IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements and the amendments to IAS 19 – Employee
Benefits were adopted retrospectively on 1 January 2013. These amendments resulted in an increase of R715m in the
group’s opening reserves, largely due to the recognition of a Retirement fund surplus.
2
Primarily comprises the cash component of the ordinary dividend declared in March 2013 and the ordinary dividend
declared in August 2013.

R10.03 Rand / 1 US dollar exchange rate at 30 September 2013 compared to a rate of R8.48 at 31 December 2012.
