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 2007 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.



2.

Fair Value Measurements


Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value when an entity is required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements.  The initial application of FAS 157 is limited to the Corporation's investments in derivative instruments and some debt and equity securities.  The fair value measurements for these instruments are based on quoted prices or observable market inputs.  The value of these instruments is immaterial to the Corporation's financial statements and the related gains or losses from periodic measurement at fair value are de minimis.


On January 1, 2009, the Corporation will adopt FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The application of FAS 157 to the Corporation's nonfinancial assets and liabilities will mostly be limited to the recognition and measurement of nonmonetary exchange transactions, asset retirement obligations and asset impairments.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.



3.

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. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. 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. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. 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.




-6-



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. All 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. The Corporation posted a $5.4 billion letter of credit. ExxonMobil and the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit, which ruled on December 22, 2006, that the award be reduced to $2.5 billion. On January 12, 2007, ExxonMobil petitioned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for a rehearing en banc of its appeal. On May 23, 2007, with two dissenting opinions, the Ninth Circuit determined not to re-hear ExxonMobil’s appeal before the full court. ExxonMobil filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court on August 20, 2007. On October 29, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court granted ExxonMobil’s petition for a writ of certiorari. Oral argument was held on February 27, 2008. While it is reasonably possible that a liability for punitive damages 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.

The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31, 2008, for $7,241 million, primarily relating to guarantees for notes, loans and performance under contracts. Included in this amount were guarantees by consolidated affiliates of $6,466 million, representing ExxonMobil’s share of obligations of certain equity companies. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


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, 2008, 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.


In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by PdVSA, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.




-7-


To date, discussions with Venezuelan authorities have not resulted in an agreement on the amount of compensation to be paid to ExxonMobil. On September 6, 2007, ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. ExxonMobil has also filed an arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce against PdVSA and a PdVSA affiliate for breach of their contractual obligations under certain Cerro Negro Project agreements. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. At the time the assets were expropriated, ExxonMobil’s remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets was about $750 million.

REVIEW OF FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS


Exxon Mobil Corporation reported record first quarter 2008 net income of $10,890 million, up 17 percent from the first quarter of 2007.  Earnings per share were up 25 percent to $2.03 reflecting strong earnings and the impact of the continuing share purchase program.  Higher crude oil and natural gas realizations, driven by record worldwide crude oil prices, were partly offset by lower refining and chemical margins, lower production volumes and higher operating costs.  Share purchases to reduce shares outstanding were increased to $8.0 billion in the first quarter of 2008 and reduced shares outstanding by 1.8 percent.

Upstream earnings were $8,785 million, up $2,744 million from the first quarter of 2007. Record high crude oil and natural gas realizations increased earnings approximately $4.4 billion.  Volume and mix effects decreased earnings about $800 million, as increased natural gas volumes were more than offset by lower crude volumes.  Earnings also decreased due to $300 million of higher taxes, $250 million of increased operating costs and $200 million of lower gains on asset sales.


On an oil-equivalent basis, production decreased 5.6 percent from the first quarter of 2007.  Excluding the Venezuela expropriation, divestments, OPEC quota effects and price and spend impacts on volumes, production was down 3 percent.


Liquids production totaled 2,474 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), down 272 kbd from the first quarter of 2007.  Excluding the Venezuela expropriation, divestments, OPEC quota effects and price and spend impacts on volumes, liquids production was down 6 percent.  Increased production from projects in west Africa and the North Sea was more than offset by mature field decline, PSC net interest reductions and maintenance activities.


First quarter natural gas production was 10,246 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), up 132 mcfd from 2007.   Higher European demand and North Sea project additions were partly offset by mature field decline.   


Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,631 million, $454 million higher than the first quarter of 2007.  Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $7,154 million, up $2,290 million from 2007.

U.S. Downstream earnings were $398 million, down $441 million from the first quarter of 2007.  Non-U.S. Downstream earnings of $768 million were $305 million lower.

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 of $40.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2008 compared to $34.6 billion, including the $4.6 billion of restricted cash, at the end of the first quarter of 2007.


Cash provided by operating activities totaled $21,420 million for the first three months of 2008, $7,134 million higher than 2007.  The major source of funds was net income of $10,890 million, adjusted for the noncash provision of $3,104 million for depreciation and depletion, both of which increased.  The effects of higher prices on the timing of payments of accounts and other payables and the timing of income taxes payable added to cash provided by operating activities.  For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 5.


Investing activities for the first three months of 2008 used net cash of $4,300 million compared to $3,238 million in the prior year.  Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment increased $873 million to $3,979 million.  Proceeds from asset divestments of $413 million in 2008 were lower.


Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first three months of 2008 was $21.8 billion, including asset sales of $0.4 billion, and increased $7.0 billion from the comparable 2007 period.


Net cash used in financing activities of $11,353 million in the first three months of 2008 increased $1,848 million reflecting a higher level of purchases of shares of ExxonMobil stock.


During the first quarter of 2008, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 110 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $9.5 billion.  These purchases included $8.0 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding, with the balance used to offset shares issued in conjunction with the Company's benefit plans and programs.  Shares outstanding were reduced from 5,382 million at the end of the fourth quarter to 5,284 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.


The Corporation distributed a total of $9.9 billion to shareholders during the quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding, an increase of 13 percent or $1.1 billion versus the first quarter of 2007.


Total debt of $10.0 billion at March 31, 2008, increased from $9.6 billion at year-end 2007.  The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 7.3 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2008 compared to 7.1 percent at year-end 2007.


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.


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.


In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by PdVSA, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.


To date, discussions with Venezuelan authorities have not resulted in an agreement on the amount of compensation to be paid to ExxonMobil. On September 6, 2007, ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. ExxonMobil has also filed an arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce against PdVSA and a PdVSA affiliate for breach of their contractual obligations under certain Cerro Negro Project agreements. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. At the time the assets were expropriated, ExxonMobil’s remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets was about $750 million.

Income, sales-based and all other taxes and duties for the first quarter of 2008 of $29,341 million were higher than 2007.  In the first quarter of 2008 income tax expense increased to $9,302 million and the effective income tax rate was 49 percent, compared to $6,784 million and 44 percent, respectively, in the prior year period.  The change in the effective income tax rate reflects an increased share of total income from the non-U.S. Upstream segment.  Sales-based taxes and all other taxes and duties increased in 2008 reflecting higher prices and foreign exchange.

Spending on capital and exploration projects was $5.5 billion in the first quarter of 2008, up 30 percent from last year, as we continued to actively invest in projects to bring additional crude oil, natural gas and finished products to market.


Capital and exploration expenditures for full year 2007 were $20.9 billion and are expected to range from $25 billion to $30 billion for the next several years.  Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects.



RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160 (FAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51.”  FAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  FAS 160 must be adopted by the Corporation no later than January 1, 2009.  FAS 160 requires retrospective adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.  All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of FAS 160 to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Statements in this report relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements.  Actual results, including project plans, capacities, and timing and resource recoveries could differ materially due to changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil and gas industry; political events or disturbances; reservoir performance; the outcome of commercial negotiations; wars and acts of terrorism or sabotage; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" on our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil's 2007 Form 10-K.  We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2008, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


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, 2008.  Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  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 February 15, 2008, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) filed a Preliminary Report and Petition seeking an administrative penalty and corrective action related to a July 24, 2004, emissions event and alleged violations discovered in a 2005 TCEQ inspection at the Baytown Refinery.  TCEQ is seeking an administrative penalty of $192,720.  ExxonMobil has filed its Answer to the Petition and requested a contested case hearing.  The matter is now pending before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.

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 the Company's 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 May 1, 2008, the Corporation stated that share purchases to reduce shares outstanding were increased to $8.0 billion in the first quarter of 2008.  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.
