Business reviewNon-operating itemsNon-operating items are charges <strong>and</strong> credits arising in consolidated entitiesthat <strong>BP</strong> discloses separately because it considers such disclosures tobe meaningful <strong>and</strong> relevant to investors. They are provided in order toenable investors to better underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> evaluate the group’s financialperformance.

However, the US statutory tax rate has been used for recoveries relating to the Gulf ofMexico oil spill <strong>and</strong> expenditures that qualify for tax relief. In <strong>20</strong>09, no tax credit was calculated onthe goodwill impairment in Refining <strong>and</strong> Marketing because the charge is not tax deductible.Non-GAAP information on fair value accounting effectsThe impacts of fair value accounting effects, relative to management’sinternal measure of performance, <strong>and</strong> a reconciliation to GAAP informationis also set out below.

Business reviewRisk factorsWe urge you to consider carefully the risks described below. The potentialimpact of their occurrence could be for our business, financial condition<strong>and</strong> results of operations to suffer (including through the failure to achieveour current strategic priorities (see ‘10-point plan’ – pages 38-39)) <strong>and</strong> thetrading price <strong>and</strong> liquidity of our securities to decline.Our system of risk management identifies <strong>and</strong> provides theresponse to risks of group significance through the establishment ofst<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> other controls. Any failure of this system could lead to theoccurrence, or re-occurrence, of any of the risks described below <strong>and</strong> aconsequent material adverse effect on <strong>BP</strong>’s business, financial position,results of operations, competitive position, cash flows, prospects, liquidity,shareholder returns <strong>and</strong>/or implementation of its strategic agenda.The risks are categorized against the following areas: strategic;compliance <strong>and</strong> control; <strong>and</strong> safety <strong>and</strong> operational. In addition, we havealso set out two further risks for your attention – those resulting from the<strong>20</strong>10 Gulf of Mexico oil spill (the Incident) <strong>and</strong> those related to the generalmacroeconomic outlook.The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has had <strong>and</strong> could continue to have amaterial adverse impact on <strong>BP</strong>.There is significant uncertainty in the extent <strong>and</strong> timing of costs <strong>and</strong>liabilities relating to the Incident, the impact of the Incident on ourreputation <strong>and</strong> the resulting possible impact on our licence to operateincluding our ability to access new opportunities. There is also significantuncertainty regarding potential changes in applicable regulations <strong>and</strong>the operating environment that may result from the Incident. Theseincrease the risks to which the group is exposed <strong>and</strong> may cause our coststo increase. These uncertainties are likely to continue for a significantperiod. Thus, the Incident has had, <strong>and</strong> could continue to have, a materialadverse impact on the group’s business, competitive position, financialperformance, cash flows, prospects, liquidity, shareholder returns <strong>and</strong>/orimplementation of its strategic agenda, particularly in the US.We recognized a pre-tax charge of $40.9 billion in <strong>20</strong>10 <strong>and</strong> a pre-taxcredit of $3.7 billion in <strong>20</strong>11 as a result of the Incident. The total amountsthat will ultimately be paid by <strong>BP</strong> in relation to all obligations relating to theIncident are subject to significant uncertainty <strong>and</strong> the ultimate exposure <strong>and</strong>cost to <strong>BP</strong> will be dependent on many factors. Furthermore, the amountof claims that become payable by <strong>BP</strong>, the amount of fines ultimatelylevied on <strong>BP</strong> (including any potential determination of <strong>BP</strong>’s negligenceor gross negligence), the outcome of litigation, the amount <strong>and</strong> timing ofpayments under any settlements, <strong>and</strong> any costs arising from any longertermenvironmental consequences of the oil spill, will also impact upon theultimate cost for <strong>BP</strong>. Although the provision recognized is the current bestestimate of expenditures required to settle certain present obligations at theend of the reporting period, there are future expenditures for which it is notpossible to measure the obligation reliably. The risks associated with theIncident could also heighten the impact of the other risks to which the groupis exposed as further described below.The general macroeconomic outlook can affect <strong>BP</strong>’s results given thenature of our business.In the continuing uncertain financial <strong>and</strong> economic environment, certainrisks may gain more prominence either individually or when taken together.Oil <strong>and</strong> gas prices can be very volatile, with average prices <strong>and</strong> marginsinfluenced by changes in supply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>. This is likely to exacerbatecompetition in all businesses, which may impact costs <strong>and</strong> margins.At the same time, governments are facing greater pressure on publicfinances, which may increase their motivation to intervene in the fiscal<strong>and</strong> regulatory frameworks of the oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry, including the risk ofincreased taxation, nationalization <strong>and</strong> expropriation. The global financial<strong>and</strong> economic situation may have a negative impact on third parties withwhom we do, or may do, business. In particular, ongoing instability in or acollapse of the eurozone could trigger a new wave of financial crises <strong>and</strong>push the world back into recession, leading to lower dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> lower oil<strong>and</strong> gas prices. Any of these factors may affect our results of operations,financial condition, business prospects <strong>and</strong> liquidity <strong>and</strong> may result in adecline in the trading price <strong>and</strong> liquidity of our securities.Capital markets are subject to volatility amid concerns over the Europeansovereign debt crisis <strong>and</strong> the slow-down of the global economy. If thereare extended periods of constraints in these markets, or if we are unableto access the markets, including due to our financial position or marketsentiment as to our prospects, at a time when cash flows from ourbusiness operations may be under pressure, our ability to maintain ourlong-term investment programme may be impacted with a consequenteffect on our growth rate, <strong>and</strong> may impact shareholder returns, includingdividends <strong>and</strong> share buybacks, or share price. Decreases in the fundedlevels of our pension plans may also increase our pension fundingrequirements.Strategic risksAccess <strong>and</strong> renewal – <strong>BP</strong>’s future hydrocarbon production dependson our ability to renew <strong>and</strong> reposition our portfolio. Increasingcompetition for access to investment opportunities, the effectsof the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on our reputation <strong>and</strong> cash flows,<strong>and</strong> more stringent regulation could result in decreased access toopportunities globally.Successful execution of our group strategy depends on implementingactivities to renew <strong>and</strong> reposition our portfolio. The challenges to renewalof our upstream portfolio are growing due to increasing competition foraccess to opportunities globally among both national <strong>and</strong> international oilcompanies, <strong>and</strong> heightened political <strong>and</strong> economic risks in certain countrieswhere significant hydrocarbon basins are located. Lack of materialpositions in new markets could impact our future hydrocarbon production.Moreover, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has damaged <strong>BP</strong>’s reputation,which may have a long-term impact on the group’s ability to access newopportunities, both in the US <strong>and</strong> elsewhere. Adverse public, political<strong>and</strong> industry sentiment towards <strong>BP</strong>, <strong>and</strong> towards oil <strong>and</strong> gas drillingactivities generally, could damage or impair our existing commercialrelationships with counterparties, partners <strong>and</strong> host governments <strong>and</strong>could impair our access to new investment opportunities, explorationproperties, operatorships or other essential commercial arrangementswith potential partners <strong>and</strong> host governments, particularly in the US. Inaddition, responding to the Incident has placed, <strong>and</strong> will continue to place,a significant burden on our cash flow over the next several years, whichcould also impede our ability to invest in new opportunities <strong>and</strong> deliverlong-term growth.More stringent regulation of the oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry generally, <strong>and</strong>of <strong>BP</strong>’s activities specifically, arising from the Incident, could increase thisrisk.Prices <strong>and</strong> markets – <strong>BP</strong>’s financial performance is subject tothe fluctuating prices of crude oil <strong>and</strong> gas as well as the volatileprices of refined products <strong>and</strong> the profitability of our refining <strong>and</strong>petrochemicals operations.Oil, gas <strong>and</strong> product prices are subject to international supply <strong>and</strong>dem<strong>and</strong>. Political developments <strong>and</strong> the outcome of meetings of OPECcan particularly affect world supply <strong>and</strong> oil prices. Previous oil priceincreases have resulted in increased fiscal take, cost inflation <strong>and</strong> moreonerous terms for access to resources. As a result, increased oil pricesmay not improve margin performance. In addition to the adverse effecton revenues, margins <strong>and</strong> profitability from any fall in oil <strong>and</strong> naturalgas prices, a prolonged period of low prices or other indicators wouldlead to further reviews for impairment of the group’s oil <strong>and</strong> natural gasproperties. Such reviews would reflect management’s view of long-termoil <strong>and</strong> natural gas prices <strong>and</strong> could result in a charge for impairmentthat could have a significant effect on the group’s results of operationsin the period in which it occurs. Rapid material or sustained change inoil, gas <strong>and</strong> product prices can impact the validity of the assumptions onwhich strategic decisions are based <strong>and</strong>, as a result, the ensuing actionsderived from those decisions may no longer be appropriate. A prolongedperiod of low oil prices may impact our ability to maintain our long-terminvestment programme with a consequent effect on our growth rate <strong>and</strong>may impact shareholder returns, including dividends <strong>and</strong> share buybacks,or share price. Periods of global recession could impact the dem<strong>and</strong> for ourproducts, the prices at which they can be sold <strong>and</strong> affect the viability of themarkets in which we operate.Business review: <strong>BP</strong> in more depth<strong>BP</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Form</strong> <strong>20</strong>-F <strong>20</strong>11 59
