The group adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with effect from 1 January 2005. Financial information for 2004 has been restated to reflect the adoption of IFRS. BP chose not to adopt International Accounting Standard No. 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' (IAS 39) until 1 January 2005, and so financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, are reported on the basis of UK generally accepted accounting practice (UK GAAP) for 2004. The balance sheet at 1 January 2005 is also presented to show the effect of adopting IAS 39.
(1) Replacement cost profit before interest and tax includes equity-accounted interest and tax. (2) Replacement cost profit is before inventory holding gains and losses.
