The marked-to-market value of gold hedges is done at a point in time and results in a non-hedge derivative
loss (or profit) that is in no way predictive of the future value of the hedge position or of the future impact on the revenue of the company. The marked-to-market loss of Ashanti's hedge book will be taken into account in determining the fair value of Ashanti's assets.
No adjustment has been made in the pro forma financial statements for the expected synergies or cost savings
to be generated in the combination with Ashanti.

NOTES:
1. It is assumed for the purposes of the above calculations that 41,165,300 AngloGold ordinary shares will be issued as
result of the combination with Ashanti on the basis that the 130,486,968 Ashanti ordinary shares currently in issue, together with 2,296,826 Ashanti warrants in issue as at 31 December 2003, are exchanged at the share exchange ratio of 0.29 AngloGold ordinary shares per Ashanti ordinary share or warrants and that 2,658,000 AngloGold ordinary shares will be issued to the Government of Ghana under the Stability Agreement between AngloGold and the Government of Ghana. All outstanding options over Ashanti ordinary shares are assumed to be cancelled for cash.
2. Net asset value per ordinary share is computed by dividing share capital and reserves by the number of ordinary shares in
issue. Net tangible asset value per ordinary share is computed by dividing share capital and reserves (excluding goodwill) by the number of ordinary shares in issue.
3. Basic earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing income/(loss) before cumulative effect of accounting
change by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue.
4. Before the combination with Ashanti diluted earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing income/(loss)
before cumulative effect of accounting change by the weighted average diluted number of ordinary shares. For AngloGold the effects of the Bonds are antidilutive and accordingly dilutive earnings per share is equal to the basic earnings per share.
5. The weighted average number of AngloGold ordinary shares in issue was 222,836,574 for the year ended December 31,
2003 and as a result of the issuance of 41,165,300, the weighted average number of AngloGold ordinary shares in issue after giving effect to the combination (see note 1) would have been 264,001,874.
6. The weighted average diluted number of AngloGold ordinary shares in issue was 223,717,575 for the year ended
December 31, 2003 and as a result of the issuance of 41,165,300 AngloGold ordinary shares in the combination (see note 1) with Ashanti and pursuant to the Stability Agreement and the issuance of 15,384,615 AngloGold ordinary shares in the Bonds issue, the weighted average diluted number would have been 280,267,490.
7. The number of AngloGold ordinary shares in issue as at December 31, 2003 was 223,136,342, and as a result of the
issuance of 41,165,300 AngloGold ordinary shares in the combination (see note 1), the number of AngloGold ordinary shares in issue after giving effect to the combination would have been 264,301,642 AngloGold ordinary shares.
8. The financial effects have been calculated based on the average market price of AngloGold ADSs on the New York Stock
Exchange of US$38 a share during the two days before and after October 15, 2003, the day on which the issue price was announced to be increased to 29 AngloGold ordinary shares for each 100 Ashanti ordinary shares in issue.
