RE:Confused by earning statementOn cursury look, I am thinking the adjustments to the NI figures were primarily from currency translation. This was a significant amount in 2nd quarter. Other than Haile, the other mines are in non US currency jurisdictions and the reporting currency is US $ .
Adjusted earnings usually reflect earnings from the operations as such, and allowances are made for things like writedowns of assets or currency valuation changes of assets etc.
