Differences in accounting
treatment between IFRS and US GAAP which have a significant
effect on AngloGold are noted below: |
| |
| I Business combinations (including
acquired properties and goodwill) |
Under IFRS at the formation
of AngloGold on 29 June 1998, the acquisition of the participating
companies and the interests in the share interest companies
were accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under
US GAAP the original formation of AngloGold did not qualify
as a “pooling of interest” and therefore the formation
transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Subsequent
acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations
under both IFRS and US GAAP.
Both IFRS and US GAAP require purchase consideration to be
allocated to the net assets acquired at their fair value on
the date of acquisition. Under IFRS any excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the attributable mineral reserves
and net assets is recognised as goodwill. Goodwill which represents
resources is amortised on a systematic basis which recognises
the depletion of resources over the lesser of the LOM or 20
years.
Under US GAAP, the purchase consideration is allocated to
the net assets acquired according to the assets and liabilities
respective fair value, including acquired properties which
is amortised over the LOM. Where the purchase price cannot
be attributed to the assets acquired, it is allocated to goodwill
and amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser of
the LOM or 20 years until 31 December 2001. In accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortised
but reviewed annually for impairment effective from 1 January
2002..
In cases where traded equity securities are exchanged as consideration,
IFRS requires the fair value of the consideration to be determined
based on market value at the date of the exchange transaction.
The date of acquisition is considered to be when effective
control over the acquired assets and liabilities is obtained..
US GAAP requires that the fair value of such transaction be
determined, at the date the terms and conditions of the transaction
are agreed to and announced, by the average trading price
of a few days before and after the acquisition is agreed to
and announced.. |
| |
| II IFRS exceptional loss reversed |
Represents the reversal
of the loss on disposal of the Free State assets recorded
in IFRS in 2002. Under US GAAP, the value of the Free State
assets were written down in 2001 to the net selling price
per the sale agreement. |
| |
| III Post-retirement medical benefits |
Under IFRS, post-retirement
medical benefits are accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of IAS 19. Under US GAAP these benefits are accounted
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 106.
Under IFRS, only the contractual liability for post-retirement
is accounted for. Under US GAAP, both the contractual and
the liabiliy in excess of contributions made by plan members
are accounted for. The adjustment to post-retirement medical
benefits refers to the actuarial valuation as calculated by
independent actuaries. |
| |
| IV Normandy transaction costs |
Under IFRS, the transaction
costs relating to the Normandy bid were charged to share premium.
Under US GAAP, these expenses are expensed as an aborted business
combination. |
| |
| V Stock compensation expense |
Under US GAAP performance-related
options are accounted for as variable compensation awards
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 (APE No. 25). A compensation expense is calculated at the
end of each reporting period until the performance obligation
has been met or waived. Compensation expense will vary based
on the fluctuations of the underlying stock price in excess
of the exercise price. |
| |
| VI Other |
Other consists of other
differences between IFRS and US GAAP that are considered insignificant
to be quantified individually.

| |
| VII Income taxes |
Reflects the tax impact
of the differences between IFRS and US GAAP. |
| |
| VIII Cumulative effect of accounting
changes |
| |
| Hedge accounting |
The $10m (net of provision
for deferred taxation of $2m) cumulative effect of change
in accounting policy represents the transitional adjustment
resulting from the adoption of SFAS 133 on 1 January 2001.
In accordance with IAS 39, such adjustments are recorded to
opening retained earnings. |
| |
| Asset retirement obligations |
The $3m (net of provision
for deferred taxation) cumulative effect of change in accounting
policy represents the transitional adjustment resulting from
the adoption of SFAS 143 on 1 January 2003. Under IFRS, accounting
for provisions and contingencies is dealt with in IAS 37.
