PART 6
Dividends
The Board declared a second interim dividend (in lieu of a final dividend) of
8 US cents per share, making a total dividend for the year of 12 US cents per
share, compared with 11.25 US cents for the previous year.
As the BHP Billiton Plc Group generates cash flows primarily in US dollars,
dividends are also declared in US dollars. These are payable in sterling to
shareholders on the United Kingdom section of the register, and in South
African rand to shareholders on the South African section of the register. The
rates of exchange applicable two business days before the declaration date are
used for conversation.

The BHP Billiton Plc Group's acquisitions, expansion project completions and
improvement in profitability contributed to a 32% rise in operating cash flow
(including dividends from joint ventures) to US$1,507 million. After taxation,
maintenance capital expenditure and exploration, fixed assets disposals, net
interest and investment income, and dividends paid, the BHP Billiton Plc Group
generated a positive free cash flow of US$509 million, compared with US$417
million for the previous year.
Completion of major expansion programmes during the year resulted in a
reduction in expansionary capital expenditure, other than the acquisition of
the additional 56% interest in Worsley, to US$293 million. The main
contributors were the completion of construction of the Mozal smelter (US$59
million), the Cerro Matoso expansion (US$84 million) and the Worsley expansion
(US$24 million). Net acquisitions of businesses and investments, mainly
comprising Rio Algom, the strategic participation in Valepar SA which brings
an indirect interest of 2% in CVRD and the acquisition of interests in two
coal businesses in Colombia (Cerrejon Zona Norte SA and Carbones del Cerrejon)
amounted to US$2,508 million. This expenditure was partially offset by the
capital raising of US$850 million and by exchange adjustments of US$121
million. Over the year, net debt increased by US$2,803 million to US$3,986
million at 30 June 2001.
Balance sheet
Equity shareholders' funds increased from US$4,759 million at 30 June 2000 to
US$5,900 million at 30 June 2001, a rise of 24%. Of this increase US$850
million related to the placing of 235 million ordinary shares in September
2000. The placing comprised 181.1 million new shares and all of the 53.9
million shares held under the share repurchase scheme. Net assets per share
rose from 230 US cents to 254 US cents over the same period.
Net debt of US$3,986 million at 30 June 2001 represents 67.6% of shareholders'
funds. This net debt figure comprises US$687 million of cash, including money
market deposits, offset by US$4,673 million of total debt. The breakdown of
net debt by currency is as follows:
US$m
Net debt denominated in:
US dollars 3,139

Australian dollars 6
Canadian dollars 227
Other currencies 4
Net debt 3,986
Rio Algom
In October 2000, the BHP Billiton Plc Group acquired all the outstanding
shares of Rio Algom Limited. The purchase consideration and costs of
acquisition amounted to US$1,187 million, which has provisionally been
allocated as follows:
US$m
Book value under Canadian GAAP 1,117
Adjustment for UK GAAP and Group accounting policies (348)
Other revaluation adjustments 367
Fair value of net assets acquired 1,136
Goodwill 51
1,187
Working capital
Net working capital increased by US$320 million during the year to US$979
million at 30 June 2001. Of this increase US$248 million related to
acquisitions and other one-off items, with the remainder associated with the
ramp-up of new production at Mozal, Worsley and Cerro Matoso.

Currency
Currency fluctuations affect the profit and loss account in two ways.
Sales are predominantly based on US dollar pricing (the principal exception
being Ingwe's sales to South African domestic customers). However, a
proportion of operating costs (particularly labour) arise in the local
currency of the operations, most significantly the South African rand, but
also the Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Chilean peso and Colombian peso.
Accordingly, changes in the exchange rates between these currencies and the US
dollar can have a significant impact on the Group's reported margin.
Certain subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in local currency,
which are then translated into their functional currency (US dollars) for
reporting purposes. The temporal method is used to convert their accounts from
local currency to US dollars; fixed assets and other non-monetary assets and
liabilities are converted at historical rates, and monetary assets and
liabilities at the closing rate. The resultant differences are accounted for
in the consolidated profit and loss account in accordance with UK GAAP.
The following exchange rates have been utilised in this report:
