Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting ("US GAAP") for the preparation of interim financial information.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets Contingent Asset An asset in which the possibility of ownership depends solely upon future events uncontrollable by the company. Notes: An example might be a settlement from a lawsuit. See also: Asset, Balance Sheet, Contingent Liability, Liability and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On December 14, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick merged with Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake"). The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements give retroactive Having reference to things that happened in the past, prior to the occurrence of the act in question. A retroactive or retrospective law is one that takes away or impairs vested rights acquired under existing laws, creates new obligations, imposes new duties, or attaches a effect to the merger, with all periods presented as if Barrick and Homestake had always been combined. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the presentation of Barrick and Homestake. 2 ACCOUNTING CHANGES A Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible Asset An asset that is not physical in nature. Notes: Examples are things like copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and goodwill. These are the opposite of tangible assets. We adopted FASB Statement FASB Statement A standard set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board regarding a financial accounting and reporting method. Essentially, FASB statements determine the acceptable accounting practices that Certified Public Accountants use in reporting No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS Special Forces Assessment and Selection SFAS Student Financial Aid Services SFAS Sport Fishing Association of Singapore SFAS Safety Features Actuation System SFAS Statewide Fixed Assets System 142), effective January January: see month. 1, 2002. Since we had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the date of adoption, the implementation of this accounting change had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. B Accounting for the Impairment Impairment 1. A reduction in a company's stated capital. 2. The total capital that is less than the par value of the company's capital stock. Notes: 1. This is usually reduced because of poorly estimated losses or gains. 2. or Disposal of Long-lived long-lived adj. 1. Having a long life: a long-lived aunt. 2. Lasting a long time; persistent: a long-lived rumor. 3. Assets We adopted FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144), effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new statement had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. 3 CAPITAL STOCK A Net income per share Net income per share was calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 which amounted to 540 million shares (2001 - 536 million shares).

FASB Statement No. 123 ( SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require, companies to include in compensation cost the fair value of stock options granted to employees. A Company that does not adopt the fair-value method must disclose the cost of stock compensation awards, at their fair value on the date the award is granted. The fair value of common share purchase options granted in the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 was $2 million, estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: a 6-year expected term, 30% volatility Volatility 1. A statistical measure of the tendency of a market or security to rise or fall sharply within a period of time. 2.

Gold in process and ore ore, metal-bearing mineral mass that can be profitably mined. Nearly all rock deposits contain some metallic minerals, but in many cases the concentration of metal is too low to justify mining the ore. in stockpiles excludes $60 million (December 31, 2001 - $46 million) of stockpiled ore which is not expected to be processed in the following 12 months. This amount is included in other assets other assets Assets of relatively small value. For financial reporting purposes, firms frequently combine small assets into a single category rather than listing each item separately. . 5 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Derivative instruments Contracts such as options and futures whose price is derived from the price of an underlying financial asset. A Derivative instruments We utilize over-the-counter ("OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). ") contracts as the primary basis for entering into derivative derivative: see calculus. derivative In mathematics, a fundamental concept of differential calculus representing the instantaneous rate of change of a function. transactions. These privately negotiated agreements, compared to exchange traded contracts, allow us to incorporate favourable credit, tenor and flexible terms into the contracts. The underlyings in the contracts include commodities, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and bond indices with diversified diversified (di·verˑ·s credit exposure. We do not enter into derivative instruments which we would consider to be leveraged. For a full description of our objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments; the nature and principal terms of the derivative instruments we use; the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of derivative instruments; and the nature of credit and market risks associated with the derivative instruments we use, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2001.

In addition to the above, we have off-take contracts which allow (but do not commit) Barrick to sell 1.8 million ounces of gold spread over 10 years, at the then prevailing spot price. The Company has previously announced that it anticipates a reduction in its forward gold sales position to approximately ap·prox·i·mate adj. 1. Almost exact or correct: the approximate time of the accident. 2. 12 million ounces by the end of 2003, based on current market conditions.

(i) Normal sales contracts Sales Contract Contract between a seller and buyer for the sale of goods, services, or both. We have determined and documented that our physically settled Spot Deferred Sales Contracts and Variable Price Sales Contracts meet the normal sales exception included in paragraph 10(b) of SFAS 133. Accordingly, these contracts are not accounted for as derivatives derivatives In finance, contracts whose value is derived from another asset, which can include stocks, bonds, currencies, interest rates, commodities, and related indexes. Purchasers of derivatives are essentially wagering on the future performance of that asset. pursuant to SFAS 133, and are not marked-to-market Marked-to-market An arrangement whereby the profits or losses on a futures contract are settled each day. through earnings.

Vide Consummation; Progression. , but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Spot Deferred Sales Contracts during this 15-year period from inception. At the time a delivery date is rescheduled, the contract price is adjusted based on the difference between the prevailing forward gold market price and the original contract price. The average price of the spot deferred sales contracts reflects established and expected future price assumptions. Prices are fixed on 100% of the contracts through 2005. Beyond 2005, the expected prices incorporate an average lease rate assumption of 1.75%. Variations between the lease rate assumption and the actual lease rates will impact the final realized selling prices. Lease rate exposure is managed and accounted for separately from our normal gold sales contracts, and the economic impact flows through our earnings each quarter as part of "non-hedge derivative gains (losses)"(refer to note 5D). The outstanding lease rate swaps at September 30, 2002, that we utilize to manage our lease rate exposure were as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Maturity 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007+ Total --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold lease rate swaps Receive fixed, pay floating Notional (thousands of ounces) - 150 400 595 1,016 3,155 5,316 Fixed rate (%) - 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.6% 4.1% 3.5% Variable Price Sales Contracts Variable Price Sales Contracts are contracts whereby we will deliver a specified spec·i·fy tr.v. spec·i·fied, spec·i·fy·ing, spec·i·fies 1.

The contracts have a final delivery date of up to 15 years from inception, but we have the right at our sole discretion to set a delivery date for any Variable Price Sales Contract during this 15-year period from inception. All of the Variable Price Sales Contracts have expected delivery dates in 2005 and beyond. The contract price equals the gold spot price subject to a specified maximum ("cap") based on market conditions in the years indicated in the table above, plus a fixed premium payable to Barrick. The contract price will be adjusted in the same manner as price adjustments to spot deferred contracts for the period from these dates to the expected delivery date in 2005 and beyond. Certain of these contracts also have a specified minimum ("floor") price.
