Cautionary Statement
Forward-Looking Statements - Cautionary Statement
This presentation and the associated slides and discussion contain forward looking statements, particularly those regarding progress in delivering the strategy of upstream growth, downstream turnaround and corporate simplification; expected underlying performance of other businesses and corporate; production growth; oil and gas prices; TNK-BP's contribution to BP's results; level of turnaround activity in Refining and Marketing and its impact on volume and costs; likely pressures on marketing and supply businesses from the effects of the global economic downturn; likely charge in other businesses and corporate; effective tax rate; and year-end gearing. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Actual results may differ from those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of factors, including the timing of bringing new fields on stream; future levels of industry product supply; demand and pricing; operational problems; general economic conditions; political stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the world; changes in laws and governmental regulations; exchange rate fluctuations; development and use of new technology; changes in public expectations and other changes in business conditions; the actions of competitors; natural disasters and adverse weather conditions; wars and acts of terrorism or sabotage; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this presentation.

Cautionary Note to US Investors - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as "resources" and "non-proved reserves", that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in our filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in our Form 20-F, SEC File No. 1-06262, available from us at 1 St James's Square, London SW1Y 4PD. You can also obtain this form from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
