CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REVIEW – DECEMBER 2005
“Despite the low R/kg gold price envi ronment that we have had to contend with during the last two
ye a rs and the major restructuring exe rcise we went through, Harmony has stuck to its strategy to
invest in our growth projects .I believe the company is now well positioned to pass the benefits fro m
the improved gold price and the increased pro fi t ability through to our shareholders ”

December 2005 climbed to 404 compared to 379 in September 2005, a regression of 6%. A factor that
contributed to this was the reskilling and redeployment of some labour into new positions during the
restructuring process and the fact that December is typically influenced by the Christmas break.

Eleven employees lost their lives in ten separate incidents during the past quarter at our South African
operations. Harmony Australia had no fatalities or serious incidents during the period under review. Safety
remains a non-negotiable for Harmony and the company’s drive towards zero fatalities remains a major area
of focus.
PAST QUARTER UNDER REVIEW
Harmony’s cash operating profit increased by R270,6 million from R118,8 million in September 2005 to
R389,4 million in the December period. Production increased by 6% quarter on quarter to 653 171 oz and
cash operating costs decreased by 3% to R83 154/kg. In US$ terms, cash costs dropped by 3% to US$396/oz.
The price received increased by 11% from 91 888/kg to R102 333/kg in December, due to an increase in the
US$/oz price.

FOCUS ON OUR GROWTH PROJECTS REMAINS
Despite the harsh financial and operating conditions encountered in the past year the company has remained
focused on rebuilding its growth strategy.Accordingly expenditure on all of the local and international growth
projects continued as planned. During the past quarter a total of R449 million was spent on capital. Of this
R192 million was spent on project capital. Good progress continues to be made at our Phakisa, Masimong,
Tshepong, Elandsrand New Mine and Doornkop South Reef projects locally. With our Hidden Valley project in
PNG, the construction road has now reached the halfway mark. Good progress has also been made with the
updating of the feasibility study.

Our focus to grow the company with respect to ounces and quality continues and has led to a unique pipeline
of projects in South Africa. The construction of our Hidden Valley Mine in PNG is well on track and we believe
that it will demonstrate to our shareholders our ability to also build mines internationally.

Cash position – investing in our future
During the past quarter our cash balance has improved from R971 million to R2,914 million. The break down
shows an operating contribution of R389,4 million being offset by R910,3 million spent on capex, corporate
overheads and exploration, financing charges and working capital movements.
The proceeds on the disposal of our remaining investments in Gold Fields and Sangold have contributed
a further R2,461 million to our cash balance.

Capital project progress
The detail of the South African brownfields growth projects are discussed under the various shaft sections.
As the projects in PNG are greenfields in nature and do not deliver production ounces as yet, they are
discussed under this section.
Hidden Valley project
The feasibility update has been progressing well and it is expected that we will be able to submit the final
documented study update to the board by April 2006. This will include sign-off on all technical aspects of the
study, as well as a cash flow model that will reflect the updated economics of the project.
Construction of the access road is progressing well with all road building equipment delivered to site.
Pioneering has reached the 18.5km mark of the 40km road, with some difficult terrain ahead which will slow
down the good progress made to date. It is expected that the pioneering crew will reach the proposed mine
camp site by the end of May with road completion planned towards June 2006.
The Hidden Valley Environmental Management plan (“EMP”) was completed and submitted to the
Department of Environment and Conservation on 22 November 2005. This EMP has to be approved by the
department before any site works can start. The department has three months to respond and question
aspects of the plan after submission, which fits in with the proposed project construction timeline.
Cut-off and pit optimisation have resulted in significant project improvements, albeit at marginally lower
recovery grades.
– Total recoverable ounces increased from 1.9M oz to 2.6M oz (which led to an increase in Life of Mine from
6.5 years to 9.5 years)
– Average head grade decreased to 2.2 g/t
– Strip ratio improved from 13:1 to 9:1
– Average annual bulk cubic metres (bcm) mined will be reduced from 19M bcm to 12M bcm
With the new design mill throughput has been planned to increase from 3.5 Mtpa to 4.2 Mtpa:
– Average gold produced per annum is planned at approximately 285 000 oz
– Total average silver produced per annum is planned at 3,9M oz which equates to 67 000 gold equivalent
ounces
– The average cost per ounce will run at approximately US$220/oz, net of silver credits
Re-engineered surface designs have led to:
– The tailings storage facility capacity being improved from 32 Mt to 43 Mt
– The waste dump’s design now complying with acid rock drainage and other environmental commitments
– The establishment of a low grade stockpile with a capacity of 7 Mt (0.8g/t – 1.3 g/t)
– Cost and schedule improvements in the Pihema creek diversion
– Site bulk earthworks being done in-house, costed and scheduled more accurately

WAFI - GOLPU
Highlights for the quarter
–  Drilling progressed well at Golpu. Geotechnical data was collected and visible copper mineralisation is
present outside of the existing model at depth
–  Notice of preparatory work and letter of intent have been submitted to the Department of Environment
and Conservation
–  Environmental studies have commenced, with stream gauging stations installed and water quality
monitoring in progress
–  Metallurgical test work indicates that 40% oxidation of sulphides gives 90% cyanidation gold recovery in
Wafi Link Zone
–  Wafi project has been well defined in a study concept report, which is to be used as the key reference for
all parties involved with the study in the future
Work to be completed in the next quarter and beyond
Work to be completed will include:
–  Continuation of drilling at Golpu using two drill rigs. Geotechnical data collection and the award of Golpu
mining study work will also be required
–  Appointment of engineering consultant, and commencement of metallurgical test work and processing
plant design
–  Continuation of environmental baseline monitoring
–  Completion of a new model for Wafi non-refractory gold and for the Wafi Link Zone is to be undertaken
in-house
–  Commencement of scoping studies for mining and processing of the Link Zone and non-refractory gold ore
Wafi-Golpu pre-feasibility study
The December quarter has seen significant progress being made in building up the data base that is necessary
for completion of the feasibility study. Continuation of the data gathering process and test work will be the
main focus of the study programme for the next two quarters. Most technical mining studies have been
planned to be completed during the second half of 2006.
Diamond drilling at Golpu progressed well, with two 800m holes completed, and a planned 450m hole drilled
to 220m at the end of the quarter. Drill core collected to date has provided valuable geotechnical data and
drill holes have also been used to collect hydrological data. Visual inspection of the core indicates that the
copper porphyry extends beyond current model boundaries at depth. However assays from the first hole
drilled are not expected until late in the March quarter.
Metallurgical test work of Wafi Link Zone ore continued throughout the month. The current testing
programme is concentrating on establishing the suitability of bio-leaching and the programme is delivering
encouraging results. Golpu Copper/Gold metallurgical test work is due to commence late in the March
quarter, once sufficient drill core is available to blend suitable composite samples which represent the
different ore zones present in the deposit. Road works on the Timini to Wafi Road were well advanced at the
end of the quarter.

R/kg terms was reduced by 3% bringing the cost of production to R74 725/kg. Cost control in general was
not satisfactory.The stronger gold price contributed to operating profit increasing by 106% to R263.7 million.

Target Mine
During the quarter the mine improved its flexibility by opening up more attacking points in the orebody.
Machine availability however continued to fall and it was decided that the maintenance contract would be
taken over by Harmony.
Volume levels therefore remained fairly constant with 166 000 tons compared to 168 000 tons the previous
quarter.
With the improved flexibility and maintenance contract now being done in-house, it is expected that
the coming quarter should see improved volumes at lower unit costs for Target which would lead to better
profit levels.
Tshepong Mine
The shaft reached the safety milestone of 500 000 fatality free shifts on 5 October 2005.
After the CONOPS agreements were signed off by the company and the respective unions and associations,
Tshepong succeeded in redeploying all its CONOPS labour by mid-November. The efficient re-introduction
of CONOPS by the team contributed to an improvement of 11% in volumes. The recovery grade also
improved by 7% to 6.85 g/t compared to the 6.42 g/t of the previous quarter, which led to gold production
improving by 19% from 2 380 kg to 2 825 kg.
Total operating costs decreased from R69 225/kg to R65 272/kg.
TSHEPONG DECLINE PROJECT REVIEW
Access development
Summary
The project team managed to develop 608m in this quarter. This brings the total development now to
4 726m out of a total of 6 281m, which is 75% of total development required.
Chair lift decline
72% of the 900m has been completed. Delays occurred during the quarter as a result of the blasting of
the 71 travelling way and the sliping of the chair lift landing at 71 level where poor ground conditions
were encountered. Progress in this area has been stopped as a result of the ground conditions and work could
only continue when the secondary support had been completed. This was done by the second week of
January 2006 and normal development has commenced again.
Material decline
A total of 809m of the 1 050m has been completed. New support solutions and blasting techniques that have
been implemented resulted in better ground conditions and improved face advances.
69 level access development
On 69 level 1 207m of the 1 830m have been completed. The rehabilitation of the area where a fall of ground
of 22.5m took place delayed development of the South haulage. A decision was therefore taken to blast a
loop around the affected area, as further delays were also expected with the installation of arches and foam

support which was required to make this area safe. Ground conditions dictated that the Haulage South be
moved 30m to the west, thus increasing access development by 120m or two months. This change in design
will, however, reduce risk significantly in the future.
69 Level reef and inclined waste development
95 Raise Line – 194m of the estimated 440m has been completed (44%).
96 Raise Line – 63m of the estimated 440m has been completed (14%).
71 Level access development
Development has also started on 71 Level during the quarter with 30m having been completed so far.
Project engineering
Overall project engineering was 59% completed during the quarter.
Although the project will be completed by February 2008, production should already commence during
December 2007.

Project
Masimong Mine
The mine achieved 1 000 000 fatality free shifts during January 2006.
With the phasing in of CONOPS, volumes increased by 12% to 232 000 tons. Grade however dropped by
6% to 4.7 g/t, which impacted negatively on the R/kg cost that went up to R96 573/kg. The Quality Mining
Audit Team has been deployed on the mine to assist with getting the recovered grade back to planned levels
which is around 5.5 g/t. The re-introduction of CONOPS will continue during the quarter and it is envisaged
that it should be completed by March 2006. Masimong made a profit of R5.9 million for the quarter.

Masimong expansion project
For the quarter, capital expenditure amounted to R5.5 million and a total of 1 284m capital development was
achieved. This was an improvement in excess of 200m on the previous quarter’s achievement. The seasonal
change to summer has put environmental conditions under the spotlight and a consultant has been brought
in to look at current designs and optimise the available ventilation. A major water fissure was intersected on
1810 level and sealing operations have already started. It is anticipated that this process should take
approximately four weeks to complete.

Evander Region
It was encouraging to see that Evander 2 and 5 shaft turned from the previous loss-making position
(R12 million) to a profit of R12 million during this quarter. This was done on the back of improved
volumes (+11%), grade (+25%) and real costs reduced by 2%. Volumes on 7 and 8 shafts improved by 8%
and 7%, respectively. Total tons in the region for the quarter therefore went up from 374 000 tons to
402 000 tons, an improvement of 7.4%.
Recovery grades also improved by 1% which resulted in the gold production going up by 9% to 2 524kg.
As stated in the previous reports it must be noted that 7 shaft has been mining in a very high grade pay shoot
area and that it was not sustainable. Mining in this pay shoot has now been completed and subsequent grades
will therefore be lower until such time that development has reached the next payshoot area.
Unit costs in R/kg terms came down by 3% to R72 021 and profit went up by 89% to R73.8 million.
Randfontein (Cooke Section)
Volumes were up by 5% from 345 000 tons to 362 000 tons. Recovery grades went up by 8% from 5.4g/t to
5.8 g/t which increased gold production by 13%, to 2 113kg. Cost in real terms came down from
R160.6 million to R154.7 million, a reduction of 4%. Unit costs came down by 15% from R85 767 to R73 207,
which increased profit by R48.4 million from R11.3 million in the previous quarter to R59.7 million in the
December quarter, demonstrating the high gearing that these operations have.

With the restructuring completed, major focus was placed on improving quality on these shafts. Volumes
improved by some 3%, but recovery grades had an improvement of more than 10%. This led to gold
production being up by 14% to 6 113 kg. Although real cost went up by 4%, unit cost in R/kg terms came
down by 10% to R90 074, giving our leveraged operations a profit margin of 14% taking the average gold
price received of R102 333. As a result of the improved volumes, grades and revenue received, a profit of
R76.0 million was realised compared to a loss of R45.8 million in the previous quarter.
The star performer in this area has been Bambanani which returned a profit of R28.3 million after making a
loss of R31.6 million in the previous quarter. Two other shafts that have performed significantly better for the
quarter were Unisel, from break-even in the September quarter to a profit of R23.4 million and Harmony 2,
from a loss of R5.0 million in the previous quarter to a profit of R17.2 million.

Kalgold
As reported during the previous quarter, an unstable ground condition had been developing on the eastern
wall of the D Zone pit, which had to be addressed during the December quarter. Work therefore was stopped
in the D Zone and mining only continued in the lower grade A Zone. Although production levels continued to
improve during the quarter by another 4% to 468 000 tons, recovery grades were down by 27%. It must be

noted that this is a temporary drop in grade and that work will be completed during the March 2006 quarter
after which mining operations will return to the D Zone again. Despite the significant drop in grade, unit costs
in Rand per kilogram terms were only up by 19% due to good cost control and improved volumes. Rand per
ton cost came in at R129/t which was 14% lower than the September quarter. Kalgold profit for the quarter
decreased to R8.5 million (September 2005 – R15 million).

Good progress continues to be made on the delivery of our growth projects. Volumes from the operating
mines however decreased by 12.1% to 1 756 kg (September 2005 – 1 995 kg) and operating costs increased
by 14% to R104 188/kg. The main impact here was made by Elandsrand mine.
ELANDSRAND NEW MINE PROJECT
Infrastructure
During the quarter the sinking and equipping of the No. 2 Service shaft progressed to within 13m of 102 level.
The civil construction of 115 level pump station was completed during the quarter, which allowed the
mechanical and electrical installation to begin. The raise boring of the 92 level turbine dam centre hole was
completed during the quarter and this now allows the sliping of the dam to start. The additional ore pass
(between 100 level and the existing ore pass system) has progressed well during the quarter. It is envisaged
that the linking between the rock pass systems of the old mine and the new mine will take place during the
next quarter. The rock loading system at 115 level has also been completely commissioned and has been
operational for the December quarter. The complete loading system on 115 level and shaft bottom spillage
arrangement has been completed and will be handed over to the mine during January 2006.
Access development
The progress on 109 level access development has been excellent during the quarter. An average advance of
90m per month has been achieved, on both the haulage and the return airway. The progress on 113 level has
been hindered by the amount of methane that has been intersected on a number of occasions from diamond
drilling holes. After discontinuing development on 113 level on 23 June 2005 due to a methane intersection,
the end was started again on 9 December 2005 after it had been declared safe to continue with operations.

Doornkop South Reef capital project
Station development continued on 202, 207 and 212 levels, with preparations underway to start-up station
work on 205 level as well.Access development continued on 192 level and 197 level. Good progress was made
on three separate reef raises on 192 level and the travelling way position to the first raise has also been
reached on 197 level.
Shaft-sinking operations went well during the quarter and 80m have been sunk, lined and equipped since
September, from below 132 level. The rate of sinking has been increasing steadily by a consistent 13,5m per
week being achieved in November.
Sliping of the shaft to final diameter from 197 level is presently underway. This operation has progressed
100m from 197 level past 205 level where the station was cut and is now at the 207 level position where
station-cutting operations are almost completed. Shaft-sinking resumed from below 207 level to 212 level
early in January 2006. It is planned that the portion of shaft between 197m to 40m below 212 level will be
sliped to final diameter by the time the sinking operation above reached 192 level. This should take place
during May 2006.
The updated schedule provides for the main shaft to be partially commissioned (excluding the additional rock
winder) by the end of 2006. Production will ramp-up over the next three years to 135 000 t/m of ore.

The Australian operations generated an operating profit of A$8.5 million in the December quarter compared
to A$6.0 million in the previous quarter. Given that the production profile remained the same, this
improvement was a direct result of the 10% improvement in the gold price received per ounce in Australia
during the quarter. Delays in ramping up production at the St George underground at our Mt Magnet
operations, and lower production at Mt Marion underground at our South Kal Mines contributed to the
operation not achieving targeted production for the quarter. Capital expenditure decreased significantly from
A$12.7 million in the previous quarter to A$7.7 million in the current quarter, mainly as a result of a reduction
in expenditure on the St George underground mine, which has now been commissioned, as well as the
completion of the tailings dam lift at the Mt Magnet operations.
During the quarter 10 000 ounces of calls were closed out. These out of the money hedge positions were
inherited with the acquisition of Hill 50 and have an average strike price of A$515. The negative mark to
market valuation of the outstanding hedge commitments at quarter end amounted to A$104 million, based
on an A$ spot price of A$703/oz.
Mount Magnet
Mt Magnet operations produced 38 394 ounces of gold in the December quarter from the milling of
4 4 3 2 9 0 tonnes of ore , c o m p a red to the production of 34 463 ounces of gold and the milling
of 422 843 tonnes of ore in the September quarter. This resulted in a cash operating profit of A$5.4 million
for the site in the current quarter compared to A$4.5 million in the previous quarter.
Underground production increased from 18 940 ounces in the previous quarter to 21 647 ounces in the
current quarter, mainly as a result of additional ounces being produced by St George. 104 108 underground
tonnes were milled at 6.47 g/t in the quarter compared to 77 619 underground tonnes milled at 7.59 g/t in
the previous quarter. Full production at the St George underground was delayed until the middle of December
due to additional orebody definition work resulting in increased resource ounces for the first stoping level,
requirements for additional ground support in the crown pillar and delays in ventilation establishment. All of
these resulted in less ounces produced than forecast for the period. This problem has however been resolved
and it is expected that this will result in increased development and production rates from St George in the
March quarter. The drill programme of the Water Tank Hill lodes, which are accessible from the St George
underground is continuing, with 5 holes from a 12-hole phased programme completed with a number of
mineralised zones intersected at target positions. These results will be modelled and subjected to a feasibility
study in the March quarter. Depth extensions to the Northern lodes at St George which potentially could add
additional levels to the mine will also be subjected to a drill programme in the March quarter.
Open pit mining is continuing in the Cue region, with expected completion of operations in May, after which
open pit mining will resume around Mt Magnet. Production increased slightly in the current quarter to
16 747 ounces compared to 15 523 ounces in the previous quarter, however slips in the Rheingold pits
continued to impact on ounces produced during the quarter.
71 000 ounces has been added to the Indicated Mineral Resource category since the start of the regional
exploration drilling programme around the Mt Magnet and Cue regions in June 2005. 18 600 of these ounces
have been converted to open pit reserves and will be mined in the near future. This drill programme is
continuing, with a number of new targets which will be followed up in the March quarter. As part of the
process of adding production ounces to these operations various discussions were held with parties
controlling prospective tenements and projects within the Mt Magnet region. These discussions will be
pursued in the current quarter.

The conversion of the diesel power station to gas is set to be completed by early February, with a number of
gas generators already in operation. This conversion will reduce milling unit costs by 13% going forward.
South Kal Mines (“SKM”)
Mt Marion underground mine at our South Kal operations achieved two years’ LTI free production shifts
during the December quarter, which is an exceptional performance for an underground operation. The
operation produced 23 239 ounces of gold in the quarter compared to 26 540 ounces in the September
quarter from the milling of 337 566 tonnes of ore.
Ground stability problems due to increased stress levels within the lower stope access drives at Mt Marion
severely affected underground ore production in the quarter. Tonnage from underground was 103 430 tonnes
at 4.21 g/t compared to the previous quarter’s production of 130 145 tonnes at 3.99 g/t. It is expected that
these underground conditions will require increased ground support and drive rehabilitation activities going
forward, which will affect production. As planned decline development stopped during the quarter as the
economic depth limit has been reached, which will effectively put the mine in harvest mode and reduce
capital expenditure going forward.
Negotiations with the underground contract mining company which was initiated last quarter were
concluded during the quarter, with a new contract on the verge of being signed. The terms of the new
contract will result in an increase in underground mining costs going forward.
Jubilee plant has seen general improvements in reagent consumption as a result of the upgraded gravity
extraction unit which was installed in the previous quarter. Throughput rates however were reduced towards
the end of the quarter as a result of problems with the crushing circuit which resulted in unscheduled down
time. These problems have now been addressed.
Low grade stockpiled ore from various completed open pit mine areas is continuing to be trucked to the
Jubilee mill to provide blending options with the underground Mt Marion ore.
A process has been initiated which will investigate the feasibility of doing an additional cutback on the
HamptonBoulderJubilee (“HBJ”) pit. The pit which has been mined previously contains significant gold
resources which may be economical to mine in the current gold price environment. A recommendation on
whether to proceed with mining the pit or not will be made to the board in the June quarter.
Exploration work during the quarter at SKM focused on the Shirl prospect on Location 59. Reverse circulation
and diamond drilling was utilised to test the bedrock below shallow RAB/aircore intercepts, as reported in the
previous quarter and yielded some outstanding results:

The Main zone of mineralisation defined to date strikes northeast, dips to the northwest and is hosted in
differentiated gabbro. Continuity of mineralisation has been established over 250m of strike and to a vertical
depth of 140m below surface. Currently the Main zone is open along strike and at depth.
Drill intercepts have also highlighted potential for additional lodes sub-parallel with the Main zone and on
the western gabbro/ultramafic contact. However, infill drilling is required to increase confidence in the
continuity of these lodes.
A full scale resource/reserve definition drilling to scope out the size and extent of the deposit will proceed in
the March quarter, as statutory clearing permits have now been received.
The site showed a cash operating profit for the quarter of A$3.1 million compared to A$1.5 million in the
September quarter.
OTHER PROJECTS
Northern Territory Burnside Joint Venture (50%)
As reported in the previous quarter Northern gold NL has contracted to purchase Harmony’s 50% interest in
the Burnside Joint Venture for a series of staggered cash and share payments. The first instalment comprising
A$4 million cash, A$1 million bond replacement and A$5 million in the shares of Northern Gold’s Toronto-
listed parent company, GBS Gold International Inc, is due at the beginning of April 2006. The second
instalment is due in early October 2006 (A$5.0 million cash and A$4.4 million in GBS shares) and the final
instalment (A$5.35 million cash) is due in October 2007.
The pre-conditions to the Sale and Purchase Agreement have now all been satisfied, other than for Northern
Gold/GBS raising the necessary cash. GBS is planning to complete this raising in the North American capital
markets in early February 2006, with various technical and regulatory documents having already been filed
with the Canadian Regulatory Commissions. The Burnside JV continues to operate within budget, with recent
activities focused on care and maintenance activities for the Northern Territory wet season. Planning
activities will shortly turn to the handover of administration, accounting and tenement reporting activities
to Northern Gold/GBS.
As soon as all the conditions precedent is met we will account for the sale.

NOTES TO THE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
1.
Basis of accounting
The unaudited results for the quarter have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These consolidated quarterly statements are prepared
in accordance with IFRS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies are consistent with those
applied in the previous financial year, except for the adoption of the revised international accounting
standards forthcoming from the IAS improvements project and the changes which are described in
Notes 2 and 3.
2.  New accounting policies adopted
(a)  Share-based Payments (IFRS 2)
On 1 July 2005, the Company adopted the requirements of IFRS 2, Share-based Payments. In
accordance with the transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity-settled
payments after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005. The Company issues
equity-settled instruments to certain qualifying employees under an Employee Share Option
Scheme to purchase shares in the Company’s 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.
The total fair value of the options granted is recorded as deferred share-based compensation as a
separate component of shareholders’ equity with a corresponding amount recorded as share
premium. The deferred share-based compensation is expensed over the vesting period, based on the
Company’s estimate of the shares that are expected to eventually vest. The Company used the
binominal option pricing model in determining the fair value of the options granted.
The impact of this adjustment on the net profit/(loss) is an expense of R63 million for the December
2005 year to date (December 2004 year to date: R30 million) (December 2005 quarter: R30 million)
(September 2005 quarter: R33 million) (December 2004 quarter: R19 million).
(b)   Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (IFRIC 4)
On 1 July 2005, the Company applied the requirements of IFRIC 4, Determining whether an
arrangement contains a lease. The objective of the interpretation is to determine whether an
arrangement contains a lease that falls within the scope of IAS 17, Leases. The lease is then
accounted in accordance with IAS 17. The application of the interpretation had no impact on the
results of the quarter or any prior reporting period.
3 . Change in accounting policy
(a)   Capitalisation of mine development costs
Previously mine development costs were capitalised when the reef horizon was intersected.
Expenditure for all development that will give access to proven and probable ore reserves will now
be capitalised. Capitalised costs are amortised over the estimated life of the proven and probable
reserves to which the costs give access.
The impact of this adjustment on the net profit/(loss) is as follows:
–   A decrease in the cash operating costs of R297 million for the December 2005 year to date
(December 2004 year to date: R315 million) (December 2005 quarter: R161 million) (September
2005 quarter: R136 million) (December 2004 quarter: R156 million).
background image
48
–   Additional amortisation ch a rges of R146 million for the December 2005 year to date
( December 2004 year to date: R112 million) (December 2005 quarter: R75 million)
(September 2005 quarter: R71 million) (December 2004 quarter: R57 million).
–  Taxation effect of the capitalised development costs and additional amortisation charges of
R31 million for December 2005 year to date (December 2004 year to date: R38 million)
(December 2005 quarter: R18 million) (September 2005 quarter: R13 million) (December 2004
quarter: R19 million).

* The Delta of the hedge position indicated above, is the equivalent gold position that would have the same marked-
to-market sensitivity for a small change in the gold price. This is calculated using the Black-Scholes option formula
with the ruling market prices, interest rates and volatilities at 31 December 2005.
These contracts are classified as speculative and the marked-to-market movement is reflected in the
income statement.
The mark-to-market of these contracts was a negative R486 million (negative USD77 million) at
31 December 2005 (at 30 September 2005: negative R345 million or negative USD54 million). The values
at 31 December 2005 were based on a gold price of USD514 (AUD704) per ounce, exchange rates of
USD1/R6.33 and AUD1/USD0.73 and prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at that date. These
valuations were provided by independent risk and treasury management experts.
At 27 January 2006, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative R557 million
(negative USD91 million), based on a gold price of USD559 (AUD741) per ounce, exchange rates of
USD1/R6.11 and AUD1/USD0.75 and prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at that time.

These marked-to-market valuations are not predictive of the future value of the hedge position, nor of
the future impact on the revenue of the company. The valuation represents the cost of buying all hedge
contracts at the time of the valuation, at market prices and rates available at the time.
Harmony closed out 10,000 oz call option contracts during the quarter ended 31 December 2005 at a
cost of R3.3 million (USD500,000). During the quarter ended 30 September 2005, Harmony closed out
20,000 oz call option contracts and 8,000 oz forward contracts, at a cost of R4.3 million (USD680,000).
Interest rate swaps
The Group has interest rate swap agreements to convert R600 million of its R1,2 billion fixed rate bond to
variable rate debt. The interest rate swap runs over the term of the bond, interest is received at a fixed rate
of 13% and the Company pays floating rate based on JIBAR plus a spread ranging from 1.8% to 2.2%.
These transactions which mature in June 2006 are designated as fair value hedges. The marked-to-market
value of the transactions was a positive R11 million (USD2 million) at 31 December 2005, based on the
prevailing interest rates and volatilities at the time.
Currency contracts
Harmony inherited currency contracts with the acquisition of Avgold. These currency contracts matured on
31 December 2005 and was closed out accordingly.The contracts were classified as speculative and the mark-
to-market movement was reflected in the income statement.
The mark-to-market of these contracts was R NIL (USD NIL) at 31 December 2005 (30 September 2005:
negative R64 million or negative USD10 million). These values were based upon an exchange rate of
USD1/R6.35 at 30 September 2005 and prevailing market interest rates at the time. Independent risk and
treasury management experts provided these valuations.
