MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
We achieved all we set out to in the six months from 1 July 2016
to 31 December 2016. We improved our safety performance
and increased production. Safe mines are profitable mines and
profitable mines strengthen our margins.
SAFETY
Despite a significant improvement in our fatality injury frequency
rate quarter on quarter and half year on half year, it is with deep
regret that we report three fatalities in the past six months.
Our underground South African operations recorded a fatality
free quarter for the three months to December 2016, which was
a notable achievement. For the six months from 1 July 2016 to
31 December 2016, Harmony's fatality injury frequency rate
of 0.08 was lower than the previous six month period's rate of
0.10 and lower than the combined rate (0.10) for the main gold
producers in South Africa.
Tshepong achieved its first ever 2.5 million fatality-free shifts (FFS)
on 27 October 2016, equivalent to 794 days without a fatality.
Doornkop achieved its first ever 2 million FFS on 17 December
2016, which equates to 872 days free of fatalities. The Free State
Surface Sources reported 3.5 million FFS on 16 November 2016
(equivalent to 159 months without a fatality or just more than
13 years).
Important to note is that safety is being taken extremely serious
in our company. Each person is bound by our safety pledge. Our
number of white flag days is a good indication of where our safety
efforts need to increase. A white flag day is one where no one
suffered an injury at the mine during the course of one working
day.
The following operations recorded white flag (injury free) months:
- Unisel in December 2016
- Bambanani in September 2016, November 2016 and
December 2016
- Joel in October 2016
OPERATIONAL RESULTS - 6 months on 6 months
Gold production for the six months ended 31 December 2016
increased by 8% to 17 227kg (553 862 oz), compared to 15 974kg
(513 576oz) for the six months ended June 2016. All-in sustaining
costs for all operations increased by only 4% to R510 506/kg (14%
to US$1 136/oz).
Gold production increased at the following operations:
- Kusasalethu (+307kg, 9 871oz): gold production increased by
16%, mainly due to a 13% (37 000t) increase in tonnes milled,
supported by a 3% increase in the recovered grade to 6.75g/t
(June 2016: 6.55g/t)
- Bambanani (+263kg, 8 456oz): tonnes milled increased by
16% (17 000t) while the recovered grade improved by 5% to
12.03g/t (June 2016: 11.48g/t), resulting in a 22% increase in
gold produced
- Phakisa (+217kg, 6 977oz): gold production increased by 11%,
due mainly to a 6% increase in the recovered grade to 6.33g/t
(June 2016: 5.95g/t). Tonnes milled improved by 4% (14 000t)
- Joel (+212kg, 6 816oz): an 18% increase in the recovered grade
to 4.84g/t (June 2016: 4.11g/t), combined with a 2% increase
in tonnes milled, resulted in a 20% increase in gold produced.
- Unisel (+183kg, 5 884oz): a 24% increase in gold production
was due to a 15% increase in the recovered grade to 4.37g/t
(June 2016: 3.79g/t). Tonnes milled, increased by 7% or
15 000t
- Masimong (+133kg, 4 277oz): tonnes milled increased by 10%
(30 000t) and recovered grade increased by 2% to 3.72g/t (June
2016: 3.65g/t), resulting in a 12% increase in gold production
- Phoenix (+82kg, 2 637oz): gold production increased by 21%
due mainly to a 17% increase in the recovered grade to 0.14g/t
(June 2016: 0.12g/t). Tonnes milled increased 7% (231 000t)
- Kalgold (+78kg, 2 508oz) the recovered grade increased to
0.81g/t (June 2016: 0.71g/t), resulting in a 15% increase in
gold produced
- Hidden Valley: 1.2Mt were milled, an increase of 24% on the
previous six months. This was partly offset by a 17% decline in
the recovered grade to 1.15g/t, resulting in a 39kg (1 253oz)
(3%) increase in gold produced
The following operations, where production declined, require
more attention:
- Target 1 (-148kg, 4 759oz): Production was severely affected
by unstable ground conditions which hampered further mining
in the higher grade areas. The 11% decrease in gold production
was mainly due to a 17% decrease in the recovered grade to
3.00g/t (June 2016: 3.62g/t). Additional geological infill drilling
indicates that we will not meet the mine's existing plan for
FY17. We will implement a narrow reef mining method to
access the higher-grade ore, with expected production to be
about 250kg per month. To this end, a zero-based costing
exercise has begun to identify opportunities to return the mine
to profitability and to ensure an acceptable operating margin
at a reduced production profile
- Tshepong (-67kg, 2 154oz): Tonnes milled declined by 17 000t
resulting in a 3% decrease in gold production
- Doornkop (-38kg, 1 222oz): A 3% decrease in the recovered
grade to 4.16g/t (June 2016: 4.29g/t) resulted in a 3% decrease
in gold produced
HIDDEN VALLEY - progress in line with plan
Since acquiring Hidden Valley, we have made good progress in
positioning the mine for growth. Waste stripping at Stage 5 has
commenced and we have invested in additional and replacement
mobile fleet (9 additional mining trucks were ordered). We are
currently processing the Hamata ore and stockpiles until June 2017,
followed by a five-month mill shut-down. During the shut-down
we plan to do plant maintenance and attend to upgrade projects.
The total re-investment capital will be net US$180 million
(US$70 million in FY17 and US$110 million in FY18). Commercial
levels of production post pre-strip is estimated to be achieved in the
June quarter of calendar year 2018, with steady state production
thereafter of about 180 000oz of gold and 3Moz of silver.
Planned life-of-mine information is as follows:
- Production to be 1.2Moz of gold (after re-investment 1 Moz of
gold) and 18Moz of silver (after re-investment 16 Moz of silver)
- Recovered gold grade of between 1.4g/t to 1.5g/t and silver at
approximately 20g/t to 23g/t
- Milling rate of approximately 4Mt per annum
- Mining rate ramps up to 28Mt per annum
- Life of mine all-in sustaining cash cost post re-investment (real)
ranging from US$850/oz to US$950/oz on average
A regional exploration programme has commenced proximate to
the Hidden Valley mine. In addition, during FY18 a prefeasibility
study will commence to underpin a possible further 7 year mine
life extension through a further cutback on the Hidden Valley
Kaveroi orebody.
Hidden Valley is an asset that we are familiar with - we know
the ore body, have strong relationships with government and
the communities and have a robust re-investment plan that will
generate a return for our shareholders.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The higher Rand gold and US dollar gold price received over the last
year has improved the profitability of our operations and enabled
the company to enter into favourable hedging arrangements.
Combined with producing safe, profitable ounces, we also focus
on prudent cash management.
H1FY17 to H2FY16
The average spot gold price during the six months ended December
2016 was R569 241/kg, 6% lower than the R605 476/kg recorded
in the previous six months. During the six months to December 2016
the rand strengthened by 9% against the US dollar from an average
of R15.39/US$ in the six months ended June 2016 to an average
of R13.98/US$. The average US dollar gold price for the six months
ended December 2016 increased 4% to US$1 266/oz (June 2016:
US$1 223/oz). After accounting for R233 million (US$17 million)
realised profits resulting from the gold hedge, the average gold
price received increased to R585 908/kg (US$1 303/oz) for the six
months ended December 2016.
Revenue including the gold hedge increased by 3% to
R9.868 billion (13% to US$706 million) in the six months ended
31 December 2016.
Total production profit decreased to R2.474 billion (US$177 million),
from R3.092 billion (US$201 million) in H2FY16 after accounting
for a 14% increase in cash operating costs. Operating costs were
higher due to the inclusion of 100% of Hidden Valley as from 26
October 2016 and increases in labour costs, electricity tariffs and
royalty costs at our South African operations.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) for all operations increased by 4%
to R510 506/kg in H1FY17, compared to R492 898/kg in H2FY16
(increased by 14% to US$1 136/oz compared to US$996/oz in
H2FY16).
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) for the South African operations
increased by 1% to R505 795/kg (11% to US$1 125/oz) compared
to H2FY16.
All-in sustaining costs (AISC) for Hidden Valley increased to
R567 012/kg (US$1 264/oz) compared to H2FY16: R429 121/kg
(46% to US$867/oz), mainly due to processing the lower grade
stockpiles.
A net profit of R1.5 billion (US$111 million) was recorded in the
six months ended 31 December 2016 compared to a net profit
of R1.4 billion (US$89 million) recorded in the six months ended
30 June 2016.
Headline earnings amounted to 150 SA cents per share (11 US cents
per share) compared to headline earnings of 324 SA cents per share
(21 US cents per share) for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
Accounting for the Hidden Valley transaction
Following the completion of the Hidden Valley transaction, 100%
of the operation's income, expenses, assets and liabilities were
accounted for from the 26th of October 2016. A gain on purchase
of R848 million (US$61 million) was recorded. Refer to note 4 for
further details.
Net debt
Positive cash flow generation from our operations enabled the
company to pay a dividend1 of R218 million (US$16 million)
in September 2016 and reduce net debt from R1.1 billion
(US$74 million) at the end of 30 June 2016 to R289 million
(US$21 million) at the end of 31 December 2016. Refer to note 8
for further details related to borrowings at 31 December 2016.
1 Dividend of 50 SA cents (4 US cents) declared for the year ended 30 June 2016.
HEDGING ACTIVITY
Currency hedging
The foreign currency hedging is in the form of zero cost collars, which establish a minimum (floor) and maximum (cap) rand/US dollar exchange
rate at which to convert US dollars to rands. The nominal value of the hedging contracts as at 31 December 2016 is US$442 million. The
hedging contracts are spread over a 12 month period, and are summarised as follows:
FY17 Q3 FY17 Q4 FY18 Q1 FY18 Q2
Sold call options
Nominal US$112m US$146m US$111m US$73m
Average strike price R18.59 R17.38 R16.28 R16.22
Lowest strike price R17.93 R16.21 R16.20 R16.20
Highest strike price R19.08 R18.28 R16.50 R16.30
Purchased put option
Nominal US$112m US$146m US$111m US$73m
Average strike price R15.56 R15.47 R14.98 R15.00
Lowest strike price R15.40 R14.85 R14.85 R15.00
Highest strike price R15.80 R16.10 R15.15 R15.00
The realised gain from contracts maturing in the six months to 31 December 2016 amounted to R394 million (US$28 million).
Gold hedging
Gold hedging is in the form of short-term gold forward sale contracts with a maximum term of 24 months. The nominal value hedged
as at 31 December 2016 was 370 000 ounces, representing approximately 20% of our total production. The breakdown of gold forward
sale contracts entered into are as follows:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
FY 2017 Kg's 1 680 1 680
Average R/kg R660 632/kg R673 143/kg
FY 2018 Kg's 1 680 1 680 1 680 1 680
Average R/kg R686 131/kg R699 540/kg R712 982/kg R727 765/kg
FY 2019 Kg's 1 431
Average R/kg R709 785/kg
During the six months ended 31 December 2016 a gain of R233 million (US$17 million) was realised on the contracts that matured and is
included in revenue. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to the contracts.
Refer to note 3 and 7 for further details.
GOLPU
The Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture parties continued to work with the
Papua New Guinea Government to advance our application for a
special mining lease for the Wafi-Golpu project. Work continued
during the first half of the financial year on those areas identified
in the forward work plan.
DIVIDEND
Our strategy to mine safe, profitable ounces and increase our
margins is paying off. As a result, the board has decided to return
cash to shareholders and they have approved a 50 SA cents
(4 US cents) dividend. See below for details.
CONCLUSION
We believe it is important to continue to strengthen our cash flow,
to pay dividends and to finance our growth ambitions, and to
ensure that Harmony's share price correctly reflects its true value.
It is important that shareholders acknowledge that Harmony has a
sustainable investment case based on prudent financial planning
and capital allocation that is aimed at enhancing the value of our
portfolio.
Although the March quarter is traditionally a difficult production
quarter due to the slow start-up after the festive season, we
believe that our annual guidance of approximately 1 050 000oz
of gold at a cash cost of about $1 100/oz (~R495 000/kg at an
exchange rate of R14.00) is achievable.
We will continue our strong operational performance and create
further value uplift.

4 Acquisition of full ownership of Hidden Valley
Background prior to the transaction
The group had a 50% interest in the mining and exploration assets located in the Morobe province, PNG. Newcrest Mining
Limited (Newcrest) owned the remaining 50% interest in these assets. The assets include the Hidden Valley mine and the
Wafi-Golpu projects. This partnership was formed during the 2009 financial year through a range of transactions, and was
completed by 30 June 2009. This partnership was considered a joint arrangement and was assessed to be a joint operation.
Hidden Valley transaction
On 19 September 2016 Harmony announced the agreement to purchase Newcrest PNG 1 Ltd, the wholly owned subsidiary
of Newcrest which holds Newcrest's 50% interest in the Hidden Valley joint venture, for a cash consideration of US$1. As
part of the transaction, Newcrest made a once-off contribution of US$22.5 million (R309 million) towards Hidden Valley's
future estimated environmental liability. The transaction was conditional upon certain regulatory approvals which were
obtained on 25 October 2016 and Harmony gained control over Hidden Valley on this date.
The completion of the transaction gives Harmony 100% ownership of the Hidden Valley mine and surrounding exploration
tenements. The acquisition of the additional 50% interest in the Hidden Valley mine is aligned with the group's growth
aspirations. The Hidden Valley operation is an open-pit gold and silver mining operation which includes the processing plant.
The mine reached commercial levels of production in the 2009 financial year. There is an established quality management
team that have good relationships with key stakeholders including the community and a stable workforce. Full ownership of
the mine has enabled management to commit to the re-investment of capital at the operation (previously delayed by the joint
venture partners) and commence the stripping of stages 5 and 6 which is expected to extend the life of mine of the
operation.
Since the close of the transaction, the additional 50% interest in Hidden Valley contributed revenue of R198 million and
R5 million loss to the group. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2016 , the group's unaudited consolidated revenue
would have increased by R533 million and profit would have decreased by R34 million.
IFRS does not currently provide guidance how to account for step-up transactions from joint operations to control and the
group has elected to apply the principles of IFRS 3 Business Combinations to such transactions. The purchase price
allocation has been prepared on a provisional basis in accordance with IFRS 3.
If new information obtained within one year of the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the
acquisition date identifies adjustments to the below amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of
acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.
Consideration transferred
The cash consideration paid to acquire Newcrest's 50% interest in Hidden Valley amounted to US$1. The group acquired a
cash balance of R459 million which is presented within the cash flow statement as a net inflow of cash from investing
activities. The cash paid by Newcrest as a once-off contribution to the rehabilitation liability is included in the cash balance
presented as part of the net assets acquired in the transaction.
Acquisition related costs
The Group incurred acquisition related costs of R4 million on advisory and legal fees. These costs are recognised as
transaction costs in profit or loss.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was determined on the expected discounted cash flows based on the
life-of-mine plan of Hidden Valley at a post-tax real discount rate of 12.53%, exchange rate of PGK/US$3.17, gold price of
US$1 189/oz and silver price of US$17.80/oz. The valuation was performed at 26 October 2016. The fair values are as
follows:
Previously held Acquired Total
Figures in million interest interest(1) (100%)

606 848 1 454
Less fair value of previously held interest(2) (606)
Net fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 848
(1) Harmony acquired the legal entity which held Newcrest's interest in Hidden Valley. This subsidiary contained certain
assets and liabilities which were different to those held by Harmony with respect to its interest in Hidden Valley.
(2) The fair value of the previously held interest equalled the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities recognised by
Harmony relating to the previously held interest at the date of acquisition and no gain or loss was recognised with respect to
the deemed disposal of the previously held interest.
The fair value of the previously held interest at 30 June 2016 was R615 million which consisted of Harmony's long term
assets and related rehabilitation provision for its interest in Hidden Valley totalling R319 million and the working capital
relating to Harmony's interest in Hidden Valley totalling R296 million.
On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the previously held interest does not equal 50% of the fair value of the total
identifiable assets and liabilities assumed primarily because the acquired legal entity which held Newcrest's interest in
Hidden Valley included the cash paid by Newcrest (R309 million or US$22.5 million) and other assets and liabilities which
differed from the assets and liabilities held in Harmony's previously held interest.
Gain on bargain purchase
A gain on bargain purchase arising from the acquisition has been determined as follows:
Figures in million
Consideration paid -
Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 848
Gain on bargain purchase 848
Since Harmony only paid US$1 for the 50% share a gain on bargain purchase results. A strategic review of the Hidden
Valley operation conducted by Newcrest resulted in their decision to exit the operation as it represented a non-core asset.

6 Investment in associate
Harmony's gross portion of the subordinated shareholders' loan extended to Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited (Rand
Refinery) in December 2014 amounts to R120 million. This loan forms part of the net investment in associate. For the six
months ended 31 December 2016, Harmony set off its share of losses from associate of R13 million against the loan. The
recoverable amount of the loan at 31 December 2016 is R49 million (June 2016: R62 million; December 2015: R80 million).
The shareholders are in the process of entering into and finalising agreements which will result in the conversion of the loan
into shares. Harmony holds a 10.38% share in Rand Refinery.

(a) During July 2016, Harmony started a hedging programme and entered into gold forward sale contracts (gold hedge
contracts) for a total of 13 440 kg (432 000 oz) over a period of 24 months. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to
these contracts, resulting in the unrealised gains and losses being recorded in other comprehensive income (other
reserves). During the six months ended 31 December 2016, the contracts that matured realised a gain of R233 million
which has been included in revenue.
(b) Harmony has entered into foreign exchange hedging contracts (forex hedging contracts) in the form of zero cost collars,
which establish a minimum (floor) and maximum (cap) Rand/US Dollar exchange rate at which to convert US dollars to
Rands. The nominal value of open forex hedging contracts at 31 December 2016 is US$442 million (30 June 2016:
US$500 million). The hedging contracts are spread over a 12 month period with a weighted average cap price of
US$1=R17.23 (30 June 2016: US$1=R18.27) and weighted average floor price of US$1=R15.30 (30 June 2016:
US$1=R15.55). As hedge accounting is not applied, the gains have been recorded in the income statement. Refer to
note 3 for further details.
8 Borrowings
During the six months ended 31 December 2016, R300 million was repaid on the R1.3 billion Nedbank revolving credit

9 Financial risk management activities
Fair value determination
The fair value levels of hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or
indirectly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices);
Level 3: Inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable inputs).
The following table presents the group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at reporting date:

Derivative financial assets(3) Level 2 2 159 369 -
(1) Level 3 fair values have been valued by the directors by performing independent valuations on an annual basis.
(2) The majority of the level 2 fair values are directly derived from the Top 40 index on the JSE, and are discounted at market interest rate. This
relates to equity-linked deposits in the group's environmental rehabilitation trust funds.
(3) The mark-to market remeasurement of the forex hedging contracts (zero cost collars) is derived from a Black-Scholes valuation technique,
derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate inputs and discounted at market interest rate. The mark-to-market remeasurement of the gold
hedging contracts (forward sale contracts) is derived from spot Rand/US$ exchange rate, Rand and dollar interest rates (forward points),
spot US$ gold price, differential between the US interest rate and gold lease interest rate and discounted at market interest rate.
For all other financial instruments, fair value approximates carrying value.
