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.

Standards
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (Amendment)
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Improvement)
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised)
IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (Revised)
IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures (Revised)
IAS 34 Interim Reporting (Improvement)

The adoption of these Standards and Interpretations did not have a material effect on the
Group's interim results and related disclosures.

In addition, the following Standards and Interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective.
Standard Subject Effective date
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 1 January 2015
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements: Amendments for investment entities 1 January 2014
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Amendments for investment entities 1 January 2014
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendment) 1 July 2014
IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements: Amendments for investment entities 1 January 2014
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment) 1 January 2014
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (Amendment) 1 January 2014
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Amendment) 1 January 2014

The Group does not intend to early adopt any of the above Standards and Interpretations.

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.
