Comments
Introduction
The six months to 31 December 2010 has been a period of strong production for
Clientele`s traditional operations, which, together with a withdrawal experience
relatively close to expectation, tight control of expenses and improved
investment returns have resulted in Clientele posting solid results.
Operating Results
Group Embedded Value
The Group has experienced pleasing growth during the period under review and
Group Embedded Value (EV) has increased from R1 859,2 million (after adjusting
for dividends and related Secondary Tax on Companies (STC)) to R2 171,5 million
at 31 December 2010. This reflects EV earnings of R312,4 million (2009: R234,1
million), after taking into account once off economic and other adjustments (See
EV Earnings analysis) and translates into an annualised Return on EV (ROEV) of
33.6% (2009: 29.8%). The Group`s VNB has increased by 14%, on the back of good
production volumes, from R189,8 million for the comparative six month period to
R215,9 million this period and New Business profit margins have remained healthy
at 23.8% (2009: 24.2%). Clientele Life`s strong increase in VNB this period was,
to an extent, countered by the decrease in VNB for Clientele Legal, as expanded
on in the Segment results below.
The main component of the withdrawal experience variance (negative R17,6 million
for the period) is a R11,8 million negative variance in respect of Clientele
Legal which has experienced withdrawals higher than assumptions for its older
policies. This also resulted in a change in assumptions for the EV calculation.
Refer to the comment under Segment results below.
The Group has experienced good investment returns for the six months from its
conservative investment portfolios as evidenced by the R21,3 million positive
investment return variance on Adjusted Net Worth (ANW). A major contributor to
the positive experience variance was the improved investment performance across
most asset classes during the six months.
The risk discount rate of 11.9% (2009: 13.25%) has been set in terms of current
actuarial guidance and includes a conservative adjusted beta of 1, an equity
risk premium of 3.5% and an additional risk margin of 1% to allow for some
conservatism given the economic climate. The calculation is comprehensively
explained and a sensitivity analysis is provided under the Group EV section of
the results.
Group Statement of Comprehensive Income
Headline earnings for the Group of R86,3 million are 12% higher than the
headline earnings of R76,9 million for the comparative period.
As a result, diluted headline earnings per share have increased by 12% to 26.54
cents, up from 23.71 cents and the annualised return on average shareholders`
interests amounted to 66% compared to 62% for the same period last year.
Insurance premium revenue for the period is up by 8% from R502,8 million to
R543,4 million and other income of R78,6 million, which mainly comprises annuity
fees from Clientele Life`s Independent Field Advertisers (IFAs), is 7% down on
the comparable six month figure of R84,3 million.
Operating expenses for the period have increased by 9% over the comparable six
month period which compares reasonably to the 8% increase in insurance premium
revenue for the period.
As referred to in the 2010 Annual Report, Clientele adopts the conservative
accounting practice of not recognising policies where the actuarial valuation
results in an asset (negative reserve). This means that acquisition costs are
expensed up front and profits in this regard are thus deferred over the life of
the policy. The total value of negative reserves now amounts to R1,3 billion in
comparison to R1,1 billion at 30 June 2010.
Net insurance benefits and claims of R104,0 million have increased by 35% from
R77,3 million for the same period last year. The majority of the increase is in
respect of policyholders benefit payments in respect of unitised endowment
contracts, many of which have now been held for 10 years or more.
The increase in policyholder liabilities under insurance contracts of R108,2
million (2009: R75,0 million) should be viewed in conjunction with the fair
value adjustment to financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. A
significant portion of the increase relates to the movement in the value of the
policyholders` unitised market related investment portfolio, which is correlated
to investment returns for the period.
Segment results
SA Long term insurance - Clientele Life
Clientele Life`s Long term insurance segment (The Life segment) remains the
major contributor to overall Group performance. It accounts for 96% or R207,9
million of the Group`s R215,9 million of VNB and generated R92,0 million net
profit for the period which exceeds the Group`s net profit for the period of
R82,1 million.
The Life segment has experienced strong production for the period which together
with withdrawal experience close to assumptions (R6,7 million negative
experience variance)and good investmentreturns has resulted in its VNB
increasing from R161,5 million to R207,9 million, an increase of 29%.
SA Investment contracts - Clientele Life
In terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), expenses in
respect of the Group`s Investment contracts (Single Premium business) are
expensed as and when incurred. The related revenue is however amortised over the
term of the contract (usually 60 months).
The result is that with a growing book this operating segment usually reports a
net loss for the period. This should be viewed in conjunction with the R29,5
million (2009: R17,9 million) of deferred profits included in the Statement of
Financial Position.
SA Short term insurance - Clientele General Insurance (Clientele Legal)
Clientele Legal now has an EV of R199,8 million (2009: R152,8 million) and has
recorded a R7,2 million net profit for the six months compared to the R0,6
million net profit for the comparable period last year.
VNB of R17,3 million for the period is down 50% from R34,4 million for the same
period last year. Withdrawal assumption changes (refer below) have had a R7
million negative effect on the VNB variance for the period, when compared to
last year, and lower production volumes relative to expenses have affected the
VNB variance for the period by R9 million.
Withdrawal experience in respect of older policies, which is being closely
monitored, has been worse than assumption resulting in a negative R11,8 million
withdrawal experience variance for the period.
In Clientele Legal`s first years of operation it applied the Financial Services
Board`s (FSB`s) general statutory percentage when determining its Incurred But
Not Reported (IBNR)claims
provision.
This provision has now been statistically determined by Clientele Legal`s
independent actuaries and has been approved by the FSB.
The effect of this change in estimate of R3,3 million (net of tax) is reflected
in the current year`s Statement of Comprehensive Income and in the Statement of
Financial Position.
Despite some setbacks during the reporting period, Clientele Legal is now an
established business in its own right and it is expected to make an important
contribution to the overall Group performance into the future.
SA Loans - Clientele Loans
The personal loans business, of which Clientele owns 70%, operated in
partnership with Direct Axis (SA) (Pty) Ltd., is progressing in line with
expectations and in accordance with its conservative
credit assessment and lending approach. The gross advances book at 31 December
2010 amounted to R74,3 million (2009: R27,2 million) and experience from the
book is as expected.
Operating results are in line with forecasts and the attributable net loss for
the period, after minorities share of losses, of R1,8 million (2009: R1,7
million loss) has increased by R0,1 million.
Impairments of advances of R4,4 million (2009: R2,3 million) are at expectation
and are in line with the growing advances book.
During the period loan funding of R30 million was raised from an external party
associated with Direct Axis (Pty) Ltd, as reflected in the increase in Loans at
amortised cost in the Statement of Financial Position as well as the cash flows
from financing activities.
SA Mobile - Clientele Mobile
Clientele Mobile recorded its maiden net profit for the period of R0,4 million
(2009: R0,2 million loss).
Nigeria - Long term brokerage (IFA Nigeria)
The IFA Nigeria consolidated loss before tax for the period amounted to R14.9
million and was in line with expectations. Production was also in line with
expectations and a number of new collection methods are in the process of being
tested, although premium collections and persistency remain the biggest
challenges.
By 31 December 2010, KC2008 Limited, Clientele`s Nigerian shareholder in IFA
Nigeria, was required to exercise its option to retain its 25% shareholding.
KC2008 has elected not to exercise its option and is therefore obliged to offer
Clientele Life (Netherlands) Cooperative U.A., a 100% subsidiary of Clientele
Limited, as many shares in the capital of IFA Nigeria as constitutes 10% of the
entire issued share capital. Clientele Netherlands provided written notice on 31
January 2011 to accept the offer and will own 85% of IFA Nigeria effective from
01 January 2011 for a nominal amount.
As we have limited experience in respect of our Nigerian operation, the
underlying assumptions that would be used for the Value of In-force and VNB
numbers are not yet reliable. The Board has, as a result, followed the approach,
in determining the EV for IFA Nigeria, whereby the EV is equal to the Net Asset
Value. This is the same approach as was used in 30 June 2010 results.
Prospects
We believe a firm foundation for future growth and value creation has been laid
by improving production capacity and the further diversification of products in
Clientele`s traditional Life Insurance business.
This is further enhanced by the value creation and improving performance of the
Group`s new ventures in South Africa (Clientele Legal, Clientele Loans Direct
and Clientele Mobile).
Whilst the Nigerian market offers considerable potential, it also has its
challenges, particularly in the area of collections. Clientele will continue to
monitor IFA Nigeria very closely.
In conclusion, the Group will remain focused on creating value through its
traditional business models and will add new businesses and products on a
conservative basis going forward. New ventures will be strictly managed and
monitored to ensure that the overall Group results remain favourably intact.

+ In the six months to December 2009, the deferred tax asset of
R7,4 million, previously raised in respect of IFA Nigeria`s net
loss since inception was reversed due to the uncertainty of
foreseeable future taxable profits. As a result, no deferred tax

Notes to the results
The results have not been reviewed or audited by the Group`s auditors,
PricewaterhouseCoopers. The increase in policyholderliabilities has been based
on best estimates after providing for compulsory and discretionary margins and
have been actuarially certified by QED Actuaries and Consultants (Pty) Ltd.
Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The accounting policies adopted for the purpose of the Group Financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the
JSE Limited Listings Requirements and the Companies Act 1973 (Act 61 of 1973),
as amended, and are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2010. The results have been prepared in
terms of IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting).
The preparation of Financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use
of certain critical accounting estimates and judgement. The reported amounts in
respect of the Group`s insurance contracts, employee benefits and unquoted
financial instruments are affected by accounting estimates and judgement.
There was no significant impact due to changes in previous assumptions used in
deriving the amounts referred to above.
Segment Information
The Group`s results are analysed across two geographical segments which are
South Africa (SA) and Nigeria.
The Group`s main operating segments are Long term insurance, Investment
contracts, Short term insurance, Loans business, Mobile business and Long term
brokerage segments. Policies written are in respect of individuals.

Group Embedded Value
The Embedded Value (EV) represents an estimate of the value of the Group,
exclusive of goodwill attributable to future new business. The EV comprises:
-'the Free Surplus; plus,
-'the Required Capital identified to support the in-force business; plus,
-'the Present Value of In-force business (PVIF); less,
-'the Cost of Required Capital (CoC).
The PVIF business is the present value of future after tax profits arising from
covered business in force as at 31 December 2010.
All material business written by the Group has been covered by EV Methodology as
outlined in Professional Guidance Note, PGN 107 of the Actuarial Society of
South Africa, including:
-'all long-term insurance business regulated in terms of the Long Term Insurance
Act, 1998;
-'annuity income arising from non-insurance contracts where EV Methodology has
been used to determine future shareholder entitlements;
-'Legal insurance business where EV Methodology has been used to determine
future shareholder entitlements; and
-'Loans business where EV Methodology has been used to determine future
shareholder entitlements.
As we have limited experience investigations in respect of our Nigerian
operation, the underlying assumptions that would be used for the Value of In-
force and Value of New Business (VNB) numbers are not yet reliable. The Board,
in June 2010, decided to follow the approach of setting the EV for the Nigerian
operation equal to the Net Asset Value. The 31 December 2009 numbers have been
re-stated(*) to follow a similar approach.
The EV calculations have been certified by the Group`s independent actuaries,
QED Actuaries & Consultants (Pty) Ltd. The EV can be summarised as follows:

The ANW of covered business is defined as the excess value of all assets
attributed to the covered business, but not required to back the liabilities of
covered business. Free Surplus is the ANW less the Required Capital attributed
to covered business.

The CoC is the opportunity cost of having to hold the Required Capital of R133.7
million as at 31 December 2010. The Required Capital has been set at the greater
of the Statutory Termination Capital Adequacy Requirement and 1.25 times the
Statutory Ordinary Capital Adequacy Requirement for the Life company plus the
Required Capital for the Short Term company.
The SAR scheme adjustment recognises the future dilution in EV, on a mark to
market basis, as a result of the SAR scheme.
Clientele Life`s Statutory Capital Adequacy Requirement (CAR) cover ratio at 31
December 2010 was 2.20 times (30 June 2010: 3.03 times) on the statutory
valuation basis.

The VNB (excluding any allowance for the Management Incentive scheme) represents
the present value of projected after tax profits at the point of sale on new
covered business commencing during the period ended 31 December 2010 less the
CoC pertaining to this business.
The New Business profit margin is the VNB expressed as a percentage of the
present value of future premiums (and other annuity fee income) pertaining to
the same business.

Risk discount rate % 11.90 13.25 12.60
Overall investment return % 7.40 8.75 8.10
Expense inflation % 5.40 6.75 6.10
Corporate tax % 28.00 28.00 28.00
The risk discount rate has been determined using a top-down weighted average
cost of capital approach, with the equity return calculated using Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM) theory. In terms of current actuarial guidance, the risk
discount rate has been set as the risk free rate plus a beta multiplied by the
assumed equity risk premium. It has been assumed that the equity risk
premium(i.e. the long term expected difference between equity returns and the
risk free rate) is 3.5%. In addition, 24 months ago, the Board decided it
prudent, in light of the prevailing economic conditions and the global financial
crisis, to add some additional conservatism to the EV calculation. This was
achieved via the addition of an explicit 1% margin to the risk discount rate.
This margin has been retained at this stage. The beta pertaining to the
Clientele share price is relatively low, which is partially a consequence of the
relatively small free-float of shares. After careful consideration, the Board
has opted, at this stage, to use a more conservative beta of 1 in the
calculation of the risk discount rate.
The resulting risk discount rate utilised for the South African business as at
31 December 2010 was 11.90%.

#Fraud was detected during the reporting period relating to policy sales in the
last quarter of the 2010 financial year. Whilst the cash loss and impact on IFRS
earnings to the Group was negligible, it did result in a reduction of Group EV
earnings for the period of R16,1 million. The related internal controls to
prevent and detect sales related fraud will continue to be enhanced to mitigate
the possibility of future fraud of this nature.
In addition, a batch of Legal policies was erroneously reflected as active at 30
June 2010 due to a once-off system error which also resulted in a reduction of
EV earnings for the period of R12,2 million.
