Certain disclosures in this Annual Report may be considered “forward-looking” statements. These are made pursuant to “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The "Cautionary Statement" in Management's Discussion and Analysis on page 27 should be read in conjunction with such statements.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors — The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. The company uses certain terms in this Annual Report, such as “resources,” “recoverable resources,” “resource base,” and “recoverable bitumen,” that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in the company’s 2007 Form 10-K, File No. 001-32395, available from the company at 600 N. Dairy Ashford, Houston, TX 77079, and the company’s Web site at www.conocophillips.com/investor/sec.htm. The 2007 Form 10-K also can be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

“ConocoPhillips,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are used interchangeably in this report to refer to the businesses of ConocoPhillips and its consolidated subsidiaries.
