On 2 November 2004, Solvay exercised its option to sell its interests in BP Solvay Polyethylene Europe and BP Solvay Polyethylene North America
to BP. Solvay held 50% of BP Solvay Polyethylene Europe and 51% of BP Solvay Polyethylene North America. On completion, the two entities,
which manufacture and market high-density polyethylene, became wholly owned subsidiaries of BP. The total consideration for the acquisition
was $1,391 million, subject to final closing adjustments. There were closing adjustments and selling costs in 2005 amounting to $59 million.
These created additional goodwill of $59 million, which was written off. See Note 13, Impairment of goodwill, for further information. Other minor
acquisitions were made for a total consideration of $14 million. All business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method of
accounting. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment has been estimated by determining the net present value of future cash flows. No
significant adjustments were made to the other assets and liabilities acquired. The assets and liabilities acquired as part of the 2004 acquisitions are
shown in aggregate in the table above.
