| Statement of reponsibility by the board of directors |
| The directors are responsible for the preparation,
integrity and fair presentation of the annual financial statements
of Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited and its subsidiaries. The annual
financial statements presented on pages 6 to 12 and 42 to 78, have
been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (“SA GAAP”) and include amounts
based on judgements and estimates made by management. The directors
also prepared the other information in the annual report and are responsible
for both its accuracy and its consistency with the annual financial
statements. The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the annual financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the company or the group will not be going concerns in the foreseeable future based on forecast and available cash resources and ore reserves. The annual financial statements have been audited by the independent auditors, KPMG, who were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders, the board of directors and committees of the board. The directors believe that all representation made to the independent auditors during their audit are valid and appropriate. The audit report from KPMG is presented on page 41. The annual financial statements were approved by the board of directors on September 11, 2003 and are signed on its behalf by: |
