EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Corporation, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method.

2. Litigation and Other Contingencies

Litigation

A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a materially adverse effect upon the Corporation's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

On June 30, 2011, a state district court jury in Baltimore County, Maryland returned a verdict against Exxon Mobil Corporation in Allison, et al v. Exxon Mobil Corporation , a case involving an accidental 26,000 gallon gasoline leak at a suburban Baltimore service station. The verdict included approximately $497 million in compensatory damages and approximately $1.0 billion in punitive damages in a finding that ExxonMobil fraudulently misled the plaintiff-residents about the events leading up to the leak, the leak's discovery, and the nature and extent of any groundwater contamination. ExxonMobil believes the verdict is not justified by the evidence and that the amount of the compensatory award is grossly excessive and the imposition of punitive damages is improper and unconstitutional. The trial court denied a post-trial motion that ExxonMobil filed to overturn the punitive damages verdict and entered a Final Judgment in the amount of $1,488 million. ExxonMobil has appealed the verdict and judgment. The appeal is pending before the Maryland Court of Appeals. In an earlier trial involving the same leak and different plaintiffs, the jury awarded compensatory damages but rejected the plaintiffs' punitive damages claims. Those plaintiffs did not appeal the jury's denial of punitive damages. On February 9, 2012, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals reversed in part and affirmed in part the trial court's decision on compensatory damages in that case. The Maryland Court of Appeals granted writs of certiorari to both parties in response to their separate petitions seeking reversals of portions of the Court of Special Appeals' decision. The appeals in both of these cases have been consolidated before the Maryland Court of Appeals. The ultimate outcome of all of this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

Other Contingencies

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at June 30, 2012, for guarantees relating to notes, loans and performance under contracts. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ExxonMobil share

Additionally, the Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. The Corporation's outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at June 30, 2012, were similar to those at the prior year-end period. Unconditional purchase obligations as defined by accounting standards are those long-term commitments that are noncancelable or cancelable only under certain conditions, and that third parties have used to secure financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods or services.

The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.

In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007 a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project. ExxonMobil’s remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets is about $750 million.

On September 6, 2007, affiliates of ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) invoking ICSID jurisdiction under Venezuela’s Investment Law and the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID Tribunal issued a decision on June 10, 2010, finding that it had jurisdiction to proceed on the basis of the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID arbitration proceeding is continuing and a hearing on the merits was held in February 2012. At this time, the net impact of these matters on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. Regardless, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

An affiliate of ExxonMobil is one of the Contractors under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) covering the Erha block located in the offshore waters of Nigeria. ExxonMobil's affiliate is the operator of the block and owns a 56.25 percent interest under the PSC. The Contractors are in dispute with NNPC regarding NNPC's lifting of crude oil in excess of its entitlement under the terms of the PSC. In accordance with the terms of the PSC, the Contractors initiated arbitration in Abuja, Nigeria, under the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act. On October 24, 2011, a three-member arbitral Tribunal issued an award upholding the Contractors' position in all material respects and awarding damages to the Contractors jointly in an amount of approximately $1.8 billion plus $234 million in accrued interest. The Contractors petitioned a Nigerian federal court for enforcement of the award, and NNPC petitioned the same court to have the award set aside. On May 22, 2012, the court set aside the award. The Contractors have appealed that judgment. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation's consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, regardless of the outcome of enforcement proceedings, the Corporation does not expect the proceedings to have a material effect upon the Corporation's operations or financial condition.

6. Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to observable market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The only category of financial instruments where the difference between fair value and recorded book value is notable is long-term debt. The estimated fair value of total long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations, was $9.4 billion at June 30, 2012, and $9.8 billion at December 31, 2011, as compared to recorded book values of $8.9 billion at June 30, 2012, and $9.3 billion at December 31, 2011. The fair value of long-term debt by hierarchy level at June 30, 2012 is shown below:

Level 1 As of June 30, 2012 — Level 2 Level 3 Total
(millions of dollars)
Long-term debt
fair value $ 6,555 $ 2,472 $ 378 $ 9,405

The fair value hierarchy for long-term debt is primarily Level 1 and represents quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 includes debt whose fair value is based upon a publicly available index. The Level 3 amount is primarily capitalized leases whose value is typically determined through the use of present value and specific contract terms.

10. Japan Restructuring

On June 1, 2012, the Corporation completed the restructuring of its Downstream and Chemical holdings in Japan. Under the restructuring, TonenGeneral Sekiyu K. K. (TG), a consolidated subsidiary owned 50 percent by the Corporation, purchased for $3.9 billion the Corporation’s shares of a wholly-owned affiliate in Japan, EMG Marketing Godo Kaisha (previously known as ExxonMobil Yugen Kaisha), which resulted in TG acquiring approximately 200 million of its shares currently owned by the Corporation along with other assets. As a result of the restructuring, the Corporation’s effective ownership of TG was reduced to approximately 22 percent and a gain of $6.5 billion was recognized. The gain is included in “Other income” partially offset by amounts included in “Income tax expense” and “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests”.

The gain includes $1.9 billion of the Corporation’s share of other comprehensive income recycled into earnings (see note 3 below). The gain also includes remeasurement of TG’s shares that the Corporation continues to own to $0.7 billion, based on TG’s share price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Corporation will account for its remaining investment using the equity method.

Summarized balance sheet for the Japan entities subject to the restructuring follows:

Assets
Current assets (1) $ 6,391
Net property,
plant and equipment 4,700
Other assets 989
Total assets $ 12,080
Liabilities

Equity

(1) The aggregate replacement cost of inventories exceeded the LIFO carrying values by $2.4 billion at June 1, 2012.

(2) On June 1, 2012, Japan’s unused credit lines for short-term financing were $1.0 billion.

(3) The accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the Japan restructuring was recycled into earnings. At June 1, 2012, ExxonMobil’s share of accumulated other comprehensive income was a benefit of $1.9 billion, including $2.5 billion related to cumulative translation adjustments offset by $0.6 billion related to postretirement benefit reserves adjustments.

REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

ExxonMobil results for the second quarter 2012 reflect our ongoing commitment to develop and deliver the energy needed to help meet global demand and underpin economic recovery and growth. Despite global economic uncertainty, we continue to invest throughout the business cycle taking a long-term view of resource development.

Second quarter earnings of $15.9 billion included a net gain of $7.5 billion associated with divestments and tax-related items. Excluding these items, second quarter earnings were $8.4 billion.

In the second quarter, capital and exploration expenditures were $9.3 billion.

The Corporation distributed $7.7 billion to shareholders in the second quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.


Earnings in the first six months of 2012 of $25,360 million increased $4,030 million from 2011.

Earnings per share – assuming dilution for the first six months of 2012 increased 25 percent to $5.41.

Total $ 8,358 $ 8,541 $ 16,160 $ 17,216

Upstream earnings in the second quarter of 2012 were $8,358 million, down $183 million from the second quarter of 2011. Lower liquids and U.S. natural gas realizations decreased earnings by $870 million, while lower sales volumes reduced earnings by $330 million. All other items, including gains on asset sales mainly in Angola, increased earnings by $1.0 billion.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased 5.6 percent from the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production was essentially flat.

Liquids production totaled 2,208 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), down 143 kbd from the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, liquids production was down about 1 percent, as field decline was mostly offset by lower downtime and ramp-up of Angola and Nigeria projects.

Second quarter natural gas production was 11,661 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), down 606 mcfd from 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes and divestments, natural gas production was up about 1 percent, as higher demand and lower downtime more than offset field decline.

Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $678 million, $771 million lower than the second quarter of 2011. Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $7,680 million, up $588 million from the prior year.


Upstream earnings in the first six months of 2012 were $16,160 million, down $1,056 million from the first half of 2011. Higher liquids realizations, partially offset by lower gas realizations, increased earnings by $80 million. Lower sales volumes decreased earnings by $1,140 million. Net gains on asset sales, mainly in Angola, were offset by higher operating expenses and unfavorable tax effects.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production in the first six months of 2012 was down 5.5 percent compared to the same period in 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production was down about 1 percent.

Liquids production in the first six months of 2012 of 2,211 kbd decreased 164 kbd compared with 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, liquids production was down about 1 percent, as field decline was mostly offset by project ramp-up and lower downtime.

Natural gas production in the first six months of 2012 of 12,849 mcfd decreased 541 mcfd from 2011. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes and divestments, natural gas production was down about 1 percent, with field decline partly offset by higher demand and lower downtime.

Earnings in the first six months of 2012 from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,688 million, down $1,040 million from 2011. Earnings outside the U.S. were $14,472 million, essentially flat with the prior year.

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider asset sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities.

Total cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.5 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2011.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $29.5 billion for the first six months of 2012, $0.2 billion lower than 2011. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $27.5 billion, an increase of $5.6 billion from the prior year period. The adjustment for the noncash provision of $7.7 billion for depreciation and depletion was essentially flat with 2011. Changes in operational working capital added to cash flows in both periods. These items were partially offset by the net gain on asset sales of $11.1 billion in 2012 and $0.6 billion in 2011. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 6.

Investing activities for the first six months of 2012 used net cash of $9.1 billion, a decrease of $6.8 billion compared to the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment increased $1.3 billion to $16.2 billion. Proceeds from asset sales of $6.2 billion, increased $3.4 billion reflecting the impact of the Japan restructuring. Additional investment and advances decreased by $2.6 billion to $0.4 billion.

Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the second quarter of 2012 of $13.9 billion, including asset sales of $3.7 billion, decreased $0.4 billion from the comparable 2011 period. Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first six months of 2012 of $35.7 billion, including asset sales of $6.2 billion, increased $3.2 billion from the comparable 2011 period.

Net cash used in financing activities of $15.3 billion in the first six months of 2012 was $1.5 billion higher than 2011, mostly reflecting the absence of 2011 net short-term debt issuance.

During the second quarter of 2012, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 60 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $5.0 billion. These purchases were to reduce the number of shares outstanding. Shares outstanding decreased from 4,676 million at the end of the first quarter to 4,616 million at the end of the second quarter 2012. Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

  • 24 -

The Corporation distributed to shareholders a total of $7.7 billion in the second quarter of 2012 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.

Total debt of $15.6 billion compared to $17.0 billion at year-end 2011. The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 8.5 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2012 compared to 9.6 percent at year-end 2011.

Although the Corporation issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains a revolving commercial paper program, internally generated funds are expected to cover the majority of its net near-term financial requirements .

The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade. Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in either gains or losses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include potential for future growth and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both.

Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income tax expense increased by $0.8 billion to $8.5 billion with the impact of higher earnings mostly offset by the lower effective tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 36 percent compared to 45 percent in the prior year period, due to a lower effective tax rate on divestments. Sales-based taxes and all other taxes and duties decreased by $1.7 billion to $18.1 billion reflecting lower prices and the Japan restructuring.


Income, sales-based and all other taxes and duties totaled $54.0 billion for the first six months of 2012, an increase of $0.3 billion from 2011. Income tax expense increased by $0.5 billion to $16.3 billion with the impact of higher earnings mostly offset by the lower effective tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 41 percent compared to 46 percent in the prior year due to a lower effective tax rate on divestments. Sales-based and all other taxes decreased by $0.3 billion.

Capital and exploration expenditures were a record $18.2 billion for the first six months of 2012 as ExxonMobil progresses plans to invest about $37 billion per year over the next five years to help meet the global demand for energy. Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual results, including project plans, costs, timing, and capacities; capital and exploration expenditures; resource recoveries; and share purchase levels, could differ materially due to factors including: changes in oil or gas prices or other market or economic conditions affecting the oil and gas industry, including the scope and duration of economic recessions; the outcome of exploration and development efforts; changes in law or government regulation, including tax and environmental requirements; the outcome of commercial negotiations; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" in the “Investors” section of our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil's 2011 Form 10-K. We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2012, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporation’s chief executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes during the Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
