SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS<br />

Change in accounting estimates<br />

Management has revised the remaining estimated useful lives of<br />

certain items of property, plant and equipment at Sishen mine, as<br />

well as the estimated rehabilitation and decommissioning provisions<br />

at both Sishen and Kolomela mines. The change in estimate at<br />

Kolomela mine was mainly as a result of a decrease in the useful<br />

life resulting from the exclusion of inferred mineral resources from<br />

the LOM plan for accounting purposes. The LOM plan on which<br />

accounting estimates are based only includes proved and probable<br />

ore resources as disclosed in <strong>Kumba</strong>’s annual <strong>Ore</strong> Reserves and<br />

Mineral Resources statement. The effect of these changes is<br />

detailed below:<br />

31 December<br />

Rand million<br />

2011<br />

Increase in environmental rehabilitation provision 67<br />

Increase in decommissioning provision 20<br />

Increase in accumulated depreciation 55<br />

The change in estimate in the environmental rehabilitation provision<br />

and accumulated depreciation was applied prospectively from<br />

1 January 2011 and resulted in a decrease in attributable profit<br />

before taxation and headline earnings per share for the year ended<br />

31 December 2011 of R122 million and 21 cents, respectively.<br />

The change in estimate in the decommissioning provision has been<br />

capitalised to the related property, plant and equipment.<br />

Unwinding of phase one of Envision<br />

Envision, SIOC’s broad-based equity participation scheme for<br />

employees below managerial level, was set up to provide a<br />

framework for the incentivisation and retention of certain employees,<br />

as well as effective participation in the equity transition of the group<br />

as contemplated in the Mining Charter.<br />

Envision was structured as a ten year scheme, divided into two<br />

capital appreciation periods. The first capital appreciation period<br />

vested on 17 November 2011. The second capital appreciation<br />

period commenced on 10 November 2011 with the issue of 3.09%<br />

in the share capital of SIOC to the Envision trust. This resulted in a<br />

net increase in the non-controlling interest in SIOC of R4 million.<br />

The unwind of phase one resulted in a net cash outflow for the<br />

group through the implementation of the specific share repurchase<br />

by <strong>Kumba</strong> undertaken to monetise the value for employee<br />

participants. The actual monetary impact was R2.7 billion, based<br />

on a <strong>Kumba</strong> 5 day average share price of R 508.82 per share on<br />

17 November 2011.<br />

Accounting policies<br />

The following amendments to published standards and<br />

interpretations which became effective for the year commencing on<br />

1 January 2011 were adopted by the group:<br />

IAS 24 - RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES<br />

(AMENDMENT)<br />

This amendment simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying<br />

its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the<br />

definition and provides a partial exemption from the disclosure<br />

requirements for government-related entities. This amendment did<br />

not have a significant impact on the reported results for the year<br />

ended 31 December 2011.<br />

ANNUAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT 2010<br />

The group adopted the amendments to various issued accounting<br />

standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board<br />

(IASB) as part of its Annual Improvements Project 2010 that are<br />

effective for reporting periods that commenced on 1 January 2011.<br />

These amendments have not had an effect on the reported results or<br />

the group accounting policies.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

The year under review has been very successful for the group.<br />

This has enabled us to consistently deliver on and exceed our<br />

financial targets and consequently return significant cash to<br />

our shareholders. Our strong balance sheet, together with our<br />

sustained financial performance, provides a solid foundation for<br />

sustainable growth.<br />
