AMOCO FABRICS AND FIBERS COMPANY
HOURLY 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of the Plan:
Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company (the "Company")
established the Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company 401(k)
Savings Plan effective January 1, 1994. The plan was amended
and restated effective January 1, 1996 and its name was
changed to Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company Hourly 401(k)
Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Also, on January 1, 1996, the Amoco
Fabrics and Fibers Company Master Trust (the "Master Trust")
was established. The Master Trust holds the assets of the Plan
and the Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company Salaried 401(k)
Savings Plan (the "Salaried 401(k) Plan"). The trustee for the
Master Trust, the Plan and the Salaried 401(k) Plan is Bankers
Trust Company, a New York banking corporation (the "Trustee").
The Plan and the Salaried 401(k) Plan have the same investment
funds. Investments made by participants in the Plan in each of
the investment funds are commingled with the investments in
each of the investment funds of the Salaried 401(k) Plan by
participants in that plan.
The following description of the Plan is provided for
general information purposes only. Participants should refer
to the Plan document for more complete information.
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage eligible
employees to regularly save part of their earnings and to
assist them in accumulating additional security for their
retirement. The Plan provides that both participant and
Company matching contributions will be held in a trust by an
independent trustee for the benefit of participating
employees. The Company reserves the right to amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA").
Under the Plan, participating employees can invest a
total of 13 percent of pre-tax earnings. The first three
percent will be matched by the Company at a rate of $.50 for
every $1.00 contributed by the participant. Company matching
contributions are initially invested in the BP Amoco Stock
Fund.
There were 2,683 participants in the Plan at December 31,
1998, out of a total of 4,806 eligible participants.
Participants are fully vested in their contributed accounts.
Vesting in Company matching contribution accounts is dependent
upon specific criteria as described in the Plan document.
Forfeited Company contributions are used to reduce Company
matching contributions or to offset administrative expenses.
Forfeitures, expressed in thousands of
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
dollars, totaled $5 in 1998. The benefit to which a
participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided by
the participant's vested account balance.
The contributions are invested in up to four savings
options as determined by participants. The participant can
direct the Trustee to invest in one or more of the following
options: BP Amoco Stock Fund; Equity Index Fund; Money Market
Fund; and Balanced Fund.
Trustee fees, brokerage commissions, and other
transaction fees and expenses related to the BP Amoco Stock
Fund, the Equity Index Fund, the Money Market Fund and the
Balanced Fund are generally paid out of those respective
funds. As a result, the returns on those investments are net
of the fees and expenses of the managers of these funds and
certain other brokerage commissions and other fees and
expenses incurred in connection with those investment options.
Administrative fees were paid out of the Plan trust or paid by
the Company in accordance with terms of the Plan.
Amoco Stock Fund
Amoco Stock Fund's primary investment objective during
1998 was to purchase Amoco Corporation ("Amoco") common stock.
On December 31, 1998, Amoco merged with The British Petroleum
Company p.l.c. ("BP") pursuant to which Amoco became a wholly
owned subsidiary of BP. BP was renamed BP Amoco p.l.c. and
Amoco Corporation was renamed BP Amoco Corporation. Effective
with the merger, the outstanding shares of Amoco were canceled
and exchanged for BP Amoco p.l.c. Ordinary Shares in the form
of BP Amoco p.l.c. American Depositary Shares ("ADS").
Effective in January 1999, the Amoco Stock Fund became the BP
Amoco Stock Fund and contributions to the BP Amoco Stock Fund
are used to purchase BP Amoco p.l.c. ADSs.
The following description of the Amoco Stock Fund relates
to the period prior to the BP-Amoco merger.
Amounts not invested in Amoco common stock were held as
cash or were used to purchase short-term investments or
invested in short-term investment funds of the Trustee.
Dividends paid on Amoco common stock held in the Amoco Stock
Fund were used primarily to purchase additional Amoco common
stock or meet the cash demands of the Amoco Stock Fund.
The percentage of assets of the Amoco Stock Fund in
investments other than Amoco common stock, under normal
circumstances, was less than 5 percent. However, this figure
may have changed as transactions were made and may have been
substantially higher or lower at a given time. On December 31,
1998, the percentage of investments in Amoco common stock was
99 percent.
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Amoco common stock held in the fund and dividends and
other distributions were not specifically allocated to
participant accounts. Instead, each participant's investment
in the Amoco Stock Fund was based on the proportion of his or
her investment in the fund to all Plan participants. The
Directed Trustee of the Amoco Stock Fund was Bankers Trust
Company.
Equity Index Fund
Amounts invested in the Equity Index Fund are placed in
the Bankers Trust Pyramid Funds, which are managed by Bankers
Trust Company. The goal of the Equity Index Fund is to create
a portfolio of stocks that will track the Standard & Poor's
("S&P") 500 Index return with minimum deviations. The
portfolio strategy provides for the purchase of stocks
representing over 95 percent of the pro rata weighted market
values of the S&P 500 Index. As of December 31, 1998, the
Equity Index Fund represented 100 percent of the pro rata
weighted market values of the S&P 500 Index. In order to
reduce costs, transactions are made only to reproduce the
composition of the index, to invest cash received from
dividends or buyouts, to invest additions to the fund and to
raise cash for withdrawals.
Money Market Fund
The investment objective of the fund is to provide higher
returns than typical money market funds provide while
preserving capital. Amounts invested in the Money Market Fund
are used to purchase units of the BT Cash Management Fund.
Assets of the fund are held in cash or in high quality short-
term securities, including commercial paper, corporate notes
and bonds, banking securities, United States Treasury and
Agency securities, collateralized repurchase agreements, asset-
backed securities, and foreign currency-denominated debt
securities. The portfolio guidelines state that all
investments must meet the fund's high credit standards,
carrying ratings of A1/P1 or higher. The portfolio's average
maturity is maintained at 120 days or less. The manager of the
fund, Bankers Trust Company, has the responsibility of
purchasing the selection of securities for the fund.
Balanced Fund
Amounts invested in the Balanced Fund are used to
purchase shares of the Bankers Trust Pyramid Asset Management
Fund. The goal of the Balanced Fund is to provide the investor
with above-average long-term returns while minimizing downside
risk through an actively managed portfolio of equity
securities, bonds, and money market instruments using targeted
portfolio weights and asset policy ranges. The fund's
strategic investment allocation is 55 percent stocks, 35
percent bonds, and 10 percent money market instruments. The
asset policy ranges identify the limits within which the
investment manager, Bankers Trust Company, determines the
actual portfolio proportions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Method of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under
the accrual method of accounting.
Investment Valuation
All investments of the funds are stated at fair value
generally as determined by quoted market prices. Realized
gains and losses are recognized upon the disposition of
investments by comparing the proceeds to the average cost.
Average cost is calculated as the weighted average of the fair
value of the disposed securities at the beginning of the year
or acquisition cost if acquired during the year. In accordance
with the policy of stating investments at fair value,
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the fair value of
investments for the year, if any, is calculated as fair value
at the end of the year less fair value at the beginning of the
year, or if acquired during the year, acquisition cost.
Allocation of Master Trust Assets and Transactions
In order to preserve, for participating plans, an
interest in the combined assets of the Master Trust, the
Trustee determines computed shares in the Master Trust for
each plan. Current month's Master Trust investment
transactions are allocated based on each plan's computed
shares in the Master Trust at the end of the prior month,
adjusted for current month's contributions less benefit
payments to participants. These allocated amounts are then
added to or subtracted from the prior month's computed shares
to determine computed shares at the end of the month. Master
Trust investment transactions allocated to the Plan include
dividend and interest income, gains and losses on sales of
investments and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
investments.
Contributions
Company and participant contributions are made and
recorded during the periods in which the Company processes
payroll.
Estimates in Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts. Actual results may differ in some cases from the
estimates.
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
3. Participant Loans:
Participants are eligible to borrow from their account
balances in the Plan. Loans are made in the form of cash and
the amount may not exceed the lesser of 50 percent of the
market value of the total vested accounts or $50,000 less the
highest loan balance outstanding during the preceding twelve
months. The participant must execute a promissory note to take
out a loan and the maximum time period for a loan repayment is
fifty-four months. Interest rates are fixed for the duration
of the loan and charged on the unpaid balance. The interest
rate charged is the prime rate as reported by the Wall Street
Journal on the next to the last business day of the month
preceding the month the participant applies for the loan.
Repayment of loan principal and interest is generally made by
payroll deductions and credited to the participant's accounts.
4. Taxes:
The Internal Revenue Service ruled August 14, 1995, that
the Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code ("IRC") and, therefore, the related trust is not
subject to tax under present income tax law. The Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
Company and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
designed and is currently being operated in compliance with
the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Company reserves
the right to make any amendments necessary to maintain the
continued qualified status of the Plan and Master Trust.
5. Plan Transfers
Plan transfers occur when eligible participants in the
Plan remain with Amoco Fabrics and Fibers Company and change
job classifications to or from an "hourly employee" from or to
a "salaried employee" as defined in the Plan document. For the
year ended December 31, 1998, there were no Plan transfers
from the Plan to the Salaried 401(k) Plan.
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
6. The Master Trust and Plan Fund Information:
As described in Note 1, the Plan's trust agreement
permits the commingling for investment purposes of Plan assets
with those of the Salaried 401(k) Plan in the Master Trust.
The Trustee determines the Plan's proportionate share of trust
assets and related changes in trust assets, as described in
Note 2, and such amounts are reflected in the Plan's
statements of assets available for benefits and of changes in
assets available for benefits. At December 31, 1998 and 1997,
the Plan's interest in the total investment of assets of the
Master Trust was approximately 57 percent and 61 percent,
respectively.
The following tables present, within the various
investment funds, the fair value of assets available for
benefits held by the Master Trust as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, the changes in assets available for benefits held by the
Master Trust for the year ended December 31, 1998, the assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the changes in the assets available for benefits of
the Plan for the year ended December 31, 1998.

8. Year 2000 (Unaudited):
The Year 2000 issue, which stems from computer programs
written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year, could result in processing faults on the
change of the century, producing a wide range of consequences.
The Plan relies on some Company systems for certain
aspects of its operation. The Company has conducted a risk-
based review of its computer systems and computer-controlled
processes to identify those which could be affected and
developed an implementation plan to test and remediate the
faults. The Company is replacing or repairing the identified
affected systems, in close collaboration with system
suppliers. All business-critical work is due to be completed
by June 30, 1999. There are some known exceptions to this
target, for valid reasons, that will be closely managed to
completion and will have contingency plans in place to
mitigate risks.
The Company and the Plan are also exposed, to an
unquantifiable degree as are other companies and plans, to the
failure of third party service providers to deal with the Year
2000 exposures. The Company is in the process of developing
contingency plans to address potential system or supplier Year
2000 failures. The third party service providers of the Plan
have indicated that they are taking steps to ensure that their
systems will be Year 2000 compliant and that they are making
contingency plans in the event of Year 2000 complications. If
steps required by the Company or any of its third party
service providers for the Plan in connection with the Year
2000 issue are not taken on a timely basis, the Year 2000
problems could have a material impact on the Plan.
