The transaction is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2010, subject to Canadian and Chinese government approvals. Syncrude met the held-for-sale criteria during the second quarter, and we expect it to be reflected as held for sale in our June 30, 2010, balance sheet. The carrying value of our Syncrude net assets at March 31, 2010, was $1,793 million. In addition, there is an associated net deferred tax liability of $414 million. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false Disclosure includes the facts and circumstances leading to the completed or expected disposal, manner and timing of disposal, the gain or loss recognized in the income statement and the income statement caption that includes that gain or loss, amounts of revenues and pretax profit or loss reported in discontinued operations, the segment in which the disposal group was reported, and the classification (whether sold or classified as held for sale) and carrying value of the assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group.
