Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Income Statement

The pro forma financial information has not been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. The 2006 Pro Forma Income Statement and segmental information for the Group is prepared to illustrate the effect the Falconbridge, Cerrejón and Tintaya acquisitions, rights issue, the May 2006 new shares issue and related debt draw downs, would have had if they had taken place on 1 January 2006. The pro forma information for 2006 excludes certain exceptional items relating to the Falconbridge acquisition, so as not to distort the results of the Group by these one off items. The exceptional items excluded include the goodwill impairment and certain restructuring costs.

Following the sale of the aluminium business unit in 2007, the results for aluminium have been reclassified to discontinued operations.
