Note 13. Accounting for Buy/Sell Contracts

Millions of dollars

The company adopted the accounting prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty (Issue 04-13), on a prospective basis from April 1, 2006. Issue 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, be combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, when the transactions are entered into "in contemplation" of one another. In prior periods, the company accounted for buy/sell transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a monetary transaction — purchases were reported as "Purchased crude oil and products"; sales were reported as "Sales and other operating revenues."

With the company's adoption of Issue 04-13, buy/sell transactions beginning in the second quarter 2006 are netted against each other on the Consolidated Statement of Income, with no effect on net income. Amounts associated with buy/sell transactions in periods prior to the second quarter 2006 are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income.
