CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REVIEW – JUNE 2005
“We are through the largest and most difficult part of the group restructuring, both operationally and
financially. For the next while we intend focusing our energies on achieving the cost and production
targets we have set and making sure that all of the new mines we are building achieve their nameplate
production and cost parameters. Harmony is currently in a very intense part of its organic growth profile
and we look forward to reaping the long-term benefits of this process, which we can already almost touch
and feel.”
SAFETY REPORT
Safety achievements during this quarter:
Joel achieved 1 000 000 fatality free shifts on 23 June 2005.
Bambanani Lower Section achieved 1 000 000 fatality free shifts on 24 June 2005.
Cooke 1 achieved 500 000 fatality free shifts on 11 June 2005.
The key safety indicators namely Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Shift Loss Injury Frequency Rate
(SLIFR) continued to improve. Our progressive LTIFR for the year ended June 2005 was 16,53 compared to 16,73 at
March 2005, a 1,2% improvement. The progressive SLIFR for the year ended 30 June 2005 are 395 compared to
405 reported in March 2005, a 2,4% improvement. The progressive Fatality Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) declined
by 24,1% to 0,22 from 0,29 in the 2004 financial year, which is Harmony’s best performance to date.

Annual Review – Production base restructured for profitability and growth
Operationally our focus in the past year has been three-fold:
•  we have focused on restructuring our South African Operations for profitability in a low Rand gold price
environment;
•  we have continued to spend on the development of our new projects that will see us build three new mines in
South Africa, one in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and three significant brownfields expansion projects; and
•  we have restructured the company’s balance sheet through the sale of some of our non-strategic listed
investments resulting in lower financial leverage and allowing us to fund our expansions internally.
We are doing the final project optimisation on the Hidden Valley project in PNG with a view to commencing with the
project towards the end of 2005. The combination of all Harmony’s projects will result in a significant upgrade to our
production portfolio adding around 1,5 million ounces per annum at an operating cost of less than US$ 250/oz
(at R7.00/US$). The restructuring of the South African operations has been a lengthy and costly process but is now
by and large complete and, we anticipate, will enable us to produce an annualised 2,95 million ounces from our
existing portfolio at a cost of R75 000/kg by September 2005.
In 2005 we produced 2,97 million ounces (decrease of 11%) compared to 3,3 million ounces in the previous year.
The decrease in production is the result of the restructuring of the South African operations to deal with the low Rand
gold price. This has resulted in the downscaling and in some cases mothballing of some of our leveraged
operations.

This was achieved against a backdrop that saw South African gold production fall (in calendar 2004) by 9% to
343 tonnes, the lowest level seen since 1931. The fall in production is ascribed to the maturity of the industry but more
importantly to the fall in the Rand gold price and the continued increase in costs, especially administered costs.

Over the period the average Rand gold price received decreased by 0,5% to R84 799/kg compared to R85 219/kg
in FY2004. In addition, this was in a cost environment where our input costs increased by over 10,0%. As a result of
the lower Rand gold price and lower production, group revenues fell by 11,0% to R7,82 billion (from 8,79 billion in
FY04). Operating costs fell by 8,1% to R7,55 billion and operating unit costs increased by only 2,8% to R81 839/kg,
which compares with CPIX of 3,9%.
FY2005 was also a year in which we experienced strike activity related to the restructuring and strong Rand
environment. In January 2005, The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) withdrew support of Sunday work
permission at our Free State operations, key to our CONOPS work practise, which resulted in the loss of CONOPS
at our Free State operations despite being fully staffed for CONOPS. The restructuring of the group’s Free State
operations was further hindered by a labour court interdict on 6 May 2005, which prevented Harmony from
implementing the process. As a result, a “new” restructuring process was initiated on 19 May 2005 with Section 189,
60-day notices being (re-)served on the affected shafts and personnel. Union agreement was reached on 19 July
2005 and is in the process of being implemented. Total expenditure on restructuring during FY05 was R638 million,
which includes severance payments, working losses at the restructured operations and other incidentals associated
with the restructuring.

As a result of the tough operating conditions, the company’s ongoing commitment to expenditure on its long-term
growth projects and the need to conserve cash, no dividends were declared in FY05.

Focus on our growth projects remains
Despite the harsh financial and operating conditions encountered in the past year the company has remained
focused in its resolve to complete and implement its growth strategy. Accordingly expenditure on all of the local and
international growth projects continued at pace. In the past year R510 million was spent on project capital, a further
R317 million on operational capital and projects and R73 million on exploration. Good progress has continued to be
made at the Phakisa, Elandsrand New Mine and Doornkop South Reef growth projects locally, and during the year,
Harmony received board approval and final licensing for the development of the Hidden Valley Project in PNG. This
project is scheduled to go into construction in December 2005. Furthermore we also made good progress at our
Masimong, Tshepong and Evander expansion/replacement projects.
Harmony remains the only local gold mining company that continues to develop three new mines in the country and
has another three major expansion or replacement projects in progress.
Completion of the Gold Fields bid
On 20 May 2005 our Gold Fields bid was brought to a close through a High Court Ruling that deemed the second
part of the two-stage offer invalid effectively closing the bid on 18 December 2004. This coincided with the date of
the expiration of the Norilsk irrevocable and the expiry of the second stage of the offer. As a result, Harmony did
not acquire any additional Gold Fields shares and its holding in Gold Fields remained at 11,5% (56,6 million shares).
The costs incurred on the investment Harmony made in Gold Fields was divided into three components:
– Costs relating to the acquisition of the 11,5% initial investment in Gold Fields incurred to acquire the investment;
– Costs relating to the acquisition of the 11,5% initial investment in Gold Fields incurred to issue the shares to pay
for the investment;
– Costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of the 11,5% investment in Gold Fields.

The costs amounting to R86 million incurred to acquire the initial investment was accounted for as part of the
investment and therefore included in the carrying value of the investment on the balance sheet.
The costs of R80 million relating to the issue of the shares to pay for the investment in Gold Fields was accounted
for as a cost for issuing equity.
The costs of R18 million incurred subsequent to the initial investment was included in the income statement, as these
costs were not incurred as part of the acquisition of an asset.
Subsequently Harmony sold 30 million shares (6,5%) of its Gold Fields holding to raise US$315 million. The
proceeds have been used to settle most of Harmony’s short-term debt, buy-back 23,5% of its HAR1 corporate bond
(subsequent to 30 June 2005) and provide funding for the development of the Hidden Valley Mine. Harmony retains
5,4% of Gold Fields (26,6 million shares) and will appropriately deploy the stake in the best interests of
shareholders in the short to medium term.

Ore Reserve Update
Despite depleting 3,1 million ounces (based on ROM/head grades) in the past financial year and implementing a
wide-ranging restructuring of the local operations the group’s reserves only declined by 13% to 54,1 million
ounces. The gold price used to state our reserves is unchanged at R92 000/kg and A$540/oz and continues to be
our expectation of the sustainable gold price in real terms. A big source of negative variance for the reserves in
FY05 was the loss of 1,3 million ounces brought about by the downscaling of the local operations, which resulted in
several of our leveraged shafts being put on care and maintenance. The other changes in the reserves relate to
depletion (decrease of 3,1 million ounces at head grade), a restatement published in January 2005 (decrease of
4,8 million ounces) and the addition of 1,1 million ounces of new reserves brought about by the conversion of
resources and the discovery of new ounces.

Target Reserves and Resources increase with new information
Target just gets better and better as our understanding of the ore body increases. The updated and revised
resource calculations show an increase of 11%. Also despite the depletion of 210 000 ounces of FY05, reserves have
declined by only 77 000 ounces. The changes have been brought about by additional mining information, intensive
re-modelling of the orebody taking into account new drill hole, structural geological and development information.
With the lowered Target cost structure this makes more of the orebody economic to mine for longer!

Target North – Exciting Times
Work on the Target North and Sun South properties has been stepped up. This involves a full re-assessment of all
drill hole and geophysical information with the view to identifying new drill sites as part of the drill programme.
Preliminary work has resulted in a re-interpretation of the stratigraphy to the north of the Target Mine, which shows
evidence for the existance of the multiple stacked fan-type Elsburg Reefs mined at Target and previously thought
to have been eroded in this area.
Finalising the Free State Restructuring – Union agreement reached on 19 July 2005
The past financial year has seen an intensive phase of restructuring to adjust to the low Rand gold price
environment. The Free State restructuring has taken the longest and received a set back of more than two months
on 6 May 2005 following a Labour Court ruling that interdicted the restructuring planned to be implemented in mid-
April and ordered the re-instatement of all people that had already left the company as part of the retrenchment.
This resulted in the re-issuance of Section 189 restructuring notification to all employees and unions on 19 May
2005. To this end agreement was reached with the company’s largest labour unions, the National Union of
Mineworkers (“NUM”), on 19 July 2005 regarding the proposed job loss avoidance measures as part of the
restructuring of Harmony’s Free State operations.
background image
10
The agreement makes provision for the following:
(i)
The opening of voluntary retrenchments for a stipulated period.
(ii)
The replacement of non-specialised contract workers with Harmony employees.
(iii)   The transfer of employees to vacancies at other group operations in South Africa.
(iv)  The re-implementation of CONOPS work cycles at Bambanani, Tshepong and Masimong shafts.
(v)
And, as a final measure, involuntary severance.
The implementation of the CONOPS agreement is subject to a successful Sunday work permission application and
will be for a period of 14 months. The agreement also makes provision for a three-month notice period of
termination of CONOPS from either party. The agreement provides for the monitoring of the implementation of the
job loss avoidance measures and for dispute resolution under the auspices of the CCMA.
The transfer of employees to vacancies in other areas of the group bodes well, especially at operations such as
Evander and Elandsrand where key vacancies in production are waiting to be filled.
The group restructuring process is largely completed and Harmony’s Free State operations should be in a position
to produce normalised operating results from the month of September 2005.
CONOPS (continuous operations) refers to the practice where a mine operates on all the days of the year,
including Sundays. Workers operate on a roster or shift arrangement which sees them work the same amount of
hours per week and therefore the company needs to employ more people in order to facilitate working the
additional days.
Currently most gold mines in South Africa operate for approximately 273 days per year. The successful
introduction of CONOPS can increase this number to 353 days per year (excluding the 12 public holidays). This
will result in a 12% increase in labour on the shafts as well as a 5% reduction in unit cost/tonne.

These shafts produced a combined average of 296kg per month or 114 000oz per annum for the previous financial
year.
In addition, the scope of several other of the Free State operations will be reduced in the restructuring.
As mentioned in the March Quarter, Bambanani will be reduced to 250 000 ounces per annum at a cash cost of
R72 000/kg. Production at Merriespruit 1 and 3 will be around 110 000 ounces per annum at cash costs
of R83 000 /kg and the combined Unisel – St Helena 8 will produce 100 000 ounces per annum at approximately
R85 000/kg.
We maintain our estimate that group annualised production of 2,95 million ounces at a cash operating cost of
R75 000/kg is the current annualised operating level for the restructured group and we still expect to achieve this
in the September month of 2005.

The year ahead is an exciting period for Harmony and is the most capital intensive phase of the group’s recent
history. We take comfort in the quality of the projects, which will not only enable us to grow our production profile,
but also add significant value. In FY06 we have budgeted R1,55 billion in capex of which R1,08 billion is project
capex, R311 million is ongoing operational capex and R160 million is a combination of surface infrastructure
upgrades and systems replacement.

The past quarter in review
A higher gold price and a steady operating result saw Harmony’s cash operating profit increase by R100 million
from an operating loss of R55 million in March 2005 to an operating profit of R45 million (US$7,08 million) in the June
period. Production in the June quarter declined by 5,9% to 639 346 oz (quarter on quarter) and cash operating
costs increased by 1,9% to R87 461/kg. In dollars terms, costs dropped by 4,7% to US$424/oz helped by
6,8% depreciation in the USD/ZAR exchange rate to R6,41/US$ for the June Quarter. Unit revenues increased
by 7,7% to R89 711/kg from R83 273/kg in March also largely as a result of the weaker Rand, and in dollars revenues
increased by a more modest 1% to US$435/oz as a result of the higher gold price.

Operationally the quarter was characterised by disruptions in the Free State operations in April related to the strike
started in March and the ongoing restructuring of the Free State region. As a result, production in April at the Free
State Operations was significantly lower than planned. Ongoing disruptions at Free State operations associated with
restructuring resulted in below planned operating performances at these operations for most of the June Quarter.
Free State gold production fell 14% to 7 848 kg. We expect the performance of these operations to improve with the
successful completion of the restructuring, which is now largely complete.
In other areas of the group, operating performances improved, helped by the 8% increase in the Rand gold price,
the benefits of CONOPS, a better performance in Australia and, to some extent, the depreciation of the Australian
dollar.

Quarterly Financial Review
Revenues increased by 1,4% to R1 784 million largely as a result of the 7,8% increase in the Rand gold price
resulting in an increase in operating profits of R100 million to R45 million. This increased the cash earnings per
share (“EPS”) to 12 cents from a loss of 14 cents in the previous quarter. The net loss was R1141 million (loss per
share 291 cents) compared to a net loss before impairments of R515 million (loss per share 131 cents) for the
previous quarter. The current quarter’s results were negatively affected by the loss on the disposal of a stake of the
investment in Gold Fields of R372 million and an additional provision for employment termination costs due to the
restructuring. In addition, we reflect a diminution in the carrying value of the 13,68% stake of ARM sold into an
empowerment trust designed to broaden ARM empowerment base of R337 million. The loss on disposal of listed
investments was the loss relating to the sale of the balance of our investment in ARM of R103 million, offset by a small
profit on the sale of Bendigo of R30 million. A provision of R57 million has been made for post retirement benefits
following the latest actuarial valuation.
The net loss for the previous quarter after impairments was R1,697 million (loss per share of 432 cents).
The negative movement in the mark-to-market of the hedge portfolio is as a result of the movement in the Australian
dollar gold price, as well as the cash payments on the Avgold currency hedge and a weaker Rand associated with
the currency hedge inherited with the acquisition of Avgold. This hedge matures in December 2005.
Balance sheet restructuring and cash position
We have transformed our balance sheet in the last quarter. This has involved the sale of a number of our non-core
listed investments, including the sale of 30 million (6,5% of the investment in Gold Fields), the sale of the remaining
balance of our ARM investment to parties other than the ARM Empowerment Trust and the sale of our remaining
stake in Bendigo. These sales raised a total of R3 175,9 million and the proceeds have amongst other things been
used in the June quarter to reduce short-term debt by some R720 million, fund restructuring costs of R217 million,
capex of R202,5 million, financing costs of R134 million and R66 million of foreign exchanges losses on the Avgold
Hedge book. The cash balance at 30 June 2005 was R1 830 million.

The sale of 13,68% of our ARM stake into a trust designed to facilitate the broadening of ARM’s black economic
empowerment base has made for some interesting accounting issues, The purchase by the trust of our 13,68%
stake in ARM was financed and underwritten by Harmony. Harmony disposed of the remaining portion of the
investment in ARM Limited to the ARM Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Trust (“The Trust”). As part of the
various agreements put in place to arrange the sale of the shares to The Trust, Harmony has accepted terms which
resulted in the majority of the risk not being transferred to the Trust. This relates mainly to a “Put Option” whereby
the loan of R480 million can be put to Harmony by Nedbank in the event of default of the loans obtained by the Trust
in acquiring the shares from Harmony. Based on accounting rules governing the accounting for “Special Purpose
background image
18
Entities” it is required that Harmony consolidate the Trust and therefore the total Trust liability and the total
investment in ARM Limited is accounted for on the consolidated Harmony balance sheet, as the Trust is deemed to
form part of the Harmony Group. This will be unwound as the shares in the trust are taken up by the incumbent
owners. In the interim the value of the shares in the trust have been written down to R29 per shares which is the
maximum realisable price under the terms of the agreement. The net write down is R337 million.

Effect of consolidating ARM Trust
Investments increased by R853 million.
Long-term liabilities increased by R853 million.
Excluding the consolidated ARM trust debt of R853 million, our gross debt has been reduced to R2,90 billion from
R3,55 billion at 31 March 2005 and net debt (excluding the value of the remaining 5,4% of Gold Fields) has been
reduced to R1 072 million from R3,78 billion. On this basis, gross debt to shareholders equity has reduced to 13,1%,
from 15,8% in the previous quarter. Including the debt associated with the sale of the ARM stake of R836 million,
gross debt to shareholders equity was 16,9% or R3,74 billion as at the June 2005 period-end.
Since quarter-end we spent R295 million in a partial buy-back of our June 2006 HAR1 bond. A total of R281,7 million
of the bond’s notional value has been repurchased, which represents 23,5% of the total issue. The re-purchase was
done at a spread of 195 bps above the benchmark government issue (R152). The bond has a semi-annual coupon
of 13% and was launched in 2001.

COST INITIATIVES
Buying back our mines
We have initiated several cost and efficiency initiatives in the past quarter. Firstly we have assembled a crack due
diligence team of our best operational and financial people that we would traditionally use in the event of an
acquisition. The intention here is to have a clean re-look at our cost structures and operating efficiencies with the
view to reducing costs by at least 10%. The process involves benchmarking, assessing infrastructure requirements,
shaft specific constraints and service requirements. Where necessary this involves inserting temporary
supplemental management capacity to oversee the implementation. Three shafts have been completed to date with
a reduction in total costs on the shafts of almost 15%!

Services Transformation Project
Harmony has embarked on a group-wide Services Transformation Project (STP). The objectives are to reduce the
cost of service provision by 20% and improve the quality of services. This involves a complete re-look at required
services, associated systems and staffing. Opportunities are enormous. We expect a saving of R50 million in the
second half of 2005 and expectations are for another R100 million in 2006.
QUARTERLY OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The June quarter was a quarter of three very different months with the operating performance of the South African
operations progressively improving as the quarter wore on. The month of April was badly impacted by the
continuation of the strike at our Free State operations, which started in March and the ongoing restructuring of the
Free-State operations. The Free State operations remain the area of biggest negative operating variance, which
should be addressed and rectified through the completion of the restructuring.
Operating performance in the rest of the group were much improved. The Randfontein region increased production
by 6,4% to 2 403kg and decreased operating costs by 11,0% to R92 558/kg, The Evander region increased
production by 9,2% to 2 868kg and decreased operating costs by 6,7% to R72 063/kg, the Orkney region increased
production by 18,7% to 1 198kg and decreased operating costs by 22,8% to R70 274/kg, and although production
at the Australian operations remained steady, operating costs decreased by 11,7% to US$337/oz.
Operational highlights were as follows:
The group restructuring is largely complete.
Tshepong continues on its winning ways.
Strong turnaround at Evander 8 shaft.
Consistency from Kalgold.
Strong performance at Mt Magnet.
Resource/Reserves upgrade at Hidden Valley and Target mine.

The tables below show a strong and consistent improvement through the quarter and also illustrate how the
problems associated with the Free State restructuring have made this area by far the worst in terms of operating
performance. With the Free State restructuring now basically complete, and key positions in the other operations
being filled as a result of the transfers, we look forward to better performances.

*Includes Target surface production of 51 000 tonnes at 0,51g/t.
Operating profits at these operations increased to R104,9 million from a profit of R66,8 million in the March
quarter. The improved operating performance was driven by the higher gold price. Volumes were negatively
effected in part due to the strike in the Free State and due to lower underground volumes at Target. Importantly,
total working costs decreased by 5,2% to R711,9 million compared to the R751,3 million reported in the March
2005 period. The drop in total working costs stands to significantly benefit the company’s unit costs at higher
volumes. As part of the NUM agreement signed on 19 July 2005 CONOPS will be re-implemented at Tshepong,
Masimong 5 and Bambanani mines which should help restore optimum volumes at these operations. The
implementation of CONOPS at Masimong 5 will commence after four months to allow for adequate
development to be done in the interim.
Target continued to battle with flexibility, machine availability and grade issues in the June quarter.
Underground tonnage milled decreased from 255 000 tonnes in the March quarter to 203 000 tonnes in June
and recovered grade decreased from 6,19 g/t to 4,47 g/t. Grade was in part impacted by a lack of access to
some of the higher grade stopes due to backfill constraints. Increased development also contributed to lower
grades. Operating costs increased to R79 503/kg (US$384/oz) compared with R60 887/kg (US$319/oz) in
March. Importantly, total operating costs declined by a further 18% keeping unit costs at an impressive
R356/tonne and paving the way for significant further unit cost reductions with increased volumes. Surface
production decreased to 16kg in the June quarter compared to the 26kg reported in the March period.
Please take note that from the June quarter we have removed the surface production from Target reported
production to reflect only underground operations.

Tshepong continues to deliver excellent operational results and now faces the prospect of the re-implementation
of CONOPS, which should further increase production. In the June quarter underground tonnages increased by
6,7% to 350 000 tonnes. As expected grades dropped to a more normalised 7,15g/t from 9,11g/t in March and
as a result production dropped by 16% to 2 502kg. Despite the higher volumes, total operating costs dropped
by an impressive 3,2% to R168,9 million resulting in a 9,3% drop in unit costs to R483/tonne from R529/tonne in
the previous quarter. Operating costs increased by 15% to R67 484/kg (US$326/oz).
Tshepong decline project review
Following the decision taken during the March quarter to complete the project in-house, site has been
re-established and good progress was made during the June period to make up time lost in the contractor
replacement, and more recently (March – April) the 14-day strike in the Free State. The Tshepong decline
project is scheduled for completion in FY08 with full production 130 000 ounces per year scheduled for FY07.

Masimong had a poor quarter relating to a fire which stopped production at Masimong 5 for seven days and
the strike that started on 23 March 2005. The largest source of variance was however the closure of Masimong
4 and the fact that, due to the restructuring delays, labour costs were anomalously high in the quarter.
Production fell by 11,9% to 998kg from 1 133kg in the March period. Operating costs decreased by a modest
1% to R103 614/kg despite a 12,6% fall in total operating costs to R103,4 million. Tonnes milled dropped by
13,8% to 186 584 tonnes from 217 000 tonnes in the March period. Masimong reported a cash operating loss
of R13,1 million in the June quarter compared to a loss of R21 million in the March period. The result belies a
much improved performance at Masimong 5 despite the fire and strike. Masimong 5 increased volumes by
7,2% to 177 586 tonnes and production by 5,6% to 968kg. This bodes well for Masimong 5 pending the
implementation of CONOPS before year-end and restructuring of Masimong 4.
The Masimong Expansion Project was delayed in the June quarter due to a fire on the mine and the strike
that commenced on 23 March 2005 and extended into April. During the June quarter a total of R3,3 million was
spent on capital development and a total of 361 metres of capital development was achieved.
The scope of the Masimong expansion project has been increased with the view to increasing its production
profile up to 135 000 tons per month in five years. This has resulted in the total project capex increasing to
R314 million from R138 million previously but has similarly increased the NPV of the project from R49 million to
R189 million and increased the IRR from 30% to 111%.
The project is due for completion in 2010 and will contribute a total of 260 000 ounces per year.

Evander’s performance improved materially in the June quarter thanks in part to the region’s exposure to
CONOPS for a year, but more specifically due to a much improved performance at Evander 8. Production in
the period increased by 9,1% to 2 868kgs from 2 628kg in the March quarter driven by a 10% increase in
grades to 7,1g/t. Operating costs decreased by 6,7% to R72 069/kg helped by a 17,0% increase in volumes at
Evander 8 to 186 000 tonnes and a 16,1% increase in grade at Evander 8 to 6,3g/t. During the quarter the
operations of Evander 2 and 5 were combined with all production from the two shafts being hoisted from
Evander 5, which will continue to realise cost synergies as the process is bedded down.
Evander is a good example of how CONOPS is working for Harmony and Evander 8 is an excellent
example of this. Despite having low flexibility, an increase in development rates and the addition of the extra
CONOPS shifts has enabled crew advance on the shaft to be increased from 10,5 metres in the March quarter
to 15,7 metres in the June month despite the fact that the CONOPS implementation has only recently been
completed at Evander 8. Similarly at Evander 2 and 5 shafts we are seeing increases in face advance of over
20% and increases in development efficiencies of over 30%.

Decline No. 3 Project (Phase 3) at Evander 7 Shaft is progressing well. The No. 3 Decline shaft barrel
advanced 60 metres during the period and the horizontal development on 20 Level advanced 120 metres.
The 20 level pumpstation and the temporary conveyor tips were completed during May 2005. The whole of
20 Level was equipped with rails and two loaders and two locos with hoppers were moved to 20 Level. The next
stage of equipping is focused on the completion of the No. 8 Conveyor and the construction of the main tips and
sacrificial conveyor on 20 Level.
The Phase 3 project is due for completion in 2008 and full production of around 65 000 ounces is estimated in
the FY07 financial year.

The Cooke section of Randfontein also posted a much improved performance in the June quarter as the benefits
of CONOPS start to be realised. The majority of production parameters showed improvement in the June quarter.
Volumes increased by 9% to 366 000 tons milled, grades improved by 2% to 4,91g/t, cost/tonne decreased by
12% to R442/ton, production increased by 12% to 1 797kg, total operating costs decreased by 4% to
R162 million and operating costs decreased by 14% to R90 112/kg – a good all round performance!
Cooke 2 is another good example of how CONOPS is working for Harmony. In the June quarter production at
the shaft increased by 25,5% to 453kg driven by a 23% increase in tonnes milled to 95 000 tonnes and a 1,7%
increase in grades to 4,76 g/t. Total operating costs remained unchanged at R37 million resulting in a massive
18% decrease in unit operating costs to R393/tonne and a 20% decrease in operating costs to R82 465/kg.
The performance was driven in part by higher crew advance and a 40% increase in development metres, which
is providing the flexibility needed to produce and sustain higher production levels.

These operations which consist of shafts which are either in the process of being restructured, downscaled in
line with available ore reserves or being mothballed, returned a cash operating loss of R107,4 million versus
the loss recorded in the March period of R131,4 million. Gold production decreased by 5,5% to 5 181kg driven
largely by a 8,3% fall in grades to 4,73g/t versus the 5,16g/t achieved in the March quarter. Total operating costs
decreased by 2,5% to R575,9 million from R590,9 million achieved in the March period. Pleasingly unit
operating costs also fell by 5,4% to R526/tonne, but this was offset by the lower grades resulting in an increase
in operating costs by 3,1% to R111 162/kg. Pleasingly the poor individual shaft performances were largely
restricted to areas with outstanding restructuring and in fact more than 50% of the leveraged shafts posted lower
operating costs per kilogram and more than 70% posted lower cost per tonne, some of them significantly so.
Examples of this are Harmony 2 with 21% lower cost per kilogram and 21% lower cost per tonne, Joel with 11%
lower cost per kilogram and 17% lower cost per tonne, Orkney 2 with 22,5% lower cost per kilogram and 12,6%
lower cost per tonne, and Orkney 4 with 23% lower cost per kilogram to R66 173 and 13,3% lower cost
per tonne.
The shafts that have been put on care and maintenance are Masimong No 4, Nyala, St Helena 4, Saaiplaas 3,
Eland, Brand 5 and Welkom No 1 shaft. Production at Bambanani will be decreased and CONOPS will be
re-implemented. In addition, Merriespruit 1 and 3, Brand 3, Unisel, St Helena 8 will all be right-sized. The
restructuring is now largely completed and should see the operations return to “normality” in the September
month once the process is bedded down. Following the completion of the restructuring we expect the region
to produce approximately 920 000 ounces per year at an operating cost of R85 000/kg.

Kalgold stole the show (again!). Kalgold reported a cash operating profit of R24,8 million compared to a cash
operating profit of R8,1 million in the March 2005 quarter. Tonnages increased by 6,8% from 425 000 tonnes to
454 000 tonnes, quarter on quarter. Recovery grade decreased by 5,0% to 2,03 g/t (March 2005 – 2,14 g/t) as
a result of slightly lower mining grades. Despite this, production increase by 1,3% to a new record of 922kg.
The biggest driver of the strong result was an impressive 20,8% decrease in unit operating costs to R126/ton
driven by reductions in both the plant and mining costs and higher volumes.
Please note we have included the Target surface production in the SA Surface Operations from June 2005. In the
June quarter this consisted of 29 000 tons at a recovered grade of 0,565g/t.

Good progress continues to be made on the growth projects. Production from this segment however declined
by 8,8% to 1 933 kg and operating costs increased by 8,4% to R99 609/kg driven by a 11% decrease in grades
to 5,84 g/t. Good progress has been made however on unit and total operating cost reductions. Total operating
costs fell by 1,1% to R192,5 million and unit operating costs fell by 3,3% to R582/ton. Particularly pleasing was
the 11,9% drop in unit operating costs at Doornkop to R331/tonne.

Elandsrand New Mine Project
Elandsrand remains focused on the completion and commissioning of the New Mine Project, but in the interim,
production from the upper section of the mine continues to be hampered by a lack of flexibility. The operation
made an operating loss of R10,9 million in the June quarter compared to an operating loss of R4,9 million in March.
Production decreased by 12,1% to 1 559kg driven by a 8,9% drop in grades to 7,64g/t and a 3,8% fall in volumes
to 204 000 tonnes milled. Operating costs increased by 12,2% to R96 523/kg.
The deterioration at Elandsrand is related to a drop in Mine Call Factor (“MCF”) to 78% and a drop in sweepings
in the June period to 78%, respectively. Mining grades remained constant at 10,9g/t and initiatives that have been
put in place to address both volumes and improve the quality of mining should see Elandsrand improve despite
the flexibility problems. In the longer term the commissioning of Elandrand New Mine will alleviate the
flexibility problems and allow the operation to achieve its full potential. We remain very excited about the future
of Elandsrand.
The Elandsrand New Mine Project is scheduled for completion in 2010 and full production of 500 000 ounces is
scheduled for 2012.
Infrastructure
Work in this section of the deepened mine continues as per plan. Sub projects that were completed or
progressed in the past quarter include:
The 102 L Booster fan installation was completed in April. The fan ducting (from fan to ventilation shaft) will
be installed during the next quarter.
100 L 22 kV sub-station track work has been completed. The civil work will start during the next quarter.
Civil construction on 115 L mud pumps was completed as well as the crane gantry, which will be
commissioned in September.
Reinforcing of No. 3 Settler dam floor was completed. The concreting is planned for August.
The design of No. 3 Settler dam wall has been checked and additional support and reinforcing will be
required, due to bad ground conditions.
Sinking No. 2 Service Shaft is progressing, following the electrical delays experienced during April and May.
This shaft is currently sunk to 35 metres below 98 L.
The 92 L Turbine dam chamber excavation has been completed and raiseboring is planned in the
September quarter.
Commissioning of the rock loading system from 115 L was done during this quarter. Both reef and waste can
now be hoisted from 115 L. The joining of the ore pass system at 100 L is planned for this quarter.
115 L No. 3 sub-station has been completed.

Access Development
102 Level
With the vent-cross over on 105 L complete, the vent raise bore holes between 102 L and 105 L commenced but
encountered difficulties related to an incorrect survey position. This necessitated blasting a 3-metre cubby out
of the vent-cross over to link up with the raise bore hole, which has now been completed.
105 Level
The vent cross-over holed in January 2005. All the capital development on this level is now complete. Ventilation
raisebore holes are in progress.
109 Level
With the main haulage and Return Airway (“RAW”) now through the Cobra dyke development rates have
normalised.
113 Levels
Both the RAW and haulage are now through the Cobra Dyke with its associated high-pressure gas pockets
allowing normal development to be resumed.

Doornkop South Reef Capital Project
Doornkop delivered a much improved mining performance in the June quarter. Volumes increased by 14,4% to
127 000 tonnes and despite the increased volumes, total operating costs remained constant at R42 million
resulting in a 12% reduction in unit operating costs to R331/tonne from R376/tonne in the March period and
reducing operating costs by 7,7% to R112 504/kg. Doornkop continues to battle with recovered grades, which
fell 5% to 2,94g/t resulting in only a 8,7% increase in production to 374kg in the June quarter. Doornkop reduced
its operating losses to R8,6 million in the June quarter compared to losses of R13,3 million in the March period.
Although mining the Kimberly reefs at the Doornkop shaft remains loss making, the operation contributes
R3,5 million per month to the capital project by way of shaft overheads.
The Doornkop South Reef Project made excellent progress in the June quarter. Doornkop is now the only
developing shaft in the industry that has two separate sinking operations at different elevations in the same shaft
– another first for Harmony! Capital expenditure at Doornkop totalled R29,2 million in the June quarter.
The Doornkop South Reef Project is scheduled for completion in 2011 with full production of 310 000 ounces
per year scheduled in 2009. Production build-up will commence in October 2006.
Highlights of the Doornkop project progress in the June quarter 2005 include:
Access development on 192, 197 and 202 Levels continue while in-circle development is underway on
212 level. Three reef raises are also being developed on 192 Level for over-stopping operations to
commence in August 2005.
The 1.8m diameter raise-bore hole between 192 Level and 132 Level (currently main shaft bottom) is
complete. This task was executed on time with no gas or water intersections encountered en-route. Shaft
sinking is commencing from 132 Level shaft bottom in August 2005.
Sliping of the shaft to final diameter from 197 Level is being done. An independent sinking bank and
infrastructure has been commissioned on 197 Level that enables sinking to take place on two locations on
one shaft. It is planned that the portion of shaft between 197m to 50m below 212 Level will be sliped to final
diameter by the time the sinking operation above reaches 192 Level in March 2006.
The second outlet facility was commissioned in July 2005 with the final installation and commissioning of the
second outlet winder, headgear and other infrastructure. The second outlet shaft is also being used to
circulate additional air in the sub-shaft.
The updated schedule provides for the main shaft to be partially commissioned (excluding the additional
rock winder) by the end of 2006. Production will ramp-up over the next three years to 135 000 tons per month
of reef.
The project financial evaluation model has been updated during the quarter. Gold price amended to
R92 000/kg. The working cost model update indicates estimated working unit costs of average R420/ton for
the life of mine in June 2005 money terms. Projected final estimated costs for the capital program have been
reduced to R959 million.

The Australian Operations had a substantially better quarter compared to the March quarter with operating profit
improving to A$8.2 million from A$4.1 million in March. A good underground performance at Mt Magnet was offset
by lower underground production at Mt Marion, where production was severely affected by a blocked escape way.
This resulted in 69 542 oz produced in June 2005 compared to 68 903 oz produced in March.
Mount Magnet
Mount Magnet reported a working profit of A$7.2 million (March A$1.8 million), mainly due to a good performance
from underground operations. Underground tonnages were 2% up compared to the previous quarter, but a 29%
improvement in grade resulted in 26 431 underground ounces being produced in the quarter compared to
20 070 ounces in the previous quarter. Underground mining has now ceased at the Star mine, and this ore will be
replaced by ore from the St George underground mine from the end of the September quarter onwards.
Decline development advance improved significantly at the St George mine as a result of improved ground
conditions and focused contractor management. The commencement of stope production will be delayed until the
end of the September quarter as a result of these conditions. There was a slight improvement in open pit production
at Mt Magnet with the Cue open pits coming on line and better ore being accessed.
In aggregate the site produced 44 632 ounces of gold from the processing of 521 751 tonnes of ore and low grade
stockpiles.
South Kal Mines
South Kal Mines produced 24 903 oz of gold in June quarter compared to 30 318 ounces in March quarter from the
milling of 314 857 tonnes of ore.
Underground production at Mt Marion was severely affected by a blockage in the secondary escape route, which
resulted in no stope mining allowed to take place for 20 days until the route was cleared. Tonnage from underground
operations decreased 50% to 71 072 tonnes. As predicted in the previous quarter underground grade continued to
be low at 3,69 g/t.
background image
41
Open pits had significantly higher production than the previous quarter with 15 318 ounces produced compared
to 12 595 ounces in the previous quarter, with 195 483 tonnes being processed. More low grade stock piles were
processed in the quarter compared to the previous quarter as a result of open pit mill feed being in the process of
depletion and higher than normal rainfall affecting surface haulage capacity.
Some good drill results were returned during the quarter from an RAB air core drill program at the Shirl Prospect,
located on one of our tenements at South Kal Mines. Some of the best intervals are:
05BSRB284
8m @ 12.3g/t gold, from 16m
05BSRB309
6m @ 3.6g/t gold, from 24m
05BSRB310
8m @ 2.17g/t gold, from 14m

05BSRB316
14m @ 7.94g/t gold, from 34m
05BSRB342
6m @ 12.77g/t gold, from 28m
Geological logs are in the process of being entered into the database and the interpretation of sections and plans
is well underway. These are in the process of being finalised and further drilling will be planned as soon as possible.
The site showed a profit for the quarter of A$1 million compared with A$2.4 million in March.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Offshore Project Update
The development concept for the Hidden Valley Project remains unchanged with a two-phase project being
planned. Phase 1 (the first eight years) constructs the plant and infrastructure, develops, mines and processes
reserves from the Hamata and Hidden Valley – Kaveroi open pit mines. Phase 2 aims to progressively extend gold
production around a centralised process plant being fed from a number of regional ore sources.
Drilling has been completed during this year; in general the results have as expected further enhanced the quality
of the orebody with most of the inferred resource being upgraded to indicated. The mining optimisation studies
conducted on the new resource model indicate that the orebody will yield a higher tonnage at a higher grade than
previously envisaged.
Reserve/Resource upgrade
The final phase of the Hidden Valley validation drilling programme, was successfully completed this quarter with
excellent results. A total of 2 093m of diamond drilling from six holes was done. The objective(s) of this drill
programme was to fill in gaps in geology and geochemical data and to increase the Indicated Resources at the
Hidden Valley Zone. In addition the drilling programme sought to test lateral and down dip continuity of interpreted
ore outlined in Kaveroi resource model.
background image
42
The additional drilling ahead of the finalisation of the project has resulted in an upgrade to both the reserve and
resource. Measured and Indicated resources have increased by 310 600 ounces of gold and 1,46 million ounces of
silver in the measured and indicated category portion of the resource. This represents a conversion of almost all of
the inferred material to indicated for the Hidden Valley deposit. The slight drop in inferred gold ounces is due to
the “tightening up” of the resource interpretation in the Kaveroi deposit. Importantly, the 4,6% increase in the
resource grade has in turn led to a significant improvement in the projected mining grade with all of the
accompanying benefits that follow. It goes a long way towards reducing the risk of negative cost surprises and
potentially lowers the cost per ounce or increasing the life of the ore body.

Project changes
The Reserve/Resource upgrade of Phase 1 has increased the planned Life of Mine production by 10% to
2 065 million ounces of gold from 1,875 million ounces previously. In addition, the planned Life of Mine silver
production has increased by 5% to 26 744 million ounces.
Progress towards final project release and construction has progressed slower than anticipated with the main delays
arising from the final phases of the licensing process which required detailed interdependent negotiations with
Papua New Guinea Central Government, Provincial Government, Local Government and Landowners respectively.
The final agreements were concluded and signed at a ceremony on 5 August 2005.
With all licensing, environmental permitting and compensation agreements now completed, the final project
engineering updates are being completed. The mine construction finance will only be released after the feasibility
has passed through a final assessment. The change in timing comes in the light of cost pressures in the capital
construction industry as a consequence of the continuing commodities boom that has persisted since the results of
the original feasibility study were announced two years ago. The final assessment is planned for completion by the
end of November.
Assuming project release is given pending the final cost and return estimates, the commencement of the mine site
project construction is now scheduled for December 2005 and the revised capital estimate is AU$277 million versus
the AU$260 million previously estimated.
The changes to capex are largely related to increases in the cost of steel and infrastructure whilst there have also
been offsetting changes to the operating costs. The positive variances in operating costs relate largely to the

increased grades and the negative variances relate to a modest increase in the stripping ratio and higher diesel
price assumptions.

Wafi Gold
The Wafi Diamond drilling program that commenced during the end of last year is now completed. A total of
11 holes were drilled for 4,147.40m. The overall objective of drilling in the Link Zone was to test for a potential
continuation of the high grade (7.0 g/t) gold mineralization below the Diatreme Breccia, to test the lateral extent of
the Western Zone and to drill test the Nabonga Prospect (rock chip results of 2m @ 23.52 g/t and 10m @ 2.16 g/t).
The first phase of exploration for the northern extensions of the high-grade core of the Wafi gold resource was
completed during the quarter. The most encouraging results received to date are from the Western Zone where
hole WR200 intersected mineralization 50m south of the main drilling anomaly. Initial inspection of the assay results
appears to support a flat-lying, bedding parallel interpretation that would be consistent with the B-Zone to the south.
If this is true then there is potential for further up dip and hence shallower mineralization (to the west) to the Western
Zone. Drillhole WR199, targeting the northern extensions of the Link Zone, intersected low-grade, B-Zone style
mineralization. The result suggests that the high grade zone is further to the west.
Drillhole WR198 returned a significant width of low-grade mineralisation from the A-Zone which is located on the
eastern side of the Wafi system. This result follows up the previously reported intersection from the same hole of
31m grading 6,00g/tAu from 71m. Within this new 110m thick intersection are several higher-grade zones. This
result shows that mineralization continues to a considerable depth and hence could impact positively on an
integrated Wafi-Golpu underground operation.
Significant results reported to date from Wafi include:

A bulk metallurgical sample from Wafi diamond hole WR 197 was recovered. Whole core representing B Zone and
Link Zone ore was collected from 150m to 461m depth. Ore samples were cold stored and shipped to Australia for
metallurgical test work. Interval assay work was almost completed at the end of the quarter.
Selected mineralised intervals will be tested over the next six months to determine the suitability of alternative
bioxidation processing options. A pre-feasibility budget and schedule were compiled to investigate underground
mining of high grade Link Zone ore, which includes limited geotechnical drilling. Mine optimisations and financial
models will be re-run based upon outcomes from the first pass mining study and process evaluation and latest
resource model.
Golpu Copper Porphyry
In preparation for the forthcoming pre-feasibility study the creation of an updated geological model commenced.
This will aid the design of the geotechnical and resource definition holes required for the study. A team has been
assembled to carry out the pre-feasibility programme.
REGIONAL EXPLORATION
Moa Creek Prospect
Anomalous gold results have been reported from manual trenches within the immediate mineralised area further
confirm in-situ gold mineralisation. Gold mineralisation occurred as oxidised, manganese stockwork veins and as
replacement style mineralisation. Replacement style mineralisation was further exposed in a manual trench
(Trench 5) located 300m west of the main zone of gold mineralisation. The mineralisation is in a form of massive
bedded sulphide mineralisation hosted in bedded metaphyllite. This strongly suggests a “foot print” of a
replacement style mineralisation.

Mt Watut
Regional Structural Analysis conducted in February, suggests this area as particularly interesting especially from
historical airborne magnetic survey which defined a N-S trending complex of small circular magnetic lows flanked
by magnetic highs that strongly suggest a large intrusive complex. A field visit resulted in the discovery of one felsic
porphyry sample containing disseminated malachite.
AUSTRALIA
Northern Territory Burnside Joint Venture (50%)
Drilling was completed during the quarter on the Cosmo deep resources. Intersections on the Eastern lodes
section upper level have successfully in-filled the resource model and intersections on the lower levels are
indicating a potential increase in average grade at depth. Western lode intersections will extend the current
resource model, as they are in the upper levels, where the Burnside JV has not previously undertaken any drilling.
Work is continuing on the Cosmo Deeps pre-feasibility study. The Kazi open pit resource was reviewed in the June
quarter and will be converted to reserve status in the September quarter following pit design and evaluation work.
We are in discussions with our Joint Venture partners on how to take the project forward.
Maude Creek tenements
The counter-party interested in these tenements, located in the Northern Territory, has exercised its option to
acquire these tenements by paying an upfront purchase price of A$ 3 million in cash, with deferred cash payments
of A$4 million plus a royalty payable when they make the decision to start mining and on commissioning of the mill.
Other
During the quarter the company disposed of its 30% stake in PT IMK, an Indonesian project inherited with the
acquisition of Abelle, for A$2.6 million, as well as its 15% interest in Yilgarn Mining for A$1.2 million. The interest in
Yilgarn was acquired as part of the Abelle transaction.
Harmony Australia is currently investigating options to turn prospective Nickel ground around its South Kalgoorlie
Mines to account.

Basis of accounting
The unaudited results for the quarter and the year have been prepared on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis. These
consolidated quarterly statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies are consistent
with those applied in the previous financial year.
The primary reporting segment for the group is by business segment. As there is only one business segment, being mining, extraction and
production of gold, the relevant disclosures have been given in the abridged balance sheet and condensed income statement.
Audit review
The year end results have been reviewed in terms of Rule 3.23 of the Listing Requirement of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa by the
company’s auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. The unqualified review opinion is available on request from the Company Secretary.

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 R252 million (negative US$38 million) at 30 June 2005 (at
31 March 2005: R225 million or US$36 million). The values at 30 June 2005 were based on a gold price of US$435
(A$571) per ounce, exchange rates of US$1/R6,6670 and A$1/US$0.7622 and prevailing market interest rates and
volatilities at that date. These valuations were provided by independent risk and treasury management experts.
At 29 July 2005, the marked-to-market value of the hedge book was a negative R222 million (negative
US$34 million), based on a gold price of US$427 (A$563) per ounce, exchange rates of US$1/R6,56 and
A$1/US$0,7579 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.
** 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 30 June 2005.

Gold lease rates
During the June quarter, Harmony closed out the remaining gold lease rate swaps which were inherited through
the acquisition of Hill 50.
Interest rate swaps
The Group has interest rate swap agreements to convert R600 million of its R1.2 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 negative R24 million (US$4 million) at 30 June 2005, based on the prevailing interest rates and
volatilities at the time.

Important Information
In connection with the proposed merger, Harmony has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a registration statement on Form F-4, which includes a preliminary prospectus and related exchange offer materials, to register the Harmony ordinary shares (including Harmony ordinary shares represented by Harmony American Depository Shares (“ADSs”)) to be issued in exchange for Gold Fields ordinary shares held by holders located in the United States of America (“United States” or “US”) and for Gold Fields ADSs held by holders wherever located, as well as a Statement on Schedule TO. Investors and holders of Gold Fields securities are strongly advised to read the registration statement and the preliminary prospectus, the related exchange offer materials and the final prospectus (when available), the Statement on Schedule TO and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments and supplements to those documents, because they contain important information. Investors and holders of Gold Fields securities may obtain free copies of the registration statement, the preliminary and final prospectus and related exchange offer materials and the Statement on Schedule TO, as well as other relevant documents filed with the SEC, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov
and will receive information at an appropriate time on how to obtain transaction-related documents for free from Harmony or its duly designated agent.
This communication is for information purposes only. It shall not constitute an offer to purchase or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to sell or exchange any securities of Gold Fields or an offer to sell or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities of Harmony in the US, nor shall there be any sale or exchange of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction. The distribution of this communication may, in some countries, be restricted by law or regulation. Accordingly, persons who come into possession of this communication should inform themselves of and observe these restrictions. The solicitation of offers to buy Gold Fields ordinary shares (including Gold Fields ordinary shares represented by Gold Fields ADSs) in the US will only be made pursuant to a prospectus and related offer materials that Harmony is sending to holders of Gold Fields securities. The Harmony ordinary shares (including Harmony ordinary shares represented by Harmony ADSs) may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, in the US prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. No offering of securities shall be made in the US except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Forward-looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Harmony’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing services, plans and objectives of management, markets for stock and other matters. Statements in this quarterly report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “expect,” “anticipates,”“believes,”“intends,”“estimates” and similar expressions. These statements are only predictions. All forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, and we cannot assure you that such statements will prove to be correct. Risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, including, among others, those relating to the future business prospects, revenues and income of Harmony, wherever they may occur in this quarterly report and the exhibits to this quarterly report, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management of Harmony and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. As a consequence, these forward-looking statements should be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this quarterly report. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
  overall economic and business conditions in South Africa and elsewhere;
•  the ability to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other cost savings in connection with past and future acquisitions;
•  decreases in the market price of gold;
•  the occurrence of hazards associated with underground and surface gold mining;
•  the occurrence of labor disruptions;
•  availability, terms and deployment of capital;
•  changes in government regulation, particularly mining rights and environmental regulation;
•  fluctuations in exchange rates;
•  currency devaluations and other macroeconomic monetary policies; and
•  socio-economic instability in South Africa and regionally.
