BHP Billiton republished financial information

Basis of preparation of restated financial information

This financial information for the year ended 30 June 2013 and half year ended 31 December 2012 for the BHP Billiton Group (the Group) is not audited and has been prepared to restate previously published information for the effects of new accounting standards and interpretations which became effective in the financial year commencing from 1 July 2013; and to restate for the effects of other voluntary changes in accounting policy. The changes reflected in the attached restated financial information are as follows:

• Consolidation of Minera Escondida Limitada (Escondida). Escondida was previously accounted for on a proportionate consolidation basis whereby the Group recognised its 57.5 per cent share of Escondida’s revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows in its financial statements. On adoption of IFRS 10/AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statement’, the replacement for IAS 27/AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’, Escondida became a controlled entity of the Group. As a result, the restated financial information consolidates 100 per cent of Escondida’s revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows and recognises a 42.5 per cent non-controlling interest in Escondida’s profit and net assets. Upon transition to IFRS 10 on 1 July 2011, an increase in Total Equity of US$2,226 million was recorded on the initial recognition of the non-controlling interests at that date. No other entities which were previously not consolidated under IAS 27 have been determined to be controlled under IFRS 10.

• The application of equity accounting rather than proportionate consolidation for the following investments in joint ventures and associates:

• Compania Minera Antamina SA;

• Carbones del Cerrejon LLC;

• Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group Pty Limited;

• Cleopatra Gas Gathering Company LLC;

• Caesar Oil Pipeline Company LLC;

• Samarco Mineracao SA; and

• Richards Bay Minerals.

The application of equity accounting for these entities arises from IFRS 11/AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’, which replaces IAS 31 ‘Joint Ventures’, and consequential amendments to IAS 28 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’. IFRS 11 modifies the accounting for joint arrangements by changing the definition of joint control; and by creating a distinction between joint ventures and joint operations. Joint ventures are entities in which the Group has rights only to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to the underlying assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement. As a result of these changes, the Group no longer has joint control over certain investments, while other investments are now classified as joint ventures rather than joint operations. In both situations, the investment must be accounted for using equity accounting and the Group can no longer recognise its proportionate share of the revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows of each entity. Instead the Group recognises:

• its share of net assets on a single line, ‘Investments accounted for using the equity method’, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet;

• its share of net profit on a single line, ‘Share of operating profit/(loss) of equity accounted investments’, in the Consolidated Income Statement; and

• cash flows as ‘Dividends received from equity accounted investments’ in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.

Transition to IFRS 11 and revised IAS 28 on 1 July 2011 has resulted in an increase in net assets of US$480 million, reflecting the derecognition of the Group’s share of losses of certain equity accounted investments which exceeded the carrying amount of its interests in those equity accounted investments on transition date. Shares of profits earned after transition date by these loss-making equity accounted investments are not recognised until the previously unrecognised losses have been recouped.

• Adoption of a “component” approach to the accounting for production stripping costs, rather than a “life of mine” approach, in accordance with the requirements of IFRIC 20 ‘Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine’. The Assets affected by the adoption of IFRIC 20 include Escondida, Western Australia Iron Ore, Nickel West and EKATI. IFRIC 20 applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine and modifies the accounting for production stripping, compared to life of mine accounting, as follows:

• requires an entity to recognise a production stripping asset only when:

• It is probable that the future economic benefit (improved access to the ore body) associated with the stripping activity will flow to the entity;

• The entity can identify the component of the ore body for which access has been improved; and

• The costs relating to the stripping activity associated with that component can be measured reliably.

• mandates that stripping activity assets be depreciated on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The units of production method shall be applied unless another method is more appropriate; and

• provides principles to follow in the determination of the adjustment on transition.

The Group has determined a component to be that part of the ore body that is directly accessible as a result of the stripping activity. Depending on the ore body and associated mine plan, each pushback or phase identified in the mine plan will generally constitute a separate component. Before introduction of IFRIC 20, the Group’s accounting for production stripping costs was based on common industry practice in compliance with IFRS principles, using life of mine strip ratios to determine the extent to which stripping costs were capitalised or expensed.

BHP Billiton republished financial information

At the Group’s transition date of 1 July 2011, the net book value of deferred stripping balances for all surface mines was US$2,125 million, after adjusting for the impact of IFRS 10 and 11 as set out above. Application of IFRIC 20 to the Group has resulted in a transition adjustment to reduce the deferred stripping asset by US$1,797 million with a corresponding decrease in net deferred tax liabilities of US$524 million and a decrease in opening total equity of US$1,273 million.

• Reclassification of certain acquired exploration properties as intangible assets rather than tangible assets forming part of property, plant and equipment. The Group has changed its Exploration and Evaluation expenditure policy from 1 July 2013 such that only those acquired exploration leases which can be reasonably associated with known resources (for mineral leases) or known reserves (for petroleum leases) are classified as a tangible asset. All other acquired exploration leases are now classified as an intangible asset. This has resulted in reclassification of capitalised exploration expenditure from Property, plant and equipment to Intangible assets. Prior period comparative information has been restated for consistent presentation with the current period.

• Changes to the presentation of financial income and financial expenses arising from employee benefit plans following amendments to IAS 19/AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’. Previously, ‘Expected return on pension scheme assets’ and ‘Discounting on post-retirement employee benefits’ were reported as separate components of ‘Financial income’ and ‘Financial expenses’ respectively. They are now replaced by a single item ‘Net interest expense (income) on post-retirement employee benefits’ which represents the change in the defined benefit obligation and the plan assets as a result of the passage of time.

bhpbilliton resourcing the future BHP Billiton Group Republished supplementary information For the year ended 30 June 2013 and half year ended 31 December 2012

BHP Billiton republished supplementary financial information

Republished supplementary financial information for the year ended 30 June 2013 and the half year ended 31 December 2012

This supplementary financial information for the year ended 30 June 2013 and half year ended 31 December 2012 for the BHP Billiton Group (the Group) is not audited and has been prepared to restate previously published information for the effects of new accounting standards and interpretations which became effective in the financial year commencing from 1 July 2013; and to restate for the effects of other voluntary changes in accounting policy.

The following notes and definitions are applicable to the tables disclosed in subsequent pages:

• Revenue is based on Group realised prices.

• Underlying EBIT is defined as earnings before net finance costs, taxation and any exceptional items. Underlying EBITDA is Underlying EBIT before depreciation, amortisation and impairments (D&A).

• Group level information is reported on a statutory basis which, in relation to Underlying EBIT, includes net finance costs and taxation for equity accounted investments.

• Within each business table, asset level information for equity accounted investments is reported on a proportionate consolidation basis (with the exception of net operating assets).

• The statutory adjustment in each business table reconciles the proportionately consolidated business total to the statutory result.

• Net operating assets represent operating assets net of operating liabilities and predominantly exclude cash balances, interest bearing liabilities and deferred tax balances. Net operating assets of equity accounted entities represent the balance of the Groups’ investment in equity accounted entities, and therefore include cash balances, interest bearing liabilities and deferred tax balances.

• Capex includes accrued capital expenditure and excludes capitalised interest and capitalised exploration.

• Other, as disclosed within each business, predominantly comprises divisional activities, greenfield exploration, business development and ceased and sold operations, where applicable.
