Independent Review Report by KPMG Audit Plc to AstraZeneca PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information for
the six month period ended 30 June 2002 set out on pages 9 and 11 to 15 and we
have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with
the financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent
with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where they
are to be changed in the next annual accounts, in which case any changes, and
the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4
(Review of Interim Financial Information) issued by the Auditing Practices
Board. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management
and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying
financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and
presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with
Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an
audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial
information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 June 2002.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2002 have
been prepared in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting principles.
The accounting policies applied are those set out in AstraZeneca PLC's 2001
Annual Report and Form 20-F except that, in the current period, AstraZeneca
adopted Financial Reporting Standard No. 19 'Deferred Tax'. Prior periods have
been restated and the effects of this restatement were to reduce profits for the
six months ended 30 June 2001 by $19m and reduce net assets at that date by
$126m. On adoption net assets at 1 January 2002 were reduced by $193m. The
table below illustrates the effect on EPS before exceptional items of this
restatement.
The financial statements are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditors
and their report is set out above. The statements do not constitute statutory
accounts of the group within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act
1985. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2001 have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was
unqualified and did not contain any statement under Section 237 of the Companies
Act 1985.

amounted to $173m and $163m for the comparative period. Share of joint
ventures' operating profits for the half year to 30 June 2002, and for the
comparative period were $nil.

5 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Further to note 36 to the Financial Statements found on page 94 in the
AstraZeneca 2001 Annual Report and Form 20-F wherein reference is made to
various investigations into drug marketing and pricing practices in the US, the
US Department of Justice has been conducting an investigation into the sales and
marketing of Zoladex (goserelin acetate implant). The Company has been informed
that the investigation was prompted by the filing of a qui tam complaint by a
private party and involves allegations of improper submission of claims to the
Medicare program. The Company is cooperating with the investigation, which is
ongoing. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation,
management is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition should not have a
material adverse effect on AstraZeneca's financial position or results.

Information for US Investors
RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The profit and loss accounts and balance sheet set out on pages 9 to 11 are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United Kingdom (UK GAAP) which differ in certain material respects from those
generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). The differences as they
apply to AstraZeneca PLC are explained in the 2001 Annual Report and Form 20-F,
except that, with effect from 1 January 2002, goodwill amortisation has been
prohibited. The effect has been to increase income for the six months under US
GAAP by approximately $383m. The adoption of FRS19 under UK GAAP has not
affected income or shareholders' equity under US GAAP although it has had a
consequential impact on the relevant UK to US GAAP adjustment. Software and
application costs of $13m arising on two infrastructure projects have been
capitalised under UK GAAP in the first half of the year. The approximate
effects on income and shareholders' equity of the GAAP differences are shown
below.
