Notes 1. Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2004, BP prepared its financial statements in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting practice (UK GAAP). From 1 January 2005 BP is required to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Commission ('EC'). Consequently, financial information for interim quarters of 2005 must be prepared on the basis of IFRS. The general principle that should be applied on first-time adoption of IFRS is that standards in force at the first reporting date (that is, for BP, 31 December 2005) should be applied retrospectively. However, IFRS 1 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards' contains a number of exemptions which companies are permitted to apply. BP has elected: - not to present comparative information in accordance with IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation' and IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. - not to restate its financial information for acquisitions occurring before 1 January 2003. - to deem cumulative translation differences to be zero at 1 January 2003. - to recognize all actuarial gains and losses on pensions and other post-retirement benefits directly in shareholders' equity at 1 January 2003. This is consistent with the group's adoption of FRS 17 'Retirement Benefits' in 2004. - to apply IFRS 2 'Share-based Payment' retrospectively to all share- based payments. As a result of the above exemptions certain changes apply from 1 January 2003 (BP's Date of Transition) followed by further changes (due to IAS 32 and IAS 39) to apply from 1 January 2005. The quarterly information for 2005 and the restatement of financial information for the year ended 31 December 2004 and the interim quarters of 2004 have been prepared on the basis of all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) (with the exception of IAS 32 and IAS 39 (as amended) for the 2004 information) and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) expected to be in effect for the year ending 31 December 2005. It is possible that there will be changes to these standards and interpretations before the end of 2005, which might require further adjustments to this information before it is included in the 2005 Annual Report and Accounts. In addition, BP has decided to early adopt IFRS 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations', IFRS 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources', the amendment to IAS 19 'Amendment to international accounting standard IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures', the amendment to IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intra-group Transactions' and IFRIC 4 'Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease'. In the restatement information for the year ended 31 December 2004 and the interim quarters of 2004 financial assets and financial liabilities are accounted for on the basis of UK GAAP. Under UK GAAP, all derivatives used for trading purposes are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. However, derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes are recognized by applying either the accrual method or the deferral method. Under the accrual method, amounts payable or receivable in respect of derivatives are recognized rateably in earnings over the period of the contracts. Changes in the derivative's fair value are not recognized. On the deferral method, gains and losses from derivatives are deferred and recognized in earnings or as adjustments to carrying amounts as the underlying hedged transaction matures or occurs. From 1 January 2005 for IFRS all financial assets and financial liabilities have to be recognized initially at fair value. In subsequent periods the measurement of these financial instruments depends on their classification into one of the following measurement categories: i) financial assets or financial liabilities at-fair-value- through-profit-and-loss (such as those used for trading purposes, and all derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting); ii) loans and receivables; iii) available-for-sale financial assets (including certain investments held for the long term) and iv) other liabilities. The effect of adopting IAS 39 at 1 January 2005 is shown as a movement in BP shareholders' equity for 2005. Notes 1. Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (continued) The principal differences for the group between reporting on the basis of UK GAAP and IFRS are as follows: - ceasing to amortize goodwill. - setting up deferred taxation on: - acquisitions; - inventory valuation differences; - unremitted earnings of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities. - expensing a greater proportion of major maintenance costs. - no longer recognizing dividends proposed but not declared as a liability at the balance sheet date. - recognizing an expense for the fair value of employee share option schemes rather than the intrinsic value. - recording asset swaps on the basis of fair value. - embedded derivatives measured at fair value. BP has produced an explanatory note setting out its accounting policies under IFRS, the major differences between UK GAAP and IFRS for BP, and reconciliations of UK GAAP to IFRS for its 2003 and 2004 Income and Cash Flow Statements, its Balance Sheets at 1 January 2003, 31 December 2003, 31 December 2004 and 1 January 2005. This information can be found at the Investor Centre www.bp.com. In addition, the reconciliations for 2004 interim periods included in this report are shown below.

Resegmentation With effect from 1 January 2005 there have been the following changes to the business segments reported by the group. (a) Our petrochemicals operations have been divided between the Refining and Marketing segment and Other businesses and corporate. The Aromatics and Acetyls businesses and the petrochemicals assets that are integrated with our Gelsenkirchen refinery in Germany are now part of Refining and Marketing. The Olefins and Derivatives business is now reported within Other businesses and corporate. This segment has also been restated to include the legacy historical results of other petrochemicals assets that have been divested during 2004. We have also combined our Grangemouth and Lavera refineries into the Olefins and Derivatives business to maintain current operating synergies. These changes have been made in connection with the establishment of our Olefins and Derivatives business as a stand-alone entity within BP, with a view towards its divestment at a later date. (b) A small US operation, the Hobbs fractionator, which supplies petrochemicals feedstock, has been transferred from Gas, Power and Renewables to Olefins and Derivatives. (c) The Mardi Gras pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico has been transferred from Exploration and Production to Refining and Marketing. Comparative financial and operating information is shown after resegmentation and the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. Further information regarding these adjustments can be found at the BP investor centre www.bp.com. 3.

As reported at first quarter 2005, various TNK-BP group companies have received tax notifications totalling approximately $1 billion in respect of 2001. Discussions between TNK-BP and the Russian Federal Tax Service (FTS) regarding these notifications are still ongoing. In addition, the FTS is currently conducting routine tax audits for 2002 and 2003, although it has not communicated any preliminary findings and any such findings are likely to be dependent on the resolution of the 2001 tax issues. In the agreements executed at the formation of TNK-BP, BP has extensive indemnities from its co-venturers in respect of pre-acquisition tax liabilities. Notes 10.
