6. Special items and remeasurements                                             
`Special items" are those items of financial performance that the Group
believes should be separately disclosed on the face of the income statement     
to assist in the understanding of the underlying financial performance          
achieved by the Group and its businesses. Such items are material by nature     
or amount to the period"s results and require separate disclosure in
accordance with IAS 1.86.  Special items that relate to the operating           
performance of the business are classified as special operating items and       
include impairment charges and reversals and other exceptional items            
including significant legal provisions. Non-operating special items include
profits and losses on disposals of investments and businesses.                  
Remeasurements comprise other items which the Group believes should be          
reported separately to aid an understanding of the underlying performance       
of the Group.  This category includes (i) unrealised gains and losses on
`non-hedge" derivative instruments open at period end and the reversal of       
the historical marked-to-market value of instruments settled in the period,     
such that the full realised gain or loss is recorded in underlying earnings     
in the same period as the underlying transaction for which such instruments
provide an economic, but not formally designated, hedge and (ii) foreign        
exchange gains and losses arising on the retranslation of dollar                
denominated De Beers" preference shares held by a Rand functional currency      
subsidiary of the Group. Remeasurements are defined as operating, non-
operating or financing according to the nature of the underlying expense.6.

Operating special items excluding associates of $462 million (6 months          
ended 30 June 2005: $55 million; year ended 31 December 2005: $186 million)     
relate principally to impairment, restructuring and closure costs.
Following the conclusion of its strategic review, Industrial Minerals has       
identified certain non-core assets which are to be sold and other assets        
which are to be restructured and, as such, Tarmac has recorded a combined       
impairment and restructuring charge of $278 million.
On 18 May 2006 the Group announced that due to ongoing geological               
difficulties, Anglo Coal intends to implement a phased reduction of             
operations at Dartbrook. As such an impairment charge and closure costs of      
$122 million have been recognised.
Paper and Packaging have recorded an additional impairment of $72 million       
mainly of downstream converting Packaging assets as a result of continuing      
challenging market conditions.                                                  
Unrealised net losses excluding associates of $392 million on non-hedge
derivatives (6 months ended 30 June 2005: $18 million; year ended 31            
December 2005: $301 million) have been included in operating                    
remeasurements. These unrealised losses were recorded principally at            
AngloGold Ashanti, during the period it was held as a subsidiary prior to
20 April 2006.                                                                  
6. Special items and remeasurements (continued)                                 
Associates" operating special items and remeasurements include $20 million      
for the Group"s share of De Beers" payment in respect of class action
suits. Agreement has been reached, and a preliminary order issued, to           
settle the majority of civil class action suits filed against De Beers in       
the United States. This settlement does not involve any admission of            
liability on the part of De Beers and will, when concluded, bring to an end
a number of outstanding class actions. In 2005, De Beers paid $250 million      
($113 million attributable share) into escrow and an additional $45 million     
($20 million attributable share) has been paid by De Beers into escrow          
pending conclusion of the settlement process.
The Group"s share of unrealised net losses on non-hedge derivatives of          
AngloGold Ashanti incurred during the period of ownership as an associate       
totalled $73 million, partially offset by gains at De Beers.                    
Financing remeasurements
AngloGold Ashanti records the option element of its convertible bond at         
fair value with changes going through the  income statement following the       
adoption of IAS 32 and IAS 39. As a result, a charge of $43 million (6          
months ended 30 June 2005: gain of $32 million; year ended 31 December
2005: charge of $32 million) has been included in financing remeasurements,     
relating to the period it was held as a subsidiary.                             
The Group holds US dollar preference shares issued by De Beers which are        
held by a Rand functional currency subsidiary of the Group. These shares
are classified as `non-current investments" and retranslated at each period     
end. As a result, a gain of $44 million (6 months ended 30 June 2005: $91       
million; year ended 31 December 2005: $72 million) has been included in         
financing remeasurements.
Associates" financing remeasurements                                            
The Group"s share of the associates" financing remeasurements includes a        
share of the fair value movement of the option element of the convertible       
bond of AngloGold Ashanti which generated a gain of $12 million during the
period that this investment was recorded as an associate, and a share of        
the unrealised gains on non-hedge financing derivatives of $8 million in De     
Beers.                                                                          
Profits and losses on disposals
On 20 April 2006 the Group completed the sale of 19.7 million ordinary          
shares held in AngloGold Ashanti for cash of $978 million. This, together       
with the Group"s non-participation in the issue of additional ordinary          
shares by AngloGold Ashanti, diluted the Group"s percentage investment from
50.9% to 41.8%.                                                                 
As such the Group has recorded a profit on disposal of $737 million in          
respect of shares sold and a profit on the deemed disposal of $159 million,     
arising from the non-participation in the issue of ordinary shares by
AngloGold Ashanti. Further details are provided in note 15.                     
Associates" profit and losses on disposal                                       
In April, De Beers announced that agreements had been signed in respect of      
the implementation of the De Beers" BEE transaction resulting in the sale
of an indirect 26% equity interest in De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited       
to Ponahalo Holdings (Proprietary) Limited. The total agreed proceeds for       
the transaction were approximately $585 million. The Group"s share of the       
profit realised on the transaction was $105 million.
7.  Net finance costs                                                           
Finance costs and foreign exchange gains/(losses) are presented net of          
effective cash flow hedges for respective interest bearing and foreign          
currency borrowings.  Fair value gains/(losses) on derivatives, presented
below, include the mark-to-market value changes of interest rate and            
currency derivatives designated as fair value hedges, net of fair value         
changes in the associated hedged risk; and fair value changes of non-hedge      
derivatives of non-operating items, including the mark-to-market of the
conversion option within the AngloGold Ashanti convertible bond, relating       
to the period it was held as a subsidiary.

Tax charge for the period               1,202    526        1,275               
IAS 1 requires income from associates to be presented net of tax on the         
face of the income statement. The associates" tax is no longer included         
within the Group"s total tax charge. Associates" tax included within `Net
income from associates" for the 6 months ended 30 June 2006 is $166 million     
(6 months ended 30 June 2005: $185 million; year ended 31 December 2005:        
$274 million).                                                                  
The effective rate of taxation including share of associates" tax before
special items and remeasurements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2006 was        
33.9%. This was an increase from the effective rate of 26.8% in the 6           
months ended 30 June 2005. The June 2005 tax rate benefited from the one-       
off impact of a reduction in the statutory tax rates in South Africa and
Ghana. Without this benefit the effective tax rate would have been 31.7%.       
The June 2006 tax rate reflects the relative impact of the statutory tax        
rates, on a fully distributed basis where appropriate, of the countries in      
which the Group operates. In future periods it is expected that the
effective tax rate, including associates" tax, will remain above the UK         
statutory tax rate of 30%.
