Australian regulatory requirements do not allow the combination of the results of BHP Billiton Limited with those of BHP Billiton Plc for periods prior to consummation of the DLC merger on 29 June 2001. With effect from 1 July 2001, the majority of BHP Billiton Limited's businesses changed to US dollars, the functional currency of the combined BHP Billiton Group. This is consistent with BHP Billiton Plc and is the basis on which the combined BHP Billiton Limited Group manages its businesses. Most BHP Billiton commodities are sold in US dollars and are predominantly destined for export markets. Except for the effect of the functional currency change, the financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as were used in preparing the results for the BHP Billiton Limited Group as presented in the BHP Billiton Limited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2001. The results are subject to independent review by the auditors. The statutory BHP Billiton Limited Interim Report will be lodged with ASIC and released to the ASX in March 2002. This information will be available to shareholders on request.
