EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation


These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Corporation's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of the Corporation, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The Corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method.  Certain reclassifications to the prior period have been made to conform to the 2006 presentation.



2.

Accounting Change for Purchases/Sales Contracts


Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty.”  The EITF concluded that purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another should be combined and recorded as exchanges measured at the book value of the item sold.  In prior periods, the Corporation recorded certain crude oil, natural gas, petroleum product and chemical sales and purchases contemporaneously negotiated with the same counterparty as revenues and purchases.  As a result of the EITF consensus, the Corporation’s accounts “Sales and other operating revenue” and “Crude oil and product purchases” on the income statement were reduced by associated amounts with no impact on net income. All operating segments are affected by this change, with the largest impact in the Downstream.



3.

Accounting Change for Share-based Payments


Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123R), “Share-based Payment.” FAS 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payments to be recognized in the income statement over the requisite service period. The amount of the compensation cost is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the instrument issued. FAS 123R is effective for awards granted or modified after the date of adoption and for awards granted prior to that date that have not vested. In 2003, the Corporation adopted a policy of expensing all share-based payments that is consistent with the provisions of FAS 123R, and all prior years outstanding stock option awards have vested. FAS 123R will therefore not materially change the Corporation’s existing accounting practices or the amount of share-based compensation recognized in earnings.


The cumulative compensation expense associated with share-based payments made in 2005, 2004 and 2003 has been recognized in the income statement using the “nominal vesting period approach.” The full cost of awards given to employees who have retired before the end of the vesting period has been expensed. The use of a “non-substantive vesting period approach” based on the retirement eligibility age is not significantly different from the nominal vesting period approach. The non-substantive vesting period approach is applicable to grants made after the adoption of FAS 123R.




-6-


Incentive Program


The 2003 Incentive Program provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and other forms of award. Awards may be granted to eligible employees of the Corporation and those affiliates at least 50 percent owned. The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued under the 2003 Incentive Program is 220 million. Awards that are forfeited or expire, or are settled in cash, do not count against this maximum limit. The 2003 Incentive Program does not have a specified term. New awards may be made until the available shares are depleted, unless the Board terminates the plan early. Outstanding awards are subject to certain forfeiture provisions contained in the program or award instrument.


As under earlier programs, options and SARs may be granted at prices not less than 100 percent of market value on the date of grant and have a maximum life of 10 years. Most of the options and SARs normally first become exercisable one year following the date of grant. All remaining stock options and SARs outstanding were granted prior to 2002.


Restricted stock awards have been granted in the fourth quarter and the restricted shares were issued in the following first quarter. These shares are issued to employees from treasury stock. The units that are settled in cash are recorded as liabilities and their changes in fair value are recognized over the vesting period. During the applicable restricted periods, the shares may not be sold or transferred and are subject to forfeiture. The majority of the awards have graded vesting periods, with 50 percent of the shares in each award vesting after three years and the remaining 50 percent vesting after seven years. A small number of awards granted to certain senior executives have vesting periods of five years for 50 percent of the award and of ten years or retirement, which ever occurs later, for the remaining 50 percent of the award.


The Corporation has purchased shares in the open market and through negotiated transactions to offset shares issued in conjunction with benefit plans and programs.  Purchases may be discontinued at any time without prior notice.


In 2002, the Corporation began issuing restricted stock as share-based compensation in lieu of stock options. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the price of the stock at the date of grant and has been recognized in income over the requisite service period, which is the same method of accounting as under FAS 123R.  Prior to 2002, the Corporation issued stock options as share-based compensation, and since these awards vested prior to the effective date of FAS 123R, they continue to be accounted for by the method prescribed in APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Under this method, compensation expense for awards granted in the form of stock options is measured at the intrinsic value of the options (the difference between the market price of the stock and the exercise price of the options) on the date of grant. Since these two prices are the same on the date of grant, no compensation expense has been recognized in income for these awards.

No compensation expense was recognized for stock options in the three months ended March 31, 2006, and 2005, as all remaining outstanding stock options were granted prior to 2002 and are fully vested. No income tax benefit was recognized in income during the quarter related to stock options.  Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2006, was $200 million.  The estimated cash tax benefit to be realized for the options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2006, is $70 million.  The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2006, was $230 million and for the balance of outstanding stock options was $3,276 million.

Litigation and Other Contingencies


Litigation


A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits and tax disputes. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a materially adverse effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.


A number of lawsuits, including class actions, were brought in various courts against Exxon Mobil Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries relating to the accidental release of crude oil from the tanker Exxon Valdez in 1989. The vast majority of the compensatory claims have been resolved and paid. All of the punitive damage claims were consolidated in the civil trial that began in 1994. The first judgment from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska in the amount of $5 billion was vacated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as being excessive under the Constitution. The second judgment in the amount of $4 billion was vacated by the Ninth Circuit panel without argument and sent back for the District Court to reconsider in light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Campbell v. State Farm. The most recent District Court judgment for punitive damages was for $4.5 billion plus interest and was entered in January 2004. ExxonMobil and the plaintiffs have appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit. The Corporation has posted a $5.4 billion letter of credit. Oral arguments were held before the Ninth Circuit on January 27, 2006. Management believes that the likelihood of the judgment being upheld is remote. While it is reasonably possible that a liability may have been incurred from the Exxon Valdez grounding, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to reasonably estimate any such potential liability.


In December 2000, a jury in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, returned a verdict against the Corporation in a dispute over royalties in the amount of $88 million in compensatory damages and $3.4 billion in punitive damages in the case of Exxon Corporation v. State of Alabama, et al. The verdict was upheld by the trial court in May 2001. In December 2002, the Alabama Supreme Court vacated the $3.5 billion jury verdict. The case was retried and in November 2003, a state district court jury in Montgomery, Alabama, returned a verdict against Exxon Mobil Corporation. The verdict included $63.5 million in compensatory damages and $11.8 billion in punitive damages. In March 2004, the district court judge reduced the amount of punitive damages to $3.5 billion. ExxonMobil believes the judgment is not justified by the evidence, that any punitive damage award is not justified by either the facts or the law, and that the amount of the award is grossly excessive and unconstitutional. ExxonMobil has appealed the decision to the Alabama Supreme Court. Management believes that the likelihood of the judgment being upheld is remote. While it is reasonably possible that a liability may have been incurred by ExxonMobil from this dispute over royalties, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to reasonably estimate any such potential liability. In May 2004, the Corporation posted a $4.5 billion supersedeas bond as required by Alabama law to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. The Corporation has pledged to the issuer of the bond collateral consisting of cash and short-term, high-quality securities with an aggregate value of approximately $4.6 billion. This collateral is reported as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the terms of the pledge agreement, the Corporation is entitled to receive the income generated from the cash and securities and to make investment decisions, but is restricted from using the pledged cash and securities for any other purpose until such time the bond is canceled.

In 2001, a Louisiana state court jury awarded compensatory damages of $56 million and punitive damages of $1 billion to a landowner for damage caused by a third party that leased the property from the landowner. The third party provided pipe cleaning and storage services for the Corporation and other entities. The Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reduced the punitive damage award to $112 million in 2005. The Corporation appealed this decision to the Louisiana Supreme Court which, in March 2006, refused to hear the appeal. ExxonMobil has paid the compensatory damage award and is preparing to appeal the punitive damage award to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Corporation is seeking to stay payment of the punitive damage award pending the outcome of its appeal. The Corporation has fully accrued for this potential liability.


In Allapattah v. Exxon, a jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida determined in 2001 that a class of Exxon dealers between March 1983 and August 1994 had been overcharged for gasoline. In June 2003, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment and in March 2004, denied a petition for Rehearing En Banc. In October 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court granted review as to whether the class in the District Court judgment should include members that individually do not satisfy the $50,000 minimum amount-in-controversy requirement in federal court. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision to grant review of only part of ExxonMobil’s appeal, the Corporation took an after-tax charge of $550 million in the third quarter of 2004 reflecting the estimated liability, after considering potential set-offs and defenses for the claims under review by the Supreme Court. In June 2005, the Supreme Court granted the District Court the right to hear the claims of all class members and the Corporation took an after-tax charge of $200 million. The District Court has given final approval of a settlement of $1,075 million, pre-tax, which will be paid in May. This obligation has been fully accrued.


Tax issues for 1986 to 1993 remain pending before the U.S. Tax Court. The ultimate resolution of these issues is not expected to have a materially adverse effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31, 2006, for $4,254 million, primarily relating to ExxonMobil's guarantees of obligations of equity companies for notes, loans and other liabilities.


Additionally, the Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. The Corporation's outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at March 31, 2006 were similar to those at the prior year-end period. Unconditional purchase obligations as defined by accounting standards are those long-term commitments that are noncancelable or cancelable only under certain conditions, and that third parties have used to secure financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods or services.


The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.

REVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER 2006 RESULTS


Exxon Mobil Corporation reported first quarter 2006 net income of $8,400 million ($1.37 per share), an increase of $540 million from the first quarter of 2005.  Higher crude oil and natural gas realizations and improved marketing margins were partly offset by lower chemical margins and litigation and tax items.  First quarter 2005 net income included a $460 million gain from the sale of ExxonMobil's interest in Sinopec.

Upstream earnings were $6,383 million, up $1,329 million from the first quarter of 2005.  On an oil-equivalent basis, production increased by 5 percent from the first quarter of 2005.  Excluding the impact of divestments and entitlements, production increased 7 percent.


Liquids production of 2,696 kbd (thousands of barrels per day) was 152 kbd higher.  Higher production from projects in West Africa and increased volumes in Abu Dhabi were partly offset by mature field decline, and the impact of entitlements and divestments.  Excluding entitlement and divestment effects, liquids production increased by 10 percent.



-18-


First quarter natural gas production was 11,199 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day) compared with 10,785 mcfd last year.  Higher volumes from projects in Qatar and increased European demand were partly offset by the impact of mature field decline.


Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,280 million, $73 million lower than the first quarter of 2005.  The combination of a litigation item and higher tax expenses reduced results by over 4 cents per share.  Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $5,103 million, up $1,402 million from 2005.  Higher realizations were partly offset by negative foreign exchange impacts.

Downstream earnings of $1,271 million increased due to higher marketing margins, improved refining operations and positive foreign exchange effects, offset by the absence of the $310 million Sinopec gain in the first quarter of 2005.  Petroleum product sales were 7,865 kbd, 364 kbd lower than last year's first quarter, primarily due to lower refining throughput and divestments.


U.S. Downstream earnings were $679 million, up $34 million.  Non-U.S. Downstream earnings of $592 million increased $94 million, after the absence of the $310 million Sinopec gain in the first quarter of 2005.

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe

it is useful for investors to consider asset sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating

activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities.


Total cash and cash equivalents, including the $4.6 billion of restricted cash, was $36.5 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2006.


Cash provided by operating activities totaled $14,631 million for the first three months of 2006 and increased $1,663 million.  Major sources of funds were net income of $8,400 million and non-cash provisions of $2,644 million for depreciation and depletion.  For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 5.


Investing activities for the first three months of 2006 used net cash of $3,503 million compared to $1,086 million in the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment increased $1,017 million to $3,730 million.  Proceeds from asset divestments were $1,403 million lower in 2006 reflecting the absence of the sale of the Corporation's interest in Sinopec in 2005.


Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first three months of 2006 of $15.0 billion, including asset sales of $0.4 billion, increased from 2005 as higher cash from operating activities more than offset the lower proceeds from asset sales.


Net cash used in financing activities of $8,002 million in the first three months of 2006 compared to $5,003 million in the 2005 period reflecting a higher level of purchases of shares of ExxonMobil stock.


During the first quarter of 2006, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 99 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $6.0 billion.  These purchases included $5.0 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding and the balance to offset shares issued in conjunction with the company benefits plans and programs.  As a consequence of the continued strengthening of our financial position, the Corporation intends to increase share purchases to $6.0 billion to reduce shares outstanding in the second quarter.  Shares outstanding were reduced from 6,133 million at the end of the fourth quarter to 6,050 million at the end of the first quarter.  Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.



-20-


The Corporation distributed a total of $7.0 billion to shareholders in the first quarter through dividends of $2.0 billion and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding of $5.0 billion, an increase of 67 percent versus the first quarter of 2005.


Total debt of $8.0 billion at March 31, 2006 was comparable to year-end 2005.  The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 6.4 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2006, comparable to year-end 2005.


Although the Corporation issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains a revolving commercial paper program, internally generated funds cover the majority of its financial requirements.


Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade.  Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in either gains or losses.

ExxonMobil continued its active investment program in the first quarter, spending $4.8 billion on capital and exploration projects, an increase of 41 percent or $1.4 billion versus 2005.   In the first quarter of 2006, the results of our continuing long term investment program contributed to a 5 percent increase in production.


Depending on the progress of individual projects, the Corporation expects the level of capital and exploration spending to be about $19 billion in 2006 compared to $18 billion in 2005.

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporation's chief executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer have evaluated the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006.  Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be in this quarterly report is made known to them on a timely basis.  There were no changes during the Corporation's last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.



PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


On April 19, 2006, in a case captioned United States v. Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana accepted a plea agreement reached by Chalmette Refining (a 50-percent owned, indirect subsidiary of the Corporation) with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Chalmette Refining pled guilty on January 25, 2006, to a one-count misdemeanor violation of the Clean Water Act for a negligent discharge of benzene on February 5, 2000, at the Chalmette, Louisiana refinery and was sentenced to and paid a fine of $200,000 on April 19th.  The violation involved a discharge into the Mississippi River that resulted from a leak in a heat exchanger.  When the source of the leak was identified, the heat exchanger was immediately replaced and new procedures implemented to prevent a recurrence.  Chalmette Refining has also agreed to make $25,000 community service donations to the Louisiana State Police Right to Know Fund and to the Southern Environmental Enforcement Network.


Refer to the relevant portions of note 4 on pages 9 and 10 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on legal proceedings.

Note 1 -- On August 1, 2000, the Corporation announced its intention to resume purchases of shares of its common stock for the treasury both to offset shares issued in conjunction with company benefit plans and programs and to gradually reduce the number of shares outstanding.  The announcement did not specify an amount or expiration date.  The Corporation has continued to purchase shares since this announcement and to report purchased volumes in its quarterly earnings releases.  In its most recent earnings release dated April 27, 2006, the Corporation stated its intention to increase share purchases to $6.0 billion to reduce shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2006.  Purchases may be made in both the open market and through negotiated transactions, and purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
