Restated Results for the year ended 30 June 2004

African Rainbow Minerals Limited (Formerly Anglovaal Mining Limited ('Avmin')) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1933/004580/06) JSE Share code: ARI LSE Share code: AGM ISIN: ZAE000054045 ('ARM' or the 'Company') Restated results for the year ended 30 June 2004 Shareholders are referred to the reviewed results of ARM for the year ended 30 June 2004 published on the Stock Exchange News Service ('SENS') on 17 August 2004. Shareholders are advised that, for the reasons set out below, the results of ARM for the year ended 30 June 2004 and the comparative 2003 results have been restated. Revised preliminary results to June 2004. During the finalisation of ARM's financial results for the year ended 30 June 2004 a number of complex accounting issues flowing from the African Rainbow Minerals & Exploration Investments (Proprietary)Limited / Avmin /Avgold Limited ('Avgold') /Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ('Harmony') transaction were considered. These issues included (i) confirmation of the prior treatment of Avgold as a subsidiary, (ii) accounting for Harmony as an associate and (iii) the correct application of business combination accounting for all the linked transactions. Confirmation of the approach to accounting for Harmony as an associate company results in the accounting deferral of a portion of the profit attributable to the sale of Avgold by ARM to Harmony, as it is considered to be unrealised. The preliminary results for the year to 30 June 2004, published on 17 August 2004, have been revised to reflect this deferral as an adjustment to the exceptional profit on the sale with a respective reduction in the carrying value of the investment in Harmony. Owing to the deconsolidation of Avgold with effect from 1 May 2003 individual line items in the 2004 income statement have been restated, as shown below. There is no change to the previously reported headline earnings of R47 million. The impact on the published preliminary June 2004 annual results is: R'm Before Restated Basic Earnings 1 360 1 108 Headline earnings 47 47 EPS (cps) 1 062 865 HEPS (cps) 37 37 Total assets 11 725 11 460 Shareholders interest in capital and 6 880 6 628 reserves (attributable net assets) Restated comparative figures for the year ended 30 June 2003 In April 2003 Avmin sold down a portion of its investment in Avgold from 55.9 percent to 42.2 percent. Avgold's results continued to be consolidated after that date as eight of the ten directors on the Avgold board were appointed by Avmin and this situation remained after the dilution in interest. International Accounting Standard IAS 27 paragraph 13(d) which refers inter- alia to the 'power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors' was interpreted by the board to mean that the group still controlled Avgold. During the current year there was new thinking and interpretation, internationally, on the issue of ' effective control ', and it was concluded that the power to appoint the majority of directors must be by legal or contractual right and that effective control is not the type of control that the statement intended. Therefore, although Avmin did actually have control of the Avgold board, this does not constitute control as intended by IAS 27. This has the result that Avgold is considered to be an associated company that is equity accounted and not a subsidiary to be consolidated. This revised accounting treatment has been applied in the 2004 annual financial statements and as a result, the 30 June 2003 comparative financial statements and notes thereto for the ARM Group have been restated to equity account the results of Avgold as an associate from 1 May 2003. Previously reported headline and basic earnings and attributable net asset value for June 2003 are unchanged. The summarised impacts on the June 2003 annual financial statements are: R'm Before Restated Basic Earnings -191 -191 Headline earnings 197 197 EPS (cps) -170 -170 HEPS (cps) 176 176 Total assets 7 161 5 468 Shareholders interest in capital and 2 511 2 511 reserves (attributable net assets) The restated balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement follows: BALANCE SHEET - at 30 June 2004 Group Group 2004 2003 Rm Rm ASSETS Non-current assets Tangible assets 4 674 2 278 Intangible assets 5 6 Deferred tax assets 7 12 Environmental rehabilitation trust funds 29 22 Investment in associates 4 338 925 Other Investments 3 212 9 056 3 455 Current assets Inventories 914 849 Trade and other receivables 1 162 900 Cash and cash equivalents 328 264 2 404 2 013 Total assets 11 460 5 468 EQUITY AND LIABILITIES Capital and reserves Ordinary share capital 10 6 Share premium 3 495 79 Other reserves ( 193) 218 Retained earnings 3 316 2 208 Shareholders interest in capital and 6 628 2 511 reserves Minority interest 1 326 1 141 Total shareholders' interest 7 954 3 652 Non-current liabilities Long-term borrowings 857 - Deferred tax liabilities 853 519 Long-term provisions 151 111 1 861 630 Current liabilities Trade and other payables 567 439 Provisions 41 32 Taxation 63 28 Overdrafts and short-term borrowings 974 687 1 645 1 186 Total equity and liabilities 11 460 5 468 Income statement - for the year ended 30 June 2004 Group Group Group 2004 2003 Rm Rm Revenue 3 885 4 728 Cost of sales (3 064) (3 733) Gross profit 821 995 Other operating income 73 358 Other operating expenses (343) (698) Retrenchment costs (23) (35) Profit from operations 528 620 Income from investments 26 80 Finance costs (80) (169) Loss from associate (120) (42) Profit before taxation and exceptional 354 489 items Exceptional items 1 148 (395) - Profit / (loss) on disposal of 1 057 (649) discontinued operations -Other exceptional items 91 254 Profit / (loss) before taxation 1,502 94 Taxation (291) (147) Profit / (loss) after taxation 1 211 (53) Minority interest (103) (138) Basic earnings / (loss) 1 108 (191) Statement of Share Foreign Revaluation Other * Retained Total changes in Capital currency of land and earnings equity and translation buildings (revised) Premium For the year Rm Rm Rm Rm Rm Rm ended 30 June 2004 Group Balance 68 (42) 6 146 2 401 2 579 at 30 June 2002 Loss - - - - (191) (191) Revaluation - - - 39 - 39 of listed investments Translation - 24 - - - 24 of foreign subsidiary Reversal of - - - 26 - 26 derivitive instruments Reasliation - 18 - - - 18 of reserve on disposal of Chambsihi Share options 17 - - - - 17 exercised Transfer to - 2 (2) - insurance contingency reserve Other - - - (1) - (1) Balance at 30 85 - 6 212 2 208 2 511 June 2003 Basic - - - - 1 108 1 108 earnings Investment - - - (133) - (133) sold Revaluation - - - (45) - (45) of listed investments Share options 54 - - - - 54 exercised Share's 3 366 - -- - - 3 366 issued for acquisitions Share of - - - (235) - (235) associate's other reserves Other - - - 2 - 2 Balance at 30 3 505 - 6 (199) 3 316 6 628 June 2004 Cash flow statement (revised) for the year ended 30 June 2004 Group Group 2004 2003 Rm Rm CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Cash receipts from customers 3 838 4 777 Cash paid to suppliers and employees (3 235) (3 967) Cash generated from operations 603 810 Interest received 24 76 Interest paid (70) (169) Dividends received 1 3 Dividends paid to minorities (13) (21) Taxation paid (70) (101) Net cash inflow from operating 475 598 activities CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Additions to fixed assets to maintain (472) (414) operations Additions to fixed assets to expand (101) (110) operations Net cash effects of acquisitions (32) - Proceeds on disposal of fixed assets 7 8 Proceeds on disposal of investments 167 - Purchase of remaining portion in Nkomati (260) - Net cash effect on sale of Chambishi - ( 67) Net cash effect on sale of Avgold - 426 Net cash outflow from investing (691) (157) activities CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES Proceed on exercise of share options 54 17 Funding received from minority 42 11 shareholders Long-term borrowings raised 280 - Long-term borrowings repaid (127) (745) Increase / (decrease) in short-term 31 (239) borrowings Net cash inflow / (outflow) from 280 (956) financing activities Net increase / (decrease) in cash and 64 (515) cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents at beginning 264 779 of year Cash and cash equivalents at end of year 328 264 Cash generated from operations per share 471 723 (cents) Johannesburg 14 December 2004 Sponsor Deutsche Securities (SA) (Proprietary) Limited
