ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note A. Basis of presentation
     
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
   
 
   
The balance sheet as at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.
   
 
   
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010.
   
Note B. Accounting developments
Recently adopted pronouncements
Disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses
     
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) guidance was issued for the disclosure of the allowance for credit losses and financing receivable modifications. The expanded disclosures include roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit losses and enhanced disclosure of financing receivables that were modified during a reporting period and those that were previously modified and have re-defaulted. The new disclosure requirements are required for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Except for presentation changes, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
   
Fair value measurements
     
In January 2010, the FASB ASC guidance for disclosures about fair value measurements was updated requiring level 3 disclosure details regarding separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. The disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company does not have Level 3 fair value measurements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note B. Accounting developments (continued)
Recently issued pronouncements
Goodwill impairment testing
     
In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance which simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The guidance allows both public and nonpublic entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under that option, an entity no longer would be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance also includes examples of the types of events and circumstances to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the updated guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
   
Presentation of comprehensive income
     
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance for disclosures about comprehensive income. The guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. The main provisions of the guidance provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income in either one statement or two consecutive statements. The current option in US GAAP that permits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity will be eliminated. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the two consecutive statement approach and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within US GAAP. The update will supersede most of the FASB ASC guidance for fair value measurements, although many of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes. The amendments are effective in the first quarter of 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of the updated guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FirstRand Bank Limited short-term loan facility (3)
   
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repaid an amount of $99 million and terminated its short-term loan facility, entered into during November 2010, with FirstRand Bank Limited. The loan was ZAR based.
   
 
   
(3) Outstanding amounts bear interest at a margin of 0.95 percent over the Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (“JIBAR”).
   
 
   
Convertible bonds
   
The issue of convertible bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $732.5 million at an interest rate of 3.5 percent was concluded on May 22, 2009. These bonds are convertible into ADSs at an initial conversion price of $47.6126. The conversion price is subject to standard weighted average anti-dilution protection. The convertible bonds were issued by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings Finance plc, a finance company wholly-owned by AngloGold Ashanti Limited. AngloGold Ashanti Limited has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the convertible bonds issued by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings Finance plc. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of AngloGold Ashanti Limited to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
   
 
   
The convertible bonds mature on May 22, 2014. However, at any time on or after June 12, 2012 the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem all (but not part) of the convertible bonds at their principal amount together with accrued interest if the volume weighted average price of the ADSs that would be delivered by the Company on the conversion of a convertible bond of a principal amount of $100,000 exceeds $130,000 on each of at least 20 consecutive dealing days ending not earlier than five days prior to the date that the Company gives notice of the redemption.
   
 
   
Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, each convertible bond holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem its convertible bonds at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon. If the convertible bond holder elects to convert its convertible bonds in connection with such change of control, the Company will pay a “make whole” premium to such convertible bond holder in connection with such conversion.
   
 
   
The Company is separately accounting for the conversion features of the convertible bonds at fair value as a derivative liability with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings each period. The total fair value of the derivative liability on May 22, 2009 (date of issue) amounted to $142.2 million. The difference between the initial carrying value and the stated value of the convertible bonds is being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 5 year term of the bonds.
   
 
   
The convertible bonds and associated derivative liability (which has been accounted for separately) are summarized as follows:

Note E. Debt (continued)
     
Debt carried at fair value
   
   
Mandatory convertible bonds
   
In September 2010, the Company issued mandatory convertible bonds at a coupon rate of 6 percent due in September 2013. The conversion of the mandatory convertible bonds into ADSs was subject to shareholder approval, which was granted in October 2010. These bonds are convertible into a variable number of ADSs, ranging from 18,140,000 at a share price equal to or lesser than $43.50, to 14,511,937 at a share price equal to or greater than $54.375, each as calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in the indenture and subject to adjustment.
   
 
   
The mandatory convertible bonds contain certain embedded derivatives relating to change in control and anti-dilution protection provisions. The FASB ASC guidance contains an election for the Company to record the entire instrument at fair value as opposed to separating the embedded derivatives from the instrument. The shareholders have authorized that the convertible bonds will be settled in equity and not have any cash settlement potential except if a fundamental change or conversion rate adjustment causes the number of ADSs deliverable upon conversion to exceed the number of shares reserved for such purpose, among other circumstances provided in the indenture, and therefore the Company has chosen to recognize the instrument, in its entirety, at fair value. Depending on the final calculated share price on the date of conversion, the liability recognized may differ from the principal amount.
   
 
   
Other convertible bonds that have been issued by the Company will only be settled in equity if future events, outside of the control of the Company, result in equity settlement and thus have a potential cash settlement at maturity that will not exceed the principal amount, in those circumstances the liabilities are recognized at amortized cost.
   
 
   
In determining the fair value liability of the mandatory convertible bonds, the Company has measured the effect based on the ex interest NYSE closing price on the reporting date. The ticker code used by the NYSE for the mandatory convertible bonds is AUPRA. The accounting policy of the Company is to recognize interest expense separately from the fair value adjustments in the income statement. Interest is recognized at a quarterly coupon rate of 6 percent per annum. Fair value adjustments are included in Non-hedge derivative loss and movement on bonds in the income statement. See note G.
   
 
   
The contractual principal amount of the mandatory convertible bonds is $789 million, provided the calculated share price of the Company is within the range of $43.50 to $54.375. If the calculated share price is below $43.50, the Company will recognize a gain on the principal amount and above $54.375 a loss. As at June 30, 2011, the actual share price was $42.09.
   
 
   
The mandatory convertible bonds were issued by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings Finance plc, a finance company wholly-owned by AngloGold Ashanti Limited. AngloGold Ashanti Limited has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the mandatory subordinated convertible bonds issued by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings Finance plc. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of AngloGold Ashanti Limited to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The net gain recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011 relates to the fair value movements of the conversion features of convertible bonds.
               
               
During the latter part of 2010, the Company eliminated its gold hedge book. The final phase of the hedge restructuring was funded with proceeds from the equity offering and the three-year mandatory convertible bonds issued in September 2010, as well as cash from internal sources and debt facilities.
               
 
               
As a result of the accelerated cash settlement of the normal purchase and sale exempted (“NPSE”) contracts during July 2009, the FASB ASC guidance on derivatives and hedging necessitated a review of the continuing designation of, and accounting treatment for, the remaining NPSE contracts that were not part of the accelerated settlement. Management concluded, in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC guidance, to re-designate all remaining NPSE contracts as non-hedge derivatives and to account for such contracts at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value accounted for in the income statement.
               
             
The effect of the NPSE re-designation in July 2009 and subsequent accounting for these contracts is stated below.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP
Note N. Financial and derivative instruments
     
In the normal course of its operations, the Company is exposed to gold and other commodity price, currency, interest rate, equity price, liquidity and non-performance risk, which includes credit risk. The Company is also exposed to certain by-product commodity price risk. In order to manage these risks, the Company may enter into transactions which make use of derivatives. The Company has developed a risk management process to facilitate, control and monitor these risks. The board has approved and monitors this risk management process, inclusive of documented treasury policies, counterpart limits, controlling and reporting structures. The Company does not acquire, hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.
   
 
   
Contracts that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are designated as the hedging instruments hedging the variability of forecasted cash flows from the sale of production into the spot market and from capital expenditure denominated in a foreign currency and are classified as cash flow hedges under the FASB ASC guidance on derivatives and hedging. Cash flows related to these instruments designated as qualifying hedges are reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flow from the items being hedged. Accordingly, cash flows relating to the settlement of forward sale commodity derivatives contracts hedging the forecasted sale of production into the spot market as well as the forward sale currency derivative contracts hedging the forecasted capital expenditure, have been reflected upon settlement as a component of operating cash flows. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in (gain)/loss on non-hedge derivatives in the income statement during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $nil million (2010: $nil million). As at June 30, 2011, the Company does not have any open cash flow hedge contracts relating to product sales or forecasted capital expenditure. Cash flow hedge losses pertaining to capital expenditure of $3 million as at June 30, 2011 are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized as an adjustment to depreciation expense until 2017.
   
 
   
A gain on non-hedge derivatives of $88 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011 (2010: loss of $409 million). See note G “Non-hedge derivative (gain)/loss and movement on bonds” for additional information.
   
 
   
Gold price management activities
   
 
   
Gold price risk arises from the risk of an adverse effect of current or future earnings resulting from fluctuations in the price of gold. The Company historically utilized derivatives as part of its hedging of the risk. In order to provide financial exposure to the rising spot price of gold and the potential for enhanced cash-flow generation the Company completed its final tranche of the hedge buy-back program during 2010 and settled all forward gold and foreign exchange contracts that had been used by the Company in the past to manage those risks. At June 30, 2011, there were no net forward sales contracts, net call options sold and net put options sold.

Note N. Financial and derivative instruments (continued)
     
Foreign exchange price risk protection agreements
   
 
   
The Company, from time to time, may enter into currency forward exchange and currency option contracts to hedge certain anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The objective of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in US dollars will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
   
 
   
As at June 30, 2011, the Company had no open forward exchange or currency option contracts in its currency hedge position.
   
 
   
Interest and liquidity risk
   
 
   
Fluctuations in interest rates impacts interest paid and received on the short-term cash investments and financing activities, giving rise to interest rate risk.
   
 
   
In the ordinary course of business, the Company receives cash from the proceeds of its gold sales and is required to fund working capital requirements. This cash is managed to ensure surplus funds are invested in a manner to achieve market related returns while minimizing risks.
   
 
   
The Company is able to actively source financing at competitive rates. The counterparts are financial and banking institutions and their credit ratings are regularly monitored by the Company.

Non-performance risk
   
 
   
Realization of contracts is dependent upon counterparts’ performance. The Company has not obtained collateral or other security to support the financial instruments subject to non-performance risk, but the credit standing of counterparts was monitored on a regular basis throughout the period. The Company spreads it business over a number of financial and banking institutions to minimize the risk of potential non-performance risk. Furthermore, the approval process of counterparts and the limits applied to each counterpart were monitored by the board of directors. Where possible, ISDA netting agreements were put into place by management.
   
 
   
The combined maximum credit risk exposure at June 30, 2011 amounts to $nil million. Credit risk exposure netted by open derivative positions with counterparts was $nil million as at June 30, 2011. No set-off is applied to balance sheet amounts due to the different maturity profiles of assets and liabilities.
   
 
   
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities reflects non-performance risk relating to the counterparts and the Company, respectively, as at June 30, 2011.
   
 
   
Fair value of financial instruments
   
 
   
The estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.

Note N. Financial and derivative instruments (continued)
     
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
   
 
   
Cash restricted for use, cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt
   
 
   
The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of these instruments.
   
 
   
Long-term debt
   
 
   
The mandatory convertible bonds are carried at fair value. The fair value of the convertible and rated bonds are shown at their quoted market value. Other long-term debt re-prices on a short-term floating rate basis, and accordingly the carrying amount approximates to fair value.
   
 
   
Derivatives
   
 
   
The fair value of volatility-based instruments (i.e. options) are estimated based on market prices, volatilities, credit risk and interest rates for the periods under review.
   
 
   
Investments
   
 
   
Marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Marketable debt securities classified as held to maturity are measured at amortized cost. Non-marketable assets classified as held to maturity are measured at amortized cost. The fair value of marketable debt securities and non-marketable assets has been calculated using market interest rates. Investments in non-marketable debt securities classified as held to maturity are measured at amortized cost. The cost method investment is carried at cost. There is no active market for the investment and the fair value cannot be reliably measured.

  Ground water pollution            
 
               
 
  The Company has identified groundwater contamination plumes at certain of its operations, which have occurred primarily as a result of seepage from mine residue stockpiles. Numerous scientific, technical and legal studies have been undertaken to assist in determining the magnitude of the contamination and to find sustainable remediation solutions. The Company has instituted processes to reduce future potential seepage and it has been demonstrated that Monitored Natural Attenuation (“MNA”) by the existing environment will contribute to improvement in some instances. Furthermore, literature reviews, field trials and base line modeling techniques suggest, but are not yet proven, that the use of phyto-technologies can address the soil and groundwater contamination. Subject to the completion of trials and the technology being a proven remediation technique, no reasonable estimate can be made for the obligation.            
 
               
(2)
  Deep ground water pollution — South Africa            
 
               
 
  The Company has identified a flooding and future pollution risk posed by deep groundwater in the Klerksdorp and Far West Rand gold fields. Various studies have been undertaken by AngloGold Ashanti since 1999. Due to the interconnected nature of mining operations, any proposed solution needs to be a combined one supported by all the mines located in these gold fields. As a result, the Department of Mineral Resources and affected mining companies are involved in the development of a “Regional Mine Closure Strategy”. In view of the limitation of current information for the estimation of a liability, no reasonable estimate can be made for the obligation.

  Sales tax on gold deliveries — Brazil            
 
               
 
  Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (“MSG”) received two tax assessments from the State of Goiás related to payments of sales taxes on gold deliveries for export. AngloGold Ashanti Córrego do Sitío Mineração S.A. manages the operation. In November 2006, the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favor of MSG and fully cancelled the tax liability related to the first period. In July 2011, the administrative council’s second chamber ruled in favor of MSG and fully cancelled the tax liability related to the second period. The State of Goiás has appealed to the full board of the State of Goiás tax administrative council. The Company believes both assessments are in violation of federal legislation on sales taxes.            
 
               
 
  The Company’s attributable share of the assessments are as follows:            
 
  First assessment         63
 
  Second assessment         39
 
             
 
            102

  MSG received a tax assessment in October 2003 from the State of Minas Gerais related to sales taxes on gold. The tax administrators rejected the Company’s appeal against the assessment. The Company is now appealing the dismissal of the case. The Company’s attributable share of the assessment is approximately:         11
 
               
 
  Subsidiaries of the Company in Brazil are involved in various disputes with tax authorities. These disputes involve federal tax assessments including income tax, royalties, social contributions and annual property tax. The amount involved is approximately:         31

  AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited received a tax assessment during September 2009 in respect of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax years following an audit by the tax authorities related to indirect taxes on various items. Management is of the opinion that the indirect taxes are not payable and the Company has lodged an objection.            
 
               
 
  The assessment is approximately:         12

  ODMWA litigation            
 
               
 
  The case of Mr Thembekile Mankayi was heard in the High Court of South Africa in June 2008, and an appeal heard in the Supreme Court of Appeals in 2010. In both instances judgment was awarded in favor of AngloGold Ashanti Limited. A further appeal that was lodged by Mr Mankayi was heard in the Constitutional Court in 2010. Judgment in the Constitutional Court was handed down on March 3, 2011.            
 
               
 
  Following the judgment, Mr Mankayi’s executor may proceed with his case in the High Court. This will comprise, amongst others, providing evidence showing that Mr Mankayi contracted silicosis as a result of negligent conduct on the part of AngloGold Ashanti.            
 
               
 
  The Company will defend the case and any subsequent claims on their merits. Should other individuals or groups lodge similar claims, these too would be defended by the Company and adjudicated by the courts on their merits.

  Royalty — Boddington Gold Mine            
 
               
 
  As a result of the sale of the interest in the Boddington Gold Mine during 2009, the Company is entitled to receive a royalty on any gold recovered or produced by the Boddington Gold Mine, where the gold price is in excess of Boddington Gold Mine’s cash costs plus $600 per ounce. The royalty is payable in each quarter from and after the second quarter in 2010, within forty five days of reporting period close and is capped at a total amount of $100 million.            
 
               
 
  Details of the royalty are as follows:

  Royalty — Tau Lekoa Gold Mine            
 
               
 
  As a result of the sale of the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine during 2010, the Company is entitled to receive a royalty on the production of a total of 1.5 million ounces by the Tau Lekoa Gold Mine and in the event that the average monthly rand price of gold exceeds R180,000 per kilogram (subject to an inflation adjustment). Where the average monthly rand price of gold does not exceed R180,000 per kilogram (subject to an inflation adjustment), the ounces produced in that quarter do not count towards the total 1.5 million ounces upon which the royalty is payable. The royalty will be determined at 3 percent of the net revenue (being gross revenue less state royalties) generated by the Tau Lekoa assets.

  AngloGold Ashanti USA reclamation bonds         88
 
               
 
  Pursuant to US environmental and mining requirements, gold mining companies are obligated to close their operations and rehabilitate the lands that they mine in accordance with these requirements. AngloGold Ashanti USA has posted reclamation bonds with various federal and state governmental agencies to cover potential rehabilitation obligations. The Company has provided a guarantee for these obligations which would be payable in the event of AngloGold Ashanti USA not being able to meet its rehabilitation obligations. The obligations will expire upon completion of such rehabilitation and release of such areas by the applicable federal and/or state agency. AngloGold Ashanti is not indemnified by third parties for any of the amounts that may be paid by AngloGold Ashanti under its guarantee.

Note P. Share incentive scheme and plans
Restructuring of ESOP and Black Economic Empowerment Transaction
         
On December 12, 2006, AngloGold Ashanti announced the finalization of the Bokamoso Employee Share Ownership Plan (“Bokamoso ESOP”) for employees of the South African operations. The Bokamoso ESOP creates an opportunity for AngloGold Ashanti and the unions to ensure a closer alignment of the interest between South African based employees and the Company. Participation is restricted to those employees not eligible for participation in any other South African share incentive plan.
       
 
       
On April 14, 2011, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, the National Union of Mineworkers (“NUM”), Solidarity, The Union (“UASA”), Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary) Limited and the Bokamoso ESOP Board of Trustees announced the restructuring of the empowerment transactions concluded respectively between the Company and the unions, and the Company and Izingwe Holdings (Proprietary) Limited (“Izingwe”) in 2006.
       
 
       
This restructuring was motivated by the fact that share price performance since the onset of the 2008 global financial crisis led to a situation where the first two tranches of E shares (otherwise known to participants as loan shares), which operate essentially as share appreciation rights, vested and lapsed at no additional value to Bokamoso ESOP beneficiaries and Izingwe.
       
 
       
In order to remedy this situation in a manner that would ensure an element of value accruing to participants, though at a reasonable incremental cost to AngloGold Ashanti shareholders, the scheme was restructured as follows:
       
 
       
     All lapsed loan shares that vested without value will be reinstated;
       
 
       
     The strike (base) price will be fixed at R320 per share for the Bokamoso ESOP and R330 for Izingwe;
       
 
       
    The notional interest charge will fall away;
       
 
       
     As before, 50 percent of any dividends declared will be used to reduce the strike price;
       
 
       
     As before, the remaining 50 percent is paid directly to participants under the empowerment transaction; and
       
 
       
     The life span of the scheme will be extended by an additional one year, the last vesting being in 2014, instead of 2013. A minimum payout on vesting of the E shares has been set at R40 each and a maximum payout of R70 each per E Share for Izingwe and R90 each for members of the Bokamoso ESOP (i.e. employees), plus the impact of the 50 percent of dividend flow. While the floor price provides certainty to all beneficiaries of the empowerment transactions, the creation of a ceiling serves to limit the cost to AngloGold Ashanti and its shareholders.
       
 
       
The total incremental fair value of awards granted were R29.14 per share and will be included in earnings up to the vesting date in 2014. The Company recorded a charge of $8 million to earnings during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of the restructuring.

Note S. Fair value measurements
     
The FASB ASC guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
   
 
   
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
 
   
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
 
   
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
   
 
   
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
   
 
   
The following table sets out the Company’s financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value, by level, within the hierarchy as at June 30, 2011 (in US Dollars, millions):
   
 
   
Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis
   
                                 
Description   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Cash and cash equivalents
    839                       839  
Marketable equity securities
    103                       103  
Mandatory convertible bonds
    (782 )                     (782 )
Option component of convertible bonds
            (88 )             (88 )
     
The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities. Due to the short maturity of cash, carrying amounts approximate fair values.
   
 
   
The Company’s marketable equity securities are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. They consist of investments in ordinary shares and are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
   
 
   
The Company’s mandatory convertible bonds are included in debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The bonds are valued using quoted market prices in an active market and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the bonds is calculated as the quoted market price of the bond multiplied by the quantity of bonds issued by the Company.
   
 
   
The conversion features of convertible bonds are included as derivatives on the balance sheet. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
   
 
   
The following inputs were used in the valuation of the conversion features of convertible bonds as at June 30:
   
         
    2011  
Market quoted bond price (percent)
    115.625  
Fair value of bond excluding conversion feature (percent)
    103.590  
Fair value of conversion feature (percent)
    12.035  
Total issued bond value ($ million)
    732.5  
     
The option component of the convertible bonds is calculated as the difference between the price of the bond including the option component (bond price) and the price excluding the option component (bond floor price).

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH US GAAP
In the following discussion references to rands, ZAR and R are to the lawful currency of the Republic of South Africa, references to US dollars, dollar or $ are to the lawful currency of the United States, references to euro or € are to the lawful currency of the member states of the European Union participating in the Economic and Monetary Union, references to AUD dollars and A$ are to the lawful currency of Australia, references to BRL is to the lawful currency of Brazil, reference to C$ is to the lawful currency of Canada and references to GHC or cedi are to the lawful currency of Ghana.
Introduction
AngloGold Ashanti’s operating results are directly related to the price of gold, which can fluctuate widely and which is affected by numerous factors beyond AngloGold Ashanti’s control, including industrial and jewellery demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the strength of the US dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted) and of other currencies, interest rates, actual or expected gold sales and purchases by central banks and the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), global or regional political or economic events, and production and cost levels in major gold-producing regions. In addition, the price of gold is often subject to sharp, short-term changes because of speculative activities. The shift in gold demand from physical demand to investment and speculative demand may exacerbate the volatility of gold prices.
The current demand for and supply of gold may affect gold prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as current supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of gold consists of a combination of new production and fabricated gold held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals.
As the amounts produced in any single year constitute a very small portion of the total potential supply of gold, variations in current production do not necessarily have a significant impact on the supply of gold or on its price. If revenue from gold sales falls for a substantial period below the Company’s cost of production at its operations, AngloGold Ashanti could determine that it is not economically feasible to continue commercial production at any or all of its operations or to continue the development of some or all of its projects.
     Impact of exchange rate fluctuations
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the rand weakened against the US dollar (based on the exchange rates of R6.57 and R6.74 per US dollar on January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively). The value of the rand strengthened by 8 percent against the US dollar when compared to the average exchange rates of the rand against the US dollar of R6.89 and R7.52 during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The stronger rand against the US dollar negatively impacted on the dollar denominated costs and therefore on the profitability of AngloGold Ashanti.
The value of the Australian dollar strengthened by 13 percent against the US dollar when compared to the average exchange rate of A$0.97 for the first six months of 2011 against an average exchange rate of A$1.12 for the same period in 2010. The value of the Brazilian real strengthened by 9 percent against the US dollar based on the average exchange rates of BRL1.63 and BRL1.80 per US dollar during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The strengthening of these currencies against the US dollar further negatively impacted the dollar denominated costs and therefore on the profitability of AngloGold Ashanti.
     Restructuring of ESOP and Black Economic Empowerment Transaction
On April 14, 2011, following the end of the quarter, AngloGold Ashanti announced the restructuring of its black economic empowerment transaction, initially entered into in 2006, to ensure the intended benefits accrue to its recipients, namely its South African employees, through the Bokamoso ESOP trust and BEE Partner, Izingwe Holdings.
The total incremental fair value of awards granted were R29.14 per share and will be included in earnings up to the vesting date in 2014. The Company recorded a charge of $8 million to earnings during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of the restructuring. The principal component of the restructured transaction is the reinstatement over the next three years of a total of approximately 1.37 million E Ordinary shares that have either lapsed or are expected to lapse without realizing the anticipated value for their holders. Also, an additional 48,923 new ordinary shares were allotted to employees who qualify for the scheme as of the original cut-off date.
Management believes that the restructuring has the potential to enhance labor relations within AngloGold Ashanti’s South African operations and, more broadly, reinforce AngloGold Ashanti’s reputation as a good corporate citizen in South Africa, as well as reinforcing the Company’s continued commitment to the spirit of transformation and empowerment as contained in the Mining Charter.

     Acquisitions and dispositions
The Company disposed of its subsidiary ISS International Limited during the first quarter of 2011. The sale closed on February 28, 2011 and the Company realized a profit of $2 million on disposal.
Gold market for the quarter ended June 30, 2011
Gold price movement and investment markets
     Gold price data
During April 2011, the gold price continued to benefit from ongoing economic uncertainty in Europe and the United States. Bullion traded to an intra-day high of $1,575 per ounce at the start of May. However this momentum was not sustained and after a brief correction, the price traded sideways for the balance of the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Many of the factors that drove gold in the first month of the quarter persisted as the European debt crisis worsened. Domestic politics in the United States saw the debt ceiling impasse adding uncertainty to global financial markets, which helped increase the price of gold. Despite the modest 4.5 percent increase in the average gold price in the second quarter of 2011, the increase marks the tenth consecutive quarter of growth and represents the longest period of continuous price increases since the 1920s. Post quarter-end, the gold price reached new record levels in the region of $1,900 per ounce in late August 2011.
     Investment demand
Exchange traded funds (“ETF”) holdings for the second quarter of 2011 remained fairly stagnant with net investment for the quarter at around 1.2 million ounces, growth of less than 2 percent from its opening position. In contrast, during the second quarter of 2010 when similar concerns over sovereign risk were escalating, ETF holdings grew by around 9 million ounces, most of which can be attributed to European ETFs. The COMEX net long position posted a high of 30.5 million ounces in the second quarter of 2011, which coincided with the increase in the gold price. Global estimated bar and coin demand from the December 2010 quarter to the June 2011 quarter was 1,396 tonnes, a 49 percent increase year on year; most of the growth was driven by European investors. While ETFs contribute significantly to global demand, the bar and coin market is approximately three times the size of the ETF market. In China, investment demand slowed from the highs of the first quarter of 2011, but still recorded year-on-year estimated growth of almost 10 percent. Fears over inflation similarly underpin the continuation of India’s record gold demand. In the second quarter of 2010, 154 tonnes were imported, while in the first two months of the June 2011 quarter, 192 tonnes flowed into India. Some 75 percent of this gold is believed to be destined for the jewellery market.
     Official sector
While the ETF markets failed to register growth, the official sector has been relatively active. In the first half of 2011, central banks bought about 151 tonnes. Of this, Mexico added some 100 tonnes, significantly increasing its holding from previous levels of 6.9 tonnes. Russia and Thailand were other notable buyers, further consolidating the trend of developing economies diversifying their central bank holdings. Sales under the third Central Bank Agreement for the current year to date are low as central banks expand their gold reserves.
     Jewellery sales
As mentioned, India’s strong growth in 2011 continued in the second quarter and the jewellery market remained buoyant. Unlike in 2010, consumers now appear accustomed to higher gold prices and many expect it to continue to rise through the year as fuel, food and certain consumer goods show no sign of ending their upward price trajectory. Gold price volatility was less pronounced in India during the second quarter as relative Rupee gold price stability helped ameliorate the situation. Demand in China slowed due to the relatively volatile gold price. The second quarter of 2011 is traditionally a slower quarter in China and the three months through June were no different, although year-on-year jewellery demand still registered an increase. One factor that may have dampened gold purchases was a new drive by commercial banks to attract liquidity by increasing the one-month interest rate for deposits to 7 percent, while the annual deposit rate is in the region of 3.5 percent. In the United States, the strategically vital high-end gold market continued to show signs of strength with an estimated growth of 15 percent. High-end gold brands continue to outperform lower- and mid-end providers as the high price of gold continues to degrade the gold content in cheaper jewellery.

Operating review for the six months ended June 30, 2011
Presented in the table below is selected operating data for AngloGold Ashanti for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The operating data gives effect to acquisitions and dispositions as of their effective dates:
                 
    Six months ended June 30,  
Operating data for AngloGold Ashanti   2011     2010  
 
Total gold production (000 oz)(1)
    2,124       2,205  
Capital expenditure ($ million)(1)(2)
    594       397  
 
(1)   Including equity accounted joint ventures.
 
(2)   Including noncontrolling interests.
     Gold production
AngloGold Ashanti’s total gold production for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately 81,000 ounces, or about 4 percent, to 2.12 million ounces from 2.20 million ounces produced in the same period in 2010. This reduction was primarily due to:
    the impact of flooding due to unprecedented heavy rainfall at Sunrise Dam in Australia and the subsequent ramp failure which resulted in the loss of 68,000 ounces; and
 
    the balance due to lower grades at some of the Continental African and American operations.
     Capital expenditures
Total capital expenditure of $594 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $397 million in the same period in 2010. This represented a $197 million, or 50 percent, increase from the same period in 2010. Expenditure increased in South Africa from $182 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $214 million in the same period in 2011 due to a stronger rand and expenditure on projects at the Moab Khotsong and Mponeng operations. In the Americas, expenditure increased by $42 million in Brazil largely due to expenditure incurred at the Córrego do Sítio project at AngloGold Ashanti Córrego do Sítio Mineração, by $9 million in North America related to the mine life extension project at Cripple Creek & Victor and by a further $13 million associated with a heap leach project at Cerro Vanguardia in Argentina. In Ghana, capital expenditure increased from $40 million incurred in the first six months of 2010 to $95 million in 2011, related mainly to the construction of the tailings storage facility at Iduapriem and capital spent at Obuasi. In the DRC, capital expenditure increased from $10 million incurred for the first six months of 2010 to $34 million for the same period of 2011 relating to the development of the Kibali project.

Comparison of financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
     Revenues
Revenues from product sales and other income increased from $2,406 million in the first six months of 2010 to $3,020 million in the same period of 2011, representing a 26 percent increase over the period in 2010. This was due to an increase in the average spot price of gold from $1,154 per ounce for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to $1,441 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2011, which more than offset a decrease in production. The majority of product sales consisted of US dollar-denominated gold sales.
     Production costs
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, AngloGold Ashanti incurred production costs of $1,410 million representing an increase of $214 million or 18 percent from $1,196 million recorded for the same period in 2010. The increase was mainly as a result of an increase in rehabilitation and operational costs including labor, consumables, power, services and inventory adjustments. Operational cost increases were due to inflation, annual labor cost increases, increased contractor costs at Sunrise Dam, power tariff increases mainly in South Africa and Obuasi (Ghana) and higher rehabilitation costs were recorded at AngloGold Ashanti Córrego do Sítio Mineração and Serra Grande. The strengthening of local currencies against the US dollar also adversely impacted US dollar denominated production costs.
     Exploration costs
Exploration costs increased from $94 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $120 million in the same period in 2011 mainly due to an increased level of expenditure at Mongbwalu in the DRC, La Colosa and Gramalote in Colombia and increased brownfield exploration activities at operating mines.
     General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from $100 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $136 million in the same period in 2011, mainly due to labor costs, retention and bonus costs and the effects of a stronger rand relative to the US dollar.
     Royalties
Royalties paid by AngloGold Ashanti increased from $58 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, to $87 million paid in the same period in 2011, mainly as a result of the introduction in the South African Mineral and Petroleum Resources Act of royalties payable in South Africa from March 1, 2010 as well as the high spot price of gold. Royalties recorded by the South African mines were $33 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8 million in the same period in 2010.
Royalties paid were also higher at the Geita mine (Tanzania) and Cerro Vanguardia (Argentina) as a result of higher spot prices of gold. Royalties are predominantly calculated based on a percentage of revenues and are payable primarily to local governments.
     Depreciation, depletion and amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased by $51 million to $387 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $336 million recorded in the same period in 2010, mainly due to changes in life of mine estimates at the South African mines and an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization in Tanzania and Brazil due to the increased production at the Geita and Còrrego do Sìtio mines.

51


 

     Impairment of assets
Impairment charges decreased from $19 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $11 million in the same period in 2011. Impairments recorded in 2011 mainly relate to the write-off of capital assets (at Savuka) and the abandonment of shaft pillar development (at Tau Tona) both in South Africa.
     Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $24 million to $91 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $67 million recorded in the same period in 2010. The increase is mainly due to interest charges on the rated and mandatory bonds, which were issued in April 2010 and September 2010, respectively, partially offset by lower interest paid due to the repayment of the 2009 Term Facility during 2010.
     Accretion expense
Accretion expense increased from $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $14 million in the same period in 2011. Accretion relates to the unwinding of discounted future reclamation obligations to present values and increases the reclamation obligations to its future estimated payout.

     Taxation expense
A net taxation expense of $284 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net expense of $106 million in the same period in 2010. The higher tax charge for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is mainly due to higher earnings and the reversal of deferred taxation assets. Deferred tax charges in the six months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $166 million compared to a deferred tax benefit of $21 million in the same period in 2010. The higher deferred taxation in 2011 mainly relates to the reversal of deferred taxation assets arising from the utilization of tax losses in South Africa. Charges for current tax in the six months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $118 million compared to $127 million in the same period in 2010. Refer to note H “Taxation” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
     Equity income in associates
Equity income in affiliates decreased to $28 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $39 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to a decrease in earnings from operations in Mali resulting from lower revenues and production (at Yatela).
     Noncontrolling interests net income
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased from $23 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $20 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, mainly due to decreased revenue at Serra Grande in South America.
     Net income
Net income of $723 million was recorded during the first six months of 2011 compared to a net income of $27 million during the first six months of 2010, mainly due to increased revenue from product sales due to a higher spot gold price. The net income attributable to AngloGold Ashanti (after allowing for non-controlling interests) amounted to $703 million for the six months to June 30, 2011 compared to a net income of $4 million for the same period in 2010.

Liquidity and capital resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,091 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $514 million when compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $577 million for the comparable period in 2010. This was mainly as a result of increased profitability in the six months ended June 30, 2011 (relative to the same period in 2010), as a result of higher realized gold prices and lower payments to suppliers.
Investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in a net cash outflow of $633 million compared to a net cash outflow of $319 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Additions to property, plant and equipment, which included capital expenditure of $556 million compared to $381 million in the same period in 2010, were recorded in the first six months of 2011.
Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in an outflow of $202 compared to an outflow of $481 million in the six months ended June 31, 2010. Cash outflows from repayment of debt of $155 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 included principal repayments of $50 million on the $1.0 billion syndicated loan facility and $99 million on the loan from FirstRand Bank Limited. Financing activities for non-hedge derivatives maturing resulted in an outflow of $133 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company made dividend payments of $54 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
During July 2011, the Company drew down $100 million on its $1.0 billion syndicated loan facility to fund ongoing capital projects.
As a result of the items discussed above, at June 30, 2011 AngloGold Ashanti had $839 million of cash and cash equivalents compared with $586 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $253 million. At June 30, 2011, the Company had a total of $1.16 billion available but undrawn under its credit facilities.
AngloGold Ashanti is currently involved in a number of capital projects. As at June 30, 2011, $403 million of AngloGold Ashanti’s short-term future capital expenditure had been contracted for and another approximately $2,301 million (of which approximately $1,659 billion is expected to be contracted within one year) had been authorized but not yet contracted for, as described in note O “Commitments and contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. AngloGold Ashanti intends to finance these capital expenditures from cash on hand, cash flow from operations, existing and new replacement credit facilities and long-term debt financing and, potentially if deemed appropriate, the issuance of equity and equity linked instruments.
Cash generated from operations is subject to operational, market and other risks. Distributions from operations may be subject to foreign investment and exchange control laws and regulations and the quantity of foreign exchange available in offshore countries. In addition, distributions from joint ventures are subject to the relevant board approval.
