Notes:
The results are prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies
adopted by the Group are in accordance with South African Statements of
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and are consistent with those of the
previous year.
Revenue was down due to lower gold production as a result of lower grade and a
lower Rand gold price. The low grade is of a temporary nature and remedial steps
are being taken to improve profitability.

Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement that accompanied the
