The information in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is an integral part of these statements.
EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Financial Statement Preparation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in the context of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Corporation's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Corporation, the information furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Prior data has been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the current presentation basis. The Corporation's exploration and production activities are accounted for under the "successful efforts" method.
2. Accounting Changes Effective January 1, 2018, ExxonMobil adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s standard, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended. The standard establishes a single revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers, eliminates industry and transaction specific requirements, and expands disclosure requirements. The standard was adopted using the Modified Retrospective method, under which prior year results are not restated, but supplemental information is provided for any material impacts of the standard on 2018 results. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on any of the lines reported in the Corporation’s financial statements. The cumulative effect of adoption of the standard was de minimis. The Corporation did not elect any practical expedients that require disclosure. See Note 9. Effective January 1, 2018, ExxonMobil adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Update, Financial Instruments—Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard requires investments in equity securities other than consolidated subsidiaries and equity method investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The Corporation elected a modified approach for equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value. This modified approach measures investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of this standard increased equity $47 million. The portion of unrealized gains and losses recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at March 31,June 30, 2018 and the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values at March 31,June 30, 2018 were not significant to the Corporation. The standard also expanded disclosures related to financial instruments. See Note 7. Effective January 1, 2018, ExxonMobil adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Update, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The update requires separate presentation of the service cost component from other components of net benefit costs. The other components are reported in a new line on the Corporation’s Statement of Income, “Non-service pension and postretirement benefit expense.” The Corporation elected to use the practical expedient which uses the amounts disclosed in the pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements, as it is impracticable to determine the amounts capitalized in those periods. Beginning in 2018, the other components of net benefit costs are included in the Corporate and financing segment. The estimated after-tax impact from the change in segmentation is an increase of about $100 million in Corporate and financing expenses of about $100 million for the second quarter and $200 million for the first quartersix months of 2018,2018. The increase in the Corporate and financing expenses is offset by lower expenses across the operating segments. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit costs is eligible for capitalization in situations where it is otherwise appropriate to capitalize employee costs in connection with the construction or production of an asset. The impact of the retrospective presentation change on ExxonMobil's consolidated statement of income for the period ended March 31, 2017, is shown below.

Effective January 1, 2019, ExxonMobil will adopt the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s standard, Leases (Topic 842), as amended. The standard requires all leases with an initial term greater than one year to be recorded on the balance sheet as ana right of use asset and a lease liability. The Corporation is gathering and evaluating data and recently acquired a systemlease accounting software to facilitate implementation. We are progressing an assessmentimplementation, and is currently installing, configuring and testing the software. Based on leases outstanding at the end of 2017, the magnitudeCorporation estimates the operating lease right of use asset and lease liability would have been in the range of $4 billion to $5 billion at that time. The effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.balance sheet as a result of implementing the standard on January 1, 2019, could differ considerably depending on operating leases commenced in 2018 as well as interest rates and other factors such as the expiry or renewal of leases during the year.
3. Litigation and Other Contingencies Litigation A variety of claims have been made against ExxonMobil and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of pending lawsuits. Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Corporation accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Corporation does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Corporation discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters, as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. ExxonMobil will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Corporation does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against ExxonMobil will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole. Other Contingencies The Corporation and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries were contingently liable at March 31,June 30, 2018, for guarantees relating to notes, loans and performance under contracts. Where guarantees for environmental remediation and other similar matters do not include a stated cap, the amounts reflect management’s estimate of the maximum potential exposure. These guarantees are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. | | | | | | As of March 31, 2018 | | | | | | | | | Equity | | | Other | | | | | | | | | | | | Company | | | Third Party | | | | | | | | | | | | Obligations (1) | | | Obligations | | | Total | | | | | | | | | (millions of dollars) | | | | Guarantees | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debt-related | | | 96 | | | 328 | | | 424 | | | | | Other | | | 1,558 | | | 4,887 | | | 6,445 | | | | | | Total | | | 1,654 | | | 5,215 | | | 6,869 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) ExxonMobil share | | | | | | | | | | | |

Additionally, the Corporation and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. The operations and earnings of the Corporation and its affiliates throughout the world have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by political developments and laws and regulations, such as forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; price controls; tax increases and retroactive tax claims; expropriation of property; cancellation of contract rights and environmental regulations. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall effect upon the Corporation vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable.
In accordance with a nationalization decree issued by Venezuela’s president in February 2007, by May 1, 2007, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan National Oil Company (PdVSA) assumed the operatorship of the Cerro Negro Heavy Oil Project. This Project had been operated and owned by ExxonMobil affiliates holding a 41.67 percent ownership interest in the Project. The decree also required conversion of the Cerro Negro Project into a “mixed enterprise” and an increase in PdVSA’s or one of its affiliate’s ownership interest in the Project, with the stipulation that if ExxonMobil refused to accept the terms for the formation of the mixed enterprise within a specified period of time, the government would “directly assume the activities” carried out by the joint venture. ExxonMobil refused to accede to the terms proffered by the government, and on June 27, 2007, the government expropriated ExxonMobil’s 41.67 percent interest in the Cerro Negro Project. On September 6, 2007, affiliates of ExxonMobil filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The ICSID Tribunal issued a decision on June 10, 2010, finding that it had jurisdiction to proceed on the basis of the Netherlands-Venezuela Bilateral Investment Treaty. On October 9, 2014, the ICSID Tribunal issued its final award finding in favor of the ExxonMobil affiliates and awarding $1.6 billion as of the date of expropriation, June 27, 2007, and interest from that date at 3.25 percent compounded annually until the date of payment in full. The Tribunal also noted that one of the Cerro Negro Project agreements provides a mechanism to prevent double recovery between the ICSID award and all or part of an earlier award of $908 million to an ExxonMobil affiliate, Mobil Cerro Negro, Ltd., against PdVSA and a PdVSA affiliate, PdVSA CN, in an arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. On February 2, 2015, Venezuela filed a Request for Annulment of the ICSID award. On March 9, 2017, the ICSID Committee hearing the Request for Annulment issued a decision partially annulling the award of the Tribunal issued on October 9, 2014. The Committee affirmed the compensation due for the La Ceiba projectProject and for export curtailments at the Cerro Negro project,Project, but annulled the portion of the award relating to the Cerro Negro Project’s expropriation ($1.4 billion) based on its determination that the prior Tribunal failed to adequately explain why the cap on damages in the indemnity owed by PdVSA did not affect or limit the amount owed for the expropriation of the Cerro Negro project.Project. As a result, ExxonMobil retainsretained an award for $260 million (including accrued interest). ExxonMobil reachedIn accordance with an agreement withbetween ExxonMobil and Venezuela for full payment of the $260 million. To date, Venezuela continues to meet its payment obligations.million has been fully paid. The agreement does not impact ExxonMobil’s ability to re-arbitrate the issue that was the basis for the annulment in a new ICSID arbitration proceeding. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered judgment on the ICSID award on October 10, 2014. On July 11, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rendered its opinion overturning the District Court’s decision and vacating the judgment on the grounds that a different procedure should have been used to reduce the award to judgment. The Corporation did not seek a writ of certiorari and the court case is now concluded.
The net impact of these matters on the Corporation’s consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. Regardless, the Corporation does not expect the resolution to have a material effect upon the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. An affiliate of ExxonMobil is one of the Contractors under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) covering the Erha block located in the offshore waters of Nigeria. ExxonMobil's affiliate is the operator of the block and owns a 56.25 percent interest under the PSC. The Contractors are in dispute with NNPC regarding NNPC's lifting of crude oil in excess of its entitlement under the terms of the PSC. In accordance with the terms of the PSC, the Contractors initiated arbitration in Abuja, Nigeria, under the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act. On October 24, 2011, a three-member arbitral Tribunal issued an award upholding the Contractors' position in all material respects and awarding damages to the Contractors jointly in an amount of approximately $1.8 billion plus $234 million in accrued interest. The Contractors petitioned a Nigerian federal court for enforcement of the award, and NNPC petitioned the same court to have the award set aside. On May 22, 2012, the court set aside the award. The Contractors appealed that judgment to the Court of Appeal, Abuja Judicial Division. On July 22, 2016, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the lower court setting aside the award. On October 21, 2016, the Contractors appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. In June 2013, the Contractors filed a lawsuit against NNPC in the Nigerian federal high court in order to preserve their ability to seek enforcement of the PSC in the courts if necessary. Following dismissal by this court, the Contractors appealed to the Nigerian Court of Appeal in June 2016. In October 2014, the Contractors filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to enforce, if necessary, the arbitration award against NNPC assets residing within that jurisdiction. NNPC has moved to dismiss the lawsuit. The stay in the proceedings in the Southern District of New York has been lifted. At this time, the net impact of this matter on the Corporation's consolidated financial results cannot be reasonably estimated. However, regardless of the outcome of enforcement proceedings, the Corporation does not expect the proceedings to have a material effect upon the Corporation's operations or financial condition.

Derivative Instruments. The Corporation’s size, strong capital structure, geographic diversity and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses reduce the Corporation’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in interest rates, currency rates and commodity prices. In addition, the Corporation uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and for trading purposes. Credit risk associated with the Corporation’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The Corporation believes that there are no material market or credit risks to the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity as a result of the derivatives. The Corporation maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity. Derivative instruments are currently not subject to a master netting agreement, and the Corporation has not offset collateral against the carrying value. The carrying value of derivative instruments, none of which are designated as hedging instruments, is as follows: | | | | | | | | | June 30, | | | Dec. 31, | | | | | | | | | | 2018 | | | 2017 | | | | | | | | | | (millions of dollars) | Exchange Traded Futures and Swaps | | | | | | | | | | | Assets | | | | | | 98 | | | 25 | | Liabilities | | | | | | (240) | | | (63) | | Collateral receivable/(payable) | | | | | | 189 | | | 94 | | | Total | | | | | | 47 | | | 56 |
At June 30, 2018, the net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments was (22) million barrels for crude and was (7) million barrels for products.

9. Additional Information on Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy for Revenue Recognition The Corporation generally sells crude oil, natural gas and petroleum and chemical products under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. In some cases (e.g., natural gas), products may be sold under long-term agreements, with periodic price adjustments to reflect market conditions. Revenue is recognized at the amount the Corporation expects to receive when the customer has taken control, which is typically when title transfers and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. The prices of certain sales are based on price indexes that are sometimes not available until the next period. In such cases, estimated realizations are accrued when the sale is recognized, and are finalized when the price is available. Such adjustments to revenue from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods are not significant. Payment for revenue transactions is typically due within 30 days. Future volume delivery obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the period are expected to be fulfilled through ordinary production or purchases. These performance obligations are based on market prices at the time of the transaction and are fully constrained due to market price volatility. “Sales and other operating revenue” and “Notes and accounts receivable” primarily arise from contracts with customers. Long-term receivables are primarily from non-customers. Contract assets are mainly from marketing assistance programs and are not significant. Contract liabilities are mainly customer prepayments and accruals of expected volume discounts and are not significant.

Listed below are descriptions of ExxonMobil’s volumes reconciliation factors which are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms. Entitlements - Net Interest are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes caused by non-operational changes to volume-determining factors. These factors consist of net interest changes specified in Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) which typically occur when cumulative investment returns or production volumes achieve defined thresholds, changes in equity upon achieving pay-out in partner investment carry situations, equity redeterminations as specified in venture agreements, or as a result of the termination or expiry of a concession. Once a net interest change has occurred, it typically will not be reversed by subsequent events, such as lower crude oil prices. Entitlements - Price, Spend and Other are changes to ExxonMobil’s share of production volumes resulting from temporary changes to non-operational volume-determining factors. These factors include changes in oil and gas prices or spending levels from one period to another. According to the terms of contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, price or spending variability can increase or decrease royalty burdens and/or volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. For example, at higher prices, fewer barrels are required for ExxonMobil to recover its costs. These effects generally vary from period to period with field spending patterns or market prices for oil and natural gas. Such factors can also include other temporary changes in net interest as dictated by specific provisions in production agreements. Quotas are changes in ExxonMobil’s allowable production arising from production constraints imposed by countries which are members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Volumes reported in this category would have been readily producible in the absence of the quota. Divestments are reductions in ExxonMobil’s production arising from commercial arrangements to fully or partially reduce equity in a field or asset in exchange for financial or other economic consideration. Growth and Other factors comprise all other operational and non-operational factors not covered by the above definitions that may affect volumes attributable to ExxonMobil. Such factors include, but are not limited to, production enhancements from project and work program activities, acquisitions including additions from asset exchanges, downtime, market demand, natural field decline, and any fiscal or commercial terms that do not affect entitlements.

Because of the ongoing nature of our asset management and divestment program, we believe it is useful for investors to consider proceeds associated with asset sales together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities, including shareholder distributions. Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the firstsecond quarter of 2018 was $10.0$8.1 billion, including asset sales of $1.4$0.3 billion, an increase of $1.1$1.0 billion from the comparable 2017 period primarily due toreflecting higher earnings and increased proceeds from asset management activity.earnings. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $8.5$16.3 billion for the first quartersix months of 2018, $0.3$1.2 billion higher than 2017. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $4.8$8.8 billion, an increase of $0.7$1.4 billion from the prior year period. The adjustment for the noncash provision of $4.5$9.1 billion for depreciation and depletion was essentially in line withdown $0.1 billion from 2017. Changes in operational working capital increasedreduced cash flows by $0.4$1.0 billion, down $0.4compared to a decrease of $0.2 billion fromin the prior year period. All other items net decreased cash flows by $1.1$0.5 billion in 2018 compared toversus a reduction of $1.2 billion in 2017. See the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for additional details. Investing activities for the first quartersix months of 2018 used net cash of $1.9$7.0 billion, a decreasean increase of $1.9$0.3 billion compared to the prior year. Spending for additions to property, plant and equipment of $3.3$8.3 billion was $0.5$2.3 billion higher than 2017. Proceeds from asset sales of $1.4$1.7 billion increased $0.8$0.9 billion. Investments and advances decreased $1.6$1.1 billion, principally reflecting the absence of the deposit into escrow of the maximum potential contingent consideration payable as a result of the acquisition of InterOil Corporation in 2017. This was partly offset by cash outflows in 2018 related to the acquisition of a Downstream business in Indonesia. Cash flow from operations and asset sales in the first six months of 2018 was $18.0 billion, including asset sales of $1.7 billion, an increase of $2.1 billion from the comparable 2017 period primarily reflecting higher earnings and increased asset sale proceeds. Net cash used by financing activities was $5.7$9.0 billion in the first quartersix months of 2018, an increase of $2.5$0.7 billion from 2017. The net reduction in short and long term debt was $1.9$1.4 billion compared to a net addition of $0.4$1.2 billion in 2017. During the first quartersix months of 2018, Exxon Mobil Corporation purchased 5 million shares of its common stock for the treasury at a gross cost of $0.4 billion. These purchases were made to offset shares or units settled in shares issued in conjunction with the company’s benefit plans and programs. Shares outstanding decreased from 4,239 million at year-end to 4,234 million at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2018. Purchases may be made both in the open market and through negotiated transactions, and may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Corporation distributed a total of $3.3$6.8 billion to shareholders in the first quartersix months of 2018 through dividends.
Total cash and cash equivalents of $4.1$3.4 billion at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2018 compared to $3.2 billion at year-end 2017. Total debt at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2018 was $40.6$41.2 billion compared to $42.3 billion at year-end 2017. The Corporation's debt to total capital ratio was 17.217.6 percent at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2018 compared to 17.9 percent at year-end 2017.
The Corporation has access to significant capacity of long-term and short-term liquidity. Internally generated funds are generally expected to cover financial requirements, supplemented by short-term and long-term debt as required. The Corporation, as part of its ongoing asset management program, continues to evaluate its mix of assets for potential upgrade. Because of the ongoing nature of this program, dispositions will continue to be made from time to time which will result in either gains or losses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance its business portfolio through acquisitions of assets or companies, and enters into such transactions from time to time. Key criteria for evaluating acquisitions include potential for future growth and attractive current valuations. Acquisitions may be made with cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or both. Litigation and other contingencies are discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income tax expense increased by $0.6$1.6 billion to $2.5 billion reflecting higher pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate was 4044 percent compared to 3831 percent in the prior year period. This increase mainly reflects the absence of favorable one-time tax items and a higher share of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions. Total other taxes and duties increased by $1.0 billion to $9.0 billion. Total taxes were $22.8 billion for the first six months of 2018, an increase of $4.5 billion from 2017. Income tax expense increased by $2.3 billion to $5.0 billion reflecting higher pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate was 42 percent compared to 35 percent in the prior year period due to a higher share of earnings in higher tax jurisdictions. Total other taxes and duties increased by $1.2$2.2 billion to $8.8$17.8 billion. During the first threesix months of 2018, there were no significant changes to the Corporation’s reasonable estimates of the income tax effects reflected in 2017 for the changes in tax law and tax rate from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and following guidance outlined in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The impact of tax law changes on the Corporation’s financial statements could differ from its estimates due to further analysis of the new law, regulatory guidance, technical corrections legislation, or guidance under U.S. GAAP.GAAP, or other considerations. If significant changes occur, the Corporation will provide updated information in connection with future regulatory filings. In the United States, the Corporation has various ongoing U.S. federal income tax positions at issue with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years beginning in 2006. The IRS has asserted penalties associated with several of those positions. The Corporation has not recognized the penalties as an expense because the Corporation does not expect the penalties to be sustained under applicable law. The Corporation has filed a refund suit for tax years 2006-2009 in a U.S. federal district court with respect to the positions at issue for those years. Unfavorable resolution of all positions at issue with the IRS would not have a materially adverse effect on the Corporation’s net income or liquidity.

Capital and exploration expenditures in the firstsecond quarter of 2018 were $4.9$6.6 billion, up 1769 percent from the second quarter of 2017. Capital and exploration expenditures in the first six months of 2018 were $11.5 billion, up 42 percent from the first quartersix months of 2017.2017 due primarily to increased U.S. drilling activity. The Corporation anticipates an investment level of $24 billion in 2018. Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects and property acquisitions.
In 2013 and 2014, the Corporation and Rosneft established various entities to conduct exploration and research activities. In 2014, the European Union and United States imposed sanctions relating to the Russian energy sector. ExxonMobil continues to comply with all sanctions and regulatory licenses applicable to its affiliates’ investments in the Russian Federation. See Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings in this report for information concerning a civil penalty assessment related to this matter which the Corporation is contesting. The Corporation withdrew from the aforementioned joint ventures with Rosneft, effective April 30, 2018.
The Groningen field is operated by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), a Netherlands company owned 50 percent by affiliates of the Corporation. NAM has a 60 percent interest in the Groningen field. On March 29, 2018, the Dutch Cabinet notified Parliament of its intention to further reduce previously legislated Groningen gas extraction in response to seismic events over the last several years. Affiliates of the Corporation and their partners arehave actively been in discussions with the government on the associated implementation measures. Ifmeasures which resulted in a signed Heads of Agreement (HoA – agreement on principles) on June 25, 2018. The HoA stipulates that additional agreements must be negotiated which will define further details, and the Cabinet’s intentions are implemented,parties will endeavor to execute them by the reduction toend of September. In anticipation of a lower production outlook, the Corporation’sCorporation has reduced its estimate of proved reserves could be up toby 0.8 billion oil-equivalent barrels. In addition, the seismic activity has yielded various claims. Where losses are probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities have been recorded. The Corporation does not expect these matters to have a material effect on the Corporation’s operations or financial condition. While the future production profile and other considerations related to the Groningen field could vary depending on a wide variety of factors, reduced gas extraction in the future is expected to result in lower reported production, earnings and cash flows than in recent years for the Corporation’s share of NAM.
