NOTES TO THE REVIEWED CONDENSED GROUP INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE BACKGROUND
   Exxaro, a public company incorporated in South Africa, is a diversified resources group with interests 
   in the coal (controlled and non-controlled), TiO2 (non-controlled), ferrous (controlled and 
   non-controlled) and energy (non-controlled) markets. These reviewed condensed group interim financial 
   statements as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 (interim financial statements) comprise 
   the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) and the group's interest in 
   associates and joint ventures.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
    The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, IAS 34 Interim Financial 
    Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and 
    Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements 
    of the Companies Act of South Africa.

    The interim financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of Mr PA Koppeschaar CA(SA), 
    SAICA registration number: 00038621.

    The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the group annual financial statements 
    as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued 
    by the IASB. The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, excluding 
    financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value. This is the first set of 
    interim financial statements where IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 have been applied. Changes to significant accounting 
    policies are described in note 4.

    The interim financial statements of the Exxaro group were authorised for issue by the board of directors 
    on 14 August 2018.

2.2 Judgements and estimates
    Management made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies 
    and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these 
    estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and 
    the key source of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the group annual financial 
    statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for new significant judgements related 
    to the adoption of IFRS 9, which are described in note 4.2.4.

2.3 Re-presentation of comparative information
    The reviewed condensed group statement of comprehensive income for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 
    has been re-presented as a result of the investment in Tronox Limited being identified as a discontinued 
    operation (refer note 6).

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with 
   those followed in the preparation of the group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 
   31 December 2017, except for the estimation of income tax and the adoption of new or amended standards as 
   set out below.

3.1 Income tax
    Income tax expense is recognised based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual 
    tax rate expected for the full financial year. As such, the effective tax rate used in the interim financial 
    statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate for the group annual financial 
    statements. The estimated weighted average effective annual tax rate used for the six-month period ended 
    30 June 2018 is 20.1%, compared to 24% for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017. The decrease in the 
    effective tax rate is mainly due to the following:
    - Share of income or (loss) of equity-accounted investments and dividend income (-7%)
    - Prior year adjustments (-1%)
    
    Partly offset by:
    - Non-deductible expenditure (+0.5%).

3.2 New or amended standards adopted by the group
    A number of new or amended standards became effective for the current reporting period.

    The group has adopted the following new standards, which are relevant to the group, for the first time 
    for the six-month period commencing on 1 January 2018:
    - IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)
    - IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15).

    The adoption of these standards has resulted in the group changing its accounting policies. The impact of 
    the adoption and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 4.

3.3 Impact of new, amended or revised standards issued but not yet adopted by the group
    Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published but are not yet effective on 
    30 June 2018, and have not been early adopted. Of these standards, only IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16) is 
    anticipated to have an impact on the group as summarised below.

    IFRS 16
    The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The group made progress 
    on the initial assessment of the potential impact of this standard on the group's financial statements. This 
    initial assessment included the identification of material lease transactions within the group. The group 
    must still make a decision on the transition method to be applied as well as the practical expedients to be 
    used, if elected.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on the interim financial statements and 
   also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different 
   to those applied in prior periods.

4.1 Impact on the financial statements
    Prior year financial statements did not have to be restated as a result of the changes in the group's 
    accounting policies due to the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. As explained in note 4.2 below, IFRS 9 
    was adopted without restating comparative information. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising 
    from the new impairment rules are therefore not reflected in a restated statement of financial position 
    as at 31 December 2017, but are recognised in the opening statement of financial position on 1 January 2018. 
    As explained in note 4.3 below, IFRS 15 was also adopted without restating comparative information.
    
    The following table shows the reclassifications and adjustments recognised for each individual line item 
    as per the statement of financial position. The reclassifications and adjustments are explained in more 
    detail by standard below.

    1 Unearned finance income of R56 million was reclassified from financial liabilities - finance leases to lease 
      receivables as the finance lease was previously presented on a gross basis instead of a net basis.
    2 An amount of R51 million was reclassified from other receivables to cash and cash equivalents as the balances 
      meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents.

      the balance should have been presented as non-current due to it being payable after 12 months.

4.2 Impact of adopting IFRS 9
    IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) for annual periods 
    beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 9 brings together all aspects of accounting for financial 
    instruments that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement, derecognition, impairment 
    and hedge accounting.

    The adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to 
    the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in note 4.2.3 
    below. Comparative information has not been restated in accordance with the transitional requirements of 
    IFRS 9 which requires comparative information not to be restated (with an exception where it is possible 
    to restate without the use of hindsight) but for disclosures to be made concerning the reclassifications 
    and measurements as set out below.

    The total impact on the group's retained earnings as at 1 January 2018 is as follows:
                                                                                        Note            Rm

4.2.1 Classification and measurement
      IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of 
      financial liabilities. However, IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, 
      loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

      The accounting for the group's financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under IAS 39. 
      Similar to the requirements of IAS 39, IFRS 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be 
      treated as financial instruments measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit 
      or loss.
      Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
      - Amortised cost;
      - Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt investment;
      - FVOCI equity investment; or
      - Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

      The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which 
      a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in 
      contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, 
      the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

      On 1 January 2018 (the date of initial application of IFRS 9), the group's management assessed which 
      business model applied to the financial assets held by the group and classified its financial instruments 
      into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories. In addition, the group's management assessed whether contractual 
      cash flows on debt instruments solely comprised principal and interest based on the facts and circumstances 
      at the initial recognition of the assets. The main effects resulting from this reclassification are as 
      follows:

      1 Reserves which were impacted by IFRS 9.

      (a) Reclassify non-trading equities from available-for-sale to FVOCI
      
      The group elected to present in OCI changes in the fair value of the Chifeng equity investment 
      previously classified as available-for-sale, because the investment is not expected to be sold in 
      the short- to medium-term. As a result, an asset with a fair value of R152 million was reclassified 
      from available-for-sale financial assets to financial assets at FVOCI and fair value losses of 
      R74 million were reclassified from the available-for-sale revaluation reserve to the financial asset 
      FVOCI revaluation reserve on 1 January 2018.
  
      (b) Reclassify held-for-trading and designated FVPL financial assets to FVPL
      These reclassifications have no impact on the measurement categories.
        
      (c) Reclassify loans and receivables financial assets to amortised cost
      These reclassifications have no impact on the measurement categories.
      
      (d) Reclassify indemnification asset to non-financial instruments
      This asset previously formed part of the financial instruments. However, with the adoption of IFRS 9 
      it was concluded that this asset is not within the scope of IFRS 9. This asset arose on the acquisition 
      of ECC which is within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

      (e) Reclassify reimbursive non-current receivable asset to non-financial instruments
      This asset previously formed part of the financial instruments. However, with the adoption of IFRS 9 
      it was concluded that this is not within the scope of IFRS 9. This asset relates to the reimbursement 
      of the environmental rehabilitation provisions and the post-retirement medical obligations which is 
      within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

      (f) Reclassify loans and receivables at amortised cost to a financial asset measured at FVPL
      An other receivable with a gross amount of R70 million was reclassified to a financial asset at FVPL 
      as a result of the contractual cash flows not meeting the solely payments of principal and interest 
      (SPPI) criteria. In addition, the impairment allowance of R70 million was also reclassified. The fair 
      value of the financial asset was determined to be nil.
      
      (g) Reclassify held-for-trading and designated FVPL financial liabilities to FVPL
      These reclassifications have no impact on the measurement categories.
      
      (h) Reclassify financial liabilities to amortised cost
      These reclassifications have no impact on the measurement categories.

4.2.2 Impairment of financial assets
      IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with an "expected credit loss" (ECL) model. The new 
      impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost, contract assets and debt 
      investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses 
      (impairments) are recognised earlier than under IAS 39.

      Under IFRS 9, expected credit loss allowances are measured on either of the following basis:
      - 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after 
        the reporting date; and
      - lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life 
        of a financial instrument.
      
      The group has four types of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9's new ECL model, namely:
      - Trade receivables for sale of commodities and from the rendering of services;
      - Other receivables;
      - Loans to joint ventures and associates; and
      - Financial assets carried at amortised cost.

      The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for each of these classes of 
      assets. The impact of the change in impairment methodology on the group's retained earnings and equity 
      is disclosed in the first table of note 4.2 above.

      While loans to joint ventures and associates as well as cash and cash equivalents are subject to the 
      impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

      (a) Trade receivables
      
      The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECLs which uses a lifetime expected credit 
      loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the ECLs, trade receivables have been grouped based 
      on shared credit risk characteristics (corporate entities, small medium enterprises and public sector 
      entities) and the days past due. 
  
      The impairment allowances as at 1 January 2018 for trade receivables are as follows:
                                                 More than       More than       More than            
                                                   30 days         60 days         90 days            
                                   Current        past due        past due        past due        Total           
                                        Rm              Rm              Rm              Rm           Rm           
      Gross carrying amount          2 458              69               5              35        2 567    
      Impairment allowance               6              22               5              35           68    
     
      The impairment allowances for trade receivables as at 31 December 2017 reconcile to the opening expected 
      credit loss allowances for trade receivables on 1 January 2018 as follows:
      
      Impairment allowances                                                                          Rm    
      Closing balance at 31 December 2017 (IAS 39)                                                   61    
      Amounts restated through opening retained earnings                                              7    
      Opening balance at 1 January 2018 (IFRS 9)                                                     68    
      
      The expected credit loss allowances increased by a further R8 million to R76 million for trade receivables 
      during the six-month period ended 30 June 2018. The increase would have been R7 million lower under the 
      incurred loss model of IAS 39.
     
      Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that 
      there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage 
      in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater 
      than 120 days past due.

      (b) Other receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost
            
      The group's other receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost are considered to have low 
      credit risk, and the expected credit loss allowance recognised during the period was therefore limited 
      to 12 months expected losses. These instruments are considered to be low credit risk when they have a 
      low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations 
      in the near term. Applying the expected credit risk model resulted in the recognition of an expected 
      credit loss allowance of R8 million on 1 January 2018 (previous impairment allowance was R70 million 
      which was reclassified on 1 January 2018) with no further increase in the allowance during the six-month 
      period ended 30 June 2018.

4.2.3 Accounting policies applied from 1 January 2018
      (a) Financial assets  
      (i) Classification    
      From 1 January 2018, the group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
      - those measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss); and
      - those measured at amortised cost.
      
      The classification depends on the group's business model for managing the financial assets and the 
      contractual terms of the cash flows.
      
      For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. 
      For investments in equity instruments that are not held-for-trading, this will depend on whether the 
      group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity 
      investment at FVOCI.   
 
      The group reclassifies debt instruments when, and only when, its business model for managing those assets 
      changes.
  
     (ii) Measurement                                                          
      At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a 
      financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
      financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

      Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their 
      cash flows are SPPI.

      Debt instruments                                                          
      Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group's business model for managing the asset 
      and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. Currently there are two measurement categories into which 
      the group classifies its debt instruments, as the group does not hold any debt instruments classified as 
      FVOCI, as summarised in the table below.

      Equity instruments
      Equity investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Where the group's management has elected to 
      present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification 
      of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends 
      from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as income from financial assets when the 
      group's right to receive payments is established.

      Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in operating expenses in the statement 
      of comprehensive income as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity 
      investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

      (iii) Impairment
      From 1 January 2018, the group assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECLs associated with its debt 
      instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been 
      a significant increase in credit risk.

      ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of 
      all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the group in accordance with the contract 
      and the cash flows that the group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of 
      the financial asset.
      
      For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires lifetime 
      ECLs to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables are written off when 
      there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery 
      include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to 
      make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

      For other financial assets measured at amortised cost, the ECL is based on the 12-month expected credit loss 
      allowance. The 12-month expected credit loss allowance is the portion of lifetime expected credit loss 
      allowances that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after 
      the reporting date. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the 
      ECL will be based on the lifetime expected credit loss allowances.

      The group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 
      30 days past due.
      
     The group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, 
     in certain cases, the group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external 
     information indicates that the group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full 
     before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the group.

     (b) Loan commitments issued by the group
     Undrawn loan commitments are commitments under which, over the duration of the commitment, the group is 
     required to provide a loan with pre-specified terms to the counterparty. These contracts are in the scope 
     of the ECL requirements of IFRS 9.

     When estimating 12-month or lifetime ECLs for undrawn loan commitments, the group estimates the expected 
     portion of the loan commitment that will be drawn down over 12 months or its expected life respectively. The 
     ECL is then based on the present value of the expected shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down, 
     based on a probability weighting. The cash shortfalls include the realisation of any collateral. The expected 
     cash shortfalls are discounted at an approximation to the expected effective interest rate on the loan.

4.2.4 Significant estimates and judgements
      Impairment of financial assets
      
      The expected credit loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default 
      and expected loss rates. The group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs 
      to the impairment calculation, based on the group's past history, existing market conditions as well as 
      forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of the key assumptions and inputs 
      used are disclosed in note 4.2.2.

4.2.5 Transition
      Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, 
      except as described below.
      - The group has taken an exemption not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect 
        to classification and measurement (including impairment) requirements. Therefore, comparative periods 
        have not been restated. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities 
        resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognised in retained earnings and reserves as at 
        1 January 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not reflect the requirements of 
        IFRS 9 but rather those of IAS 39.
      - The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the 
        date of initial application:
        - The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held
        - The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial 
          liabilities as measured at FVPL
        - The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held-for-trading as at FVOCI
      - If an investment in a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, 
        then the group has assumed that the credit risk on the asset had not increased significantly since its 
        initial recognition.

4.3 Impact of adopting IFRS 15
    The revenue accounting policy has changed with effect from 1 January 2018 as a result of the group adopting 
    IFRS 15.

    IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 18, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations for annual periods 
    beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, 
    unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework 
    for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised, providing additional guidance in many 
    areas not covered in detail under the previous revenue standards and interpretations. The standard requires 
    entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when 
    applying the framework to the contracts with customers. The standard also specifies the accounting treatment 
    for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. 
    IFRS 15 further includes extensive new disclosure requirements.

    Refer note 4.3.3 for the group's revised revenue accounting policy and note 7 for the disaggregated revenue 
    disclosure required by IFRS 15.

    In accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 15, the group has adopted the standard applying the 
    cumulative effect method. In terms of this method the group:

    (a) applied the new rules retrospectively, only to contracts with customers that were not completed by 
        1 January 2018 (the date of initial application); and
    (b) has adjusted the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 January 2018, with the cumulative effect 
        of the retrospective application (per (a) above).
    
    Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2017 has not been restated, but presented as 
    previously reported applying the previous revenue standards and interpretations.

    The cumulative effect of the retrospective application on the group's retained earnings as at 
    1 January 2018 is as follows:
                                                                                       Note            Rm

        contract modification consideration assessment of R22 million, net of tax (refer note 4.3.2 (a)).
      2 Amounts without the adoption of IFRS 15.

4.3.2 Impact assessment of customer contract terms and conditions
      The standard terms and conditions in the group's contracts with customers result in the same revenue 
      recognition under IFRS 15, as compared to IAS 18, except for the following specific contractual 
      arrangements that had an impact on initial application:

      (a) Contract modification consideration
      A contract with a customer for the sale of goods has two distinct phases of delivery of the underlying 
      goods. The contract was modified to include additional consideration over a period of seven years 
      (referred to as the contract modification consideration).

      Under IAS 18, the contract modification consideration was determined as a standalone revenue arrangement 
      and would have been recognised as revenue over the seven year period. Under IFRS 15, the contract 
      modification consideration is assessed as a pricing adjustment that relates only to the goods delivered 
      under the first phase of the contract, which was concluded at the end of the 2017 financial year, and is 
      therefore required to be allocated to the goods delivered under this phase. Accordingly, the revenue 
      recognition of the contract modification consideration is recognised earlier under IFRS 15 than IAS 18. 
      This adjustment has been made on the cumulative effect basis, with the adoption of IFRS 15, to opening 
      retained earnings as at 1 January 2018.
   
      (b) Stock yard management services
      On certain contracts, the group was compensated in the form of a cost recovery for the rendering of stock 
      yard management services. 
  
      Under IAS 18, up to 31 December 2017, these cost recoveries were accounted for in operating expenses as a 
      cost recovery, as it was not seen as the main operation or revenue stream of the group. Under IFRS 15, 
      however, the rendering of these services is seen as a separate performance obligation and forms part of the 
      revenue of the group. Accordingly, the income from the rendering of stock yard management services is 
      presented as revenue separately from the corresponding cost. There is no impact on the profit or loss of 
      the group as the accounting is similar to a reclassification.

4.3.3 Accounting policies applied from 1 January 2018
      The group derives revenue from contracts with customers for the supply of goods (namely coal, ferrosilicon 
      and certain biological goods) and rendering of services (namely corporate management services, stock yard 
      management services and other mine management services).

      Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts 
      collected where the group acts as an agent. If the group is an agent, then revenue is recognised on a net 
      basis - corresponding to any fee or commission to which the group expects to be entitled.

      The group recognises revenue when it transfers control of the goods or services to a customer. The group 
      has applied the practical expedient in IFRS 15.63 (which states that an entity is not required to reflect 
      the time value of money in its estimate of the transaction price if it expects, at contract inception, 
      that the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services will not exceed 12 months). 
      Generally for contracts in the group, the period of time between delivery of goods or services and receipt 
      of payment ranges between two weeks and 60 days which is less than 12 months. Accordingly, the group does 
      not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. For 
      the group, the total consideration in the service contracts will be allocated to all services per the 
      contract based on their standalone selling prices. The standalone selling prices will be determined based 
      on the listed prices at which the group sells the services in separate transactions.

      Nature of goods and services
      Below is a summary of the different types of revenue derived by the group depicting the standard terms and 
      performance obligations for each type:

5. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
   Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
   chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of 
   the reportable operating segments. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the group 
   executive committee. Segments reported are based on the group's different commodities and operations.  
   
   Total operating segment revenue, which excludes VAT, represents revenue from contracts with customers for 
   the supply of goods and rendering of services and includes operating revenues directly and reasonably 
   allocable to the segments. Segment net operating profit or loss equals segment revenue less segment 
   expenses, impairment charges, plus impairment reversals. Segment operating expenses, assets and liabilities 
   represent direct or reasonably allocable operating expenses, assets and liabilities. 
   
   There were no differences in the way segment profit or loss is measured between the reportable segments' 
   profit or loss and the group's profit or loss. 
   
   The reportable operating segments, as described below, offer different goods and services, and are managed 
   separately based on commodity, location and support function grouping. The group executive committee
   reviews internal management reports on these divisions at least quarterly.
   
   Coal                                                                                                                                     
   The coal operations are mainly situated in the Waterberg and Mpumalanga regions and are split between coal 
   commercial operations and coal tied operations. Coal commercial operations include a 50% (30 June 2017: 50%; 
   31 December 2017: 50%) investment in Mafube (a joint venture with Anglo), as well as a 10.82% 
   (30 June 2017: 10.82%; 31 December 2017: 10.82%) effective equity interest in RBCT. The coal operations 
   produce thermal coal, metallurgical coal and SSCC. 
   
   Ferrous                                                                                                                                  
   The ferrous segment mainly comprises the 20.62% (30 June 2017: 20.62%; 31 December 2017: 20.62%) equity 
   interest in SIOC (located in the Northern Cape province) reported within the other ferrous operating 
   segment as well as the FerroAlloys operations (referred to as Alloys).  
   
   TiO2                                                                                                                                     
   This segment has been renamed TiO2 as the Alkali chemicals business was disposed of in 2017. Exxaro holds 
   a 23.36% (30 June 2017: 43.66%; 31 December 2017: 23.66%) equity interest in Tronox Limited subsequent to 
   the sale of 22 425 000 Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares on 10 October 2017. The investment in 
   Tronox Limited was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017 (refer note 16). 
   Exxaro holds a 26% (30 June 2017: 26%; 31 December 2017: 26%) equity interest in Tronox SA (both 
   South African-based operations), as well as a 26% (30 June 2017: 26%; 31 December 2017: 26%) member's 
   interest in Tronox UK.   
   
   Energy                                                                                                                                   
   The energy segment comprises a 50% (30 June 2017: 50%; 31 December 2017: 50%) investment in Cennergi 
   (a South African joint venture with Tata Power) which operates two windfarms.   
   
   Other                                                                                                                                    
   This reportable segment comprises the 26% (30 June 2017: 26%; 31 December 2017: 26%) equity interest in 
   Black Mountain (located in the Northern Cape province), an effective investment of 11.7% (30 June 2017: 11.7%; 
   31 December 2017: 11.7%) in Chifeng (located in the PRC), the recently acquired equity interests in Curapipe 
   and AgriProtein as well as the corporate office which renders services to operations and other customers. 
   The Ferroland agricultural operation is also included in this segment.

    who will be on the register on 21 September 2018. This interim dividend, amounting to approximately R1 330 million 
    (to external shareholders), has not been recognised as a liability in these interim financial statements. It will 
    be recognised in shareholders' equity in the year ended 31 December 2018.

    1 The investment in Tronox Limited was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017

    2 On 31 May 2018, Exxaro entered into a share purchase agreement to obtain an equity interest in the shareholding 
      of AgriProtein, which is incorporated in the UK. The purchase price amounted to US$52.5 million, comprising an 
      initial cash consideration of US$14.5 million (R184.2 million) paid on 1 June 2018 and deferred consideration 
      amounting to US$38 million (R482.8 million) which will be paid over the next two years. The timing of the 
      deferred consideration is dependent on AgriProtein's capital expenditure requirements. Transaction costs paid 
      of R6.6 million were capitalised to the cost of the investment. AgriProtein is in the business of developing 
      operating municipal organic waste conversion plants in order to generate high-quality, natural protein which 
      is sold for use in animal, aquaculture and pet feed. Exxaro is currently in process of conducting a notional 
      purchase price allocation on the acquisition of the investment in AgriProtein.

16. NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE
    Tronox Limited
    In September 2017, the directors of Exxaro formally decided to dispose of the investment in Tronox Limited. 
    As part of this decision, Tronox Limited was required to publish an automatic shelf registration statement 
    of securities of well-known seasoned issuers which allowed for the conversion of Exxaro's Class B Tronox 
    Limited ordinary shares to Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares. From this point, it was concluded that 
    the Tronox Limited investment should be classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale as all the 
    requirements in terms of IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations (IFRS 5) 
    were met. As of 30 September 2017, the Tronox Limited investment, totalling 42.66% of Tronox Limited's 
    total outstanding voting shares, was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale and the application 
    of the equity method ceased. 
    
    Subsequent to the classification as a non-current asset held-for-sale, Exxaro completed an initial offering 
    of 22 425 000 Class A Tronox Limited ordinary shares during October 2017. On 24 May 2018, Exxaro obtained 
    shareholder approval to sell the remainder of its shares in Tronox Limited. Exxaro will continue to assess 
    market conditions for further possible sell downs of the remaining 28 729 280 Class A Tronox Limited 
    ordinary shares.
    
    The Tronox Limited investment is presented within the total assets of the TiO2 reportable operating segment 
    and presented as a discontinued operation (refer note 6). 
    
    Manyeka                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
    Exxaro concluded a sale of share agreement with Universal, for the 100% shareholding in Manyeka, which 
    includes a 51% interest in Eloff. Manyeka was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 
    30 September 2017. On 30 June 2018, conditions precedent to the sale of share agreement with Universal 
    had not been met. Manyeka did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation since it 
    did not represent a separate major line of business, nor did it represent a major geographical area of 
    operation and is reported as part of the coal commercial operating segment. Subsequent to 30 June 2018, 
    the sale became effective (refer note 25).
    
    NBC                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
    During 2017, Exxaro took the decision to divest from the NBC operation and the divestment process 
    commenced during August 2017. On 31 December 2017, the NBC operation met the criteria to be classified as 
    a non-current asset held-for-sale in terms of IFRS 5. The NBC operation did not meet the criteria to be 
    classified as a discontinued operation since it did not represent a separate major line of business, nor 
    did it represent a major geographical area of operation and is reported as part of the coal commercial 
    operating segment. 
    
    On 2 March 2018, Exxaro concluded a sale of asset agreement for the disposal of the NBC operation. 
    On 30 June 2018, conditions precedent to the sale of asset agreement had not been met. Subsequent to 
    30 June 2018, the sale became effective (refer note 25).  
    
    EMJV                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
    As part of the ECC acquisition in 2015, Exxaro acquired non-current liabilities held-for-sale relating 
    to the EMJV. The sale of the EMJV is conditional on section 11 approval required in terms of the MPRDA 
    for transfer of the new-order mining right to the new owners, Scinta Energy Proprietary Limited, as well 
    as section 43(2) approval for the transfer of environmental liabilities and responsibilities. The EMJV 
    remains a non-current liability held-for-sale for the Exxaro group on 30 June 2018, as the required 
    approvals are still pending. The EMJV does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued 
    operation since it does not represent a separate major line of business, nor does it represent a major 
    geographical area of operation.

    The bank overdraft is repayable on demand and interest payable is based on current South African money

    There were no defaults or breaches in terms of interest-bearing borrowings during the reporting periods.

    Loan facility
    The loan facility comprises a:
    - R3 250 million bullet term loan facility with a term of five years (term loans)
    - R2 000 million amortised term loan facility with a term of seven years (term loans) and
    - R2 750 million revolving credit facility with a term of five years (revolving facility).

    Interest is based on JIBAR plus a margin of 3.25% (30 June 2017: 3.25%; 31 December 2017: 3.25%) for the 
    bullet term loan facility (R3 250 million), JIBAR plus a margin of 3.60% (30 June 2017: 3.60%; 
    31 December 2017: 3.60%) for the amortised term loan facility (R2 000 million) and JIBAR plus a margin of 
    3.25% (30 June 2017: 3.25%; 31 December 2017: 3.25%) for the revolving credit facility (R2 750 million). 
    The effective interest rate for the transaction costs on the term loans is 0.17% and 1.17% respectively 
    (30 June 2017: 0.17% and 1.17%; 31 December 2017: 0.17% and 1.17%). Interest is paid on a quarterly basis 
    for the term loans, and on a monthly basis for the revolving credit facility.   
    
    The undrawn portion relating to the term loan facilities amounts to R1 750 million (30 June 2017: 
    R1 750 million; 31 December 2017: R1 750 million). The undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility 
    amounts to R2 750 million (30 June 2017: R1 250 million; 31 December 2017: R2 750 million).   
    
    Bond issue
    In terms of Exxaro's R5 000 million DMTN programme, a senior unsecured floating rate note (bond) of 
    R1 000 million was issued in May 2014. The outstanding bond comprises a R520 million senior unsecured 
    floating rate note due 19 May 2019.      
    
    Interest on the R520 million bond is based on JIBAR plus a margin of 1.95% (30 June 2017: 1.95%; 
    31 December 2017: 1.95%) and paid on a quarterly basis. The effective interest rate for the transaction 
    costs for the R520 million bond was 0.08% (30 June 2017: 0.08%; 31 December 2017: 0.08%). 
    
    Preference share liability
    The preference share liability relates to the consolidation of NewBEECo. The preference share liability 
    represents 249 069 Class A variable rate cumulative redeemable preference shares issued on 11 December 2017 
    by NewBEECo at an issue price of R10 000 per share. The preference shares are redeemable five years after 
    the subscription date or earlier as agreed between the parties at R10 000 per share plus the cumulative 
    preference dividends. The preference shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend equal to the issue 
    price multiplied by the dividend rate of 80% of Prime Rate calculated on a daily basis based on a 
    365-day year compounded per period and capitalised per period. 
    
    Subscription undertakings for the full value of the preference shares were secured at a total cost of 
    R23.8 million. The preference share liability is measured at amortised cost and the transaction costs 
    have therefore been included on initial measurement. The amount is amortised over the five-year period.
     
    Finance leases
    Included in the interest-bearing borrowings are obligations relating to finance leases for mining 
    equipment.

20.1 Fair value hierarchy
     The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. 
     These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on 
     the inputs to the valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:      
     Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the group 
               can access at the measurement date.
     Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 
               liability, either directly or indirectly.
     Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset and liability.

     1 Before 1 January 2018, the Chifeng equity investment was classified as available-for-sale in accordance 
       with IAS 39. From 1 January 2018, the Chifeng equity investment is classified at FVOCI in accordance 
       with IFRS 9.
     2 Tax on Chifeng amounts to R12 million (30 June 2017: nil; 31 December 2017: R12 million).

     Transfers
     The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting 
     period during which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 nor 
     between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the periods ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2017 
     and 31 December 2017, except for the environmental rehabilitation funds which were transferred from Level 1 
     to Level 2 as a result of not applying the look-through principle.

     Valuation process applied by the group
     The fair value computations of the investments are performed by the group's corporate finance department, 
     reporting to the finance director, on a six-monthly basis. The valuation reports are discussed with the 
     chief operating decision maker and the audit committee in accordance with the group's reporting governance.

     Current derivative financial instruments
     Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on market 
     quotes. These quotes are assessed for reasonability by discounting estimated future cash flows using the 
     market rate for similar instruments at measurement date.

     Environmental rehabilitation funds
     Level 2 fair values for debt instruments held in the environmental rehabilitation funds are based on 
     quotes provided by the financial institutions at which the funds are invested at measurement date.
 
20.2 Valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values within Level 3 of the hierarchy, as well 
     as significant inputs used in the valuation models
     Chifeng
     Chifeng is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no quoted market price or 
     observable price available for this investment. This unlisted investment is valued as the present value 
     of the estimated future cash flows, using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation technique is 
     consistent to that used in previous reporting periods.    
 
     The significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the investment 
     in Chifeng are rand/RMB exchange rate, RMB/US$ exchange rate, zinc LME price, production volumes, operational 
     costs and the discount rate.

     Contingent consideration
     The potential undiscounted amount of all deferred future payments that the group could be required to 
     make under the ECC acquisition is between nil and US$120 million. The amount of future payments is 
     dependent on the API4 coal price.   
     
     At 30 June 2018, there was an increase of US$13.7 million (R188.09 million) (30 June 2017: US$2.9 million 
     (R37 million); 31 December 2017: US$28.5 million (R354 million)) recognised in profit or loss for the 
     contingent consideration arrangement.

     The amount to be paid in each of the five years is determined as follows (refer to the table above):
     -  If the average API4 price in the reference year is below the minimum API4 price of the agreed range, 
        then no payment will be made;
     -  If the average API4 price falls within the range, then the amount to be paid is determined based 
        on a formula contained in the agreement; and
     -  If the average API4 price is above the maximum API4 price of the range, then Exxaro is liable for 
        the full amount due for that reference year. 

     An additional payment to Total SA amounting to R299 million was required for the 2017 reference year 
     and R74 million was required for the 2016 reference year as the API4 price was within the agreed range. 
     No additional payment to Total SA was required for the 2015 reference year as the API4 price was below 
     the range. 
     
     The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no 
     quoted market price or observable price available for this financial instrument. This financial 
     instrument is valued as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, using a discounted 
     cash flow model.   
     
     The significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of this financial 
     instrument are rand/US$ exchange rate, API4 export price and the discount rate.

     income tax audit for the years of assessment 2009 to 2013.
     
     According to the letter, SARS proposed that certain international Exxaro companies would be subject to 
     South African income tax under section 9D of the Income Tax Act.
     
     Assessments to the amount of R442 million (R199 million tax payable, R91 million interest and R152 million 
     penalties) were issued on 30 March 2016 and Exxaro formally objected against these assessments. These 
     assessments were subsequently reduced by SARS to R246 million (including interest and penalties). A resolution 
     hearing with SARS was held on 18 July 2017 but the parties could not settle the matter. Notice was given to 
     refer the matter to the Tax Court and a court date of 4 March 2019 was allocated to Exxaro.      
     
     These assessments have been considered in consultation with external tax and legal advisers and senior 
     counsel. Exxaro believes this matter has been treated appropriately by disclosing a contingent liability for 
     the amount under dispute.

22.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The group entered into various sale and purchase transactions with associates and joint ventures during the 
     ordinary course of business. These transactions were subject to terms that are no less, nor more favourable 
     than those arranged with independent third parties.

23.  GOING CONCERN
     Based on the latest results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018, the latest board approved budget 
     for 2018, as well as the available bank facilities and cash generating capability, Exxaro satisfies the 
     criteria of a going concern.

24.  JSE LISTINGS REQUIREMENTS
     The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 
     Listings Requirements of the JSE.

25.  EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

26.  REVIEW CONCLUSION
     These reviewed condensed group interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018, 
     as set out above, have been reviewed by the group's external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., 
     who expressed an unmodified review conclusion. A copy of the auditor's review report on the condensed group 
     interim financial statements is available for inspection at Exxaro's registered office together, with the 
     financial statements identified in the external auditor's report.

27.  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
     Corporate governance forms one of the foundational layers of the Exxaro strategy as we understand that 
     transparency, integrity and accountability need to permeate everything that we do. The board of directors 
     endorse the principles contained in King IVTM. A thorough gap analysis was conducted in 2017, to understand 
     where additional effort is required to implement the recommended practices that support the King IVTM principles. 
     Exxaro will disclose actions taken toward compliance in the integrated report for the year ending 31 December 2018. 
     We have also mandated EY to conduct an independent review of our application of King IVTM to ensure that we are 
     able to thoroughly apply and explain our application of the principles in the next integrated report. Exxaro's 
     application of these principles are set out in the supplementary information, as well as in the 2017 
     integrated report and has been, in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, available on the company's 
     website since April 2018. Please contact Mrs SE van Loggerenberg, group company secretary and legal, for any 
     additional information.

COMMENTARY
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018  
Comments below are based on a comparison between the six-month periods ended 30 June 2018 and 2017 
(1H18 and 1H17) respectively. 

1. SAFETY
   Exxaro recorded a year-to-date LTIFR of 0.10, an improvement compared to the 0.12 reported in FY17 and 
   reported zero fatalities during 1H18. Exxaro remains committed to the Zero Harm Vision and relentless 
   efforts to reduce incidents through the Safety Improvement Plans continue.
   
2. ROBUST FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
   The group's net operating profit for 1H18 increased by 7% to R3 126 million compared to 1H17. This was 
   mainly driven by a 12% increase in the net operating profit of the coal segment to R3 387 million 
   (1H17: R3 014 million), partly offset by a higher net operating loss of R268 million (1H17: R29 million) 
   of the other segment, which includes a R188 million fair value adjustment on the contingent consideration 
   relating to the acquisition of ECC. The income from equity-accounted investments decreased to R1 046 million 
   (1H17: R1 125 million), primarily due to lower equity-accounted income from SIOC due to rail challenges 
   experienced coupled with a stronger rand and lower iron ore export prices. However, this was offset by a 
   positive impact of ceasing equity accounting of the Tronox Limited investment due to the investment being 
   classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017 (1H17 included an equity-accounted 
   loss of R363 million).

5. FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS
5.1. Group financial results
5.1.1. Revenue and net operating profit
       Consolidated group revenue increased by 14% to R12 260 million (1H17: R10 736 million), mainly due 
       to a higher contribution from the coal operations driven by improved coal sales prices and higher 
       Eskom commercial volumes at Grootegeluk based on demand from the Medupi Power Station. The average 
       price per tonne achieved on exports was US$79 (1H17: US$65) which was offset by a stronger average 
       spot exchange rate of R12.30 to the US dollar recorded for the period ended 30 June 2018 
       (1H17: R13.20).
       
       Consolidated group net operating profit increased by 7% to R3 126 million (1H17: R2 910 million), 
       which is discussed further under the relevant segments.     

5.1.2. Earnings
       Earnings, which include Exxaro's share of income or loss of equity-accounted investments in 
       associates and joint ventures, were R3 182 million (1H17: R2 692 million) or 1 268 cents per share 
       (1H17: 852 cents per share).
       
       Headline earnings were 10% higher at R3 067 million (1H17: R2 787 million) or 1 222 cents per share 
       (1H17: 882 cents per share).

5.1.3. Cash flow and funding
       Cash flow generated by operations increased by R281 million to R3 941 million (1H17: R3 660 million) 
       and was sufficient to cover operating activities and capital expenditure, as shown in table 5 below.

       Total capital expenditure for 1H18 increased by R723 million when compared to the corresponding period 
       last year, consisting of a R72 million increase in expenditure on sustaining and environmental capital 
       (stay-in-business capital) and R651 million on new capacity (expansion capital).    
       
       A gross special dividend of R4 502 million (R3 149 million paid to external shareholders) was paid to 
       shareholders on 5 March 2018 following the partial disposal of Exxaro's shareholding in Tronox Limited 
       during October 2017.                                      
       
       A dividend of R1 306 million was received from our investment in SIOC (1H17: nil). SIOC has declared a 
       dividend to its shareholders in July 2018, amounting to R1 263 million for Exxaro's 20.62% shareholding. 
       The dividend will be accounted for in 2H18.            

5.1.4. Debt exposure
       Net debt at 30 June 2018 was R2 514 million compared to net debt of R4 353 million at 30 June 2017. 
       This equates to a net debt to equity ratio of 6.5% (1H17: 12.0%), well below our internal limit of 40%.

     Domestic trading conditions were favourable in 1H18 as producers experienced strong demand for 
     higher-quality product. The metals and reductants markets remained stable amid stable international 
     commodity prices.
     
     The first half of 2018 saw relatively subdued export demand as a result of high international prices. 
     The API4 index remained above US$100 per tonne. This resulted in India, our natural market, sourcing 
     its coal from Russia, United States and Australia.                    

5.2.1. Production and sales volumes
       Overall coal production volumes (excluding buy-ins and semi-coke) increased by 7% or 1 505kt. This 
       increase can essentially be attributed to the higher production volumes at Grootegeluk (GG) due to 
       continued ramp up at GG7 and GG8 plants to supply the Medupi Power Station. Sales were also 
       6% higher (1 232kt).

5.2.1.1. Metallurgical coal
         Grootegeluk's metallurgical coal production was 110kt (10%) higher, mainly due to better yields at 
         GG1 as a result of better geological conditions compared to 2017. Sales increased by 18kt (3%) 
         mainly due to higher demand. 
         
5.2.1.2. Thermal coal
         Tied mines
         Power station coal production from Matla mine was in line with 1H17, despite equipment breakdowns 
         and unfavourable geological conditions.
         
         Commercial mines
         Power station coal production from the commercial mines was 2 122kt higher mainly due to:
         - Increased production at the Grootegeluk plants (GG7 and GG8) of 2 329kt
         - Increased production at Leeuwpan of 155kt as a result of higher plant availability.
         
         This increase was partly offset by:
         - Lower production at NBC of 362kt due to community actions as well as discontinuing production 
           at Eerstelingsfontein due to the pending divestment to Universal.

         Domestic power station coal sales from the commercial mines were 913kt higher than 1H17 mainly 
         as a result of an increase of 1 508kt at Grootegeluk due to higher demand from Medupi Power 
         Station. This was partly offset by lower NBC sales of 595kt due to community actions preventing 
         Eskom from collecting coal.
         
         Steam coal production decreased by 723kt mainly as a result of:
         - Lower buy-ins from Mafube JV of 616kt due to the ramping down of Springboklaagte and the 
           ramping up of Nooitgedacht reserve.               
         
         Domestic steam sales decreased by 225kt mainly as a result of:
         - Lower sales at Leeuwpan of 407kt due to coal being diverted to the export market
         - Lower sales at Grootegeluk of 67kt due to lower product availability
         - Lower sales at ECC of 44kt.

         The negative variance was partly offset by:
         - Higher sales at NBC 293kt due to alternative markets found for the lower Eskom off-take.
         
         The Semi-Coke production was 23kt (50%) lower due to a fire incident in March 2018 at 
         Grootegeluk's reductant plant. Sales were 14kt (30%) lower and in line with the lower 
         production and stock availability.

5.2.2. Revenue and net operating profit
       Coal revenue of R12 240 million was 15% higher than 1H17 (R10 670 million). Higher revenue 
       from the commercial mines was mainly attributable to the higher selling prices as well as 
       an increase in Eskom volumes.
       
       Net operating profit of R3 387 million (1H17: R3 014 million) at an operating margin of 28% 
       represents an increase of 12%, mainly due to:    
       - Higher sales prices (+R1 195 million)
       - Volume variances (+R605 million)
       - Lower distribution cost (+R257 million).
       
       Partly offset by:
       - Higher cost of buy-ins (-R396 million)
       - Inflation (-R392 million)
       - Exchange rate variance on sales due to a stronger rand against the US dollar (-R311 million)
       - Net scope changes of environmental rehabilitation provisions (-R134 million)
       - Royalties (-R71 million).

5.2.3. Equity-accounted investment
       Exxaro recorded an equity-accounted loss of R30 million for 1H18 (1H17: profit of R118 million) 
       from Mafube, a 50% joint venture with Anglo, mainly due to the ramping down of Springboklaagte  
       reserve and ramping up of the Nooitgedacht reserve.

5.3. Ferrous business
     Equity-accounted investment
     The decrease in equity-accounted income from SIOC of R435 million to R793 million in 1H18 is 
     primarily due to rail challenges experienced coupled with a stronger rand exchange rate and lower 
     iron ore export prices.

5.4. Titanium dioxide
     Equity-accounted investment
     Equity-accounted income from Tronox SA and Tronox UK increased by R156 million to R224 million 
     compared to 1H17. This is mainly due to an improved operating performance as well as foreign currency 
     exchange gains.
     
     The Tronox Limited investment was classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 September 2017, 
     upon which date equity accounting ceased. An equity-accounted loss of R363 million was included in 1H17 
     for Tronox Limited.
     
     Exxaro obtained shareholder approval to sell the remainder of its shares in Tronox Limited and is 
     exploring alternatives for the monetisation thereof, through an efficient and staged sales process. 
     We are continuing to monitor developments with Tronox Limited, such as the proposed acquisition of 
     Cristal, and its approval by the US and European authorities.    

5.5. Energy business
     Equity-accounted investment
     Exarro recorded an equity-accounted income of R20 million for 1H18 (1H17: loss of R11 million) 
     from Cennergi, a 50% joint venture with Tata Power. The two windfarm projects are running at slightly 
     lower than planned capacity due to lower than expected wind speeds, which was offset by 
     better than contracted equipment availability.
     
     The results were also positively influenced by a change in the useful life (from 20 years to 30 years) 
     of the property, plant and equipment at the two windfarms which reduced the depreciation charge.

6. PERFORMANCE AGAINST NEW B-BBEE CODES AND MINING CHARTER
   We are pleased with the improvement in our recognition level, from Level Six to Level Five, in terms 
   of the scorecard of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Codes of Good Practice. This improvement 
   is attributable to our initial efforts during 2017 in the Enterprise and Supplier Development 
   category; however, much work remains to achieve our goal of reaching Level Three by 2019. We are 
   confident that, with the plans we have in place, together with our intent to diversify our supply chain, 
   enhance local economic development in the various communities of our operations and innovatively grow 
   our business of tomorrow, we will achieve this goal.
   
   We further note the publication by the DMR of a draft Mining Charter and the invitation for comment 
   by stakeholders. Exxaro has commented on the draft document and is also participating, through the 
   Minerals Council South Africa, regarding key issues that need to be considered to achieve 
   competitiveness, growth and transformation.

7. THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT SERVICES (YES) INITIATIVE
   The YES initiative was pronounced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on 27 March 2018. YES is a partnership 
   between government, business, labour and civil society and aims to see more than one million young 
   South Africans, between the ages of 18 and 35, being offered paid work experience over the next 
   three years. We are committed to this initiative and currently awaiting further clarification and 
   guidelines for participation from the DTI. We will be partnering with service providers to implement 
   and enable the programme of both skills and work experience for the youth.

8. BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
   As referred to in the announcement released on the SENS of the JSE Limited on 20 November 2017 
   relating to the results of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders with respect to the 
   implementation of the Replacement BEE Transaction, Exxaro provided certain undertakings:   

8.1. Implementation of Employee and Community Empowerment Schemes
     In order to ensure that the profile of NewBEECo is enhanced to be more broad-based, and include 
     new empowerment beneficiaries, Exxaro undertook to finalise appropriate employee and community 
     empowerment structures by transferring no less than 10% of its equity holding in NewBEECo by 
     30 June 2018.
     
     Exxaro has made meaningful progress with respect to the conceptualisation of relevant employee 
     and community empowerment structures in line with the abovementioned undertaking. In light of the 
     recent developments regarding the revised Mining Charter, the board of directors of Exxaro has 
     resolved that the implementation of the relevant employee and community empowerment structures be 
     delayed to ensure regulatory compliance is achieved and that sustainable ownership structures are 
     optimised in this regard.
     
     Exxaro remains fully committed in meeting the undertaking given in a manner which meets the 
     objectives of all stakeholders.

8.2. Other undertakings
     Exxaro is in discussions with stakeholders in respect of the undertakings relating to the 
     restructuring of the BEE shareholding and the potential listing of NewBEECo on a BEE exchange.

9. MINERAL RESOURCES AND mineral RESERVES
   Other than the normal LOM depletion, there have been no material changes to the Mineral Resources 
   and Mineral Reserves as disclosed in the 2017 integrated report.

10. MINING AND PROSPECTING RIGHTS
    Exxaro has continued with the successful submissions of amendments to existing rights to protect 
    Exxaro's interests and ensure greater LOM.  
    
    In addition to the above, Exxaro has made slow progress with the mining right registrations of 
    Matla, Arnot and Glisa (at the NBC operation). While there are still challenges pertaining to 
    these registrations, Exxaro still expects the registrations to be concluded during 3Q18.      

11. CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEES
    The following non-executive directors have been appointed on 23 May 2018:
    - Ms GJ Fraser-Moleketi
    - Mr MJ Moffett
    - Mr LI Mophatlane.
    
    Mr J van Rooyen, who joined the board of directors in August 2008, was appointed as lead independent 
    director on 26 March 2018. Mr van Rooyen resigned as lead independent director and as chairman of the 
    audit committee when he was appointed as chairman of the board of directors on 15 June 2018.  
    
    Ms GJ Fraser-Moleketi was appointed as lead independent director on 15 June 2018.
    
    The following independent non-executive directors have been appointed as chairmen of Exxaro's 
    board committees on 15 June 2018:              
    - Mr V Nkonyeni, has been appointed to chair the audit committee

      committee of the board)                          
    - Mr EJ Myburgh, has been appointed to chair the remuneration committee
    - Ms A Sing, has been appointed to chair the social and ethics committee
    - Mr PCCH Snyders, has been appointed to chair the sustainability, risk and compliance committee
    - Mr J van Rooyen, has been appointed to chair the nomination committee.

12. OUTLOOK
    We expect that the domestic market demand for sized product will remain strong as supply remains 
    tight. We are confident that all products will be placed successfully into the market during 2H18.
    
    Export markets are still reliant on demand from India for lower-quality coal. However, Exxaro is 
    actively diversifying its markets for lower quality coal to minimise dependency on the Indian 
    market. Growth is expected from the South-East Asian markets.
    
    Exxaro expects a stable outlook for the coal business in 2H18 based on:
    - Favourable trading conditions in domestic markets
    - Strong international coal prices
    - Our business optimisation strategy driving operational and innovation excellence throughout 
      the business with a strong focus on eliminating systemic waste.
    - Good progress being made on building key technology enabling infrastructure and the 
      visualisation of business constraints, aimed at accelerating our innovation and technology 
      implementation strategy.
    
    During 2H18, the performance of our SIOC investment will be supported by a relatively stable 
    iron ore fines price and lump premium, and continued strong demand for higher-grade products.
    
    Relatively stable commodity prices and global economic growth are anticipated. Over the next 
    six months the US-China trade tension and high oil price are expected to slow global economic 
    growth momentum somewhat. The rand to the US dollar exchange rate is expected to remain 
    volatile and subject to ongoing event risk such as US Federal interest rate normalisation, 
    geopolitical risks and emerging market sentiment.

13. REVISED DIVIDEND POLICY AND INTERIM DIVIDEND
    In determining the level of dividend payout Exxaro takes cognisance of the current state of 
    the industry, Exxaro's capital expenditure and other relevant commitments as well as its 
    ability to generate sustainable cash flows.
    
    Exxaro's declared dividend policy was based on a cover ratio of between 2.5 and 3.5 times 
    core attributable group earnings.
    
    Given Exxaro's strong balance sheet, underpinned by strong cash flow generation, the board of 
    directors has approved a revised dividend policy. The revised dividend policy comprises two 
    components; firstly, a pass through of the SIOC dividend received and secondly, a dividend based 
    on a targeted cover ratio of 2.5 to 3.5 core attributable coal earnings.
    
    Additionally, Exxaro is targeting a gearing ratio below 1.5 times net debt to EBITDA.
    
    The board of directors has therefore declared a cash dividend comprising:
    - 3.3 times core attributable coal earnings
    - Pass through of SIOC dividend of R1 263 million.
    
    Notice is hereby given that a gross interim cash dividend, number 31 of 530 cents per share, 
    for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 was declared, and is payable to shareholders of 
    ordinary shares. For details of the dividend, please refer to note 11 of the reviewed condensed 
    group interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018.
    
    Salient dates for payment of the interim dividend are:
    - Last day to trade cum dividend on the JSE Tuesday                          18 September 2018  
    - First trading day ex dividend on the JSE Wednesday                         19 September 2018  
    - Record date Friday                                                         21 September 2018  
    - Payment date Tuesday                                                       25 September 2018  
    
    No share certificates may be dematerialised or re-materialised between Wednesday, 19 September 2018 
    and Friday, 21 September 2018, both days inclusive. Dividends for certificated shareholders will 
    be transferred electronically to their bank accounts on payment date. Shareholders who hold 
    dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their central securities depository participant 
    or broker credited on Tuesday, 25 September 2018.
