NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included.  Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year.  These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 , collectively referred to as the “2013 Annual Report”.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, as well as variable interest entities for which DuPont is the primary beneficiary. 

Basis of Presentation
Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation. In February 2013, the company sold its Performance Coatings business (which represented a reportable segment). In accordance with GAAP, the results of Performance Coatings are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to Performance Coatings have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Amounts related to Performance Coatings are consistently included in or excluded from the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements based on the financial statement line item and period of each disclosure. See Note 2 for additional information.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency
Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy under GAAP and the U.S. dollar (USD) is the functional currency for the company's subsidiaries in Venezuela. During the first quarter 2014, the Venezuelan government enacted certain changes to the country’s foreign exchange systems including the expansion of the use of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD 1”) auction rate and introduction of the SICAD 2 auction process. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX, previously CADIVI) at 6.3 Bolivar Fuertes (BsF) to USD. The SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchange rates were 10.60 BsF and 49.98 BsF, respectively, at June 30, 2014 . Based on its evaluation of the restrictions and limitations affecting the availability of specific exchange rate mechanisms, management has concluded that the SICAD 2 auction process would be the most likely mechanism available. As a result, effective June 30, 2014, the company changed from the official exchange rate of 6.3 to the SICAD 2 exchange rate to remeasure its BsF denominated net monetary assets, which resulted in a $58 pre-tax charge within other income, net in the second quarter 2014. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the company expects it will use the SICAD 2 exchange rate to remeasure its Venezuelan BsF denominated revenues, expenses and net monetary assets unless facts and circumstances change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under GAAP and retrospective application is permitted, but not required. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending existing requirements for reporting discontinued operations.  Under the new guidance, discontinued operations reporting will be limited to disposal transactions that represent strategic shifts having a major effect on operations and financial results. The amended guidance also enhances disclosures and requires assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation to be classified as such for all periods presented in the financial statements. Public entities will apply the amended guidance prospectively to all disposals occurring within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. The company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2015. Due to the change in requirements for reporting discontinued operations described above, presentation and disclosures of future disposal transactions after adoption may be different than under current standards.

Note 2. Divestitures and Other Transactions
Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls
In June 2014, the company sold Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls), a part of the Performance Materials segment, to Kuraray Co. Ltd. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $391 ( $273 net of tax). The gain was recorded in other income, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2014.

Performance Chemicals
On October 24, 2013, DuPont announced that it intends to separate its Performance Chemicals segment through a U.S. tax-free spin-off to shareholders, subject to customary closing conditions. The company expects to complete the separation about mid-2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the company incurred $35 and $51 of costs associated with the transaction which were reported in other operating charges in the interim Consolidated Income Statements. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, legal and information system functions.
Performance Coatings
In February 2013, the company sold its Performance Coatings business to Flash Bermuda Co. Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited liability company formed by affiliates of The Carlyle Group (collectively referred to as "Carlyle"). The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,682 ( $1,943 net of tax). The gain was recorded in income from discontinued operations after income taxes in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .

Note 3. Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net
2014 Restructuring Program
In the second quarter 2014, DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment and to improve productivity across all businesses and functions. The restructuring plan is a part of the company's broad-based redesign initiative to streamline and further leverage global business support for its more focused portfolio of businesses post the separation of Performance Chemicals. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 a pre-tax charge of $263 was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. The charge consisted of $166 employee separation costs, $3 of other non-personnel charges and $94 of asset shut down costs. The actions associated with this charge and all related payments are expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2015. The company anticipates that it will incur future charges, which it cannot reasonably estimate at this time, related to this plan as it implements additional actions.

The second quarter 2014 charge impacted segment earnings as follows: Agriculture - $47 , Electronics & Communications - $68 , Industrial Biosciences - $2 , Nutrition & Health - $8 , Performance Chemicals - $19 , Performance Materials - $29 , and Safety & Protection - $31 , Other - $2 , as well as Corporate expenses - $57 .

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for income taxes on continuing operations on the interim Consolidated Income Statements. Exchange gains (losses) related to earnings of affiliates was $0 and $(2) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. Exchange gains (losses) related to earnings of affiliates was $0 and $5 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The $(109) net exchange loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , includes $(58) and $(7) exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and Ukrainian hryvnia , respectively. The $(205) net exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , includes $(58) , $(46) and $(14) exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, Ukrainian hryvnia, and Argentinian peso, respectively. The $35 and $46 net exchange gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , includes a $3 exchange gain and a $(33) exchange loss, respectively, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

 
Miscellaneous income and expenses, net, generally includes interest items, certain insurance recoveries and litigation settlements, and other items.

Note 5.  Income Taxes  
In the second quarter 2014 , the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $366 , including $3 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

Year-to-date 2014 , company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $723 , including $25 of tax benefit, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

In the second quarter 2013 , the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $335 , including $16 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision was $49 of tax expense related to a change in accrual for a prior year tax position and a $33 tax benefit related to an enacted foreign tax law change.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Year-to-date 2013 , the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $722 , including $50 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision were the second quarter 2013 items noted above and a $68 tax benefit derived from the 2013 extension of certain U.S. business tax provisions offset by $26 of tax expense related to the global distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the Performance Coatings business.

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $100 to $125 within the next twelve months with the majority due to the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.

Primarily consists of sales and grower networks, marketing and manufacturing alliances and noncompetition agreements.
 
Microbial cell factories, derived from natural microbes, are used to sustainably produce enzymes, peptides and chemicals using natural metabolic processes. The company recognized the microbial cell factories as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Danisco. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.
 
Pioneer germplasm is the pool of genetic source material and body of knowledge gained from the development and delivery stage of plant breeding. The company recognized germplasm as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Pioneer. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.       

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $119 and $245 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively, and $87 and $193 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for the remainder of 2014 and each of the next five years is approximately $128 , $383 , $352 , $232 , $229 and $224 , respectively.

Note 9.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities  
Guarantees  
Indemnifications
In connection with acquisitions and divestitures, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transaction. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited.

Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others  
The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates, customers and suppliers. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the company had directly guaranteed $510 and $561 , respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

In certain cases, the company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers and suppliers. Assuming liquidation, these assets are estimated to cover 42 percent of the $321 of guaranteed obligations of customers and suppliers. Set forth below are the company's guaranteed obligations at June 30, 2014 :

Imprelis ®  
The company has received claims and has been served with multiple lawsuits alleging that the use of Imprelis ® herbicide caused damage to certain trees. Sales of Imprelis ® were suspended in August 2011 and the product was last applied during the 2011 spring application season. The lawsuits seeking class action status were consolidated in multidistrict litigation in federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In February 2014, the court entered the final order dismissing these lawsuits as a result of the class action settlement. The appeal by one class member was resolved in the second quarter 2014.

As part of the settlement, DuPont paid about $7 in plaintiffs' attorney fees and expenses. In addition, DuPont is providing a warranty against new damage, if any, caused by the use of Imprelis ® on class members' properties through May 2015. Certain class members opted out of the settlement. The opt-outs have filed about 125 individual actions encompassing about 420 claims for property and related damage in state court in various jurisdictions. DuPont has removed most of these cases to federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once removed to federal court, the individual actions remain stayed pending further action by the court.

The company has established review processes to verify and evaluate damage claims. There are several variables that impact the evaluation process including the number of trees on a property, the species of tree with reported damage, the height of the tree, the extent of damage and the possibility for trees to naturally recover over time. Upon receiving claims, DuPont verifies their accuracy and validity which often requires physical review of the property.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

At June 30, 2014 , DuPont had recorded charges of $1,175 , within other operating charges, to resolve these claims, which represents the company's best estimate of the loss associated with resolving these claims. The company did not take any charges related to this matter during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 . The three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included charges of $80 and $115 , respectively. At June 30, 2014 , DuPont had accruals of $364 related to these claims. The company has an applicable insurance program with a deductible equal to the first $100 of costs and expenses. The insurance program limits are $725 for costs and expenses in excess of the $100 . Insurance recoveries are recognized when realized. DuPont has submitted and will continue to submit requests for payment to its insurance carriers for costs associated with this matter. The company has begun to receive payment from its insurance carriers and continues to seek recovery although the timing and outcome remain uncertain. To date the company has recognized and received insurance recoveries of $73 .

Litigation
The company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including product liability, intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Except as otherwise noted, management does not anticipate their resolution will have a materially adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.  However, the ultimate liabilities could be significant to results of operations in the period recognized.  

PFOA 
DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. At June 30, 2014 , DuPont has accruals of $14 related to the PFOA matters discussed below.

The accrual includes charges related to DuPont's obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.  These obligations and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national Provisional Health Advisory.

Drinking Water Actions
In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70 , which class counsel designated to fund a community health project.  The company funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the “C8 Science Panel”). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and human disease.

The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing of eligible class members. The medical panel is expected to address monitoring and may make additional recommendations in a subsequent report.  The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion. The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members.  In January 2012, the company put $1 in an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement.  The court has appointed the Director of Medical Monitoring, who is in the process of setting up a program, to implement the medical panel's recommendations.  Testing has not yet begun and no money has been disbursed from the fund. 

In addition, under the settlement agreement, the company must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA), and private well users.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. At June 30, 2014 , there were approximately 2,290 lawsuits filed in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia of which about 400 had been served on DuPont, an increase of about 1,000 in the number of lawsuits filed and 300 in the number of lawsuits served, respectively, over March 31, 2014. These lawsuits have been or will be consolidated in multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court (“MDL”). These lawsuits allege personal injury and 7 of them allege wrongful death from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. Based on comments from attorneys for the plaintiffs, DuPont expects additional lawsuits may be filed. In the MDL a “discovery pool” of 20 plaintiffs has been established from which individual cases will be selected for the initial trials. The first trial is scheduled to begin in September 2015, and the second in November 2015. DuPont denies the allegations in these lawsuits and is defending itself vigorously.

Additional Actions
An Ohio action brought by the LHWA is ongoing. In addition to general claims of PFOA contamination of drinking water, the action claims “imminent and substantial endangerment to health and or the environment” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In the second quarter 2014, DuPont filed a motion for summary judgment which if granted, will be dispositive of this matter. The LHWA has moved for partial summary judgment. DuPont denies these claims and is defending itself vigorously.

While it is probable that the company will incur losses related to funding the medical monitoring program, such losses cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding implementation. DuPont believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur losses related to the other PFOA matters discussed above; however, a range of such losses, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Environmental  
The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent with the policy as described in the company's 2013 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), RCRA and similar state and global laws. These laws require the company to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where the company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where company-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related to a number of sites identified by the company for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which are not currently the subject of enforcement activities.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of potentially responsible parties. At June 30, 2014 , the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of $474 , relating to these matters and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. The average time frame over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past history, is estimated to be 15 - 20  years. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, potential liability may range up to three times the amount accrued as of June 30, 2014 .

Note 10.  Stockholders’ Equity  
Share Repurchase Program
In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5,000 share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. There is no required completion date for purchases under the 2014 plan. In February 2014, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with a financial institution. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, the company paid $1,000 to the financial institution and received and retired 15.1 million shares. The ASR was completed in the second quarter 2014. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the company repurchased 0.5 million shares and 1.5 million shares in the open market for a total cost of $35 and $97 , respectively. These shares were retired upon receipt.

In December 2012, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,000 share buyback plan. In February 2013, the company entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution under which the company used $1,000 of the proceeds from the sale of Performance Coatings for the purchase of shares of common stock. The 2012 $1,000 share buyback plan was completed in the second quarter 2013 through the ASR agreement, under which the company purchased and retired 20.4 million shares.

Note 11. Financial Instruments
Debt
The estimated fair value of the company's total debt including interest rate financial instruments was determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2013 Annual Report in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's debt was approximately $12,500 and $12,860 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respe ctively.

Cash Equivalents
The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its stated value.  The estimated fair value of the company's cash equivalents was determined using level 1 and level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2013 Annual Report in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. ”  Level 1 measurements are based on quoted market prices and level 2 measurements are based on current interest rates for similar instruments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity.  The company held $0 and $5,116 of money market funds (level 1 measurements) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.  The company held $2,526 and $2,256 of other cash equivalents (level 2 measurements) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.     

Derivative Instruments
Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.
 
Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps. The company has not designated any nonderivatives as hedging instruments.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

The company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The company's derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the company's derivative instruments were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk
The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and cash flows.

The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk
The company uses interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of the total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed for floating rate interest payments to effectively convert fixed rate debt into floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow the company to achieve a target range of floating rate debt.

Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as copper, corn, soybeans and soybean meal. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with energy feedstock and agricultural commodity exposures.

Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps
At June 30, 2014 , the company maintained a number of interest rate swaps, which were implemented at the time debt instruments were issued. All interest rate swaps qualify for the shortcut method of hedge accounting, thus there is no ineffectiveness related to these hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Contracts
The company uses foreign currency exchange instruments such as forwards and options to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Commodity Contracts
The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with energy feedstock and agriculture commodity exposures.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two-year period. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction will not materialize. The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

At June 30, 2014 , the after-tax amount expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next 12 months is $(7) .

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Contracts
The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. Additionally, the company had cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on long-term intercompany loans. These swaps matured during 2013.

Commodity Contracts
The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal.

OCI is defined as other comprehensive income (loss).
 
For cash flow hedges, this represents the effective portion of the gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , there was no material ineffectiveness with regard to the company's cash flow hedges.
 
Gain (loss) recognized in income of derivative is offset to $0 by gain (loss) recognized in income of the hedged item.
 
Gain (loss) recognized in other income, net, was partially offset by the related gain (loss) on the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of the company's operations, which were $19 and $(55) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, and $(31) and $(150) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.

Note 13.  Segment Information  
Segment sales include transfers to another business segment. Segment pre-tax operating income (loss) (PTOI) is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding non-operating pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest.

The earnings from the previous Pharmaceuticals segment are expected to be insignificant in 2014 and therefore, effective January 1, 2014, the results are reported within Other. Viton ® fluoroelastomer products ("Viton ® ") will be included in the Performance Chemicals separation and therefore, effective April 30, 2014, the results are reported within Performance Chemicals. Viton ® was previously reported within Performance Materials. Reclassifications of prior year data have been made to conform to current year classifications.

Cautionary Statements About Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about the company's strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market position, anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions, outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be accurate or realized. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control. Some of the important factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements are:

Fluctuations in energy and raw material prices;
Failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles;
Outcome of significant litigation and environmental matters, including those related to divested businesses;
Failure to appropriately manage process safety and product stewardship issues;
Effect of changes in tax, environmental and other laws and regulations or political conditions in the United States of America (U.S.) and other countries in which the company operates;
Conditions in the global economy and global capital markets, including economic factors, such as inflation, deflation and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, as well as regulatory requirements;
Impact of business disruptions, including supply disruptions, and security threats, regardless of cause, including acts of sabotage, cyber-attacks, terrorism or war, weather events and natural disasters;
Ability to protect and enforce the company's intellectual property rights; and
Successful integration of acquired businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets or businesses, including proposed spin-off of the Performance Chemicals segment.

For additional information on these and other risks and factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, see the company's Risk Factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of the company's 2013 Annual Report.

Recent Developments  
Separation of Performance Chemicals
The company expects to complete the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment by mid-2015. As part of the separation, DuPont incurred $35 million and $51 million in transaction costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which were recorded in other operating charges. For full-year 2014, costs associated with the separation are expected to be about $170 million ($0.13 per share). The company expects to incur additional costs related to the separation in 2015. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation activities within finance, legal and information system functions.

Redesign Initiative and 2014 Restructuring Plan
In the second quarter 2014, DuPont announced its global, multi-year redesign initiative to align its operating model for what will be a more focused portfolio of businesses after the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment. As part of this initiative, in the second quarter 2014, DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of the Performance Chemicals segment and to improve productivity across all businesses and functions. See further discussion of the 2014 restructuring plan within Results of Operations and Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The company anticipates that it could incur future charges related to this initiative as it implements additional actions. In addition, the company expects to realize annual cost savings, currently estimated at $375 million per year, from the movement and elimination of functional costs as the Performance Chemicals separation is completed.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency Translation
During the first quarter 2014, the Venezuelan government enacted certain changes to the country’s foreign exchange systems including the expansion of the use of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (“SICAD 1”) auction rate and introduction of the SICAD 2 auction process. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX, previously CADIVI) at 6.3 Bolivar Fuertes (BsF) to USD. Based on evaluation of the availability of the specific exchange rate mechanisms, effective June 30, 2014, the company changed from the official exchange rate of 6.3 BsF to the SICAD 2 exchange rate of 49.98 BsF to remeasure its BsF denominated net monetary assets, which resulted in a $58 million pre-tax charge within other income, net during the second quarter 2014. See Note 1 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Disposition of a Business
In June 2014, the company sold Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls (GLS/Vinyls) in the Performance Materials segment, to Kuraray Co. Ltd. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $ 391 million ($ 273 million net of tax). The gain was recorded in other income, net in the second quarter 2014.

Results of Operations
Overview
The following is a summary of the results of continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 :

Net Sales were $9.7 billion versus $9.8 billion in the same period prior year. Volume growth in Nutrition & Health, the Crop Protection business and most industrial businesses was offset by the impact of portfolio changes, a planned maintenance shutdown and lower corn seed volumes.

Total segment pre-tax operating income (PTOI) of $2.0 billion, was 10 percent above last year, principally driven by the gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls in the Performance Materials segment partially offset by restructuring charges.

Income from continuing operations after income taxes was $1.1 billion, an increase of 4 percent from the same period last year.
    
The company has commenced a restructuring plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of Performance Chemicals and to improve productivity across all businesses. The plan is expected to be substantially complete by year-end 2015 and after completion, will deliver pre-tax costs savings of about $300 million.

The company announced a third quarter dividend of $0.47 per share, a 4 percent increase in its dividend.


The following is a summary of the results of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 :

Net sales were $19.8 billion, 2 percent below prior year, reflecting 1 percent lower volume and 1 percent impact from portfolio changes.

Total segment PTOI of $4.2 billion, was 5 percent above last year, principally driven by the gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls in the Performance Materials segment partially offset by the impact of the restructuring charge recorded in second quarter 2014.

Income from continuing operations after income taxes was $2.5 billion, an increase of 4 percent from the same period last year.

Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter were $9.7 billion, 1 percent below $9.8 billion in the prior year. Volume increases in Nutrition & Health, the Crop Protection business and most industrial businesses were offset by the impact of portfolio changes, lower Agriculture corn seed volume and the scheduled ethylene plant shutdown in Performance Materials. All segments saw volume growth in Asia Pacific, which was offset slightly by lower volumes in EMEA and Latin America. Local prices were flat as increased seed prices were essentially offset by lower prices in Performance Chemicals and Electronics & Communications. Currency impact was negligible, as the benefit of a stronger Euro offset weakness in most other currencies, particularly the Brazilian real and Canadian dollar. Sales in developing markets of $2.8 billion, representing 28 percent of total company sales, were flat versus prior year as increases in Developing Asia were offset by declines in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Developing markets include China, India and countries located in Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $19.8 billion, 2 percent below the same period last year. The decrease reflects slightly lower volume and the impact of portfolio changes. Lower volume is principally attributable to lower corn seed sales and the scheduled shutdown of a Performance Materials ethylene plant. All segments except Agriculture had volume increases. Regionally, a 5 percent increase in Asia Pacific, driven by growth across all segments, and a 3 percent EMEA increase, were more than offset by lower North American Agriculture volumes. Local prices were flat as increased seed prices were essentially offset by lower prices in Performance Chemicals and Electronics & Communications. Currency impact was negligible, as weakness in most currencies was essentially offset by a stronger Euro. Sales in developing markets were $5.8 billion, flat versus prior year, representing 29 percent of total company sales.

Other Income, Net
Other income, net, totaled $408 million for the second quarter 2014, an increase of $249 million compared to $159 million in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to the $391 million gain related to the sale of GLS/Vinyls within the Performance Materials segment, offset by additional pre-tax exchange losses of $144 million. The increase in pre-tax exchange losses is result of devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and Ukrainian hryvnia, increased currency rate volatility, principally in emerging markets, and higher costs associated with the company's balance sheet hedging program. The pre-tax exchange losses for the second quarter 2014 includes $58 million and $7 million exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and Ukrainian hryvnia, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, other income, net was $425 million compared to $251 million last year, an increase of $174 million. The decrease was due primarily to the $391 million gain related to the sale of GLS/Vinyls within the Performance Materials segment and an increase in earnings of equity method investments of $36 million which was partially offset by additional pre-tax exchange losses of $251 million. The increase in pre-tax exchange losses is result of devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, Ukrainian hryvnia, and Argentinian peso, increased currency rate volatility, principally in emerging markets, and higher costs associated with the company's balance sheet hedging program. The exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014, includes $58 million, $46 million, and $14 million exchange losses, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, Ukrainian hryvnia, and Argentinian peso, respectively. The exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 includes $33 million exchange losses associated with the devaluation of the Venezuela bolivar.

Additional information related to the company's other income, net, is included in Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
COGS totaled $6.0 billion in the second quarter 2014 versus $6.1 billion in the prior year, a 1 percent decrease, principally due to 1 percent lower sales. COGS as a percent of net sales was 62 percent for second quarter 2014 and 2013. Lower raw material costs across most segments were offset by higher Agriculture inventory write-offs.

COGS for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $12.0 billion, a decrease of 2 percent versus $12.2 billion in the prior year, principally due to lower sales. COGS as a percent of net sales was approximately 61 percent for year-to-date 2014 and 2013, as lower raw material costs across most segments were offset by higher Agriculture inventory write-offs.

Other Operating Charges
Other operating charges totaled $0.8 billion in the second quarter 2014 versus $0.9 billion in the prior year, a 12 percent decrease. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Other operating charges was $1.6 billion, a decrease of 13 percent versus $1.9 billion in the prior year. The decreases were primarily due to the absence of prior-year Imprelis ® charges and lower charges for pension and OPEB costs. Other operating charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 includes $35 million and $51 million, respectively, of costs associated with the separation of the Performance Chemicals Segment. See Note 2 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to this matter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A totaled $948 million for the second quarter 2014 versus $983 million in the prior year. Year-to-date SG&A totaled $1.9 billion versus $2.0 billion in 2013. The decreases were primarily due to reduced sales commissions within the Agriculture segment as well as reduced pension and OPEB costs. SG&A was approximately 10 percent of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Research and Development Expense (R&D)
R&D totaled $545 million and $542 million for the second quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher spend within the Agriculture and Nutrition & Health segments offset by lower pension and OPEB costs. R&D was approximately 6 percent of net sales for the second quarter 2014 and 2013.

R&D was flat at $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. R&D was approximately 5 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $94 million in the second quarter 2014, compared to $115 million in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to lower average borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense was $197 million versus $232 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to average lower borrowings and a slightly lower average borrowing rate.

Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net
In the second quarter 2014, as part of the redesign initiative discussed above, DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of Performance Chemicals and to improve productivity across all businesses and functions. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 a pre-tax charge of $263 million was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net. The charge consisted of $166 million employee separation costs, $3 million of other non-personnel charges and $94 million of asset shut down costs. The actions associated with this charge and all related payments are expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2015 and to achieve pre-tax costs savings of approximately $250 million in 2015 and approximately $300 million per year in subsequent years. The company anticipates that it will incur future charges, which it cannot reasonably estimate at this time, related to this plan as it implements additional actions. Additional details related to this plan can be found in Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes on Continuing Operations
The company's effective tax rate for the second quarter 2014 was 25.4 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations as compared to 24.5 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations in 2013. The higher effective tax rate principally relates to the unfavorable impact of the Venezuelan bolivar devaluation and geographic mix of earnings, partially offset by a favorable change in accrual for a prior year tax position.


28

Table of Contents

The company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 22.3 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations as compared to 23.0 percent on pre-tax income from continuing operations in 2013. The lower effective tax rate principally relates to a favorable settlement in the first quarter 2014 and a favorable change in accrual for a prior year tax position in the second quarter 2014, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the Venezuelan bolivar devaluation.

See Note 5 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income from Continuing Operations after Income Taxes
Income from continuing operations after income taxes for second quarter 2014 of $1,074 million increased 4 percent versus $1,030 million in the same period last year principally due to higher total segment PTOI, including a gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls, partly offset by the restructuring charge. Year-to-date 2014 income from continuing operations after income taxes of $2,519 million increased 4 percent, versus $2,417 million in the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the reasons noted above.

Outlook
In June 2014, the company revised its 2014 earnings outlook dow nward reflecting lower than expected corn seed volumes, higher than expected seed inventory write-downs and lower than expected selling prices in refrigerants, partially offset by higher than expected soybean volumes in North America.

Agriculture - Agriculture sales were essentially flat second quarter 2014 as compared to 2013, as higher seed prices and higher insecticide and soybean seed volumes were offset by lower corn seed and herbicide volumes. PTOI of $789 million declined $72 million, or 8 percent, on lower corn seed volumes, lower North America herbicide volumes and higher seed inventory write-downs. This was partially offset by higher seed prices, higher insecticide volumes, lower seed input costs and higher soybean volumes. Second quarter 2014 PTOI included charges of $47 million associated with the 2014 restructuring plan, while 2013 included charges of $80 million related to Imprelis ® herbicide claims.

Year-to-date sales of $8 billion declined $0.3 billion, or 4 percent, on lower corn seed volumes and lower North America herbicide volumes. Supply-driven impacts on commodity prices led to reductions in corn planted area in the North America and Brazil Safrinha seasons. In addition, the earlier timing of seed shipments caused sales to be realized in fourth quarter 2013 versus the first quarter 2014. This was partially offset by higher seed prices, higher insecticide volumes and higher soybean volumes.


30

Table of Contents

PTOI of $2.2 billion decreased $0.1 billion, or 5 percent on lower volumes and higher seed inventory write-downs, partially offset by lower seed input costs. Year-to-date 2014 PTOI included charges of $47 million associated with the 2014 restructuring plan, while 2013 included charges of $115 million related to Imprelis ® herbicide claims. See Notes 3 and 9 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan and the Imprelis ® matter, respectively.

For the second half 2014, the company expects sales to be up modestly and PTOI up substantially, driven by increased demand for insecticides aided by launches of Cyazypyr ® insecticide and Dermacor TM seed treatments in Brazil. This is expected to be partly offset by lower corn sales in Brazil's summer season due to lower planted area and modestly lower price reflecting the impact of fall armyworm resistance to the Herculex ® 1 trait 1 . Similar to 2013, the company also expects early seed shipments for the 2015 Brazil Safrinha and northern hemisphere seasons to result in shifting some corn seed sales from the first quarter 2015 into the fourth quarter 2014.

Electronics & Communications - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $617 million declined $36 million, or 6 percent, largely due to reduced selling prices, primarily from the pass-through of metals prices, as well as product mix and competitive pressures. This was partially offset by increased volumes, primarily in consumer electronics. PTOI of $21 million decreased $74 million, or 78 percent, due to charges of $68 million related to the 2014 restructuring plan and the absence of $20 million from OLED licensing income realized during the second quarter 2013, partially offset by increased volumes and productivity improvements.

Year-to-date sales of $1.2 billion decreased $0.1 billion, or 6 percent, largely due to reduced selling prices, primarily from the pass-through of metals prices, partially offset by increased volumes in consumer electronics and photovoltaic markets. PTOI of $96 million decreased $48 million, or 33 percent, due to charges of $68 million related to the 2014 restructuring plan and the absence of $20 million from OLED licensing income realized during the second quarter 2013, partially offset by increased volumes.

See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan.

Industrial Biosciences - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $317 million increased $13 million, or 4 percent, from continued strong enzyme demand for ethanol production, which was partially offset by lower sales for Sorona ®  polymer due to lower existing home sales. Sales in animal nutrition markets paired with strong food enzyme demand also increased volumes and margins. PTOI of $57 million increased $14 million, or 33 percent, driven by mix enrichment, improved margins associated with new products, and slightly higher volumes.

Year-to-date sales of $618 million increased $25 million, or 4 percent, from increased enzyme demand for animal nutrition and ethanol production. This was partially offset by lower sales for Sorona ®  polymer for carpeting. PTOI of $113 million increased $29 million, or 35 percent, from increased enzyme demand and lower costs.

Second quarter and year-to-date 2014 PTOI included charges of $2 million related to the 2014 restructuring plan. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan.

Nutrition & Health - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $926 million increased $61 million, or 7 percent, from broad based volume growth in all regions and improved product mix. PTOI of $97 million increased $36 million, or 59 percent, from increased volumes and pricing, lower raw material costs, productivity gains and the absence of one-time costs in the second quarter 2013.

Year-to-date sales of $1.8 billion increased $54 million, or 3 percent, from broad based volume growth and improved product mix, partially offset by unfavorable currency. PTOI of $190 million increased $53 million, or 39 percent, from increased volumes and pricing, lower raw material costs and productivity gains.

Second quarter and year-to-date 2014 PTOI included charges of $8 million related to the 2014 restructuring plan. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan.

Performance Chemicals - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $1.7 billion decreased $0.1 billion, or 8 percent, due primarily to lower prices in refrigerants for mobile and stationary applications as well as titanium dioxide and the impact of portfolio changes. Second quarter refrigerant prices for mobile and stationary applications were lower as prices for R22 have not recovered from the prior year following the increase in production allocations granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, HFC prices, principally 134a, were under pressure due to heavy imports. Slightly higher titanium dioxide volumes were more than offset by lower volumes in Chemicals and Fluoroproducts. PTOI of $232 million decreased $36 million, or 13 percent, due to lower prices and charges of $19 million relating to the 2014 restructuring plan, partially offset by productivity improvements.

Table of Contents

Year-to-date segment sales of $3.3 billion decreased $0.2 billion, or 6 percent, as increased volumes, primarily for titanium dioxide and fluoroproducts, were more than offset by lower prices, primarily for refrigerants as well as titanium dioxide, and the impact of portfolio changes. PTOI of $438 million decreased $86 million, or 16 percent, due primarily to lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes and productivity improvements. Year-to-date 2014 PTOI included charges of $19 million relating to the 2014 restructuring plan. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan.

Performance Materials - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $1.6 billion decreased 2 percent, due primarily to the decreased ethylene volumes as a result of the scheduled second quarter outage at the Orange, Texas ethylene unit and the impact of the sale of GLS/Vinyls (see Note 2 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements). This was partially offset by increased volumes in the automotive markets. PTOI of $665 million increased $333 million, or 100 percent. The $391 million pre-tax gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls and increased volume in automotive markets were partially offset by decreased ethylene volumes due to the scheduled outage.

Year-to-date segment sales of $3.1 billion were flat with 2013. PTOI of $958 million increased $339 million or 55 percent, due primarily to the second quarter 2014 gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls and stronger volumes in automotive markets. This was partially offset by decreased ethylene volumes as a result of the second quarter scheduled ethylene outage and higher ethane and natural gas costs.

Second quarter and year-to-date PTOI 2014 included charges of $29 million related to the 2014 restructuring plan. See Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the 2014 restructuring plan.

Safety & Protection - Second quarter 2014 segment sales of $1.0 billion, were up 1 percent on higher volumes in industrial markets. Improved demand for Nomex ® thermal resistant and Kevlar ® high strength materials was partially offset by lower sales from Clean Technologies offerings.

PTOI of $178 million increased $6 million, or 3 percent, as higher volumes in industrial markets, lower product costs and productivity improvements were mostly offset by $31 million of charges relating to the 2014 restructuring plan (see Note 3 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements).

Year-to-date segment sales of $2.0 billion increased $52 million or 3 percent, on higher volumes driven by improved demand for Nomex ® thermal resistant and Kevlar ® high strength materials and demand for building materials, partially offset by lower sales from Clean Technologies offerings. PTOI of $353 million increased $43 million, or 14 percent, due primarily to increased volumes, lower product costs and productivity improvements. This was partially offset by $31 million of charges relating to the 2014 restructuring plan.

12,462


Total debt at June 30, 2014 was $11.8 billion, a decrease of $0.7 billion from $12.5 billion at December 31, 2013.  The decrease was due to $1.7 billion debt maturities offset by a $1.0 billion increase in other short term borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The company has access to approximately $4.9 billion in unused credit lines with several major financial institutions, an increase of $0.5 billion from December 31, 2013. The unused credit lines provide additional support to meet short-term liquidity needs and general corporate purposes including letters of credit. The increase in unused credit lines is primarily due to the company’s refinancing in the second quarter 2014 of the previous four year $3.5 billion credit facility with a five year $4.0 billion credit facility.

Summary of Cash Flows 
Cash used for operating activities was $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to cash used for operating activities of $2.6 billion during the same period last year. The $0.5 billion change was primarily due to lower year-over-year income tax payments.
 
The change in other operating charges and credits - net for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $0.6 billion, an increase  of $0.4 billion from the same period last year.  The increase was primarily due to year-over-year changes in fair value of derivative instruments and absence of costs associated with the sale of the Performance Coatings business in 2013. Other operating charges and credits - net primarily consists of expenses related to pension plans as well as reclassifications of items whose cash effects are investing or financing activities.

Cash used for investing activities was $0.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4.1 billion for the same period last year. The $4.3 billion change was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of the Performance Coatings business in 2013.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $0.8 billion, about the same as last year.

Cash used for financing activities was $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 billion for the same period last year. The $3.4 billion decrease was due primarily to a decrease in borrowings in 2014 verses an increase in 2013.

Dividends paid to shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $0.8 billion. In April 2014, the Board of Directors declared a second quarter common stock dividend of $0.45 per share. In July 2014, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.47 per share, a four percent increase over the April 2014 dividend. With the second and third quarter dividends, the company has paid quarterly consecutive dividends since the company’s first dividend in the fourth quarter 1904.

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. The company expects to repurchase $2 billion in 2014 with the remainder to be repurchased over time. There is no required completion date for purchases under the 2014 plan. In February 2014, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a financial institution. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, the Company paid $1 billion to the financial institution and received and retired 15.1 million shares. The ASR was completed in the second quarter 2014. See Part II, Item 2 and Note 10 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the ASR. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the company repurchased 0.5 million shares and 1.5 million shares in the open market for a total cost of $35 million and $97 million, respectively. These shares were retired upon receipt.

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company

RETIREMENT SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN


I.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Plan is to provide an eligible employee with the opportunity to defer, until termination of employment, receipt of salary that, because of compensation limits imposed by law, is ineligible to be considered in calculating benefits within the Company's tax-qualified defined contribution plan(s) and thereby recover benefits lost because of that restriction.

II.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration of this Plan is vested in the Benefit Plan Administrative Committee appointed by the Senior Vice President - HR of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. The Committee may adopt such rules as it may deem necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and may appoint such person(s) or group(s) as may be judged necessary to assist in the administration of the Plan. The Committee's decision in all matters involving the interpretation and application of this Plan shall be final. The Committee shall have the discretionary right to determine eligibility for benefits hereunder and to construe the terms and conditions of this Plan. In all cases, terms of this Plan shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and accompanying regulations.

III.
ELIGIBILITY
An employee of the Company who is eligible to participate in the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company Retirement Savings Plan and who is Grade 13 or above (or equivalent level for a participating subsidiary), or an employee of a Company who is eligible to participate in the tax-qualified 401(k) plan sponsored by the Company and who is eligible as listed on Exhibit A, shall be eligible to participate in this Plan (hereinafter “Participant”).
For purposes of this Plan, the term "Company" means E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, any wholly-owned subsidiary or part thereof and any joint venture, partnership, or


-3


other entity in which E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company has an ownership interest, provided that such entity (1) adopts this Plan with the approval of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and (2) agrees to make the necessary financial commitment in respect of any of its employees who become Participants in this Plan.

IV.
PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS
(A)     Participant Contributions. A Participant may elect to defer receipt of a percentage of compensation in excess of the amount prescribed in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17), and have the dollar equivalent of the deferral percentage credited to a Participant Account under this Plan. The deferral percentage elected under this Plan shall not exceed 6%. Except as provided below, such deferral election will be made prior to the beginning of each calendar year and will be irrevocable for that calendar year.
For purposes of a Participant's first year of participation in this Plan, the compensation deferral election must be made within 30 days of the date the employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, and no later than 30 days prior to the first day of the month for which compensation is deferred and will be irrevocable for the remainder of that calendar year.
(B) Company Matching Contributions. To the extent that a Participant makes a deferral election under the terms of subparagraph (A) above, the Company will credit to that Participant's Account in this Plan an amount equivalent to 100% of the Participant Contribution.
(C) Company Non-elective Contributions. For each employee eligible to participate in this Plan, whether or not he or she makes a deferral election under the terms of subparagraph (A) above, the Company will credit to that Participant’s Account in this Plan an amount equal to 3% of the employee’s compensation in excess of the amount prescribed in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17).
(D) Earnings Equivalents. Credits for Participant Contributions and Company Matching and Non-elective Contributions shall be treated as having been invested in one or more of the investment options available for the ongoing deposit of new employee contributions in the Retirement Savings Plan. Additional credit (or debit) amounts will be posted to the Participant's Account in this Plan based on the performance of those investment options.
The Participant shall have the right to:


-4



(1)
designate which of the available investment options are to be used in valuing his/her Account under this Plan, subject to the rules governing investment direction in the Retirement Savings Plan; and/or

(2)
change the designated investment options used in valuing his/her Account under this Plan, subject to the rules governing investment direction and/or transfers among funds in the Retirement Savings Plan.

(E) Credits to Accounts. Participant Contributions, Company Matching and Non-elective Contributions and Earnings Equivalents shall be credited (or debited) to the Participant's Account under this Plan as unfunded book entries stated as cash balances, and will not be payable to Participants until such time as employment with the Company terminates. The cash balances in Participant Accounts shall be unfunded general obligations of the Company, and no Participant shall have any claim to or security interest in any asset of the Company on account thereof.

(F) Definition of Compensation. Compensation for purposes of this Plan shall mean “compensation” as defined in the tax-qualified plan in which the Participant participates.



V.
VESTING

Participant Contributions and Company Matching and Earnings Equivalents attributable thereto shall be vested at the time such amounts are credited to the Participant's Account. Company Non-elective Contributions and Earnings Equivalents thereto shall be vested after the employee completes 3 years of service, as defined in the tax qualified plan in which the participant participates, or, if earlier, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s Equity and Incentive Plan, a “Change in Control”).


VI.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Amounts payable under this Plan shall be distributed in one of the following forms and at a time as elected by the Participant:
(1) a lump sum at termination of employment, or in any year up to five years after


-5


termination of employment; or
(2) annual installments for up to 15 years, beginning in the year of termination of employment or in nay of the first five years following termination of employment.
If the Participant does not make a valid election as to form and time of distribution, or upon the Participant’s death, amounts payable shall be delivered in a cash lump sum as soon as practical after termination of employment or death. Any such election shall be made by the Participant at the time the deferral election is made. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, amounts payable to an officer of the Company shall be paid no sooner than the sixth month anniversary of the employee’s termination date. All payments under this Plan shall be made by, and all expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by, the Company.
Benefits payable due to a Participant’s death shall be paid to the beneficiary designated on the most recent valid beneficiary designation form received by the Committee, or, if no valid beneficiary designation is on file or the beneficiary cannot be determined by the Committee, to the Participant’s estate.

Article 1. Purpose. E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“Company”) desires to provide certain of its employees with an opportunity to accumulate additional retirement savings through voluntary compensation deferral contributions to a plan intended to constitute a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which, in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), is unfunded and maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

1


Employee’s gross income) and other non-regular forms of compensation paid to a Participant for employment services rendered). Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or nonqualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 132, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans or arrangements established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in Base Salary only to the extent that had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee.

Section 2.06    “ Base Salary Deferral Eligible Employee ” means any U.S.-based employee of the Employer who is designated from time to time by the Employer as eligible to defer the payment of Base Salary in accordance with Article 4 hereof.

Section 2.08    “ Change of Control ” means an objectively determined event that occurs with respect to the Company or the Employer for whom the Participant renders services and which constitutes both a Change in Control for purposes of the Equity and Incentive Plan and change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or Employer, as applicable, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s or Employer’s, as applicable, assets for purposes of Code Section 409A.

Section 2.09    “ Changed Personal Circumstances ” means an event or series of events beyond the control of the Participant which were unforeseeable at the time a Deferral Election was made which will result in a severe financial hardship for the Participant absent a cancellation of the Deferral Election at issue. A financial hardship shall be deemed severe if the amount involved equals or exceeds the annual Deferral otherwise resulting from the Deferral Election at issue. Whether a Participant has experienced Changed Personal Circumstances shall be determined on a facts-and-circumstances basis in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

Section 2.10    “ Code ” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder.
