REVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
CHIEF EXECUTIVE"S REVIEW - DECEMBER 2005
"Despite the low R/kg gold price environment that we had to contend with during
the last two years and the major restructuring exercise we went through,
Harmony has stuck to its strategy to invest in our growth projects. I believe
the company is now well positioned to pass the benefits from the improved gold
price and the increased profitability through to our shareholders"

NOTES TO THE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
1. Basis of accounting
The unaudited results for the quarter have been prepared using accounting
policies that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
These consolidated quarterly statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS
34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies are consistent with
those applied in the previous financial year, except for the adoption of the
revised international accounting standards forthcoming from the IAS
improvements project and the changes which are described in Notes 2 and 3.
2. New accounting policies adopted
(a) Share-based Payments (IFRS 2)
On 1 July 2005, the Company adopted the requirements of IFRS 2, Share-based
Payments. In accordance with the transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been
applied to all grants of equity-settled payments after 7 November 2002 that
were unvested at 1 January 2005. The Company issues equity-settled instruments
to certain qualifying employees under an Employee Share Option Scheme to
purchase shares in the Company"s authorised but unissued ordinary shares.
Equity share- based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date of the grant. The total fair value of the options
granted is recorded as deferred share-based compensation as a separate
component of shareholders" equity with a corresponding amount recorded as share
premium. The deferred share-based compensation is expensed over the vesting
period, based on the Company"s estimate of the shares that are expected to
eventually vest. The Company used the binominal option pricing model in
determining the fair value of the options granted.
The impact of this adjustment on the net profit/(loss) is an expense of
R63 million for the December 2005 year to date (December 2004 year to date:
R30 million) (December 2005 quarter: R30 million) (September 2005 quarter:
R33 million) (December 2004 quarter: R19 million).
(b) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (IFRIC 4)
On 1 July 2005, the Company applied the requirements of IFRIC 4, Determining
whether an arrangement contains a lease. The objective of the interpretation is
to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease that falls within the
scope of IAS 17, Leases. The lease is then accounted in accordance with IAS 17.
The application of the interpretation had no impact on the results of the
quarter or any prior reporting period.
3. Change in accounting policy
(a) Capitalisation of mine development costs
Previously mine development costs were capitalised when the reef horizon was
intersected.
Expenditure for all development that will give access to proven and probable
ore reserves will now be capitalised. Capitalised costs are amortised over the
estimated life of the proven and probable reserves to which the costs give
access.
The impact of this adjustment on the net profit/(loss) is as follows:
- A decrease in the cash operating costs of R297 million for the December 2005
year to date (December 2004 year to date: R315 million) (December 2005 quarter:
R161 million) (September 2005 quarter: R136 million) (December 2004 quarter:
R156 million).
- Additional amortisation charges of R146 million for the December 2005 year to
date (December 2004 year to date: R112 million) (December 2005 quarter:
R75 million) (September 2005 quarter: R71 million) (December 2004 quarter:
R57 million).
- Taxation effect of the capitalised development costs and additional
amortisation charges of R31 million for December 2005 year to date (December
2004 year to date: R38 million) (December 2005 quarter: R18 million) (September
2005 quarter: R13 million) (December 2004 quarter: R19 million).

* The Delta of the hedge position indicated above, is the equivalent gold
position that would have the same marked- to-market sensitivity for a small
change in the gold price. This is calculated using the Black-Scholes option
formula with the ruling market prices, interest rates and volatilities at 31
December 2005.
These contracts are classified as speculative and the marked-to-market movement
is reflected in the income statement.
The mark-to-market of these contracts was a negative R486 million (negative
USD77 million) at 31 December 2005 (at 30 September 2005: negative R345 million
or negative USD54 million). The values at 31 December 2005 were based on a gold
price of USD514 (AUD704) per ounce, exchange rates of USD1/R6.33 and
AUD1/USD0.73 and prevailing market interest rates and volatilities at that
date. These valuations were provided by independent risk and treasury
management experts.
At 27 January 2006, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative
R557 million (negative USD91 million), based on a gold price of USD559 (AUD741)
per ounce, exchange rates of USD1/R6.11 and AUD1/USD0.75 and prevailing market
interest rates and volatilities at that time.
These marked-to-market valuations are not predictive of the future value of the
hedge position, nor of the future impact on the revenue of the company. The
valuation represents the cost of buying all hedge contracts at the time of the
valuation, at market prices and rates available at the time.
Harmony closed out 10,000 oz call option contracts during the quarter ended 31
December 2005 at a cost of R3.3 million (USD500,000). During the quarter ended
30 September 2005, Harmony closed out 20,000 oz call option contracts and 8,000
oz forward contracts, at a cost of R4.3 million (USD680,000).

billion fixed rate bond to variable rate debt. The interest rate swap runs over
the term of the bond, interest is received at a fixed rate of 13% and the
Company pays floating rate based on JIBAR plus a spread ranging from 1.8% to
2.2%.
These transactions which mature in June 2006 are designated as fair value
hedges. The marked-to-market value of the transactions was a positive R11
million (USD2 million) at 31 December 2005, based on the prevailing interest
rates and volatilities at the time.
