Concise Financial Report

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO THE CONCISE FINANCIAL REPORT

BlueScope Steel Limited legally separated from the BHP Billiton Group on 22 July 2002, having listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 15 July 2002. For accounting purposes the effective separation date was 1 July 2002, and therefore the financial results for the previous corresponding 12 month period to 30 June 2003 in this report reflect a complete 12 months' results. However, certain cash flows associated with the separation were not complete until after 30 June 2002 and therefore cash flows from investing and financing activities in the previous corresponding period are not reflective of the underlying BlueScope Steel Group which separated from the BHP Billiton Group. Where necessary these transactions have been highlighted in this report.

On 17 November 2003, the Company changed its name from BHP Steel Limited to BlueScope Steel Limited.
