Given this background I am pleased to be able to report that the underlying proﬁts of our gold recovery business in South Africa and Ghana have been maintained materially at the same level as in the previous year. At the same time, management has been implementing plans to improve processing and proﬁtability at these gold recovery operations, allowing us to maintain our position as a proﬁtable, dividend paying, debt free gold company. Our two market leading gold recovery businesses remain at the core of our business, with our mature South African gold recovery operation performing particularly well, as the most cash-generative division of our Company during the period. In South Africa the recent rapid decline in the value of the South African Rand has also largely mitigated the reduction in the gold price. At our Ghanaian gold operation, whilst still cash generative, we sustained a difﬁcult period with unlawful competition reducing the material available for processing. The Ghanaian Government has recognised this and has put in place stringent practices to curtail such activities. In both countries, therefore, Goldplat’s operations are in a better competitive environment than was the case last year. Consequently, we see signiﬁcant development potential for our gold recovery operations and we are examining the potential for expanding the gold recovery business across the continent in order to generate new revenue streams and capitalise on this prospective opportunity. While the ﬁrst half of the current ﬁnancial year remains a difﬁcult trading period, we expect the improvements to show in the second half year. The robustness of our gold recovery operations was further highlighted by a strategic review undertaken earlier in the year. The review, which focussed on maintaining strong revenue growth and stable margins in the uncertain gold price environment, conﬁrmed gold recovery as the most proﬁtable and core facet of our business. Accordingly, we de-prioritised our exploration and development portfolio in Kenya, Ghana and Burkina Faso during the period. As a result, in order to eliminate losses caused by continued operational constraints, we took the decision to write-down a portion of the pre-production expenses at the Kilimapesa Gold Mine in Kenya (‘Kilimapesa’) in H1 2013, and in June 2013 placed the mine on a care and maintenance programme until the project economics can justify the reopening. With regards to our smaller Burkina Faso and Ghanaian gold projects we are continuing to evaluate opportunities to best realise value from these exploration assets and will provide an update on this in due course. “We intend to continue to pay dividends to shareholders, and propose a gross dividend of 0.12p per share” its ﬁrst dividend The Company paid in 2012. Notwithstanding the problems encountered in 2013, we intend to continue to pay dividends to shareholders, and propose a gross dividend of 0.12p per share for the year (2012: 0.6p per share). The reduced level is regrettable, however we feel that a long term commitment to dividend payments is reﬂective of the positive outlook we maintain for Goldplat’s future and also in the best interests of our supportive shareholders. In addition, we were pleased to announce that we successfully implemented a share buyback initiative, primarily to help crystallise Goldplat’s value, as we believe that Goldplat’s current share price does not fully reﬂect its assets and proﬁt potential. This initiative was approved in March 2013, and in June 2013 we purchased 1,000,000 of our own ordinary shares of 1p each at an average price of 6.7775 pence per share, all to be held as treasury shares. GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 3 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) With the above developments in mind, whilst our operating proﬁt has decreased due to the economic losses incurred during the period at our Kilimapesa mine in Kenya, I see a bright future for Goldplat as we concentrate on the development and growth of our proﬁtable, core gold recovery businesses. FINANCIALS Operating proﬁts for the year, the measure by which Goldplat should be judged, are £2,639,000, (2012: £4,527,000) a reduction of £1,888,000. Of this reduction £1,307,000 represents mining activities at Kilimapesa, where a proﬁt of £319,000 in 2012 became a loss of £983,000 in 2013. The decision to put Kilimapesa on care and maintenance has stemmed such losses. The decline in proﬁts at the gold recovery operations of £586,000 is partly explained by one off charges under IFRS 2 for the grant of options and by duplication of management during a change over period. Stripping out those items results in a reduction in operating proﬁt from the core recovery business of well under 10%, which is less than might be expected from the reduction in the gold price. The headline proﬁt of £207,000 is misleading, and does not truly represent the results of the period. During the year the directors have re-evaluated the investment in subsidiaries in the light of the exploration results achieved and the reduction in the gold price, as well as the legal requirement to transfer part of the equity in certain subsidiaries to local ownership. This legal requirement applies in South Africa and in Kenya. We decided to bring forward the sale of 11% of our South African subsidiary, which was required by 1 May 2014, as part of this process. We achieved an excellent price for this stake, resulting in a proﬁt of £1,657,000. It is noteworthy that this alone represents a value for our holding in the South African subsidiary of more than 10p per Goldplat share. At the same time the Kenyan Government is introducing legislation requiring 10% of mining companies to be ceded to the State without compensation, and provision has been made for that loss. The results of exploration on our properties at Anumso Gold in Ghana and Nyieme in Burkina Faso have been published during the year. On the basis of such results, and the current gold price, we consider that the costs of the properties plus the exploration costs, mainly incurred in previous periods, may not be justiﬁed, and we have written down the carrying value accordingly, as well as taking a prudent view of the value of Kilimapesa Gold generally. Although it might be expected that all amounts should be dealt with in the same section of the Income Statement, IFRS requires that the actual realised proﬁt on the disposal of the South African subsidiary be removed from the Income Statement and treated as a Change in Equity, while the provision for the loss on ceding 10% of Kilimapesa Gold is charged before arriving at the proﬁt for the year. That results in the proﬁt before tax being stated at £1,657,000 less than would otherwise be the case. “I see a bright future for Goldplat as we concentrate on the development and growth of our proﬁtable, core gold recovery businesses” For these reasons, the proﬁt before tax is reduced to £207,000 (2012: £5,244,000). GOLD RECOVERY OPERATIONS Our market leading gold recovery operations in South Africa and Ghana continue to operate proﬁtably, recovering precious metals from by-products of the mining process, such as woodchips, mill liners, ﬁne carbon, slags, sludges and waste grease. Goldplat’s gold recovery services provide an economic method for mines to dispose of waste materials while at the same time adhering to a mine’s environmental obligations. Goldplat boasts a substantial blue-chip supplier base, primarily at its South African operation, that includes Anglogold Ashanti, Goldﬁelds and Harmony. We remain the leading company in the gold recovery arena in Africa through continuous investment in our operations and the implementation of initiatives to optimise our production capabilities. In particular, our mature South African gold recovery operation has performed strongly during FY 2013, whilst our Ghanaian gold recovery operation, whilst still proﬁtable, 4 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 South African gold recovery operation CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT has seen some operational difﬁculties which has impacted on its growth during the period. Consequently, we remain focussed on maintaining each plant’s operational efﬁciency, with cash generation and stable margins remaining a key focus, and initiatives have been put in place with regards to improving the operational efﬁciency of our Ghanaian operation where the Board see great growth potential for the future. GOLDPLAT RECOVERY (PTY) LIMITED – SOUTH AFRICA (‘GPL’) Goldplat’s South African gold recovery operation, GPL, continues to generate strong revenues for the Company, underlining the fundamental value and success of the recovery business and securing its position as a market leader. Indeed, for FY 2013 GPL produced 16,231 ounces of gold, generating a gross proﬁt of £3,231,516. This proﬁtability has been achieved through our continued commitment to improving operations; this past year we have implemented new capital projects to increase gold production and reduce the stockpile inventory at GPL. Firstly we successfully commissioned a new tailings re- treatment carbon-in-leach (‘CIL’) plant in March 2013, on time and on budget, to help process ﬁve years of tailings that are currently on site. The plant is performing well within expectation. Secondly, to capitalise on the substantial stockpile of high-grade woodchips (estimated to equate to seven years of current capacity), we recently installed a second rotary kiln in July 2013, again on budget and on time, to increase the available production capacity at GPL. The second rotary kiln has been performing well and will increase GPL’s ﬂexibility in processing various materials. With these two new capital projects completed, ensuring more cost effective operations are in place, I believe we are well placed to continue and further increase GPL’s proﬁtability during the course of FY 2014. In light of this a further important development is an agreement to purchase cyanide direct from local suppliers in liquid form rather than through intermediaries. While this will require capital expenditure to increase in our cyanide storage capability, it has the potential to reduce costs substantially. We also remain focussed on developing our high margin, ﬁne carbon processing service and as such we have successfully secured new supply contracts with major South African gold producers, which have signiﬁcantly expanded our operations and strengthened revenue streams. As a result of these contracts, we believe our ﬁne carbon processing section at GPL will continue to perform robustly during 2014. This constant investment in our recovery operations underpins our commitment to ensuring we maintain a competitive service offering and stronghold on gold recovery in the area. “We also remain focussed on developing our high margin, ﬁne carbon processing service and as such we have successfully secured new supply contracts with major South African gold producers” In addition to these advancements at our main plant in Benoni, Johannesburg, the Company approved the development of Central Rand Gold’s (‘CRG’) Crown East No 4 shaft earlier this year, to supply high-grade material to supplement the CIL plant at GPL. The operation has initially been designed to produce 200 tonnes per month of material grading approximately 15 g/t. This operation will be undertaken by a third party mining contractor and CRG will be paid a 5% net smelter return on all gold produced from the operation. To date, Goldplat has accessed the 3 Level area which has exposed the main reef resource initially targeted. Due to operational constraints, production levels have not yet been able to be optimised, however we are currently in the process of investigating a method to effectively remove the ore from lower levels and look forward providing an update on these developments in due course. In terms of GPL’s operational management, as part of continued succession planning, we appointed Hansie van Vreden, a qualiﬁed Metallurgist, as General Manager of GPL earlier this year and as from September 2013 he has been appointed as Managing Director of GPL and our GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 5 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) South African gold recovery processing plant Ghanaian gold recovery operations also. Prior to joining Goldplat, Hansie was the Production Metallurgist at AngloGold Ashanti’s Kopanang Gold Plant in South Africa and we believe his technical expertise and experience will be ideally suited to drive both the efﬁciency and proﬁtability of our gold recovery operations going forward. During the period our GRG gold recovery operation sustained some operational difﬁculties, which saw our Ghanaian revenues for FY 2013 lower than that of FY 2012. In light of this, a strategic review was conducted at GRG with the aim of increasing our second gold recovery plant’s operational efﬁciency and proﬁtability. To ensure that GPL is 100% Black Economic Empowerment compliant well in advance of the 1 May 2014 deadline, we signed a binding agreement with our partners Amabubesi Property Holdings (Pty) Ltd (‘Amabubesi’) to sell a further 11% of GPL to Amabubesi increasing its interest from 15% to 26% (‘the Transaction’). Amabubesi have been very supportive shareholders since their initial acquisition in 2008 and we look forward to continuing this relationship in the future. Interestingly, the Transaction, which valued GPL at approximately £19 million, gives a current see-through value for the 85% of GPL we owned of circa £16 million or a Goldplat share price of 10p. Again this highlights the fundamental value of our South African operation. GOLD RECOVERY GHANA LIMITED (‘GRG’) – GHANA GRG’s gold recovery operation, which enjoys a tax free status until 2016, is located in the free port of Tema in Ghana. Like our mature South African operation, GRG processes by-products from the primary mining process, but also processes artisanal tailings to capitalise on West Africa’s active artisanal mining presence. During the period GRG produced 18,868 ounces of gold, generating a gross proﬁt of £2,077,376. GRG has three proﬁt centres: a tolling agreement with Endeavour Resources where tailings purchased by GRG from artisanal and small scale miners are processed off- site, which accounts for approximately 56% of GRG’s revenues; a carbon in leach (‘CIL’) section at Tema, processing artisanal tailings on site, which accounts for 31% of revenue generation at GRG; and an incinerator section, which recovers high grade gold from ﬁne carbon and rubber mill liners procured from blue-chip mining clients such as Goldﬁeld Limited, AngloGold Ashanti Limited and Golden Star Resources Limited, and accounts for approximately 13% of revenues at GRG. “A strategic review was conducted at GRG with the aim of increasing our second gold recovery plant’s operational efﬁciency and proﬁtability” With regard to this, our toll treatment contract with Endeavour Resources, our largest proﬁt centre, has performed proﬁtably during the period. As noted, during the year there were margin pressures as a result of the increase in procurement costs of artisanal tailings in the area, itself exacerbated by unlawful trading by some competitors, and an increase in transport and tolling costs. However we introduced measures to mitigate these factors, by sourcing higher grade material closer to Endeavour’s Nzema plant to reduce the transport costs. The Government has also acted to curtail unlawful trading activities that have been sustained during the period. Our primary operational difﬁculties during the period were seen at our CIL section at Tema; margin pressures were sustained as a direct result of costs incurred from securing tailings from artisanal and small scale miners and again with the transportation of these. As a result of this we took the decision to stop the procurement of material and closed our CIL section at Tema to minimise further losses until longer term contracts and material that meets our margin criteria can be sourced on a sustainable basis. Subsequent to the year-end it has been decided to re-treat the stockpiled tailings on-site through the CIL circuit only, which to date has proved to be successful. We have also entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Small Miners Association in Ghana whereby they will assist in the procurement of legal sources of material at economic prices. We see this as a sustainable solution to the procurement of tailings. 6 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Rotary kiln The incinerator section at Tema, which comprises two ﬂuidised bed incinerators, a spiral section and a static furnace which treats by products from the primary gold mining industry, performed well during the period. As highlighted by the strategic review undertaken during 2013, it is our intention to continue to grow this section, which has many similarities to our South African gold recovery operation. high grade ﬁne carbon and mill liners from the major gold producers. Midas re-commissioned the Environmental Study for the site in Dano, which was completed at the end of August 2013, and the operating licence is expected to be in place by the end of 2013. The Midas operation will initially be designed to treat high grade material with additional circuits to be added over time when additional recovery material is sourced and secured. “The Company has engaged with and continues to have strong relations with the Kenyan Government” Furthermore, in order to increase the processing capacity of GRG and widen the range of the products that can be treated at the plant, we are planning to expand our gold recovery capabilities. An additional spiral circuit will be added to the ﬁne carbon section, which will improve the quality of the feed to the incinerator. Furthermore, a rotary kiln has been purchased for installation at GRG to process high-grade woodchips in due course. With these initiatives in place we remain conﬁdent of the growth potential of our second gold recovery operation and in turn generating important cashﬂow for the Company. BURKINA FASO: MIDAS GOLD SARL (‘MIDAS’) As previously highlighted, a longer-term aim for Goldplat is to expand our proﬁtable gold recovery operations to take advantage of the favourable gold production environment throughout Africa. With this in mind, we have been evaluating the potential of expanding our gold recovery reach to Burkina Faso in the near-term, where we believe signiﬁcant opportunity exists to roll-out our recovery model in West Africa. The development of the new gold recovery operation, called ‘Midas’, has been delayed for a number of reasons including changes in local environmental and gold export legislation and the shift in Midas’ previously planned focus from an artisanal tailings operation similar to that at GRG, to one focussing on the recovery from products such as MINING AND EXPLORATION As mentioned, a strategic review was undertaken during the year, which analysed Goldplat’s main value drivers, growth potential and centres of proﬁtability. As a result of this the Company has made a move away from investing in greenﬁelds exploration assets, in order to focus on our growing, cash generative, niche gold recovery business. As a result, although the Company announced a 25% increase in JORC compliant Mineral Resources from 742,392 oz Au to 931,071 oz Au across its Kenyan, Ghanaian and Burkina Faso gold mining and development portfolio during 2012/2013 (the mining and exploration portfolio within the Goldplat group), the Company took the decision to reassess the exploration portfolio in terms of strategic direction. Accordingly, we remain focussed on ascertaining the best way to crystallise value for shareholders from these assets, without this division being of primary importance. Our Kilimapesa gold project is located in the historically productive Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt in western Kenya. Kilimapesa has a mineral resource of 8,715,291 tonnes at 2.40 g/t Au for 671,446 oz Au at a cut-off of 1 g/t. During the period, Kilimapesa, which ﬁrst poured gold in January 2012, sustained operational difﬁculties due to a lack of processing capacity. Plans had been put in place to redesign the plant to ensure a 125 tonnes per day operation, targeting 5,000 ounces of gold per annum. A new adit, designed to access the reef at a lower level and permit lower cost mechanised mining, encountered unstable ground, and a decision was made to close it permanently for safety reasons. Due to continued operational difﬁculties at the mine as well as the current uncertain gold price environment, we took the prudent approach to eliminate further losses and placed GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 7 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) Mining by-products – mill liners Bob Pitts Smith, who has managed the recovery operations for many years, reduced his time commitment to half time from July 2013 and will be stepping down from the Board at the end of 2013 in accordance with his planned retirement. I would like to thank him for all he has done over the years and wish him all the best for the future. OUTLOOK As stated, the year under review has been a tough economic trading environment for all gold companies due to the reduction in gold price, however our market leading gold recovery operations in South Africa and Ghana continued to operate proﬁtably, allowing us to maintain our position as a dividend paying, debt free gold company. It is from these two gold recovery operations where I see substantial growth potential for the year ahead as we continue to implement programmes to increase gold recovery, and optimise operational efﬁciencies at both our South African and Ghanaian sites. We are also pleased to maintain a dividend paying policy, despite a difﬁcult trading year and I would like to emphasise that the Board will continue to work diligently to create value uplift and in turn enhance shareholder value for the year ahead and beyond. Finally, on behalf of the Directors I would like thank our management and employees for their hard work and our shareholders for their continued support and I look forward to updating you on our developments. B Moritz Chairman 6 November 2013 Kilimapesa on a care and maintenance programme until a time when the project economics can justify the reopening of the mine. In line with this, we retrenched a further 50 employees and are maintaining the mining operation on a skeleton staff. It should be noted that the processing plant continues to process stockpiles of ore at the plant to cover the costs of the care and maintenance programme. The Company has engaged with and continues to have strong relations with the Kenyan Government and are conﬁdent of a favourable outcome for all stakeholders regarding the future of Kilimapesa. In regards to our two greenﬁeld gold exploration projects, which include the 29 sq km Anumso Gold Exploration licence located in the Amansie East and Asante Akim South Districts of the Ashanti Region in Ghana, and the 246 sq km Nyieme project in the prospective Birimian Greenstone Belt in southern Burkina Faso, we are continuing to evaluate opportunities to realise value or monetise these projects either through joint ventures or trade sales. We will update the market on these developments in due course. CORPORATE In terms of Board composition, post period end Russell Lamming stepped down from his position as CEO and Ian Visagie has taken over as interim CEO whilst we look for a permanent, South African based CEO. A South African positioning will geographically complement our operations, as we look to build on our market leading gold recovery position in Africa. Ian Visagie, in his capacity as Financial Director since the Company’s admission to AIM in July 2006, has been instrumental in the growth of Goldplat and is well suited to lead the Company in the interim. Russell Lamming has entered into a six month Consulting Agreement to provide his services to the Company ensuring continuity and an orderly handover. Furthermore, we were delighted to welcome Nigel Wyatt to the Board in September 2013, and believe his expertise in the southern African mining arena as well as his experience as an AIM company director will be invaluable to Goldplat. 8 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE BOARD THE BOARD BRIAN MORITZ Chairman DR ROBERT PITTS SMITH Executive Director Brian is a Chartered Accountant and former Senior Partner of Grant Thornton, London.

The ﬁnancial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group of the Group’s proﬁt or loss for that year. In preparing these ﬁnancial statements, the Directors are required to: (cid:116)(cid:1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; DIRECTORS’ INDEMNITIES (cid:116)(cid:1) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable The Company maintains Directors’ and ofﬁcers’ liability insurance providing appropriate cover for any legal action brought against its Directors and/or ofﬁcers. GOING CONCERN The Directors adopt the going concern basis in preparing these ﬁnancial statements. This is further explained in note 2 to the ﬁnancial statements. CREDITORS PAYMENT POLICY The Company’s policy is to ensure that, in the absence of dispute, all suppliers are dealt with in accordance with its standard payment practice whereby all outstanding trade accounts are settled within the term agreed with the supplier at the time of supplying or otherwise 30 days from the month end of receipt of the relevant invoice. EMPLOYEES and prudent; (cid:116)(cid:1) state whether the ﬁnancial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; and (cid:116)(cid:1) prepare the ﬁnancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufﬁcient to show and explain the Group’s and Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the ﬁnancial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the ﬁnancial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

AUDITOR A resolution to re-appoint Chantrey Vellacott DFK LLP as auditors of the Group and Company will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

The ﬁnancial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and, as regards the parent company ﬁnancial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and the parent company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of signiﬁcant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the ﬁnancial statements. In addition, we read all the ﬁnancial and non-ﬁnancial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited ﬁnancial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In our opinion: (cid:116)(cid:1) the ﬁnancial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 30 June 2013 and of the group’s loss for the year then ended; (cid:116)(cid:1) the group ﬁnancial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; (cid:116)(cid:1) the parent company ﬁnancial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and (cid:116)(cid:1) the ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in ac- cordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 14 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 In our opinion: (cid:116)(cid:1) the information given in the directors’ report for the ﬁnancial year for which the ﬁnancial statements are prepared is consistent with the ﬁnancial statements.

REPORTING ENTITY Goldplat plc (the ‘Company’) is a company domiciled in England and Wales. The address of the Company’s registered ofﬁce is 55 Gower Street, London, WC1E 6HQ. The Group primarily operates as a producer of precious metals on the African continent. 2. GOING CONCERN The Company’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Chairman’s Statement. The ﬁnancial position of the Company, its cash ﬂows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in these ﬁnancial statements. The ﬁnancial statements include the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its ﬁnancial risk management objectives, details of its ﬁnancial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has sufﬁcient reserves of raw materials and ongoing contracts with its current suppliers. The Company has a secure market for its precious metal products which are sold at market related prices which are above production costs. The Directors believe that this performance will be sustainable for the ensuing year and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual ﬁnancial statements. 3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRSs’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and as adopted by the European Union. The Company’s individual proﬁt and loss account has been omitted from the Group’s annual ﬁnancial statements having taken advantage of the exemption not to disclose under Section 408(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Company’s comprehensive proﬁt for the year ended 30 June 2013 was £1,236,000 (2012: £1,687,000). The consolidated ﬁnancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 6 November 2013. (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. (c) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated ﬁnancial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (‘GBP’), which is considered by the Directors to be the most appropriate presentation currency to assist the users of the ﬁnancial statements. All ﬁnancial information presented in GBP has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated. The Company’s functional currencies are considered to be the US Dollar (“USD”) and South African Rand (“ZAR”) as these currencies mainly inﬂuence sales prices and expenses respectively. 24 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of the consolidated ﬁnancial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods of the revision if it affects both current and future periods. Critical estimates and assumptions that have the most signiﬁcant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements and/or have a signiﬁcant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next ﬁnancial year are as follows: (cid:116)(cid:1) Carrying value of goodwill – Notes 4(a)(i) and 15 (cid:116)(cid:1) Capitalisation of pre-production expenditure – Notes 4(e)(iii) and 15 (cid:116)(cid:1) Valuation of share options issued – Notes 4(i) and 26 Accounting entries are made in accordance with the accounting policies detailed below. 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated ﬁnancial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. (a) Basis of consolidation (i) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the ﬁnancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain beneﬁts from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: (cid:116)(cid:1) the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus (cid:116)(cid:1) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus (cid:116)(cid:1) if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less (cid:116)(cid:1) the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identiﬁable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 25 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of consolidation (continued) (i) Business combinations (continued) When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase price is recognised immediately in proﬁt or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts generally are recognised in proﬁt or loss. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classiﬁed as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in proﬁt or loss. When share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards) and relate to past services, then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based value of the replacement awards compared with the market-based value of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to past and/or future service. (ii) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The ﬁnancial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. (iii) Loss of control On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deﬁcit arising on the loss of control is recognised in proﬁt or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale ﬁnancial asset depending on the level of inﬂuence retained. (iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. (b) Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at an average rate for the year. All differences are charged to the statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income. 26 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (ii) Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and the fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to GBP at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, are translated to GBP at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the exchange reserve in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, signiﬁcant inﬂuence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassiﬁed to proﬁt or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such item are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the exchange reserve in equity. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rates. (c) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative ﬁnancial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other ﬁnancial assets are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a ﬁnancial asset when the contractual rights to the cash ﬂows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash ﬂows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the ﬁnancial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred ﬁnancial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of ﬁnancial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group’s non-derivative ﬁnancial assets comprise loans and receivables. GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 27 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Financial instruments (continued) (i) Non-derivative ﬁnancial assets (continued) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are ﬁnancial assets with ﬁxed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash held by the Group and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash ﬂows. (ii) Non-derivative ﬁnancial liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other ﬁnancial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through proﬁt or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a ﬁnancial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group classiﬁes non-derivative ﬁnancial liabilities into the other ﬁnancial liabilities category. Such ﬁnancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these ﬁnancial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other ﬁnancial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, ﬁnance lease obligations, and trade and other payables. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash ﬂows. (iii) Share capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classiﬁed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Repurchase and reissue of share capital (treasury shares) When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classiﬁed as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deﬁcit on the transaction is presented in share premium. 28 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of the mining asset includes the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in proﬁt or loss. (ii) Subsequent costs Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic beneﬁts associated with the expenditure will ﬂow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis in proﬁt or loss over the estimated useful lives of each component. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of signiﬁcant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows: (cid:116)(cid:1) leasehold land lease period (cid:116)(cid:1) buildings (cid:116)(cid:1) plant and equipment (cid:116)(cid:1) motor vehicles (cid:116)(cid:1) ofﬁce equipment (cid:116)(cid:1) insurance spares 20 years 10 years 5 years 6 years 10 years (cid:116)(cid:1) environmental assets life of mine (cid:116)(cid:1) pre-production expenditure 10 years from date of commencement of production Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.) GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 29 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (e) Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented with intangible assets. For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see note 4(a)(i). Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. (ii) Mining rights, exploration and development Mining rights, exploration and development includes rights in production, development and exploration phase properties. The amount capitalised represents fair value at the time acquired, plus enhancement expenditure at cost. Mining rights comprise production phase properties and are amortised over the estimated life of the mine. Impairment of mining rights in production phase properties is considered based on expected future cash ﬂows and estimates of recoverable minerals. Rights associated with development and exploration phase properties are not amortised until such time as the underlying property is converted to the production phase. Rights associated with exploration and development properties are individually evaluated for impairment based on exploration results. (iii) Pre-production expenditure Pre-production expenditure, including evaluation costs, incurred on mines to establish or expand productive capacity, or to support and maintain that productive capacity are capitalised. Capitalisation ceases when the mine is in a condition necessary to operate as intended by management. (iv) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic beneﬁts embodied in the speciﬁc asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in proﬁt or loss as incurred. (v) Amortisation Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in proﬁt or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Amortisation is included within administrative expenses in the statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income. 30 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (f) Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classiﬁed as ﬁnance leases. On initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s statement of ﬁnancial position. (g) Inventories Consumable stores and raw materials are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average basis and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Bullion on hand, gold and platinum represents production on hand after the smelting process, gold contained in the elution process, gold loaded carbon the in carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) and carbon-in-pulp (“CIP”) processes, gravity concentrates, platinum group metals (“PGM”) concentrates and any form of precious metal in process where the quantum of the contained metal can be accurately determined. It is valued at the average production cost for the year, including amortisation and depreciation. (h) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-ﬁnancial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Group statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income. Goodwill is assessed annually for possible impairment. Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not reversed. (i) Employee beneﬁts Share-based payment transactions Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non market-based vesting conditions. Fair value is measured by use of the Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercised restrictions and behavioural considerations. GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 31 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Provisions A provision is recognised in the statement of ﬁnancial position if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outﬂow of economic beneﬁts will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash ﬂows at a pre-tax rate that reﬂects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks speciﬁc to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as ﬁnance cost. Environmental obligation In accordance with the Group’s environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect of contaminated land is recognised when the land is contaminated. The estimated long-term environmental obligations, comprising rehabilitation and mine closure, are based on the Group’s environmental management plans in compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements. The amounts disclosed in the ﬁnancial statements as environmental assets and obligations include rehabilitation. The cost of rehabilitation projects undertaken, which has been included in the provision estimate, are charged to the provision as incurred. The cost of current programs to prevent and control future liabilities are charged to the Group statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. (k) Revenue Revenue from the sale of precious metals is recognised in the statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income when the signiﬁcant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer excluding sales taxes. (l) Finance income and ﬁnance costs Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable effective interest rate. Finance costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest receivable on funds invested and foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognised in the Group statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income. The ﬁnance expense component of ﬁnance lease payments is recognised in the Group statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income using the effective interest rate method. (m) Taxation Tax on the proﬁt or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Group statement of proﬁt or loss and other comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to item recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for ﬁnancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. (n) Segment reporting Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 32 GOLDPLAT Annual Report 2013 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED Standards, Amendments to published Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective Certain standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 or later periods, but which the Group has not early adopted.

OPERATING SEGMENTS For each segment, the Group’s CEO (the chief operating decision maker) reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segment. (cid:116)(cid:1) Recovery operations. Includes the recovery of precious metals from metallurgical challenging materials and the pro- cessing of ore, sourced from other mining operations. These products often represent an environmental challenge to the primary producer and are processed in a responsible manner by the company. (cid:116)(cid:1) Mining and exploration. Includes assets held for commercial exploitation of precious metals and exploration assets held where the commercial viability of the ore resource has not yet been evaluated or is in the process of evaluation. (cid:116)(cid:1) Administration. Includes activities conducted by holding companies in relation to the group and its subsidiaries. There are varying levels of integration between the three reportable segments. This integration includes the sale of precious metals from the Ghana recovery operation to the South African recovery operation, and the supply of goods and services by the South African subsidiary to all group operations. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment proﬁt before tax, as included in the internal management reports that are viewed by the Group’s CEO. Segment proﬁt is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

This reduction has not resulted in any change in control and hence Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Limited continues to be consolidated. This reduction has been accounted for in Goldplat’s consolidated ﬁnancial statements as an equity transaction.
