| All mining capital expenditure is deducted to the extent that it does not result in an assessed loss and depreciation is ignored when calculating the mining income. Capital expenditure not deducted from mining income is carried forward as unredeemed capital to be deducted from future mining income. The company operates under two tax paying operations, Vaal River Operation and West Wits Operation. Under ring-fencing legislation, each operation is treated separately and deductions can only be utilised against income generated by the relevant tax operation. | |||||||||||||
| The formula for determining the mining tax rate is: Y = 43 – 215/X (2009: Y = 43 – 215/X) where Y is the percentage rate of tax payable and X is the ratio of mining profit net of any redeemable capital expenditure to mining revenue expressed as a percentage. | |||||||||||||
| The maximum statutory mining tax rate is 43% (2009: 43%), non-mining statutory tax rate 35% (2009: 35%) and statutory company tax rate 28% (2009: 28%). | |||||||||||||

| During November 2010, a number of the dormant subsidiaries of the group unbundled their underlying assets as part of a rationalisation process to consolidate cross shareholdings, simplify the corporate structure and eliminate unnecessary costs relating to these entities. | ||||||||
| As a result of the rationalisation, the company received dividends in specie of R17,693m (note 1). The accounting standards do not allow the offset of the dividends in specie against the carrying values of the investments in subsidiaries and accordingly the carrying values were subject to impairment testing. Impairments following the restructuring of R13,788m were recorded. | ||||||||

| Effective 17 February 2009, the interest in the Tau Lekoa mine together with the adjacent Weltevreden, Jonkerskraal and Goedgenoeg project areas in South Africa were classified as held for sale. Tau Lekoa was previously recognised as a combination of tangible and current assets, current and long-term liabilities. | ||||||||
| The purchase consideration consists of two components: an initial cash payment or combination of cash payments and Simmer & Jack Mines Limited (Simmers) shares together with future royalty payments. | ||||||||
| The Department of Mineral Resources has transferred the mining rights for its Tau Lekoa mine to Buffelsfontein Gold Mines Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Simmers. Full ownership of Tau Lekoa and the adjacent properties of Weltevreden, Jonkerskraal and Goedgenoeg passed to Simmers on 1 August 2010. | ||||||||
| Following the classification of Tau Lekoa as held for sale, an impairment loss of R58m (2009: R200m) was recognised to reduce the carrying amount of the disposal group to the fair value less costs to sell (note 4). | ||||||||

Financial risk management activities |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the normal course of its operations, the company is exposed to gold price, other commodity price, foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity, equity price and credit risks. In order to manage these risks, the company may enter into transactions which make use of both on- and off-balance sheet derivatives. The company does not acquire, hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes. The company has developed a comprehensive risk management process to facilitate, control and monitor these risks. The board has approved and monitors this risk management process, inclusive of documented treasury policies, counterparty limits and controlling and reporting structures. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Managing risk in the company Risk management activities within the company are the ultimate responsibility of the board of directors. The chief executive officer is responsible to the board of directors for the design, implementation and monitoring of the risk management plan. The newly formed Risk and Information Integrity Committee is responsible for overseeing risk management plans and systems and the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee oversees financial risks which include a review of treasury activities and the companys counterparties. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The financial risk management objectives of the company are defined as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gold price and foreign exchange risk Gold price risk arises from the risk of an adverse effect on current or future earnings resulting from fluctuations in the price of gold. The gold market is predominately priced in US dollars which exposes the company to the risk that fluctuations in the SA rand/US dollar exchange rate may also have an adverse effect on current or future earnings. The company is also exposed to certain by-product commodity price risk. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| During the year the company had utilised derivatives as part of its hedging of these risks. In order to provide financial exposure to the rising spot price of gold and the potential for enhanced cash-flow generation the company completed its final tranche of the hedge buy-back programme and settled all forward gold and foreign exchange contracts that had been used by the company in the past to manage those risks. At year-end, there were no net forward sales contracts (2009: 1,189kg), net call options sold (2009: 44,742kg) and net put options sold (2009: 15,381kg) outstanding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash flow hedges The company's cash flow hedges consist of commodity forward contracts that are used to protect against exposures to variability in future commodity cash flows. The amounts and timing of future cash flows are projected for each portfolio of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of their contractual terms and other relevant factors, including estimates of prepayments and defaults. The contractual cash flows across all portfolios over time form the basis for identifying gains and losses on the effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of forecast transactions. Gains and losses are initially recognised directly in other comprehensive income and are transferred to earnings as gold income when the forecast transactions affect the income statement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The company does not have any cash flow hedge contracts relating to product sales as at 31 December 2010. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The gains and losses on ineffective portions of such derivatives are recognised in the income statement. During the year to 31 December 2010, a loss of nil (2009: R22m) was recognised on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts in the income statement due to hedge ineffectiveness. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Non-hedge derivatives Loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts is summarised as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Figures in million | 2010 | 2009 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SA Rands | |||
| Loss on hedge buy-back costs | (7,631) | – | |
| (Loss) gain on realised non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts | (932) | 58 | |
| Gain (loss) on unrealised non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts | 7,080 | (4,148) | |
| Loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts per the income statement | (1,483) | (4,090) | |
| The loss on non-hedge derivatives and other commodity contracts was R1,483m (2009: R4,090m). This was as a result of the accelerated hedge book settlement, normal realised losses on non-hedge derivatives and the revaluation of non-hedge derivatives resulting from changes in the prevailing spot gold price, exchange rates, interest rates, volatilities and credit risk compared to the previous year. The realised loss as a result of accelerated settlement of non-hedge derivatives was R7,631m (2009: nil) and was due to the hedge book elimination that was effected during the current year. | |||
| Net open hedge position as at 31 December 2010 As at 31 December 2010, the company had no outstanding commitments against future production as a result of the elimination of the hedge book. At 31 December 2009, the marked-to-market value of all derivatives, irrespective of accounting designation, making up the hedge position was negative R6.98bn based on a gold price of $1,102 per ounce, an exchange rate of $1 = R7.4350 and the market interest rates and volatilities prevailing at that date. | |||

| As at 31 December 2010, the company had no open forward exchange or option contracts in its currency and gold hedge position. | |||||||
| The mix of hedging instruments, the volume of production hedged and the tenor of the hedge book is continually reviewed in the light of changes in operational forecasts, market conditions and the company's hedging policy. | |||||||
| Forward sales contracts require the future delivery of the underlying at a specified price. | |||||||
| A put option gives the put buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying to the put seller at a predetermined price on a predetermined date. | |||||||

| The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: | |||||
| Cash restricted for use, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payablesThe carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of these instruments | |||||
| Trade and other receivablesThe fair value of the non-current portion of trade and other receivables has been calculated using market interest rates. | |||||
| Investments and other non-current assetsListed equity investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value while fixed income investments and other non-current assets are carried at amortised cost. The fair value of fixed income investments and other non-current assets has been calculated using market interest rates. The unlisted equity investment is carried at cost. There is no active market for the unlisted equity investment and fair value cannot be reliably measured. | |||||
| BorrowingsThe interest rate on the borrowings is reset on a short-term floating rate basis, and accordingly the carrying amount is considered to approximate fair value. | |||||
| DerivativesThe fair value of derivatives are estimated based on ruling market prices, volatilities, interest rates and credit risk as at 31 December and includes all derivatives carried in the statement of financial position. | |||||
| The company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula to value option contracts. One of the inputs into the model is the level of volatility.

| At 31 December 2010, the company had no open derivative positions in the hedge book. The impact of credit risk adjustment totalled R393m at 31 December 2009. | |||||||
| The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: | |||||||
| Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |||||||
| Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and | |||||||
| Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). | |||||||
| The following table sets out the company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierachy as at 31 December. | |||||||
