(a) | On 27 February 2008, Pamodzi Gold Limited (Pamodzi) bought the Orkney operations from the group for a consideration of 30 million Pamodzi shares. This resulted in Harmony owning 32.4% of Pamodzi valued at R345 million (US$46.5 million) being R11.50 (US$1.54) per share on acquisition date. Pamodzi was listed on the JSE and had interests in operating gold mines in South Africa. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| On 30 September 2008, an impairment test was performed and an impairment of R112 million (US$13.5 million) was recorded, bringing the total impairment recorded on the investment to date to R207 million (US$25.8 million). After taking into account the group's share of losses of R33 million (US$3.7 million), the carrying value at 31 December 2008 was R0. Total share in losses to date was R110 million (US$14.3 million).
Subsequently, the group has not recognised its share of any further losses. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Pamodzi was placed in liquidation and the trading of its shares on the JSE was suspended. | | |
| | | |

(b) | The group owns a 40% share of Rand Uranium, which is an unlisted company registered in South Africa, with gold mining operations in the Gauteng province of South Africa. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| The group's interest was obtained by the completion of two transactions, discussed below. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| On 21 November 2008, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary Randfontein Estates Limited disposed of its Randfontein Cooke assets to a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary Rand Uranium, for a consideration of US$328 million (R3 484 million), settled with Rand Uranium shares. In a related transaction on the same date, 60% of these shares were sold to PRF for US$197 million (R2 093 million). US$40 million was paid on the effective date and the balance of US$157 million was paid on 20 April 2009. Interest was charged on the outstanding balance at 5% per annum, resulting in R32 million (US$3.3 million) being recognised in the income statement. The interest was also received on 20 April 2009. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| The conditions precedent for the second part of the Rand Uranium transaction relating to the sale of the Old Randfontein assets to Rand Uranium were fulfilled on 22 April 2009. These assets were valued at US$20 million (R212 million). Additional shares were issued in settlement and 60% of these shares were sold to PRF in terms of the agreement. PRF paid its portion of the purchase price, US$12 million (R109 million), in cash on 20 April 2009. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| The shareholders' agreement includes certain restrictions on the group's ability to dispose of its shares in Rand Uranium for a period of up to four years from the effective date, being 21 November 2008. In addition, PRF has the right, for a period of up to four years after the effective date, to have first claim on the proceeds, up to a specified amount, in the event of a disposal of the operations. Harmony has first right of refusal in such an event. However due to the contingent nature of the provision, the group has made no adjustments to the associate’s carrying amount. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| The group recognised a profit of R1 786 million (US$171 million) (before tax) on these transactions during the 2009 financial year. This profit is included in the profit from discontinued operations. Refer to note 14. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| The group recognised its share of the post-acquisition profits of R56 million (US$7 million) (7 months ending 30 June 2009: R46 million (US$5.1 million)). | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Rand Uranium has a year end of 30 June. The audited financial information of Rand Uranium for the years ended 30 June 2010 and at
