Financial Instruments and Derivatives The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The estimated fair value of total long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations, at December 31, 2009, and 2008, was $7.7 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively, as compared to recorded book values of $7.1 billion and $7.0 billion. The fair value hierarchy for long-term debt is primarily Level 2 (observable input). 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. As a result, the Corporation makes limited use of derivatives to mitigate the impact of such changes. The Corporation does not engage in speculative derivative activities or derivative trading activities nor does it use derivatives with leveraged features. The Corporation maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity. The Corporation’s limited derivative activities pose no material credit or market risks to ExxonMobil’s operations, financial condition or liquidity. The estimated fair value of derivatives outstanding and recorded on the balance sheet was a net payable of $5 million at year-end 2009 and a net receivable of $118 million at year-end 2008. This is the amount that the Corporation would have paid to, or received from, third parties if these derivatives had been settled in the open market. The Corporation recognized a before-tax loss of $60 million and a before-tax gain of $89 million and $66 million related to derivatives during 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The fair value of derivatives outstanding at year-end 2009 and loss recognized during the year are immaterial in relation to the Corporation’s year-end cash balance of $10.7 billion, total assets of $233.3 billion or net income for the year of $19.3 billion. </div> 12.
