EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 2003 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.

Accounting Change

As of January 1, 2003, the corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (FAS 143), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The cumulative adjustment for the change in accounting principle reported in the first quarter of 2003 was after-tax income of $550 million (net of $442 million of income tax effects, including ExxonMobil’s share of related equity company income taxes of $51 million), or $0.08 per common share.

Accounting for Variable Interest Entities

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revised Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” replacing the original interpretation issued in January 2003.

The corporation identified three operating entities in which the corporation has variable interests primarily through lease commitments and certain guarantees extended by the corporation. While implementation was not required until March 31, 2004, the corporation chose to adopt FIN 46 in the fourth quarter 2003 by consolidating these entities, which were previously accounted for under the equity method. There was no effect on net income, because the corporation was already recording its share of net income of these entities. The impact to the balance sheet was to increase both assets and liabilities by about $500 million. However, there was no change to the calculation of return on average capital employed, because the corporation already includes its share of equity company debt in the determination of average capital employed.

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.

-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. The vast majority of the compensatory claims have been resolved. All of the punitive damage claims were consolidated in the civil trial that began in May 1994.

In that trial, on September 24, 1996, the United States District Court for the District of Alaska entered a judgment in the amount of $5 billion in punitive damages to a class composed of all persons and entities who asserted claims for punitive damages from the corporation as a result of the Exxon Valdez grounding. ExxonMobil appealed the judgment. On November 7, 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated the punitive damage award as being excessive under the Constitution and remanded the case to the District Court for it to determine the amount of the punitive damage award consistent with the Ninth Circuit’s holding. The Ninth Circuit upheld the compensatory damage award which has been paid. On December 6, 2002, the District Court reduced the punitive damage award from $5 billion to $4 billion. Both the plaintiffs and ExxonMobil appealed that decision to the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit panel vacated the District Court’s $4 billion punitive damage award without argument and sent the case back for the District Court to reconsider in light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Campbell v. State Farm. On January 28, 2004, the District Court reinstated the punitive damage award at $4.5 billion plus interest. ExxonMobil and the plaintiffs have appealed the decision to the Ninth Circuit. The corporation has posted a $5.4 billion letter of credit.

On January 29, 1997, a settlement agreement was concluded resolving all remaining matters between the corporation and various insurers arising from the Valdez accident. Under terms of this settlement, ExxonMobil received $480 million. Final income statement recognition of this settlement continues to be deferred in view of uncertainty regarding the ultimate cost to the corporation of the Valdez accident.

Management believes that the likelihood of the judgment being upheld is remote. While it is reasonably possible that a liability may have been incurred arising from the Exxon Valdez grounding, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to reasonably estimate any such potential liability.

On December 19, 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 on May 4, 2001. On December 20, 2002, the Alabama Supreme Court vacated the $3.5 billion jury verdict. The case was retried and on November 14, 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. On March 29, 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 and that the amount of the award is grossly excessive and unconstitutional. ExxonMobil has appealed the decision. 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. On May 4, 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 condensed 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 as the bond is cancelled.

On May 22, 2001, a state court jury in New Orleans, Louisiana, returned a verdict against the corporation and three other entities in a case brought by a landowner claiming damage to his property. The property had been leased by the landowner to a company that performed pipe cleaning and storage services for customers, including the corporation. The jury awarded the plaintiff $56 million in compensatory damages (90 percent to be paid by the corporation) and $1 billion in punitive damages (all to be paid by the corporation). The damage related to the presence of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) on the site resulting from pipe cleaning operations. The award has been upheld at the trial court. ExxonMobil has appealed the judgment to the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and believes that the judgment should be set aside or substantially reduced on factual and constitutional grounds. Management be lieves that the likelihood of the jury verdict being upheld is remote. While it is reasonably possible that a liability may have been incurred by ExxonMobil from this dispute over property damages, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to reasonably estimate any such potential liability.

In Allapattah v. Exxon, a jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida determined in January 2001 that a class of all Exxon dealers between March 1983 and August 1994 had been overcharged between 1.03 and 1.4 cents per gallon for gasoline. Exxon sold a total of 39.8 billion gallons of gasoline to its dealers during this period. The estimated value of the potential claims associated with the 39.8 billion gallons of gasoline is $494 million. Including related interest, the total is approximately $1.3 billion. On June 11, 2003, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment and on March 15, 2004, denied a petition for Rehearing En Banc. On October 12, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court granted review of an issue raised by ExxonMobil as to whether the class in the District Court judgment should include members that individually do not sati sfy the $50,000 minimum amount-in-controversy requirement in Federal court. Members of the class may file claims through December 1, 2004. As of September 30, 2004 claims representing approximately 90 percent of the gallons had been filed. In light of the Supreme Court's decision to grant review of only part of ExxonMobil's appeal, ExxonMobil took an after-tax charge of $550 million in the third quarter reflecting the estimated liability, including interest and after considering potential set-offs and defenses, for the claims in excess of $50,000.

Tax issues for 1983-93 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 September 30, 2004 for $3,501 million, primarily relating to guarantees for notes, loans and performance under contracts. This included $1,018 million representing guarantees of non-U.S. excise taxes and customs duties of other companies, entered into as a normal business practice, under reciprocal arrangements. Also included in this amount were guarantees by consolidated affiliates of $2,065 million, representing ExxonMobil’s share of obligations of certain equity companies.

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 September 30, 2004 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.

If the provisions for expensing the value of employee stock options of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” had been adopted prior to January 1, 2003, the impact on compensation expense, net income, and net income per share for periods in 2003 and 2004 would have been negligible.

As of year-end 2003, the company expected to make contributions of up to $300 million to U.S. plans, depending on the outcome of legislative proposals before Congress. On April 10, 2004, the President of the United States signed into law H.R. 3108 which establishes a two-year replacement of the benchmark interest rate used to determine the funding of liabilities of private sector pension plans. As a result of that legislation, the company does not expect to make a contribution to its U.S. pension plans in 2004. The expected contribution of about $450 million to non-U.S. plans is unchanged.

The corporation offers a Medicare supplement plan to Medicare-eligible retirees which provides prescription drug benefits. On December 8, 2003, the President of the United States signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act"). The Act provides a federal subsidy to employers sponsoring retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The corporation believes that its Medicare supplement plan is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and that it is not a significant event for the plan. The corporation will defer recognition of the effects of the Act until December 31, 2004, the next measurement date of the plan obligations.

Upstream earnings were $3,929 million, an increase of $1,227 million from the third quarter of 2003 reflecting higher crude oil and natural gas prices.

Liquids production of 2,506 kbd (thousands of barrels per day) increased by 1 percent versus the third quarter of 2003. Higher production from new fields in West Africa and Norway was partly offset by natural field decline in mature areas, adverse entitlement effects, divestment impacts, and planned maintenance activity.

Third quarter natural gas production increased to 8,428 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day) from 8,323 mcfd last year. Higher European volumes, the impact of projects and work programs and an additional LNG train in Qatar were partly offset by natural field decline in mature areas, planned maintenance activity, divestment impacts and adverse entitlement effects.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production increased by 1 percent versus third quarter 2003. Plans for long-term capacity increases remain on track as reflected by continued high levels of capital spending.

Earnings from U.S. upstream operations were $1,173 million, up $290 million. Non-U.S. upstream earnings of $2,756 million were $937 million higher than last year's third quarter.

_____________________________________________

Upstream earnings in the first nine months of 2004 of $11,788 million increased $555 million from the first nine months of 2003 which included a $1,700 million gain from the transfer of shares of Ruhrgas AG. First nine months 2004 results benefited from higher liquids and natural gas realizations and increased production.

Liquids production of 2,574 kbd increased by 3 percent versus the first nine months of 2003. Higher production in West Africa and Norway, was partly offset by natural field decline in mature areas, adverse entitlement effects and divestment impacts.

Natural gas production of 9,640 mcfd, decreased 230 mcfd from 2003. Natural field decline in mature areas, adverse entitlement effects and divestment impacts were partly offset by the start-up of an additional LNG train in Qatar and by projects and work programs.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production increased by 1 percent from the first nine months of last year. Excluding divestment and entitlement effects, production increased by 4 percent.

Earnings from U.S. upstream operations for the first nine months of 2004 were $3,564 million, an increase of $515 million. Earnings outside the U.S. of $8,224 million compared to $8,184 million, which included the one-time $1,700 million Ruhrgas gain. Non-U.S. earnings benefited from liquids production growth and higher liquids and natural gas realizations.

Downstream earnings in the third quarter 2004 were $851 million and included a $550 million charge for the Allapattah lawsuit provision. Third quarter 2004 results benefited from stronger refining margins and higher refinery throughput from more efficient operations partly offset by continued weakness in marketing margins. Petroleum product sales were 8,242 kbd, 311 kbd higher than last year's third quarter.

U.S. downstream earnings of $11 million increased $190 million from last year's third quarter before the lawsuit provision. Non-U.S. downstream earnings of $840 million were $300 million higher than last year's third quarter.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $28,243 million for the first nine months of 2004 versus $21,699 million in the same period last year which included non-cash net income for the site restoration accounting change and the Ruhrgas transaction. Major sources of funds were net income of $16,910 million and non-cash provisions of $7,154 million for depreciation and depletion. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 5.

In the first quarter of 2003, ExxonMobil completed a divestment of interests in shares of

Ruhrgas AG, a German gas transmission company. These shares were held in part by BEB Erdgas und Erdoel GmbH (BEB), an investment accounted for by the equity method, and in part by a consolidated affiliate in Germany. In 2002, cash in the amount of $1,466 million was received from BEB and included in cash flows from operating activities. This cash from BEB was a loan and was part of a restructuring that enabled BEB to transfer its holdings in Ruhrgas AG provided regulatory approval was received. No income was recorded in 2002. In the first quarter of 2003, upon receipt of regulatory approvals, the Ruhrgas AG shares held by BEB were transferred, cash was received for the shares held by the consolidated affiliate and a one-time gain of $1,700 million after tax was recognized in net income. The $2,240 million reduction in 2003 cash flow from operating activities reflects the pre-tax gains from the transaction. The cash generated from these gains for the BEB portion of the transaction was reported in 2002. For the shares held by the consolidated affiliate, the cash received was reported in cash flows from investing activities in 2003.

-21-

Investing activities in 2004 used net cash of $11,020 million compared to $7,706 million in the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment of $8,579 million and proceeds from asset divestments of $1,952 million were comparable to the respective amounts in the prior year. As discussed in note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, investing activities in 2004 included a pledge in the second quarter by the corporation to the issuer of a litigation related appeal bond of collateral consisting of restricted cash and cash equivalents of $4,602 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $11,707 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared to $10,636 million in the 2003 period reflecting a higher level of purchases of ExxonMobil shares in the current year partially offset by the absence of debt reduction in the prior year.

Total cash and cash equivalents, including the $4.6 billion of restricted cash, was $20.7 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2004.

During the third quarter of 2004, the corporation purchased 65 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $3,010 million. Shares outstanding were reduced from 6,506 million at the end of the second quarter of 2004 to 6,451 million at the end of the third quarter. During the first nine months of 2004, the corporation purchased 157 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $6,910 million. These purchases were to offset shares issued in conjunction with company benefit plans and programs and to reduce the number of shares outstanding. 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.

Total debt of $10.1 billion at September 30, 2004 was $0.6 billion higher than at year-end 2003. The corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 9.3 percent at the end of both the third quarter of 2004 and year-end 2003.

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. There are no events or uncertainties known to management beyond those already included in reported financial information that would indicate a material change in future operating results or future financial condition.

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. On November 1, 2004 the corporation announced that its subsidiary, Esso Nederland B.V., had signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with the State of the Netherlands and Shell Nederland B.V. to restructure its interest in the Dutch gas transportation business. The HOA contains the principal terms and conditions under which Esso Nederland B.V. and Shell Nederland B.V. will agree to transfer their ownership share of 25 percent each in Gasunie's gas transportation business to the State of the Netherlands. The corporation's net compensation is expected to be 1.4 billion Euros. The final transaction remains subject to regulatory reviews. The pa rties intend to finalize the restructuring by mid-2005. It is anticipated that this restructuring will have a positive impact on the corporation's results.

_____________________________________________

Capital and exploration expenditures were $10,652 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared to $11,165 million in the prior year period.

In 2003, the corporation invested over $15 billion in capital projects and exploration activities and expects to invest at a similar level for the next couple of years. ExxonMobil is pursuing all attractive opportunities with the same disciplined investment approach that has delivered results in the past.

EMERGING ISSUE RELATED TO ACCOUNTING FOR SUSPENDED WELL COSTS

At its September 29-30, 2004 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) discussed Issue No. 04-9, "Accounting for Suspended Well Costs." FASB Statement No. 19 (FAS 19), "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies", requires costs of drilling exploratory wells to be capitalized pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. If the well has found proved reserves, the capitalized costs are included in wells, equipment, and facilities. If, however, the well has not found proved reserves, the capitalized costs of drilling the well are expensed, net of any salvage value, within one year except under certain specific circumstances. Questions have arisen in practice about the application of this guidance. The EITF agreed to remove this issue from the EITF agenda and requested that the FASB consider an amendment to FAS 19 to address this issue. &nb sp;The EITF recommended that the FASB amend FAS 19 to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well costs beyond one year if (a) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

ExxonMobil continues to carry as an asset the cost of drilling exploratory wells that find sufficient quantities of reserves to justify their completion as producing wells if the required capital expenditure is made and drilling of additional exploratory wells is under way or firmly planned for the near future. Once exploration activities demonstrate that sufficient quantities of commercially producible reserves have been discovered, continued capitalization is dependent on project reviews, which take place at least annually, to ensure that satisfactory progress toward ultimate development of the reserves is being achieved. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. ExxonMobil does not believe that this issue will have a material impact on its financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this discussion relating to future plans, projections, events, or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual results, including production growth and capital spending, could differ materially due to changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other changes in market conditions affecting the oil and gas industry; political events or disturbances; reservoir performance; changes in OPEC quotas; timely completion of development projects; changes in technical or operating conditions; and other factors including those discussed herein and under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" in Item 1 of ExxonMobil's 2003 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information about market risks for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2003.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the corporation's principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of ensuring that material information required to be in this quarterly report is made known to them by others on a timely basis. There have not been changes in the corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the corporation's last fiscal quarter that have 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

In a previously reported matter, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") formally withdrew its Notice of Violation issued on November 14, 2003 alleging that the corporation's Baytown refinery released for distribution a batch of conventional gasoline with a Reid vapor pressure (RVP) in excess of prescribed limits. The EPA accepted ExxonMobil's arguments, reversed its position on the merits, and determined that ExxonMobil had not violated the RVP standard. The letter of withdrawal was received from the EPA on September 28, 2004.

Regarding a previously reported matter, the corporation executed a settlement agreement with the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York ("New York"), and a consent order was entered into, in September 2004, in the case "State of New York v. Mobil Business Resources Corporation f/k/a Mobil Administration Services, Inc. and Mobil Oil Corporation, f/k/a Socony Vacuum Oil Company." New York had alleged that petroleum was discharged from an underground storage tank at a corporation-owned Mobil service station in Mamaroneck, New York, and that the corporation failed to remediate and report the alleged spill. Pursuant to the settlement, the corporation paid $250,000 in penalties in September, with another $300,000 in penalties being suspended (payable only if the corporation fails to complete the remediation under the consent order). The total settlement value was $3 .65 million, including past remediation costs, interest and penalties.

In another previously reported matter, the corporation and the EPA have signed a consent decree in the case "U.S. v. Mobil Exploration & Producing U.S., Inc.". This case relates to the McElmo Creek and Ratherford production units in Utah, which are operated by the corporation and in which it has an interest. The EPA had alleged that the units had violated the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Regulations and the Clean Water Act by reason of discharges of produced waters into navigable waters of the United States. Under the terms of the consent decree, the corporation has agreed to pay a penalty in the amount of $515,000 (anticipated to be paid in fourth quarter 2004) and to undertake a supplemental

-25-

environmental project in the amount of $327,000. The consent decree was entered in the U.S. District Court for Utah, Central Division, on September 29, 2004, following a 30-day comment period.

The EPA issued a complaint on August 13, 2004 (in the matter of ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Baytown, Texas), which arose out of a multimedia inspection conducted at the corporation's Baytown Chemical Plant (BTCP) in August 1999. The complaint alleges that the inspector identified three open-ended lines in the Paraxylene Adsorption Unit, one open-ended line in the Naptha Rerun Unit, and three open-ended lines in the Isobutylene Unit in violation of the Clean Air Act. The lines were all plugged prior to the conclusion of the inspection. The complaint also alleges that BTCP failed to timely submit two semi-annual reports for the Butyl Polymers Elastomer Product Process Unit. The complaint proposes a civil penalty of $126,500. The corporation answered the complaint on October 25, 2004, generally denying the allegations pending further investigation. A meeting with EPA Region 6 is e xpected to be arranged in the near future to discuss resolution of the allegations.
