(a)	Excludes Innovene which was treated as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 ‘Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. See Note 3 for further details.

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 December 31, 2005 in BP p.l.c.’s Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The financial information for 2005 has been restated to reflect the following, all with effect from January 1, 2006: (a) the transfer of three equity-accounted entities from Other businesses and corporate to Refining and Marketing following the sale of Innovene; (b) the transfer of certain mid-stream assets and activities from Refining and Marketing and Exploration and Production to Gas, Power and Renewables; and (c) the transfer of Hydrogen for Transport activities from Gas, Power and Renewables to Refining and Marketing. See Note 2 for further details.

In addition, sales and purchases figures for the first and second quarters of 2006 have been restated. The change has been made to present certain contracts on a net basis which were previously shown gross. There is no impact on previously reported profit. See Note 2 for further details.

BP sold its Innovene operations in December 2005. In the circumstances of discontinued operations, IFRSs require that the profits earned by the discontinued operations, in this case the Innovene operations, on sales to the continuing operations be eliminated on consolidation from the discontinued operations, and attributed to the continuing operations and vice versa. This adjustment has two offsetting elements: the net margin on crude refined by Innovene as substantially all crude for their refineries was supplied by BP and most of the refined products manufactured are taken by BP; and the margin on sales of feedstock from BP’s US refineries to Innovene’s manufacturing plants. The profits attributable to individual segments were not affected by this adjustment. Neither does this representation indicate the profits earned by continuing or Innovene operations, as if they were stand-alone entities, for past periods or likely to be earned in future periods. Under US GAAP, Innovene operations would not be classified as discontinued operations due to BP’s continuing customer / supplier arrangements with Innovene.

The third quarter trading environment reflected higher oil realizations and higher retail margins, but lower refining margins and gas realizations. Compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the trading environment reflected higher oil and gas realizations and higher marketing margins. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 the Brent oil price increased $7.97 per barrel, the Henry Hub gas price was down $1.95 per mmbtu and the refining Global Indicator Margin decreased $3.95 per barrel compared with a year ago. For the nine months, the Brent oil price was $13.34 per barrel higher, the Henry Hub gas price was $0.26 per mmbtu higher and the refining Global Indicator Margin was up $0.16 per barrel compared with a year ago.

Sales and other operating revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $69 billion compared with $67 billion for the equivalent period in 2005. The increase in sales and other operating revenues (before the elimination of sales between businesses) for the third quarter reflects approximately $6 billion from higher prices related to marketing and other sales (spot and term contracts, oil and gas realizations and other sales), a net decrease of approximately $6 billion from lower volumes of marketing and other sales and an increase of around $0.5 billion related to higher production volumes of subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GROUP RESULTS JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2006 (continued)

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $6,231 million, including inventory holding losses of $744 million. Profit for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $6,463 million, including inventory holding gains of $2,053 million. Inventory holding gains or losses represent the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the average cost of supplies incurred during the period and the cost of sales calculated using the first-in first-out method.

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2006:

—

includes net gains on sales of assets of $1,985 million, primarily from the sale of a pre-development asset in the Gulf of Mexico in the USA, and fair value gains of $521 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts (these embedded derivatives are fair valued at each period end with the resulting gains or losses taken to the income statement), and is after a charge of $17 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions in Exploration and Production;

—

includes net gains of $92 million on disposals, and is after a charge of $400 million as a result of the ongoing review of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident in March 2005 at the Texas City refinery, impairment charges of $90 million and a charge of $33 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions in Refining and Marketing;

—

includes a net credit of $96 million in relation to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions and net gains of $59 million on disposals, and is after an impairment charge of $69 million and net fair value losses on embedded derivatives of $8 million in Other businesses and corporate.

Furthermore, BP’s share of the TNK-BP result benefited from a gain of $892 million on the sale of its interests in the Urdmurtneft assets.

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2005:

—

is after a charge for impairment of $100 million in respect of a field in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf following the hurricane damage, net fair value losses of $53 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts (these embedded derivatives are fair valued at each period end with the resulting gains or losses taken to the income statement) and net losses of $6 million on disposal in Exploration and Production;

—	is after a loss on disposal of $14 million and a charge of $140 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions in Refining and Marketing;

—	includes net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $91 million and a credit of $6 million related to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions and is after a loss on disposal of $2 million in the Gas, Power and Renewables segment; and

Sales and other operating revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $204 billion compared with $177 billion for the equivalent period in 2005. The increase in sales and other operating revenues from continuing operations (before the elimination of sales between businesses) for the nine months reflects approximately $42 billion from higher prices related to marketing and other sales (spot and term contracts, oil and gas realizations and other sales), partially offset by a net decrease of approximately $14 billion from lower volumes of marketing and other sales, a decrease of around $1 billion from foreign exchange movements due to sales in local currencies being translated into the US dollar and a decrease of around $0.5 billion related to lower production volumes of subsidiaries.

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $19,435 million, including inventory holding gains of $762 million. Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $18,656 million, including inventory holding gains of $3,774 million.

The profit attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes a loss of $25 million from Innovene operations. This includes losses on re-measurement to fair value of Innovene operations of $184 million. The profit attributable to BP shareholders for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes losses of $666 million and $258 million from Innovene operations, respectively. Note 3 provides further financial information for Innovene.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GROUP RESULTS JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2006 (continued)

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006:

—

Includes net gains on sales of assets of $2,324 million (primarily from the sale of a pre-development asset in the Gulf of Mexico in the USA, interests in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets in the USA), and fair value gains of $275 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts, and is after a charge of $17 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions in Exploration and Production;

—

includes net gains on disposals of $803 million and is after a charge of $400 million as a result of the ongoing review of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident in March 2005 at the Texas City refinery, an impairment charge of $125 million, a charge of $33 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions and a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation in Refining and Marketing;

—	includes net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $32 million and net gains on disposals of $4 million and is after a charge of $70 million for the impairment of a North American NGL asset in the Gas, Power and Renewables segment; and

—

includes a net credit of $96 million in relation to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions, net gains of $81 million on disposals and net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $5 million, and is after an impairment charge of $69 million in Other businesses and corporate.

Furthermore, BP’s share of the TNK-BP result benefited from a gain of $892 million on the sale of its interests in the Urdmurtneft assets.

Profit attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2005:

—

includes net gains of $1,061 million on the sales of assets, primarily from our interest in the Ormen Lange field, and is after a charge for impairment of $130 million relating to fields in the UK North Sea, an impairment charge of $100 million in respect of a field in the Gulf of Mexico and net fair value losses of $887 million on embedded derivatives in Exploration and Production;

—

includes net gains of $75 million on the sale of refining, pipelines, retail and marketing assets, and is after a charge of $700 million in respect of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident at the Texas City refinery on March 23, 2005, a charge of $140 million relating to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions, an impairment charge of $41 million and a charge of $33 million for the impairment of an equity-accounted entity in Refining and Marketing;

—

includes net gains of $81 million primarily on the disposal of BP’s interest in Interconnector UK Ltd and the disposal of an NGL plant in the US, net fair value gains of $200 million on embedded derivatives and a credit of $6 million related to new, and revisions to existing environmental and other provisions in the Gas, Power and Renewables segment; and

—

includes net gains on disposal of businesses and fixed assets of $38 million, and is after a net charge of $274 million related to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions and the reversal of environmental provisions no longer required, a charge of $77 million relating to the separation of the olefins and derivatives business and net fair value losses of $10 million on embedded derivatives in Other businesses and corporate.

Finance cost for continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $169 million and $513 million respectively, compared with $144 million and $444 million in the same periods of 2005. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflects higher interest costs partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects higher interest rates and costs, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest. These factors more than offset the absence of costs that were incurred in the nine months of 2005 in respect of the early redemption of finance leases.

Other finance income and expense for continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was a credit of $52 million and $146 million respectively, compared with charges of $37 million and $102 million in the same periods of 2005. The decreases for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflect a reduction in net pension finance costs due to higher return on pension assets due to the increased market value of the pension asset base.

Net taxation for continuing operations, other than production taxes, charged for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4,614 million and $11,169 million respectively, compared with $2,674 million and $7,444 million in the equivalent periods last year. The effective tax rate for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 42.3% and 36.2% respectively, compared with 27.1% and 28.0% for the equivalent periods of 2005, reflecting the retroactive impact of the increase in the North Sea tax rate announced by the UK Government and enacted in July 2006. The effect of this charge on the Group’s effective tax rate is partly mitigated by a sharp decline in prices around the end of the third quarter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GROUP RESULTS JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2006 (concluded)

In addition to the factors above, the decrease in profit for the period attributable to BP shareholders for the third quarter reflects lower gas realization, higher production taxes, lower refining margins, reduced supply optimization benefits, a reduced contribution from gas and power marketing and trading and higher costs, partially offset by the impact of higher oil realizations, strongly improved retail margins, significant gains related to IFRS fair value accounting effects and better operational performance in the natural gas liquids business.

The primary additional factors contributing to the increase in profit for the period attributable to BP shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are lower production volumes, higher production taxes, higher IFRS fair value accounting charges and higher costs, partially offset by the impact of higher oil and gas realisations, higher marketing margins and higher supply optimizations benefits.

Capital expenditure and acquisitions in the third quarter and nine months 2006 was $4.8 billion and $11.8 billion respectively, including $1 billion in respect of our investment in Rosneft. Capital expenditure and acquisitions for the third quarter and nine months 2005 was $3.3 billion and $9.4 billion respectively. Disposal proceeds in the third quarter and nine months 2006 were $2.8 billion and $5.4 billion respectively and in the third quarter and nine months 2005 disposal proceeds were $0.2 billion and $2 billion respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $5.1billion compared with $6.4 billion for the equivalent period of 2005, reflecting higher profit before taxation from continuing operations, lower working capital requirements and higher dividends from jointly controlled entities and associates, more than offset by a higher net credit in respect of impairment and gains and losses on disposal, higher earnings from jointly controlled entities and associates and a lower net credit for provisions, less payments. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 billion compared with $2.9 billion for the equivalent period of 2005, reflecting higher proceeds from the sale of fixed assets and businesses, partially offset by higher capital expenditure.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $23.2 billion compared with $22.5 billion for the equivalent period of 2005, reflecting higher profit before taxation from continuing operations, lower working capital requirements and higher dividends from jointly controlled entities and associates, partially offset by higher taxes paid and a lower net credit for provisions, less payments. Net cash used in investing activities was $5.6 billion compared with $7.2 billion for the equivalent period of 2005, reflecting higher proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets and businesses partially offset by higher capital expenditure.

Net debt at September 30, 2006 was $16.8 billion compared with $16.2 billion at December 31, 2005. The ratio of net debt to net debt plus equity was 16% at September 30, 2006 compared with 17% at December 31, 2005. 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.

On October 24, 2006, BP announced a quarterly dividend of 9.825 cents per ordinary share, to be paid on December 4, 2006 to shareholders on the register on November 10, 2006. Holders of ordinary shares will receive 5.241 pence per share and holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) $0.5895 per ADS. Participants in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan or the dividend reinvestment plan facility in the US Direct Access Plan will receive the dividend in the form of shares, also on December 4, 2006. The Company repurchased 299 million of its own shares during the quarter, at a cost of $3.5 billion. Additionally, shares to the value of $1.25 billion were issued to Alfa Group and Access Renova (AAR) being the last instalment of the deferred consideration for our investment in TNK-BP. During the nine months ended September 30,2006, 1,024 million shares were repurchased at a cost of $12 billion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION (continued)

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $13 billion, compared with $11 billion in the corresponding period in 2005, primarily reflecting an increase of around $1 billion related to higher realizations partly offset by an increase of around $0.5 billion due to higher volumes of subsidiaries.

Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $9,929 million, including net gains on sales of assets of $1,985 million, primarily from the sale of a pre-development asset in the Gulf of Mexico in the USA, and fair value gains of $521 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts (these embedded derivatives are fair valued at each period end with the resulting gains or losses taken to the income statement), and is after inventory holding losses of $6 million and a charge of $17 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions. Furthermore, BP’s share of the TNK-BP result benefited from a gain of $892 million on the sale of its interests in the Urdmurtneft assets. Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $6,535 million, including inventory holding gains of $1 million, and is after a charge for impairment of $100 million in respect of a field in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf following the hurricane damage, net fair value losses of $53 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts and net losses on disposal of $6 million.

The additional factors reflected in the increase in profit for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2005 are higher liquid realisations, offset by lower gas realisations, contributing around $500 million, partially offset by higher production taxes of around $250 million and higher costs of around $600 million, reflecting the impacts of sector specific inflation, revenue investment and production growth.

Production for the third quarter of 2006 was 2,528 mboe/d for subsidiaries and 1,288 mboe/d for equity-accounted entities compared with 2,506 mboe/d and 1,318 mboe/d respectively, a year ago. For subsidiaries, the increase primarily reflects growth in the new profit centres, partially offset by decline in existing profit centres and the effect of disposals. For equity-accounted entities, the decrease primarily reflects lower production from TNK-BP as a result of divestments.

Sales and other operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $40 billion, compared with $32 billion in the corresponding period in 2005, primarily reflecting an increase of around $8 billion related to higher liquids and gas realizations partly offset by a decrease of around $0.5 billion due to lower volumes of subsidiaries.

Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $24,572 million, including net gains on sales of assets of $2,324 million (primarily from the sale of a pre-development asset in the Gulf of Mexico in the USA, interests in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets in the USA) and fair value gains of $275 million on embedded derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts, and is after inventory holding losses of $12 million and a charge of $17 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions. Furthermore, BP’s share of the TNK-BP result benefited from a gain of $892 million on the sale of its interest in the Urdmurtneft assets. Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $18,928 million, including inventory holding gains of $9 million and gains of $1,061 million on the sales of assets, primarily from our interest in the Ormen Lange field, and is after a charge for impairment of $130 million relating to fields in the UK North Sea, an impairment charge of $100 million in respect of a field in the Gulf of Mexico and net fair value losses of $887 million on embedded derivatives.

In addition to the factors above, the primary reasons for the increase in profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are higher oil and gas realizations contributing around $5,400 million, partially offset by a decrease of around $1,400 million due to lower volumes, higher production taxes of around $250 million and higher costs of around $1,150 million, reflecting the impacts of sector specific inflation, increased integrity spend and repairs, revenue investments and production growth.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION (concluded)

In September, we determined that the oil transit lines in the Eastern Operating Area of Prudhoe Bay could be returned to service for the purposes of in-line inspection. We have now returned to service all three flow stations previously shut down, and current production from Prudhoe Bay is around 400,000 barrels of oil and natural gas liquids per day (BP has a 26% interest in the Prudhoe Bay field). We are still committed to replacing the main oil transit lines (16 miles) in both the Eastern and Western Operating Areas of Prudhoe Bay and expect to complete this next year. In addition, BP plans to spend over $550 million (net) over the next two years on integrity management in Alaska. BP has retained three eminent corrosion experts to independently evaluate and make recommendations for improving the corrosion program in Alaska. BP has also asked an independent ombudsman to undertake a review of worker allegations raised on the North Slope of Alaska since the acquisition of ARCO in 2000 to determine if the problems have been addressed and rectified. The effect of reduced production at Prudhoe Bay on average third quarter production was 27 mboe/d.

Offshore commissioning work on the Thunder Horse platform is proceeding. Following a series of tests carried out over the past few months, which revealed metallurgical failures in components of the subsea system, we plan to retrieve and replace all the subsea components we believe could be at risk. This work will be done over the course of the next year and we do not expect production from Thunder Horse to begin before the middle of 2008. It is too early to estimate the additional costs involved in replacing the affected systems.

In our other major projects we continue to make good progress. In Azerbaijan, ACG and BTC continue to ramp up. The Shah Deniz gas field and East Azeri are on track to start up in the fourth quarter. In Angola, the FPSO for the Dalia field is now being moored.

During the quarter, we made a significant oil exploration discovery on the Kaskida prospect in approximately 5,900 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico and in Angola, we announced the Titania discovery, our 11^th discovery in Block 31. In addition we have been awarded the Birbhum coal bed methane licence in India and have reached agreement to acquire acreage in the UK Central North Sea which contains two discovered fields and further exploration potential.

During the quarter, we completed the sale of our remaining Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets which have been subject to pre-emption rights. In July, we completed the sale of our 28% interest in the Shenzi discovery in the Gulf of Mexico to Repsol. To date we have received $3.8 billion of proceeds from our divestment activity in 2006. In August, TNK-BP completed the sale of its interest in the Urdmurtneft assets to Sinopec and we announced the sale of five onshore properties in South Louisiana.

TNK-BP continues to deliver strong performance with production of 950 mboe/d in the third quarter, down about 60 mboe/d from the third quarter in 2005 as a result of the divestment in its interest in the Urdmurtneft assets to Sinopec. TNK-BP’s two licenses covering the Samatlor area have recently been extended by 25 years. TNK-BP continues discussions with the authorities over licence issues relating to Kovykta and more recently on Rospan.

On October 23, 2006, TNK-BP received decisions from the Russian tax authorities in relation to the tax audits of certain TNK-BP Group companies for the years 2002 and 2003. At the present time, BP believes that its provisions are adequate for its share of any liabilities arising from these and other outstanding tax decisions not covered by the indemnities provided by our co-venturers in respect of historical tax liabilities related to assets contributed to the joint venture. However, our review of the decisions is ongoing.

(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 the first nine months 2006, a substantial part of the Texas City refinery was unavailable.

(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.

The changes in sales and other operating revenues are described in more detail below:

		Three months ended September 30 (Unaudited)		Nine months ended September 30 (Unaudited)

		2006	2005	2006	2005

Sale of crude oil through spot and term contracts	- $m	9,714	10,035	30,669	24,875

Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products	- mb/d	5,835	6,054	5,807	6,091

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $61 billion compared with $61 billion for the same period in the prior year. Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products increased by $3 billion due to higher prices of around $4 billion partly offset by lower volumes of $1 billion. Sales of crude oil through spot and term contracts remained flat reflecting higher prices of $1 billion offset by lower volumes of $1 billion. Other sales decreased by $3 billion due to lower volumes of $4 billion and higher prices of $1 billion.

Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $717 million, including net disposal gains of $92 million primarily on the disposal of pipeline assets, and is after inventory holding losses of $786 million, a charge of $400 million as a result of the ongoing review of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident in March 2005 at the Texas City refinery, impairment charges of $90 million and a charge of $33 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions.

Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $3,714 million, including inventory gains of $1,839 million, and is after a loss of $14 million on the disposal of refining, pipelines, retail and marketing assets and a charge of $140 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

REFINING AND MARKETING (continued)

The primary additional factors reflected in the decrease in profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2005 are a reduction of around $320 million in respect of the Texas City refinery, including the impact on associated businesses, a reduction of around $430 million due to lower refining margins, a decrease of around $370 million due to reduced supply optimization benefits as a result of lower market volatility and price differences between different varieties of oil and oil products, and a decrease of around $80 million due to higher refining turnaround activity. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of around $700 million resulting from stronger marketing margins (primarily retail margins) and a higher gain relating to IFRS fair value accounting effects which contributed around $400 million (see paragraph below). The third quarter result reflects the absence of hurricane activity which negatively impacted the third quarter of 2005.

Where derivative instruments are used to manage certain economic exposures that cannot themselves be fair valued or accounted for as hedges, timing differences in relation to the recognition of gains and losses occur. Gains and losses on derivative commodity contracts are recognized immediately through the income statement whilst gains and losses on the related physical transaction are recognized when the commodity is sold. These economic exposures primarily relate to inventories held in excess of normal operating requirements that are not designated as held for trading and fair valued, and forecast transactions to replenish inventory. Additionally, IFRS requires that inventory designated as held for trading is fair valued using period end spot prices whilst the related derivative instruments are valued using 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 quarterly timing differences.

Sales and other operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $179 billion compared with $160 billion for the same period in the prior year. Marketing, spot and term sales of refined products increased by around $19 billion due to higher prices of $24 billion partly offset by lower volumes of around $4 billion and a negative foreign exchange impact due to a stronger dollar of $1 billion. Sales of crude oil through spot and term contracts increased by $6 billion primarily due to higher prices of $8 billion partly offset by lower volumes of $2 billion. Other sales decreased by around $6 billion primarily due to lower volumes.

Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $6,247 million, including inventory holding gains of $776 million and net gains on disposals of $803 million (related primarily to the disposal of BP’s shareholding in Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals Company to Sinopec, the sale of BP’s Czech Republic retail network to Österreichische Mineralöl Verwaltung Aktiengesellschaft (OMV), the sale of BP’s shareholding in Eiffage, the French based construction company, and pipelines assets) and is after a charge of $400 million as a result of the ongoing review of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident in March 2005 at the Texas City refinery, an impairment charge of $125 million, a charge of $33 million in respect of new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions and a charge of $76 million in respect of a donation to the BP Foundation.

Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $7,999 million, including inventory holding gains of $3,440 million and net gains of $75 million on the sale of refining, pipelines, retail and marketing assets, and is after a charge of $700 million in respect of fatality and personal injury compensation claims associated with the incident at the Texas City refinery on March 23, 2005, a charge of $140 million relating to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions, an impairment charge of $41 million and a charge of $33 million for the impairment of an equity-accounted entity.

The primary additional factors reflected in the decrease in profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are a reduction of around $1,400 million in respect of the Texas City refinery, including the impact on associated business, partially offset by higher refining margins contributing around $400 million, a higher gain from IFRS fair value accounting effects contributing around $350 million, higher marketing margins contributing around $300 million and increased supply optimization benefits contributing around $200 million.

Refinery throughputs for the quarter and nine months were 2,287 mb/d and 2,200 mb/d respectively, lower than in the corresponding periods of 2005. This is primarily as a result of the phased start-up of production at our Texas City refinery during 2006. The recommissioning of the Texas City refinery continues, with throughput for the quarter averaging 247 mb/d. Refining availability for the quarter, excluding Texas City, was 96.3%, higher than in the corresponding period last year. Marketing sales were 3,924 mb/d for the third quarter and 3,875 mb/d for the first nine months of the year, compared with 4,044 mb/d and 3,979 mb/d for the corresponding periods in the previous year.

REFINING AND MARKETING (concluded)

During the quarter, BP announced that it has entered the final planning stage of a $3 billion investment in Canadian heavy crude oil processing capability at its Whiting refinery located in northwest Indiana. The intention is to reconfigure the Whiting refinery so most of its feedstock can be heavy Canadian crude oil. Reconfiguring the refinery also has the potential to increase its production of motor fuels by around 15 percent, which is approximately 1.7 million additional gallons of gasoline and diesel per day. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2007 and be completed by 2011, pending regulatory approval.

In addition to the TET physical propane case referred to in BP’s Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for 2005, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is currently investigating various aspects of BP’s crude oil trading and storage activities in the US since 2003 and has made various formal and informal requests for information. BP has provided, and continues to provide, responsive data and other information to these requests. The CFTC is also conducting an investigation into BP’s trading of unleaded gasoline futures contracts in 2002. BP has provided responsive documents and witness testimony. The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois is also conducting an investigation into BP’s gasoline trading. In addition, BP has initiated a review by independent external auditors of the compliance systems in its US trading business.

The US Chemicals Safety Board (CSB) investigation into the incident at the Texas City refinery remains ongoing. However, at a news conference on October 31, 2006, the CSB issued an update on the status of its 20-month investigation into the causes of the March 23, 2005 incident and it also issued recommendations to the American Petroleum Institute (API) calling on the API to amend its guidance related to atmospheric relief systems and to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) calling on OSHA to establish a national emphasis programme promoting the elimination of unsafe systems in favour of safer alternatives. The final report of the CSB is expected in March 2007.

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $5.8 billion compared with $6.6 billion for the same period in 2005. Gas marketing sales decreased by $0.4 reflecting price increases of $0.1 and lower volumes of $0.5 billion. Other sales (including NGL marketing) decreased by $0.4 billion reflecting $1.2 billion related to lower prices and $0.8 billion related to higher volumes.

Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $152 million including a gain on disposal of $5 million, and is after net fair value losses of $20 million on embedded derivatives related to long-term gas contracts and a charge of $70 million for the impairment of a North American NGL asset. Profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $445 million, including inventory holding gains of $98 million, net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $91 million and a credit of $6 million related to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions, and is after a loss of $2 million on the sale of businesses and fixed assets.

The primary additional factors reflected in the decrease in profit before interest and tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the equivalent period in 2005 are a significant reduction in the contribution from gas and power marketing and trading of around $210 million, partly offset by an increase of around $85 million due to better operational performance in the natural gas liquids business, and a lower charge related to IFRS fair value accounting benefiting the result by approximately $140 million.

Sales and other operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $18.5 billion compared with $18.9 billion for the same period in 2005. Gas marketing sales decreased by $1.5 billion as price increases of $1.9 billion were more than offset by lower volumes of $3.4 billion. Other sales (including NGL marketing) increased by $1.1 billion reflecting $0.3 billion related to lower prices and $1.4 billion related to higher volumes.

Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $853 million, including net fair value gains on embedded derivatives of $32 million and net gains on disposals of $4 million, and is after inventory holding losses of $53 million and a charge of $70 million for the impairment of a North American NGL asset. Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,046 million, including inventory holding gains of $98 million and net gains of $81 million primarily on the disposal of BP’s interest in Interconnector and the disposal of an NGL plant in the US, net fair value gains of $200 million on embedded derivatives and a credit of $6 million related to new, and revisions to existing, environmental and other provisions.

Profit before interest and tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects higher contributions from the operating businesses of around $325 million, partly offset by higher IFRS fair value accounting charges reducing the result by around $10 million.

In August, we purchased Greenlight Energy, Inc., a US-based developer of wind power generation projects. The purchase will further accelerate the rapid growth of BP’s wind power business in North America. In Korea, K-power Company Limited (BP 35%) completed construction of a 1,074MW, LNG-fired combined cycle power plant near Kwangyang City, which has begun full commercial operation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

OUTLOOK STATEMENT

World economic growth has been sustained. US economic growth slowed sharply in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, but growth in Europe and Asia has been robust. The near-term global outlook is for slower but resilient growth.

Crude oil prices averaged $69.60 per barrel (Dated Brent) in the third quarter of 2006, similar to the second quarter average and nearly $8 per barrel above the same period last year. After peaking above $78 per barrel in early August prices have declined and in early October were below $60 per barrel. Ample inventories, a perceived lessening of geopolitical tensions, and a lack of hurricane-related disruptions have contributed to the decline. OPEC members have announced an intent to reduce production.

US natural gas prices averaged $6.58/mmbtu (Henry Hub first of month index) in the third quarter, $0.22/mmbtu below the second quarter average and nearly $2/mmbtu below the same period last year. Gas continued to trade at a discount to residual fuel oil. Domestic production growth retained its momentum, and consumption outside the power sector remained sluggish. Gas in storage at the end of September was 12% above the five-year average. Prices should be supported by seasonally rising winter demand.

UK gas prices (NBP day-ahead) in the third quarter averaged 33.72 pence per therm, slightly below the second quarter but 15% above the same period last year. Since the peak in late July, prices fell significantly, facilitated by fewer North Sea maintenance closures, LNG imports, and most recently, the testing of the Langeled pipeline. While prices have increased with the onset of colder weather, Rough storage is full and import capacity has increased, easing most concerns over winter supply availability.

The global average indicator refining margin fell to $8.40/bbl in the third quarter of 2006, down more than $4/bbl versus the second quarter and by a similar amount versus the third quarter last year. Margins were strong in July and August but fell away sharply during September on the end of the US gasoline season, limited hurricane activity and growing product inventory levels. So far in the fourth quarter, margins have averaged around $6/bbl, and should be underpinned in the near term by the autumn refinery turnaround programme and demand for distillates once colder weather arrives.

Retail margins increased significantly in August and September due to a steady fall in the cost of product, leaving average retail margins for the third quarter above the previous two quarters. More stable raw material costs during October to date and an increase in competitive pressures suggest that marketing margins in the fourth quarter are likely to be weaker.

The UK Government’s announced increase in the North Sea supplemental tax rate has been enacted. This increase has two effects; first to create a one-time deferred tax charge and second to increase current tax to reflect the 2006 impact of the higher rate, which is retroactive to the start of the year. The full year aggregate effective tax rate is expected to be around 37%.

Production for the year is expected to be around 2.649 mmboe/d for subsidiaries and 1.301 mmboe/d for equity-accounted entities, lower than in 2005 due principally to divestments and the impact of higher prices on entitlements under Production Sharing Contracts, for subsidiaries, and due principally to divestments for equity-accounted entities. Capital expenditure excluding acquisitions is expected to be around $16 billion for the year. Divestment proceeds are expected to be around $6 billion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of preparation and impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards

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. 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 December 31, 2005 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 used in preparing Annual Report and Accounts 2005 as revised for the following amendments to IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group with effect from January 1, 2006.

‘IAS 21 Amendment – Net Investment in a Foreign Operation’ was issued in December 2005. The amendment clarifies the requirements of IAS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ regarding an entity’s investment in foreign operations. This amendment was adopted by the European Union (EU) in May 2006. There was no material impact on the Group’s reported income or net assets as a result of adoption of this amendment.

The IASB issued an amendment to the fair value option in IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ in June 2005. The option to irrevocably designate, on initial recognition, any financial instruments as ones to be measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in profit and loss has now been restricted to those financial instruments meeting certain criteria. The criteria are where such designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch, when a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and when an instrument contains an embedded derivative that meets particular conditions. The Group has not designated any financial instruments as being at-fair-value-through-profit-and-loss, thus there was no effect on the Group’s reported income or net assets as a result of adoption of this amendment.

In August 2005, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ and IFRS 4 ‘Insurance Contracts regarding Financial Guarantee Contracts’. These amendments require the issuer of financial guarantee contracts to account for them under IAS 39 as opposed to IFRS 4 unless an issuer has previously asserted explicitly that it regards such contracts as insurance contracts and has used accounting applicable to insurance contracts. In these instances the issuer may elect to apply either IAS 39 or IFRS 4. Under the amended IAS 39, a financial guarantee contract is initially recognized at fair value and is subsequently measured at the higher of (a) the amount determined in accordance with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ and (b) the amount initially recognized, less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with IAS 18 “Revenue”. This standard impacts guarantees given by Group companies in respect of associates and joint ventures as well as in respect of other third parties; these are recorded in the Group’s financial statements at fair value.

In addition, in 2006 BP has adopted IFRIC 5 ‘Rights to Interests Arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds’ and IFRIC 6 ‘Liabilities Arising from Participating in a Specific Market - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment’ and has decided to early adopt IFRIC 7 ‘Applying IAS 29 for the First Time’. There were no changes in accounting policy and no restatement of financial information consequent upon adoption of these Interpretations.

The following pronouncements from the IASB will become effective for future financial reporting periods.

In August 2005, the IASB issued IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments – Disclosures’ which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007, with earlier adoption encouraged. Upon adoption, the Group will disclose additional information about its financial instruments, their significance and the nature and extent of risks to which they give rise. More specifically, the Group will be required to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments and its risk exposure in greater detail. There will be no effect on reported income or net assets. The Group has decided not to early adopt this standard for 2006 annual reporting.

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 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007. There will be no effect on the Group’s reported income or net assets.

In September 2006, two further IFRICs were adopted for use in the EU: IFRIC 8 ‘Scope of IFRS 2 Share-based payment’ and IFRIC 9 ‘Reassessment of embedded derivatives’, which are effective for annual periods beginning after May 1, 2006 and June 1, 2006 respectively. Neither of these interpretations will have an impact on the Group’s reported income or net assets.

Note 3 – Sale of Olefins and Derivatives business

The sale of Innovene, BP’s olefins, derivatives and refining group, to INEOS, was completed on December 16, 2005.

The Innovene operations represented a separate major line of business for BP. As a result of the sale, these operations were treated as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. A single amount was shown on the face of the income statement comprising the post-tax result of discontinued operations and the post-tax loss recognized on the remeasurement to fair value less costs to sell of the discontinued operation. That is, the income and expenses of Innovene were reported separately from the continuing operations of the BP Group. The table below provides further detail of the amount shown on the income statement.

In the cash flow statement the cash provided by the operating activities of Innovene in 2005 has been separated from that of the rest of the Group and reported as a single line item.

The period to September 30, 2006 includes a loss before tax of $184 million related to post-closing adjustments and is unchanged since June 30, 2006.

Note 12 - 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.

	19,985,940	21,293,889		20,330,747		21,520,766

Earnings (loss) per share for the discontinued operations is derived from the net profit (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders from discontinued operations of $25 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $666 million loss and $258 million loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 respectively, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares for both basic and diluted amounts as shown above.

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

(i) Deferred taxation/business combinations

Under IFRS, 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 in IFRS 1 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’, previous business combinations were not restated in accordance with IFRS 3 and the offset was taken as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity at the transition date.

Under US GAAP, deferred tax assets or liabilities are also recognized for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities recognized in a purchase business combination. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (‘SFAS’) No. 141 ‘Business Combinations’, requires that the offset be recognized against goodwill. As such, the treatment adopted under IFRS 1 as compared with SFAS 141 creates a difference related to business combinations accounted for under the purchase method that occurred prior to the Group’s IFRS transition date.

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

Property, plant and equipment	3,156	3,459

BP shareholders’ equity	1,835	2,025

(ii) Provisions

Under IFRS, provisions for decommissioning and environmental liabilities are measured on a discounted basis if the effect of the time value of money is material. In accordance with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, the 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.

Upon initial recognition of a decommissioning provision, a corresponding amount is also recognized as an asset and is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital cost of the facilities. 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 economic useful life.

(ii) Provisions (concluded)

Under US GAAP, decommissioning liabilities are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 143 ‘Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations’. SFAS 143 is similar to IAS 37 and requires that when an asset retirement liability is recognized, a corresponding amount is capitalized and depreciated as an additional cost of the related asset. The liability is measured based on the risk-adjusted future cash outflows 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 re-measured using updated assumptions related to the credit-adjusted risk-free rate.

In addition, the use of different oil and natural gas reserve volumes between US GAAP and IFRS (see (iii) below) results 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 are recognized.

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

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

(iii) Oil and natural gas reserve differences

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules for estimating oil and natural gas reserves are different in certain respects from the UK Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting for Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, Production and Decommissioning Activities’ (SORP); in particular, the SEC requires the use of year-end prices, whereas under the SORP the Group uses long-term planning prices. Any consequent difference in reserve volumes results in different charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization between IFRS and US GAAP.

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

(iv) Goodwill and intangible assets

For the purposes of US GAAP, the Group accounts for goodwill according to SFAS No. 141 ‘Business Combinations’, and SFAS No. 142 ‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’. For the purposes of IFRS, the Group accounts for goodwill under the provisions of IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ and IAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’. As a result of the transition rules available under IFRS 1, 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 January 1, 2003.

Under US GAAP, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets have not been amortized since December 31, 2001, rather 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 January 1, 2003.

The movement in the goodwill difference during 2006 is the result of movements in foreign exchange rates and a difference in the amount of goodwill allocated to the Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets sold.

During the fourth quarter of 2005 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.

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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, exploration licence acquisition costs included in the Group’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were as follows.

	At September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)	At December 31, 2005 (Unaudited)

(v) Derivative financial instruments

Under IFRS, the Group accounts for its derivative financial instruments under IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. IAS 39 requires that derivative financial instruments be measured at fair value and changes in fair value are either recognized through current earnings or equity (other comprehensive income) depending on the nature of the instrument. Changes in fair value of derivatives held for trading purposes or those not designated or effective as hedges are recognized in earnings.

Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges are recognized directly in equity (other comprehensive income). Amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Where the hedged item is the cost of a nonfinancial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset or liability.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective as fair value hedges are recognized in earnings. The carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains and losses attributable to the risk being hedged with the corresponding gains and losses recognized in earnings.

On adoption of IAS 39 as of January 1, 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.

Under US GAAP all derivative financial instruments are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 ‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’ and recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Similar to IAS 39, SFAS 133 requires that changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the instrument is designated as part of a hedge transaction. A difference arises between IFRS and US GAAP for cash flow hedges where the hedged item is the cost of a nonfinancial asset or liability. SFAS 133 does not allow the amounts taken to equity to be transferred to the initial carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset or liability. The amounts remain in equity (other comprehensive income) and are recognized in earnings as the nonfinancial asset is depreciated.

Prior to January 1, 2005, the Group did not designate any of its derivative financial instruments as part of hedged transactions under SFAS 133. As a result, all changes in fair value were recognized through earnings. A difference therefore exists between the treatment applied under SFAS 133 and that upon initial adoption of IAS 39 associated with those specific derivative instruments. This difference will remain until the individual derivative transactions mature.

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

(vi) Inventory valuation

Under IFRS, inventory held for trading purposes is re-measured to fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the income statement for the period. Under US GAAP, all balances recorded in inventory are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

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

(vii) Gain arising on asset exchange

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

(viii) Pensions and other postretirement benefits

Under IFRS, the Group accounts for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans according to IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’. Surpluses and deficits of funded schemes for pensions and other postretirement benefits are included in the Group balance sheet at their fair values 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. This treatment differs from the Group’s current US GAAP treatment under SFAS No. 87 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Pensions’ and SFAS No. 106 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,’ under which actuarial gains and losses are not recognized in the income statement as they occur but are recognized within income only when they exceed certain thresholds. This difference in recognition rules for actuarial gains and losses gives rise to differences in periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs as measured under IAS 19 compared to SFAS 87 and SFAS 106.

In addition, when a pension plan has an accumulated benefit obligation which exceeds the fair value of the plan assets, SFAS 87 requires the unfunded amount to be recognized as a minimum liability in the balance sheet. The offset to this liability is 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 creates a difference in shareholders’ equity as measured under IFRS and US GAAP.

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

	Three months ended September 30 (Unaudited)				Nine months ended September 30 (Unaudited)

(ix) 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, SFAS No. 144 ‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets’ requires that 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, certain of the impairment charges recognized under IFRS, adjusted for the impacts of depreciation, have not been recognized for US GAAP.

The decrease to gain on sale of businesses and fixed assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents the impact of a 2005 impairment charge recognized under IFRS but not for US GAAP on certain Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets that were subsequently sold in 2006.

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

(x) Major maintenance expenditure

For the purposes of US GAAP reporting, prior to January 1, 2005, the Group capitalized expenditures on maintenance, refits or repairs where it enhanced or restored the performance of an asset, or replaced an asset or part of an asset that was separately depreciated. This included other elements of expenditure incurred during major plant maintenance shutdowns, such as overhaul costs.

As of January 1, 2005, the Group changed its US GAAP accounting policy to expense the part of major maintenance that represents overhaul costs and similar major maintenance expenditure as incurred. The effect of this accounting change for US GAAP reporting is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $794 million (net of tax benefits of $354 million). This adjustment is equal to the net book value of capitalized overhaul costs as of January 1, 2005 as reported under US GAAP. This new accounting policy reflects the policy applied under IFRS for all periods presented. As a result, a GAAP difference exists in periods prior to January 1, 2005 which reflects the capitalization of cumulative overhaul costs net of the related depreciation charge as calculated under US GAAP.

(xii) Consolidation of variable interest entities

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised) ‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’ (Interpretation 46). Interpretation 46 clarifies the application of existing consolidation requirements to entities where a controlling financial interest is achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Under Interpretation 46, a variable interest entity is consolidated if a company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns.

The Group currently has several ships under construction or in service which are accounted for under IFRS as operating leases. Under Interpretation 46 certain of the arrangements represent variable interest entities that would be consolidated by the Group. 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.

(xiii) Share-based payments

The Group adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘Share-Based Payment’ (SFAS 123R) as of January 1, 2005 using the modified prospective transition method. Under SFAS 123R, 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 January 1, 2005, the Group accounted for share-based payments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 using the intrinsic value method.

Effective January 1, 2005, as part of the adoption of IFRS, the Group adopted IFRS No. 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ (IFRS 2). 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 expense associated with share-based payments that were not fully vested as of January 1, 2003 and the liability of cash-settled share-based payments as of January 1, 2003.

As a result of the transition requirements for SFAS 123R and IFRS 2, certain differences between US GAAP and IFRS have resulted. For periods prior to January 1, 2005, the Group has recognized share-based payments under IFRS using a fair value method which is substantially different from the intrinsic value method used under US GAAP. From January 1, 2005, the Group has used the fair value method to measure compensation expense under both IFRS and US GAAP. A difference in compensation expense exists however because the Group uses a different valuation model under US GAAP for issued options outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2004 as required under the transition rules of SFAS 123R.

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 compensation 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 carrying value of the employee services as determined at each balance sheet date in accordance with IAS 12.

(xiv) 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 (EITF Issue No. 03-13 ‘Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations’), 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.

(xiv) Discontinued operations (continued)

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 will result from activities with Innovene subsequent to divestment, under US GAAP, the operations of Innovene would not be classified as a discontinued operation and would be included in the Group’s continuing operations. Under IFRS, the operations of Innovene are classified as discontinued operations.

The following summarizes the reclassifications that would be made if the operations of Innovene were shown in continuing operations under IFRS.

(xv) 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 being disposed.

The adjustments to BP shareholders’ equity to accord with US GAAP are summarized below:

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 cash outflows for investing activities.

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

	Three months ended September 30, (Unaudited)				Nine months ended September 30, (Unaudited)

Impact of new US accounting standards

Revenue: In September 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF regarding Issue No. 04-13 ‘Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty’ (EITF 04-13). EITF 04-13 addresses accounting issues that arise when a company both sells inventory to and buys inventory from another entity in the same line of business. The purchase and sale transactions may be pursuant to a single contractual arrangement or separate contractual arrangements and the inventory purchased or sold may be in the form of raw material, work-in-process or finished goods. At issue is whether the revenue, inventory cost and cost of sales should be recorded at fair value or whether the transactions should be classified as nonmonetary transactions. EITF 04-13 requires purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another be combined and recorded as exchanges measured at the book value of the item sold. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into and modifications or renewals of existing arrangements in accounting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 04-13 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.

Accounting changes and error corrections: In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 ‘Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3’ (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principle were recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization or depletion for long-lived nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. Previously, such changes were reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in accounting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 15 - US generally accepted accounting principles (continued)

Impact of new US accounting standards (continued)

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). 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 September 15, 2006. The Group has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS 155 on the Group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.

Share-based payments: In February 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-4 ‘Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event’ (FSP 123(R)-4). FSP 123(R)-4 clarifies the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event. Under FSP 123(R)-4, an option or similar instrument with a contingent cash settlement provision is classified as an equity award provided that the contingent event that permits or requires cash settlement is not considered probable of occurring, the contingent event is not within the control of the employee and the award includes no other features that would require liability classification. For entities that adopted SFAS 123(R) prior to the issuance of FSP 123(R)-4, FSP 123(R)-4 is effective for accounting periods beginning after February 3, 2006. The adoption of FSP 123(R)-4 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.

Consolidation of variable interest entities: In April 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FIN 46(R)-6, ‘Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)’ (FSP 46(R)-6). FSP 46(R)-6 clarifies how variability should be considered in applying FIN 46(R). Variability is used in applying FIN 46(R) to determine whether an entity is a variable interest entity, which interests are variable interests in the entity, and who is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. Under FSP 46(R)-6, the variability to be considered in applying FIN 46(6)-6 is based on the design of the entity, the nature and risks of the entity and the purpose for which entity was created. FSP 46(R)-6 is effective for accounting periods beginning after June 15, 2006. The adoption of FSP 46(R)-6 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)’ (EITF 06-3). 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 December 15, 2006. The Group’s accounting policy with regards to taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities is to present such taxes net in the income statement.

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). 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. Interpretation 48 is effective for accounting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Group has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting Interpretation 48 on the Group’s profit as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, or on BP’s shareholders’ equity as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.

Fair value measurements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’ (SFAS 157). 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 November 15, 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.

Impact of new US accounting standards (concluded)

Pensions and other postretirement benefits: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Because the funded status of benefit plans is fully recognized in the statement of financial position, a minimum liability will no longer be recognized. Retrospective application of SFAS 158 is not permitted. The Group will adopt SFAS 158 with effect from December 31, 2006. Upon adoption of SFAS 158, the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of the Group’s defined benefit postretirement plans will generally accord 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 postretirement benefit costs as measured under IFRS and US GAAP. At December 31, 2006, it is estimated that the Group’s shareholders’ equity, as adjusted to accord with US GAAP, will decrease by approximately $3 billion. The actual effects of adopting SFAS 158 will be based on the funded status of the Group’s plans at December 31, 2006.
