> Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
>
> 1. Corporate information
>
> The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended
> 31 December 2013 (?interim results?) were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution
> of the directors on 19 February 2014.
>
> Aveng Limited is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of South
> Africa whose shares are publicly traded. The Group operates in the construction, engineering and
> mining environment and as a result the revenue is not seasonal in nature, but is influenced by
> the nature and execution of the contracts currently in progress. Refer to the commentary below
> for a more detailed report on the performance of the different operating segments within the Group.
>
> 2. Basis of preparation and accounting policy
>
> The interim results have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial
> assets which are measured at fair value.
>
> The accounting policies used in the preparation of these results are consistent in all material
> respects with those used in the Group's audited annual financial statements as at 30 June 2013.
> The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
> Statements and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. The accounting policies adopted are
> consistent with those of the previous year, except for the adoption of new and revised Standards
> and Interpretations that become effective during this reporting period. The external auditors have
> not reviewed the financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2013.
>
> The interim results do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual
> financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's audited annual financial
> statements as at 30 June 2013.
>
> The interim financial results have been prepared under the supervision of the acting Group
> Financial Director, Mr HJ Verster.
>
> The Group has adopted the following new and revised Standards and Interpretations (issued by the
> International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee) of the IASB that became effective on
> or after 1 July 2013.

>
> Contracting revenue
>
> The Group uses the percentage-of-completion, surveys of work performed and completion of a
> physical proportion of the contract work methods in accounting for its construction contracts. Use of these
> methods requires the Group to estimate the construction services and activities performed to date
> as a proportion of the total services and activities to be performed and apply judgment on the
> contract progress and outstanding risks.
>
>
> 3. Change in disclosure
>
> Background
>
> As part of the Group's financial reporting improvement initiatives, the structure, format and
> presentation of disclosures in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were reviewed.
> This resulted in the reallocation of certain comparative amounts as well as the introduction of
> certain changes in terminology.
>
> The initiative is an ongoing programme targeting the most appropriate disclosure and presentation
> practices, to best serve the interests of the Group's stakeholders.
>
> The resulting reallocations had no earnings or loss impact on the interim condensed consolidated
> financial statements, and as such the reallocations are not regarded as having had a quantitatively
> nor qualitatively material effect on the information presented.
>
> Reallocations affecting the 2012 comparatives:
>
> The reallocations for the 2012 comparative amounts are as follows:
>
> Interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position
> An amount of R77 million gross carrying amount and R67 million accumulated depreciation (net
> carrying amount R10 million), relating to computer software was reallocated from property, plant and
> equipment to intangible assets.
>
> Goodwill amounting to R1 400 million in 2012 was reallocated from ?Goodwill and other intangible
> assets? to a separately disclosed line item, ?Goodwill arising on consolidation?.
>
> Amounts due from contract customers of R9 258 million in 2012 was reallocated from ?Trade and
> other receivables? to a separately disclosed line item, ?Amounts due from contract customers?.
>
> An amount of R3 665 million in 2012 was reallocated from ?Trade and other payables? to a
> separately disclosed line item, ?Amounts due to contract customers?.
>
> The 31 December 2012 comparative information was not recorded to the same granular level as was
> recorded for the six months ended 31 December 2013 and for the year ended 30 June 2013, and therefore
> may not be in a manner consistent with management's current categorisation practice, which in turn is
> based upon judgemental interpretations on a contract-by-contract and case-by-case basis. The exclusion
> of the disclosure of this information, for the six months ended 31 December 2012 does not have a
> quantitatively nor qualitatively material effect on the Group"s interim results.
>
> Other provisions of R234 million in 2012 were reallocated from ?Accruals? (part of Trade and other
> payables) to the separately disclosed line item ?Provisions?. Furthermore, the ?Provisions? line
> item was reclassified to reflect the current and non-current portions of provisions raised.
>
> Interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings
>
> The Group now includes the disclosure of ?Cost of sales? and ?Gross earnings? on the interim
> condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive earnings. This disclosure was not previously included
> in the interim report and resulted in the disclosure of R22 852 million relating to cost of sales and
> R2 135 million relating to gross earnings.
>
> Depreciation of R602 million directly attributable to cost of sales was previously disclosed as
> part of the ?Depreciation? line item for 2012. This was reallocated to ?Cost of sales?.
>
> Depreciation of R60 million previously disclosed as part of the ?Depreciation? line item for 2012.
> This was reallocated to ?Operating expenses?.
>
> Amortisation of R24 million previously disclosed as part of the ?Amortisation? line item for 2012.
> This was reallocated to ?Operating expenses?.
>
>
> Notes to the interim condensed financial statements
>
> The disclosure in the segment report, note 4, has been extensively expanded, including the
> disclosure of total revenue (being internal and external revenue) per operating segment and the separate
> disclosure of the elimination of internal revenue, resulting in total external revenue for the Group.
> Refer to note 4.

>
> The Group has determined four reportable segments that are largely organised and managed
