Notes to the Preliminary Announcement
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The results for the full year ended 31 December 2002 have been prepared in
accordance with UK generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting
policies applied are those set out in AstraZeneca PLC's 2001 Annual Report and
Form 20-F except that, in the current period, AstraZeneca adopted Financial
Reporting Standard No. 19 'Deferred Tax'. Prior periods have been restated and
the effects of this restatement were to reduce profits for the full year ended
31 December 2001 by $61m and reduce net assets at that date by $193m. The table
below illustrates the effect on EPS before exceptional items of this
restatement.
The results for the year ended 31 December 2002 presented in this preliminary
announcement are extracted from, and are consistent with, those in the Group's
audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2002 and those
financial statements will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following
the Company's Annual General Meeting.
2001 TAXATION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE BEFORE EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS

Tax charge before adoption of FRS 19 ($m) (316) (269) (286) (282) (1,153)
Tax charge after adoption of FRS 19 ($m) (315) (289) (295) (315) (1,214)
Published EPS before adoption of FRS 19 ($) 0.45 . 0.42 0.43 0.47 1.77
Adjusted EPS after adoption of FRS 19 ($) 0.45 0.41 0.42 0.45 1.73
As part of AstraZeneca's objective to align with accounting best practice, cash
discounts arising from prompt payment of invoices have been reclassified from
cost of sales to sales. Comparatives have also been reclassified for
consistency of presentation. Both sales and cost of sales have been reduced by
$74m in the fourth quarter 2002 and $287m in the current year (2001 $258m, 2000
$221m). Furthermore, neither profits nor net assets have been affected. The
change has minimal impact on previously stated sales growth rates. The
reclassified quarterly sales figures are presented below. Additional detail at
the product and territorial level are available on the AstraZeneca website.

accounts of the Group within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act
1985. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2001 have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was
unqualified and did not contain any statement under Section 237 of the Companies
Act 1985.
2 JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES
The Group's share of joint ventures' sales for the year ended 31 December 2002

Information for US Investors
RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Group profit and loss account and Group balance sheet set out on pages 9, 10
and 11 are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP) which differ in certain material respects from
those generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). The differences as
they apply to AstraZeneca PLC are explained in the Group's 2001 Annual Report
and Form 20-F except that, in the current year, AstraZeneca adopted SFAS No141 '
Business Combinations' and SFAS No142 'Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets'.
As a result goodwill is no longer amortised but tested annually for impairment.
The effect has been to increase profit by approximately $755m. The approximate
effects on Group income and shareholders' equity of the GAAP differences are
shown below.
