Harmony’s Annual Report, Notice of Meeting, Sustainable Development Report and its Annual Report filed on a Form 20F with the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended 30 June 2008 are available on our website at www.harmony.co.za.

Chief Executive Officer’s Review

Harmony is refocused, revitalised, re-organised and renewed. A lot of the hard work has been done and we are now starting to see the fruits of our `Back-to-Basics’ philosophy, although we are the first to acknowledge that more remains to be done. Our business is gold and we will continue to spend time ensuring that we achieve our targets and deliver value to shareholders.”

Graham Briggs, Chief Executive Officer

Overview

During the past quarter we planned for the year ahead — reflecting on our achievements and disappointments and taking into account the needs of our shareholders and stakeholders — to ensure that Harmony remains sustainable. We understand our business and are close to the detail, which allows us to make quick decisions if necessary. We continue to seek the best from our existing operations and to invest in our major projects to secure our gold reserves for the future.

Our plans for 2010 are detailed, comprehensive and — importantly — based on what we believe is achievable in the current gold environment. While we are well positioned to take immediate action should there be a decrease in the R/kg gold price, our project planning is in place to take advantage of a higher gold price. At a gold price of R250 000/kg our plans support strong cash flows, covering both on-going and growth capital.

Harmony’s balance sheet is in excellent health. Both our Nedbank loan and convertible bond were paid off during the quarter. With cash in the bank, we are in an exciting and advantageous position to pursue acquisition opportunities, invest in our organic growth projects and/or to pay a dividend.

Underground development was part of `Back-to-Basics’, and considerable time and effort has been spent in ensuring that operations meet their development targets. Most have performed well in this respect and we have created sufficient flexibility.

Safety

We are deeply saddened by the death of nine of our colleagues in seven separate incidents and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.

Those who died were: Frans Majake, a plant supervisor at Central Plant; Fuzile Ntlebi, a stope team leader at Brand 2; Legotla Nkhatho, a team leader at Target; Ntshumayelo Blayi, an underground assistant, and Dumisani Magagulu, an engineering service assistant, both at Evander 9; Tsibolane Khoso, a winch operator, Tello Tsoke, a rock drill operator, and Makoatsa Raletooana, a development team leader, all at Tshepong; and Vukile Bhomane, a stope team member at Masimong 5.

Folio /Folio

PAGEBREAK

The past two years have been an eye-opener not only for us, but for the industry as a whole. There has been a huge emphasis on safety by the Department of Mineral Resources, its shaft closures in the wake of mining accidents forcing all companies to re-assess their safety strategies, identify potential risk areas and re-focus on getting things right.

Behaviour-based safety within Harmony was first addressed at management level to ensure our leadership understood that leading from the front results in improved behaviour, and at every operation the concept has been rolled downward through each operation committing to their own set of aspirations and targets.

Criminal mining

We do everything reasonably practicable to ensure that access to restricted areas is barred. The deaths of 90 criminal miners at our Eland Shaft in the Free State during May 2009 was of enormous concern to us. These men died as a result of a fire allegedly caused by their own unsafe mining practices.

Criminal mining is regarded as an organised crime that requires the input and assistance of all stakeholders — on national and international levels — to ensure that an incident such as the one at Eland Shaft is not repeated. Harmony has been addressing criminal mining activities at operational level pro-actively and continues to do so in co-operation with the South African Police Services (SAPS) and the Department of Justice. Measures we have taken are aimed mainly at the criminal miners and those of our employees who are found to aid and abet them. To get to the heart of criminal mining — the large, well-organised syndicates operating multi-nationally — requires resources beyond ours, which is why we are extremely pleased that the Minister of Mineral Resources has intervened and established a multi- stakeholder forum to address the issue, to which we have committed our whole-hearted support.

Operations and costs

During the past quarter, total gold production increased by 1%. Each of the operations, with the exception of Tshepong, Virginia, Kalgold and Evander, recorded production improvements. The average underground grade was 3% lower, reflecting grade under-performance at Tshepong, Masimong and Bambanani. Total cash operating costs increased by 6% due to higher volumes, one month of higher winter electricity tariffs and stores costs.

Overall throughput and grade were both disappointing in the past year and have been addressed as part of our planning for FY2010. Doornkop and Elandsrand, as examples, have not met their targets and will only reach full production in 2013. Focused, accelerated development will continue to be a major priority, particularly at the new projects, increasing average grade and lowering unit costs.

During the past quarter, the Hamata Plant in Papua New Guinea (PNG) received its first tonnage and a small amount of gravity concentrate was recovered, which was smelted during partial commissioning of the refinery in June 2009. Full commissioning is progressing well and will be completed during the forthcoming quarter.

Labour and electricity remain Harmony’s biggest cost items, with labour representing 56% and electricity 12% of our total costs for FY09.

Wage settlement

Negotiations with the various unions on wage increases were concluded at the end of July 2009. To absorb this additional cost, our focus on productivity and efficiency improvements continue in earnest.

The wage settlement provides for:

- a 10.5% wage increase for employees in category 3;
- a 10% wage increase for employees in categories 4 to 8; and
- a 9% increase for all other employees in the bargaining unit.

Also agreed was that the minimum wage be increased to R4 000 a month with effect from July 2010 for category 3 employees. The wage increases are supplemented by non-contributory medical aid, as well as a living-out allowance or free accommodation and food, as has been practice in the South African mining industry.

A guaranteed wage increase of 7.5%, or Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 1%, whichever is the higher of the two, was agreed for the second year of the two-year settlement agreement.

Electricity

Greater volumes of electricity were consumed at our operations during June 2009. During the past quarter winter tariffs came into effect, resulting in a R40 million increase in electricity costs.

The recent electricity tariff increase of 34.6%, effective from 1 July 2009, will result in electricity costs increasing from 12% to 16% of Harmony’s total cash operating costs.

Healthy balance sheet

Our motivation to re-establish a healthy balance sheet was two-fold: to reduce our debt levels and to fund our major capital programme. Two successful share issues and the proceeds from the Hidden Valley and Rand Uranium transactions during the year enabled us to repay the R1.7 billion convertible bond and the Nedbank loan of R2 billion, leaving us with debt of R362 million. We have approximately R2 billion in the bank to consider a range of options, such as further organic growth, acquisitions and paying dividends.

Acquisitions

We have looked at a number of potential acquisitions — our main criteria being good returns and the adding of value to Harmony’s portfolio of assets. Harmony has been rigorous in applying its acquisition criteria filters, and has not found many assets worth buying. Most operations for sale require substantial capital to bring them to an acceptable level of profitability and the few projects available would incur enormous developmental costs.

However, during June 2009, we reported that the provisional liquidators for Pamodzi Gold Free State (Proprietary) Limited (Pamodzi Free State) had chosen Harmony as the preferred bidder of Pamodzi’s Free State’s assets (Pamodzi Free State Assets). These consist of President Steyn 1 and 2 Shafts, Loraine 3 Shaft, Freddies 7 Shaft and Freddies 9 Shaft, a metallurgical gold plant and a dormant tailings storage facility. A due diligence investigation was completed and indicates that the Pamodzi Free State Assets are a good fit with Harmony’s Free State assets.

The reasons are several, and include:

  • their potential to generate recovered grades of approximately 5g/t in the medium term. This will enhance Harmony’s recovered grade in the Free State;

Folio /Folio

PAGEBREAK

  • their potential, in the longer term, to add 150 000 higher quality ounces per year to Harmony’s production;

  • Loraine 3 Shaft and Freddies 9 Shaft, respectively, have an estimated life of mine in excess of 10 years;

  • Loraine 3 Shaft (including Loraine 1 Shaft) has similar geology to that of Harmony’s Target mine (Target);

· Loraine 3 Shaft and Target can be managed as one unit due to geological similarities and geographical proximity; ore body and mining synergies exist between Freddies 7 Shaft and

  • Freddies 9 Shaft and Harmony’s Tshepong Mine;

  • Harmony’s Target metallurgical gold plant is 10 kilometres from

  • Loraine 3 Shaft, which will have cost benefits; the President Steyn 2 Shaft pillar can only be extracted optimally from Harmony’s West Mine shaft (currently on care and maintenance) and part of Harmony’s Bambanani mine;

  • Harmony’s management is very familiar with Pamodzi Free State’s ore bodies;

  • Pamodzi Free State’s dormant tailings storage facility can be processed cost-effectively through Harmony’s Phoenix Plant or through Harmony’s St Helena Plant (when completed);

  • cash flow can be generated at an early stage from the President Steyn 2 Shaft pillar, as well as from the demolition of Pamodzi Free State’s metallurgical gold plant;

  • Harmony is familiar with the infrastructure challenges of the Pamodzi Free State Assets and will implement the same standards as those implemented in respect of its own assets to ensure the safety of its employees. Some capital expenditure will be required to make the operations safe for employees and to optimise the ability to operate the Pamodzi Free State Assets; and

  • by purchasing the Pamodzi Free State Assets, Harmony will be able to better control potential issues which may affect its own mines, such as fires, flooding and restricting illegal miners gaining access to Harmony’s shafts.

The Pamodzi Free State Assets will be purchased free from all liabilities, save for all associated rehabilitation and environmental liabilities. The purchase consideration for these assets is R405 million.

Harmony’s offer was accepted, following approval from the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa and the relevant trade unions. The only remaining condition to the final acceptance of the offer is the conclusion of definitive written sale agreements. One of the essential conditions precedent to the transaction would be the conversion of Pamodzi Free State’s mining rights and the consent to the transfer thereof by the Minister of Mines. Harmony, together with the provisional liquidators, has agreed to give this condition precedent their urgent attention.

Newcrest Mining Limited (Newcrest)

During the last quarter Newcrest continued to fund all the capital costs in Hidden Valley and achieved its final milestone of owning 50% of the Morobe Joint Venture.

Rand Uranium

Harmony has a 40% holding in Rand Uranium (Pty) Ltd (Rand Uranium). Rand Uranium operates as an independent company with an independent management team. It produces approximately 220 000 ounces of gold per year at a cash cost in the region of R185 000/kg.

The underground ore resources are being assessed for gold/uranium potential and a definitive feasibility study for a 450 000t/month uranium plant should be completed by the end of calendar year 2009. The primary ore feed for the plant will be the Cooke Dump and secondary feed will come from underground sources, while gold production will continue.

Organic growth

We are now well embarked upon our organic growth strategy. We have a number of exciting organic growth projects such as the Wafi open pit mine and Golpu block cave as well as exploration opportunities in Papua New Guinea, while in South Africa there are the St Helena tailings, St Helena 10 Shaft and Evander South projects. Not all have been approved by the Board as yet, but we have started scoping studies and, in some instances, pre-feasibility studies to establish whether these projects could deliver optimal returns in future.

Dividend

We believe that paying a dividend is a sign of a healthy company. Harmony has recovered well and some of our shareholders have remained loyal throughout the turmoil Harmony has experienced. As a result, the Board has agreed to declare a 50 SA cents dividend. See page 8 for the notice of the dividend payment.

Gold market

The main contributing factor to the negative variance in our cash operating profit for the quarter was undeniably the lower average R/kg gold price received, a consequence of a strong Rand which converts directly into dramatically higher $/oz cash costs. Being unhedged, the company has always focused on ounces which can be mined at total costs below the spot price of gold.

For us, since the bulk of our production is from South Africa, the Rand’s strength and the Rand gold price’s weakness is of considerable concern. While we are bullish about gold reaching and holding at a level of $1 000/oz by the end of calendar year 2009, general investment demand for the metal remains and it continues as a store of wealth. It is prudent to assume that the South African currency will continue to be attractive to speculators for as long as it takes for real evidence of a global economic recovery to materialise.

For this reason, we have planned very conservatively for the year ahead — on the basis of a gold price of R225 000/kg. Should the R/kg gold price continue at lower levels, incremental cutbacks from marginal mining operations and capital reduction can be expected.

Tomorrow’s gold

Our growth strategy taking us to 2.2 million ounces is intact. While continuing to pursue production improvements at our existing operations, we are spending capital on current projects, conducting scoping studies to establish the possibility of a pipeline of others, growing reserves and resources and strengthening the quality of our asset base.

Folio /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Our challenge going forward is to meet our targets and objectives — more specifically to deliver consistent production results and curb costs.

Through sound asset portfolio management and operational efficiency, we will create the necessary platform to create more value from our growth assets, the high-cost operations and our projects.

Thanks

We wish to express our sincere thanks to every Board member, employee, shareholder and stakeholder who has supported Harmony to date. Thank you for believing that Harmony could be stabilised. Constructive criticism and the challenges we had to face made us stronger and we will continue to ensure that Harmony is a company that provides sustainable growth and rewards shareholders.

Ore reserves

The declared Ore Reserves amounts to 48.2 million ounces with a year on year negative variance of 2.3 million ounces. Table 1 shows more detail of the year on year reserve variance.

As indicated in Table 1, Harmony’s Ore Reserves as at 30 June 2009 reflects a year-on-year depletion of 1.6 million ounces. The equity adjustment at Papua New Guinea from 69.9% to 50% attributable to Harmony resulted in a further decrease of 0.9 million ounces. The net effect of other changes at the South African operations accounts for an addition of 0.2 million ounces. A gold price of US$750/oz was used for the conversion of Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves at our South African and Papua New Guinea operations. An exchange rate of USD/ZAR 9.33 for South Africa and AUD/USD 0.75 for Australia has been used, resulting in a gold price of R225 000/kg and A$1 000/oz, respectively.

| (a) | While Mount Magnet was classified as held-for-sale, no depreciation was
recorded as per the requirements of IFRS 5, Non-current Asset Held-for-sale and
Discontinued Operations. When Mount Magnet ceased being classified as
held-for-sale, depreciation was calculated for the period from April 2007 to
June 2009 and R219 million recorded in the current quarter. |

| * | The revised business (Life-of-Mine) plans were completed during the June 2009

Assets, and as a result impairments were recorded. |
| --- | --- |
| + | The impairment recorded for Mount Magnet since being classified as
held-for-sale was reversed when the requirement for IFRS 5 were no longer met
and the carrying value was adjusted for depreciation as per IFRS 5. See note
2(a) in this regard. |

  1. Other income — net

Included in other income in the June 2009 quarter is R76 million profit on sale of 9.99% (March 2009: R437 million profit on sale of 10%) of Harmony’s Papua New Guinea gold and copper assets to Newcrest Mining Limited in terms of the farm-in agreement. The total profit included for the year to date relating to the Newcrest transaction is R931 million.

  1. Non-current assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations

(a) Following approval by the Board of Directors in April 2007, the asset and liabilities related to Mount Magnet (operations in Australia) were classified as held-for-sale. This operation also met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations in terms of IFRS 5. During the June 2009 quarter, it was decided that further drilling at the site to define the orebody would enhance the selling potential of the operation. As a result, the operation no longer met the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held-for-sale, and was therefore reclassified as continuing operations again. Consequently, the income statements and earnings per share amounts for all comparative periods have been represented taking this change into account.

(b) The assets and liabilities relating to the Cooke 1, Cooke 2, Cooke 3, Cooke plant and relating surface operations (operations in the Gauteng area) have been presented as held-for-sale following the approval of the Group’s management on 16 October 2007. These operations were also deemed to be discontinued operations.

The conditions precedent for the sale of Randfontein’s Cooke assets to Rand Uranium were fulfilled and the transaction became effective on 21 November 2008. In exchange for 60% of the issued share capital of Rand Uranium, Pamodzi Resources Fund (PRF) agreed to pay Harmony a purchase consideration of US$209 million. US$40 million of this amount was received on the effective date with the balance and the interest on the outstanding amount, together amounting to US$172 million, being received on 20 April 2009.

The Group recognised a profit on sale of assets of R64 million (before tax) relating to the sale of Dump 20 to Rand Uranium in the June 2009 quarter. The total profit for the year for the transaction is R1 786 million before tax.

  1. Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share

Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for the quarter ended 30 June 2009: 425.7 million (31 March 2009: 421.0 million, 30 June 2008: 402.8 million) and the year ended 30 June 2009: 414.1 million (30 June 2008: 400.8 million).

The fully diluted earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated on weighted average number of diluted ordinary shares in issue for the quarter ended 30 June 2009: 427.5 million (31 March 2009: 423.6 million, 30 June 2008: 405.2 million) and the year ended 30 June 2009: 416.0 million (30 June 2008: 402.9 million).

PAGEBREAK

We have filed with the Court a Motion to Dismiss all claims asserted in the Class Action Case, the plaintiffs have filed an opposing response, and we have since replied to that response. At this point the matter is in the hands of the Court and we are awaiting a ruling by the Court. It is not possible to predict with certainty when the Court will rule on the Motion to Dismiss as the timing of the ruling is entirely within the discretion of the Court.

  1. Subsequent events

Dividends

On 13 August 2009, the Board of Directors approved a final dividend for the 2009 financial year of 50 SA cents per share. The total dividend amounts to R213 million. As this dividend was declared after the reporting date, it has not been reflected in the financial statements for the periods ended 30 June 2009.
