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:
