ATLATSA RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Atlatsa Resources Corporation ("Company" or "Atlatsa") is incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The
Company had a primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and has a secondary listing on the New York Stock
Exchange (“NYSE MKT”) and the JSE Limited (“JSE”). Subsequent to year end, on 5 February 2014, the Group migrated from the
TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) Its principal business activity is the
mining and exploration of Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) through its mineral property interests. The Company focuses on
mineral property interests located in the Republic of South Africa in the Bushveld Complex. Atlatsa operates in South Africa
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Plateau Resources Proprietary Limited (“Plateau”) which owns the Group’s various mineral
property interests and conducted the Group’s business in South Africa.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Group incurred a net profit/(loss) for the year ended 31 December 2013 of $99.9 million (2012: ($95.6 million)) and as of that
date its total assets exceeded its total liabilities by $379.1 million (2012: $205.3 million).
This is due to the fact that once the conditions precedent for the implementation of Phase Two of the Restructure Plan were met
on 12 December 2013, the debt owing by the Company to Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (“RPM”) of $76 million (ZAR750.0
million) under the New Senior Facilities Agreement became repayable upon the issuance of 125 million Atlatsa common shares for
$76 million (ZAR750.0 million) to RPM in accordance with the terms of the Restructure Plan. The timing of the new share issue
and subsequent repayment of the debt falls within a twelve month period from the Company’s financial year-end and therefore is
classified as a current liability. This amount was settled subsequent to year-end on 31 January 2014 from the proceeds of the
issuance of 125 million common shares in the Company to RPM. Refer to note 37 for the “Events after the reporting date”.
The company completed a part of Phase two of its restructuring and recapitalising plan on 13 December 2013. This included the
following transactions between the Company and RPM, a 100% subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo Platinum”):
- the sale and transfer of the Company’s interest in the Boikgantsho Project and the Eastern section of the Ga-Phasha
Project to RPM for a net consideration of $172.2 million (ZAR1,700.0 million);
- the purchase consideration payable for the sale of the Boikgantsho Project was paid to the Company on December 13,
2013, excluding an amount of $2.9 million (ZAR29.0 million) in respect of the Boikgantsho Project information which is
payable on the date of execution of the notarial deed of extension of the RPM Mining Right to include the Boikgantsho
Prospecting Rights. The proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding debt to RPM;
- RPM subscribed for additional shares in Bokoni Holdco to the value of $196.5 million (ZAR1,939.4 million). Bokoni Holdco
utilised these funds to repay the debt outstanding between Bokoni Holdco and RPM of $196.5 million (ZAR1,939.4
million);
- The 2009 Senior Debt Facility was repaid in full and the New Senior Facilities Agreement between Plateau and RPM as
signed on March 27, 2013 was made effective. The amount available under the New Senior Facilities Agreement is
$233.0 million (ZAR2,300 million) of which $225.5 million (ZAR 2,225.7 million), including interest was utilised by 31
December 2013.
The net result was the Group’s debt was reduced by $370.8 million (ZAR 3,610.4 million).
In addition, a Working Capital Facility was provided by RPM to fund the Group’s administrative and corporate expenses. The
restructuring and recapitalising plan was finalised on 31 January 2014 resulting in the amount outstanding under the New Senior
Facility being reduced by a further $76 million (ZAR 750 million).
The New Senior Facilities Agreement is only repayable once the company generates sufficient free cash flow. The delay in the
implementation of Phase two resulted in the additional resources that were made available in terms of the new senior facility being
insufficient to meet the short term cash requirements of Bokoni Platinum Mines Proprietary Limited (“Bokoni Mine”), due to the
interest accruing on the available debt facility. The facility was fully drawn by March 2014.
An alternative funding arrangement was entered into with RPM in November 2013, whereby an advance on the Purchase of
Concentrate revenue (“Advance”) on the concentrate sales made to RPM by Bokoni Platinum Mines Proprietary Limited (“Bokoni”)
was provided. The Advance was originally available from 1 November 2013 until 30 November 2014. The agreement with RPM
with respect to the Advance provides that RPM may advance funds to Bokoni up to an amount of the lower of 90% of an advance
on revenue for the preceding two months and $36.5 million (ZAR360.0 million), provided that the amount advanced shall not
exceed the actual cash requirements for that month. This agreement was renegotiated in March 2014 to provide that RPM may
advance funds to Bokoni up to an amount of the lower of 95% of an advance on revenue for the preceding two months and $48.1
million (ZAR475.0 million), provided that the amount advanced shall not exceed the actual cash requirements for that month of
Bokoni Mine and was extended to 31 March 2015.
The Working Capital Facility made available to Plateau up to a maximum of $3 million (ZAR30 million) per year to Atlatsa during
each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 for an aggregate facility of $9.1 million (ZAR90 million), including capitalised interest to fund Atlatsa’s
corporate and administrative expenses through to 2015. The Working Capital Facility is repayable in full by December 31, 2018.
Further negotiations were entered into with RPM and the following were agreed to ensure the Group had sufficient cash resourc es
to 31 March 2015:
- RPM will meet its 49% shareholder commitment to match any cash resources that Atlatsa contributes;
- The backlog of accounts payable relating to Anglo Platinum of approximately $14.2 million (ZAR140 million) will be
deferred to be paid from April 2015 over 9 equal instalments;
- The available facility of the $9.1 million (ZAR90 million) Working Capital Facility will be made available in the event
Bokoni requires additional cash resources.
- RPM will consider the availability of the ZAR29 million outstanding on the sale of the Boikgantsho Project that took place
on 13 December 2013 which is currently payable by RPM to the Company on the date of execution of a notarial deed of
extension of the RPM Mining Right to include the Boikgantsho Prospecting Rights;
- Atlatsa executives will make available $6.1 million (ZAR60 million) as cash resources; and
- Bokoni has further evaluated that it can delay planned capital expenditure of approximately $3 million (ZAR30 million)
without impacting Bokoni’s production plans.
As a result of the available cash facilities of which $6.1 million is committed and held in escrow the financial statements are
prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
3.1 Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee.
3.2 Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis as set out in the accounting policies below.
Certain items, including derivative financial instruments, are stated at fair value.
3.3 Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in (unless stated otherwise) Canadian Dollars (“$”), which is also the
Company's functional currency. The rest of the Group financials are prepared in Rand. All financial information presented in $
has been rounded to the nearest dollar, except when otherwise indicated.
3.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the notes to the financial statements where applicable.
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the changes as explained in 4.1, the accounting policies set out below are applied consistently to all years
presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
Certain comparative amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income have been reclassified or re-presented as
a result of a change in the accounting policy regarding the presentation of items in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
4.1 Change in accounting policies
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in Note 5 to all periods
presented in these consolidated financial statements.
The Group adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to
other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013.
- Disclosures – offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities (amendments to IFRS 7)
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (2011)
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities
- IFRS 13 Fair value measurement
- Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1)
The nature and effects of the change are explained below.
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
As a result of the amendments to IFRS 7, the Group has expanded its disclosures about the offsetting of financial assets and
financial liabilities (refer to note 6).
Subsidiaries
As a result of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and
consequently whether it consolidates its investees. IFRS 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that focuses on whether the
Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to
use its power to affect those returns.
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees
at 1 January 2013. As a consequence, the Group has not changed its control conclusions in respect of its investment in its
subsidiaries.
Disclosure of Interests in other entities
As a result of IFRS 12, the Group has expanded its disclosure about its interest in subsidiaries (refer to note 39 and note 40).
Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosure about fair value measurements when
such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measur ement
date. It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7. As
a result, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regards (refer to note 6).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance
prospectively and not provided any comparative information for new disclosures. Notwithstanding the above, the change has no
significant impact on the measurements of the Group’s assets and liabilities.
Presentation of items of OCI
As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of items of OCI in its statement of profit or loss
and OCI, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss from those that would never be. Comparative
information has been re-presented accordingly.
Summary of quantitative impacts
There was no quantitative impact on the Group’s financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows due to the above
changes in the accounting policies.
4.2 Basis for consolidation
(i) Business combinations
All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group.
Goodwill is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognised amount of any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, all measured at the acquisition date. To the extent that the fair value exceeds the consideration transferred, the
excess is recognised in profit or loss.
Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the identifiable assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group
to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the
fair value of any contingent consideration and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily
in the business combination.
If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity.
Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees
(acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the
consideration transferred in the business combination. The determination is based on the market-based measure of the
replacement awards, compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement
awards relate to pre-combination service.
A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if such a liability represents a present
obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably.
Non-controlling interest is measured at its proportionate interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business combination, such as legal fees, due diligence fees and other
professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred, unless it is debt related. Directly attributable transaction costs
related to debt instruments are capitalized, and amortised over the term of the related loan by the effective interest method.
If the Group obtains control over one or more entities that are not businesses, then the bringing together of those entities are
not business combinations. The cost of acquisition is allocated among the individual identifiable assets and liabilities of such
entities, based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Such transactions do not give rise to goodwill and no non-
controlling interest is recognised.
(ii) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquis ition
date.
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity holders
in their capacity as equity holders and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions.
(iii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group exercises control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has rights
to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the
Group.
(iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are
eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
4.3 Foreign currencies
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at
the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are
translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is
the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest
and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the
year. Such gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign
currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the
translation of available-for-sale equity investments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign
operation that is effective, or qualifying cash flow hedges that are effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive
income.
(ii) Foreign operations
The financial results of Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated
into the presentation currency. The presentation currency of the Company is Canadian Dollars. Income and expenditure
transactions of foreign operations are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year except for significant individual
transactions which are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the transaction date. All assets and liabilities, including fair
value adjustments and goodwill arising on acquisition, are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation
reserve (“FCTR”) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the
translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the
foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of the net
investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income and are included in the foreign currency
translation reserve.
On disposal of part or all of the operations, such that control, significant influence or joint control
is lost , the proportionate share of the related cumulative gains and losses previously recognised in the FCTR through
the other income are included in determining the profit or loss on disposal of that operation recognised in profit or loss.
4.4 Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
Non-derivative financial assets comprise loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables are recognised on the date of origination. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade
date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Group transfers
the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risk and
rewards of ownership and does not retain any control over the transferred asset. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is
created or retained is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when,
and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such
assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition
loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, restricted cash, investment in the Platinum Producer’s
Environmental Trust and cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank
overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a
component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they originated. All other
financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The difference between the amount received and the amount recognised at fair value on initial recognition, is recognised as a
fair value gain or loss in profit and loss (excluding loans with a shareholder).
For loans and borrowings with a shareholder, refer to note 4.22, Transactions with a shareholder.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting
The Group held derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated
from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the
embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would
meet the definition of a derivative, and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and
hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the
methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at
the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be
“highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the year for
which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. For a cash
flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to
variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described
below.
Cash flow hedges
When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the
effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in
the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss in the same
period as the hedged cash flows affects profit or loss under the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income
as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or
loss.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the
designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the
forecast transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised
in other comprehensive income is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. If the
forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is reclassified immediately
to profit or loss. In other cases the amount reclassified in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the same
period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.
Separate embedded derivatives
Changes in the fair value of separated embedded derivatives are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Other derivatives
When a derivative financial instrument is not held for trading purposes and is not designated in a qualifying hedge relationship, all
changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(iv) Share capital
Common shares
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share
options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Preference share capital
Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, redeemable for a fixed number of the Company’s
shares, or redeemable only at the Company’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognised
as distributions within equity upon approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Preference share capital is classified as a financial liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the
holders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognised as finance expense in profit or loss as
accrued.
Treasury shares
Shares issued to subsidiaries are reflected as treasury shares on consolidation.
4.5 Accounting for borrowing costs
In respect of borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets, the Group capitalises borrowing costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset.
4.6 Property, plant and equipment
Mining assets, including mine development cost and infrastructure costs, mine plant facilities and buildings are measured at
historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Mining assets are capitalised to capital work-in-progress and transferred to mining property, plant and equipment when the
mining venture reaches commercial production.
Capitalised mine development and infrastructure costs include expenditure incurred to develop new mining operations and to
expand the capacity of the mine to the extent that it gives rise to future economic benefit. Costs include borrowing costs
capitalised during the construction period where qualifying expenditure is financed by borrowings, the cost of materials and
direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use as well as an
estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Items of mining
property, plant and equipment, excluding capitalised mine development and infrastructure costs, are depreciated on a straight -
line basis over their expected useful life. Capitalised mine development and infrastructure are depreciated on a units of
production basis. Depreciation is charged on mining assets from the date on which they are available for use.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Land Not depreciated
Mine development and infrastructure units of production
Plant and equipment 1 – 30 years
Buildings 5 – 30 years
Motor vehicles 1 – 5 years
Furniture and fittings 1 – 10 years
Items of property, plant and equipment that are withdrawn from use, or have no reasonable prospect of being recovered
through use or sale, are regularly identified and written off.
The assets' residual values, depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting
date.
Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised when it is probable that future
economic benefits from the use of the assets will be increased.
Repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised net within profit or loss.
4.7 Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is not amortised. In respect of equity accounted
investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on
such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity
accounted investee.
(ii) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include purchased software. These intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity from the intangible assets and the costs of the intangible assets can be reliably measured.
Purchased software is stated at cost less amortisation and impairment losses and is amortised on a straight line basis over its
estimated useful life of 10 years and is recognized in profit and loss. The amortisation method and estimated useful life are
reviewed at least annually.
(iii) Mineral property interests
Mineral property interests are carried at cost less impairment losses. Gains and losses on disposal of mineral property interests
are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the cost less impairment losses of the asset and are recognized
net within profit or loss.
Mineral property interests transferred between segments (subsidiaries) is recognised at the nominal amount paid. The resulting
profit or loss caused by the transfer of mineral property interests is recognised in profit or loss of the segment (subsidiar y).
4.8 Impairment of assets
(i) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at
each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using an after-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the
purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating
unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating
units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating units exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the
carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior
years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(ii) Financial assets (including receivables)
A financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, for example:
- Default or delinquency by a debtor
- Indications that a debtor will enter into bankruptcy
and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for loans and receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually
significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed
for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively
assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the
Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for
management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be
greater or less that suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its
carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest
rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired
asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
4.9 Inventories
Inventories, comprising of consumables and concentrate, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is based on the average cost of ore in stockpiles and comprises all costs incurred to the stage immediately
prior to stockpiling, including costs of extraction and crushing, as well as processing costs associated with ore stockpiles, based on
the relevant stage of production.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and
selling expenses.
4.10 Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate
entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined
contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the years during which services
are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in
future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the
year in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.
(ii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is
provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has
a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
(iii) Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee
cost, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the
awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and
non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on
the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is
measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of the share appreciation rights (SARs), which are settled in
cash, is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the period that the employees
unconditionally become entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date. Any
changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised as employee costs in profit or loss.
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity
instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments
are obtained by the Group.
(iv) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense at the earlier of when Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those
benefits and when Group recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of
the reporting date, then they are discounted.
4.11 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be
estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance expense.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required, the provision is reversed.
(i) Environmental rehabilitation provisions
Estimated environmental provisions, comprising pollution control, rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the Group’s
environmental policy taking into account current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements. The provision
for rehabilitation is recognised as and when the environmental liability arises. To the extent that the obligations relate to the
construction of an asset, they are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The effect of subsequent changes to
assumptions in estimating an obligation for which the provision was recognised as part of the cost of the asset is adjusted
against the asset. Any subsequent changes to an obligation which did not relate to the initial construction of a related asset
are recognised in profit or loss.
4.12 Platinum Producers’ Environmental Trust
Contributions to the Platinum Producers Environmental Trust are determined on the basis of the
estimated environmental obligation over the life of a mine. Contributions made are recognised in non-current investments, and
are held by the Platinum Producers’ Environmental Trust. Interest earned on monies paid to rehabilitation trust funds is
accrued on a time proportion basis and is recognised as finance income.
4.13 Revenue
Revenue arising from the sale of metals and intermediary products is recognised when the price is determinable, the product
has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been
transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. These criteria are typically met when the
concentrate reaches the smelter.
Revenue from the sale of metals and intermediary products in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair va lue of
the consideration received or receivable. Revenue further excludes value-added tax and mining royalties.
4.14 Lease payments
(i) Operating leases - Lessor
Operating lease income is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset
and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Income for leases is disclosed
under other income in profit or loss.
(ii) Operating leases - Lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between
the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease liability. This liability
is not discounted.
Any contingent rents are expensed in the period they are incurred.
4.15 Investment income and finance expense
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and interest received on loans and receivables. Interest
income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, dividends on preference
shares classified as liabilities and gains/losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing costs
that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or
loss using the effective interest method.
Cash flows from dividends and interest received are classified under operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.
4.16 Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to
the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income .
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax also
includes any tax arising from dividends.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary
differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the group controls
the timing of the revrsal of the temporary difference and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In
addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their ta x assets and
liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent tha t it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
4.17 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss
attributable to owners of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for
own shares held and for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which include share options granted to employees.
4.18 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All
operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (who is considered the
chief operating decision maker) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance,
and for which discrete financial information is available.
4.19 Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to determination of the feasibility of mining operations are expensed as
incurred. Re-imbursement of previously expensed exploration and evaluation costs are recognised as other income in profit
or loss.
Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued for mineral
property interests pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreements. These costs will be amortised over the estimated life of the
property following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse, or when an
impairment of value has been determined to have occurred.
4.20 Non-current assets held for sale or distribution
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale
or distribution rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or distribution. Immediately before classification as
held for sale or distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal group are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell. An impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and
liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories and deferred tax assets, which continue to be
measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale or distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are
recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Once classified as held for sale or distribution, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or
depreciated.
4.21 Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the employee share options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs
include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average
historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the
instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free
interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are
not taken into account in determining fair value.
The fair value of the cash-settled SARs is measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Measurement inputs include
share price on measurement date, strike price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic
volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), vesting, expiry and exercise dates, expected
dividends and the risk free interest rate (based on the Bond Exchange of South Africa).
4.22 Transaction with a shareholder
When a transaction is with a shareholder at terms and conditions that would not be expected from a third part y, it is clear that
either the company or the shareholder obtained a benefit because of the shareholder relationship. This benefit is recognised
directly in equity.
In respect of loans with shareholders, the difference between the loan received and the amount recognised at fair value on initial
recognition, is recognised as a fair value gain or loss directly in equity.
In respect of loans with shareholders, the difference between the loan settled and the amount recognized at fair value on
settlement date, is recognised as a fair value gain or loss directly in equity.

5. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the
following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in
the notes specific to that asset or liability.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values
are recognized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follow s:
- Level 1: Quote prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2: inputs other than quote prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly ( i.e.
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability to the entire measurement lowest level input that is si gnificant
might be categorized in different levels of fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in
the same level of fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
5.1 Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of items of property, plant and equipment, acquired in a business combination is based on the market approach
using market prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar items when available and
replacement cost when appropriate.
The fair value of mining rights included in property, plant and equipment acquired as part of a business combination is
determined using the multi-year excess earnings method, whereby the subject asset is valued after deducting a fair return on all
other assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.
5.2 Mineral property interest
The fair value of mineral property interests acquired in a business combination is determined using a market comparative
approach. In applying a market comparative approach, a selection of appropriate historic transactions is used to determine an
average transaction value.
5.3 Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market
rate of interest at the reporting date.
5.4 Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of
interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.
6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate
risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed
regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management
standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees
understand their roles and obligations.
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- credit risk
- liquidity risk
- interest rate risk
- foreign currency risk
- commodity price risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are
included throughout these consolidated financial statements.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers, and cash and equivalents.
Management has evaluated treasury counterparty risk and does not expect any treasury counterparties to fail in meeting their
obligations.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables represents sale of concentrate to Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (“RPM”) in terms of a concentrate off-
take agreement. The carrying value represents the maximum credit risk exposure. The Group has no collateral against these
receivables. The terms of the receivables are 60 days and therefore require no impairment.
100% of the Group’s revenue is generated in South Africa from sale of concentrate by Bokoni Platinum Mines Proprietary Limited
(“Bokoni Mine”) to RPM.
Cash and cash equivalents
At times when the Group’s cash position is positive, cash deposits are made with financial institutions having superior local credit
ratings.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group ensures that
there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from
operations and the Group’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. This is facilitated via the Senior Term Facility, as
amended on 26 September 2012 and settled on 13 December 2013, the New Senior Facility and the Working Capital Facility
entered into on 13 December 2013. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in business accounts which are
available on demand.
An alternative funding arrangement was entered into with RPM whereby an advance on the Purchase of Concentrate revenue
(“Advance”) on the concentrate sales made to RPM by Bokoni was provided. This arrangement was available from 1 November
2013 until 30 November 2014 and has been extended to 31 March 2015.
The Group operates in South Africa and is subject to currency exchange controls administered by the South African Reserve
Bank (“SARB”). South African law provides for exchange control regulations that restrict the export of capital. The exchange
control regulations, which are administered by SARB, regulate transactions involving South African residents, including legal
entities, and limit a South African company's ability to borrow from and repay loans to non-residents and to provide guarantees
for the obligations of its affiliates with regard to funds obtained from non-residents.
A portion of the Company's funding for its South African operations consist of loans advanced to its South African subsidiari es
from subsidiaries that are non-residents of South Africa. The Company is in compliance with SARB regulations and is therefore
not subject to restrictions on the ability of its South African subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company or to other sub sidiaries.
In addition, the SARB has introduced various measures in recent years to relax the exchange controls in South Africa to entice
foreign investment in the country. However, if more burdensome exchange controls were proposed or adopted by the SARB in
the future, or if the Company was unable to comply with existing SARB regulations, such exchange control regulations could
restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to repatriate funds needed to effectively finance the Company’s
operations.
The maturity profile of the contractual undiscounted cash flows of financial instruments, including scheduled interest payments
on loans and borrowings, at 31 December were as follows:

(iii) Interest rate risk
As a result of the Group acquiring the Bokoni business during 2009, the Group had secured loan facilities with Standard
Chartered Bank plc (“Standard Chartered”) and RPM. Standard Chartered provided a loan of $50.7 million (ZAR500 million)
and RPM provided a loan of $48.6 million (ZAR480 million) to the Group which was subject to interest rate risk. On 28 April
2011, the Standard Chartered loan was ceded to RPM with revisions to certain terms of the loan including a reduction in the
interest rate to 3 month JIBAR plus 4% (9.585% at 31 December 2011) from a 3 month JIBAR plus applicable margin (4.5%)
and mandatory cost (1.27%) (refer to note18).
The Group previously entered into an interest rate swap arrangement with Standard Chartered to fix the variable interest rate on
$50.7 million (ZAR500 million) of the principal amount of the loan at 14.695% which arrangement was settled on 28 April 2011
with funding obtained from RPM. This funding has the same terms as the debt ceded to RPM and is also subject to interest rate
risk.
On 28 September 2012, Atlatsa entered into an Amendment and Interim Implementation Agreement pursuant to which Atlatsa
implemented the first phase of the broader restructuring, recapitalization and refinancing transaction, which was first announced by
Atlatsa in a news release dated February 2, 2012.The first phase of the Restructure Plan involved an amendment to the terms of
the Senior Term Loan Facilities Agreement (now a consolidated facility) dated June 12, 2009 between Plateau, as borrower and
RPM, as lender to increase the total loan facility available by approximately $268.4 million (ZAR2.65 billion). The additional loan
proceeds were used to repay the existing OCSF and fund share subscriptions by Plateau into Bokoni Platinum Holdings
Proprietary Limited (“Bokoni Holdco”) and by Bokoni Holdco into Bokoni Mine (the “Share Subscriptions”) for the purpose of
repayment of certain existing loan facilities by Plateau, Bokoni Holdco and Bokoni Mine.
The interest rate payable on the debt owing has been reduced to an annual effective rate of 5.98% (linked to JIBAR), which was
5.22% at 31 December 2013) compared to 6.27% at the end of Fiscal 2012. These revised loans are also subject to interest rate
risk.
The method used in the sensitivity analysis is to assume a change in basis points. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate
at 31 December 2013 on the RPM loans would have changed the profit/(loss) and equity for the year by approximately
$1,294,102 (2012: $2,478,813) and a 100 basis point decrease by ($1,276,489) (2012: ($3,694,508)). This analysis
assumes that all other variables remain constant.
(iv) Foreign currency risk
The Group, from time to time, enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services denominated in
foreign currency. As a result, the Group is subject to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The
Group has not entered into any derivative or other financial instruments to mitigate this foreign exchange risk.
Within the Group, certain loans between Group entities amounting to $50.0 million (2012: $50.6 million) are exposed to foreign
exchange fluctuations. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is to assume a change in the $/ZAR exchange rate. The
closing ZAR to $ exchange rate for the year ending 31 December 2013 was ZAR9.87 (2012:ZAR8.53). A 10% change in the
$/ZAR exchange rate at 31 December 2013 would have resulted in an increase/decrease of $5.0 million (2012: $5.1 million) in
profit/(loss) and equity. The Group has no significant external exposure to foreign exchange risk. All loans and borrowings are
denominated in ZAR (refer note 18).
(v) Commodity price risk
The value of the Group’s revenue and resource properties depends on the prices of PGM’s and their outlook. The Group
does not hedge its exposure to commodity price risk. PGM prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by
numerous factors outside of the Group’s control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, forward sales by
producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, and short-term changes in supply and demand because of hedging
activities.
The Group revenue amounts to $195,621,452 (ZAR1,828,237,870) and is exposed to commodity price fluctuations. The method
used in the sensitivity analysis is to assume a change in the 4E basket price. A 10% change in the 4E basket price at 31
December 2013 would have resulted in an increase/decrease of $19.6 million in profit or loss and equity.
(vi) Capital risk management
The primary objective of managing the Group’s capital is to ensure that there is sufficient capital available to support the funding
and operating requirements of the Group in a way that optimises the cost of capital, maximizes shareholders’ returns, matches
the current strategic business plan and ensures that the Group remains in a sound financial position.
The Group manages and makes adjustments to the capital structure which consists of debt and equity as and when borrowings
mature or when funding is required. This may take the form of raising equity, market or bank debt or hybrids thereof. The Group
may also adjust the amount of dividends paid, sell assets to reduce debt or schedule projects to manage the capital structure .
Atlatsa ’s ability to raise new equity in the equity capital markets is subject to the mandatory requirement that Atlatsa Holdings
Proprietary Limited (“Atlatsa Holdings”) (formerly Pelawan Investments Proprietary Limited), its majority Black Economic
Empowerment (“BEE “) shareholder, retain a 51% fully diluted shareholding in the Company up until 1 January 2015, as required
by covenants given by Atlatsa Holdings and Atlatsa in favour of the Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”), the SARB and
Anglo Platinum.
During the year the Group entered into an Advance on concentrate sales agreement to manage capital risk. (Please refer to
liquidity risk section). There were no other changes to the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

The recoverable amount of mining assets and goodwill reviewed for impairment is determined based on value-in-use calculations.
All mining assets and goodwill are allocated to one cash-generating-unit (“CGU”). Key assumptions relating to this valuation
include the discount rate and cash flows used to determine the value-in-use. Future cash flows are estimated based on financial
budgets approved by management which is based on the mine’s life-of-mine plan. Management determines the expected
performance of the mine based on past performance and its expectations of market developments which are incorporated into a
life-of-mine plan.
Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculation of the impairment assessment of mining assets were the following:
- Life-of-mine – 39 years (2012: 31 years)
- South African real discount rate – 10.97% (2012: 9.64%)
- Range of PGM prices – based on market expectations. Initial price of US$1,551/oz (2012: US$1,735/oz) for platinum in
2014.
- Range of ZAR/US$ exchange rates – based on market expectations. Initial exchange rate of ZAR9.44/US$ used in 2014
- Production of 4E ounces starts at 214,245 (2012: 197,101) ounces in 2014, building up to 374,327 (2012: 412,000)
ounces in 2029 and gradually scales down towards the end of the life of mine.

The intangible asset relates to the implementation of a SAP system throughout the Group during 2011. The asset is amortised on
a straight line basis over ten years.
Change in estimate
On 31 May 2013, management assessed the remaining useful life of the SAP system and identified that the remaining useful
life on 31 May 2013 was 10 years.
- this was done to bring the period over which the SAP system is amortised in line with the actual remaining useful life over
which the SAP system will be used.
- the remaining useful life at the beginning of the year was therefore 10 years and 5 months.
The change in useful life of the SAP system had the following impact on amortisation, included in Cost of Sales:
2013 Later
(Decrease)/increase in Amortisation (326,350) 326,350
It is impractical to determine what the difference in future periods will be, as we do not know what the future exchange rates will
be and therefore cannot determine the split between amortisation and exchange rate differences.

50,923,840 (215,470,758)
The terms and conditions for the outstanding borrowings at 31 December 2013 are as follows:
Senior Term Loan Facility (subsequently recognised as part of the “Consolidated facility”)
On 28 April 2011, the Senior Term Loan Facility with Standard Chartered Bank (“SCB”) and FirstRand Bank acting through its
division, Rand Merchant Bank (“RMB”) was ceded to Anglo Platinum through its subsidiary, RPM. The outstanding interest rate
swap was settled with funding obtained from RPM.
The debt ceded to RPM had similar terms as the Senior Term Loan Facility except for certain revisions. The revised terms of the
loan was a reduction in the interest rate from a 3 month JIBAR plus applicable margin (4.5%) and mandatory cost (11.735% at 31
December 2010) to 3 month JIBAR plus 4% (9.575% at 31 December 2011). The total facility had also been increased from $94.4
million (ZAR750 million) to $117.1 million (ZAR930 million). The commencement of re-payments was then deferred by one year
from 31 January 2013 to 31 January 2014.
On 28 September 2012, Atlatsa entered into an Amendment and Interim Implementation Agreement pursuant to which Atlatsa
implemented the first phase of the broader restructuring, recapitalization and refinancing transaction, which was first announced by
Atlatsa in a news release dated 2 February 2012.
The first phase of the Restructure Plan involved an amendment to the terms of the Senior Term Loan Facilities Agreement (now a
consolidated facility) dated 12 June 2009 between Plateau, as borrower and RPM, as lender to increase the total loan facility
available by approximately $268.4 million (ZAR2.65 billion). The additional loan proceeds were used to repay the existing OCSF
and fund share subscriptions by Plateau into Bokoni Holdco and by Bokoni Holdco into Bokoni Mine (the “Share Subscriptions”) for
the purpose of repayment of certain existing loan facilities by Plateau, Bokoni Holdco and Bokoni Mine.
The interest rate payable on the debt owing was reduced to an annual effective rate of 6.27% (linked to the 3-month JIBAR) from
the current effective rate of 12.31%. Due to the significant change in the terms of the loan, the Senior Term Loan Facility was
derecognised and a new loan recognised at fair value – the Consolidated facility.
On 27 March 2013, as part of Phase Two of the Restructure Plan, RPM agreed to make additional facilities available to the
Company when, amongst other things, the conditions precedent to such draw downs were met. Due to the delay in the conditions
precedent being met, on 28 May 2013, the parties signed an Amendment Agreement, making available $21.8 million (ZAR215.7
million) of the additional facilities.
On 12 December 2013, the conditions precedent were met and on 13 December 2013, the Consolidated facility was repaid and
the additional facilities were made available under the New Senior Facility. The repayment terms of the New Senior Debt Facility
include quarterly cash sweeps when cash is available with the debt to be reduced to $101.3 million by 31 December 2018, $50.7
million by 31 December 2019 and fully repaid by 31 December 2020.
The covenants relating to the New Senior Facility were waived by RPM until 31 December 2014.
RPM - Funding Loans (subsequently recognised as part of the “Consolidated facility”)
This loan was between RPM and Bokoni Holdco and consisted of the retention of the original RPM loans for an amount of $56.3
million (ZAR480.3 million)
As a result of the changes to the Senior Term Loan Facility, the commencement of the repayments of the $56.3 million was also
deferred by one year from 31 January 2013 to 31 January 2014 and is payable in semi-annual instalments. The unpaid principal
balance would bear interest at the interest rate and on the same terms as the revised Senior Term Loan Facility ceded by SCB to
Anglo Platinum. The total facility had also been increased from $84.4 million (ZAR720 million) to $104.7 million (ZAR893 million).
On 28 September 2012, the loan was derecognised as a result of the significant change in the terms of the loan and a new loan
was recognised at fair value – called the Consolidated facility.
RPM – OCSF (subsequently recognised as part of the “Consolidated facility”)
Under the Operating Cash flow Shortfall Facility (“OCSF”), if funds are requested by Bokoni (and authorised by Bokoni Holdco),
RPM shall advance such funds directly to Bokoni. At 31 December 2012, $200.8 million (ZAR1.71 billion) of the available $252.8
million (ZAR2.16 billion) has been advanced by RPM. The remaining facility may be utilised only for the purposes of operating or
capital expenditure cash shortfalls at Bokoni. In addition, RPM has extended the terms of the OCSF facility to fund cash shortfalls
up to 31 January 2013.
The OCSF Loan was originally payable in semi-annual instalments starting 31 January 2013 to the extent cash is available after
payment of the Senior Term Facility and the RPM funding loan. The unpaid principal balance on the OCSF will bear interest at a
fixed rate of 15.84%, compounded quarterly in arrears. Based on the revised terms on the Senior Facility with RPM, repayment will
also be deferred by one year from 31 January 2013 to 31 January 2014.
On 28 September 2012, the loan was derecognised as a result of the significant change in the terms of the loan and a new loan
was recognised at fair value – called the Consolidated facility
RPM – New Senior Debt Facility
As at 13 December, 2013, the facility under the New Senior Facilities Agreement is $233 million (ZAR2,300 million).
On 13 December 2013 with the implementation of Phase II of the restructure plan, the Consolidated Facility was converted to the
New Senior Debt facility and one of the implementation steps was to make a repayment under the consolidated facility by drawing
down on the New Senior Debt facility, to give effect to the revised terms of the facility. .
The repayment terms of the New Senior Debt Facility, includes quarterly cash sweeps, when cash is available. Atlatsa will be
required to reduce the New Senior Debt Facility owing to RPM to an outstanding balance (including capitalized interest) of
$101.3 million (ZAR1 billion) as at 31 December 2018, and $50.7 million (ZAR500 million) as at 31 December 2019 and zero
at 31 December 2020.
RPM – Working Capital Facility
On 13 December 13, 2013, Plateau and RPM entered into a Working Capital Facility whereby RPM will make a maximum of $3.0
million (ZAR30 million) per year available to Plateau during each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 for an aggregate facility of $9.1 million
(ZAR90 million), including capitalized interest to fund Atlatsa’s corporate and administrative expenses through to 2015.
Pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Facility, interest will be charged on the outstanding amounts of the Working Capital
Facility at a three-month JIBAR plus 4% per annum. The balance of the Working Capital Facility cannot exceed $9.1 million
(ZAR90 million) at any time. Atlatsa cannot pay any dividends until the Working Capital Facility is fully repaid. The Working Capital
Facility will be repayable in full by 31 December, 2018.
The Company was not entitled to the Working Capital Facility until, amongst other things, the conditions precedent to implement
Phase Two had been met (which were only met on 12 December, 2013).
Prior to implementation of Phase Two of the Restructure Plan and as an interim measure pursuant to closing of the Restructure
Plan, the parties agreed to a Transaction Cost Loan Agreement, as signed and implemented on 28 May, 2013. A facility of $2.3
million (ZAR22.5 million) was made available under this agreement. The additional facility of $11.1 million (ZAR110 million) under
the Amendment Agreement, implemented on 28 May, 2013 was inclusive of the $2.3 million (ZAR22.5 million) provided for under
the Transaction Cost Loan Agreement.
As at 30 September, 2013 a draw down of $0.7 million (ZAR7 million) was made under the Transaction Cost Loan Agreement. On
13 December, 2013 the $0.7 million (ZAR7 million) inclusive of interest was repaid from the draw down on the Working Capital
Facility.
Please refer to the going concern note for further information regarding the Working Capital facility.
RPM – Interest-free loan
This loan is between RPM and Bokoni Holdco. The loan is interest-free and repayable 12 months and 1 day after requested by
RPM.
RPM – Shareholder loan
The treatment of this shareholder’s loan is to be decided by the Bokoni Holdco Board of Directors as per the Bokoni Holdco
Shareholders Agreement. This loan bears no interest and no repayment terms.
Other
This loan is between Plateau and the Deloitte Mining Shared Service Centre (“DMSSC”) relating to the financing of the SAP
system (refer note 9). The loan bears interest at prime (8.5% at 31 December 2013) plus 2% and is payable in quarterly
instalments starting 31 March 2011.
Security
The Senior Term Loan Facility was secured through various security instruments, guarantees and undertakings provided by the
Group against 51% of the cash flows generated by the Bokoni Mine, together with 51% of the Bokoni Mine asset base. The New
Senior Facility is secured in the same manner as the Senior Term Loan Facility. Refer note 37 for events after the reporting date.
The Group’s debt is denominated in ZAR, which is translated to the presentation currency of the Company.

24. FAIR VALUE GAIN ON CONSOLIDATED FACILITY
In the prior year, Atlatsa and Anglo Platinum announced the completion of the first phase (“Phase One”) of the restructure plan for
the refinancing, recapitalisation and restructure of the Group. In terms of Phase One of the Restructure Plan, the Senior Term
Loan Facility Agreement dated 12 June 2009 between the Company as borrower, and RPM as lender, was amended to increase
the total amount available, and this amount was utilised to repay the amounts owed to RPM under the Operating Cash Shortfall
Facility (“OCSF”).
Atlatsa and RPM subscribed for ordinary share capital in Bokoni Holdco ($205.5 million and $19.5 million respectively) and the
proceeds were used to redeem the existing “A” Preference Share Facility that was outstanding to RPM. These transactions
resulted in all outstanding debt owing to RPM being consolidated into one single facility (the “Consolidated Debt Facility”) on terms
and conditions agreed between the parties, including an interest rate adjustment, which lowered the Company’s cost of borrowing
from an effective annual cash flow interest rate of 12,31% to 6.27% (linked to the 3 month JIBAR rate – 5.13% at 31 December
2012).
As a result of this debt consolidation and associated interest rate adjustment the Company has recognised a fair value gain of
$90.6 million (ZAR 742.5 million) in its 2012 financial statements, representing the fair value difference between the Company’s
new costs of borrowing under the Consolidated Debt Facility when compared to a market related cost of borrowing available to the
Company.
On 13 December 2013 Atlatsa and Anglo Platinum announced the completion of the Phase Two of the restructure plan for the
refinancing, recapitalisation and restructure of the Group. In terms of Phase Two of the Restructure Plan, the New Senior Debt
Facility between the Company as borrower, and RPM as lender, was amended to increase the total amount available, and this
amount was utilised to repay the amounts owed to RPM under the Consolidated Debt Facility.
As a result of this debt consolidation and associated interest rate adjustment, the Company has recognised fair value gains and
AG8 adjustments of $47,9 million (ZAR448.6 million) in its 2013 financial statements, representing the fair value difference
between the Company’s new costs of borrowing under the New Senior Debt Facility compared to a market related cost of
borrowing available to the Company.

32. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has two reportable segments as described below. These segments are managed separately based on the nature of
operations. For each of the segments, the Group’s CEO (the Group’s chief operating decision maker) reviews internal
management reports monthly. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
- Bokoni Mine - Mining of PGM’s.
- Projects - Mining exploration in Boikgantsho, Kwanda, and Ga-Phasha exploration projects. Please refer to note 10 for
the sale of mineral rights.
The majority of operations and functions are performed in South Africa. An insignificant portion of administrative functions are
performed in the Company’s country of domicile.
The CEO considers earnings before net finance expense, income tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) to be an
appropriate measure of each segment’s performance. Accordingly, the EBITDA for each segment has been included. All
external revenue is generated by the Bokoni Mine segment.

33. SHARE OPTIONS
33.1 Equity-settled options
The Group has a share option plan approved by the shareholders that allows it to grant options, subject to regulatory terms and
approval, to its directors, employees, officers, and consultants to acquire up to 32,600,000 (2012: 32,600,000) common shares. As
at 31 December 2013, 5,110,000 options were outstanding and 27,490,000 options remained available to be granted. On 30 June
2009 the Company obtained shareholder and stock exchange approval to decrease the exercise price to C$1.29 per option for
8,061,000 share options, including stock options granted to certain insiders of the Company pursuant to repricing. The exercise
price of each option is set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant but cannot be less than the market price (less permissible
discounts) on the TSX Venture Exchange. Options have a term of up to a maximum of ten years (however, the Company has
historically granted options for up to a term of five years), and terminate 30 to 90 days following the termination of the op tionee’s
employment or term of engagement, except in the case of retirement or death. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Board
of Directors at the time the options are granted. The continuity of share purchase options is as follows:
Contractual

Balance - 31 December 2011 $ 1.11 12,162,667 2.89

Balance – 31 December 2013 $ 0.93 5,110,000 2.24
Options outstanding and exercisable at 31 December 2013 were as follows:
Number of Number of Weighted
options options average life
Expiry date Option price outstanding vested (years)
25 June 2014 $ 0.96 550,000 550,000 0.5

Total 5,110,000 5,110,000
Weighted average exercise price $ 0.93 $ 0.93
The exercise prices of all share purchase options granted during the year were equal to or greater than the market price at the
grant date. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions noted below, the estimated fair value of all options
granted have been reflected in the statement of changes in equity.
The share-based payments expense recognised during the year ended 31 December 2013 was $21,783 (2012: $309,769; 2011:
$1,156,036).
The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year were:
2013 2012 2011
Canadian risk- free interest rate 2.8% 2.8% 2.8%
Expected life 5-7 years 5-7 years 5- 7 years
Volatility 83% 83% 83%
Forfeiture rate 0% 0% 0%
Expected dividends Nil Nil Nil
The volatility of the shares was calculated over the expected life of the option. Volatility was calculated by using available historical
information on the share price for Atlatsa equal to the expected life of the scheme.
The risk free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share right is based on the Government of Canada benchmark bond
yield.
33.2 Cash-settled share-based payments
The Group also currently has a scheme in place to award SARs to recognise the contributions of senior staff to the Group’s
financial position and performance and to retain key employees. These SARs are linked to the share price of the Group on the JSE
and are settled in cash on the exercise date.
A third of the SARs granted are exercisable annually from the grant date with an expiry date of 4 years from the grant date for
senior management and 5 years for lower and middle management. The offer price of these SARs equaled the closing market
price of the underlying shares on the trading date immediately preceding the granting of the SARs.

Total number of shares unvested 15,166,658 15,327,601 6,294,869
The value of the SARs expensed in the year ended 31 December 2013 was calculated as $1,024,512 (2012: $nil; 2011: $437,152;
2010: $947,176). Value of vested shares in 2013 was $368,828
The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the SARS granted during the year were:
South African risk-free rate 5.0% - 7.3% 4.9% - 5.8% 6.4%
Volatility 88% - 113% 82% - 106% 85.1%
Share Price 0.50 0.15 0.45
Weighted average exercise price 0.23 0.23 0.55
Forfeiture rate 0% 0% 0%
Expected dividends Nil Nil Nil
The only vesting conditions for the scheme are that the employees should be in the employment of the Group.
The volatility of the shares were calculated with the equally weighted standard approach of calculating volatility by using available
historical information on the share price for Atlatsa equal to the term to maturity of the scheme.
The risk free rates were obtained from the bootstrapped zero coupon perfect fit swap curve as at 31 December 2013, sourced from
the Bond Exchange of South Africa
33.3 Equity settled - Bokoni Platinum Mine ESOP Trust
Prior to the acquisition of Bokoni on 1 July 2009, certain employees of Bokoni were part of the Anglo Group Employee
Empowerment Scheme (“Kotula Scheme”). When Atlatsa acquired Bokoni, Anglo Platinum and Atlatsa replaced the Kotula
Scheme with the Bokoni Platinum Mine ESOP Trust (“ESOP Trust”), which has similar participation benefits to the Kotula Scheme.
The purpose of the ESOP Trust scheme is to incentivize and retain employees, promote BEE and increase broad-based and
effective participation in the equity of Atlatsa by historically disadvantaged persons.
The ESOP Trust holds and utilises ordinary shares in Atlatsa (refer note 17) for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
Any units that the employees held in the Kotula Scheme were exchanged into units in the ESOP Trust at a ratio of 15 units in the
ESOP Trust for every Kotula unit held. The remaining units in the ESOP Trust are allocated to the employees in five equal annual
installments beginning 31 March 2010 and for the next four years thereafter. Employees will receive an equal allocation of units.
Any units held by a beneficiary that are forfeited shall be added back to the number of unallocated units available for future
allocation.
The ESOP Trust shall dispose of the shares held in Atlatsa to the beneficiaries as follows:
- One third vested in proportion to the beneficiaries units on 16 May 2013;
- Half of the remaining balance of ordinary shares will vest in proportion to their interest on 16 May 2014; and
- The remaining balance of ordinary shares will vest in proportion to their interest on 16 May 2015.
The trustees (acting as agent on behalf of the beneficiaries) shall dispose of and sell as many shares as will be necessary to settle
all taxes payable by the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries may also direct the trustees to sell the distribution shares on behalf of the
beneficiaries and the proceeds of such sale, net of all expenses, shall be distributed to the beneficiaries.
If a beneficiary’s employment is terminated due to death, retrenchment, retirement, disability or ill-health, Bokoni will pay a cash
amount equal to the fair value of the beneficiary’s units to the beneficiary who will then cease to be a beneficiary of the ESOP
Trust. The units will be transferred to Bokoni who will become a beneficiary of the ESOP Trust. Where the beneficiary’s
employment is terminated prior to the termination date for any other reason, the beneficiary shall forfeit all his rights under the
scheme. The forfeited units will be added back to the number of unallocated units for future allocation.
At 31 December the following units were allocated:
2013 2012 2011
Total units available for allocation 70,000,000 70,000,000 70,000,000

$984,002).
34. CONTINGENCIES
Deep Groundwater Pollution
The company has identified a future pollution risk posed by deep groundwater in certain underground shafts. Various studies
have been undertaken by Bokoni Mine since 2012. In view of the documentation of current information for the accurate estimation
of the liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the obligation.
35. RELATED PARTIES
Relationships
Related party Nature of relationship
RPM The Group concluded a number of shared services agreements between Bokoni
and RPM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo Platinum and a 49% shareholder in
Bokoni Holdco. Pursuant to the terms of various shared services agreements, the
Anglo Platinum group of companies will continue to provide certain services to
Bokoni at a cost that is no greater than the costs charged to any other Anglo
Platinum group company for the same or similar services. It is anticipated that,
as Atlatsa builds its internal capacity, and makes the transformation to a fully
operational PGM producer, these services will be phased out and replaced either
with internal services or third party services. RPM also provides debt funding to
the Group and purchases all of the Group’s PGM concentrate.
Atlatsa Holdings Atlatsa Holdings is the Company’s controlling shareholder.
Key management All directors directly involved in the Atlatsa Group and certain members of top
management at Bokoni and Plateau.

37. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
In January 2014, the Restructure Plan was finalised by completing the following:
- Pelawan SPV converted all of its “B” Preference Shares in Plateau into 227.4 million common shares in the Company
on January 14, 2014; RPM in turn converted its “B” Preference shares in Pelawan SPV for 115.8 million of the 227.4
million Atlatsa shares; and
- RPM subscribed for 125 million common shares of the Company on January 31, 2014 to the value of $76.0 million
(ZAR750.0 million).
The above subscription reduced the New Senior Debt Facility to $157.0 million (ZAR1,550 million).
Atlatsa Holdings, the Company’s majority shareholder acquired the 115.8 million Atlatsa common shares that RPM received on
conversion of the “B” Preference shares from RPM on a vendor financed basis for $46.9 million (ZAR463 million).
Atlatsa Holdings will provide security to RPM in relation to the Atlatsa Holdings Vendor Finance Loan by way of a pledge and
cession of its entire shareholding in Atlatsa, which shares remain subject to a lock-in arrangement through to 2020. Should
Atlatsa Holdings be unable to meet its minimum repayment commitments under the Atlatsa Holdings Vendor Finance Loan
between 2018 to 2020, Atlatsa will have a discretionary right, with no obligation, to step in and remedy such obligation in order to
protect its BEE (as defined below) shareholding status, subject to commercial terms being agreed between Atlatsa Holdings and
Atlatsa for that purpose and receipt of the necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

41. HEADLINE AND DILUTED HEADLINE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Headline earnings per share is calculated by dividing headline earnings attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted headline earnings per share is determined by adjusting the
headline earnings attributable to owners of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.
Headline earnings per share
The calculation of headline earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2013 of (10 cents) (2012: (4 cents); 2011: (19
cents)) is based on headline loss of $43,783,633 (2012: $18,717,258; 2011: $81,589,746) and a weighted average number of
shares of 426,290,431 (2012: 424,791,411; 2011: 424,783,603).
The following adjustments to profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the Company were taken into account in the calculation of
headline loss attributable to owners of the Company:
2013 2012 2011
Gross Net
Profit/(Loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company 199,492,438 (18,717,839) (81,928,814)

*No gross and net numbers shown in 2012 and 2011 as the adjustments were immaterial
Diluted headline earnings per share
The calculation of diluted headline earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2013 of (10 cents) (2012: (4 cents); 2011:
(19 cents)) is based on headline loss of $43,783,633 (2012: $18,717,258; 2011: $81,589,746) and a weighted average number of
shares of 429,288,473 (2012: 424,791,411; 2011: 424,783,603).
At 31 December 2013 share options were excluded in determining diluted weighted average number of common shares as all the
options were significantly undervalued and were not exercised. (2012 and 2011, share options were excluded in determining
diluted weighted average number of common shares as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.)
