As Warrant-Issuer, Macquarie Bank Limited provides the following
information in relation to the period ending 31 October 2000.

These warrants have been adjusted due to a Scheme of Arrangement by
BHP under which they floated the long steel products division, after
receiving shareholder and court approval.

On 31 August 2000 BHP announced its intention to float its steel long
products business via a Capital Reduction and Scheme of Arrangement.

Under the terms of the Capital Reduction the share capital of each
fully paid BHP share was reduced by $0.66. Under the Scheme of
Arrangement, the proceeds of the Capital Reduction were compulsorily
applied to the transfer of OneSteel Limited ("OneSteel") shares to
holders of fully paid BHP shares in the ratio of one OneSteel share
for every four fully paid BHP shares held.

The scheme received shareholder approval on 17 October 2000 and court
approval on 18 October 2000.

Clause 4.1 of the Terms of Issue of the Endowment Warrants state that
the cash return of capital proposed by BHP under the scheme is to be
treated as a Reduction Amount.

The value of the Reduction Amount that has been applied to the
Outstanding Amount of the Portfolio Endowment Warrants is one quarter
of the value of the OneSteel shares multiplied by the number of BHP
shares in the Portfolio. The value of the OneSteel shares is defined
as their weighted average price, in accordance with clause 4.2(a)
terms of the Offering Circular.

The Reduction Amount applied to the Outstanding Amount is shown in
the table below.

The number of BHP shares in the underlying parcel for this Endowment
Warrant is unaffected by this scheme.

For the period from 1 October 2000 to 31 October 2000, the following
Reduction Amounts were paid in respect of the shares in the
Portfolio.
