* The (loss)/earnings and the headline (loss)/earnings per ordinary 
share are calculated by dividing the (loss)/earnings and the headline 
(loss)/earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in 
issue during the year. The diluted (loss)/earnings and the diluted 
headline (loss)/earnings per ordinary share are calculated by 
dividing the diluted (loss)/earnings and the diluted headline (loss)/
earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue 
and issuable during the year. Both the December 2014 and December 2013
ordinary shares in issue and weighted average number of shares in 
issue, as well as the (loss)/earnings and the headline (loss)/earnings 
per ordinary share, have been calculated after taking the share 
consolidation of 50:1, which was approved by shareholders on 
27 February 2013 and became effective on 29 April 2013, into account.

2. Goodwill
The goodwill of R418,7 million arose from the acquisition of the
remaining interests in Abalengani Mining Investments Proprietary 
Limited (“AMI”) and JB Platinum Holdings Proprietary Limited 
(“JBPH”) by the Company in 2010. AMI and JBPH respectively hold
49,63% and 33,96% in Kilken Platinum Proprietary Limited 
(“Kilken”) as their only investments. The carrying amount as at 
31 December 2014 has been tested for impairment and the Board is 
satisfied that no impairment is required for the year ended 
31 December 2014.

4. Derivative financial liability
In 2012 Kilken entered into a hedge agreement for 30% of its cash 
flow from the production revenue of platinum, palladium and gold in 
favour of a financier in line with its funding requirements. The 
hedge mitigates the cash flow risk related to commodity price 
fluctuations and movements in the ZAR/USD exchange rate in order to 
repay the funding facility to the financier.

In accordance with IAS 39, the cash flow hedge was recognised as a 
hedging instrument at fair value for the first time in the statement 
of financial position at 31 December 2012, without taking account of 
any collateral held or other credit enhancements over the remainder 
of the hedge contract term which started on 1 September 2012 and 
will end on 30 September 2018.

For the year ended 31 December 2014, a R13,5 million gain (2013: 
R20,9 million loss) after deferred tax has been recognised in other 
comprehensive income and a decrease in the cash flow hedge reserve of 
R11,3 million, net of non-controlling interests, in the statement of 
financial position. The loss realised and netted off against the 
revenue for the year was R18,1 million for the year ended 
31 December 2014(2013: R11,2 million).

The fair value of the cash flow hedge is apportioned between current 
and non-current liabilities depending on the remaining maturity 
period of the derivative contract and its contractual cash flows. 
The cash flow hedge cost will be accounted for as either a profit 
or a loss as it becomes effective and the settlements are actually 
made over the duration of the term of the hedge contract.

5. Borrowings
Total borrowings of the Group amounted to R298,0 million as at 
31 December 2014 compared to R295,5 million as at 31 December 2013, 
and can be summarised as follows:

Financial review
Andulela’s provisional results for the year ended 31 December 2014 
reflect a headline loss of R19,9 million compared to a headline 
profit of R6,2 million for the comparative year ended 31 December
2013. As a result of the extended platinum sector strike, discussed 
in more detail below, Kilken posted its first-ever net loss after 
tax since its acquisition in 2008 for the year ended 
31 December 2014 in the amount of R13,8 million compared to a profit 
of R20,0 million in 2013.

PRSM’s further strategic restructuring costs and a one-month strike 
in the steel sector resulted in the loss after tax increasing from 
R3,7 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to R6,8 million for 
the current year.

The strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar and the
relatively higher average PGM pricing at the end of 2014 had an 
overall positive effect on Kilken’s cash flow hedge position at 
year-end, resulting in a gain after deferred tax of R13,5 million 
being recognised against other comprehensive income. Kilken realised 
a net hedge settlement loss totalling R18,1 million for the year 
ended 31 December 2014 (2013: R11,2 million).

As a result of the business impact from the production interruptions 
at Kilken, management continued to aggressively manage working 
capital throughout the Group to preserve cash resources. The Group 
retained a positive net cash position of R19,5 million for the 
2014 year (2013: R35,7 million). Overall borrowing levels, however, 
remained high at R298,0 million as at December 2014 
(2013: R295,5 million) as a result of the aforementioned
production interruptions, with PRSM still being the main borrower, 
having external debt of R266,5 million as at 31 December 2014 
(2013: R281,2 million).

Notwithstanding cash constraints resulting from the production 
interruptions caused by the strikes, Andulela managed to redeem 
R8,0 million of its redeemable preference share capital
obligations during the year under review, reducing it to a balance of 
R25,4 million. Furthermore, Andulela reached an agreement with the 
holder of the preference shares (Newshelf 1005 Proprietary Limited) 
to temporarily suspend preference share capital and dividend payments 
from May 2014 until such time as Kilken attains a sustainable 
positive cash flow from normal production. This will allow the Group 
to optimally preserve its cash resources.

Kilken
The first six months of the 2014 financial year were marred by 
unprecedented and violent industry-wide labour actions in the
platinum mining sector resulting in very limited PGM production and 
tailings feed from the Amandelbult mine. There were no wage 
disagreements with Kilken’s own workforce, but the labour strike 
action at all the platinum producers had a severe impact on Kilken. 
The effect of this was significantly reduced production, revenue
and profitability compared to 2013.

Kilken experienced a slow but steady ramp-up in production after the 
strike in the second half of the year, however, it has not yet 
reached the same production output volumes as in the 2013 comparative 
period. Management anticipates that the ramp-up in production output 
from the Amandelbult plant will continue to improve to the pre-strike 
levels during the 2015 financial year. 

Kilken’s attributable revenue decreased from R91,7 million for the 
prior year ended December 2013 to R26,7 million for the current year 
ended December 2014. This resulted in a net loss after tax of 
R13,8 million for the current year compared to a profit after tax of 
R20,0 million for the 2013 financial year. Kilken, however, still 
managed to retain a positive cash balance of R14,1 million as at 
31 December 2014 (2013: R21,3 million).

Throughout the strike period Kilken continued to service the full 
interest and capital repayments of the term loan as well as its 
contractual cash flow hedge settlements from cash reserves and 
continues to service its obligations from normal operational cash 
flows.

Following upon specialist advice, management introduced capital 
expenditure acquisitions of various production control components, 
which should result in the improvement of PGM recoveries.

PRSM
Pro Roof Steel Merchants Proprietary Limited and its subsidiaries 
(“PRSM”) revenue for the year ended 31 December 2014 improved from 
R810,8 million in 2013 to R1 068,5 million. Earnings before interest, 
tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairments for the year improved 
from R28,6 million in 2013 to R28,9 million in 2014, which improved 
the cash inflow from operating activities to R25,8 million for the 
2014 financial year compared to an outflow of R12,0 million for the 
prior year.

The improvement in the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation is attributable to, inter alia, better overhead cost 
recoveries through increased volume throughput of selected 
high-demand product lines as well as improvements in production
efficiencies. The net loss after tax increased from R3,7 million in
2013 to R6,8 million in 2014 mainly due to increased non-cash flow 
items such as depreciation and impairments. Included in the net
loss after tax are non-recurring restructuring and impairment costs 
related to management’s ongoing strategic drive to improve 
efficiencies and returns amounting to R5,1 million.

PRSM’s most significant working capital changes from the prior year 
were:
i)  Inventory and accounts receivable increased by 9,25% year-on-year 
    due to increased volume of production and trading.
ii) The Reichmans Capital facility increased by R23,9 million from
    31 December 2013. However, total long-term loans reduced by 
    R38,6 million year-on-year.

Overall the domestic steel industry remains weak as a result of the 
global slowdown and this is expected to continue in the short-term. 
Management’s strategic planning and operational restructuring 
continues to contribute towards PRSM’s overall improved cash flow 
contribution and sustainability.

Events subsequent to the year-end
No events occurred subsequent to the year-end up to the date of this 
announcement which could have a material effect on the results of the 
Group or its subsidiaries.

Commitments
The Group had no outstanding capital commitments at 
31 December 2014(2013: R2,3 million).
