Restatement of comparative information Comparative information for 2001 has been restated to reflect the changes described below. (a) Transfer of solar, renewables and alternative fuels activities With effect from 1 January 2002, the solar, renewables and alternative fuels activities have been transferred from Other businesses and corporate to Gas and Power. To reflect this transfer Gas and Power has been renamed Gas, Power and Renewables from the same date. (b) New accounting standard for deferred tax With effect from 1 January 2002 BP has adopted Financial Reporting Standard No.19 'Deferred Tax' (FRS 19). This standard generally requires that deferred tax should be provided on a full liability basis rather than on a restricted liability basis as required by Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No.15 'Accounting for Deferred Tax'. The adoption of FRS 19 has been treated as a change in accounting policy. Under FRS 19 deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less, tax in the future. In particular: o Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the replacement assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold. o Provision is made for deferred tax that would arise on remittance of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated undertakings only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends have been accrued as receivable. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. As a consequence of adopting FRS 19 acquisitions have been restated as if the new standard applied at that time. This leads to the creation of higher deferred tax liabilities and greater amounts of goodwill on those acquisitions.

It is an extract from the 2002 Annual Accounts (except Note 10), approved by a duly appointed and authorized committee of the Board of Directors at today's Results Committee, but not yet delivered to the UK Registrar of Companies; the report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified. In preparing the financial statements for the current year, the group has adopted Financial Reporting Standard No. 19 'Deferred Tax' (FRS 19). The adoption of FRS 19 has resulted in a change in accounting policy for deferred tax. Prior year figures have been restated - see Note 1 for further details. Quarterly results are unuadited.
