Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 22, 2008, ConocoPhillips issued a press release announcing the company's financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  Additional financial and operating information about the quarter is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  

The press release contains the following measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP):

We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because, in management's opinion, excluding the second-quarter 2007 charge associated with the complete impairment of our expropriated Venezuelan oil interests is a better indicator of the company's ongoing earnings and earnings per share, and is therefore more useful in comparing the Company's results with prior and future periods.
