The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes provided elsewhere in this Form 6-K and with the information, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes, for the year ended 31 December 2006 in BP p.l.c.’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2006.
   
BP’s second quarter profit was $7,376 million, compared with $7,581 million a year ago, a decrease of 3%. For the half year, profit was $12,040 million compared with $13,204 million, down 9%. The second quarter profit included inventory holding gains of $1,289 million compared with gains of $1,148 million in the same period last year. For the half year, inventory holding gains were $1,592 million compared with $1,506 million in the first half of 2006. See footnote (b) on page 4 for further information.
   
The second quarter result (before tax) included net disposal gains of $1,239 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $283 million and was after impairment charges of $385 million. The second quarter of 2006 included net disposal gains of $497 million, net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $261 million and was after an impairment charge of $35 million and a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation.
   
The first-half result (before tax) included net disposal gains of $1,876 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $438 million, and was after impairment and other charges of $615 million. The first half of 2006 included net disposal gains of $1,071 million and is after net fair value losses on embedded derivatives of $181 million, impairment charges of $35 million and a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation.
   
Finance costs and other finance income for the second quarter and half year was $155 million and $326 million compared with $107 million and $250 million for the comparable periods of 2006. The increases in both periods reflected higher interest costs and lower capitalized interest, partially offset by an increase in net pension finance income due to a relatively higher return on pension assets in comparison with the discount unwinding on pension obligations.
   
The effective tax rate on profit from continuing operations for the second quarter was 31% and for the half year was 32%; the rate was 32% for the second quarter of 2006 and was 33% for the first half of 2006.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GROUP RESULTS JANUARY – JUNE 2007 (continued)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter was $6.1 billion compared with $9.1 billion a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects higher working capital requirements, partially offset by higher dividends received from jointly-controlled entities and associates and lower taxes paid. For the half year, net cash provided by operating activities was $14.1 billion compared with $18.1 billion for the first half of 2006. The decrease primarily reflects higher working capital requirements and lower profit before tax, partially offset by lower taxes paid and a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge.
   
Net cash used in investing activities for the second quarter was $1.4 billion compared with $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2006. This reflects higher capital expenditure and higher disposal proceeds. For the half year, net cash used in investing activities was $5.2 billion compared with $4.3 billion in the first half of 2006. The increase primarily reflects higher capital expenditure and higher expenditure on acquisitions, partially offset by higher disposal proceeds.
   
Net debt at the end of the quarter was $21.1 billion. The ratio of net debt to net debt plus equity was 19% compared with 15% a year ago.
   
Capital expenditure, excluding acquisitions and asset exchanges, was $4.4 billion for the quarter and for the half year was $8.0 billion. Total capital expenditure and acquisitions was $4.7 billion for the quarter and $9.5 billion for the half year. The half year included $1.1 billion in respect of the acquisition of Chevron’s Netherlands manufacturing company. Disposal proceeds were $2.7 billion for the quarter and were $3.7 billion for the half year.
   
The quarterly dividend, to be paid in September, is 10.825 cents per share ($0.6495 per ADS) compared with 9.825 cents per share a year ago. For the half year, the dividend showed an increase of 10%. In sterling terms, the quarterly dividend is 5.278 pence per share, compared with 5.324 pence per share a year ago; for the half year, the decrease was 1%. During the quarter, the company repurchased 176 million of its own shares for cancellation at a cost of $2.0 billion. For the first half, share repurchases were 414 million at a cost of $4.5 billion.
   
Non-GAAP information on fair value accounting effects in relation to Refining and Marketing and Gas, Power and Renewables is set out on page 13.
 

(b) Inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the average cost of supplies incurred during the year and the cost of sales calculated on the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. Under the FIFO method, which we use for IFRS reporting, the cost of inventory charged to the income statement is based upon the historic cost of acquisition or manufacture rather than the current replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income. The amounts disclosed represent the difference between the charge to the income statement on a FIFO basis and the charge which would arise using average cost of supplies incurred during the period. For this purpose average cost of supplies incurred during the period is calculated by dividing the total cost of inventory purchased in the period by the number of barrels acquired. The amounts disclosed are not separately reflected in the financial statements as a gain or loss.
   
  Management believes this information is useful to illustrate to investors the fact that crude oil and product prices can vary significantly from period to period and that the impact on our reported result under IFRS can be significant. Inventory holding gains and losses vary from period to period due principally to changes in oil prices as well as changes to underlying inventory levels. In order for investors to understand the operating performance of the Group excluding the impact of oil price changes on the replacement of inventories, and to make comparisons of operating performance between reporting periods, BP’s Management believes it is helpful to disclose this information.

Financing the group’s activities

Net debt at 30 June 2007 was $21.1 billion compared with $21.4 billion at 31 December 2006. The ratio of net debt to net debt plus equity was 19% at 30 June 2007 compared with 20% at 31 December 2006. This ratio shows the proportion of debt and equity used to finance our operations, and can also be used to measure borrowing capacity. In addition to reported debt, BP uses conventional off balance sheet sources of finance such as operating leases and joint venture and associate borrowings.

The group has access to other sources of liquidity in the form of committed facilities and other funding through the capital markets. BP believes that, taking into account the substantial amounts of undrawn borrowing facilities available, the group has sufficient working capital for foreseeable requirements.

In the normal course of business the group has entered into certain long-term purchase commitments principally relating to take or pay contracts for the purchase of natural gas, crude oil and chemicals feedstocks and throughput arrangements for pipelines. The group expects to fulfil its obligations under these arrangements with no adverse consequences to the group’s results of operations or financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION (concluded)

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended 30 June 2007 were $12.7 billion and were $13.5 billion in the corresponding period in 2006, primarily reflecting a decrease of around $0.5 billion due to lower production volumes from subsidiaries (realizations were broadly flat).

Sales and other operating revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were $25 billion, compared with $27 billion in the corresponding period in 2006, primarily reflecting a decrease of around $1 billion related to lower liquids and gas realizations and a decrease of around $1 billion due to lower production volumes from subsidiaries.

The profit before interest and tax for the second quarter was $6,894 million, a decrease of 12% from the second quarter of 2006. This included inventory holding gains of $1 million in both periods. This result was impacted by lower reported volumes, decreasing the result by around $400 million, and higher costs of around $700 million, reflecting the continued impact of sector-specific inflation, increased integrity spend and higher depreciation charges associated primarily with the change to SEC guidelines for reserves reporting as well as increased decommissioning provisions. The result for the second quarter of 2007 included net disposal gains of $212 million (mainly arising from net gains on the disposal of interests in the Permian, Entrada and Kaybob assets in North America) and fair value gains of $299 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts, and was after an impairment charge of $112 million related to the cancellation of the DF1 project in Scotland. The result for the second quarter of 2006 included net disposal gains of $330 million and fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $149 million.

Reported production for the quarter was 2,517 mboe/d for subsidiaries and 1,287 mboe/d for equity-accounted entities, compared with 2,686 mboe/d and 1,332 mboe/d respectively in the second quarter of 2006. For subsidiaries, the decrease primarily reflects the effect of disposals and entitlement changes in our production-sharing agreements. For equity-accounted entities, the decrease primarily reflects the effect of disposals.

The profit before interest and tax of $12,948 million for the half year represented a decrease of 12% over the same period of the previous year. This included inventory holding gains of $12 million in the first half of 2007 compared with inventory holding losses of $6 million in the first half of 2006. This result was impacted by lower oil and gas realizations, decreasing the result by around $700 million, as well as lower reported volumes, decreasing the result by around $700 million and higher costs of around $1,400 million, reflecting sector-specific inflation, increased integrity spend and higher depreciation charges. The half-year 2007 result included net disposal gains of $815 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $444 million and was after an impairment charge of $112 million. The first half of 2006 included net disposal gains of $339 million and was after net fair value losses on embedded derivatives of $246 million.

Reported production for the half year was 2,588 mboe/d for subsidiaries and 1,269 mboe/d for equity-accounted entities compared with 2,706 mboe/d and 1,320 mboe/d respectively in the first half of 2006. The decrease for subsidiaries primarily reflects the effect of disposals and entitlement changes in our production-sharing agreements. For equity-accounted entities, the decrease primarily reflects the effect of disposals.

During the quarter, we had first production from the Rosa project in Angola, where BP holds a 16.67% working interest. Also in Angola, we made our 14th discovery in Block 31 (Cordelia). Additionally, we announced the Isabela discovery in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

In May, we signed agreements with Occidental Petroleum Corporation to dispose of our 100% interest in the West Texas pipeline system and our interests in non-core Permian assets in the US. In exchange, BP acquired a 42% interest in the Badin field in Pakistan and a 331/3% interest in Horn Mountain in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and received a cash payment. Separately, in April, we divested our interest in the Entrada field in the Gulf of Mexico and in June we divested some of our interests in the Kaybob field in Alberta, Canada.

During the quarter, we also announced a major exploration and production agreement with Libya’s National Oil Company, a memorandum of understanding to establish a global strategic alliance with Gazprom and TNK-BP and the proposed divestment of TNK-BP’s interests in the Kovytka gas project.

(a) Profit from continuing operations and includes profit after interest and tax of equity-accounted entities.
(b) Refining availability is defined as the ratio of units which are available for processing, regardless of whether they are actually being used, to total capacity.  Where there is planned maintenance, such capacity is not regarded as being available.  During 2006, there was planned maintenance of a substantial part of the Texas City refinery.
(c) The Global Indicator Refining Margin (GIM) is the average of regional indicator margins weighted for BP’s crude refining capacity in each region. Each regional indicator margin is based on a single representative crude with product yields characteristic of the typical level of upgrading complexity. The regional indicator margins may not be representative of the margins achieved by BP in any period because of BP’s particular refinery configurations and crude and product slate.

Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products   5,675   5,557   5,735   5,794  

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended 30 June 2007 were $64 billion compared with $63 billion for the same period in the prior year. Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products increased by $2 billion due to higher volumes of around $2 billion and a positive foreign exchange impact of around $1 billion, partly offset by lower prices of $1 billion. Sales of crude oil through spot and term contracts increased by less than $1 billion due to higher volumes. Other sales decreased by $1 billion primarily due to lower volumes.

Sales and other operating revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were $117 billion compared with $118 billion for the same period in the prior year. Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products increased by $2 billion due to a positive foreign exchange impact of $3 billion, partly offset by lower prices of around $1 billion. Sales of crude oil through spot and term contracts were broadly flat. Other sales decreased by around $2 billion due to lower volumes of around $3 billion, partly offset by a positive foreign exchange impact of around $1 billion.

The profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $3,981 million and $5,110 million respectively. This included inventory holding gains of $1,241 million and $1,532 million respectively. The results in the equivalent periods of 2006 were $3,492 million and $5,530 million respectively and included inventory holding gains of $1,136 million and $1,562 million.

The result for the second quarter of 2007 included disposal gains of $1,025 million primarily related to the sale of the Coryton refinery, which completed on 31 May 2007, and the sale of the US West Texas pipeline system to Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and was after an impairment charge of $258 million. The result for the second quarter of 2006 included net disposal gains of $147 million and was after an impairment charge of $35 million and a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation.

The result for the first half of 2007 included net disposal gains of $1,026 million and was after impairment and other charges of $488 million. The result for the first half of 2006 included net disposal gains of $711 million and was after a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation and an impairment charge of $35 million.

Compared with 2006, both the second quarter and half-year results benefited from significantly stronger refining margins (particularly in the US), partially offset by lower supply optimization benefits, which increased the result by around $100 million and $50 million respectively; marketing margins were also stronger, increasing the result by around $400 million and $650 million respectively. However, these benefits were more than offset by the impact of operational issues and scheduled turnarounds at a number of our refineries in the US, reducing the result by around $600 million and $650 million respectively. Compared with 2006, the second quarter and first half results reflect higher integrity management and refinery turnaround costs, decreasing the result by around $250 million and $450 million respectively.

Non-GAAP information on fair value accounting effects is set out on page 13.

Refining throughputs for the quarter and half year were 2,128 mb/d and 2,180 mb/d respectively, compared with 2,289 mb/d and 2,156 mb/d for the same periods last year. The lower throughputs were mainly due to the outages in our Mid West US refineries and were only partially offset by the benefits of the ongoing recommissioning at the Texas City refinery.

REFINING AND MARKETING (concluded)

Operational issues at the Whiting refinery in the US have limited the site’s throughput and ability to make low- sulphur gasoline from sour crude oil.  Repairs are ongoing and we expect to resume sour crude processing in the fourth quarter of 2007 and to restore the refinery to its full flexibility and crude capacity in the first half of 2008.

Marketing sales were 3,808 mb/d for the quarter and 3,788 mb/d for the half year, slightly lower than the comparative periods in the previous year, mainly due to divestments and lower European heating oil demand as a result of milder weather.

On 26 June 2007, BP, Associated British Foods and DuPont announced investment of $400 million in the construction of a world-scale bioethanol plant with expected annual production capacity of some 420 million litres from wheat feedstock, to be commissioned in late 2009. On 29 June 2007, BP announced a joint venture with D1 Oils plc, a UK-based global producer of biodiesel, for the development of jatropha as a new energy crop.

GAS, POWER AND RENEWABLES (concluded)

The profit before interest and tax for the second quarter was $235 million compared with $463 million a year ago. This included inventory holding gains of $45 million compared with $10 million in the second quarter of 2006. The result for the second quarter of 2007 included fair value losses of $23 million on embedded derivatives related to long-term gas contracts and was after an impairment charge of $15 million. The corresponding period in 2006 included net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $107 million.

The profit before interest and tax for the first half of 2007 was $441 million compared with $701 million a year ago. The first half of 2007 included inventory holding gains of $45 million compared with an inventory holding loss of $53 million in the first half of 2006. The first half of 2007 included net disposal gains of $4 million was after net fair value losses on embedded derivatives of $16 million and an impairment charge of $15 million. The first half of 2006 included net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $52 million.

The second quarter result decreased by 49% over the second quarter of 2006 and the first half result was also lower. The results for both periods were impacted by weaker contributions from the gas trading and marketing business, decreasing profit by around $100 million and $270 million respectively, higher expenditure in the Alternative Energy business, reducing the result by around $40 million and $60 million respectively and a negative impact in respect of fair value losses on embedded derivatives and impairment charges. However, the decreases in the first half of 2007 were partially offset by better operating performance in the NGL business in North America, increasing the result by around $65 million.

Non-GAAP information on fair value accounting effects is set out on page 13.

In May, BP and Rio Tinto announced the formation of a new jointly owned company, Hydrogen Energy, which will develop decarbonized energy projects around the world. The venture will initially focus on hydrogen-fuelled power generation, using fossil fuels and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to produce new large-scale supplies of clean electricity.

The second quarter’s result includes a net fair value gain of $7 million on embedded derivatives and the second quarter of 2006 included a disposal gain of $21 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $5 million.

The loss for the first half of 2007 was $277 million compared with $407 million in the first half of 2006. This included inventory holding gains of $3 million in both periods. The first half of 2007 included net disposal gains of $31 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $10 million. The first half of 2006 included net disposal gains of $22 million and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $13 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Non-GAAP information on fair value accounting effects
BP uses derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products as well as certain contracts to supply physical volumes at future dates. Under IFRS, these inventories and contracts are recorded at historic cost and on an accruals basis respectively. The related derivative instruments, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in income because hedge accounting is either not permitted or not followed, principally due to the impracticality of effectiveness testing requirements. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses occur. Gains and losses on these inventories and contracts are not recognized until the commodity is sold in a subsequent accounting period. Gains and losses on the related derivative commodity contracts are recognized in the income statement from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into on a fair value basis using forward prices consistent with the contract maturity.

IFRS requires that inventory held for trading be recorded at its fair value using period end spot prices whereas any related derivative commodity instruments are required to be recorded at values based on forward prices consistent with the contract maturity. Depending on market conditions, these forward prices can be either higher or lower than spot prices resulting in measurement differences.

The Gas, Power and Renewables business enters into contracts for pipelines and storage capacity which, under IFRS, are recorded on an accruals basis. These contracts are risk managed using a variety of derivative instruments which are fair valued under IFRS. This results in measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses.

The way that BP manages the economic exposures described above, and measures performance internally, differs from the way these activities are measured under IFRS. BP calculates this difference by comparing the IFRS result with management’s internal measure of performance, under which the inventory and the supply and capacity contracts in question are valued based on fair value using relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period. We believe that disclosing management’s estimate of this difference provides useful information for investors because it enables investors to see the economic effect of these activities as a whole. The impact of fair value accounting effects, relative to management’s internal measure of performance, is shown in the table below and is non-GAAP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of preparation

The interim financial information included in this Form 6-K has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

The results for the interim periods are unaudited and in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim financial statements and notes included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended 31 December 2006 included in BP’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BP prepares its Annual Report and Accounts on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use by the European Union (EU). The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts 2007, which do not differ significantly from those used in the Annual Report and Accounts 2006.

The impact of recently issued accounting standards and interpretations is described below.

Adopted for 2007

In August 2005, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments – Disclosures’ which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. Under IFRS7 the group is required to disclose information about its financial instruments, their significance and the nature and extent of risks to which they give rise. More specifically, the group is required to make specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. In response to this new standard the group expects to make some changes to the disclosures it provides on financial instruments in its Annual Report on Form 20-F 2007. There will be no effect on the group’s reported income or net assets.

Also in August 2005, ‘IAS 1 Amendment – Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures’ was issued by the IASB, which requires disclosures of an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital, whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements, and the consequences of any non-compliance. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 and the disclosures will be included in the Annual Report and Accounts 2007. There will be no effect on the group’s reported income or net assets.

The group has also adopted two International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations with effect from 1 January 2007:

IFRIC 10 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment’ prohibits the reversal of an impairment loss relating to goodwill or certain financial assets made in an earlier interim period in the same annual period.

IFRIC 11 – ‘IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions’ deals with share-based payment arrangements within a group and share-based payment arrangements satisfied by using treasury shares.

There was no effect on the group’s reported income or net assets as a result of adopting these two interpretations.

Not yet adopted

The following pronouncements from the IASB will become effective for future financial reporting periods and have not yet been adopted by the group.

IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ was issued in October 2006 and defines operating segments as components of an entity about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The new standard sets out the required disclosures for operating segments and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. IFRS 8 has not yet been adopted by the EU. BP has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact on its disclosures of adopting IFRS 8.

There are three further IFRIC interpretations in issue, which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the EU.

IFRIC 12 ‘Service Concession Arrangements’ gives guidance on the accounting by operators for public-to-private service concession arrangements. BP has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting this interpretation. This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008.

BP p.l.c. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

IFRIC 13 ‘Customer Loyalty Programmes’ addresses accounting by entities that grant loyalty award credits, e.g. “points” or “travel miles”, to customers who buy other goods or services. Specifically, it explains how such entities should account for their obligations to provide free or discounted goods or services (“awards”) to customers who redeem award credits. They may fulfil their obligations by supplying awards themselves or engaging a third party to do so. The interpretation requires entities to allocate some of the proceeds of the initial sale to the award credits and recognise these proceeds as revenue only when they have fulfilled their obligations. BP has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting this interpretation, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008.

IFRIC 14 ‘IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements, and their Interaction’. IAS 19 ‘Retirement Benefits’ limits the measurement of a defined benefit asset to ‘the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan’ plus unrecognised gains and losses. Minimum funding requirements exist in many countries to improve the security of the post-employment benefit promise made to members of an employee benefit plan. Such requirements normally stipulate a minimum amount or level of contributions that must be made to a plan over a given period. Therefore, a minimum funding requirement may limit the ability of the entity to reduce future contributions. BP has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting this interpretation, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008.

Note 2 – Changes to comparatives

In 2005 the basis of accounting for over-the-counter forward sale and purchase contracts for oil, natural gas, NGLs and power was changed. Certain transactions are now reported on a net basis in sales and other operating revenues, whereas previously they had been reported gross in sales and purchases. This change, while reducing sales and other operating revenues and purchases, had no impact on reported profit, profit per ordinary share, cash flow or the balance sheet.

During 2006, as part of a continuous process to review how individual contracts are accounted for, certain other minor adjustments were identified that should have been reflected in the restatement from gross to net presentation. Though these adjustments are not significant to the group income statement, the amendment has been made to bring the comparatives onto a consistent basis. The comparative figures have been amended to reflect these items as set out below.

Note 11 – Earnings per share

Basic earnings per ordinary share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The average number of shares outstanding excludes treasury shares and the shares held by the Employee Share Ownership Plans.

For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders is adjusted for the unwinding of the discount on the deferred consideration for the acquisition of our interest in TNK-BP. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the number of shares to be issued for the deferred consideration for the acquisition of our interest in TNK-BP and the number of shares that would be issued on conversion of outstanding share options into ordinary shares using the treasury stock method.

Earnings (loss) per share for the discontinued operations is derived from the net profit (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders from discontinued operations of $78 million profit and $25 million loss for the three months and six months ended 30 June 2006 respectively, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares for both basic and diluted amounts as shown above. There is no profit (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders from discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended 30 June 2006.

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements of the BP group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use by the EU, which differ in certain respects from US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP). IFRS as adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). However, the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented would be no different had the group applied IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The following is a summary of the adjustments to profit for the period attributable to BP shareholders and to BP shareholders’ equity which would be required if US GAAP had been applied instead of IFRS.

Consolidated statement of cash flows

The group’s financial statements include a consolidated cash flow statement in accordance with IAS 7 ‘Cash Flow Statements’. The statement prepared under IAS 7 presents substantially the same information as that required under SFAS No. 95 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’; however, as permitted under IAS 7, the group includes payments in respect of capitalized interest in operating activities. Under SFAS 95, these payments are treated as investing activities.

The adjustments to the group’s cash flow statement for the period to accord with US GAAP are summarized below:

The principal differences between IFRS and US GAAP for BP group reporting relate to the following:

(i) Provisions

Under IFRS, provisions for decommissioning and environmental liabilities are estimated using costs based on current prices and discounted using rates that take into consideration the time value of money and risks inherent in the liability. The periodic unwinding of the discount is included in other finance expense. Similarly, the effect of a change in the discount rate is included in other finance expense in connection with all provisions other than decommissioning liabilities. Adjustments to the decommissioning liabilities, associated with changes to the future cash flow assumptions or changes in the discount rate, are reflected as increases or decreases to the corresponding item of property, plant and equipment and depreciated prospectively over the asset’s remaining useful life.

Under US GAAP, decommissioning liabilities are measured based on estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is measured using the expected cash flow approach discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The unwinding of the discount is included in operating profit for the period. Unlike IFRS, subsequent changes to the discount rate do not impact the carrying value of the asset or liability. Subsequent changes to the estimates of the timing or amount of future cash flows, resulting in an increase to the asset and liability, are remeasured using updated assumptions related to the credit-adjusted risk-free rate.

In addition, the use of different oil and natural gas reserves volumes between US GAAP and IFRS until 1 October 2006 (see note (ii) Oil and natural gas reserves differences) resulted in different field lives and hence differences in the manner in which the subsequent unwinding of the discount and the depreciation of the corresponding assets associated with decommissioning provisions were recognized.

Under US GAAP, environmental liabilities are discounted only where the timing and amounts of payments are fixed and reliably determinable.

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

Under IFRS, an expected loss is recognized immediately as a provision for an executory contract if the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. Under US GAAP, an expected loss can only be recognized if the contract is within the scope of authoritative literature that specifically provides for such accruals. The group has recognized losses under IFRS on certain sales contracts with fixed-price ceilings which do not meet loss recognition criteria under US GAAP.

(ii) Oil and natural gas reserves differences

The group’s past practice was to use the UK accounting rules contained in the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting for Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, Production and Decommissioning Activities’ (SORP) for estimating oil and natural gas reserves for accounting and reporting purposes. These rules are different in certain respects from the corresponding SEC rules. In particular, the SEC requires the use of year-end prices, whereas under SORP the group used long-term planning prices. The consequential difference in reserves volumes resulted in different charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) between IFRS and US GAAP.

At the end of 2006, the group adopted the SEC rules for estimating oil and natural gas reserves for IFRS accounting and reporting purposes and the charge for DD&A was calculated on this basis for the last three months of the year. This was a change in accounting estimate and the impact of the change is applied prospectively. Differences in charges for DD&A between IFRS and US GAAP will continue due to the difference in net book values of the underlying oil and natural gas properties.

The adjustments to profit for the period and to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below.

For IFRS reporting, the unit-of-production rate for the amortization of field development costs takes into account total proved reserves, capitalised costs incurred to date, and sanctioned future development expenditure. US GAAP requires the unit-of-production depreciation calculation to be based on development expenditure incurred to date and proved developed reserves. Where production commences before all development wells are drilled, a portion of the development costs incurred to date is excluded from the calculation. The difference, due to these factors, in the group’s charge for unit-of-production depreciation between IFRS and US GAAP is not material.

(iii) Goodwill and intangible assets

As a result of the transition rules available under IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’, the group did not restate its past business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3 and assumed its UK GAAP carrying amount for goodwill as its IFRS carrying amount upon transition to IFRS at 1 January 2003.

Under US GAAP, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets have not been amortized since 31 December 2001. Such assets are subject to periodic impairment testing. The group has goodwill, but does not have any other intangible assets with indefinite lives. Under IFRS, goodwill amortization ceased from 1 January 2003.

The movement in the goodwill difference during all periods presented is the result of movements in foreign exchange rates and differences in the amount of goodwill allocated to certain disposals.

Note 13 US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

During the fourth quarter of 2006 the group completed a goodwill impairment review using the two-step process prescribed in US GAAP. The first step includes a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and the second step is then completed in order to measure the impairment loss, if any. No impairment charge resulted from this review.

The adjustments to profit for the period and to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below.

In accordance with group accounting practice, exploration licence acquisition costs are capitalized initially as an intangible asset and are amortized over the estimated period of exploration. Where proved reserves of oil or natural gas are determined and development is sanctioned, the unamortized cost is transferred to property, plant and equipment. Where exploration is unsuccessful, the unamortized cost is charged against income. At 30 June 2007 and 31 December 2006, exploration licence acquisition costs included in the group’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization were as follows.

(iv) Derivative financial instruments

For IFRS reporting, upon adoption of IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ on 1 January 2005, all cash flow and fair value hedges that previously qualified for hedge accounting under UK GAAP were recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with the offset recorded through equity.

Prior to 1 January 2005, the group did not designate any of its derivative financial instruments as part of hedged transactions under US GAAP. As a result, all changes in fair value were recognized in the income statement. A difference therefore exists between the treatment applied for US GAAP reporting and that upon initial adoption of IFRS associated with those specific derivative instruments. This difference will remain until these individual derivative transactions mature.

Additionally, under IFRS, hedge accounting can be applied to certain centrally-hedged foreign currency exposures. Under US GAAP, hedge accounting can be applied only where the companies between the central treasury and the entity having the foreign currency exposure have the same functional currency.

The adjustments to profit for the period and to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below.

Under IFRS, exchanges of non-monetary assets are generally accounted for at fair value at the date of the transaction, with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. Under US GAAP prior to 1 January 2005, exchanges of non-monetary assets were accounted for at book value. From 1 January 2005 exchanges of non-monetary assets are generally accounted for at fair value under both IFRS and US GAAP.

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

(vii) Pensions and other post-retirement benefits

Under IFRS, the group accounts for its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans according to IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’. Surpluses and deficits of pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are included in the group balance sheet at their fair values each year-end and all movements in these balances are reflected in the income statement, except for those relating to actuarial gains and losses which are reflected in the statement of recognized income and expense. In the past, this treatment has differed from the group’s US GAAP treatment under SFAS No. 87 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Pensions’ and SFAS No. 106 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions’, where actuarial gains and losses were not recognized in the income statement as they occurred but were recognized within income in full only when they exceeded certain thresholds, and otherwise were amortized. This difference in recognition rules for actuarial gains and losses gave rise to differences in periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit expense as measured under IAS 19 compared to SFAS 87 and SFAS 106.

In addition, when a pension plan had an accumulated benefit obligation which exceeded the fair value of the plan assets, SFAS 87 required the unfunded amount to be recognized as a minimum liability in the balance sheet. The offset to this liability was recorded as an intangible asset up to the amount of any unrecognized prior service cost or transitional liability, and thereafter directly in other comprehensive income. IAS 19 does not have a similar concept. As a result, this created a difference in shareholders’ equity as measured under IFRS and US GAAP.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in the balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in other comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. Because the funded status of benefit plans is fully recognized in the balance sheet, a minimum liability will no longer be recognized. Retrospective application of SFAS 158 is not permitted. Upon adoption of SFAS 158, the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of the group’s defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans generally accords with the group’s IFRS accounting. Differences in recognition rules for actuarial gains and losses will continue to give rise to differences in periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit expense as measured under IFRS and US GAAP. The group adopted SFAS 158 with effect from 31 December 2006.

(viii) Impairments

Under IFRS, in determining the amount of any impairment loss, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and goodwill is compared with the discounted value of the future cash flows. Under US GAAP the carrying value is compared with the undiscounted future cash flows to determine if an impairment is present, and only if the carrying value is less than the undiscounted cash flows is an impairment loss recognized. The impairment is measured using the discounted value of the future cash flows. Due to this difference, some impairment charges recognized under IFRS, adjusted for the impacts of depreciation, have not been recognized for US GAAP.

Additionally, under IFRS, in certain situations and subject to certain limitations, a previously-recognized impairment loss is reversed. Under US GAAP, the reversal of a previously-recognized impairment loss for an asset to be held and used is not permitted.

The maximum exposure to loss as a result of the group’s involvement with these entities is limited to the debt of the entity, less the fair value of the ships at the end of the lease term.

The adjustments to profit for the period and to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below.

(xi) Share-based payments

The group adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘Share-Based Payment’ with effect from 1 January 2005 using the modified prospective transition method. Under SFAS 123(R), share-based payments to employees are required to be measured based on their grant date fair value (with limited exceptions) and recognized over the related service period. For periods prior to 1 January 2005, the group accounted for share-based payments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 using the intrinsic value method.

With effect from 1 January 2005, as part of the adoption of IFRS, the group adopted IFRS 2 ‘Share-based Payment’. IFRS 2 requires the recognition of expense when goods or services are received from employees or others in consideration for equity instruments. In adopting IFRS 2, the group elected to restate prior years to recognize an expense associated with share-based payments that were not fully vested at 1 January 2003, BP’s date of transition to IFRS, and the liability relating to cash-settled share-based payments at 1 January 2003.

As a result of the transition requirements of SFAS 123(R) and IFRS 2, there are certain differences between US GAAP and IFRS. For periods prior to 1 January 2005, the group recognized share-based payments under IFRS using a fair value method which is substantially different from the intrinsic value method used under US GAAP.

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

From 1 January 2005, the group used the fair value method to measure share-based payment expense under both IFRS and US GAAP. A difference in expense exists however because the group used a different valuation model under US GAAP for issued options outstanding and not yet vested at 31 December 2004 as required under the transition rules of SFAS 123(R).

In addition, deferred taxes on share-based compensation are recognized differently under US GAAP than under IFRS. Under US GAAP, deferred taxes are recorded on share-based payment expense recognized during the period in accordance with SFAS 109. Under IFRS, deferred taxes are only recorded on the difference between the tax base of the underlying shares and the nil carrying value of the employee services as determined at each balance sheet date in accordance with IAS 12.

The adjustments to profit for the period and to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below.

(xii) Income taxes

Under both IFRS and US GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities recognized in a purchase business combination. IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ typically requires the offset to the recognition of such deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted against goodwill. However, under the exemptions contained in IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’, deferred taxes for business combinations prior to the group’s date of transition to IFRS were not restated in accordance with IFRS 3 and the offset was taken as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity at the date of transition to IFRS. As such, the treatment adopted under IFRS 1 as compared with US GAAP creates a difference related to business combinations accounted for under the purchase method that occurred prior to the group’s date of transition to IFRS.

During the three months ended 30 June 2007, the group recognized the effect of a reduction in the UK corporation tax rate which was substantively enacted during the period. Under US GAAP, the effect of the rate change will not be recognized until the July 2007 enactment date.

The group adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’ with effect from 1 January 2007. Under Interpretation 48, a tax benefit relating to an uncertain tax position is recognized only where it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on underlying technical merits, will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The tax benefit recognized for such a position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized on settlement. Under IFRS, IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ is considered when accounting for uncertain tax positions. Based on facts and circumstances, IAS 37 provides various means for dealing with uncertainty, including the use of probabilities to determine expected values and a most likely outcome approach. Upon adoption of Interpretation 48, the group recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that reduced BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP by $64 million. At 1 January 2007, the group’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits as adjusted to accord with US GAAP was $3,195 million, of which $2,636 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. The classification of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits differs under IFRS and US GAAP. Under IFRS, the group’s liability is included in current tax payable. For US GAAP reporting, a portion of the liability is classified as current based on expected settlements during the next twelve months. The remainder is reported as a non-current liability.

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

The group files income tax returns in many jurisdictions throughout the world. Various tax authorities are currently examining the group’s income tax returns, principally for the years 1998 through 2005. Tax returns for these years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle.  The resolution of tax positions through negotiations with relevant tax authorities, or through litigation, can take several years to complete. While it is difficult to predict the timing of resolution of individual tax positions, the group does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve months. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination for each of the group’s major tax jurisdictions:

  Tax Jurisdiction   Open Tax Years  
 
 
 
  United States   1999 – 2006  
  United Kingdom   1998 – 2006  
  Angola   2000 – 2006  
  Trinidad and Tobago   2000 – 2006  
  Norway   2000 – 2006  

The group includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Liabilities for the payment of penalties and interest at 1 January 2007 amounted to $251 million.

(xiii) Commitment for repurchase of ordinary shares

The group has entered into a contract with a bank to repurchase its own shares on its behalf. Under IFRS this represents a liability to be measured at the amount that is expected to be paid to the bank under the arrangement with the charge taken to equity. Under US GAAP this contract is measured at fair value which is nil.

(xiv) Assets classified as held for sale

Recognition and measurement of assets classified as held for sale (and liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale) under IFRS is substantially equivalent to US GAAP. However, the amounts presented for IFRS reporting differ from those under US GAAP due to differences in the underlying carrying values of the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale.

(xv) Discontinued operations

Under IFRS, a component of an entity held for sale as part of a single plan to dispose of a separate major line of business is classified as a discontinued operation in the income statement.

Under US GAAP, a disposed component of an enterprise is classified as a discontinued operation only where the ongoing entity has no significant continuing direct cash flows and does not retain an interest, contract or other arrangement sufficient to enable the entity to exert significant influence over the disposed component’s operating and financial policies after disposal.

In connection with the sale of Innovene the group has a number of commercial arrangements with Innovene for the supply of refining and petrochemical feedstocks, and the purchase and sale of refined products.

Because of continuing direct cash flows that resulted from activities with Innovene subsequent to divestment, under US GAAP the operations of Innovene were not classified as a discontinued operation but were included in the group’s continuing operations. Under IFRS, the operations of Innovene were classified as discontinued operations.

The following summarizes the income statement reclassifications for 2006 that would have been made if the operations of Innovene were shown in continuing operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 13 – US generally accepted accounting principles (concluded)

Impact of new US accounting standards

Adopted for 2007

Financial instruments
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, ‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’. SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments under SFAS 133 by permitting fair value remeasurement for financial instruments containing an embedded derivative that otherwise would require separation of the derivative from the financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after 15 September 2006. The group adopted SFAS 155 with effect from 1 January 2007. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a significant effect on the group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.

Taxes collected from customers
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF regarding Issue No. 06-3 ‘How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)’. Under EITF 06-3, taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities can be presented either gross within revenue and cost of sales, or net. Where such taxes are significant, EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of the accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amount of any such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. EITF 06-3 is effective for accounting periods beginning after 15 December 2006. The group’s accounting policy with regard to taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities is to present such taxes net in the income statement. The group adopted EITF 06-3 with effect from 1 January 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have any effect on the group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.

Income taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’. Interpretation 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty with regards to income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Upon adoption of Interpretation 48 with effect from 1 January 2007, the group recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that reduced BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP by $64 million. Additional disclosures required by Interpretation 48 are provided in note (xii) Income taxes.

Not yet adopted

Fair value measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for accounting periods beginning after 15 November 2007. The group has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on the group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.

Fair value option
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 ‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115’. SFAS 159 permits an entity, at specified election dates, to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning after 15 November 2007. The group has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on the group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.
