NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Corporations 2010 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 Corporations exploration and production activities are accounted for under the successful efforts method.
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 Corporations operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.
On June 30, 2011, a state district court jury in Baltimore County, Maryland returned a verdict against Exxon Mobil Corporation in Allison, et al v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, a case involving an accidental 26,000 gallon gasoline leak at a suburban Baltimore service station. The verdict included approximately $497 million in compensatory damages and approximately $1.0 billion in punitive damages in a finding that ExxonMobil fraudulently misled the plaintiff-residents about the events leading up to the leak, the leaks discovery, and the nature and extent of any groundwater contamination. ExxonMobil believes the verdict is not justified by the evidence and that the amount of the award is grossly excessive and unconstitutional. ExxonMobils post trial motion to overturn the punitive damages verdict is pending before the trial court. In the event ExxonMobil is not granted relief from the verdict, it will appeal the decision following entry of final judgment. In a prior trial involving the same leak, the jury awarded plaintiff-residents compensatory damages but decided against punitive damages. That case is on appeal. The ultimate outcome of this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Corporations operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.
Other Contingencies
Total guarantees
The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at June 30, 2011, for $9,618 million, primarily relating to guarantees for notes, loans and performance under contracts. Included in this amount were guarantees by consolidated affiliates of $6,433 million, representing ExxonMobils share of obligations of certain equity companies. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporations financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
- 7 -
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 Corporations operations or financial condition. The Corporations outstanding unconditional purchase obligations at June 30, 2011, 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 Venezuelas 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 PdVSAs or one of its affiliates 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 the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobils 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project.
On September 6, 2007, affiliates of ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) invoking ICSID jurisdiction under Venezuelas Investment Law and the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID Tribunal issued a decision on June 10, 2010, finding that it had jurisdiction to proceed on the basis of the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. The ICSID arbitration proceeding is continuing and a hearing on the merits is currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2012. An affiliate of ExxonMobil has also filed an arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against PdVSA and a PdVSA affiliate for breach of their contractual obligations under certain Cerro Negro Project agreements. A hearing on the merits of the ICC arbitration concluded in September 2010 and the parties have filed post-hearing briefs. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporations consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporations operations or financial condition. ExxonMobils remaining net book investment in Cerro Negro producing assets is about $750 million.

Financial Instruments. The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to observable market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The only category of financial instruments where the difference between fair value and recorded book value is notable is long-term debt. The estimated fair value of total long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations, was $12.6 billion at June 30, 2011, and $12.8 billion at December 31, 2010, as compared to recorded book values of $12.1 billion at June 30, 2011, and $12.2 billion at December 31, 2010. The fair value hierarchy for long-term debt is primarily Level 1 (quoted prices for identical assets in active markets).
Derivative Instruments. The Corporations size, strong capital structure, geographic diversity and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses reduce the Corporations enterprise-wide risk from changes in interest rates, currency rates and commodity prices. As a result, the Corporation makes limited use of derivatives to mitigate the impact of such changes. The Corporation does not engage in speculative derivative activities or derivative trading activities nor does it use derivatives with leveraged features.
When the Corporation does enter into derivative transactions, it is to offset exposures associated with interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and hydrocarbon prices that arise from existing assets, liabilities and forecasted transactions. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Corporations activity is intended to manage the price risk posed by physical transactions.
The estimated fair value of derivative instruments outstanding and recorded on the balance sheet was a net asset of $155 million and $172 million at June 30, 2011, and at December 31, 2010, respectively. This is the amount that the Corporation would have received from third parties if these derivatives had been settled in the open market. Assets and liabilities associated with derivatives are predominantly recorded either in Other current assets or Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The June 30, 2011, net asset balance includes the Corporations outstanding cash flow hedge position, acquired as a result of the June 2010 XTO merger, of $114 million. As the current cash flow hedge positions settle, these programs will be discontinued. The fair value hierarchy for derivative instruments is primarily Level 2 (either market prices for similar assets in active markets or prices quoted by a broker or other market-corroborated prices).
The Corporation recognized a before-tax gain related to derivative instruments of $39 million and $59 million during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, and $24 million and $33 million during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2010. Income statement effects associated with derivatives are recorded either in Sales and other operating revenue or Crude oil and product purchases. Of the amount stated above for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, cash flow hedges resulted in a before-tax gain of $56 million. The ineffective portion of derivatives designated as hedges is de minimis.
The principal natural gas futures contracts and swap agreements acquired as part of the XTO merger that are in place as of June 30, 2011, will expire at the end of 2011. The associated volume of natural gas is 250 mcfd at a weighted average NYMEX price of $7.02 per thousand cubic feet. These derivative contracts qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The Corporation will receive the cash flow related to these derivative contracts at the price indicated above. However, the amount of the income statement gain or loss realized from these contracts will be limited to the change in fair value of the derivative instruments from the acquisition date of XTO.
The Corporation believes that there are no material market or credit risks to the Corporations financial position, results of operations or liquidity as a result of the derivative activities described above.

REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
ExxonMobil recorded strong results during the second quarter of 2011, while investing at a record level of over $10 billion to develop new supplies of energy to meet growing world demand.
Second quarter earnings of $10.7 billion were up 41 percent from the second quarter of 2010, reflecting higher crude oil and natural gas realizations, improved Downstream results and continued strength in Chemicals. First half 2011 earnings of $21.3 billion increased 54 percent over the first half of 2010.
In the second quarter, capital and exploration expenditures were a record $10.3 billion, up 58 percent from the second quarter of 2010.
The Corporation returned over $7 billion to shareholders in the second quarter through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.
Earnings in the first six months of 2011 of $21,330 million increased $7,470 million, or 54 percent, from 2010. Earnings per share - assuming dilution increased 47 percent to $4.32.
-18-
Upstream earnings
Total
Upstream earnings in the second quarter of 2011 were $8,541 million, up $3,205 million from the second quarter of 2010. Higher liquids and natural gas realizations increased earnings by $3.6 billion. Production mix and volume effects decreased earnings by $480 million.
On an oil-equivalent basis, production increased 10 percent from the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production was up over 12 percent.
Liquids production totaled 2,351 kbd (thousands of barrels per day), up 26 kbd from the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, liquids production was up 4 percent, as increased production in Qatar, the U.S. and Iraq more than offset field decline.
Second quarter natural gas production was 12,267 mcfd (millions of cubic feet per day), up 2,242 mcfd from the second quarter of 2010, driven by additional U.S. unconventional gas volumes and project ramp-ups in Qatar.
Earnings from U.S. Upstream operations were $1,449 million, $584 million higher than the second quarter of 2010. Non-U.S. Upstream earnings were $7,092 million, up $2,621 million from last year.
Upstream earnings in the first six months of 2011 were $17,216 million, up $6,066 million from 2010. Higher crude oil and natural gas realizations increased earnings by $6.2 billion.

On an oil-equivalent basis, production in the first six months of 2011 was up 10 percent compared to the same period in 2010. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, production was up 12 percent.
Liquids production in the first six months of 2011 of 2,375 kbd increased 5 kbd compared with 2010. Excluding the impacts of entitlement volumes, OPEC quota effects and divestments, liquids production was up 3 percent, as higher volumes from Qatar and the U.S. more than offset field decline.
Natural gas production in the first six months of 2011 of 13,390 mcfd increased 2,538 mcfd from 2010, driven by additional U.S. unconventional gas volumes and project ramp-ups in Qatar.
Earnings in the first six months of 2011 from U.S. Upstream operations were $2,728 million, an increase of $772 million. Earnings outside the U.S. were $14,488 million, up $5,294 million.

Sales of subsidiaries, investments and property, plant and equipment
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 $8.5 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared to $13.3 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2010.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $29.7 billion for the first six months of 2011, $7.5 billion higher than 2010. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $21.8 billion, adjusted for the noncash provision of $7.6 billion for depreciation and depletion, both of which increased. Changes in operational working capital added $1.1 billion to cash flows in 2011. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 5.
Investing activities for the first six months of 2011 used net cash of $15.9 billion compared to $10.2 billion in the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment increased $3.5 billion to $14.9 billion. Proceeds from the sale of subsidiaries, investments, and property, plant and equipment increased $2.0 billion to $2.8 billion. Additional investments and advances increased $2.6 billion to $2.9 billion and additions to marketable securities were $1.8 billion.
Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the second quarter of 2011 of $14.4 billion, including asset sales of $1.5 billion, increased $4.7 billion from the comparable 2010 period. Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first six months of 2011 of $32.6 billion, including asset sales of $2.8 billion, was up $9.5 billion from 2010.
Net cash used in financing activities of $13.8 billion in the first six months of 2011 was $5.0 billion higher than 2010, primarily reflecting a higher level of purchases of shares of ExxonMobil stock.
During the second quarter of 2011, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 67 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $5.5 billion. These purchases included $5 billion to reduce the number of shares outstanding, with the balance used to offset shares issued in conjunction with the companys benefit plans and programs. Shares outstanding decreased from 4,926 million at the end of the first quarter to 4,862 million at the end of the second 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 to shareholders a total of $7.3 billion in the second quarter of 2011 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding.
Total debt of $16.5 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $15.0 billion at year-end 2010. The Corporations debt to total capital ratio was 9.2 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared to 9.0 percent at year-end 2010.
-21-
Although the Corporation issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains a revolving commercial paper program, internally generated funds are expected to cover the majority of its net near-term 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. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include potential for future growth and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporations common stock, or both.
Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
TAXES
Effective income tax rate
All other taxes and duties
Income, sales-based and all other taxes and duties for the second quarter of 2011 of $27,509 million were $6,359 million higher than the second quarter of 2010. Income tax expense increased $2,761 million to $7,721 million reflecting the higher level of earnings and a higher effective tax rate which was 45 percent compared to 43 percent in the prior year period. Sales-based taxes and all other taxes and duties increased in 2011 reflecting higher prices.
Income, sales-based and all other taxes and duties for the first six months of 2011 of $53,745 million were $10,938 million higher than the comparable period in 2010. Income tax expense increased $5,272 million to $15,725 million reflecting the higher level of earnings. The effective tax rate was 46 percent in both periods. Sales-based taxes and all other taxes and duties increased in 2011 reflecting higher prices.
CAPITAL AND EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements relating to future plans, projections, events or conditions are forward-looking statements. Actual results, including project plans, costs, timing, and capacities; capital and exploration expenditures; and share purchase levels, could differ materially due to factors including: changes in long-term oil or gas prices or other market or economic conditions affecting the oil and gas industry; unforeseen technical difficulties; 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 in the Investors section of our website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobils 2010 Form 10-K. We assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date.
Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2011, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2010.
As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, the Corporations chief executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer have evaluated the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Corporations 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 Commissions rules and forms. There were no changes during the Corporations last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.
