NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

 

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed February 26, 2007.

References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “CDN$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency and “$” to United States currency.

Certain amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and as of December 31, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. The Company has reclassified the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement amounts for the Merchant Banking Segment and the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture operation from the historical presentation to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Cash Flows for all periods presented.

(2) ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company revised its estimate of haul truck lives prospectively to ten years based on experience. The impact of the change in estimate was a reduction of Depreciation, depletion and amortization of $6 for the second quarter of 2007.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

Income Taxes

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. Refer to Note 8 for a discussion regarding the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. The Company had $13 accrued for interest at January 1, 2007. This amount has been considered in the statement of financial position as part of the cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and in foreign jurisdictions. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for years through 1999.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 are

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

 

effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

(3) PRICE-CAPPED FORWARD SALES CONTRACTS

In 2001, the Company entered into transactions that closed out certain call options. The options were replaced with a series of forward sales contracts requiring physical delivery of the same quantity of gold over slightly extended future periods. Under the terms of the contracts, the Company would realize the lower of the spot price on the delivery date or the capped price, ranging from $381 to $392 per ounce. The forward sales contracts were accounted for as normal sales contracts under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment to SFAS No. 133.” The initial fair value of the forward sales contracts was recorded as deferred revenue, and the fair value of these contracts was not included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In June 2007, the Company paid $578 to eliminate its entire 1.85 million ounce price-capped forward sales contracts. The Company reported a pre-tax loss of $531 ($460 after-tax) on the early settlement of the contracts, after a $47 reversal of previously recognized deferred revenue.

(8) INCOME TAXES

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly is subject to, and pays, annual income taxes under the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and to pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. The interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized a $72 increase in its net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of the adoption date, the beginning balance of net deferred tax assets was reduced by $37 (primarily, as a result of utilization of foreign tax credits and net operating losses as part of the FIN 48 measurement process, offset, in part, by the impact of the interaction of the Alternative Minimum Tax rules), goodwill increased by $5, minority interest increased by $4, and retained earnings decreased by $108. Also as of the adoption date, the Company reclassified $16 of income tax liabilities from current to non-current liabilities because payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. At January 1, 2007, the Company had $267 of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of this, $202 represents the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. There have been no significant changes to these amounts in the second quarter of 2007.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense. The Company had $13 accrued for interest at January 1, 2007.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and in foreign jurisdictions. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for years through 1999.

In December 2006, the Company entered into an in-principle heads of agreement with the Australian Taxation Office. The heads of agreement specifies the terms of a proposed settlement of the outstanding audit issues relating to Normandy for the tax years 1994-1999. The issues relate to years before the Company acquired Normandy. At the date of the business combination, Normandy had recorded no income tax liability with respect to the tax positions taken in reporting certain transactions, therefore the Company’s initial best estimate of the income tax contingency relating to these issues was recorded as a tax liability at the date of acquisition, February 15, 2002, by increasing the purchase price of Normandy. At December 31, 2006, the long-term income tax liability balance relating to this proposed settlement was reclassified to current income taxes payable. The $276 (A$336) income tax liability was paid in the second quarter of 2007. On July 13, 2007, the Company received a closure letter from the Australian Tax Office stating that all audit issues for the tax years 1994-1999 are settled.

(9) MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

Newmont has a 45% ownership interest in the Batu Hijau mine, held through a partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan. Newmont has a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that owns Batu Hijau. Newmont identified NTP as a Variable Interest Entity and has fully consolidated Batu Hijau in its consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafa Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company. Because PTPI’s interest was a carried interest, and because PTPI had been advanced a loan by NTP, Newmont reported a 52.875% economic interest in Batu Hijau, which reflected its actual economic interest in the mine until such time as the loan was fully repaid (including accrued interest). On May 25, 2007, PTPI fully repaid the loan (including accrued interest) from NTP. As a result of the loan repayment, Newmont’s economic interest in Batu Hijau was reduced from 52.875% to 45% and the Company recorded a net charge of $25 million (after-tax) against Minority interest expense in the second quarter of 2007.

(10) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include the Company’s Merchant Banking Segment, its 50% interest in the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture, expropriated by the Uzbekistan government in August 2006, and the Holloway mine sold in November 2006.

During June 2007, Newmont’s Board of Directors approved a plan to cease Merchant Banking activities. Merchant Banking previously provided advisory services to assist in managing the Company’s portfolio of operating and property interests. Merchant Banking was also engaged in developing value optimization strategies for operating and non-operating assets, business development activities, merger and acquisition analysis and negotiations, monetizing inactive exploration properties, capitalizing on proprietary technology and know-how and acting as an internal resource for other corporate groups to improve and maximize business outcomes. As a result of the Board’s approval of management’s plan to cease Merchant Banking activities, the Company recorded a $1,665 non-cash charge to impair the goodwill associated with the Merchant Banking Segment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company has decided to dispose of its royalty portfolio and a portion of its existing equity investments within the next twelve months and will not make further investments in equity securities that do not support its core mining business.

The Company has reclassified the balance sheet amounts and the income statement results from the historical presentation to Assets and Liabilities of operations held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and to (Loss) income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified for discontinued operations for all periods presented.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, losses of $nil and $59, respectively, were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The amount anticipated to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income to income for derivative instruments during the next 12 months is a gain of approximately $7. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is 4 years.

Newmont had copper collar contracts with a fair value of $(173) and gold put option contracts of $(1) outstanding at December 31, 2006. Final delivery under the copper collar contracts occurred in February 2007.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company’s provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the copper concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At June 30, 2007 and 2006, Batu Hijau had the following gross revenues (before treatment and refining charges) subject to final price adjustments:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

At June 30, 2007, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its $275 8 5/8% debentures expiring in 2011. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these transactions had an insignificant impact on interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $nil and $1 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(12) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

During the second quarter of 2007, Newmont sold shares of Oxiana Ltd. and Pan Australian Resources, recognizing gains of $4 and $2, respectively, purchased shares of Neptune Minerals for $5 and recognized a $4 impairment of its investment in Southwestern Resources for an other-than-temporary decline in value of marketable equity securities. During the first half of 2007, the unrealized value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities increased by $38, primarily related to an increase in the value of Canadian Oil Sands Trust offset by a decline in value of Shore Gold, Inc.

In June 2007, the Board of Directors of Newmont approved a plan to discontinue its Merchant Banking Segment. Specifically, the Company has decided to dispose of a portion of its existing equity investments within the next twelve months and not to make further investments in equity securities that do not support its core mining business. As a result, Newmont’s investment in Canadian Oil Sands Trust has been reclassified to current. In addition, the realized investment gains and impairments have been reclassified to (Loss) income from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For more information on the discontinued operation of the Merchant Banking Segment, see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
