RESTATEMENT OF RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2008
- REDUCTION IN HEADLINE LOSS
The unaudited results for the quarter and six months ended 30 June 2008 were
released on SENS on 31 July 2008. Following the publication of these results
, AngloGold Ashanti has reassessed the accounting estimate for income taxes,
for the effects and impact of the accelerated non-hedge derivative settlements
in accordance with IAS34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Following this
reassessment, the in come tax expense has been reduced by R641 million (US$81m)
for the period. This is as a result of IAS34 requiring that the income tax
expense for interim reporting purposes to be calculated by applying to an
interim period`s pre - tax income, the estimated average annual effective
income tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings.
It should be noted that the overprovision would have been reversed by financial
year-end and therefore would not have had any effect on the full year`s income
tax expense and earnings. Nevertheless, in compliance with IAS34, AngloGold
Ashanti has decided to revise its results for the quarter and six months
ended 30 June 2008.
The effect of the reassessment is as follows:
