                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

1.   Description of the Plan:

       Amoco   Fabrics  and  Fibers  Company  (the  "Company")
established  the  Amoco  Fabrics and Fibers  Company  Salaried
401(k)  Savings Plan effective January 1, 1996  (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 Hourly 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Hourly 401(k)
Plan").  The  trustee for the Master Trust, the Plan  and  the
Hourly  401(k)  Plan  is Bankers Trust  Company,  a  New  York
banking  corporation (the "Trustee"). The Plan and the  Hourly
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 Hourly 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 16 percent of pre-tax earnings. The first six 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 780 participants in the Plan at December  31,
1998,   out   of   a  total  of  892  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

          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

dollars,  totaled  $15  in  1998.  The  benefit  in  which   a
participant  is entitled is the benefit which 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 to 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 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 April 16, 1999, 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. Once qualified,
the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC  to
maintain  its qualification. The Company is not aware  of  any
course  of action or series of events that have occurred  that
might  adversely  affect  the  Plan's  qualified  status.  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 a "salaried employee" from  or
to  an "hourly employee" as defined in the Plan document.  For
the year ended December 31, 1998, there were no Plan transfers
from the Plan to the Hourly 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 Hourly 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 43 percent  and  39  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.

7. 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.
