SCHEDULE 2

U.S. TAXATION

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations
that may be relevant to a holder of a Note that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a
domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to United States federal income taxation on a
net income basis in respect of the Note (a "United States holder"). This summary is based on
laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change
(possibly with retroactive effect). Unless otherwise stated, this summary deals only with
United States holders who acquire the Notes as part of the initial offering of the Notes at their
issue price and who will hold Notes as capital assets. This summary does not address tax
considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks,
tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in
securities electing to mark to market, persons that will hold Notes as a position in a "straddle"
or conversion transaction, or as part of a "synthetic security" or other integrated financial
transaction, or persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar.
If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes) holds Notes, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of
the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership that acquires or
holds the Notes should consult its own tax advisers.
Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to
them of holding Notes, including the application to their particular situation of the United
States federal income tax considerations discussed below, as well as the application of U.S.
federal alternative minimum, estate and gift tax laws, U.S. state, local, foreign or other tax
laws.
Payments of Interest
Payments of interest on a Note will be taxable to a United States holder as ordinary
interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with
the United States holder's method of tax accounting). The amount of interest income realized
by a United States holder that uses the cash method of tax accounting will be the U.S. dollar
value of the Australian dollar payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of
receipt regardless of whether the payment in fact is converted into U.S. dollars. A United
States holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will accrue interest
income on the Note in Australian dollars and translate the amount accrued into U.S. dollars
based on the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period (or portion
thereof within the United States holder's taxable year), or, at the accrual basis United States
holder's election, at the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period (or the last
day of the taxable year within such accrual period if the accrual period spans more than one
taxable year), or at the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt, if such date is within five
business days of the last day of the accrual period. A United States holder that makes such
election must apply it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot change
the election without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). A United States
holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will recognize foreign
currency gain or loss, as the case may be, on the receipt of an interest payment made with
respect to a Note if the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received differs
from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. This foreign currency
33261934_5
7

gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss but generally will not be treated as an
adjustment to interest income received on the Note.
A United States holder of a Note that purchases the Note at a cost greater than its
stated principal amount will be considered to have purchased the Note at a premium, and may
elect to amortize the premium (as an offset to interest income), using a constant-yield method,
over the remaining term of the Note. Such election, once made, generally applies to all bonds
held or subsequently acquired by the United States holder on or after the first taxable year to
which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A United
States holder should calculate the amortization of the premium in Australian dollars.
Amortization deductions attributable to a period reduce interest payments in respect of that
period and therefore are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate used by the United
States holder for such interest payments. Exchange gain or loss will be realized with respect
to amortized bond premium on such a Note based on the difference between the exchange rate
on the date or dates the premium is recovered through interest payments on the Note and the
exchange rate on the date on which the United States holder acquired the Note. A United
States holder that elects to amortize the premium must reduce its tax basis in a Note by the
amount of the premium amortized during its holding period. With respect to a United States
holder that does not elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of bond premium will be
included in the United States holder's tax basis when the Note matures or is disposed of by
the United States holder. Therefore, a United States holder that does not elect to amortize
such premium and that holds the Note to maturity generally will be required to treat the
premium as capital loss when the Note matures.
Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Notes
A United States holder's tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of such Note
to such holder. The cost of such Note to a United States holder will generally be the U.S.
dollar value of the Australian dollar purchase price on the date of purchase. The conversion
of U.S. dollars to Australian dollars and the immediate use of the Australian dollars to
purchase a Note generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a United States holder.
Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note, a United States holder generally will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale,
exchange or retirement (less any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest not
previously included in income, which will be taxable as such) and the United States holder's
tax basis in such Note. The amount realized will generally be the U.S. dollar value of the
Australian dollars received calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date the Note is
disposed of or retired.
Subject to the foreign currency rules discussed below, gain or loss recognized by a
United States holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the United States
holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital
gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a reduced rate. The
deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Gain or loss recognized by a United States holder on the sale, exchange or retirement
of a Note generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss
is attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period in which the holder held such
Note. This foreign currency gain or loss will not be treated as an adjustment to interest
income received on the Notes.
33261934_5

Reportable Transactions
A United States holder that participates in a "reportable transaction" will be required
to disclose its participation to the IRS. The scope and application of these rules is not entirely
clear. A U.S. holder may be required to treat a foreign currency exchange loss relating to a
Note as a reportable transaction if the loss exceeds US$50,000 in a single taxable year if the
United States holder is an individual or trust, or higher amounts for other United States
holders. In the event the acquisition, ownership or disposition of a Note constitutes
participation in a "reportable transaction" for purposes of these rules, a United States holder
will be required to disclose its investment to the IRS, currently on Form 8886. Prospective
purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to the
acquisition, ownership or disposition of Notes.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets
Individual United States holders that own "specified foreign financial assets" with an
aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 are generally required to file an information
statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets.
"Specified foreign financial assets" include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial
institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts
maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals
living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting
requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect
interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. United States
holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties.
In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or
part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application
of these rules to their investment in the Notes, including the application of the rules to their
particular circumstances.
Non-United States Holders
The IRS has ruled to the effect that interest paid to a non-resident alien individual or to
a foreign corporation on securities issued by ADB is not subject to United States federal
income tax, including withholding tax, except that, absent any special statutory or treaty
exemption, (i) such interest, when derived by such non-resident alien individual or foreign
corporation in the active conduct of a banking, financing or similar business within the United
States or when received by a corporation the principal business of which is trading in stock or
securities for its own account, is subject to United States federal income tax if such interest is
attributable to an office or fixed place of business of such person within the United States and
certain other conditions exist, and (ii) a foreign corporation which is an insurance company
carrying on a United States insurance business is subject to United States federal income tax
on interest on securities of ADB if such interest is attributable to its United States business.
The IRS also has ruled to the effect that (i) interest paid by ADB on its obligations
constitutes income from sources without the United States and (ii) unless a death tax
convention provides otherwise, debt obligations of ADB for purposes of the United States
federal estate tax are deemed to be situated outside the United States and are not includible in
the gross estate of a non-resident of the United States who was not a citizen of the United
States. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation amended the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, under which the previous rulings were issued. ADB has been advised
33261934_5
9

by its United States tax counsel that these amendments will not affect the IRS rulings
described above.
The gain realized on any sale or exchange of the Notes by a holder that is not a United
States holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax, including withholding
tax, unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the holder of a trade or
business in the United States or (ii) in the case of gain realized by an individual holder, the
holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and
certain other conditions are met.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
The United States imposes reporting requirements, and in limited circumstances,
backup withholding requirements, with respect to certain payments of principal and interest
on debt obligations. Regulations issued by the IRS confirm that such reporting requirements
do not apply to payments on the Notes made by ADB. Brokers, trustees, custodians and
certain other middlemen will be subject to the reporting and backup withholding requirements
with respect to payments received by them on, or proceeds realized on the disposition of,
Notes held by certain United States holders. Foreign persons receiving payments on the
Notes or disposing of Notes may be required to establish their status as such in order to avoid
the filing of information returns by such middlemen, or the backup withholding of tax by such
middlemen, in respect of such payments.
