Adoption of IFRS-Part 2

Anglo American PLC 9 May 2005 PART 2 7. INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ANGLO AMERICAN PLC ON THE PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2004 In accordance with our engagement letter dated 6th May 2005, we have reviewed: • the accompanying preliminary International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") consolidated financial information of Anglo American plc for the six months ended 30 June 2004, excluding the impact of IAS 32 and IAS 39, which comprises the consolidated income statement, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement, the reconciliation of equity, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of recognised income and expense and related notes 1 to 11 (hereinafter referred to as "the preliminary financial information"); and • the pro forma consolidated financial information, including the impact of IAS 32 and IAS 39, which comprises the consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet (hereinafter referred to as "the pro forma financial information"). This preliminary financial information and pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Company's directors. They have been prepared by management as part of the Company's conversion to IFRS in accordance with the " Basis of Preparation" set out in Section 3, which describes how IFRSs have been applied under IFRS 1, including the assumptions management has made about the standards and interpretations expected to be effective, and Section 5 which describes the accounting policies expected to be adopted, when management prepares its first complete set of IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2005. In preparing that first complete set of IFRS financial statements management expects to take the option in IFRS 1 not to restate the 2004 comparatives for IAS 32 and IAS 39. However, in order to provide comparable information management has chosen to prepare the pro forma financial information which assumes the application of IAS 32 and IAS 39 to transactions and financial instruments to entities other than those disposed of in 2004 and to contracts other than those containing embedded derivatives that no longer existed as at 1 January 2005 and the application of hedge accounting where management believes it is appropriate to assume the relevant accounting criteria regarding documentation and testing of effectiveness could have been met even though the necessary documentation was not in place. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial information and pro forma financial information based on our review. Our report has been prepared solely for the exclusive use of the directors and solely for the purpose of assisting them in connection with Anglo American plc's conversion of the basis of the preparation of the financial statements to IFRSs. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the directors those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. We do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the directors for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical procedures to the preliminary financial information and pro forma financial information and underlying financial data and, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of control and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the preliminary financial information or the pro forma financial information. Emphasis of matter Without modifying our review opinion, we draw attention to the fact that there is a possibility that the accompanying preliminary financial information and pro forma financial information may require adjustment before constituting the final financial information and final pro forma financial information for inclusion in the IFRS interim information for the six months ending 30 June 2005. This is because, as set out in section 1, International Accounting Standards are subject to on going review and possible amendment. Moreover, we draw attention to the fact that, under IFRSs, only a complete set of financial statements comprising an income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, together with comparative financial information and explanatory notes, can provide a fair presentation of the group's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with IFRSs. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying preliminary financial information and pro forma financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2004 which has been prepared in accordance with the basis set out in the "Basis of preparation" set out in Section 3 and accounting policies set out in Section 5. Deloitte & Touche LLP Chartered Accountants London 9th May 2005 8. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ANGLO AMERICAN PLC ON THE PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 1 JANUARY 2004 In accordance with our engagement letter dated 6th May 2005, we have audited the accompanying preliminary International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") consolidated financial information of Anglo American plc as at 1 January 2004, excluding the impact of IAS 32 and 39, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet and reconciliation of equity (hereinafter referred to as "the preliminary financial information"). This financial information is the responsibility of the Company's directors. It has been prepared as part of the Company's conversion to IFRS in accordance with the "Basis of Preparation" set out in Section 3, which describes how IFRSs have been applied under IFRS 1, including the assumptions management has made about the standards and interpretations expected to be effective, and Section 5 which describes the accounting policies expected to be adopted, when management prepares its first complete set of IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2005. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial information based on our audit. Our report has been prepared solely for the exclusive use of the directors and solely for the purpose of assisting them in connection with Anglo American plc's conversion of the basis of the preparation of the financial statements to IFRSs. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the directors those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. We do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the directors for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Basis of audit opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the preliminary financial information is free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the preliminary financial information. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the preliminary financial information. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Emphasis of matter Without qualifying our audit opinion, we draw attention to the fact that there is a possibility that the accompanying preliminary financial information may require adjustment before constituting the final financial information. This is because, as set out in section 1, International Accounting Standards are subject to on going review and possible amendment. Moreover, we draw attention to the fact that, under IFRS, only a complete set of financial statements comprising an income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, together with comparative financial information and explanatory notes, can provide a fair presentation of the Group's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with IFRSs. Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying preliminary financial information as at 1 January 2004 has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis set out in the "Basis of preparation" set out in Section 3 and accounting policies set out in Section 5. Deloitte & Touche LLP Chartered Accountants London 9th May 2005 Appendix I - Pro forma IAS 32 and 39 Financial Information Accounting policies Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade receivables Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Trade payables Trade payables are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value. Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Investments Investments, other than investments in joint ventures and associates, are initially recorded at cost. At subsequent reporting dates, financial assets that the Group has the expressed intention and ability to hold to maturity (" held-to-maturity") are measured at amortised cost, less any impairment. The amortisation of any discount or premium on the acquisition of a held-to-maturity investment is recognised in the income statement in each period using the effective interest method. Investments other than those classified as held-to-maturity are classified as either "fair value through profit or loss" which includes investments held for trading as a sub-category or "available-for-sale" investments, other than " held-to-maturity" investments, are measured at each reporting date at fair value. Where investments are held for trading purposes, unrealised gains and losses are included in the income statement account for the period. For available-for-sale investments, unrealised gains and losses are recognised in equity, until the security is disposed or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in the income statement account. Financial liability and equity Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for as debt or equity according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Convertible bonds Convertible bonds denominated in the functional currency of the entity issuing the bond, are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt and is recorded within borrowings. The difference between the proceeds of issue of the convertible bond and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded option to convert the liability into equity of the Group, is included in equity. Where the embedded option is in a convertible bond denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity issuing the bond, the option is classified as a liability, in accordance with IFRIC guidance issued in their published update following their April 2005 meeting. The option is marked to market with subsequent gains and losses being recorded through the income statement within "net finance costs". Issue costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bonds where appropriate based on their relative carrying amounts at the date of issue. The portion relating to the equity component is charged directly against equity. The interest expense on the liability component is calculated by applying the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt to the liability component of the instrument. The difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying amount of the convertible bond. Bank borrowings Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct transaction costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis and charged to the income statement using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting In order to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price risk, the Group enters into forward, option and swap contracts. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivatives are held at fair value in the balance sheet within "other financial assets" or "other financial liabilities", and are classified as current or non current depending on the maturity of the derivative. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flow are recognised directly in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement account. If the cash flow hedge of a firm commitment or forecasted transaction results in the recognition of an asset or a liability, then, at the time the asset or liability is recognised, the associated gains or losses on the derivative that had previously been recognised in equity are included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability. For hedges that do not result in the recognition of an asset or a liability, amounts deferred in equity are recognised in the income statement in the same period in which the hedged item affects net profit or loss. For an effective hedge of an exposure to changes in fair value, the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the risk being hedged with the corresponding entry in profit or loss. Gains or losses from re-measuring the derivative, or for non-derivatives the foreign currency component of its carrying amount, are recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss on hedging instruments relating to the effective portion of a net investment hedge is recognised in equity. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement account. Gains or losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement account when the foreign operations are disposed of. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that are not hedge accounted are recognised immediately in the income statement account. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If a hedge transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in the income statement of the period. Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of their host contracts and the host contracts are not carried at fair value with unrealised gains or losses reported in the income statement.
