Report of Independent Public Accountants On Financial Statement Schedule
To Kerr-McGee Corporation:
We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated financial statements included in Kerr- McGee Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated February 17, 1995. Our report on the consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to changes in accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions and income taxes in 1992, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole. The Schedule of Valuation Accounts and Reserves is the responsibility of the company's management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
