EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A is being filed solely to amend Item 15 of the Annual Report on Form 20-F of Amcor Limited (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which was filed on December 23, 2004. In connection with this Amendment No. 1, the Company is including the certifications required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

This Amendment is not intended to revise other information presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as originally filed, which remains unchanged.

This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 20-F and does not modify or update the disclosure therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment discussed above. As a result, this Amendment continues to speak as of June 30, 2004.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have received information that leads us to believe that certain officers and employees of the Company appear to have entered into, and given effect to, arrangements which constituted possible cartel conduct in its corrugated box business in Australia and New Zealand. See Item 8, “Financial Information – Legal Proceedings”, for further information relating to this matter. We informed the ACCC and the NZCC of these matters and we are cooperating with the investigations they have initiated. We are continuing to investigate these matters and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as at June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, they have concluded that, as at June 30, 2004, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure and internal controls, including the possibilities of faulty judgments or mistakes by management, fraud, or the intentional circumvention of controls by individual acts or the collusion of two or more people. Accordingly, even an effective disclosure and internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to disclosures and financial statement preparation. See Item 8 “Anti-Trust Investigations and Related Management Changes – Board Announcements”.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
