Final Results Part 3

Jardine Matheson Hldgs Ld 26 February 2003 Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited Notes 1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation The financial information contained in this announcement has been based on the audited results for the year ended 31st December 2002 which have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), including International Acounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2001 annual financial statements. As explained in the 2001 annual financial statements, IFRS do not permit the valuation of leasehold interests in land. This treatment does not reflect the generally accepted accounting practice in the territories in which the Group has significant leasehold interests, nor how management measures the performance of the Group. Accordingly, the Group has presented supplementary financial information on pages 16 to 20 and pages 23 and 24 prepared in accordance with IFRS as modified by the revaluation of leasehold properties. 2.
