(a)  For further  information on replacement  cost profit see Note 5 of Notes to
     Consolidated Financial Statements

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial   statements  provided  elsewhere  in  this  Form  6-K  and  with  the
consolidated  financial statements and related notes for the year ended December
31, 2000  included in BP p.l.c.'s  Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2000. Comparative figures for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2000 have been restated to reflect the transfer of BP's North  American
NGL business from Refining and Marketing to Gas and Power.

The changes in  turnover  for the second  quarter and half year of 2001  reflect
significant increases in Gas and Power and in Refining and Marketing. In Gas and
Power the  increases  are mainly  due to higher  marketing  sales and  increased
trading  activity.  In Refining and Marketing the increases  mainly  reflect the
inclusion  of ARCO for the whole of the six months in 2001,  compared  to around
three months (from April 14) in 2000,  the  acquisition  of Burmah  Castrol from
July 7, 2000 and the  consolidation  of the European  fuels business with effect
from August 1, 2000.  Changes in turnover  also  reflect  movements in price and
other volume changes.

Replacement  cost profit  before  exceptional  items (which  excludes  inventory
holding gains and losses) was $3,032 million for the three months ended June 30,
2001,  compared  with $2,791  million  for the  equivalent  period of 2000.  The
increase  in profit  reflects  the  generally  favourable  trading  environment,
performance  improvements  and the inclusion of ARCO and Burmah  Castrol.  These
results are after  charging  special  items of $159 million  ($114 million after
tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2001,  and $600 million  ($442  million
after tax) for the  equivalent  period of 2000. The results for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are also after charging acquisition amortization of
$653 million and $377 million respectively.  Acquisition  amortization refers to
depreciation relating to the fixed asset revaluation adjustment and amortization
of  goodwill  consequent  upon the ARCO and  Burmah  Castrol  acquisitions.  The
special  charges for the three months ended June 30, 2001  comprised in Refining
and Marketing, Burmah Castrol integration costs of $35 million,  rationalization
costs in the European  commercial  business of $74 million and a bond redemption
charge of $50  million.  Those for the  corresponding  period of 2000 related to
ARCO integration and rationalization costs and an asset writedown.

For the six months  ended June 30,  2001,  the  replacement  cost profit  before
exceptional  items was $6,469  million,  up from  $5,468  million  in 2000.  The
results for 2001 are after charging  special items of $222 million ($159 million
after tax) and acquisition  amortization of $1,297 million. The results for 2000
include   special  charges  of  $640  million  ($472  million  after  tax),  and
acquisition amortization of $377 million.

The  historical  cost profit for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $3,171
million and included  inventory holding gains of $40 million and net exceptional
gains of $171 million  ($99 million  after tax) in respect of net profits on the
sale of fixed assets and  businesses  and  termination  of  operations.  For the
equivalent  period  of 2000  there  was a profit  of  $3,024  million  including
inventory  holding  gains of $213  million,  and net  exceptional  gains of $161
million ($20  million  after tax) in respect of net profits on the sale of fixed
assets and businesses and termination of operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001,  the  historical  cost profit was $6,475
million,  after  inventory  holding  losses of $198  million and  including  net
exceptional  gains of $389 million  ($204  million  after tax) in respect of net
profits on sale of fixed assets and businesses and  terminations  of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the  historical  cost profit was $6,109
million,  after  inventory  holding  gains of $745  million  and  including  net
exceptional  gains of $4 million ($104  million  losses after tax) in respect of
net  profits  on sale  of  fixed  assets  and  businesses  and  terminations  of
operations.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Net taxation,  other than production  taxes,  charged for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 was $1,550 million  compared with $1,289 million in the equivalent
period  last  year.  This  included  a tax  charge of $72  million in respect of
exceptional  items  compared  with a tax charge of $141  million  for the second
quarter of 2000.  The  effective  tax rate on  replacement  cost  profit  before
exceptional  items was 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and 32% for
the half year, compared with 28% and 27% for the equivalent periods of 2000. The
increase in the tax rate is due to the non-deductability for tax purposes of the
acquisition  amortization and the  non-availability of prior year tax credits in
2001.

Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 was $441  million
(including $50 million relating to bond redemption  charges)  compared with $403
million in the equivalent  period of 2000 reflecting  lower interest rates.  For
the first half of 2001 interest expense was $887 million  (including $60 million
relating to bond redemption  charges)  compared to $699 million a year ago, also
reflecting  the full  inclusion  of ARCO in the first  half of 2001 and for only
around  three months in the first half of 2000 partly  offset by lower  interest
rates.

Net cash outflow for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 was $2,136  million,
compared with an inflow of $8,536 million for the equivalent period of 2000. For
the first half of 2001, net cash inflow was $1,080  million  compared with a net
cash inflow of $7,770  million in the same period in 2000.  The  decreased  cash
flow in both  periods in 2001 is  primarily  driven by higher tax  payments  and
capital  expenditure and  significantly  lower  divestment  proceeds (the second
quarter and first half of 2000  included the proceeds  from the sale of the ARCO
Alaska assets).

Capital expenditure in the second quarter of 2001 was $3.8 billion ($3.3 billion
excluding  acquisitions),  up 25% (38%  excluding  acquisitions)  on a year ago.
Capital  expenditure  for the first half of 2001 was $6.3 billion  ($5.8 billion
excluding acquisitions),  an increase of 14% (41% excluding acquisitions) on the
first six months of the previous year. Capital expenditure in the second quarter
and first half of 2001  included  the  acquisition  of Bayer's  50%  interest in
Erdolchemie.  BP expects total capital  expenditure for 2001 to be approximately
$13 billion excluding acquisitions.

Net debt at June 30, 2001 was $18.8  billion.  The ratio of net debt to net debt
plus equity was 20% compared  with 18% at March 31, 2001 and 21% at December 31,
2000.  After adjusting for the fixed asset  revaluation  adjustment and goodwill
consequent upon the ARCO and Burmah Castrol acquisitions,  the ratio of net debt
to net debt plus equity was 25% at June 30, 2001  compared  with 19% at June 30,
2000 and 27% at December 31, 2000.

BP  believes  that,  taking  into  account  the  substantial  amounts of undrawn
borrowing  facilities  available,  the Group has sufficient  working capital for
foreseeable requirements.

The return on average capital  employed for the three months ended June 30, 2001
was 15% compared with 14% for the equivalent  period of 2000. For the six months
ended June 30, 2001, the return on average capital employed was 15%. For further
information on the return on average capital employed calculation see Note 11 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

BP purchased for cancellation  approximately 32 million of its own shares during
the second quarter of 2001 at a cost of $283 million. Total share purchases over
the six months to June 30, 2001 amounted to  approximately  92 million at a cost
of $783 million.

BP  announced a second  quarterly  dividend  for 2001 of 5.50 cents per ordinary
share. Holders of ordinary shares will receive 3.911 pence per share and holders
of American  Depositary Receipts (ADRs) $0.33 per ADS. The dividend for the half
year was 10.75 cents per share, up 7.5%,  which is equivalent to 7.576 pence per
share,  up 15% over last year.  The dividend is payable on September 10, 2001 to
shareholders  on the register on August 17, 2001.  Participants  in the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan or the dividend  reinvestment facility in the US Direct Access
Plan will receive the dividend in the form of shares on September 10, 2001.

BP  intends  to  continue  to pay  dividends  in the future of around 50% of its
replacement  cost profit before  exceptional  items after  adjusting for special
items and acquisition  amortization,  adjusted to mid-cycle business conditions.
Mid-cycle  conditions are our best estimate of likely average prices and margins
over the long term.

BP  announced  a deal with  E.ON in July 2001  which  will  involve  BP taking a
majority stake in Veba Oil which owns Aral,  Germany's  biggest fuels  retailer.
Subject  to  regulatory  approvals,  the deal - in the  form of a joint  venture
between  BP and Veba  Oil's  owner  E.ON -  involves  BP  taking 51 per cent and
operational  control of Veba Oil and offers the  prospect of full  ownership  as
early as the second  quarter of next year.  In return,  E.ON will receive 51 per
cent of Gelsenberg - which holds BP's 25.5 per cent stake in Ruhrgas,  Germany's
leading  gas  distributor  - plus a  balancing  cash  payment  from BP of  $1.63
billion,  subject to  adjustments,  and an  assumption  by BP of $950 million of
debt.  Terms have also been agreed  which could  result in BP  transferring  the
remaining Gelsenberg holding and paying a further $340 million for the remainder
of Veba Oil.

Owing to the  significant  acquisitions  that took place in 2000, in addition to
its reported  results,  BP is presenting pro forma results  adjusted for special
items in order to enable  shareholders  to  assess  current  performance  in the
context of BP's past  performance and against that of its  competitors.  The pro
forma  result,  adjusted for special  items,  has been derived from BP's UK GAAP
accounting information but is not in itself a recognized UK or US GAAP measure.

Replacement cost operating profit for the three months and six months ended June
30, 2001 were $3,441 million and $8,121 million respectively. This compares with
$3,019  million and $6,222  million for the  corresponding  periods in 2000. The
result in 2001 and from April 14, 2000, includes a contribution from ARCO and is
after  charging  depreciation  and  amortization  arising  from the fixed  asset
revaluation adjustment and goodwill consequent upon the ARCO acquisition of $477
million for the three  months and $933 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. For the equivalent  periods in 2000, the amounts were $349 million in each
period. The anticipated ARCO cost savings have been fully achieved.

Total hydrocarbon  production for the quarter was up 4% on the second quarter of
2000,  with natural gas volumes up by 11% and oil production  stable.  Even on a
consistent  current  portfolio  basis,  the increase was 2%. This  continues the
recent  quarterly  achievement of a continuously  improving growth rate. For the
first six months of 2001,  the total  production  was up 9% and on a  consistent
current  portfolio basis the increase was 1%. During the second quarter of 2001,
production started up at the Nile and Mica fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In July
the Tambar field in Norway started production.

Capital  expenditure  during the  quarter was $2.4  billion,  up 57% on the same
quarter in 2000 and $4.3  billion for the half year,  up 78% on a year ago.  The
Kizomba  development in Angola was approved by BP along with developments for an
NGL plant in Egypt and the Milne Point extension project in Alaska. In July, the
Valhall flank development  offshore Norway,  the Azeri Chirag Gunashli phase one
development in Azerbaijan and the Atlas Methanol Plant in Trinidad were approved
by BP.

During the  quarter,  there was a natural gas  discovery at Cashima (BP 100% and
operator)  offshore  Trinidad.  Cashima 1 is the first of four exploratory wells
planned for 2001 offshore Trinidad.  There were also discoveries in Egypt and in
the Gulf of Mexico. In the quarter,  BP (67% and operator)  successfully bid for
one block in the UK Continental  Shelf 19th round,  adjacent to the block won in
the Faeroes in 2000. In addition,  BP signed an agreement to take a 25% interest
in Saudi Arabia's largest gas development, the Core Venture 1 project.

In June,  BP  announced  the sale of its 9.5%  stake in the  Kashagan  discovery
offshore  Kazakhstan.  Shortly after the quarter end, BP acquired a further 9.7%
stake in the Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia.  This increases BP's share of the
project to around 50%.

On January 1, 2001,  the  natural gas liquids  (NGL)  business  located in North
America  was moved to Gas and Power from  Refining  and  Marketing.  Comparative
information has been restated.

The increase in turnover for the second  quarter and half year of 2001 is mainly
due to higher marketing sales and increased  trading  activity.  The replacement
cost operating  profit for the second quarter of 2001 was $173 million  compared
with $114 million a year ago. The result reflects improved marketing and trading
performance  partly offset by pressure on NGL margins.  Profit for the first six
months of 2001 was $285  million,  up $29  million  on the same  period in 2000,
reflecting  the above  factors and, in addition,  growth in natural gas sales in
the first quarter contributed to the result.

During the  quarter,  Heads of  Agreement  were  signed for the  development  of
China's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal at Guangdong.  BP also
submitted an initial investment  proposal on behalf of a consortium to develop a
4,200 kilometre west-east pipeline.

Agreement  has been reached with Statoil to purchase 1.6 billion cubic metres of
gas per annum for 15 years with effect from  October 1, 2001.  This is the first
significant  contract for gas supplies to the UK from the Norwegian  continental
shelf  since the Frigg  contract  in 1977.  In North  America  BP  announced  an
agreement  in  principle   for  a  strategic   alliance  with  the  Energy  East
Corporation,  enabling  the two  parties to pool  their  combined  expertise  in
natural gas acquisition and supply management.

In the USA, BP increased its stake in Green Mountain Energy  Company,  a leading
marketer of cleaner and  renewable  energy,  from 18.5% to 22.9%.  The  original
equity stake was acquired during 2000.

---------------

(a)  The Global Indicator Refining Margin (GIM) is the average of seven 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 turnover  increases in the second  quarter and half year mainly  reflect the
inclusion  of ARCO for the whole of the six months in 2001,  compared  to around
three months in 2000, the  acquisition of Burmah Castrol on July 7, 2000 and the
consolidation  of the European  fuels  business with effect from August 1, 2000.
The replacement  cost operating profit for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2001 was $1,477 million and $2,230 million respectively.  This compares
with $1,183 million and $1,767 million for the same periods in 2000. The results
include  acquisition  amortization of $176 million for the three months and $364
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 and $70  million  for both the
three  months  and half year ended June 30,  2000.  Special  items for the three
months and six months  ended June 30, 2001 were $109  million  and $162  million
respectively. For the second quarter this comprised $35 million of costs arising
from  Burmah  Castrol  integration   activities  and  $74  million  relating  to
rationalization  costs in the European commercial  business.  For the six months
ended June 30,  2001,  special  items  include  $76  million  relating to Burmah
Castrol  integration  and  $86  million  relating  to  the  European  commercial
business.  The main  drivers of the  improvement  in both  periods  were  higher
refining  margins,  the impact of consolidation of the fuels business in Europe,
the Burmah Castrol  acquisition and unit cost  reductions.  The anticipated ARCO
cost savings have been fully  achieved and cost savings  expected as a result of
the  Burmah  Castrol   acquisition  are  on  track.  US  refining  margins  were
particularly  strong for some of the second  quarter of 2001 due to tight supply
in the Midwest and on the West Coast.


Marketing  sales  in the  second  quarter  increased  by 15%  versus  a year ago
reflecting  consolidation  of the European  fuels business (the six months ended
June 30, 2001 showed a 25% increase over the same period in 2000);  this factor,
together  with the  roll-out of BP Connect  stores,  led to an increase in store
sales of 17%,  the  increase  in  marketing  sales was offset in part by reduced
commercial  volumes resulting from the end of the heating season in the northern
hemisphere.  The roll-out of BP Connect  continued  during the quarter with over
155 BP Connect stores now open in the UK, USA,  Australia and New Zealand.  BP's
leadership position in clean fuels continues to grow with BP now providing clean
fuels to 72 cities.

In July BP announced that,  subject to regulatory  approval,  it is to acquire a
majority stake in Veba Oil which owns Aral, Germany's biggest fuels retailer.

Also in July BP announced that it had reached an agreement with Tesoro Petroleum
Corporation to sell the Mandan, North Dakota and Salt Lake City, Utah refineries
in the  USA,  with  associated  storage,  pipeline,  distribution  and  gasoline
marketing operations, for $677 million, excluding working capital. The agreement
is subject to regulatory approval.

(a)  The   Chemicals   Indicator   Margin   (CIM)  is  a  weighted   average  of
     externally-based  product margins.  It is based on market data collected by
     Chem Systems in their  quarterly  market  analyses,  then weighted based on
     BP's product portfolio.  While it does not cover BP's entire portfolio,  it
     includes a broader range of products than BP's  previous  indicator.  Among
     the products and businesses covered in the CIM are olefins and derivatives,
     aromatics and derivatives, linear alpha olefins, acetic acid, vinyl acetate
     monomer  and  nitriles.  Not  included  are  fabrics  and  fibres,  plastic
     fabrications,  poly alpha  olefins,  anhydrides,  engineering  polymers and
     carbon fibres,  speciality  intermediates,  and the remaining  parts of the
     solvents and acetyls businesses.

(b)  Provisional.  The data for the  quarter  and half  year is based on two and
     five months' actual data respectively and one month of provisional data.

Chemicals' replacement cost operating profit for the three months and six months
ended  June 30,  2001  was $9  million  and $90  million  respectively.  For the
corresponding  periods in 2000 the  replacement  cost operating  profit was $320
million and $579  million,  with special  charges of $50 million in each period.
The second  quarter and first half 2001 results were sharply down on a year ago,
reflecting the severe deterioration in the trading environment.  The results for
the second  quarter  and half year 2001  include  $19  million  and $40  million
respectively for restructuring costs.

The first six months of 2001 saw polymer  margins and costs under  pressure from
high  feedstock  and  energy  prices in a period of  demand  weakness.  This was
exacerbated  by  operational  problems at three  crackers  which have since been
resolved.

Production in the second  quarter  benefited  from full ownership of Erdolchemie
from  May 1,  2001,  but was  adversely  impacted  by the  cracker  problems  at
Grangemouth in Scotland,  Lavera in France and Chocolate Bayou in Texas, USA. In
aggregate,  second quarter  production of 5,321 ktes was similar to the previous
quarter and 3% below the same  quarter in 2000.  First half 2001 volumes were 4%
down on the first half of 2000.

In response to the trading environment,  actions are underway to improve returns
by  focusing  the  portfolio,  reducing  capital  expenditure  and  implementing
additional cost reductions.

OUTLOOK

BP believes the oil market remains essentially balanced.  Oil prices have fallen
from their peaks,  but OPEC  production  cuts earlier in the year have prevented
oversupply.  Oil  consumption  is expected to recover  seasonally  in the coming
months. OPEC's actions in regard to supply may support prices within its current
target  price  range.  US natural gas prices have fallen  sharply in the face of
seasonally lower demand and increasing supply, with rapid stock building. Prices
have  returned to levels  close to parity with fuel oil.  Refining  margins have
experienced  volatility as product  inventories  have  recovered and margins are
likely to settle at levels  somewhat lower than recent  historic  highs.  Retail
margins  have  recently  risen but are  likely to  soften  owing to  competitive
pressure.  Chemicals  margins  remain  depressed  as a result of weak demand and
excess capacity.

BP's  focus  is  now on  delivering  profitable  organic  growth,  while  taking
advantage of any  structural  opportunities  that the market  presents.  We will
continue our particular focus on cost and investment  discipline to enable these
plans to be realized within our financial framework.  In the chemicals business,
we are  responding  to the  current  trading  environment  by  reducing  capital
investment in petrochemicals and implementing additional cost reductions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In order to utilize the 'Safe Harbor'  provisions  of the United States  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995,  BP is  providing  the  following
cautionary  statement.  The foregoing  discussion,  in particular the statements
under `Outlook',  with regard to trends in the trading environment,  oil and gas
prices, refining,  marketing,  NGL and chemicals margins,  inventory and product
stock levels, supply capacity, profitability, results of operation, liquidity or
financial position and statements  regarding our targets are all forward-looking
in  nature.  By  their  nature,  forward-looking  statements  involve  risk  and
uncertainty  because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will
occur in the future and are outside the control of BP. Actual results may differ
materially  from those expressed in such  statements,  depending on a variety of
factors,   including  the  specific   factors   identified  in  the  discussions
accompanying such forward-looking statements;  future levels of industry product
supply, demand and pricing;  political stability and economic growth in relevant
areas  of the  world;  development  and  use of new  technology  and  successful
partnering;  the actions of competitors;  natural disasters and other changes to
business  conditions;  and other factors discussed  elsewhere in this report. In
addition to factors set forth  elsewhere in this  report,  the factors set forth
above are  important  factors,  although not  exhaustive,  that may cause actual
results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Additional information,  including information
on factors  which may affect BP's  business,  is contained in BP's Annual Report
and Accounts for 2000 and in the Annual  Report on Form 20-F for 2000 filed with
the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

2001 DIVIDENDS

On August 7, 2001, BP p.l.c.  announced a second quarterly  dividend for 2001 of
5.5 cents per ordinary share of 25 cents (ordinary  shares),  representing $0.33
per American  Depositary  Share (ADS) amounting to $1,236 million in total.  The
record date for qualifying US resident holders of American  Depositary Shares as
well as holders of ordinary  shares was August 17, 2001, with payment to be made
on September 10, 2001.

The  dividend  payable  on  September  10,  2001  entitles   qualifying  US  ADS
shareholders  to a refund  of the  1/9th UK tax  credit  (approximately  $0.037)
attaching to the dividend less a UK withholding tax limited to the amount of the
tax credit. The effect of these arrangements for ADS holders is currently a cash
payment of $0.330,  a gross  dividend for tax purposes of $0.367 and a potential
tax credit of $0.037 per ADS.

There is a Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan whereby  holders of ordinary  shares can
elect to reinvest the net cash dividend in shares  purchased on the London Stock
Exchange.  This  plan is not  available  to any  person  resident  in the USA or
Canada,  or in any  jurisdiction  outside  the UK where  such an offer  requires
compliance by the Company with any governmental or regulatory  procedures or any
similar formalities. A dividend reinvestment facility is, however, available for
holders of ADSs through the Direct Access Plan of Morgan  Guaranty Trust Company
of New York.  Participants  in the  Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan or the dividend
reinvestment  facility  included in the US Direct  Access Plan will  receive the
dividend in the form of shares on September 10, 2001.

(a)  Crude oil and natural gas liquids.

(b)  Henry Hub First of Month Index.

(c)  The Global Indicator Refining Margin (GIM) is the average of seven 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.

(d)  The   Chemicals   Indicator   Margin   (CIM)  is  a  weighted   average  of
     externally-based  product margins.  It is based on market data collected by
     Chem Systems in their  quarterly  market  analyses,  then weighted based on
     BP's product  portfolio.  While it does not cover our entire portfolio,  it
     includes a broader range of products than our previous indicator. Among the
     products  and  businesses  covered in the CIM are olefins and  derivatives,
     aromatics and derivatives, linear alpha olefins, acetic acid, vinyl acetate
     monomer  and  nitriles.  Not  included  are  fabrics  and  fibres,  plastic
     fabrications,  poly alpha  olefins,  anhydrides,  engineering  polymers and
     carbon fibres,  speciality  intermediates,  and the remaining  parts of the
     solvents and acetyls businesses.

(e)  Provisional. The data for the second quarter is based on two months' actual
     and one month of provisional data.

5.   Replacement cost profit

     Replacement  cost  profits  reflect  the  current  cost  of  supplies.  The
     replacement  cost profit for the period is arrived at by excluding from the
     historical cost profit  inventory  holding gains and losses.  These are the
     difference  between  the  amount  that is  charged  to cost of  sales  on a
     first-in,  first-out  (FIFO)  basis of inventory  valuation  and the amount
     charged to cost of sales  based on the average  cost of  supplies  incurred
     during the period.  The former basis is used in arriving at the  historical
     cost result whereas the latter basis is used in arriving at the replacement
     cost result.  For further  discussion of replacement  cost operating profit
     see Item 3 of BP`s Annual  Report on Form 20-F for the year ended  December
     31, 2000.

     Accounting for associated undertakings and joint ventures

     Under the provisions of UK Financial  Reporting  Standard No.9  `Associates
     and Joint  Ventures',  the  Company  includes  its share of the  results of
     associated undertakings and joint ventures (JVs) within various captions in
     the consolidated statement of income. Under US GAAP, the Company's share of
     the after tax profit or loss of associated  undertakings and joint ventures
     would be  recognized  as a single  amount.  The  following  summarizes  the
     reclassifications necessary to accord with US GAAP.

     Derivative instruments and hedging activities

     On January 1, 2001 the Group  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
     Standards  No. 133  `Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
     Activities'  (SFAS 133) as amended by  Statement  Nos.  137 and 138, for US
     GAAP reporting.

     SFAS 133, as amended,  requires that all derivative instruments be recorded
     on the  balance  sheet at their  fair  value.  Changes in the fair value of
     derivatives  are  recorded  each  period  in  current   earnings  or  other
     comprehensive  income,  depending on whether a derivative  is designated as
     part of a hedge  transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge  transaction.
     To the extent  certain  criteria are met,  SFAS 133  permits,  but does not
     require, hedge accounting.

     The Group's  accounting  policies under UK GAAP do not satisfy the criteria
     for hedge  accounting  under SFAS 133.  The Group does not intend to modify
     its practice under UK GAAP.

     In the  normal  course  of  business  the  group is a party  to  derivative
     financial  instruments with off-balance sheet risk, primarily to manage its
     exposure to  fluctuations in foreign  currency  exchange rates and interest
     rates,  including management of the balance between floating rate and fixed
     rate debt. The Group also manages  certain of its exposures to movements in
     oil  and  natural  gas  prices.  In  addition,   we  trade  derivatives  in
     conjunction with these risk management activities.

     All oil  price  derivatives  and  all  derivatives  held  for  trading  are
     currently  carried on the Group's  balance sheet at fair value with changes
     in that value  recognized in earnings of the period.  For those  derivative
     instruments, there is no impact of adopting SFAS 133 on the Group's results
     of operations and financial  position,  as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.
     Certain financial  derivatives used to manage foreign currency and interest
     rate risk that  qualify  for hedge  accounting  under UK GAAP are marked to
     market under SFAS 133. The cumulative  effect of adopting SFAS 133 resulted
     in a pre tax charge to income,  as adjusted to accord with US GAAP,  of $27
     million ($18 million after tax) and a pre tax credit to other comprehensive
     income of $57 million ($37  million  after tax).  The net gain  included in
     other  comprehensive  income  as of  January  1,  2001  is  expected  to be
     reclassified  into  earnings  during 2001.  During the first half of 2001 a
     pre-tax  credit of $34 million  ($22 million  after tax)  included in other
     comprehensive income was reclassified into earnings. Under US GAAP the fair
     values of derivative financial instruments would be shown as current assets
     and liabilities as appropriate.

     Because the Company  does not intend to modify its  accounting  practice to
     satisfy  the  criteria  for hedge  accounting  under SFAS 133,  the Group's
     results  of  operations,  as  adjusted  to  accord  with US GAAP,  will not
     necessarily  be  representative  of the results it would  report if US GAAP
     were used to prepare the consolidated financial statements of the Group and
     the Group sought to meet the hedge criteria of SFAS 133.

     Recently issued accounting standards

     In June 2001 the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards No.141 'Business  Combinations' (SFAS 141)
     and No. 142 'Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets' (SFAS 142). Under SFAS
     141, the pooling of interest  method of accounting is no longer  permitted;
     the purchase  method must be used for all business  combinations  initiated
     after June 30, 2001.  SFAS 142, which is effective for  accounting  periods
     beginning  after December 15, 2001,  eliminates the requirement to amortize
     goodwill and indefinite lived intangible  assets.  Rather,  such assets are
     subject to  periodic  impairment  testing.  Intangible  assets that are not
     deemed to have an indefinite  life will continue to be amortized over their
     estimated useful lives.

     Based on  acquisitions  completed  at June 30, 2001,  it is estimated  that
     application of these new standards  would  increase the Group's  results of
     operations,  as adjusted to accord with US GAAP,  by  approximately  $1,300
     million for the year ended  December 31, 2002,  assuming no  impairment  of
     goodwill.

     Also in June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 143 'Accounting for Asset Retirement
     Obligations'  (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 requires companies to record liabilities
     equal to the fair value of their asset retirement obligations when they are
     incurred   (typically  when  the  asset  is  installed  at  the  production
     location).  When the liability is initially recorded,  companies capitalize
     an  equivalent  amount  as part of the  cost of the  asset.  Over  time the
     liability is accreted for the change in its present value each period,  and
     the initial  capitalized  cost is  depreciated  over the useful life of the
     related asset. SFAS 143 is effective for accounting periods beginning after
     June 15, 2002.

     The provisions of SFAS 143 are similar to the accounting policy used by the
     Group in preparing its financial  statements under UK GAAP. The Company has
     not yet  determined  the  effect of  adopting  SFAS 143 on its  results  of
     operations or shareholders' interest as adjusted to accord with US GAAP.
