Restatement of comparative information Comparative information for 2003 has been restated to reflect the changes described below. (a) Transfer of natural gas liquids activities With effect from 1 January 2004 natural gas liquids (NGLs) activities have been transferred from the Exploration and Production segment to Gas, Power and Renewables. (b) New accounting standard for pensions and other post-retirement benefits With effect from 1 January 2004 BP has adopted Financial Reporting Standard No. 17 'Retirement Benefits' (FRS 17). FRS 17 requires that financial statements reflect at fair value the assets and liabilities arising from an employer's retirement benefit obligations and any related funding. The operating costs of providing retirement benefits are recognized in the period in which they are earned together with any related finance costs and changes in the value of related assets and liabilities. This contrasts with Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No. 24 'Accounting for Pension Costs', which required the cost of providing pensions to be recognized on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which the employer benefited from the employee's services. The difference between the amount charged in the income statement and the amount paid as contributions into the pension fund was shown as a prepayment or provision on the balance sheet. (c) Accounting for Employee Share Ownership Plans With effect from 1 January 2004 BP has adopted Urgent Issues Task Force Abstract No. 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. This abstract requires that BP shares held by the group for the purposes of Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) are deducted from equity on the balance sheet. Such shares were previously classified as fixed asset investments. In addition, accruals for awards under the Long Term Performance Plan have also been included in reserves.
