Basis of Preparation
The results of the BHP Billiton Group, comprising BHP Billiton Limited and BHP
Billiton Plc, for the half year ended 31 December 2001 have been prepared in
accordance with Australian GAAP and Practice Note 71 'Financial reporting by
Australian entities in dual listed company arrangements' issued by the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). 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
