* 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 requirements resulted in an increase of R700m in the group’s reserves at 1
January 2013 as an opening balance restatement.
** Primarily comprises the cash component of the ordinary dividends declared 7
March 2013.
*** The change in translation reserve principally arises from the translation impact on
the group’s foreign net asset value of a R9.19 Rand / 1 US dollar exchange rate at 31 March
2013 compared to a rate of R8.48 at 31 December 2012.
The information contained in this announcement regarding the group's results for the quarter
