the Plan, or any part thereof, or any
interest therein, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly
declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No portion of the
amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure,
attachment, lien or sequestration for the payment of any debts,
judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any
other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of
the Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency. Any
such transfer or attempted transfer in violation of the preceding
provisions shall be considered null and void. In addition, no
derivative security (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c), as promulgated by the
Commission under the 1934 Act, or any successor definition adopted by
the Commission) issued under the Plan shall be transferable by a
Participant (to the extent transferable under the Plan) other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order as defined by the Code, or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or the rules
promulgated thereunder.
(d) Separability, Validity. Transactions under this Plan are intended to
qualify under Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act. If any of the terms or
provisions of this Plan conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3,
then such terms and provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the
extent they so conflict with such requirements. In the event that any
provision of the Plan is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any
other provision of the Plan.
(e) Withholding Tax. The Company shall, on its behalf and on behalf of its
Subsidiaries, withhold from all benefits due under the Plan an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding
requirements; provided, however, that each Participant shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to any such
withholding requirements applicable to the payments provided in
Section8 with respect to the Participant's Combination Deferred Award
prior to the making of such payments and any such withholding
requirements applicable to any acceptance by the Company of Shares in
satisfaction of a Participant's Purchase Loan pursuant to Section 7(e)
prior to such acceptance.
(f) Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Utah without regard to the application of the conflicts
of law provisions thereof. The obligation of
11
<PAGE>
the Company with respect to the grant and exercise of Purchase Awards
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such
approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including,
without limitation, the effectiveness of any registration statement
required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock
may be listed.
(g) Inurement of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations under
the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
Company, its successors and assigns, and the Participants and their
beneficiaries.
(h) Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted to
be given under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if delivered personally or mailed first class,
postage prepaid, as follows: (A) if to the Company--at its principal
business address to the attention of the Secretary; (B) if to any
Participant--at the last address of the Participant known to the sender
at the time the notice or other communication is sent.
(i) Exclusion from Pension and other Benefit Plan Computation. By exercise
of a Purchase Award, each Participant shall be deemed to have agreed
that such Purchase Award and any amounts paid with respect to a
Deferred Performance Award or a Deferred Service Incentive Award under
Section 8, as applicable, or with respect to a Special Deferred Award
under Section 9, are special incentive compensation that will not be
taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in
determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or
other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
In addition, the estate and each beneficiary of a deceased Participant
shall be deemed to have agreed that such Purchase Award and any
Deferred Performance Award, Deferred Service Incentive Award or Special
Deferred Award, as applicable, will not affect the amount of any life
insurance coverage, if any, provided by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries on the life of the Participant which is payable to such
estate or beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

EXHIBIT 10(b)
================================================================================
OVERNITE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(As Amended Effective as of November 19, 1998)
================================================================================
<PAGE>
OVERNITE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
I. Purpose
The purpose of the Overnite Transportation Company Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to promote employee ownership in Union Pacific
Corporation ("Union Pacific"), the indirect parent company of Overnite
Transportation Company (the "Company"). The Company has demonstrated by the
results of prior annual offerings to its employees of its own stock, before it
became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Pacific, that it is greatly
beneficial to have as many stockholder employees as possible. The high morale
and goodwill generated by such stock offerings have been deemed major
contributing factors to the operating efficiency and profitability of the
Company. The Company wishes to continue this practice by selling shares of Union
Pacific common stock (the "Stock") to the Company's employees.
II. Administration
The Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board"), whose members are elected by the Company's shareholder(s) and,
indirectly, by Union Pacific. The Board has the authority to make rules and
regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable.
The number of shares which may be issued under the Plan from time to
time is limited to 2,000,000 shares. The Board will determine the aggregate
amount of Stock available for employees' subscriptions in any single year. For
1988, employees may subscribe for an aggregate of up to 150,000 shares of Stock.
The Board may choose, in its discretion, whether or not to make shares of Stock
available for subscription under the Plan in any subsequent year.
<PAGE>
Interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the
Board are final and conclusive. The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan
or terminate the Plan. The Board does not receive any compensation from the
Plan. All requests concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan
Administrator, Chief Financial Officer, Overnite Transportation Company, 1000
Semmes Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23224, telephone number (804) 231-8000.
III. Eligibility
All employees of the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company, on the
Subscription Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
IV. Definitions
A. Subscription Date
The Subscription Date shall be the last date available each year to
subscribe to the Plan, as determined by the Board.
B. Exercise Date
The Exercise Date shall be the last date on which an employee may
cancel his subscription and withdraw from the Plan, as determined by
the Board, provided that the Exercise Date shall not be more than
twelve (12) months after the date on which the Board authorizes the
related sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan.
C. Issue Date
The Issue Date shall be the date each year on which the shares sold
under the Plan are distributed to the subscribers, as determined by the
Board.
D. Stock
The Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
2
<PAGE>
E. Subscription Price
The Subscription Price of the Stock shall be ninety-five percent (95%)
of the closing price of the Stock on the date which is seven (7)
business days prior to the date of the Prospectus, rounded to the
nearest dollar (the "Preliminary Subscription Price"), but not less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the Subscription Date.
F. Exercise Price
The Exercise Price of the Stock shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of
the closing price of the Stock on the Exercise Date, rounded to the
nearest dollar, but not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on such date.
G. Option Price
The Option Price of the Stock shall be the lesser of the Subscription
Price or the Exercise Price.
H. Subsidiary
The term Subsidiary shall mean any corporation in which the Company
owns at least 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock combined.
I. Fair Market Value
The Fair Market Value of the Stock on any particular date shall mean
the average of the high and low trading prices of the Stock on such
date, as reported in The Wall Street Journal listing of consolidated
trading for New York Stock Exchange Issues for such date.
3
<PAGE>
V. General Terms
Each employee may subscribe annually for up to 200 shares but not less
than 5 shares of stock. All subscriptions must be in multiples of 5 shares. If
the Subscription Price is determined to be eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the Subscription Date and this price exceeds the
Preliminary Subscription Price by such dollar amount as determined by the Board,
each employee shall have the right to reduce, in multiples of 5 shares, the
number of shares to which he previously subscribed. The right to purchase such
Stock is nontransferable.
The total number of shares available for the Plan will be determined
annually by the Board. In the event of oversubscription, the Board will prorate
the shares being sold on the basis of the number of shares which continue to be
subscribed to as of the close of the Exercise Date, provided that each
subscriber receives at least five shares.
No employee may subscribe to any Stock if he, and anyone whose Stock is
attributed to him, would, when considered together, thereby owns 5% of more of
the outstanding Stock. No employee may purchase under the Plan or any other
employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), maintained by an parent or subsidiary corporation
of the Company, as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code, more than
$25,000 of Stock in any year.
All shares purchased under the Plan will be sold on the Issue Date
after payment in full of the Option Price. An employee may pay cash with his
subscription for the whole or any portion of the cost of his subscription based
on the Subscription Price or he may use the Payroll Deduction Plan for the whole
cost or any deferred portion thereof. Should the Exercise Price be
4
<PAGE>
lower than the Subscription Price, then the Company will refund all excess funds
paid by the employee.
At any time on or before the Exercise Date, any employee may cancel his
subscription and receive from the Company the funds that he deposited. Except
for a reduction as described above, no partial withdrawal of a subscription will
be permitted.
If any subscriber ceases to be an employee of the Company before the
Exercise Date, except by death or retirement, his subscription will be
automatically cancelled. All funds deposited will be returned. Such cancellation
shall not be affected by any subsequent re-employment. An employee shall not
assign or hypothecate his interest in the Plan.
Upon the death of any subscribing employee, his executor or
administrator may elect to pay the entire unpaid balance of the subscription in
cash before the Exercise Date, in order to continue the employee's subscription
for Stock. If any subscriber retires (normal, early, disability or delayed), and
elects to retain his subscription, he may do so by paying the remaining balance
in cash before the Exercise Date.
VI. How Employee Subscribes
Any employee may subscribe for Stock by returning to the Company, on or
before the Subscription Date, an executed Subscription Agreement supplied by the
Company.
VII. Payroll Deduction Plan
The Payroll Deduction Plan provides for deductions from the employee's
pay at the rate of one-fortieth (1/40) of the whole or deferred portion of the
Subscription Price of the Stock subscribed to for forty (40) successive weeks.
Status reports will be furnished to the employee upon written request.
5
<PAGE>
VIII. Interest
Each month, the Company will credit the employee's account with
interest at the rate of 5-3/4% per annum computed on all funds held under the
Plan. All earned interest will be paid directly to the employee upon
distribution of the Stock or cancellation of the entire subscription.
IX. Stock Dividends or Stock Splits
In the event of a Stock dividend or Stock split with a record date
prior to the Issue Date, an appropriate adjustment will be made in the number of
shares to be delivered under the Plan.
X. Costs
Participants in the Plan shall not pay any brokerage commissions,
service charges or other fees for purchases made under the Plan. All costs of
administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.
