2. STRATEGY AND PURPOSE OF THE RIGHTS OFFER2.1 Strategy<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s strategy is to:– grow the market for PGMs;– expand production in order to cater for the increased demand; and– optimise value in current operations.2.2 Growing the market for PGMs<strong>Platinum</strong> is the most well known PGM with the widest range of applications. The focus on platinumhas increased yearly due to its unique properties, rarity, beauty and value, making it increasinglysought after in jewellery. More importantly, however, is platinum’s role in the drive to protect theenvironment and combat global warming. <strong>Platinum</strong>, whose use in autocatalysts has significantlyreduced harmful exhaust emissions, is also instrumental in science as the potential of the hydrogeneconomy, powered by fuel cells, is contemplated.South Africa is host to the largest known platinum mineralisation in the world, with 73% of the globalplatinum resource at more than 1.1 billion ounces. South Africa produced 73% of the world’s totalmined platinum in 2003, of which <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> produced approximately 50%. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> isthe largest primary producer of platinum, due to its significant resource base.Having grown the market, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is able to utilise its significant resource base, therebyproviding stability to the long-term growth profile of the industry. By moving operations down thecost curve, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> will be better placed to protect the competitive position of its existingand new operations during periods of price fluctuation. At 31 December 2003, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>reported reserves of 158.1 million ounces of 4E (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold) and anadditional 746.4 million ounces of resources (4E).In 2003, the two main sectors of demand for platinum were autocatalysts and jewellery, at 38% and37% of total demand, respectively. <strong>Platinum</strong> demand for autocatalysts continues to benefit frommore onerous vehicle emissions legislation and the demand for further reductions in air pollutionand greenhouse gases. In addition, there is significant growth in the production of light-duty dieselbasedautocatalysts and initial growth in the production of catalysts for heavy-duty diesel vehicles.As diesel-powered vehicles currently only use platinum-based autocatalysts, the growingpopularity of diesel-powered vehicles in Europe continues to increase the demand for platinum.The outlook for platinum jewellery is positive, especially where it is popular amongst the younger,more affluent generations and in particular in the bridal market. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is a major supporterof the <strong>Platinum</strong> Guild International, which since its inception in 1975, has played a major role increating demand for platinum through constant promotion and the establishment of new platinumjewellery markets.2.3 Expanding into market growth and prospectsIn 2000, the Company announced an expansion programme to increase its annual refined platinumproduction so as to be able to meet anticipated forecast demand for PGMs. A number of majormining, smelting and refining projects have been initiated and have resulted in refined platinumproduction increasing from a level of approximately 2.0 million ounces in 1999 to 2.3 million ouncesin 2003.On 4 December 2003, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> announced its intention to reduce the rate of implementationof expansion projects, due to the impact of South African producer price inflation of 26% over thepast three years, the 14% decline in the US dollar price for the basket of metals produced duringthe same period and the recent 50% appreciation in the value of the rand, all of which negativelyimpacted operating margins, cash flows and future funding of new projects. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> willslow down implementation of its expansion projects by between one and three years, but continueto expand the treatment, smelting and refining projects to meet the growth in its mining profile.Although the rate of expansion will be reduced, the rationale for expansion still remains clear, as isillustrated by the following:15


– since 1993, demand for platinum has grown at a compound rate of 5.4% per annum;– in 2003, global demand for mined platinum increased for the eleventh consecutive year;– <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> anticipates that in 2004, demand for platinum will be greater than supply for thesixth consecutive year;– the market fundamentals for future demand for platinum remain favourable;– <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> has the largest, most accessible resource base of all industry players;– a number of major mining, smelting, and refining projects have success<strong>full</strong>y been brought intooperation over the last three years; and– in respect of mining, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> retains a degree of flexibility to adjust production fromMerensky to UG2 reserves, according to changing circumstances.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> has a number of significant green and brown fields projects that are intended toboth sustain and increase production of refined platinum to approximately 2.45 million ounces in2004 and to 2.9 million ounces in 2006. This will result in an average annual compound rate ofgrowth in production of 8%. Ongoing capital expenditure is forecast to average R3.7 billion (in 2004money terms) between 2004 and 2006. In addition, capital expenditure on expansion projectsamounted to R3.3 billion in 2003 and a total of R8.3 billion (in 2004 money terms) is forecast for2004 to 2006. Further details of these projects are provided in paragraph 8.8 below.The revised expansion programme will have no effect on the Black Economic Empowermentcommitments of the Company, or its ability to comply with the requirements of the Mining Charter.2.4 Optimising value in current operationsNotwithstanding the effect of the Rand/US Dollar exchange rate and US Dollar metal prices, thefinancial performance of the Company will be largely determined by its ability to manage miningand operational costs while continuing with the expansion. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> has embarked upon aprogramme to increase efficiencies and reduce costs across the business, with an emphasis onwork processes and structures, both at business units and corporate and central functions.As mines get older, an increase in depth is a feature which results in an increase in cost for miningorganisations. In <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s case, the flexibility of its portfolio of assets has afforded it theopportunity of ameliorating this impact by combining higher-grade Merensky reef projects withshallow, lower-grade UG2 reef projects, all of which meet <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s hurdle rate of return.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s operations (steady-state and ramp-up) have an above industry average gradeprofile, which places <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> in a favourable position to meet future demand.Where necessary, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> will rationalise existing operations in order to protect operatingmargins.2.5 Purpose of the rights offerAs discussed above, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is engaged in an expansion programme to produce2.9 million ounces of refined platinum in 2006 and thereby participate in the global growth indemand for platinum. The purpose of the rights offer is to strengthen the balance sheet of <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>. This will ensure an appropriate combination of debt and equity and that further debt canbe raised in a cost effective manner. This further funding will be used to finance replacement andexpansion projects and will be employed appropriately in order to match the capital expenditureprofile of the Company.3.

Thefollowing should be noted:4.7.1 acceptances may only be made by holders of certificated shares by means of the form ofinstruction;4.7.2 the properly completed form of instruction and a cheque or banker’s draft, in the currencyof the RSA, in payment of the issue price must be received from holders of certificatedshares by the transfer secretaries or UK transfer secretaries at the addresses referred to inparagraph 4.10 below, by not later than 14:30 (South African time) on Friday, 28 May 2004;4.7.3 holders of certificated shares are advised to take into consideration postal delivery timeswhen posting their form of instruction, as no postal deliveries will be accepted after 14:30(South African time) on Friday, 28 May 2004. Each cheque or banker’s draft will bedeposited immediately for collection;17


4.7.4 the payment referred to in paragraph 4.7.2 above together with the properly completed formof instruction will, when the cheque or banker’s draft has been paid, constitute anirrevocable acceptance of the rights offer as set out in this <strong>circular</strong> and in the relevant formof instruction. Should any cheque or banker’s draft be dishonoured, the Company, in its solediscretion, may either treat the acceptance of the rights by the acceptor concerned as voidor may deliver the relevant preference shares to the acceptor for immediate payment in cashof the issue price in respect of the preference shares concerned;4.7.5 if any form of instruction and cheque or banker’s draft is not received as set out above, thenthe rights offer will be deemed to have been declined and the right to subscribe for thepreference shares offered to the holder of certificated shares or renounced in favour of hisrenouncee in respect of such form of instruction will be deemed not to have been accepted;and4.7.6 holders of dematerialised shares must act in terms of the instructions received from theCSDP or broker in terms of the agreement entered into between the shareholder andhis CSDP or broker, as the case may be.4.8 Factors relating to the conversion of the preference sharesIn the event of conversion of preference shares, the Company undertakes to use its bestendeavours to procure a listing of any ordinary shares issued by it on the JSE and on any otherexchange on which the Company’s ordinary shares are listed. The conversion date and listing ofsuch ordinary shares shall be not less than 12 business days or more than 60 calendar days afterreceipt by the Company of the notice to convert.The authorised share capital of the Company will be increased by an amount equal to any increasein the issued share capital of the Company arising on a conversion of the preference shares toordinary shares.Preference shareholders shall have the right to convert their preference shares into ordinary sharesat any time within five years of the issue date, subject to the restrictions contained in the rights andprivileges in Appendices 1 and 2 to this <strong>circular</strong>, provided that preference shareholders converteither their entire shareholding of preference shares into ordinary shares or they convert theirpreference shares into ordinary shares in lots of 1 000 preference shares.Table B in Appendix 3 to this <strong>circular</strong> provides an example of the number of ordinary shares towhich holders of preference shares will become entitled in the event of conversion. The table,which is purely illustrative, is based on the assumption of a share price of R300 per ordinary shareand a conversion price of R390 per share. Only whole numbers of ordinary shares will be issued.Where applicable, the entitlement to ordinary shares will be rounded in accordance with theListings Requirements of the JSE.The conversion price will be determined on the last day to trade (LDT) for the letters ofallocation, being Friday, 21 May 2004, and will be published on SENS on Friday, 21 May 2004and in the press on Monday, 24 May 2004.Preference shareholders will be entitled to convert their preference shares into ordinary shares atany time, except as provided for in the rights and privileges in accordance with the followingformula:Number of ordinary shares to be received =number of preference shares held x (R100/the conversion price).The conversion price is subject to change as a result of subsequent corporate actions by theCompany, details of which are provided in Appendix 2. The purpose of any resultant adjustment tothe conversion price is to ensure that preference shareholders are not prejudiced.To the extent that the directors of the company do not declare a particular dividend and apreference shareholder elects to convert while such position prevails, then upon conversion of thepreference shares, the directors shall consider the appropriateness of a mechanism which willpreserve the rights of such shareholder to cumulative preference dividends not yet declared inrespect of the preference shares being converted, including without limitation, the creation of a newclass of share which shall remain entitled to such cumulative but undeclared preference dividends,once declared.18

UNDERWRITING OF THE RIGHTS OFFERThe underwriting agreement became irrevocable at 16:30 on Wednesday, 21 April 2004. In terms of theunderwriting agreement, ASAC and Standard Bank have agreed to subscribe for the preference shares,which are not taken up pursuant to the rights offer. The commission payable for such underwriting is1.0% of the aggregate issue price of the preference shares, which are not taken up pursuant to theirrevocable undertaking referred to in paragraph 6 below. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> will pay all other expenses ofor incidental to the rights offer, including VAT or other duties on the underwriting commission and anyreasonable fees and expenses properly incurred by the underwriters in connection with the rights offer.The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriting commission will not be paid until such timeas the underwriters have met the underwriting commitments.6. IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKINGThe Company has received an irrevocable undertaking from ASAC to subscribe for or procuresubscriptions for all the preference shares to which ASAC is entitled as a shareholder in the Companyon the record date. A commitment fee of 1.5% of the aggregate issue price of the preference sharessubscribed for by ASAC is payable by the Company to ASAC in respect of this irrevocable undertaking.This irrevocable undertaking relates to approximately 74.2% of the issued ordinary shares.The reasons for the payment of a commitment fee to ASAC include the following:– in order to make the rights offer possible and to ensure the availability of funds, ASAC’s commitmentwas required from the outset;– ASAC has had to allocate and place approximately R3 billion at risk. No other shareholder is in aposition to provide this level of commitment; and– the underwriting for the rights offer was undertaken on the basis that ASAC committed to follow itsrights, which is to the benefit of all shareholders. Any underwriting obtained from third parties, withoutthe commitment from ASAC, is likely to have cost the Company significantly more.7. FINANCIAL INFORMATION7.1 Pro forma financial effects of the rights offerThe pro forma financial effects are provided for illustrative purposes to show the effect of the rightsoffer on earnings as if the rights offer proceeds had been received on 1 January 2003 and theeffects of the rights offer on net asset value per share as if the rights offer proceeds had beenreceived on 31 December 2003. Because of their nature, the pro forma financial effects may notprovide a true picture of the Company’s financial position and performance. The pro forma financialeffects have been compiled from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended31 December 2003, adjusted as described in the notes hereto.24

For earnings per share calculations, it is assumed that the rights offer of 40 000 000 preference shares was <strong>full</strong>y takenup for a total amount of R4 000 000 000 and the net proceeds of R3 930 000 000 (after expenses of R70 000 000) werereceived in cash and cash equivalents on 1 January 2003.2. The adjustments to basic earnings per ordinary share, headline earnings per ordinary share and <strong>full</strong>y diluted basicearnings per ordinary share are stated after charging tax at an average rate of 34.2%.3. Earnings per ordinary share has been calculated after taking into account the cumulative preference dividends ofR240 million and related STC of R30 million.4. If the net proceeds of the preference share issue were received on 1 January 2003, the Group would have had cashand cash equivalents available for a longer period during the financial year before a net borrowed position was reached.The calculated impact of this is as follows:RmIncrease in interest received 157.6Decrease in interest expensed 199.3Impact on profit before tax 356.9Actual average interest rates achieved for the year were applied in the calculations.5. A conversion price of R390 was assumed in calculating diluted earning per ordinary share. The conversion of thepreference shares, based on the abovementioned conversion price, has a non-dilutive effect on basic earnings perordinary share.6. For the net asset value calculation, it is assumed that the rights offer of 40 000 000 preference shares was <strong>full</strong>y taken upfor a total amount of R4 000 000 000 and the net proceeds of R3 930 000 000 (after expenses of R70 000 000) werereceived on 31 December 2003 and applied first against the Company’s short-term debt.7.2 Pro forma balance sheetAppendix 5 to this <strong>circular</strong> contains the Company’s pro forma balance sheet at 31 December 2003.7.3 Reporting accountants’ reportThe independent reporting accountants have reported on the pro forma financial information setout in paragraph 7.1 above and their report is set out in Appendix 6 to this <strong>circular</strong>.The independent reporting accountants have given and have not, prior to the last practicable date,withdrawn their written consent to the inclusion of their report in the form and context in which itappears in this <strong>circular</strong>.7.4 Financial historyThe audited consolidated audited financial statements of the Company for the three years ended31 December 2003 are set out in Appendix 7 to this <strong>circular</strong>.The auditors’ reports in respect of the financial statements for the three financial years ended31 December 2003 were without qualification.25

8.8.2 ProcessingThe process division consists of the Waterval Smelter, Polokwane Smelter, Mortimer Smelter,Rustenburg Base Metal Refinery and the Precious Metals Refinery.The key feature of the performance of the process operations in 2003 was the significantincrease in smelting capacity with the commissioning of the Polokwane Smelter, theACP Plant, and the Waterval Slag-cleaning Furnace. With this capacity now in operation,unit costs per ton smelted should decrease in line with production of increased volumesfrom the expansion programme.8.8.2.1 Polokwane SmelterThe Polokwane Smelter was success<strong>full</strong>y commissioned in March 2003, ahead ofschedule and within budget. At <strong>full</strong> capacity of 650 000 tons per year, the modernPolokwane Smelter will process concentrate from existing and new mines on theeastern limb, as well as provide some backup capacity for the Waterval andMortimer smelting facilities.8.8.2.2 ACP PlantThe objectives of the ACP Plant are to set a new global benchmark for the controlof sulphur dioxide emissions (20 tons per day by the end of 2004), while increasingthe available converter capacity for the Group’s expansion programme.8.8.2.3 Waterval Slag-cleaning FurnaceWith increasing UG2 concentrates being treated, the recycling of chrome createsconstraints in the furnaces because of the elevated melting points of the slag. Thisproject was designed to alleviate this condition, raise the recovery of the containedmetal values, and create additional capacity in the primary furnaces.8.8.2.4 PMRPMR continues to be involved in a number of de-bottlenecking and optimisationprojects, executed sequentially, that will enable the Group’s annual PGM productionvolumes to be refined.The following table provides details of the ownership by the Company of theprocess plants, the year that production commenced and the capital expenditure ateach of the process plants.<strong>Anglo</strong>Year <strong>Platinum</strong> Production CapitalProcess announced ownership commenced expenditure(%) (Rm)Polokwane Smelter 2001 100 2002 1 450ACP Plant 2000 100 2003 2 000Waterval Slag-cleaning Furnace 2001 100 2002 280Precious Metals Refinery 2000 100 2002 1 2508.8.3 Ramp-up operations and mining projectsRamp-up operations and mining projects consist of BRPM, Modikwa <strong>Platinum</strong> Mine,Rustenburg UG2 project, Styldrift Project, Twickenham <strong>Platinum</strong> Mine, Western Limb TailingsTreatment Project, Unki Joint Venture, Pandora Joint Venture, Kroondal pooling and sharingagreement with Aquarius (SA), Der Brochen Project, Booysendal Joint Venture andGa-Phasha PGM Joint Venture.

The Modikwa <strong>Platinum</strong> Mine will reach its <strong>full</strong> production level in2004 and will be reported as a steady-state operation in 2005.8.8.3.3 Rustenburg UG2 ProjectThis project will mine UG2 ore in the Rustenburg Section lease area. The recentstrategic review, and additional studies that are currently being undertaken, mayresult in both a change in the capital expenditure and production profile announcedfor this project. Anticipated adjustments have been taken into account in theCompany’s current production target for 2006.8.8.3.4 Styldrift ProjectThe Styldrift Project will form part of a joint venture with Royal Bafokeng Resourcesto mine PGMs on the farm Styldrift, located just north of BRPM. Work to completegeological evaluation of the property continues. Finalisation of the joint venture isexpected shortly. The anticipated development plan associated with the StyldriftProperty has been taken into account in the Company’s production target for 2006.8.8.3.5 Twickenham <strong>Platinum</strong> MineThis project will mine PGMs on the farms Twickenham and Hackney in the northernpart of the eastern limb of the Bushveld sequence. The recent strategic reviewhighlighted that, under the prevailing economic climate, project developmentshould be slowed down. This has been taken into account in the Company’sproduction target for 2006.8.8.3.6 Western Limb Tailings Treatment ProjectThis project seeks to process PGM tailings located on <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> properties atRustenburg Section.

Becauseof its nature, the pro forma financial information may not give a fair reflection of the Company’s financialposition after the issue.At your request and for the purpose of the transaction, we present our report on the unaudited pro formafinancial information of the Company in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE SecuritiesExchange South Africa.RESPONSIBILITIESThe directors of the Company are solely responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation of theunaudited pro forma financial information to which this independent reporting accountants’ report relatesand for the financial statements and financial information from which it has been prepared.It is our responsibility to review the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report to you. We do notaccept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in thecompilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, beyond that owed to those to whom thosereports were addressed at their dates of issue.SCOPEWe conducted our review in accordance with the guidance issued by The South African Institute ofChartered Accountants. Our work, which did not involve any independent examination of any of theunderlying financial information, consisted primarily of agreeing the unadjusted financial information to thepublished consolidated audited financial results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2003,considering the assumptions supporting the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial information,recalculating the amounts based on the information obtained and discussing the unaudited pro formafinancial information with the directors and management of the Company.Had we performed additional procedures or had we performed an audit or review of the pro forma financialinformation in accordance with Statements of South African Auditing Standards, other matters might havecome to our attention that would have been reported to you.58


OPINIONBased on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:– the unaudited pro forma financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;– such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of the Company;– the adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information interms of Section 8.30 of the JSE Listings Requirements.Yours faith<strong>full</strong>yDeloitte & ToucheRegistered Accountants and AuditorsChartered Accountants (SA)Deloitte PlaceThe WoodlandsWoodmeadSandton2196”59

CONTINGENT LIABILITIESLetters of comfort have been issued to financial institutions to cover certain banking facilities. There areno encumbrances of Group assets, other than the houses held under finance leases by the Group asdisclosed in Note 24.The Group provided guarantees in favour of Changing Tides 166 (Proprietary) Limited, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of Group Five. The guarantee provides security for lease payments to Group Five by the<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> Housing Trust (APHT). This finance lease obligation is reflected in Note 24 to thesefinancial statements. The probability of any obligation arising under this guarantee is considered remote.The Group provided a guarantee in favour of Nedcor Limited (Nedcor) for financing provided by Nedcorto Salene Mining (Proprietary) Limited (Salene). The Group provided the guarantee to enable Salene toput mining infrastructure in place. The guarantee is valid until 1 July 2006 or earlier, on repayment bySalene of the loan. Salene will sell all ore production from the mine to the Group. The facility granted byNedcor to Salene is for a maximum amount of R120 million. In the event that Nedcor calls up theguarantee, the Group holds bonds over sufficient assets of Salene to make good any obligations thatmay be incurred. It is unlikely that the Group will incur obligations under this guarantee.As a result of the slowdown of capital projects, contracts with certain suppliers are being renegotiated.As a result of the negotiations, certain cancellation cost may occur. The amount of this will only be knownand recognised during the course of 2004.Aquarius holds a put option to put its interest in the PSA (Note 15) to the Group in the case of terminationof that relationship. The probability of the option being exercised is considered remote. The amount ofsuch an obligation is dependent on a discounted cash flow valuation at that point in time.83


34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTThe Group does not trade in financial instruments but, in the normal course of its operations, the Groupis exposed to currency, metal price, investment, credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. In order tomanage these risks, the Group may enter into transactions that make use of financial instruments. TheGroup has developed a comprehensive risk management process to facilitate, control, and monitorthese risks. This process includes formal documentation of policies, including limits, controls, andreporting structures.Controlling risk in the GroupThe Executive Committee and the Financial Risk Sub-committee are responsible for risk managementactivities within the Group. Overall limits have been set by the Board. The Executive Committee isresponsible for setting individual limits. In order to ensure adherence to these limits, activities are markedto market on a daily basis and reported to the Group Treasurer. The Finance Risk Sub-committee,composed of Marketing and Treasury executives, meets weekly to review market trends and developstrategies to be submitted for Executive Committee approval. The Treasury is responsible for managinginvestment, currency, interest rate, and liquidity risk within the limits and constraints set by the Board.The Marketing Department is responsible for managing metal price risk, also within the laid-down limitsand constraints set by the Board.Currency riskThe Group operates in the global business environment and many transactions are priced in a currencyother than South African Rand. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuating exchangerates and seeks to actively manage this exposure through the use of financial instruments. Theseinstruments typically comprise forward exchange contracts and options. Forward contracts are theprimary instruments used to manage currency risk. Forward contracts require a future purchase or saleof foreign currency at a specified price.Current policy prevents the use of option contracts without Executive Committee approval. Optionsprovide the Group with the right but not the obligation to purchase (or sell) foreign currency at apre-determined price, on or before a future date. Few contracts of this nature were entered into duringthe year, and no such contracts were in existence at year-end.Forward exchange contracts2003Nominal amount of forward exchange contracts(i.e. nominal amount in South African Rand)Maturing within12 months Average ratesRmCurrency Buy Sell Buy SellUnited States dollar 498.4 144.2 8.3118 6.7738Euro 8.7 8.3745British pound 0.7 11.3071Australian dollar 3.7 5.0357Total 511.5 144.284

The ability to place forward contracts is restricted owing to thelimited size of the financial markets in PGMs. Financial markets in certain base metals are, however wellestablished. The Group places contracts where opportunities present themselves to increase/reduce theexposure to metal price fluctuations. Historically, the Group has made use of forward contracts tomanage this exposure. Forward contracts enable the Group to obtain a pre-determined price for deliveryat a future date. Refer to Note 27 in this respect.Investment, liquidity risk, and interest rate riskThe borrowed position of the Group exposes it to interest rate risk. Where necessary, the Group coversthese exposures by means of derivative financial instruments. No such financial instruments existed atthe balance sheet date.Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short-term cash investments, giving rise to interestrate risk. Other than ensuring optimum money market rates for deposits, the Group does not make useof financial instruments to manage this risk. Formal policies, procedures, and limits have been put inplace for derivative instruments. The Group’s cash position is set out in the table below:Cash and cash equivalentsAmount at Interest rate at Amount at Interest rate atPeriod (days) 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 Decemberless than 2003 2003 2002 2002Rm % Rm %30 569.4 8.60 1 580.0 13.58Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet a financial commitment in any location orcurrency. This risk is minimised through the holding of cash balances and sufficient available borrowingfacilities (refer Note 25). In addition, detailed cash flow forecasts are regularly prepared and reviewedby Treasury. The cash needs of the Group are managed according to its requirements.Credit riskCredit risk arises from the risk that a counterparty may default or not meet its obligations timeously. TheGroup minimises credit risk by ensuring that counterparties are banking institutions of the highest quality.Where possible, management ensures that netting agreements are in place. Counterparty limits arereviewed annually by the Executive Committee.Trade accounts receivable involve a small group of international companies. The financial condition ofthese companies and the countries they operate in are regularly reviewed.85

Furthermore, in order toachieve fair presentation, the financial statements are drawn up to comply with International FinancialReporting Standards and South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Thefinancial statements are the responsibility of the Directors and it is the responsibility of the independentauditors to report thereon.To enable the Directors to meet these responsibilities, the Board sets standards and implements systems ofinternal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost-effective manner. The controls include theproper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures,and adequate segregation of duties, ensuring an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitoredthroughout the Group and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuringthat the Group’s business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach.Particulars relating to the Group’s internal controls and audit approach, embracing the role and function ofthe Audit Committee, are set out in the section on corporate governance in the Sustainable DevelopmentReport, dated 31 December 2003. The audit approach entails a thorough comprehension of the Group’sfinancial and business objectives, and analysis of the underlying systems and procedures.The focus of risk management in the Group is on identifying, assessing, managing, and monitoring all knownforms of risk across the Group. While operating risk cannot be <strong>full</strong>y eliminated, the Group endeavours tominimise it by ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems, and ethics are appliedthroughout the Group and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.The Directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management and theinternal auditors and on comment by the independent auditors on the results of their audit, that the internalcontrols are adequate to ensure:– The reliability and integrity of financial and operating information;– The compliance of established systems with policies, plans, procedures, laws, and regulations;– The safeguarding of the Group’s assets against unauthorised use or disposition;– The economic, effective, and efficient utilisation of resources; and– The accomplishment of established objectives and goals for operations or programmes.Nothing has come to the attention of the Directors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioningof these controls, procedures, or systems occurred during the 2003 year. Accordingly, the financial recordsmay be relied upon for preparing the financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets andliabilities.In preparing the financial statements, the Group complied with International Financial Reporting Standardsand used appropriate accounting policies, supported by reasonable and prudent judgements andestimates. The Directors are of the opinion that the financial statements fairly present the financial positionof the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2003 and the results of the operations and cash flowinformation for the year then ended. The Directors have reviewed the Group’s cash flow forecast for the yearto 31 December 2004 and, in the light of this review, the current financial position, and the expectedproceeds from this rights issue, they are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue inoperational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Group continues to adopt the goingconcernbasis in preparing the annual financial statements.The Directors believe, as a result of the comprehensive structures and controls that are in place and theongoing monitoring of the activities of executive and operational management, that the Board maintainseffective control over the Group’s affairs. The internal auditors and the independent external auditors concurwith these statements by the Directors.93

The Board is responsible for setting the direction of the Group through the establishment of strategicobjectives and key policies. It monitors the implementation of strategies and policies through a structuredapproach to reporting on the basis of agreed performance criteria and defined, written delegations tomanagement for the detailed planning and implementation of such objectives and policies.

RISK MANAGEMENTIn pursuance of its policy of aligning Group corporate governance with international best practice andthereby safeguarding the interests of stakeholders, the Executive Committee has been mandated by theBoard to supplement the Group-wide system of internal controls to monitor, manage, and control significantGroup risks. The achievement of these objectives is enhanced through compliance with, and observance of,the UK Turnbull Guidelines on internal control and King 2.This risk management system is a principal factor facilitating the discharge of the Board’s responsibility forensuring that the extensive risks associated with the Group’s operations are effectively managed and theinterests of stakeholders safeguarded.Group risk management is achieved through the identification and control of all the main business risks,including operational risks, which could adversely affect the achievement of the Group’s businessobjectives.The Board has determined the level of acceptable risk and requires the operations to manage and report interms of this. Material issues and circumstances that could adversely impact on the Group’s reputation areconsidered to constitute unacceptable risk.Uncertainty is an inherent part of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s business, affecting the Group both on the upside and thedownside. In order to manage this uncertainty, the Group has identified risk areas, which form the basis forregular and exception reporting to the Executive Committee and the Board. The Group faces not only therisk of unforeseen events or circumstances, but also that of inaction or events not occurring. For example,the Group believes that the economic transformation of South African society made possible by newempowerment legislation represents a unique opportunity to the industry of reducing the long-term risk ofdoing business.Owners have been appointed for each risk area. Practical guidance for each risk area is detailed in theoperational risk management handbook. The risk assessment and reporting criteria are designed to providethe Board with a consistent view of the key risks. The established system of internal control for themanagement of risk, which requires transparency and clear accountability, has the commitment of seniormanagement.The above-mentioned system of internal control, which has been implemented at all key operations and istailored to suit the specific circumstances of each business unit, provides reasonable rather than absoluteassurance that the Group’s business objectives will be achieved within the prescribed risk tolerance levels.The risk areas and control processes pertaining thereto are monitored across the Group on a continuousbasis. In conducting its annual review of the effectiveness of risk management, the Board considers the keyfindings from the ongoing monitoring and reporting processes, and management and independentassurance reports. The Board also takes account of material changes and trends in the Group’s risk profile,and considers whether the control system, including reporting, adequately supports the Board’s riskmanagement objectives.The Board is satisfied that there is in place an adequate ongoing risk management process that identifies,evaluates, and manages the main risks faced by the Group.96
