NOTES
1. Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated group financial statements have been prepared on
the historical costs basis, except for financial instruments which are fair
valued, in accordance with the group`s accounting policies compliant with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), IAS 34: "Interim Financial
Reporting", the South African Companies Act,1973, as amended, and the JSE
Listings Requirements. The group`s accounting policies are consistent with those
adopted in the financial year ended 30 June 2006. The adoption of changes to IAS
21, IAS 39, IFRS 6, IFRIC 4, IFRIC 9 and IFRIC 10 did not have a material impact
on the group`s accounting policies. The guidance in IFRIC 8 has been applied in
accounting for the Afripalm Transaction.
2. GFI-SA loan
R`000 Reviewed Audited
30 June 2007 30 June 2006
Loan advanced to
GFI-SA by Mvela Gold
(March 2004) 4,139,000 4,139,000
Unrealised fair
value adjustment
at end of the year 1,134,000 3,261,000
GFI-SA loan at fair value 5,273,000 7,400,000
The value of this
investment is sensitive
to the following key drivers:
- Rand/dollar exchange rate;
- US dollar gold price; and
- Gold Fields` share price.
The fair valuation of this investment takes into account the change in the value
of the Gold Fields shares attributable to the group, impacted by the above
drivers, and the difference between the present value of the future interest
payments from GFI-SA until 17 March 2009 and the present value of the estimated
future dividends foregone over the same period.
The decrease in the value of the GFI-SA loan to R5.3 billion from R7.4 billion
(as at 30 June 2006) is primarily attributable to the decrease in the Gold
Fields share price from R162.00 (as at 30 June 2006) to R109.40 (as at 30 June
2007). As at 30 June 2007, the number of Gold Fields shares attributable to the
group was calculated at 47.4 million despite the increase in the rand/gold price
(30 June 2006: 48 million).
3. Trans Hex Group Limited forward purchased shares
This represents the fair value of 16 million Trans Hex Group Limited forward
purchased shares for delivery on 5 March 2008. The fair value is based on the
market price of Trans Hex Group Limited shares as at 30 June 2007 and the
contingent liability at that date, of R18 million (30 June 2006: R36 million)
relating to the debenture coupon that was guaranteed by Mvela Resources.
4. Non-strategic listed investments
A non-strategic investment, comprising 12,067 B shares in Royal Dutch Shell, was
sold in August 2006 for a consideration of R3 million.
5. Cash and cash equivalents
The significant increase in cash and cash equivalents is directly attributable
to a cash injection of R1.2 billion arising from the issue of 40 million
ordinary shares to Afripalm Resources pursuant to the Afripalm Transaction.
6. Mezzanine finance

The mezzanine finance was advanced to Mvela Gold in March 2004 by a special
purpose vehicle company (SPV), on a back-to-back arrangement (the same
arrangements which are applicable to the SPV are applicable to Mvela Gold). The
Mezzanine finance is repayable in March 2009.
7. Deferred tax
The deferred tax provision mainly relates to the fair value adjustment on the
GFI-SA loan. The deferred tax asset relates to the provision for employee long-
term incentive costs.
8. Provision for employee long-term incentive costs
The provision for employee incentive costs relates to share appreciation rights
that could potentially be exercised any time in the next 10 years. The
accounting for these cash-settled share appreciation rights is described in note
9 below.
9. Share-based payment costs
The Group recognises the cost of the Gold Fields warrants, non executive
directors` share options and share appreciation rights (collectively referred to
as share-based payments) in terms of IFRS2: Share-based payments. Equity-
settled share options are valued at grant date, and the cost is spread equally
over the vesting period of the options. The resulting credit is accounted for in
shareholders` equity. Cash-settled share appreciation rights are valued at the
fair value of the rights at each balance sheet date, with any changes in fair
value recognised in profit and loss over the vesting period of the rights.
Included in exploration and project development costs is the cost of the Gold
Field`s warrants, amounting to R56 million (30 June 2006: R73 million).

In terms of the Afripalm Transaction that was approved by shareholders in
February 2007, Newshelf 848 (Pty) Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Afripalm
Resources, acquired 40 million ordinary shares in Mvela Resources at a price of
R29.20 per share, which represented a 15% discount to the 30 day volume weighted
average price (VWAP) on 5 December 2006. The transaction discount has been
expensed in the income statement, with a corresponding credit to equity and
therefore results in no change to the net asset value of the group. The
transaction also included the issue of 10 million share options to Afripalm
Resources 2, for which an upfront consideration of R10 million was paid. The 10
million share options were granted to Afripalm Resources 2 at a strike price of
R34.35 per share, escalating at 75% of Absa`s Prime overdraft rate ruling from
time-to-time, compounded monthly in arrears, to date of exercise. The options
are exercisable from 1 May 2010 until 30 April 2014 and the cost thereof has
been determined using option pricing methodologies.
The transaction has been accounted for in terms of IFRS 2 and the guidance in
IFRIC 8, which require that the difference between the fair value of the equity
instruments granted and cash consideration received, be expensed. Accordingly,
the transaction discount has been calculated as the difference between the fair
value of the shares issued to Afripalm Resources at grant date and the
consideration received.
Management believes that the accounting treatment of the transaction discount is
not consistent with the value accretive nature of the transaction, which had a
significant and immediate positive impact on the company`s share price and
eliminated the significant net asset value discount to which the company`s share
have historically traded

COMMENTARY
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
An important turning point in the evolution of Mvelaphanda Resources was the
conclusion of the Afripalm Transaction in March 2007, in terms of which Mvela
Resources issued 40 million new ordinary shares, 35 million "A" ordinary shares
and 10 million options to Afripalm Resources, a broad-based BEE company led by
Lazarus Zim, thereby increasing Mvela Resources` BEE shareholding to over 50%.
The total consideration raised from the transaction, amounting to approximately
R1.2 billion, combined with existing cash reserves, has significantly
strengthened the company`s balance sheet and given impetus for the pursuit of
value accretive growth opportunities in the mining sector. The positive
reception to the Afripalm Transaction by the market is reflected in the
subsequent increase in Mvela Resources` share price from R35.00 the day before
the deal was announced on 7 December 2006, to R61.00 on 30 June 2007, a 74%
increase. This was accompanied by a narrowing of the net asset value discount
that Mvela Resources share price has historically attracted, reflecting market
expectations of a more positive outlook for the company.
Income Statement
Group earnings were once again volatile, shifting from headline earnings per
share of 1,663 cents for the year ended 30 June 2006 to a headline loss of 1,199
cents for the year ended 30 June 2007. The most significant driver of earnings
was again, movement in the fair value of the group`s investment in GFI-SA. In
line with IFRS, the GFI-SA investment has been fair valued at year-end,
resulting in a negative adjustment from a fair value of R7.4 billion on 30 June
2006 to a fair value of R5.3 billion on 30 June 2007 - an unrealised, non-cash,
fair value loss of R2.1 billion (refer to note 2: GFI-SA loan). This fair value
loss is largely the result of the 32% decline in the share price of Gold Fields
from R162.00 on 30 June 2006 to R109.40 on 30 June 2007.
A more accurate reflection of prevailing robust global commodity prices, is
evident in the earnings contribution from Northam, which rose 87% due to an
increase in Northam`s after tax earnings from R705 million in the 2006 financial
year-end to R1.3 billion in the current financial year. Trans Hex also had an
improved performance, reporting a profit of R42 million for the year ended 31
March 2007 compared to a loss of R119 million in the prior year. Consequently,
total earnings from associates increased by 102% from R135 million in 2006 to
R273 million for the year-ended 30 June 2007. Due to Trans Hex`s operational
improvement and a positive outlook on diamond prices, management has considered
it appropriate that the impairment loss of R45 million, raised against the
investment in the 2006 financial year, be partly written back by R17 million to
more appropriately reflect the value of the investment. This strong operational
performance by Northam and Trans Hex is better reflected in Mvela Resources`
normalised or adjusted earnings per share, which exclude "other expenses/income"
such as impairments, the effects of revaluation of financial instruments and
costs associated with specific transactions such as the Afripalm Transaction.
Accordingly, adjusted earnings more than doubled, from 46 cents in the year-
ended 30 June 2006 to 111 cents in the year ended 30 June 2007.
The Afripalm Transaction has been accounted for in terms of IFRS 2 and guidance
in IFRIC 8, which require that the difference between the fair value of the
equity instruments granted and the cash consideration received, be expensed.
Under IFRS, the fair value of the 40 million shares issued is determined on the
grant date, which for the purposes of this Transaction was the date that
agreement on suspensive conditions was reached between the parties to the
Transaction. The difference between the fair value on that day (at a share price
of R44.00 per share adjusted for the lock-in discount) and the cash
consideration received from Afripalm Resources (at the issue price of R29,20 per
share), applied to the 40 million shares issued, results in a calculated
"transaction discount" of R328 million.
Mvela Resources` management believes that the accounting treatment of the
Afripalm Transaction does not correctly reflect or capture the value that
shareholders have gained from the Afripalm Transaction. The Afripalm
Transaction has brought about a strategic repositioning for Mvela Resources and
market acceptance of this, in management`s opinion, is reflected in the 74%
share price increase from R35.00 per share the day before the Transaction was
announced on 7 December 2006 (which is when the terms were announced and the
market reacted to those terms), to R61.00 per share on 30 June 2007, as well as
the 46% outperformance relative to the FTSE/JSE Resources Index over that time.
Mvela Resources share price has also historically traded at a discount to its
net asset value (NAV), but this had totally disappeared by 30 June 2007.
Management of Mvela Resources finds it incongruent that a Transaction which is
largely responsible for an increase in the company market capitalisation from
R5.8 billion to R12.7 billion, and hence a similar gain in value for
shareholders, should reflect as a R544 million cost to the company, merely
because of how and when, the grant date is defined under IFRS.
The 10 million share options that were granted to Afripalm 2 pursuant to the
Afripalm Transaction have also been valued at grant date using option pricing
methodologies, and a once off cost of R195.7 million (net of the R10 million
consideration paid by Afripalm Resources) has been recorded in terms of IFRS 2:
"Share-based payments".
Share-based incentive costs comprise of share appreciation rights of management
and staff and are valued at each balance sheet date in line with IFRS 2: "Share-
based payments". These costs increased substantially, primarily due to the
significant increase in the company`s share price by 69% from R36.00 as at 30
June 2006 to R61.00 as at 30 June 2007.
As in the previous year, a significant portion (R55 million: 2006 R73 million)
of the current year`s exploration expenditure relates to exploration warrants
granted to Gold Fields as consideration for Mvela Resources` share of its
exploration expenditure in Africa. This represents non-cash expenditure which is
valued in terms of IFRS 2: "Share-based payments". A major portion of the
exploration costs relates to the Essakane project in Burkina Faso.
The previous year`s unrealised gain of R3.2 billion on the GFI-SA investment
gave rise to a provision for a deferred tax liability being raised at a capital
gains tax (CGT) rate of 14,5%. This provision has now been reversed pursuant to
the reported unrealised loss on the GFI-SA investment, resulting in a net
deferred tax credit of R326 million.
Balance Sheet
Notable movements in the balance sheet relate primarily to: (a) the GFI-SA
investment ("the GFI-SA loan"), the value of which decreased by R2.1 billion
from R7.4 billion as at 30 June 2006 to R5.3 billion as at 30 June 2007 as
already explained in the Income Statement section above; and (b) the cash
injection of R1.2 billion from the Afripalm Transaction, which, combined with
existing cash reserves of R300 million, significantly boosted the group`s cash
reserves to R1.5 billion at 30 June 2007.
Despite the impact of the GFI-SA investment, which is underpinned by a volatile
Gold Fields share price, the group boasts a robust capital structure with total
assets of R8.3 billion and shareholders` equity of R5.8 billion as at 30 June
2007.

Cash flows from financing activities were significantly boosted by the cash
inflow of R1.2 billion arising from the issue of shares and options to Afripalm
Resources as discussed above. Cash generated from investing activities was
significantly boosted by dividends received from Northam, which comprised of a
final dividend of 165 cents per share for 2006 and an interim dividend of 245
cents per share for 2007. This resulted in dividends received from Northam
increasing by 152% from R84 million in the 2006 financial year to R212 million
in the 2007 financial year. Northam declared a final dividend for 2007 of 280
cents per share, which has translated into a cash injection to Mvela Resources
of R145 million, bringing the group`s cash reserves post year-end to R1.6
billion. Other major cash flow items during the year included R23 million
received on exercise of Gold Fields warrants (1,375,584 at a strike price of
R16.93) and a final payment of R20 million for the finalisation of the
Booysendal/Khumama acquisition.
Prospects
While the fallout from the sub-prime crisis in the US has impacted negatively on
global equities and commodity prices to some extent, at this stage, and assuming
global financial authorities continue to manage the situation, it does not
appear as if it will have a long lasting impact on the commodity markets.
Barring further exogenous shocks, growth in China and India should continue to
support metal demand and in the sectors that Mvela Resources is invested in,
supply shortfalls continue to surprise market commentators.
Mvela Resources is well positioned for growth, with a robust balance sheet and
delivery on its strategic intent should continue to deliver value to
shareholders through the 2008 financial year.
