Tue 5 Jul 2005, 11:26 Restatement of Financial Information under IFRS
SABMiller plc - Restatement of Financial Information under International        
                Financial Reporting Standards                                   
SABMiller plc

Restatement of Financial Information under International Financial Reporting    
Standards                                                                       
SABMiller plc currently prepares its financial statements under United Kingdom  
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP). As part of its preparation  
for the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),         
SABMiller plc is today making available financial information for the year ended
31 March 2005 in accordance with IFRS.                                          
The adoption of IFRS represents an accounting change only, and does not affect  
the underlying operations or cash flows of the group. The IFRS financial        
information in this document is unaudited.

*EBITA comprises profit before interest, tax, goodwill amortisation and before  
one-off items.  EBIT comprises profit before interest, tax and one-off items.   
**The calculation of adjusted earnings is given in table 1.                     
The most significant changes from UK GAAP to IFRS are:                          
The reversal of amortisation of goodwill which increases profit before tax by   
US$366 million but has no impact on EBITA or adjusted earnings.                 
A pre-tax increase in post-retirement costs of US$4 million impacting all       
measures shown above, and an additional one-off credit of US$104 million        
relating to certain changes in the group`s post-retirement arrangements which   
does not affect EBITA or adjusted earnings.                                     
The inclusion of a charge, based on fair value, in respect of outstanding share-
based awards granted after 7 November 2002. This increases net operating costs  
by US$6 million.                                                                
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
2                                                                               
Background to the change                                                        
SABMiller plc has previously prepared its financial statements under UK GAAP.   
For the purposes of this announcement all references to UK GAAP relate to the   
accounting policies adopted by SABMiller plc as set out in the SABMiller plc    
annual report for the year ended 31 March 2005.  From 1 April 2005 onwards, the 
group is required to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance
with IFRS as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and implemented in the UK.     
This change applies to all of the group`s financial reporting for accounting    
periods beginning on 1 April 2005. The group`s date of transition to IFRS under 
IFRS1 (First-time adoption of IFRS) was 1 April 2004.  The group`s first        
published IFRS results will be for the six months to 30 September 2005 and the  
first full year IFRS results will be for the year ending 31 March 2006. The 2006
financial statements will include comparatives for 2005 which will be restated  
to IFRS, other than with respect to IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Disclosure   
and Presentation) and IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and            
Measurement).                                                                   
To explain how the group`s reported performance and financial position are      
affected by this change, set out in tables 1 to 7 is a comparison of key UK GAAP
figures for the interim and full 2005 financial year to unaudited restated IFRS 
results.                                                                        
Basis of preparation of IFRS information                                        
The key figures set out in tables 1 to 7 are based on the IFRS expected to be   
applicable at 31 March 2006, and the interpretation of those standards. IFRS are
subject to possible amendment by and interpretative guidance from the           
International Accounting Standards Board, as well as ongoing review and         
endorsement by the EU, and are thus subject to change.  The IFRS figures in     
tables 1 to 7 may therefore be subject to changes in the basis of accounting    
and/or presentation of certain financial information before their inclusion in  
the IFRS financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2006 when the group  
prepares its first complete set of IFRS financial statements.                   
IFRS 1 Exemptions                                                               
IFRS1 (First-time adoption of IFRS) permits certain exemptions from the full    
requirements of IFRS to companies adopting IFRS for the first time. The group   
expects to apply the following transitional provisions:                         
Business combinations (including acquisitions) recognised before the date of    
transition (1 April 2004) have not been restated.                               
Fixed assets held at historical cost have not been revalued; therefore          
depreciation and impairment tests will continue to be based on historical cost. 
IAS 32 and IAS 39 are applied prospectively from 1 April 2005, therefore hedge  
documentation and effectiveness is only measured from that date.                
Cumulative currency translation differences on foreign net investments          
recognised separately in equity have been reset to US$Nil at the date of        
transition.                                                                     
The cost of share options granted prior to 7 November 2002 has not been         
recognised in the income statement.                                             
The accumulated actuarial gains and losses with regards to employee defined     
benefit post-retirement plans have been recognised in full in the opening IFRS  
balance sheet as at 1 April 2004.                                               
Convertible bonds have not been split into component values if the bond has been
repaid by the transition date for financial instruments, which was 1 April 2005.
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
3                                                                               
Significant Changes                                                             
The most significant areas of change are as follows;                            
(Tables 1 to 7 are cross referenced to the notes below where relevant.)         
Goodwill                                                                        
Under UK GAAP, goodwill is amortised over its estimated useful life (the group  
typically applies a 20 year life to goodwill, with the exception of goodwill in 
Amalgamated Beverage Industries (ABI) which has an indefinite life and has been 
subjected to annual impairment reviews).                                        
Under IFRS, the amortisation of goodwill is no longer permitted and goodwill is 
reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. As a result the amortisation charge 
of US$366 million recorded in 2005 is reversed.  As a consequence of this       
change, the profit attributable to minority interests also increases by US$22   
million.                                                                        
Post-retirement benefits                                                        
Under UK GAAP, the group accounts for post-retirement benefits under SSAP24     
(Accounting for Pension Costs), whereby the costs of providing pensions and     
other post-employment benefits are charged against operating profit on a        
systematic basis with surpluses and deficits arising allocated over the expected
average remaining service lives of current employees. The group disclosed the   
impact of accounting for pensions under FRS 17 (Retirement Benefits) by way of  
footnote, as required by the FRS 17 transitional arrangements.                  
Under IFRS, the impact on the income statement is that the unwinding of the     
discounting on liabilities and the expected return on assets are included in    
operating profit. The impact on the balance sheet is that the full actuarial    
surplus or deficit is recognised. The more volatile components of movements in  
surpluses and deficits (actuarial gains and losses) are recorded as a movement  
in shareholders` funds in line with the amendments to IAS 19 (Employee Benefits)
although this is subject to endorsement by the EU.                              
The new IFRS rules primarily affect Miller in North America and Beer South      
Africa. The ongoing income statement effect of this change is an additional cost
of US$4 million in 2005.                                                        
The costs in North America have risen by US$7 million, offset by a credit in    
Beer South Africa of US$3 million (the latter of which is not expected to recur 
in 2006).                                                                       
The pre-tax IFRS adjustments to post-retirement benefits are summarised below:  
                                                      US$m                      
North America                                                                   
Pensions                                              (5)

                                                      (7)                       
Beer South Africa                                                               
Pensions                                              (4)                       
Other post-retirement costs                           7                         
                                                      3                         
Total                                                 (4)                       
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
4                                                                               
During 2005 Miller also revised its post-retirement arrangements. The effect of 
the changes in plans and the capping of post-retirement medical healthcare      
liabilities results in a credit to the 2005 IFRS income statement of some US$104
million (US$63 million net of tax). This represents the savings associated with 
past service. This has been treated as a one-off item.                          
The impact of all post-retirement benefit adjustments on the IFRS opening       
balance sheet as at 1 April 2004 is to reduce net assets by US$80 million net of
deferred tax.  The reduction at 31 March 2005 is US$147 million net of deferred 
tax.                                                                            
Share-based payments                                                            
Under UK GAAP, only certain share-based plans (where the grant price is less    
than the market price at the date of grant) result in a charge to operating     
profit over the performance period on a straight line basis.                    
Under IFRS, all share-based awards granted after 7 November 2002 result in a    
charge to operating profit over the performance period on a straight line basis.
The additional cost to the group in 2005 includes extra costs for certain share-
based plans and results in the recognition of an additional pre-tax charge for  
2005 of US$6 million.                                                           
As more option tranches are covered by the new rules the costs in relation to   
share-based payments will rise under IFRS. It is anticipated that the ongoing   
annual cost compared to UK GAAP will be some US$10 -14 million in 2006.         
Presentation of associates                                                      
Under UK GAAP, operating profit, net interest, taxation and minority interests  
include the group`s share of associates` results.                               
Under IFRS, the income statement only includes the group`s share of the post-tax
and minority results of associates as one line before the group`s pre-tax       
profit.                                                                         
In order to aid comparison of results across segments, the group intends to     
present an operating profit/EBIT measure in the segmental analysis which will   
include associates in the same format as subsidiaries.                          
IFRS application to associates                                                  
As a result of the non-amortisation of goodwill, profits from associates        
increase by US$15 million for 2005. Other net charges of US$9 million for 2005  
principally arise in respect of share-based payments, inventories, intangibles  
and property, plant and equipment.                                              
The application of IFRS, including the non-amortisation of goodwill, increases  
the group`s carrying value of associates as at 31 March 2005 by US$9 million.   
Certain of the group`s associates continue to work on the restatement of IFRS in
their own results. Any further changes arising will be reflected in the group   
IFRS position as at 30 September 2005 in the interim results for the year ending
31 March 2006.                                                                  
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
5                                                                               
Agricultural assets                                                             
Under UK GAAP, agricultural assets are not separately recorded.                 
Under IFRS, agricultural assets are recognised on the balance sheet at fair     
value with gains/losses recorded in the income statement. The additional US$2   
million cost for 2005 relates to sugar plantations in Honduras and hop farms in 
South Africa.                                                                   
Taxation                                                                        
Under UK GAAP, the group recognises deferred tax on timing differences that     
arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods      
different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements   
(an income statement approach).                                                 
Under IFRS, deferred tax is recognised in respect of nearly all taxable         
temporary differences arising between the tax base and the accounting book value
of balance sheet items (a balance sheet approach). This results in deferred tax 
being recognised on certain timing differences that would not have given rise to
deferred tax under UK GAAP. Excluding the net impact of deferred tax on post-   
retirement schemes, the IFRS impact on other deferred tax assets and liabilities
is a reduction in net assets of US$108 million in the opening IFRS balance sheet
and US$119 million as at 31 March 2005.                                         
Upon the adoption of IFRS, deferred tax is recognised on unremitted earnings of 
subsidiaries and associates, unless the group is able to demonstrate that the   
dividend policy cannot be changed without its consent and it is unlikely that   
those earnings will be paid as dividends in the foreseeable future.             
The group has recognised an additional US$7 million deferred tax charge in the  
2005 income statement primarily with respect to unremitted earnings of          
associates.                                                                     
Exceptional items                                                               
Under UK GAAP, gains and loses on the disposal of subsidiaries, associates,     
fixed asset investments and tangible fixed assets are shown as exceptional items
below operating profit (non-operating exceptionals).                            
IFRS does not contain the same specific rules related to the presentation of    
exceptional items, but does require disclosure of additional items where        
necessary to assist in the understanding of an entity`s financial performance. A
reclassification of US$366 million exceptional profit under UK GAAP previously  
recognised below operating profit has been made to move the UK GAAP non-        
operating exceptional items back into operating profit. The group will continue 
to separately identify significant and one-off items previously treated as      
exceptional under UK GAAP. These will all be recognised within operating profit.
In addition, the group will continue to present the adjusted earnings per share 
and operating profit before exceptional items measures.                         
Dividends                                                                       
Under UK GAAP, dividends for the period are provided for in the results for that
period.                                                                         
Under IFRS, the dividends for the period are provided in the results in the     
period during which they are approved.

6                                                                               
Balance Sheet reclassifications                                                 
Capitalised software                                                            
Under UK GAAP, software assets are included as part of property, plant and      
equipment.                                                                      
Under IFRS, unless they are integral to another tangible fixed asset, software  
assets are recognised as intangible assets.                                     
Debtors                                                                         
Under UK GAAP, debtors are generally shown as a one line entry in current assets
unless they are deemed to be highly significant for separate disclosure on the  
face of the balance sheet.                                                      
Under IFRS, debtors due within one year are recognised as current assets and    
debtors due after more than one year are recognised as non-current assets on the
face of the balance sheet.                                                      
Deferred tax assets and liabilities                                             
Under UK GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown as part of current 
debtors and provisions on the face of the balance sheet.                        
Under IFRS, deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented separately on the 
face of the balance sheet under IFRS.                                           
Provisions                                                                      
Under UK GAAP, provisions are presented as a one line entry on the balance      
sheet.                                                                          
Under IFRS, provisions likely to fall due within one year are recognised as     
current liabilities and provisions likely to fall due after more than one year  
are recognised as long-term liabilities on the face of the balance sheet.       
Other IFRS Adjustments                                                          
Other IFRS adjustments result in an increase in net assets of US$16 million at  
31 March 2005 and include the following items:                                  
Buyout of minority shares in Birra Peroni and ABI                               
Upon the adoption of IFRS goodwill is recognised on the buy out of minority     
interests in subsidiaries as the difference between the value of IFRS net assets
acquired and the consideration paid.                                            
The buyout of minority interests in Birra Peroni SpA and ABI increased goodwill 
due to changes within deferred tax.  As a consequence, this reduced equity      
attributable to minority interests by US$11 million and US$1 million            
respectively.                                                                   
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
7                                                                               
Foreign currency translations                                                   
Under UK GAAP if a derivative instrument has been entered into which is linked  
to the settlement of a foreign currency asset or liability the exchange rate of 
the derivative can be used to translate the foreign currency amount.            
Under IFRS the closing rate exchange rate must be used with the derivative      
effect recognised separately.                                                   
The group has a sterling denominated private note of GBP40 million covered by   
such an arrangement - the value of the loan at 31 March 2005 rises by US$14     
million and an equivalent US$14 million asset is recognised in debtors (1 April 
2004 adjustment US$14 million). The full adoption of IAS32 and 39 as at 1 April 
2005 will not change this position materially.                                  
In addition, exchange differences arising on the translation of IFRS adjustments
to net assets, together with differences between IFRS income statement          
adjustments translated at average and closing rates, are shown as a movement in 
shareholders` funds.                                                            
Prepaid interest                                                                
Under UK GAAP, prepaid interest is included as part of prepayments in debtors on
the face of the balance sheet.                                                  
Under IFRS, prepaid interest is recognised as part of the debt balance to which 
it is related. Therefore, prepaid interest is reallocated to current and non-   
current liabilities in the same manner.                                         
Spare parts                                                                     
Spare parts previously held in inventory under UK GAAP have been reallocated to 
tangible fixed assets under IFRS where the part is deemed to be a major spare   
part that will be in use for more than one year when installed.                 
Other Matters                                                                   
Excise                                                                          
Unlike value added tax, excise is not directly related to the value of sales. It
is not generally recognised as a separate item on invoices, increases in excise 
are not always directly passed on to customers, and the group cannot reclaim the
excise where customers do not pay for product received. Under UK GAAP, the group
therefore considered excise as a cost to the group and reflected it as a        
production cost and consequently any excise that is recovered in the sale price 
is included in revenue. The group believes the current UK GAAP treatment of     
excise within revenue continues to be appropriate under IFRS. Therefore, no IFRS
adjustment has been made to revenue. The matter will be kept under review.      
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
8                                                                               
Segmental analysis                                                              
Under IFRS, the group will continue to report on a regional segmental basis     
(refer to table 2). Following the acquisition in December 2004 of the remaining 
shares in ABI, a programme of work has begun to establish and leverage the      
benefits from the combination of our beverage businesses in South Africa.       
Results for South Africa Beverages are now shown as one segment.                
In addition to statutory requirements under IFRS, the group will present an     
operating profit/EBIT measure on a segmental basis which will include associates
in the same format as subsidiaries, before interest, tax and minority interests,
to allow for consistent comparison of results across segments.                  
Under IFRS, share-based payments are allocated on a segmental basis. This was   
not the case under UK GAAP.                                                     
Earnings per share (EPS)                                                        
Under both UK GAAP and IFRS, basic earnings per share is derived from the       
earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the average number of 
ordinary shares in issue during the period (excluding shares held by employee   
share trusts and by Safari Ltd).                                                
Under both UK GAAP and IFRS, adjusted earnings per share uses the same number of
shares with profit adjusted to exclude the impact of amortisation, capital items
and other one-off items.                                                        
Cash and cash equivalents                                                       
Under UK GAAP, the cash flow statement presents changes in cash.                
Under IFRS, the cash flow statement presents changes in cash and cash           
equivalents (certain short-term highly liquid investments that are readily      
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant  
risk of changes in value).                                                      
Although the format of the cash flow statement will change under IFRS, and net  
debt will change to reflect prepaid interest, cash flows are unaffected. A full 
reconciliation of net debt will continue to be provided.                        
Financial instruments                                                           
IAS32 and IAS39 on financial instruments will be applied prospectively from 1   
April 2005.  Consequently the restated figures for the 2005 financial year (1   
April 2004 - 31 March 2005) do not reflect the impact of these standards.       
These are complex standards and are continuing to change. On the current        
understanding of IAS32 and IAS39, it is expected that the main implication of   
applying these standards in the 2006 financial year will be as follows:         
The group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign
exchange and interest rate risks arising from operational, financing and        
investment activities.  The group does not hold derivatives for trading purposes
but under IFRS, if the tests for hedge accounting are not met, the derivatives  
are treated as if held for trading purposes.  For many derivatives used by the  
group it is possible to obtain hedge accounting or the implications of not doing
so are not considered material.                                                 
IFRS RESTATEMENT                                                                
9                                                                               
Under UK GAAP, the book value of derivative financial instruments (cross        
currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts) in respect of borrowings 
and short-term deposits was included in their carrying value on the balance     
sheet.                                                                          
Under IFRS, the fair value of these derivatives is shown separately on the      
balance sheet.                                                                  
Available for sale investments will be marked to market with changes in value   
taken to equity and recycled to income when the investment is sold.  This is not
expected to have a material impact on the group.                                
Although the 31 March 2005 balance sheet will not be restated to show the effect
of adopting IAS 32 and IAS 39, the balance sheet as at 1 April 2005 will be     
restated to show the effect of retrospective application of these standards.    
This will be provided in the publication of the first half result for 2006.     
IFRS RESTATEMENT

The effect of the change to IFRS on the income statement for the year ended 31  
March 2005 is as follows:

Statutory information presented from 30 September 2005 onwards will disclose the
group`s share of post-tax and minority results of associates on the face of the 
income statement and in the analysis of group EBIT in the segmental disclosures.
*The results above include associates` profit before interest (US$24 million),  
tax (US$75 million) and minority interests (US$17 million) which allows for     
consistent comparison of results across the segments. When these items are      
deducted from the group results of US$2,811 million above, the group profit     
before interest and tax is US$2,695 million, as stated in the income statement.
