COMMENTARY

Reporting period

Kumba Iron Ore Limited ("Kumba" or "Company") was registered as a legal entity in May 2005. No trading took place in Kumba until November 2006, following the unbundling of Kumba from Kumba Resources Limited ("Kumba Resources") in terms of the Kumba Resources empowerment transaction. The published audited results therefore include trading for only the two-month period ended 31 December 2006.

Where reference is made to the 10-month period from 1 January 2006 to 31 October 2006, or to the 12-month period from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2006, readers are advised that this supplementary information has been prepared from financial information reported by Kumba Resources and is unaudited. As Kumba did not trade before 1 November 2006, being the date that the Kumba Iron Ore Limited Group ("Group") came into existence, no comparative figures are provided.
