| (1) | Total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce are non-GAAP measures. Previously, we calculated cash costs per ounce by dividing total cash costs, as determined using the guidance previously provided by the Gold Institute, by gold ounces sold. During fiscal 2009, we changed the calculation, using gold produced as the denominator and therefore excluded the effect of the movement in the gold inventory from the cash cost amount. We believe that this change provides a better indication of the cash generating capabilities of our operations and also allows for a better comparison with other companies. The cash costs and cash cost per ounce have been re-presented for all periods prior to fiscal 2009. The Gold Institute was a non-profit industry association comprised of leading gold producers, refiners, bullion suppliers and manufacturers. This institute has now been incorporated into the National Mining Association. The guidance was first issued in 1996 and was revised in November 1999. Total cash costs, as defined in the guidance previously provided by the Gold Institute, include mine production costs, transport and refinery costs, applicable general and administrative costs, ongoing environmental rehabilitation costs as well as transfers to and from deferred stripping and costs associated with royalties. Ongoing employee termination costs are included, however, employee termination costs associated with major restructuring and shaft closures are excluded. Total cash costs have been calculated on a consistent basis for all periods presented. Changes in cash costs per ounce are affected by operational performance, as well as changes in the currency exchange rate between the Rand and the U.S. dollar. Because total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce are non-GAAP measures, they should therefore not be considered by investors in isolation or as an alternative to production costs, cost of sales, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. While the Gold Institute has provided a definition for the calculation of total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce, the calculation of cash costs per ounce may vary from company to company and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, we believe that cash costs per ounce is a useful indicator to investors and management of a mining companys performance as it provides (1) an indication of the cash generating capacities of the mining operations, (2) the trends in cash costs as the companys operations mature, (3) a measure of a companys performance, by comparison of cash costs per ounce to the spot price of gold and (4) an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other companies. For further information, see Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects Costs Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures. |

| | growth in production ounces, by delivering into production the South African growth projects and by fully exploiting growth opportunities in PNG. An important element of this growth objective is the pursuit of geographic diversity; | ||
| | exploring and expanding into new geographic regions, developing mines, acquiring low-cost assets and entering into joint ventures; | ||
| | increasing levels of operational efficiency and productivity, to which end capital projects are being commissioned and achievable operational plans have been compiled; and | ||
| | optimizing our asset portfolio, so as to yield lower-cost, more profitable, high-margin ounces. To this end our portfolio was reviewed and restructured. |
21
| | We believe that our size and leading market position enables us to undertake exploration and simultaneously develop multiple projects around the world, as well as secure capital on competitive terms. | ||
| | The global gold industry offers a number of attractive industry fundamentals from which we benefit. This includes the absence of available substitutes, relatively high barriers to entry, and increasing gold producer concentration. | ||
| | We are developing new mines at a planned lower cost per ounce than our current operations, which we believe will help make them robust enough to survive any margin squeeze and to withstand any reversal in the gold price. We expect the gold price to continue its upward trend in the medium term. |
| | Our mineral reserves as of June 30, 2010 amounted to 48.1 million ounces of gold spread across our assets in South Africa and PNG. This mineral reserve base is sufficient to support our existing production profile in excess of 10 years at current production levels. There has been a 0.1 million ounces year-on-year negative variance in mineral reserves due to normal depletion of 1.7 million ounces. Mine closures, the exclusion of projects previously included in reserves (Evander South), geology and scope changes resulted in a decrease of 2.6 million ounces. On the positive side, there is a net addition of 4.3 million ounces of mineral reserves from new acquisitions, Rand Uranium (attributable interest of 40%), surface projects and other positive adjustments from the operations. |
22
| | Of our 48.1 million ounces of reserves, 38.2 million ounces are classified as above infrastructure and 9.9 million ounces re classified as below infrastructure (reserves for which capital expenditure has still to be approved). |
| | We have a diverse portfolio of gold development projects spread across South Africa and PNG. These projects include Kusasalethu, Doornkop, Tshepong and Phakisa in South Africa, and Hidden Valley in PNG, which, when developed, could deliver up to 1.1 million ounces of production by 2013. | ||
| | We believe the relatively higher grade of these South African deposits and/or lower cost base will result in these ounces being produced at highly competitive cash costs. This in turn may result in a reduction in our overall cash cost position as these new projects are commissioned. | ||
| | In addition to these projects, we have a number of additional development prospects that are being considered and progressed, including the processing of sand dumps and tailings dams in our tailings projects, the processing of rock dumps, and developing the Wafi-Golpu copper/gold deposit in PNG, which, when all developed, could increase production. | ||
| | We have also expanded our exploration skill base, evidenced by our progress in PNG. | ||
| | We formed Rand Uranium, to which we have transferred our Cooke assets to optimize the value of our uranium deposits. |
| | In the midst of volatile tumultuous global investment markets, the gold market has demonstrated great resilience and a positive upside. The price performance throughout fiscal 2010 supports our positive outlook for gold and, given our operational imperatives, we will seek to contain costs, increase output and optimize our margins. | ||
| | The gold price hit a high of US$1,261 per ounce on June 28, 2010 and, subsequent to year-end, an all-time high of US$1,373.25 on October 14, 2010. On October 18, 2010, it was US$1,367.25 per ounce, which is 30% higher than it was for the same time the previous year. | ||
| | We believe the fundamental drivers behind increased demand and decreased new supply of gold will remain in the future, which will in turn support a higher gold price over this period. As an unhedged gold producer, we will benefit from a rising gold price environment. |
| | Our aim remains to improve profitability. At an operational level we have put in place an intensive process of business planning, with benchmarks and targets we believe to be realistic. | ||
| | We are committed to lower our cost base and extensively benchmark our costing parameters both internally among our operations, and externally against other gold producers. Stringent cost cutting and cost control programs have been implemented. | ||
| | We are confident that the benefits of our restructuring process and ongoing cost focus will be sustained in the long term, and as a result, our ability to withstand any future adverse market conditions has been significantly enhanced. |
| | We maintain a conservative gearing policy and seek to fund ongoing capital expenditure (excluding growth projects) through cash generated from existing operations. | ||
| | Our low level of gearing should provide us with the ability to utilize debt to fund capital and development expenditure requirements for our new projects. |
23
| | Our senior management team consists of experienced mining executives with extensive industry backgrounds combined with geological and metallurgical expertise. | ||
| | Our senior management team has a proven track record in developing and managing the operations under its control, and has demonstrated an ability to optimize underperforming assets as well as developing new projects around the world. |
| | We are proud to be a South African company that fully embraces the countrys transformation initiatives. We are approximately 14.6% owned by African Rainbow Minerals Limited ( ARM Limited ), a black empowerment company in which our chairman, Patrice Motsepe, owns an interest. Of our total production profile, 36% of our South African ounces are attributed empowerment ounces. | ||
| | We believe that we have gone beyond the requirements of the Mining Charter by ensuring that our HDSA partners are truly empowered, that we are largely managed by a HDSA Board, and that we continue to engage with black shareholders and/or partners to find more opportunities to invest in BEE transactions and involve HDSA partners. | ||
| | We will continue to embrace empowerment as part of our growth strategy and we acknowledge that empowerment forms a fundamental part of our business into the future. |

| | on-mine exploration, which looks for resources within the economic radius of existing mines, and | ||
| | new mine exploration, which is the global search for early to advanced stage projects. |
| | Accessing the orebody. | ||
| In our South African underground mines, access to the orebody is by means of shafts sunk from the surface to the lowest economically and practically mineable level. Horizontal development at various intervals of a shaft (known as levels) extends access to the horizon of the reef to be mined. On-reef development then provides specific mining access. Horizontal development at various intervals of the decline extends access to the horizon of the mineral to be mined. The declines are advanced on a continuous basis to keep ahead of the mining taking place on the levels above. In our open-pit mines, access to the orebody is provided by overburden stripping, which removes the covering layers of topsoil or rock, through a combination of drilling, blasting, loading and hauling, as required. | |||
| | Mining the orebody. | ||
| The process of ore removal starts with drilling and blasting the accessible ore. The blasted faces are then cleaned, and the ore is transferred to the transport system. In open-pit mines, gold-bearing material may require drilling and blasting, and is usually collected by bulldozers or shovels to transfer it onto trucks, which transport it to the mill. |
| | Comminution. | ||
| Comminution is the process of breaking up the ore to expose and liberate the gold and make it available for treatment. Conventionally, this process occurs in multi-stage crushing and milling circuits, which include the use of jaw and gyratory crushers and rod and tube and ball mills. Our more modern milling circuits include semi- or fully-autogenous milling where the ore itself is used as the |
26
| grinding medium. Typically, ore must be ground to a minimum size before proceeding to the next stage of treatment. | |||
| | Treatment. | ||
| In most of our metallurgical plants, gold is extracted into a leach solution from the host ore by leaching in agitated tanks. Gold is then extracted onto activated carbon from the solution using the CIL or CIP processes. Gold in solution at one of our plants is recovered using zinc precipitation. Recovery of the gold from the loaded carbon takes place by elution and electro-winning. Cathode sludge or dore bars produced from electro- winning is now currently sent directly to the Rand Refinery. Most of the South African plants no longer use smelting to produce rough gold bars (dore). Our South African zinc precipitation plants continue to smelt precipitate to produce rough gold bars. These bars are then transported to the Rand Refinery, which is responsible for refining the bars to a minimum of good delivery status. |

| 1 | General information |
| Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ( the Company ) and its subsidiaries (collectively Harmony or the group ) are engaged in gold mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction and processing. Gold bullion, the groups principal product, is currently produced at its operations in South Africa and Papua New Guinea, where the construction of the Hidden Valley Mine is substantially complete. Hidden Valley Mine reached commercial levels of production during May 2010. | ||
| The Company is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in South Africa. The address of its registered office is Randfontein Office Park, Corner Main Reef Road and Ward Avenue, Randfontein, 1759. | ||
| The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors on October 11, 2010 |
| 2 | Accounting policies | |
| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied in all years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation | ||
| The financial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IFRS ), IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies Act of South Africa applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. | |||
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the groups accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3. | |||
| New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards adopted by the group: |
| * | The following amendment to a standard has become effective and the effect has been disclosed by the group: |
| IFRS 7 (Amendment) Financial Instruments disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2009). | |||
| The amendment increases the disclosure requirements about fair value measurement and reinforces existing principles for disclosure about liquidity risk. The amendment introduces a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosure and requires some specific quantitative disclosures for financial instruments in the lowest level in the hierarchy. In addition, the amendment clarifies and enhances existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk primarily requiring a separate liquidity risk analysis for derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities. The effect of the amendment has been disclosed in note 4, Financial Risk Management. |
| * | The following standards or amendments to standards have become effective but was not relevant to the group: |
| IFRS 1 and IAS 27 (Amendment) IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements: Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate. | |||
| IAS 39 (Amendment) IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Exposures Qualifying for Hedge Accounting. | |||
| IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. |
| * | The following standards or amendments to standards have become effective but had no impact on the results of the group: |
| IFRS 2 (Amendment) Share-Based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2009). | |||
| The amendment deals with two matters. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share-based payment are not vesting conditions. It also specifies that all cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. | |||
| IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations (effective from periods beginning July 1, 2009). | |||
| The new standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent payments subsequently re-measured at fair value through income. Goodwill may be calculated based on the parents share of net assets or it may include goodwill related to the minority interest. All transaction costs will be expensed. |
F-8
| IAS 18 (Amendment) Revenue (no effective date, amendment is made to the appendix which is not part of the standard, effective on date of publication) | |||
| The amendment is part of the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) annual improvements project published in April 2009. An additional paragraph has been added to the appendix to IAS 18, providing guidance on whether an entity is acting as principal or agent. | |||
| IAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and separate financial statements (effective from periods beginning July 1, 2009) | |||
| The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control. They will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. A corresponding amendment to IAS 21 was made as a result of IAS 27 (Revised) that clarifies that upon partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the group is required to re-attribute the proportionate share of the cumulative exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation (i.e. the transaction is recognized in equity). Only upon loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation is the cumulative amount of exchange differences relating to that foreign operation reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. | |||
| IAS 32 and IAS 1 (Amendment) IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements: Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2009). | |||
| The amendments require entities to classify the following types of financial instruments as equity, provided they have particular features and meet specific conditions: a) puttable financial instruments (for example, some shares issued by co-operative entities); b) instruments, or components of instruments, that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation (for example, some partnership interests and some shares issued by limited life entities). Additional disclosures are required about the instruments affected by the amendments. | |||
| IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 Embedded Derivatives (effective from periods beginning 1 July 2009) | |||
| The amendment results in a mandatory assessment of an embedded derivative following reclassification of a financial assets out of the fair value through profit or loss category. The assessment will not have taken place at initial recognition, as the entire asset was accounted for at fair value. The amendment is necessary to ensure that, following a reclassification from the fair value category, entities apply the requirements for the separation of an embedded derivative that is not closely related to the host contract. The assessment should be made on the basis of the circumstances that existed when the entity first became a party to the contract. In addition, if the fair value of the embedded derivative that would have to be separated cannot be reliably measured, the hybrid financial asset in its entirety should remain in the fair value through profit or loss category. | |||
| IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective from periods beginning October 1, 2008) | |||
| IFRIC 16 provides guidance on identifying the foreign currency risks that qualify as a hedged risk (in the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation). It secondly provides guidance on where, within a group, hedging instruments that are hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation can be held to qualify for hedge accounting. Thirdly, it provides guidance on how an entity should determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for both the hedging instrument and the hedged item. | |||
| IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective from periods beginning July 1, 2009) | |||
| IFRIC 17 applies to the accounting for distributions of non-cash assets (commonly referred to as dividends in specie) to the owners of the entity. The interpretation clarifies that: a dividend payable should be recognized when the dividend is appropriately authorized and is no longer at the discretion of the entity; an entity should measure the dividend payable at the fair value of the net assets to be distributed; and an entity should recognize the difference between the dividend paid and the carrying amount of the net assets distributed in profit or loss. | |||
| IFRIC 18 Transfers of assets from customers (effective from periods beginning July 1, 2009) | |||
| The interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment for transfers of property, plant and equipment received from customers. This Interpretation applies to agreements with customers in which the entity receives cash from a customer when that amount of cash must be used only to construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment and the entity must then use the item of property, plant and equipment either to connect the customer to a network or to provide the customer with on-going access to a supply of goods and services, or to do both. | |||
| Improvements projects | |||
| These amendments are the result of conclusions the Board reached on proposals made in its annual improvement project. Unless otherwise specified, the amendments are effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009, although entities are permitted to adopt them earlier. The group does not expect the new or revised statements and revised interpretations to have a significant effect on the financial statements. |

| At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the standards, amendments to standards and interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. These new standards and interpretations have not been early adopted by the group and a reliable estimate of the impact of the adoption thereof for the group cannot yet be determined for all of them, as management is still in the process of determining the impact of these standards and interpretations on future financial statements. The group plans on adopting these standards, amendments to standards and interpretations on the dates when they become effective. | |||
| IFRS 1 (Amendment): First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment addresses the retrospective application of IFRSs to particular situations including: the use of deemed cost for oil and gas assets; determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease; and decommissioning liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment and is aimed at ensuring that the entities applying IFRSs will not face undue cost or effort in the transition process. This amendment will not have an impact on the group. | |||
| IFRS 1 (Amendment): First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards Limited Exemptions from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters (effective for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010) | |||
| The additional amendment relieves first-time adopters of IFRSs from presenting comparative information for new three level classification disclosures required by the March 2009 amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. It thereby ensure that first-time adopters benefit from the same transition provisions that amendments to IFRS 7 provides to current IFRS preparers. This amendment will not have an impact on the group. | |||
| IFRS 2 (Amendment) Group cash-settled and share-based payment transactions (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment provide a clear basis to determine the classification of share based payments in consolidated and separate financial statements. In addition to incorporating IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2, and IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 group and treasury share transactions, the amendment also expand on the guidance in IFRIC 11 to address group arrangements that were not considered by that interpretation. The group does not have a cash settled share based payments scheme. | |||
| IFRS 5 (Amendment) Measurement of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides clarification on disclosures required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. It also clarifies that the general requirement of IAS 1 still apply, particularly paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair presentation) and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty). The group is still in process of determining the effect of this amendment on the financial statements. | |||
| IFRS 9 Financial instruments (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2013) | |||
| IFRS 9 simplifies accounting for financial assets as requested by many constituents and stakeholders. In particular, it replaces multiple measurement categories in IAS 39 with a single principle-based approach to classification. IFRS 9 removes complex rule-driven embedded derivative guidance in IAS 39 and requires financial assets to be classified in their entirety. IFRS 9 eliminates the need for multiple impairment models, such that only one impairment model for financial assets carried at amortized cost will be required. The group is still in the process of determining the effect of this standard on the financial statements. | |||
| IAS 1 (Amendment) Presentation of financial statements (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment provides clarification that the potential settlement of a liability by the issue of equity is not relevant to its classification as current or non current. By amending the definition of current liability, the amendment permits a liability to be classified as non-current (provided that the entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement by transfer of cash or other assets for at least 12 months after the accounting period) notwithstanding the fact that the entity could be required by the counterparty to settle in shares at any time. | |||
| IAS 7 (Amendment) Statement of cash flows (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment clarifies that only expenditure that results in a recognized asset in the statement of financial position can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities. The group currently does not expect the amendment to impact the financial statements. |
F-10
| IAS 17 (Amendment) Leases (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment deletes relevant guidance regarding classification of leases of land, so as to eliminate inconsistency with the general guidance on lease classification. As a result, leases of land should be classified as either finance or operating, using the general principles of IAS 17. | |||
| IAS 24 (Revised) Related-party disclosures (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2011) | |||
| The revised standard removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. It also clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. | |||
| IAS 32 (Amendment) Classification of rights issues (effective from periods beginning February 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment recognizes that the previous requirement to classify foreign-currency denominated rights issued to all existing shareholders on a pro rata basis as derivative liabilities is not consistent with the substance of the transaction, which represents a transaction with owners acting in their capacity as such. The amendment therefore creates an exception to the fixed for fixed rule in IAS 32 and requires rights issues within the scope of the amendment to be classified as equity. | |||
| IAS 36 (Amendment) Impairment of Assets (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment clarifies that the largest cash generating unit (or group of units) to which goodwill should be allocated for the purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment as defined by paragraph 5 of IFRS 8 Operating segments, that is; before the aggregation of segments with similar economic characteristics permitted by paragraph 12 of IFRS 8. | |||
| IAS 38 (Amendment) Intangible assets (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| The amendment is part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment clarifies the description of valuation techniques commonly used by entities when measuring the fair value of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, where there is no active market. The effect of the amendment will be recorded in future periods when such transactions are entered into. | |||
| IAS 39 (Amendment) Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement (effective from periods beginning January 1, 2010) | |||
| There were 3 amendments made to IAS 39 as part of the IASBs annual improvements project published in April 2009. |
| (i) | The scope exemption within IAS 39.2(g) was amended to clarify that it only applies to forward contracts that will result in a business combination at a future date, as long as the term of the forward contract does not exceed a reasonable period normally necessary to obtain any required approvals and to complete the transaction. | ||
| (ii) | Clarification that amounts deferred in equity are only reclassified to profit or loss when the underlying hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. | ||
| (iii) | An additional example of a closely related embedded prepayment option in a debt instrument was added to the adoption guidance in IAS 39 AG 30. Wording with respect to the assessment of put and call features in convertible instruments was clarified. |
| IFRIC 14 (Amendment): The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction Prepayment of Minimum Funding Requirements (effective for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011). | |||
| This amendment applies in the limited circumstances when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendment permits such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. The group does not believe the amendment will have an impact on the group. | |||
| IFRIC 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments (effective from periods beginning July 1, 2010) | |||
| This interpretation addresses the accounting by an entity when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. It does not address the accounting by the creditor, nor does it apply to situations where the liability may be extinguished with equity instruments in accordance with the agreed terms of the instrument (for example, convertible bonds). The group currently does not expect this interpretation to have a material effect on the financial statements. | |||
| Improvements projects | |||
| Certain improvements to IFRS 2009 (periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010) and IFRS 2010 (each has its own effective date, the earliest being periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010). |
F-11
| 2.2 | Consolidation | ||
| The consolidated financial information includes the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, its proportionate interest in joint ventures, special purpose entities ( SPEs ) and its interests in associates. |
| (i) | Subsidiaries, which are those entities in which the group generally has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies, are consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and are no longer consolidated when control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests are carried at a proportion of the net identifiable assets acquired. | ||
| The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the groups share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. | |||
| In situations of successive share purchases when control already existed at the date of further acquisition, no fair value adjustment is made to the identifiable net assets acquired and any excess/deficit purchase price over the carrying value of non-controlling interests acquired is accounted for in equity. | |||
| Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated and may provide evidence of an impairment that should be recognized. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. | |||
| (ii) | Associates are those entities over in which the group has significant influence, but not control over operational and financial policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. | ||
| Investments in associates are accounted for by using the equity method of accounting, and are initially recognized at cost. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. | |||
| The groups share of the associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movement in reserves is recognized in other reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the groups shares of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. | |||
| The groups investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. | |||
| The carrying value of an associate is reviewed on a regular basis and, if an impairment in the carrying value has occurred, it is written off in the period in which such impairment is identified. | |||
| Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the groups interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provide evidence of an impairment that should be recognized. | |||
| Accounting policies of associates have been reviewed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. | |||
| (iii) | Joint venture entities are those entities in which the group holds an interest and shares joint control over strategic, financial and operating decisions with one or more other ventures under a contractual arrangement. The groups interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for by proportionate consolidation. Under this method, the group includes its share of the joint ventures individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows on a line-by-line basis with similar items in the groups financial statements. | ||
| The group recognizes the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other ventures. The group does not recognize its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of assets by the group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognized immediately. |
F-12
| Joint ventures operations and assets: The group and company has contractual arrangements with other participants to engage in joint activities or invest in joint assets other than through a separate entity. The group and company includes its assets, liabilities and share of income and expenditure in such joint venture operations with similar items in its financial statements. | |||
| (iv) | Special purpose entities (SPEs) are those undertakings that are created to satisfy specific business needs of the group, These are consolidated where the group has the right to the majority of the benefits of the SPE and/or is exposed to the majority of the risk thereof. SPEs are consolidated in the same manner as subsidiaries when the substance of the relationship indicates that the SPE is controlled by the group. | ||
| (v) | Transactions with non-controlling interests. The group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. |
| 2.3 | Foreign currency translation |
| (i) | Functional and presentation currency : Items included in the financial statements of each of the groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in South African Rand and US dollars for the benefit of local and international users. The Companys financial statements are presented in its functional currency, being South African Rand. | ||
| For translation of the Rand financial statement items to US dollar, the average of R7.58 (2009 :R9.00) (2008: R7.26) per US$1 was used for income statement items (unless this average was not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case these items were translated at the rate on the date of the transactions) and the closing rate of R7.63 (2009: R7.72) per US$1 for asset and liability items. Equity items were translated at historic rates. | |||
| References to A$ refers to Australian currency, R to South African currency, $ or US$ to United States currency and K or Kina to Papua New Guinean currency. | |||
| (ii) | Transactions and balances: Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation to year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying investment hedges. Gains and losses recognized in the income statement are included in the determination of other expenses net. | ||
| Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency classified as available for sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security, and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to the changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income. | |||
| Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available for sale are included in other comprehensive income. | |||
| (iii) | Group companies: The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: |
| a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; | |||
| b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the date of the transactions); | |||
| c) all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income; | |||
| d) equity items are translated at historic rates. |
F-13
| On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or control is otherwise lost, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is sold or control is otherwise lost. | |||
| Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. |
| 2.4 | Segmental reporting | ||
| Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the executive committee. Refer to note 38 for detailed guidance on the identification of an operating and reportable segment. | |||
| 2.5 | Property, plant and equipment |
| (i) | Mining assets including mine development costs and mine plant facilities are initially recorded at cost, where after it is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Costs includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate assets as appropriate only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. | ||
| At the groups surface mines, when it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proved and probable reserves, costs incurred to develop the property are capitalized as incurred until the mine is considered to have moved into the production phase. These costs include costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase to remove waste ore are deferred and charged to production costs on the basis of the average life-of-mine stripping ratio. The average stripping ratio is calculated as the number of tonnes of waste material removed per tonne of ore mined. The average life-of-mine ratio is revised annually in the light of additional knowledge and change in estimates. The cost of excess stripping is capitalized as mine development costs when the actual stripping ratio exceeds the average life-of-mine stripping ratio. Where the average life-of-mine stripping ratio exceeds the actual stripping ratio, the cost is charged to the income statement. | |||
| At the groups underground mines, all costs incurred to develop the property, including costs to access specific ore blocks or other areas of the underground mine, are capitalized to the extent that such costs will provide future economic benefits. These costs include the cost of shaft sinking and access, the costs of building access ways, lateral development, drift development, ramps, box cuts and other infrastructure development. | |||
| During the development stage, the group may enter into arrangements whereby it agrees to transfer a part of its mineral interest in consideration for an agreement by another party (the farmee) to meet certain expenditure which would otherwise have to be undertaken by the group. Such arrangements, referred to as farm-in transactions, are accounted for as executory contracts particularly when the expenditures to be incurred by the farmee are discretionary in nature, and the mineral interest to be transferred may vary depending upon such discretionary spend. At the date of completion of each partys obligations under the farm-in arrangement, the group derecognizes the proportion of the mining assets and liabilities associated with the joint venture that it has sold to the farmee, and recognizes its interest in the capital expenditure (consideration received) at fair value within operating assets. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset disposed of is recognized in profit or loss. | |||
| Borrowing costs are capitalized to the extent that they are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use. These costs are capitalized until the asset moves into the production phase. Other borrowing costs are expensed. | |||
| The net assets of operations placed on care and maintenance are impaired to their recoverable amount. Expenditure on the care and maintenance of these operations is charged against income, as incurred. | |||
| Where a depreciable asset is used in the construction or extension of a mine, the depreciation is capitalized against the mines cost. | |||
| (ii) | Non-mining assets: Land is shown at cost and not depreciated. Other non-mining fixed assets are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
F-14
| (iii) | Undeveloped properties are initially valued at the fair value of resources obtained through acquisitions. The carrying value of these properties are annually tested for impairment. Once development commences, these properties are transferred to mining properties and accounted for in accordance with the related accounting policy. | ||
| (iv) | Mineral and surface use rights represent mineral and surface use rights for parcels of land both owned and not owned by the group. Mineral and surface rights include acquired mineral use rights in production, development and exploration phase properties. The amount capitalized related to a mineral and surface right represents its fair value at the time it was acquired, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination, and is recorded at cost of acquisition. | ||
| Production phase mineral interests represent interests in operating properties that contain proved and probable reserves. Development phase mineral interests represent interests in properties under development that contain proved and probable reserves. Exploration phase mineral interests represent interests in properties that are believed to potentially contain (i) other mineralized material such as inferred material within pits; measured, indicated and inferred material with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proved and probable reserves; (ii) around-mine exploration potential such as inferred material not immediately adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization but located within the immediate mine infrastructure; (iii) other mine-related exploration potential that is not part of measured, indicated or inferred material and is comprised mainly of material outside of the immediate mine area; or (iv) greenfield exploration potential that is not associated with any production, development or exploration phase property as described above. | |||
| The groups mineral use rights are enforceable regardless of whether proved or probable reserves have been established. In certain limited situations, the nature of a use changes from an exploration right to a mining right upon the establishment of proved and probable reserves. the group has the ability and intent to renew mineral use rights where the existing term is not sufficient to recover all identified and valued proved and probable reserves and/or undeveloped mineral interests. | |||
| (v) | Leased assets: The group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The assets are capitalized at the leases commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. | ||
| Finance lease payments are allocated using the rate implicit in the lease, which is included in finance costs, and the capital repayment, which reduces the liability to the lessor. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in non current Borrowings, with the current portion included under Current Liabilities. | |||
| Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the lease terms. | |||
| (vi) | Depreciation and amortization of mineral property interests, mineral and surface rights, mine development costs and mine plant facilities are computed principally by the units of production method over the life of mine based on estimated quantities of economically recoverable proved and probable reserves, which can be recovered in future from known mineral deposits. | ||
| In most instances, proved and probable reserves provide the best indication of the useful life of the Groups mines (and related assets). However, in some instances, proved and probable reserves may not provide a realistic indication of the useful life of the mine (and related assets). This may be the case, for example, where management is confident that further resources will be converted into reserves and are approaching economic decisions affecting the mine on this basis, but has chosen to delay the work required to designate them formally as reserves. Managements confidence in the economical recovery of such resources may be based on historical experience and available geological information. In instances where management is able to demonstrate the economic recovery of such resources with a high level of confidence, such additional resources, as well as the associated future development costs of accessing those resources, are included in the calculation of depreciation and amortization. | |||
| Changes in managements estimates of economically recoverable reserves and resources impact depreciation and amortization on a prospective basis. During fiscal 2010, the Group revised its estimate of the useful lives of the Doornkop and Masimong operations to include certain resources in addition to proved and probable reserves. The inclusion of such resources resulted from increased confidence in the economic extraction of resources due to additional surface and underground drilling undertaken in the current year. The effect of including such resources in the useful life of these operations decreased annual depreciation by approximately US$1 million. |
F-15
| (vii) | Depreciation and amortization of non-mining fixed assets: Other non-mining fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: |
| | Vehicles at 20% per year; | ||
| | Computer equipment at 33.3% per year; and | ||
| | Commercial, off-the-shelf software at 50% per year; and | ||
| | Furniture and equipment at 16.67% per year. |
| The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. | |||
| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized in the income statement. | |||
| (viii) | Depreciation and amortization of mineral and surface use rights: Mineral rights associated with production phase mineral interests are amortized over the life of mine using the units-of-production method in order to match the amortization with the expected underlying future cash flows. Mineral interests associated with development and exploration phase mineral interests are not amortized until such time as the underlying property is converted to the production stage. |
| For details on the groups accounting policy on impairments, refer to note 2.8. |
| 2.6 | Exploration costs | ||
| The group expenses all exploration and evaluation expenditures until it is concluded that a future economic benefit is more likely to be realized than not, i.e. probable. The information used to make that determination depends on the level of exploration as well as the degree of confidence in the ore body. | |||
| Exploration and evaluation expenditure on greenfield sites, being those where the group does not have any mineral deposits which are already being mined or developed, is expensed as incurred until a final feasibility study has been completed, after which the future pre-commercial production expenditure is capitalized within development costs if the final feasibility study demonstrates that future economic benefits are probable. Capitalization of pre-production cost ceases when commercial levels of production are reached. Commercial levels of production is discussed under production start date in note 3.12. | |||
| Exploration and evaluation expenditure on brownfield sites, being those adjacent to mineral deposits which are already being mined or developed, is expensed as incurred until the group is able to demonstrate that future economic benefits are probable through the completion of a feasibility study, after which the expenditure is capitalized as mine development cost. A feasibility study consists of a comprehensive study of the viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where the mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, has been established, and which, if an effective method of mineral processing has been determined, includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions of technical, engineering, operating economic factors and the evaluation of other relevant factors. The feasibility study, when combined with existing knowledge of the mineral property that is adjacent to mineral deposits that are already being mined or developed, allows the group to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will obtain future economic benefit from the expenditures. | |||
| Exploration and evaluation expenditure relating to extensions of mineral deposits which are already being mined or developed, including expenditure on the definition of mineralization of such mineral deposits, is capitalized as a mine development cost following the completion of an economic evaluation equivalent to a feasibility study. This economic evaluation is distinguished from a feasibility study in that some of the information that would normally be determined in a feasibility study is instead obtained from the existing mine or development. This information when combined with existing knowledge of the mineral property already being mined or developed allow the directors to conclude that more likely than not the group will obtain future economic benefit from the expenditures. | |||
| Exploration properties acquired are recognized in the balance sheet within development cost and are shown at cost less provisions for impairment determined in accordance with the groups accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets (note 2.8). | |||
| 2.7 | Intangible assets | ||
| Intangible assets consist of all identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The following are the main categories of intangible assets: |
F-16
| (i) | Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life | ||
| Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the groups share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary, associate, joint venture or business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries, joint ventures and businesses are included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates and tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. | |||
| Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are recognized immediately in the income statement and are not reversed. The impairment testing is performed annually on June 30 or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. | |||
| Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. If the composition of one or more cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated changes due to a re-organization, the goodwill is re-allocated to the units affected. | |||
| The gain or loss on disposal of an entity includes the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. | |||
| (ii) | Intangible assets with a finite useful life | ||
| Acquired computer software licenses that requires further internal development are capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Cost to bring to use the specific software, includes software development employee costs and attributable overheads. Development expenditure incurred that will not likely generate probable future economic benefits and cannot be reliability measured are recognized as an expense as incurred. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight line basis of over their estimated useful lives, which are reviewed annually, as follows: |
| | Computer software at 20% per year. |
| 2.8 | Impairment of non-financial assets | ||
| Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. | |||
| Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed annually on June 30 for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. | |||
| An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement for the amount by which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Each operating shaft, along with allocated common assets such as plants and administrative offices, is considered to be a cash generating unit as each shaft is largely independent from the cash flows of other shafts and assets belonging to the group. | |||
| Fair value less cost to sell is generally determined by using discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and cash costs of production, all based on life-of-mine plans. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post tax discount rate that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specific to the asset. | |||
| The term recoverable minerals refers to the estimated amount of gold that will be obtained from reserves and resources and all related exploration stage mineral interests (except for other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields exploration potential discussed separately below) after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such related exploration stage mineral interests will be risk adjusted based on managements relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups. With the exception of other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields exploration potential, estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are included on an area of interest basis, which generally represents an individual operating mine, even if the mines are included in a larger mine complex. | |||
| In the case of mineral interests associated with other mine-related exploration potential and greenfields exploration potential, cash flows and fair values are individually evaluated based primarily on recent exploration results and recent transactions involving sales of similar properties, if any. Assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. |
F-17
| Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed annually for possible reversal of the impairment at June 30. Reversal of impairments is also considered when there is objective evidence to indicate that the asset is no longer impaired. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not higher than the carrying value that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior years. | |||
| 2.9 | Financial instruments | ||
| Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value when the group becomes a party to their contractual arrangements. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of financial instruments, with the exception of financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss. The subsequent measurement of financial instruments is discussed below. | |||
| A financial asset is derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or the group has transferred its rights to receive cash and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the assets. | |||
| A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. | |||
| On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is recognized in profit and loss. | |||
| On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the amount paid is recognized in profit or loss. | |||
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. | |||
| Financial assets | |||
| The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. | |||
| Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. |
| (i) | Loans and receivables, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables (excluding VAT and prepayments), restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents. | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted cash (discussed below). | |||
| Restricted cash | |||
| Restricted cash consists of cash collateral posted for guarantees and performance bonds related to environmental rehabilitation and as security deposits on mining tenements. | |||
| Trade and other receivables | |||
| Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision for impairment (allowance account) and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in the income statement. |
F-18
| (ii) | Available-for-sale financial assets , are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. | ||
| Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available for sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences on monetary securities are recognized in profit or loss, while translation differences on non-monetary securities are recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. | |||
| When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified in the income statement as profit or loss from investment securities. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the income statement as part of investment income when the groups right to receive payments is established. Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the income statement as part of investment income. | |||
| The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the value for a financial instrument cannot be obtained from an active market, the group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arms length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuers specific circumstances. The valuation techniques make maximum use of market inputs and rely as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. | |||
| The group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If considered impaired, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss is removed from other reserves and recognized in the income statement. Subsequent increases in the fair value are recognized in equity impairment losses recognized in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. | |||
| (iii) | Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the groups management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The groups held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. | ||
| A portion of restricted investments held by the trust funds (refer note 19) are classified as held-to-maturity investments. | |||
| The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a held-to-maturity investment is impaired as a result of an event. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the held-to-maturity investments original effective interest rate. The assets carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. | |||
| If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. | |||
| (iv) | Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management in terms of specified criteria. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value with gains or losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from these assets is recognized in the income statement as part of investment income when the groups right to receive payment is established. |
F-19
| Financial liabilities | |||
| Borrowings | |||
| Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortized cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortization, using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. | |||
| Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are capitalized as a pre-payment and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates. | |||
| Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. | |||
| Trade and other payables | |||
| Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within a year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. | |||
| 2.10 | Inventories | ||
| Inventories which include bullion on hand, gold in process, gold in lock-up, ore stockpiles and stores and materials, are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value after appropriate allowances for redundant and slow moving items. Cost of bullion, gold in process and gold in lock-up is determined by reference to production cost, including amortization and depreciation at the relevant stage of production. Ore stockpiles are valued at average production cost. Stockpiles and gold in lock-up are classified as a non current asset where the stockpile exceeds current processing capacity and where a portion of static gold in lock-up is expected to be recovered more than 12 months after balance sheet date. | |||
| Stores and materials consist of consumable stores and are valued at weighted average cost. | |||
| Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to perform the sale. | |||
| Gold in process inventories represent materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product. Conversion processes vary depending on the nature of the ore and the specific mining operation, but include mill in-circuit, leach in-circuit, flotation and column cells, and carbon in-pulp inventories. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed to process and the projected recoveries at the respective plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed to process attributable to the source material coming from the mine, stockpile or leach pad plus the in-process conversion costs, including the applicable depreciation relating to the process facility, incurred to that point in the process. Gold in process includes gold in lock-up which is generally measured from the plants onwards. Gold in lock-up is estimated as described under the section dealing with critical accounting estimates and judgements (refer to note 3). It is expected to be extracted when plants are demolished at the end of its useful lives, which is largely dependant on the estimated useful life of the operations feeding the plants. Where mechanized mining is used in underground operations, in-progress material is accounted for at the earliest stage of production when reliable estimates of quantities and costs are capable of being made. Given the varying nature of the groups open pit operations, gold in process represents either production in broken ore form or production from the time of placement on heap leach pads. | |||
| 2.11 | Non-current assets or disposal group held for sale and discontinued operations | ||
| A non-current asset or disposal group (a business grouping of assets and their related liabilities) is designated as held for sale and stated at lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell, when its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The classification as held for sale of a non-current asset or disposal group occurs when it is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. A sale is considered highly probable if management is committed to a plan to sell the non-current asset or disposal group, an active divestiture programme has been initiated, the non-current assets or disposal group is marketed at a price reasonable to its fair value and the disposal will be completed within one year from classification. | |||
| Upon classification of a non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale, it is reviewed for impairment. The impairment charged to the income statement is the excess of the carrying value of the non-current asset or disposal group over its expected net selling price (fair value less costs to sell). At each subsequent reporting date, the carrying values are remeasured for possible impairment. A reversal of impairment is recognized for any subsequent increase in net selling price but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss already recognized. | |||
| No depreciation is provided on non-current assets from the date they are classified as held for sale. |
F-20
| When a disposal group is classified as held for sale it is also necessary to assess whether or not the criteria for discontinued operations are met. If the criteria are met, the results of the disposal group are classified as discontinued operations in the income statement and the comparative amounts restated for all periods presented. No restatement of balance sheet comparative amounts are done. | |||
| If a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale but the criteria for classification as held for sale are no longer met, the disclosure of such non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale is ceased. | |||
| On ceasing such classification, the non-current assets are reflected at the lower of: |
| | the carrying amount before classification as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation or amortization that would have been recognized had the assets not been classified as held for sale; or | ||
| | the recoverable amount at the date the classification as held for sale ceases. The recoverable amount is the amount at which the asset would have been recognized after the allocation of any impairment loss arising on the cash generating unit as determined in accordance with the groups policy on impairment of non-financial assets. |
| Any adjustment required to be made on reclassification is charged to the income statement on reclassification, and included in income from continuing operations. | |||
| Where the disposal group was also classified as a discontinued operation, the subsequent classification from held for sale also requires that the discontinued operation be included in continuing operations. Comparative information in the income statement and cash flow note disclosures relating to the classification as a discontinued operation is re-presented accordingly. Comparative information in the balance sheet is not re-presented for this change. | |||
| 2.12 | Environmental obligations | ||
| Estimated long-term environmental obligations, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the groups environmental management plans in compliance with current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements. | |||
| Based on disturbances to date, the net present value of expected rehabilitation cost estimates are recognized and provided for in full in the financial statements. The estimates are reviewed annually and are discounted using a pre-tax risk-free rate that is adjusted to reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. | |||
| Annual changes in the provision consist of finance costs relating to the change in the present value of the provision and inflationary increases in the provision estimate, as well as changes in estimates. The present value of environmental disturbances created are capitalized to mining assets against an increase in the rehabilitation provision. If a decrease in liability exceed the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized immediately in the income statement. If the asset value is increased and there is an indication that the revised carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment test is performed in accordance with the accounting policy dealing with impairments of non financial assets. Rehabilitation projects undertaken, included in the estimates are charged to the provision as incurred. The cost of on-going current programmes to prevent and control pollution is charged against income as incurred. Over time, the liability is increased to reflect an interest element, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the life of the related asset. | |||
| 2.13 | Environmental trust funds | ||
| Contributions are made to the groups trust funds, created in accordance with statutory requirements, to fund the estimated cost of pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure at the end of the life of the groups mines. The trusts are consolidated into the group as the group exercises full control of the trust. Income earned on investments classified as held-to-maturity is accounted for as investment income and accrues on a time proportion basis. Fair value movements on investments designated as fair value through profit or loss are reflected in the net gain/(loss) on financial instruments. The funds in the trust funds are included under restricted investments on the balance sheet. | |||
| 2.14 | Provisions | ||
| Provisions are recognized when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. | |||
| The amount recognized as a provision is the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at balance sheet date using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. This estimate takes into account the associated risks and uncertainties. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. | |||
| Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, the provision is reversed. |
F-21
| 2.15 | Current and deferred taxation | ||
| The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. | |||
| The group follows the comprehensive liability method of accounting for deferred tax using the balance sheet approach. Under this method deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying expected tax rates to the differences between the tax base of all assets or liabilities and its balance sheet carrying amount, except to the extent that deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and does not affect the accounting or taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax is charged to profit or loss, except where the tax relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity in which case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to equity. | |||
| The principal temporary differences arise from amortization and depreciation on property, plant and equipment, provisions, post retirement benefits, unutilized tax losses and unutilized capital allowances carried forward. Deferred tax assets relating to the carry forward of unutilized tax losses and unutilized capital allowances are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unutilized tax losses and unutilized capital allowances can be utilized. | |||
| Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. | |||
| Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. | |||
| 2.16 | Employee benefits |
| (i) | Pension and provident plans are funded through annual contributions . The group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity in terms of the defined contribution pension and provident plans which is charged to the income statement in the year to which they relate. The groups liability is limited to its annually determined contributions and has no further liability, legally or constructive if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. | ||
| (ii) | Medical plans: The group provides medical cover to current employees and certain retirees through certain funds. The medical accounting costs for the defined benefit plan are assessed using the projected unit credit method. The health care obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using high quality government bond interest rates consistent with the term and risks of the obligation less the fair value of plan assets together with adjustments for unrecognized past service cost. Actuarial gains and losses as a result of these valuations are recognized in the income statement at revaluation date. The future liability for current and retired employees and their dependents is accrued in full based on actuarial valuations obtained annually. | ||
| (iii) | Equity compensation benefits: The group operates an equity-settled, share-based payments plan, where the group grants share options to certain employees in exchange for services received. Equity share-based payments are measured at fair value that includes market performance conditions but excluded the impact of any service and non market performance conditions of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. The share-based payments are expensed over the vesting period, based on the groups estimate of the shares that are expected to eventually vest. the group used an appropriate option pricing model in determining the fair value of the options granted. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable are revised. The impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, are recognized in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised. | ||
| (iv) | Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. the group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value. |
F-22
| (v) | Leave pay: The group accrues for the cost of the leave days granted to employees during the period in which the leave days accumulate. |
| 2.17 | Share capital | ||
| Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. | |||
| 2.18 | Leases | ||
| Leases in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. | |||
| For the groups policy on finance leases, refer to note 2.5 (v). | |||
| 2.19 | Revenue recognition |
| (i) | Revenue arising from gold sales is recognized when the price is determinable, the product has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. These criteria are typically met when the gold arrives at the refinery. | ||
| Revenue further excludes value-added tax. Revenues from silver and other by-products sales are credited to production costs as a by-product credit. | |||
| (ii) | Interest income : Interest is recognized on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the group. | ||
| (iii) | Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is established. This is recognized at the last date of registration. |
| 2.20 | Dividends declared | ||
| Dividends declared are recognized in the period in which they are approved by the Board of directors. Dividends are payable in South African Rand. |
| 3 | Critical accounting estimates and judgements |
| The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the groups management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets 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. | ||
| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. | ||
| The resulting accounting estimates may differ from actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: |
| 3.1 | Impairment of mining assets | ||
| The recoverable amount of mining assets is generally determined utilizing discounted future cash flows. Management also considers such factors as the quality of the individual orebody, market risk, asset specific risks and country risk in determining the fair value. | |||
| Key assumptions for the calculations of the mining assets recoverable amounts are the gold price, marketable discount rates (cost-to-sell), exchange rates and the annual life-of-mine plans. In determining the gold price to be used, management assess the long-term views of several reputable institutions on the gold price and based on this, derive the gold price. The life-of-mine plans are based on the proved and probable reserves as included in the Reserve Declaration, which are determined in terms of SAMREC and JORC, as well as resources where management has high confidence in the ore-body and economical recovery of gold, based on historic and similar geological experience. The marketable discount rate was estimated at 2%. |
F-23
| During the year under review, the group calculated the recoverable amounts (generally fair value less costs to sell) based on updated life of mine plans, a gold price of R275 000 per kilogram (US$1050 per ounce) and a post tax real discount rate, which ranges between 5.92% and 10.72% depending on the asset (2009: R225 000 per kilogram (US$750 per ounce) and a 9.34% discount rate) (2008: R180 000 per kilogram (US$750 per ounce) and a discount rate of 11.36%). Cash flows used in the impairment calculations are based on life-of-mine plans which exceed five years for the majority of the mines. Refer to note 5 for details of impairments recorded. | |||
| Should managements estimate of the future not reflect actual events, further impairments may be identified. Factors affecting the estimates include: |
| | changes to proved and probable ore reserves; | ||
| | economical recovery of resources | ||
| | the grade of the ore reserves may vary significantly from time to time; | ||
| | review of strategy; | ||
| | differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions; | ||
| | unforeseen operational issues at the mines; | ||
| | changes in capital, operating mining, processing and reclamation costs. |
| Sensitivity analysis | |||
| One of the most significant assumptions that influence the life-of-mine plans and therefore impairments is the expected gold price. A 10% decrease in the gold price at June 30, 2010 would have resulted in an additional impairment at Steyn 2 Shaft of US$1.8 million. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. |
| 3.2 | Impairment of investment in associate | ||
| The investments in associates are evaluated annually for impairment by comparing the entire carrying value of the investment to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. | |||
| 3.3 | Valuation of available-for-sale financial assets | ||
| If the value of financial instruments cannot be obtained from an active market, the group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arms length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuers specific circumstances. When considering indications of an impairment, management considers a prolonged decline to be longer than 12 months. The significance of the decline is assessed for each security individually. | |||
| 3.4 | Estimate of exposure and liabilities with regard to rehabilitation costs | ||
| Estimated long-term environmental obligations, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the groups environmental management plans in compliance with current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements. | |||
| Significant judgement is applied in estimating ultimate rehabilitation cost that will be required in future to rehabilitate the groups mines. Ultimate cost may significantly differ from current estimates. | |||
| Management used an inflation rate of 6.23% (2009: 6%) (2008: short-term (two years): 9% and long term: 6%) and the expected life of the mines according to the life-of-mine plans in the calculation of the estimated net present value of the rehabilitation liability. The discount rates used for the calculation are dependant on the shafts life of mine and are as follows: for 12 months 6.75% (2009: 6.75%) (2008: 12.25%); for 1 5 years 8% (2009: 8.25%) (2008: 11.75%); for 6 9 years 8.5% (2009: 8.25%) (2008: 10.5%) and for 10 years or more 9% (2009: 8.75%) (2008: 10.25%). These estimates were based on recent yields determined on government bonds. | |||
| 3.5 | Estimate of employee benefit liabilities | ||
| An updated actuarial valuation is carried out at the end of each financial year. Assumptions used to determine the liability included a discount rate of 10.3%, no increases in employer subsidies (in terms of the agreement) and mortality rates according to the SA 1956/62 mortality table ( SA a mf tables) (60 years) and a medical inflation rate of 8.14% (2009: discount rate of 10%, 60 years and 7.8% inflation rate) (2008: discount rate of 12%, 60 years and 9.8% inflation rate). | |||
| Management determined the discount rate by assessing financial instruments with similar terms to the liability. The changes to the discount rate and medical inflation rate are similar to changes in interest and inflation rates in South Africa. | |||
| 3.6 | Estimate of taxation | ||
| The group is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit queries based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. |
F-24
| Management has to exercise judgement with regards to deferred tax assets. Where the possibility exists that no future taxable income may flow against which these assets can be offset, the deferred tax assets are not recognized. | |||
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. When different tax rates apply to different levels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the average tax rates that are expected to apply to the taxable profit (tax loss) of the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. At the groups South African operations, such average tax rates are directly impacted by the profitability of the relevant mine. The deferred tax rate is therefore based on the current estimate of future profitability of an operation when temporary differences will reverse, based in tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. | |||
| The future profitability of each mine, in turn, is determined by reference to the Life-of-Mine (LoM) plan for that operation. The LoM plan is influenced by factors as disclosed in note 3.1, which may differ from one year to the next and ultimately result in the deferred tax rate changing from one year to the next. Refer to note 13 for further detail. | |||
| 3.7 | Fair value of share-based payments | ||
| The fair value of options granted are being determined using either a binominal, Black-Scholes or a Monte Carlo valuation model. The significant inputs into the model are: vesting period, risk free interest rate, volatility, price on date of grant and dividend yield. (Refer to note 34 for detail on each of the share option schemes.) | |||
| 3.8 | Impairment of goodwill | ||
| Due to the wasting nature of mining assets and the finite life of a mines reserves, the allocation of goodwill to a shaft will eventually result in an impairment charge for the goodwill. The group tests annually whether separately identifiable goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2.8. These calculations require the use of estimates as stated in note 3.1. | |||
| 3.9 | Gold in lock-up | ||
| Gold in lock-up is estimated based on the expected volumes treated and calculated plant call factor. Plant call factor is the efficiency measurement of the percentage of gold extracted from the ore. Management need to exercise judgement with regards to lock-up volumes, life-of-mine plans, gold prices, exchange rates and post tax real discount rates. | |||
| 3.10 | Assessment of contingencies | ||
| Contingencies will only realize when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The exercise of significant judgement and estimates of the outcome of future events are required during the assessment of the impact of such contingencies. | |||
| 3.11 | Gold mineral reserves and resources | ||
| Gold mineral reserves and resources are estimates of the amount of ounces that can be economically and legally extracted from the groups properties. In order to calculate the gold mineral reserves and resources, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, commodity prices and exchange rates. | |||
| Estimating the quantities and/or grade of the reserves and resources requires the size, shape and depth of the ore bodies to be determined by analyzing geological data such as the logging and assaying of drill samples. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgements and calculations to interpret the data. | |||
| Because the economic assumptions used to estimate the gold mineral reserves and resources change from year to year, and because additional geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of the mineral reserves and resources may change from year to year. Changes in the reserves and resources may affect the groups financial results and financial position in a number of ways, including: |
| | asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated cash flows; | ||
| | depreciation and amortization charged in the income statement may change as they are calculated on the units-of-production method; and | ||
| | environmental provisions may change as the timing and/or cost of these activities may be affected by the change in mineral reserves. |
| At the end of each financial year, the estimate of proved and probable gold mineral reserves and resources is updated. Depreciation of mining assets is prospectively adjusted, based on these changes. |
F-25
| 3.12 | Production start date | ||
| Various relevant criteria are considered in order to assess when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use and moves into the production phase. Some of the criteria would include but are not limited to the following: |
| | the level of capital expenditure compared to the total project cost estimates; | ||
| | the ability to produce gold in a saleable form (where more than an insignificant amount of gold has been produced); and | ||
| | the ability to sustain the on-going production of gold. |

| 4 | Financial risk management | |
| The groups financial instruments expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group may use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. | ||

| The carrying amount of loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and financial liabilities at amortized cost approximate their fair value. | ||
| Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges certain selected financial risks in close co-operation with the groups operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. |
| (a) | Market risk |
| (i) Foreign exchange risk |
| The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar (US$). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entitys functional currency. Harmonys revenues are sensitive to the R/US$ exchange rate as all revenues are generated by gold sales denominated in US$. Harmony generally does not enter into forward sales, derivatives or other hedging arrangements to establish exchange rates in advance for the sale of its future gold production. | |||
| The group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of that entity. Harmony generally does not enter into forward sales, derivatives or other hedging arrangements to manage this risk. |
F-27
| Sensitivity analysis | |||
| The group has reviewed its foreign currency exposure on financial assets and financial liabilities and has identified the following sensitivities for a 10% change in the exchange rate. |

| (ii) Other price risk | |||
| The group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets as a result of changes in market prices (other than changes in interest rates and foreign currencies). Harmony generally does not use any derivative instruments to manage this risk. | |||
| Sensitivity analysis | |||
| A one percent increase in the share price at the reporting date, with all other variables held constant, would have increased other comprehensive income by US$1.8 million (2009: US$0.1 million); an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased other comprehensive income by US$1.8 million (2009: US$0.1 million). The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009. | |||
| Commodity price sensitivity | |||
| The profitability of the groups operations, and the cash flows generated by those operations, are affected by changes in the market price of gold. Harmony generally does not enter into forward sales, derivatives or other hedging arrangements to establish a price in advance for the sale of future gold production. | |||
| (iii) Cash flow and fair value Interest rate risk | |||
| The groups interest rate risk arises mainly from long-term borrowings. The group has variable interest rate borrowings. Variable rate borrowings expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. The group has not entered into interest rate swap agreements. | |||
| Sensitivity analysis | |||
| A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss before tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2009. |

| (b) | Credit risk | ||
| Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may default or not meet its obligations timeously. Financial instruments, which subject the group to concentrations of credit risk, consist predominantly of restricted cash, restricted investments, trade and other receivables (excluding non-financial instruments) and cash and cash equivalents. | |||
| Exposure to credit risk on trade and other receivables is monitored on a regular basis. The credit risk arising from restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments is managed by ensuring amounts are only invested with financial institutions of good credit quality. The group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. |

| It is the policy of the group to renegotiate credit terms with long-standing customers who have a good credit history with the group. These customers are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the customer remains within the renegotiated terms. | |||
| The groups maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of all financial assets determined to be exposed to credit risk, amounting to US$445.5 million as at June 30, 2010 (2009: US$575.8 million). | |||
| (c) | Liquidity Risk | ||
| Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. | |||
| In the ordinary course of business, the group receives cash from its operations and is required to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The cash is managed to ensure that surplus funds are invested in a manner to achieve market-related returns and to provide sufficient liquidity at the minimum risk. The group is able to actively source financing at competitive rates. |

| (d) | Capital risk management | ||
| The primary objective of managing the groups capital is to ensure that there is sufficient capital available to support the funding requirements of the group, in a way that optimizes the cost of capital and matches the current strategic business plan. | |||
| The group manages and makes adjustments to the capital structure, which consists of debt and equity as and when borrowings mature or when funding is required. This may take the form of raising equity, market or bank debt or hybrids thereof. The group may also adjust the amount of dividends paid, sell assets to reduce debt or schedule projects to manage the capital structure. | |||
| There were no changes to the groups approach to capital management during the year. | |||
| (e) | Fair value determination | ||
| Effective July 1, 2009, the group adopted the amendment to IFRS 7 for financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value. This requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: |
| 1) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). | |||
| 2) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). | |||
| 3) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). |

The remaining balance for 2010 and the impairment recognized in 2009 resulted from revised business (life-of-mine) plans, which are completed in June of each year and included increases in electricity cost and labor cost. Included in the business plans in 2009 for Evander and Target was additional capital expenditure that was needed to access reserve ounces in areas where geological anomalies have been discovered. | |
| These adjustments impacted negatively on the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and contributed to the recognition of the impairments at the shafts. Impairment tests were performed as required by IAS 36, Impairment of Assets , and as a result these impairments were recorded. For assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount, refer to note 3.1. | ||

| During fiscal 2008, two intercompany loans, previously designated as forming part of the net investment of the groups international operations, were de-designated, mainly as a result of the expected repayment of these loans. In accordance with the groups accounting policies, accumulated exchange gains that arose while the loans were considered to form part of the groups net investment in its international operations remain in equity and are only reclassified to the consolidated income statements as and when the loans are repaid. The repayment of these loans resulted in an exchange gain of US$53.1 million being recognized in the consolidated income statement in the 2009 financial year. Following the adoption of the amendment to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, on 1 July 2009, the remaining accumulated exchange reserves relating to these de-designated loans will remain in equity until the Australian and or PNG operations are sold, or control is otherwise lost. |

| (a) | Mining tax on gold mining income in South Africa is determined according to a formula, based on the taxable income from mining operations. Gold mining companies within the group that have elected to be exempt from Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) are taxed at higher rates than those that have not made the election. | ||
| All qualifying mining capital expenditure is deducted from taxable mining income to the extent that it does not result in an assessed loss. Accounting depreciation is eliminated when calculating the South African mining tax income. Excess capital expenditure is carried forward as unredeemed capital to be claimed from future mining taxable income. The group has several tax paying entities in South Africa. In terms of the mining ring-fencing application, each ring-fenced mine is treated separately and deductions can normally only be utilized against mining income generated from the relevant ring-fenced mine. |
F-36
| The formulas for determining the South African gold mining tax rates for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 financial years are: | |||
| Y = 43 - 215/X (entities whom elected not to pay STC) | |||
| Y = 34 - 170/X (entities whom did not make the election) | |||
| Where Y is the percentage rate of tax payable and X is the ratio of taxable income, net of any qualifying capital expenditure that bears to mining income so derived, expressed as a percentage. | |||
| (b) | Non-mining income is taxed at 35% (exempt from STC) and 28% (no election made). Non-mining companies are taxed at the statutory corporate rate of 28%. | ||
| (c) | The deferred tax rate used to calculate deferred tax is based on the current estimate of future profitability when temporary differences will reverse, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at balance sheet date. Depending on the profitability of the operations, the deferred tax rate can consequently be significantly different from year to year. | ||
| (d) | Mining and non-mining income of Australian and PNG operations are taxed at a standard tax rate of 30%. | ||
| Income and mining tax rates | |||
| The tax rates remained unchanged for the 2010 and 2009 financial years. | |||
| Major items causing the groups income tax provision to differ from the maximum mining statutory tax rate of 43% (2009: 43% and 2008: 43%) were: |

| For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares as a result of share options granted to employees under the share option schemes in issue. A calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, determined as the average annual market share price of the Companys shares, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. |

| (b) | The social trust fund is an irrevocable trust under the groups control and is classified as a held to maturity investment. The group has undertaken to donate over a period of 10 years to The Harmony Gold Mining Group Social Plan Trust in terms of an agreement signed on 3 November 2003.

| (a) | On February 27, 2008, Pamodzi Gold Limited ( Pamodzi ) bought the Orkney operations from the group for a consideration of 30 million Pamodzi shares. This resulted in Harmony owning 32.4% of Pamodzi valued at US$46.5 million being US$1.54 per share on acquisition date. Pamodzi was listed on the JSE and had interests in operating gold mines in South Africa. | ||
| An impairment of the investment in associate of US$12.3 million was recognized at June 30, 2008, as the market value of the share had decreased to US$0.62 per share. The fair value of the investment was US$18.6 million. For the four months to June 30, 2008, the group recognized US$10.6 million as its share of losses from associates. | |||
| On September 30, 2008, an impairment test was performed and an impairment of US$13.5 million was recorded, bringing the total impairment recorded on the investment to date to US$25.8 million. After taking into account the Groups share of losses of US$3.7 million, the carrying value at December 31, 2008 was R0. Total share in losses to date was US$14.3 million. Subsequently, the Group has not recognized its share of any further losses. Pamodzi was placed in liquidation and the trading of its shares on the JSE was suspended. | |||
| At the time of this report being finalized no audited financial statements were available for years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008. The extract below represents unaudited information for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. No financial information subsequent to this date is available, and therefore no information has been disclosed for 2010. |

| (b) | The group owns a 40% share of Rand Uranium, which is an unlisted company registered in South Africa, with gold mining operations in the Gauteng province of South Africa. | ||
| The groups interest was obtained by the completion of two transactions, discussed below. | |||
| On November 21, 2008, the companys wholly-owned subsidiary Randfontein Estates Limited disposed of its Randfontein Cooke assets to a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Rand Uranium, for a consideration of US$328 million, settled with Rand Uranium shares. In a related transaction on the same date, 60% of these shares were sold to PRF for US$197 million. US$40 million was paid on the effective date and the balance of US$157 million was paid on April 20, 2009. Interest was charged on the outstanding balance at 5% per annum, resulting in US$3.3 million being recognized in the income statement. The interest was also received on April 20, 2009. | |||
| The conditions precedent for the second part of the Rand Uranium transaction relating to the sale of the Old Randfontein assets to Rand Uranium were fulfilled on April 22, 2009. These assets were valued at US$20 million. Additional shares were issued in settlement and 60% of these shares were sold to PRF in terms of the agreement. PRF paid its portion of the purchase price, US$12 million, in cash on April 20, 2009. | |||
| The shareholders agreement includes certain restrictions on the groups ability to dispose of its shares in Rand Uranium for a period of up to four years from the effective date, being November 21, 2008. In addition, PRF has the right, for a period of up to four years after the effective date, to have first claim on the proceeds, up to a specified amount, in the event of a disposal of the operations. Harmony has first right of refusal in such an event. However due to the contingent nature of the provision, the group has made no adjustments to the associates carrying amount. | |||
| The group recognised a profit of US$171.1 million (before tax) on these transactions during the 2009 year. This profit is included in the profit from discontinued operations. Refer to note 14. |
F-48
| The group recognized its share of the post-acquisition profits of US$7 million (7 months ending June 30, 2009: US$5.1 million). | |||
| Rand Uranium has a year end of June 30. The audited financial information of Rand Uranium for the years ended June 30, 2010 and at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 are as follows: |

| 22 | Investment in Joint Venture |
| Morobe Mining Joint Venture (MMJV) Partnership agreement (50%) | |||
| The group has a 50% interest in gold and copper assets located in the Morobe province. Newcrest owns the remaining 50% interest in these assets. This partnership was formed during the 2009 financial year through a range of transactions, which are discussed below. | |||
| On April 22, 2008 Morobe Consolidated Goldfields Limited and Wafi Mining Limited, subsidiaries of Harmony Australia, entered into a Master Purchase and Farm-in Agreement with Newcrest. This agreement provided for Newcrest to purchase a 30.01% participating interest (stage 1) and a further farm-in of an additional 19.99% participating interest in Harmonys Morobe gold and copper assets, giving them a 50% interest. The total value of the transaction was estimated at US$530 million. | |||
| On July 16, 2008, the conditions to the Master Purchase and Farm-in agreement were finalized, which included regulatory and statutory approvals by the PNG Government. Stage 1 completion took place on July 31, 2008, and a total consideration of US$229.8 million was received on August 7, 2008, of which US$50.0 million was placed in a jointly controlled escrow account. This amount was subsequently released to Harmony following confirmation of approval of an exploration license during September 2008 by the PNG Mining authorities. | |||
| Harmony recognized a profit of US$57.9 million on the completion of stage 1, which represented a sale of a 30.01% undivided interest of Harmonys PNG gold and copper assets and liabilities comprising the joint venture. |
F-49
| During the farm-in period, Harmony agreed to transfer a further 19.99% interest to Newcrest in consideration for an agreement by Newcrest to meet certain expenditure which would otherwise have to be undertaken by Harmony. The interest to be transferred was conditional on the level of capital expenditures funded by Newcrest at certain milestones, and by the end of February 2009, Newcrest acquired another 10% through the farm-in arrangement. The final 9.99% was acquired by June 30, 2009. | |||
| At the date of completion of each partys obligations under the farm-in arrangement, Harmony derecognized the proportion of the mining assets and liabilities in the joint venture that it had sold to Newcrest, and recognized its interest in the capital expenditure at fair value. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset disposed of during the farm-in arrangement amounted to a gain of US$54 million, which has been included in the consolidated income statement for 2009. | |||

| Based on past experience, the group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of fully performing receivables as the amount relates to customers that have a good track record with the group. Similarly, the other loans and receivables noted above, other than those provided for, are fully performing and considered to be a low credit risk. | |||
| During fiscal 2008, the balance of US$6 million due from Ogoerion Construction CC for the purchase of the Deelkraal surface assets was impaired. In fiscal 2009, the deal was renegotiated and the Deelkraal plant was excluded from the transaction. The purchase price was revised and as a result, the balance due and the related provision for impairment of trade receivables was reversed. | |||
| During fiscal 2010 and 2009 there was no renegotiation of the terms of any receivable, other than as discussed above. | |||
| As at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, there was no collateral pledged or held for any of the receivables. |

| 2010 Financial year | ||
| On March 19, 2010, Harmony concluded an agreement with Africa Vanguard Resources (Doornkop) (Proprietary) Limited (AVRD) for the purchase of its 26% share of the mining titles on the Doornkop South Reef. Part of the purchase consideration was the issuance of 2 162 359 Harmony shares to AVRD. In terms of the purchase agreement 975 419 Harmony shares are held in escrow until May 1, 2014. Refer to note 26 | ||
| 2009 Financial year | ||
| On December 1, 2008, Harmony issued 3 364 675 shares to Rio Tinto. The Harmony shares were issued to cancel the Rio Tinto royalty rights over Wafi-Golpu in PNG. The value of issued shares was US$23 million at R71.98 per share. | ||
| Harmony engaged in capital raising by issuing two tranches of shares following the resolution passed by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on November 24, 2008. The first tranche was issued into the open market between November 25, 2008 and December 19, 2008. In this tranche, 10 504 795 Harmony shares were issued at an average subscription price of R93.20, resulting in US$97.9 million before costs being raised. The cost of the issue was US$1.9 million, or 1.5%, of the value of shares issued. | ||
| A second tranche of shares was issued for cash into the open market between February 10, 2009 and March 6, 2009. This tranche consisted of 7 540 646 Harmony shares at an average subscription price of R124.45, resulting in US$93.5 million before costs being raised. The cost of the issue was US$1.6 million or 1.6% of the value of shares issued. The combined share issue amounts to US$192 million, or 4.5%, of the issued share capital as at September 30, 2008. | ||

| (a) | The balance of the foreign exchange translation reserve movement represents the cumulative translation effect of the groups off-shore operations. The US dollar amount includes the translation effect from Rand to US dollar. | ||
| The realized portion reclassified through profit or loss relates to the sale of Big Bell operations in Australia and the liquidation of Harmony Gold Peru SA and Harmony Precious Metal Services SAS. Refer to note 7 for further detail. | |||
| (b) | The balance of the fair value movement reserve represents the movement in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets. For details on the movement, refer to note 20. For details regarding the realised portion reclassified to profit or loss refer to note 10(b). | ||
| (c) | On May 24, 2004, the group issued a convertible bond. The amount representing the value of the equity conversion component is included in other reserves, net of deferred income taxes. The equity conversion component is determined on the issue of the bonds and is not changed in subsequent periods. | ||
| (d) | On March 15, 2004 Harmony announced that it had made an off market cash offer to acquire all the ordinary shares, listed and unlisted options of Abelle, held by non-controlling interests. The excess of the purchase price of US$86.5 million over the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest acquired, amounting to US$55 million, has been accounted for under other reserves. |
F-55
| (e) | The group issues equity-settled instruments to certain qualifying employees under an Employee Share Option Scheme to purchase shares in the Companys authorised but unissued ordinary shares. Equity share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. Share-based payments are expensed over the vesting period, based on the groups estimate of the shares that are expected to eventually vest. During fiscal 2010 a share-based payment expense of US$19.5 million (2009: US$12.6 million) was charged to the income statement. (Refer to note 34 for more detail). | ||
| (f) | On March 19, 2010, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited concluded an agreement with AVRD, for the purchase of its 26% share of the mining titles of the Doornkop South Reef. From an accounting perspective, the sale of the 26% share in the mining titles was never recognized and accounted for as an in-substance call option by AVRD over the 26% mineral right. This was due to AVRD not being exposed to any losses relating to the Doornkop mineral right, and entitled at any point in time to repay the Nedbank loan guaranteed by Harmony thereby becoming unconditionally entitled to the upside in the mineral right. The agreement to purchase AVRDs 26% interest during fiscal 2010 is therefore considered to be a repurchase of the option (equity interest). The difference between the value of the shares issued of US$20.5 million (see note 25), the liability to African Vanguard Resources (Proprietary) Limited (see note 29(a)) and transaction costs, have been taken directly to equity. |
| 27 | Provision for environmental rehabilitation |
| The groups mining and exploration activities are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The group has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. The following is a reconciliation of the total liability for environmental rehabilitation: |

| (a) | The loan to AVRD from its holding company African Vanguard Resources (Proprietary) Limited has been derecognized during the year. Refer to note 26(f). The loan was unsecured and interest free. | ||
| (b) | On July 30, 2003, AVRD partially funded the purchase of an undivided 26% share of the Mining titles relating to the Doornkop South Reef project, with a R140 million (US$19.1 million) Nedbank term loan facility. This facility to AVRD was guaranteed by Harmony and certain of its subsidiaries. As a result of this guarantee and other factors, the company was required to consolidate AVRD into the group. | ||
| On March 31, 2010, the company settled this facility as part of the purchase consideration. Refer to note 26(f). Interest on the loan facility accrued at a variable rate equal to JIBAR plus 2% and was payable on settlement of the loan amount. Interest accrued and capitalized during the year, up to settlement date, amounted to US$2.2 million (2009: US$3.3 million). | |||
| Following the settlement of the loan facility Harmony is no longer required to consolidate AVRD as part of the group. | |||
| (c) | In July 2007, Morobe Consolidated Goldfields (MCG) entered into a finance lease agreement with Westpac Bank for the purchase of mining fleet to be used on the Hidden Valley project. | ||

| Interest is charged at US LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. Interest is accrued monthly and lease installments are repayable quarterly terminating June 30, 2013. The mining fleet financed is used as security for these loans. | |||

The facility was utilized to fund the acquisition of the Pamodzi FS assets (refer note 16) as well as the groups major capital projects and working capital requirements. Interest accrues on a day to day basis over the term of the loan at a variable interest rate, equal to 3 month JIBAR plus 3.5%. Interest is repayable quarterly. | ||
| The term facility is repayable bi-annually in equal installments of R90 million (US$11.8 million) over five years. The revolving credit facility is repayable after three years. The term facility is fully drawn and R300 million (US$40.5 million) was drawn on the revolving credit facility. |

| 32 | Retirement benefit obligations |
| (a) | Pension and provident funds: The group contributes to several pension and provident funds governed by the Pension Funds Act, 1956 for the employees of its South African subsidiaries. The pension funds are multi-employer industry plans. The groups liability is limited to its annually determined contributions. | ||
| The provident funds are funded on the money accumulative basis with the members and employers contributions having been fixed in the constitution of the funds. | |||
| The Australian group companies make contributions to each employees Superannuation (pension) funds in accordance with the Superannuation Guarantee Scheme (SGS). The SGS is a Federal Government initiative enforced by law which compels employers to make regular payments to regulated funds providing for each employee on their retirement. The SGS were set at a minimum of 9% of gross salary and wages for the 2010 financial year (2009: 9%). The fund is a defined contribution plan. | |||
| Substantially all the groups employees are covered by the above mentioned retirement benefit plans. Funds contributed by the group for the 2010 financial year amounted to US$55.2 million (2009: US$39.8 million). |
F-63
| (b) | Post-retirement benefits other than pensions : Most of the supervisory and managerial workers in South Africa participate in the Minemed medical scheme, as well as other medical schemes. The group contributes to these schemes on behalf of current employees and retired employees who retired prior to December 31, 1996 (Minemed scheme). The annual contributions for these retired employees are fixed. The groups contributions to these schemes on behalf of current employees amounted to US$13.9 million for 2010 and US$8.6 million for 2009. | ||
| Harmony inherited a post-retirement medical benefit obligation, which existed at the time of the Freegold acquisition in 2002. The groups obligation in this regard is to pay a subsidy of 2% for every completed year of employment up to a maximum of 50% of total medical aid contributions, commencing on date of retirement. Should the employee die, either in service or after retirement, this benefit will transfer to his/her dependents. The medical aid tariffs are based on the Minemed medical scheme options. Except for the pre-mentioned employees, Harmony has no other post-retirement obligation for the other group employees. | |||
| Assumptions used to determine this liability include, a discount rate of 10.3%, a mortality rate according to the SA 1956/62 mortality table and a medical inflation rate of 8.1%. It is also assumed that all members will retire at the age of 60 and will remain on the current benefit option. | |||
| The liability is based on an actuarial valuation conducted during the financial year ended June 30, 2010, using the projected unit credit method. The next actuarial valuation will be performed on June 30, 2011. |

| During fiscal 2010, US$5 million (2009: US$2 million; 2008: US$0.7 million) was included in the payroll cost for termination costs. This excludes the cost for voluntary retrenchment process (refer to note 5). |

| Directors remuneration | ||
| During fiscal 2010, the directors received remuneration of US$1.8 million, comprising of US$1.3 million for salaries, US$0.03 million for retirement contributions and US$0.31 million for bonuses. The non-executive directors received US$0.6 million in directors fees. The aggregate of remuneration received by senior management was US$3.2 million. | ||
| During fiscal 2009, the directors received remuneration of US$1.1 million, comprising of US$0.74 million for salaries, US$0.03 million for retirement contributions and US$0.33 million for bonuses.

| 34 | Share option scheme | |
| The group currently has the 2001, 2003 schemes and the 2006 share plan that are active. The objective of these schemes is to recognise the contributions of senior staff to the groups financial position and performance and to retain key employees. | ||
| The options granted under the 2001 and 2003 schemes | ||
| A fifth of the options granted under the 2001 and 2003 schemes are exercisable annually from the grant date with an expiry date of 10 years from the grant date. The offer price of these options equaled the closing market price of the underlying shares on the trading date immediately preceding the granting of the options. | ||
| On resignation and retirement, share options which have not yet vested will lapse and share options which have vested may be taken up at the employees election before the last day of service. Payment of shares forfeited will therefore not be required. On death, all options vest immediately and the deceased estate has a period of twelve months to exercise these options. | ||
| Following the introduction of the 2006 share plan, no further options are expected to be allocated under these two schemes. |

| * | The volatility is measured as an annualised standard deviation of historical share price returns, using an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) model, with a lambda of 0.99. The volatility is calculated on the grant date, and takes into account the previous three years of historical data. |

| Share based costs are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant as defined in IFRS 2. The grant date is the date of which the entity and counterparty have a shared understanding of the terms and conditions of the share-based payment arrangement. The cost is expensed over the vesting period, based on the groups estimate of the options that are expected to eventually vest, within the rules of IFRS2. | ||

These guarantees will be cancelled once Rand Uranium puts its own guarantees in place. US$14.6 million has been pledged as collateral for environmental guarantees in favour of certain financial institutions. Refer to note 18. |
F-72
| Contingent liability | ||
| (a) | Class action: On April 18, 2008, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited was made aware that it has been named or may be named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York on behalf of certain purchasers and sellers of Harmonys American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and options with regard to certain of its business practices. Harmony has retained legal counsel. | |
| During January 2009, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint with the United States District Court (Court). Subsequently, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss all claims asserted in the Class Action Case. On March 19, 2010 the Court denied the Companys application for dismissal and subsequently the Company filed a Motion for Reconsideration in which it requested the Court to reconsider its judgement. This matter was heard on April 27, 2010 and the Companys request for reconsideration of judgement was denied. The Company is defending the matter and the legal process is taking its course. It is currently not possible to estimate if there will be a financial effect, or what that effect might be. | ||
| (b) | The group may have a potential exposure to rehabilitate groundwater and radiation that may exist where the group has and/or continues to operate. The group has initiated analytical assessments to identify, quantify and mitigate impacts if and when (or as and where) they arise. Numerous scientific, technical and legal studies are underway to assist in determining the magnitude of the contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions. The group has instituted processes to reduce future potential seepage and it has been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) by the existing environment will contribute to improvement in some instance. The ultimate outcome of the matter cannot presently be determined and no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the financial statements. Should the Group determine that any part of these contingencies require them being recorded and accounted for as liabilities, i.e. where they become quantifiable and probable, it could have a material impact on the financial status of the Group. | |
| (c) | Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations, any proposed solution for potential flooding and potential rdecant risk posed by deep groundwater needs to be a combined one, supported by all the mines located in these goldfields. As a result, the Department of Mineral Resource and affected mining companies are involved in the development of a Regional Mine Closure Strategy. In view of the limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a liability, no estimate can be made for the obligation. | |
| (d) | On December 1, 2008, the group issued 3 364 675 to Rio Tinto for the purchase of Rio Tintos rights to the royalty agreement entered into prior ro the groups acquisition of the Wafi deposits in PNG. The shares were valued at US$23 million on the transaction date. An additional US$10 million in cash will be payable when the decision to mine is made. Of this amount, Harmony is responsible for paying the first US$6 million, with the balance of US$4 million being borne equally by the joint venture partners. | |
| (e) | In terms of the sale agreements entered into with Rand Uranium (refer note 14), Harmony retained financial exposure relating to environmental disturbances and degradation caused by the group before the effective date, in excess of US$10 million of potential claims. Rand Uranium is therefore liable of all claims up to US$10 million and retains legal liability. The likelihood of potential claims cannot be determined presently and no provision for any liability has been made in the financial statements. | |
| 37 | Subsequent events | |
| Sale of Mount Magnet | ||
| On July 20, 2010, the group concluded an agreement with Ramelius Resources Limited to sell its 100% share in Mount Magnet Gold NL (Mount Magnet) for a total consideration of US$35 million. The group recognised a profit of US$18.4 million. Refer to note 14 in this regard. |
F-73
| Dividends | ||
| On August 13, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a final dividend for the 2010 financial year of 50 SA cents per share. The total dividend amounts to US$29.3 million. As this dividend was declared after the reporting date, it has not been reflected in the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2010. The dividend was paid on September 20, 2010. | ||
| Merriespruit South region and Freegold option | ||
| On September 3, 2010, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) concluded two transactions with Witwatersrand Consolidated Gold Resources Limited ( Wits Gold ), in which Wits Gold will obtain a prospecting right over Harmonys Merriespruit South area and the option held by ARMGold/Harmony Freegold Joint Venture Company (Proprietary) Limited (Freegold), a wholly owned subsidiary of Harmony. The option was to acquire a beneficial interest of up to 40% in any future mines established by Wits Gold on certain properties in the Southern Free State (Freegold option), which will be cancelled. Harmony will abandon a portion of its mining right in respect of the Merriespruit South area to enable Wits Gold to include this area in its prospecting right, which is located immediately south of the Merriespruit South area. | ||
| The total consideration was US$47 million, (US$9 million for the prospecting area and US$38 million for the cancellation of the option agreement), which will be settled in cash or in a combination of cash and shares in Wits Gold, when all remaining conditions precedent to the transaction have been fulfilled. | ||
| Evander 6 and Twistdraai | ||
| On September 10, 2010, Harmony concluded a sale of assets agreement with Taung Gold Limited ( Taung ), in which Taung acquired the Evander 6 shaft, the related infrastruture and surface right permits as well as a mining right over the Evander 6 and Twistdraai areas. The total purchase consideration is US$29 million, which will be settled in cash when all remaining conditions precedent to the transaction have been fulfilled. | ||
| Closure of Merriespruit 1 | ||
| On October 4, 2010, the decision was made to finally close Merriespruit 1 shaft, under the Section 189 (of the Labour Relations Act) already in place. The closure was postponed in terms of an agreement reached with organized labour to keep the shaft open while it remained profitable. | ||
| 38 | Segment report | |
| The group has only one product, being gold. In order to determine operating and reportable segments, management reviewed various factors, including geographical location as well as managerial structure. It was determined that an operating segment consists of a shaft or a group of shafts managed by a single general manager and management team. | ||
| After applying the quantitative thresholds from IFRS 8, the reportable segments were determined as: | ||
| Bambanani, Doornkop, Evander, Joel, Kusasalethu, Masimong, Phakisa, Target, Tshepong, Virginia, Papua New Guinea and Mount Magnet (classified as held for sale and discontinued operation). In 2008 and 2009 the Cooke operations were also classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. All other operating segments have been grouped together under All other surface operations , under their classification as either continuing or discontinued. | ||
| When assessing profitability, the chief operating decision maker ( CODM ) considers the revenue and production costs of each segment. The net of these amounts is the operating profit or loss. Therefore, operating profit has been disclosed in the segment report as the measure of profit or loss. | ||
| The CODM does not consider depreciation or impairment and therefore these amounts have not been disclosed in the segment report, but does consider capital expenditure which has been disclosed. | ||
| Segment assets consist of mining assets included under property, plant and equipment which can be attributed to the shaft or group of shafts. Current and non-current group assets that are not allocated at a shaft level, form part of the reconciliation to total assets. | ||
| A reconciliation of the segment totals to the group financial statements has been included in note 39. |
