Commentary

Introduction
The period under review has been dominated by a weakening macro-economic environment driven primarily by the
Eurozone crisis. This crisis has, in particular, led to lower platinum group metals (PGM) prices which are now impacting
the platinum mining industry. At the same time, the South African platinum mining industry has seen the emergence of
a new labour union which is impacting workplace dynamics and in turn operational performance. Disappointingly, the six
week illegal strike at the Impala operations had a significant impact on the production of PGMs and the financial
performance of the Group in FY2012. Cash preservation strategies have been implemented to manage the economic
downturn and operations are continually being assessed to ensure profitability. A full review of the capital spend has been
completed and spend for FY2013 has been reduced to R6.4 billion as compared to the R7.3 billion spent in the current
year. Impala's three new shaft projects, with a collective further investment of R10.2 billion over the next five years, remain
on track for future replacement production. The US$460  million phase 2 expansion at Zimplats continues to make
progress. The conclusion of indigenisation negotiations with the Zimbabwe government remains outstanding for both
Zimplats and Mimosa.

Safety
A major new initiative is required to change safety performance at the South African operations. It is with regret that
seven employees and five contractors died in work-related accidents during FY2012. Eleven of these accidents
happened at the Impala operations in Rustenburg and there was one accident at Marula. The Group fatal injury
frequency rate for the year was 0.087 per million hours worked and regressed by 64% compared to FY2011. The lost
time injury rate at 4.96 per million man hours worked for FY2012 remained at similar levels to FY2011 and the total injury
frequency rate improved by 17% to 11.9 per million man hours worked.

There were a number of notable safety milestone achievements in the year. At Impala, major achievements in terms of
fatality free shifts were as follows: #1 shaft: five million, #12 shaft: three million, #11 shaft: two million, #14 shaft and
#16 shaft one million each. Refineries progressed to 8.8 million fatality free shifts and Marula also achieved two million
fatality free shifts. Zimplats reached eight million fatality free shifts and achieved its lowest ever lost time injury frequency
rate of 0.21 per million man hours worked. Zimplats' Ngwarati and Rukodzi Mines, Impala's opencast mining section, as
well as Zimplats' Processing section all achieved zero lost time injuries over the 12 month period.

There are a number of major safety initiatives underway. These include the implementation of new policies, the
development and implementation of a new cultural transformation framework, improved hazard identification and risk
assessment systems, increased training for middle managers, full accredited training for 3 200 safety representatives by
2014 and driving the DuPont STOP process. The South African operations have committed to installing safety nets in
addition to hanging wall bolts on both the Merensky and UG2 stoping horizons and installing proximity warning devices
on mobile trackless mining equipment. Implats has also joined the Chamber of Mines as a full member with a view to
participating in, and contributing to, tripartite industry health and safety initiatives.

Market review
Events influencing PGM markets were centred around macro-economic events rather than fundamentals for the metals
themselves. The recovery seen in world markets post the 2008/9 global financial crisis has been impacted by the
financial woes currently being experienced in Europe.

Record average prices for platinum (US$1 732 per ounce) and palladium (US$734 per ounce) during 2011 deflated
sharply in September 2011 when first Greece and then Italy's fiscal problems became known. Investor sentiment shifted
to one of lowering risk through heavily liquidating forward markets. As a result, platinum prices fell from a high of
US$1 880 per ounce in September 2011 to a low of US$1 538 per ounce in that month  an 18% decline. In the same
month, palladium prices fell from a high of US$786 per ounce to a low of US$626 per ounce  a reduction of 20%.

A short-term platinum price recovery was seen early in 2012 and this was driven by lower interest rates and the strike
at Impala in Rustenburg. However, European concerns and negative investor sentiment saw platinum prices reduce from
a high of US$1 700 per ounce in February 2012 to US$1 400 per ounce by the end of June 2012. Palladium was similarly
affected and closed the year at US$568 per ounce. These prices, in conjunction with low productivity and high mining
costs, have stressed the platinum mining industry.

AUTOMOTIVE DEMAND
When compared to 2010, light duty vehicle sales for 2011 increased by 4% to 75 million units. For the six months of
2012, in excess of 40 million vehicles were sold, pointing to an annualised rate of nearly 81 million units, driven primarily
by increases in the US, China and Japan, offsetting the weakness in Europe. This level of sales underpins demand for
PGMs.

JEWELLERY DEMAND
Platinum jewellery sales for 2011 increased by 2.5% when compared to sales in 2010. This increase was driven by
Chinese purchasers taking advantage of lower platinum metal prices and its relative discount to the price of gold. Sales
for the first half of 2012 have continued at these modest rates.

INVESTMENT DEMAND
On the physical exchange traded fund (ETF) market investment in platinum increased by 140 000 ounces during 2011
and continued to grow marginally to June 2012 with the current balance now totalling 1.45 million ounces. Palladium
holdings reduced by over half a million ounces during 2011 to end at 1.74 million ounces. This has since recovered
somewhat and the balance at the end of June 2012 was 2.06 million ounces.

However it is in the forward markets that most of the change has occurred. In September 2011 over 0.8 million ounces
of platinum and 1.1 million ounces of palladium were liquidated and were the main drivers for the price reductions during
that period. During the first six months of 2012 there has been a marginal increase in platinum holdings whilst palladium
witnessed further liquidation.

Financial review
The financial performance of the Group for FY2012 was significantly affected by the six week strike at Impala during
February and March 2012. Revenues, at R27.6 billion, were R5.5 billion lower from that achieved in FY2011. Reduced
volumes contributed R6.1 billion of this and was made up as follows:
   
  The strike reduced platinum production by 150 000 ounces, palladium production by 77 000 ounces, rhodium
   production by 19 000 ounces and nickel production by 900 tonnes. This reduced revenue by R2.8 billion.
   
  A stock build-up in the current year, compared to a release in the previous year, resulted in lower revenue of R2.2
   billion.
   
  Other reductions in volumes at Impala, partially due to safety stoppages combined with lower volumes through IRS,
   resulted in lower revenues of R1.1 billion.

In total, lower dollar metal prices reduced revenues by R1.9 billion, primarily due to reduced US$ prices for platinum,
rhodium and nickel which each reduced by 5%, 30% and 19% respectively. This was more than offset by the weaker
rand of R7.71 (previous year of R7.03) which resulted in revenues increasing by R2.4 billion.
Group unit costs increased by 24% from R10 867 per platinum ounce to R13 450 per ounce and were affected by:
   
  Group inflation of 13.9% comprising:
   Inflation for the South African operations of 12.3% due to:
    
    normal wage increases of 10.0%;
    
    once off additional wage adjustments of 3.9%;
    
    consumables increasing by 7.4%; and
    
    an increase in the price of utilities of 22.8%.

   Inflation at the Zimbabwean operations of 23.1% comprising dollar inflation of 11.2% compounded by a weaker rand.
   The dollar inflation was mainly due to:-
   
    wage increases of 7.2%;
    
    consumables increasing by 5.4%; and
    
    electricity price increases of 47.8%.
   
  The lower volumes due to the strike (marginally offset by reduced costs) resulted in unit costs increasing by 10.9%.
   Other reductions in volumes accounted for a further 3% increase in unit costs, which was offset by the change in the
   accounting estimate for the capitalisation of development costs.

Cash generated from operations amounted to R5.0 billion (FY2011: R8.3 billion). Cash utilised on capital expenditure
amounted to R7.3 billion (FY2011: R5.3 billion) mainly on #20, #16 and #17 shafts at Impala and the Ngezi phase 2
project at Zimplats. Cash reduced from R4.5 billion to R0.6 billion and total borrowings in the Group increased by R1.2
billion to R3.0 billion, leaving the Group in a net borrowed position at the year end. As a result, and given expected
continued pressure on margins, the Board has resolved to increase the dividend cover to 3.5 times earnings, thereby
limiting the final dividend to 60 cents per share.

Operational review
IMPALA
Performance at Impala was adversely affected by the six week illegal strike in February and March 2012 and the slow
build-up of mining volumes once the strike had ended. The strike was caused by rock drill operators' dissatisfaction with
their wages. Initiatives are underway to normalise employee relations and engender respect throughout the organisation.

Volumes mined reduced by 24% to 10.65 million tonnes for FY2012 while headgrade reduced to 4.38 g/t and
1.71 million tonnes of low grade surface material was processed. Production from the Merensky Reef horizon increased
marginally to 43.4%. Conventional development metres, again mainly as a result of the strike, reduced by 28% to
70.6 kilometres and this reduction has had a negative effect on ore reserve flexibility. Overall, Impala had a 20% reduction
in refined platinum production to 750 100 ounces. Unit costs per refined platinum ounce excluding share-based
payments increased by 29% to R13 913 primarily due to the low production volumes.

Capital expenditure increased by 24% to R5.3 billion, the bulk of which was spent on the new #20, #16, and #17 shaft
development projects and decline brownfield projects. It is pleasing to report that #20 shaft has now commenced with its
production build-up. The equipping of the #16 shaft commenced during the year and underground development
continues via the ventilation shaft. At #17 shaft, sinking has reached a position of 1 609m below surface and the Merensky
Reef intersection is being excavated and supported prior to the resumption of sinking. Development on the 22nd level
continued through the ventilation shaft. The refrigeration plant construction is progressing well and commissioning is
planned for the December 2012 quarter.

A project to replace the final metals processing facility of the precious metals refining plant has been approved for R2.1
billion. Subject to legislative approvals, the project will start during FY2013 and is planned for completion by 2019.

ZIMPLATS
Zimplats once again delivered an excellent operational performance. Tonnes milled increased by 4% from FY2011 to
4.39 million resulting in a 3% increase in platinum matte production of 187 100 ounces. Unit cost per platinum ounce in
matte increased by 6% to US$1 239, driven by steep increases in power tariffs and wages.

The phase 2 expansion project remained on track. The concentrator and related infrastructure development are on
schedule for commissioning in April 2013, whilst the tailings dam will be completed in September this year.

A new indigenisation plan presented to the Government of Zimbabwe in March 2012 was accepted in principle.

Management remains in discussions with the Government to finalise certain critical details of the plan.

MIMOSA
Mimosa had a marginal increase in tonnes milled, grade and recoveries to 2.32 million, 3.9 g/t and 77.3% respectively.
This resulted in a 1% increase in platinum production in concentrate to 105 950 ounces. Unit costs per platinum ounce
in concentrate increased by 6% to US$1 453 due to a combination of higher wage and power costs. The indigenisation
plan is being advanced with the Goverment of Zimbabwe and is receiving priority attention.

MARULA
Tonnes milled at Marula increased by 2.4% to 1.58 million tonnes which was in line with planned levels. Grade declined
by 4.8% to 4.18 g/t due to a higher proportion of development tonnage in the latter part of the financial year. With
recoveries unchanged at 85.2%, platinum production in concentrate was 69 100 ounces. Unit costs per platinum ounce
in concentrate, excluding share based compensation, declined by 2.4% to R16 483.

TWO RIVERS
Tonnes milled at Two Rivers increased by 5.2% to 3.1 million tonnes. Whilst the processing of the Merensky Reef trial
mining reduced the headgrade by 2.1% to 3.86g/t, recoveries improved to 84.3%. The increase in tonnes milled boosted
platinum production to 149 900 ounces in concentrate. Unit costs increased by 12.5% to R10 814 per platinum ounce
which was in line with planned levels.

IMPALA REFINING SERVICES (IRS)
Refined platinum production declined by 22% to 698 000 ounces due to a fall in the third party and toll treatment
contracts over which the Group has no control. This was due to a combination of the once-off toll treatment for Lonmin
in the corresponding period a year ago, the closures at Aquarius Platinum and operational challenges at Eastern
Platinum.

AFPLATS
It is pleasing to announce that the Implats Board has approved the first phase of the Leeuwkop capital project located
on the Afplats property. The mine is designed to produce 2.16 million tonnes per annum and 145 000 ounces of platinum
per annum from the UG2 Reef horizon between 1 000m and 1 800m below surface. First production is planned in 2021
and will be sustained for a period of 19 years. The UG2 will be mined at a relatively wide average 137cm channel width.
The total capital required in real terms is R9.8 billion of which R261 million has been approved for the sinking of the 10m
diameter Main Shaft down to 330m below surface during the next financial year.

Prospects
The global economic climate is finely balanced between a gradual recovery, supported in some measure by further
government stimulus packages, and an unwelcome visit back to recession, driven by the inability of world leaders,
particularly those in Europe, to find sustainable solutions to their financial woes. Whilst the former scenario, coupled with
meaningfully reduced South African supply would see the markets move towards tighter conditions thereby supporting
prices, the latter would result in further reduction in margins and a reassessment of capital plans going forward.

Segment information

The Group distinguishes its segments between mining operations, refining services (which include metals
purchased and toll refined) and other.

Management has determined the operating segments based on the business activities and management
structure within the Group. Operating segments have consistently adopted the consolidated basis of
accounting and there are no differences in measurement applied.

Capital expenditure comprises additions to property, plant and equipment (note 5), including additions
resulting from acquisitions through business combinations.

Sales to the two largest customers in the Impala mining segment comprised 10% and 12% (2011: 10%
each) of total sales.

The statement of comprehensive income shows the movement from gross profit to total profit before
income tax.

Notes to the financial information

1.   General information
     Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats) is a primary producer of platinum and associated platinum group
     metals (PGMs). The Group has operations on the Bushveld Complex in South Africa and the Great Dyke in
     Zimbabwe, the two most significant PGM-bearing ore bodies globally.

     The Company has its primary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the
     London Stock Exchange.

     The condensed consolidated financial information was approved for issue on 23 August 2012 by the Board of
     directors.

2.   Audit opinion
     The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2012 and the related consolidated statement of
     comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended was
     audited by the Group's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. The individual auditor assigned to perform
     the audit is Mr JP van Staden. Their unqualified audit opinion is available for inspection at the Company's
     registered office.

3.   Basis of preparation
     The condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended 30 June 2012 has been prepared in
     accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards
     Board (in particular IAS 34, Interim financial reporting'), the AC 500 standards as issued by the Accounting
     Practices Board or its successor, requirements of the South African Companies Act, 2008 and Listings
     Requirements of the JSE Limited.

     The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
     statements for the year ended 30 June 2011, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
     The condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention
     except for certain financial assets, financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments which are measured
     at fair value and liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements which are measured with a
     binomial option model.

     The condensed consolidated financial information is presented in South African rand, which is the Company's
     functional currency.

4.   Accounting policies
     The principal accounting policies applied are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those of the annual
     financial statements for the previous year, except for the adoption of various revised and new standards. The
     adoption of these standards had no impact on the financial results of the Group, except as indicated below:

      IAS 1 (amendment) Presentation of Financial Statements (effective 1 July 2012). Amendment requiring items
       of other comprehensive income being grouped into those that will subsequently not be reclassified to profit
       and loss and those that will. This amendment required disclosure in the statement of comprehensive income
       indicating that all items will subsequently be reclassified to profit and loss.

      IAS 19 (amendment) Employee Benefits (effective 1 January 2013). The amendments eliminates the option

    On 23 August 2012, a sub-committee of the Board declared a final dividend of 60 cents per share amounting
    to R364 million for distribution in financial year 2013 in respect of financial year 2012. The dividend will be
    subject to new dividend tax imposed by the South African Revenue Services authority which became effective
    1 April 2012. Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) will not apply to the dividend. The new dividend tax will result
    in the shareholder being taxed on the dividend and not the Company.

11. Contingent liabilities and guarantees
    The Group has a contingent liability of US$36 million for Additional Profits Tax (APT) raised by ZIMRA (Zimbabwe
    Revenue Authority) consisting of an additional assessment of US$27 million in respect of the tax period 2007 to
    2009 and an APT amount of US$9 million for 2011 based on the assumption that this amount would be payable
    should the Zimplats appeal against the ZIMRA interpretation of the APT provisions fail in the Special Court of
