Up to year 2000, the development costs related to the upgrader of the Sincor heavy oil project in Venezuela used to be included in the capitalized and incurred costs displayed in the FAS 69 amounts. In 2001, TotalFinaElf has taken the position that these costs do not in fact fall into the FAS 69 perimeter and the corresponding amounts have been excluded. The amounts displayed for 1999 and 2000 have not been modified.
The incurred costs related to the upgrader of the Sincor project in 2000 and 1999 amount respectively to 416 M€ and 339 M€. Excluding these amounts, the incurred costs would have totalled 1,381 M€ and 902 M€ instead of 1,797 M€ and 1,241 M€ for the "Rest of the World" zone, and 4,390 M€ and 4,728 M€ instead of 4,806 M€ and 4,617 M€ for the consolidated total.
