Energy with purpose means transforming while performing. Energy with purpose BPX Energy: Delivering synergies We have been transforming BPX Energy, our US onshore oil and gas business, with the purchase of world-class unconventional assets from BHP. • The acquisition gave us access to some of the best basins in the onshore US, with 487,000 acres of leasehold across a new position in the liquids-rich Permian-Delaware basin, and two positions in the Eagle Ford and Haynesville basins. • It positions BP as a top producer in the region. Good progress Since we began operating the assets, we have delivered synergies of $240 million in 2019, above our planned target of $90 million. 130 BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019 Financial statements Consolidated financial statements of the BP group Independent auditor’s reports 132 Group statement of changes in equity 154 Group income statement 152 Group balance sheet 155 Group statement of comprehensive income 153 Group cash flow statement 156 Notes on financial statements 1.

Report on the audit of the financial statements Opinion In our opinion: • The financial statements of BP p.l.c. (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of the group’s profit for the year then ended. • The group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). • The parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice including Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework'. • The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. We have audited the financial statements of BP p.l.c. which comprise the: • Group income statement; • Group statement of comprehensive income; • Group and parent company statements of changes in equity; • Group and parent company balance sheets; • Group cash flow statement; • Group related Notes 1 to 38 to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies; and • Parent company related Notes 1 to 14 to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the group financial statements is applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as issued by the IASB. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the parent company financial statements is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and the parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s (the ‘FRC’s’) Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The non-audit services provided to the group and parent company for the year are disclosed in note 36 to the financial statements. We confirm that the non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the group or the parent company. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Summary of our audit approach Key audit matters The key audit matters that we identified in the current year are as follows: • Potential impact of climate change and the energy transition (impacting PP&E, goodwill, intangible assets and provisions); • Impairment of upstream oil and gas property, plant and equipment (PP&E) assets; • Impairment of exploration and appraisal assets (included within 'intangible assets' in the Group balance sheet); • Accounting for structured commodity transactions (SCTs) within the integrated supply and trading (IST) function, and the valuation of other level 3 financial instruments (potentially impacting all financial statement accounts, in particular finance debt); • IT controls relating to financial systems (potentially impacting all financial statement accounts); and • Management override of controls (potentially impacting all financial statement accounts). Changes in our key These key audit matters are consistent with those we identified in the prior year except that: audit matters since the prior year • This year we identified the potential impact of climate change and the energy transition as a key audit matter, given the significant increase in focus on this issue by management and by external stakeholders, and the potential impact on the financial statements as a consequence. • In our report for the year ended 31 December 2018 we identified the accounting for acquisitions and disposals within the upstream segment as a key audit matter, in large part as a consequence of the accounting complexities surrounding the $10.3 billion acquisition of BHP Billiton assets in the US. During the current year, there were no material acquisitions and there were fewer significant accounting complexities and judgements in the disposal transactions undertaken by BP. Accordingly, we did not identify this as a key audit matter for 2019. Materiality We have set materiality for the current year at $850 million (2018 $750 million) based on profit before tax, profit before impairment charges and tax, and underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax. Scoping Our scope covered 263 components. Of these, 179 were full-scope audits and the remaining 84 were subject to specific procedures on certain account balances by component audit teams or the group audit team. These covered 81% of group revenue and 75% of PP&E.

    Contact: Kevin Thornton FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1-800-331-0085 WAL-MART ANNOUNCES SOLAR POWER PILOT PROJECT Pilot Project marks major step toward its goal of being supplied by 100 percent renewable energy BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 7, 2007 – Today Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT), announced a major purchase of solar power from three solar power providers, BP Solar, SunEdison LLC, and PowerLight, a subsidiary of SunPower Corporation, for 22 combined Wal- Mart stores, Sam’s Clubs and a distribution center in Hawaii and California. As part of a pilot project to determine solar power viability for Wal-Mart, the total solar power production from the 22 sites is estimated to be as much as 20 million kWh (kilowatt-hours) per year. When fully implemented, the aggregate purchase could be one of the U.S., if not the world’s, top-10 largest ever solar power initiatives. “We are taking aggressive steps towards our goal of being supplied by 100 percent renewable energy,” said Kim Saylors-Laster, vice president of energy for Wal-Mart. “The pilot project is yet another example of Wal-Mart’s commitment to making decisions that are good for business and the environment.” “We applaud Wal-Mart's drive to increase its use of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and look forward to the long-term positive impact their efforts will have on our environment,” said Ron Judkoff, director of the Buildings and Thermal Systems Center at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). “Wal-Mart's decision to take advantage of the economic and environmental benefits of solar power and energy efficiency technologies is a great step in the right direction.” The solar power pilot project is a major step toward Wal-Mart’s goal of being supplied by 100 percent renewable energy.

    Transalpine Pass Routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the Strategic Use of Topographic Resources

    Preistoria Alpina, 42 (2007): 109-118 ISSN 09-0157 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources Philippe DELLA CASA Department of Pre-/Protohistory, University of Zurich, Karl-Schmid-Str. ���������������������������4, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources - Using examples from the San Bernardino and the St. Gotthard passes in the Swiss Central Alps, this paper discusses how the existence of transalpine high altitude pass routes can be inferred, even though there is a lack physical evidence, from specific Bronze and Iron Age settlement patterns in access valleys. Particular attention is given to the effect of topography within the territorial and economic organizational area on transalpine tracks and traffic routes. A set of recurring patterns, such as strategic position, natural and/or artificial protection, presence of “foreign” materials, can help identifying (settlement) sites with particular functions as regards traffic and trade within the systems of territorial organization. Moreover, the paper also addresses socio-dynamic issues of the problem of transalpine pass routes. RIASSUNTO - Passi transalpini nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere e uso strategico di risorse topografiche -Usando esempi dal Passo di San Bernardino e dal Passo del San Gottardo nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere, il presente contributo discute come l’esistenza di vie di transito transalpine d’alta quota possa essere dedotta, anche mancando evidenze fisiche, da specifici modelli insediativi dell’età del Bronzo e del Ferro presenti nelle valli di accesso.
