      JOHANNESBURG, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On 1 July 2013, Sasol (JSE: SOL, NYSE: SSL) adopted a number of new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which impacted the previously reported financial results of the group. These new accounting standards include IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.

      In accordance with the transition provisions, these standards have been applied with retrospective effect resulting in a restatement of the previously reported financial results. As part of our commitment to keep our stakeholders informed, this document provides information on the restated comparative reporting periods that will be disclosed alongside the group's results for the six months ended 31 December 2013.

      This information is preliminary and has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.

      Paul Victor
      Acting Chief Financial Officer
      28 February 2014
      Johannesburg

      1.   Overview of reporting changes

      The consolidation suite of standards, namely IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11) and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12) became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Accordingly, Sasol adopted these new accounting standards on 1 July 2013 which resulted in a restatement of the group's previously reported results for the years ended 30 June 2013 and 2012 and the six months ended 31 December 2012.

      IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

      IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.

      This standard provides a single basis for consolidation with new criteria to determine whether entities, in which the group has an interest should be consolidated.

      The adoption of IFRS 10 has resulted in an existing subsidiary, National Petroleum Refiners of South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Natref), in which the group has a 64% interest, being accounted for as a joint operation using the line-by-line consolidation method.

      No other material subsidiaries within the group were affected.

      The group has applied IFRS 10 retrospectively in accordance with the transition provisions and the results for the years ended 30 June 2013 and 2012 and the six months ended 31 December 2012 has been restated accordingly.

      IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements

      IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC-13, Jointly-controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers and changes the classification for joint arrangements.

      Under IFRS 11, a joint arrangement is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture based on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement, the legal form of the joint arrangement and when relevant, other facts and circumstances.

      IFRS 11 removes the option to proportionately consolidate joint ventures and instead, all interests in joint arrangements that meet the definition of a joint venture under IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method.

      The adoption of IFRS 11 has resulted in the following changes:

      1 The group disposed of its investment in Arya Sasol Polymer Company in August 2013. The comparative periods for the years ended 30 June 2013 and 2012 and the six months ended 31 December 2012 have been restated in accordance with IFRS 11 to include this investment as an equity accounted joint venture.

      2 In December 2012, Sasol acquired the remaining 50% shareholding in Merisol. Accordingly, this investment was accounted for as a 100% subsidiary from 31 December 2012.

      All other joint arrangements (including Sasol Canada and Natref), will continue to be accounted for using the line-by-line consolidation method.

      IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

      IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity's interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. These disclosures will be provided in the group's annual financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2014.

      2.   Impact of new accounting standards on the group results

      The impact of adopting IFRS 10 and IFRS 11 on the group results for the comparative periods is indicated in the tables to follow:

      Forward-looking statements:

      Sasol may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return and cost reductions. Words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. You should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 20-F filed on 9 October 2013 and in other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking statements to make investment decisions, you should carefully consider both these factors and other uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

      Please note: A billion is defined as one thousand million. All references to years refer to the financial year ended 30 June. Any reference to a calendar year is prefaced by the word "calendar"
