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.

Taxation 269 BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019 131 Consolidated financial statements of the BP group Independent auditor’s report on the Annual Report and Accounts to the members of BP p.l.c. 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.
