Basic earnings per share (US$):
Profit for the financial period 1.74 0.77 1.25
Headline profit for the financial period 0.58 0.61 1.28
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period. The average number of shares in
issue excludes the shares held by the employee benefit trust.
A three-for-one bonus share issue was approved at the Extraordinary General
Meeting held on 4 May 2001 and 1,222,983,732 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each
were allotted to shareholders on the register at that date. The earnings per
share statistics for the six months ended 30 June 2000 and year ended 31
December 2000 have been restated as if this allotment had occurred at the
beginning of that year. On 11 June 2001, 163,212,568 ordinary shares
(40,803,142 pre-bonus shares and 122,409,426 bonus shares) arising from the
Group's interest in De Beers were cancelled. The impact on earnings per share
has been included on a prospective basis.
Basic earnings per share are also shown based on headline profit, which the
directors believe to be a useful additional measure of the Group's past
performance. Headline earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the
definition in the Institute of Investment Management and Research ('IIMR')
Statement of Investment Practice No. 1, 'The Definition of IIMR Headline
Earnings'.

Independent review report to Anglo American plc
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information
for the six months ended 30 June 2001 set out on pages 13 to 24. We have read
the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether
it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the
Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority, which require that the
accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be
consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts
except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with the guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom.
A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and
applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying
financial data and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies
and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A
review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification
of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit performed in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards
and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six
months ended 30 June 2001.
