Executive review
It is particularly pleasing to present another set of satisfactory results to
our stakeholders, delivering on our promise of sustained value creation.
The Group`s strategy, focussed on the five pillars of optimal capital
utilisation, earnings growth, costs and efficiencies, diversification and
transformation, has been in place for a number of years and remains relevant
in a continuously changing world. Our strategy provided a solid base to
perform in a challenging business environment over the last three years. The
first half of the 2011 financial year was no exception.
In the 2010 annual report we indicated that we did not expect the South
African economy to stage a large-scale recovery, but to reflect slow, yet
steady progress. We also expected volatility to remain in global investment
markets, as well as weakness in developed economies. These expectations
summarise actual conditions experienced in the first six months of 2011.
Despite overall positive economic growth in South Africa, the economy remains
fragile with many consumers still struggling with high debt levels despite
historic low lending rates. Increases in administered prices aggravate the
pressure on disposable income and are also expected to reflect in an increase
in inflation over the next year. The other African economies in which the
Group operates continue to exhibit a delayed recovery on the back of higher
resource prices. Operating conditions in Botswana were impacted by industrial
action in the public sector, of which the full adverse impact on business
results may still materialise. Against this backdrop, the Group delivered a
solid performance.
Our primary performance target is to optimise shareholder value through
maximising the return on Group Equity Value (ROGEV) per share. This measure of
performance is regarded as the most appropriate given the nature of the
Group`s diversified business and incorporates the result of all the major
value drivers in the business.
The ROGEV target for 2011 is 12,4%, based on the objective to exceed the
Group`s cost of capital by 100 basis points. Cost of capital is set at the
government (9-year) bond yield at the start of each financial year plus 300
basis points. Over a short-term measurement period the actual return achieved
can be distorted by volatile market movements. An `adjusted` ROGEV that aims
to exclude the impact of investment market volatility and other significant
items not under management`s control is therefore also reported. This is
calculated principally by assuming that for purposes of the investment return
earned on the supporting capital of covered business and the valuation of
other Group operations, the investment return assumptions used at the
beginning of the reporting period were actually achieved in that period.
The actual annualised ROGEV per share achieved for the first half of 2011 was
12,8%, impacted negatively by unfavourable equity market performance, but
partly offset by the release in the valuation base of the allowance for
Secondary Tax on Companies (`STC`). This follows the imminent replacement of
STC with a dividend withholding tax effective 1 April 2012. The adjusted
annualised ROGEV per share for the same period amounted to 12,6%, exceeding
the target. Sustainable value creation remains a key component of the Group`s
strategy. On a cumulative basis the Group has outperformed the ROGEV
performance target since being demutualised in 1998.
Other key performance indicators for the Group`s interim results are as
follows:
* Net result from financial services increased by 22% on 2010 to 84,7 cents
per share;
* New business volumes of R55 billion, up 11% on 2010;
* Value of new life business up 26% to R356 million; and
* Net fund inflows of R11 billion in 2011 compared to R7 billion in 2010.
Sanlam shareholders have been handsomely rewarded by the success of the
Group`s strategy over the past few years. Over the last five years, the Sanlam
share price (excluding dividends) significantly outperformed the major
JSE/FTSE indices.
Delivering on strategy
We made steady progress on the priorities for 2011 that were outlined in the
Group`s 2010 Integrated Annual Report. Some major initiatives are:
* Pursue profitable growth opportunities with the aim of efficiently
redistributing discretionary capital
Agreement has been reached with the Shriram Group, our partners in India, to
increase Sanlam`s exposure to the financial services activities of the Shriram
Group. These are held through a holding company, Shriram Capital, and include
commercial financing, retail financing, a distributor of wealth products and
stock broking businesses, as well as a 51% holding in each of the life and
general insurance joint ventures with Sanlam.The activities of all these
businesses are closely interrelated through cross selling, shared management
and services as well as a shared distribution force.A Sanlam investment in
Shriram Capital therefore better aligns the current and the future expansion
interests of Sanlam with that of our Indian partner, while it also provides
Sanlam access to the strong growth and profit generating capacity of the
financing entities. This investment is also in line with Sanlam`s strategy to
diversify both geographically and into broader financial services. In terms of
the agreement with Shriram, Sanlam will subscribe for an effective 26%
interest in Shriram Capital through a cash contribution of R1,9 billion, while
Sanlam`s 26% interest in both Shriram Life Insurance and Shriram General
Insurance will also be transferred to Shriram Capital. The existing management
and governance arrangements in the insurance ventures, as well as Sanlam`s
entitlement to acquire a further 23% in both ventures, will remain unchanged.
The transaction is still subject to regulatory and SARB approval.
We are also investigating a number of opportunities for expansion in Africa.
This includes potential consolidation in some markets, as well as expansion
into new countries, with Mozambique likely to be added in 2011. Other
initiatives are at various stages of development and further information will
be provided when appropriate. The potential for expansion into South East Asia
will also be considered during the remainder of the year.
* Expand our adviser and broker footprint
Both SPF and SDM are expanding their distribution footprint. After a
reduction in SDM`s South African sales force as part of its focus on writing
quality business, steady progress is being made to increase adviser numbers
again. Nucleus, our Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) controlled investment
platform in the United Kingdom (UK) continues to grow strongly. Net inflows of
R3,7 billion were achieved during the first half of 2011, increasing Nucleus`
funds under administration to R13 billion. The target is to further expand our
distribution reach during the remainder of the year.
* To ensure appropriate strategic focus across the Group, the management
structure was changed with effect from 1 July 2011 (reported results for the
first six months of 2011 are still based on the old structure):
- Emerging markets outside of South Africa have been identified as a strategic
future growth accelerator for the Group. To ensure appropriate management
attention on these markets, all of the operations in Africa (excluding South
Africa) and India have been combined into a Sanlam Emerging Markets cluster
under the leadership of Heinie Werth (former chief executive of Sanlam
Developing Markets). This includes operations formerly managed within the
Sanlam Personal Finance, Short-term Insurance and Institutional clusters,
thereby effectively transforming the Group`s product-based approach in
emerging markets into a holistic country-based approach. This will enable
structured and focussed development of the Group`s exposure in these markets
and contribute to leveraged growth opportunities.
- The South African consumer landscape is continuously transforming, with
particularly entry-level clients migrating to the middle-income market. In
line with the Group`s client centric strategy to provide clients with a
superior `Journey For Life` experience, it became appropriate to merge the
South African operations of Sanlam Developing Markets with that of Sanlam
Personal Finance under the leadership of Lize Lambrechts. This will ensure
improved client service and the opportunity for a seamless addition of Sanlam
solutions to clients` portfolios as their needs and level of disposable income
change. At the same time it will ensure better coordination in targeting the
full spectrum of the South African retail client market.
- The Group`s presence in the developed markets is primarily aimed at
providing South African retail and institutional clients with international
investment opportunities, while augmenting these niche operations with some
local distribution footprint to enhance efficiency and economies of scale. The
Sanlam UK operations are essentially investment management businesses and
directly linked to the Institutional clusters` operations in these markets.
The potential exists to extract further synergies from the Group`s different
UK operations. Management responsibility for Sanlam UK has accordingly been
transferred to the Institutional cluster under Johan van der Merwe to ensure
focussed management of the Group`s developed market exposure.
We are confident that the new management structure will contribute to enhanced
growth and value creation for all our stakeholders.
* Expand our customer base in South Africa through innovation in product
design and distribution mechanisms.
The restructuring of the South African retail business (as outlined above) is
an important step towards focussed management of changing client needs,
including the further development of innovative product solutions and
distribution channels. This will be a key focus for Sanlam Personal Finance.
Within the middle-income and affluent market segments, two new innovative
solutions were launched since the fourth quarter of 2010. The Cumulus single
premium savings solution was launched in 2011 to alleviate the impact of low
short-term interest rates on sales of the traditional guaranteed solutions.
Glacier also launched its international offering in October 2010. Both
products were well accepted in the market. The development of MiWay`s platform
for the direct distribution of life insurance solutions will add to the
Group`s distribution platforms.
Capital management
The Group held discretionary capital of R4 billion at the end of 2010. During
2011, R170 million was added to the pool from the disposal of Fundamo.
Utilisation of discretionary capital comprised of R944 million to acquire 34,8
million Sanlam shares in terms of the share buy-back programme, R71 million
for the acquisition of some 552 000 Santam shares, R31 million for the
establishment of our Nigerian life operations and R87 million for the
acquisition of Border Asset Management in the UK and other smaller
transactions. The net effect of these cash flows, allowance for illiquid
assets and investment return earned on the discretionary capital portfolio,
was to reduce the level of discretionary capital to R3,2 billion at 30 June
2011. Capital efficiency is a major strategic focus of the Group and any
discretionary capital that will not be used for corporate activity within a
reasonable timeframe will be returned to shareholders. The discretionary
capital at 30 June 2011 is substantially earmarked for corporate activity and
expansion of the Group`s footprint in Africa and India. Further share buy-
backs will also be considered in periods of share price weakness.
Looking ahead
Operating conditions are expected to remain difficult for the remainder of
2011. The economies of developed markets are likely to remain weak with
downside risk increasing significantly since the end of June. This elevates
the risk of a slowdown in demand for commodities, which will impact on growth
in the resource-based economies in which the Group operates. Volatility in
investment markets is commensurately also expected to remain, with global
markets sharply down since the end of June. The outlook for the remainder of
the 2011 financial year therefore remains cautious. Investment market
performance for the second half of the year will also impact on the level of
headline earnings growth to be reported for the full year.
Forward-looking statements
In this report we make certain statements that are not historical facts and
relate to analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results
not yet determinable, relating, amongst others, to new business volumes,
investment returns (including exchange rate fluctuations) and actuarial
assumptions. These statements may also relate to our future
prospects,developments and business strategies. These are forward-looking
statements as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe", "anticipate", "intend", "seek",
"will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are

not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Comments on the results
Introduction
The Sanlam Group results for the six months ended 30 June 2011 are presented
based on and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), as applicable. The basis of presentation and accounting policies are
consistent with those applied in the 2010 interim and annual report, apart
from the following:
* Further clarification has been obtained regarding the accounting treatment
of investments in associates since the release of the Group`s interim results
for 2010. IFRS contains an exemption to the equity-accounting of investments
in associates for those investments held in life insurance funds (i.e.
policyholders` funds). These investments can be recognised at fair value in
the statement of financial position. The Group`s general interpretation of
this exemption up to 30 June 2010 was that it only applied in instances where
all shares are held in the policyholders` fund.Where a portion of the
investment is held by the shareholders` fund, the full investment had to be
equity-accounted. The clarification referred to above, however, confirmed that
`split` accounting can be applied and that the policyholders` fund`s interest
can in all instances be recognised at fair value. This applies to the Group`s
interest in Vukile. The shareholders` fund`s investment is equity-accounted
whereas the interest held in the policyholders` fund is carried at fair value.
This split accounting now prevents the previous economic mismatch between
policy liabilities and policyholder assets. For the six months to 30 June
2010, a fund transfer of R100 million was recognised in respect of the Vukile
units held in the policyholders` fund as these holdings were also equity-
accounted. This fund transfer has been reversed in the comparative information
congruent to the change in clarification. A reallocation between equity-
accounted earnings and net investment return was also required in the IFRS
statement of comprehensive income. This change aligns the accounting policy
applied in the 2010 comparative period to that applied in the 2010 annual
report.
* The replacement of STC in South Africa with a withholding tax basis required
the elimination of STC as a future Sanlam cost in the valuation base. This
resulted in an increase in the future profitability of new life insurance
business written (VNB) as well as the in-force life insurance book (VIF).
Business environment
By their nature the Group`s operations are exposed to the volatility of
financial markets and economic conditions in general. The main features of the
business environment during the first six months of 2011 to take cognisance of
in evaluating the Group`s results are highlighted below.
Economic conditions
Economic growth in the main geographical regions in Africa and the United
Kingdom (UK) where the Group operates remained weak. Administered inflation
also continued to put pressure on disposable income of South African retail
clients.
Equity markets
The South African equity market delivered a lacklustre performance in the
first half of 2011, albeit a relative improvement on the first six months of
the 2010 financial year. The FTSE/JSE All Share and Swix Indices both closed
1% down on their 31 December 2010 levels. This compares to the respective 5,1%
and 3,5% declines in the first six months of 2010. The strong equity market
performance in the latter half of 2010, however, contributed to a 17% higher
average market level during the first six months of 2011, as compared to the
same period in 2010. This had a positive impact on the relative level of
assets under management in 2011 compared to 2010.
Interest rates
Long-term interest rates (9-year) increased by 30bps since 31 December 2010,
but are 50bps lower than 30 June 2010. Short-term interest rates declined
sharply in the latter half of 2010 and remained at these low levels during the
first six months of 2011. Compared to the first half of 2010, short-term
interest rates were on average 160bps (20%) lower in 2011.
Foreign currency exchange rates
The rand weakened against the major developed market currencies since December
2010, but continued to strengthen against the emerging market currencies to
which the Group has the largest exposure. However, the average rand exchange
rate for the first half of 2011 was stronger against all applicable currencies
compared to the first half of 2010, as reflected in the table below (negative
variances indicate a strengthening of the rand).

Group Equity Value (GEV)
GEV is the aggregate of the following components:
* The embedded value of covered business, being the life insurance businesses
of the Group, which comprises the required capital supporting these operations
and the net present value of their in-force books of business (VIF);
* The fair value of other Group operations based on longer term assumptions,
which includes the investment management, capital markets, credit, short-term
insurance and the non-covered wealth management operations of the Group; and
* The fair value of discretionary and other capital.
GEV provides an indication of the value of the Group`s operations, but without
placing any value on future new covered business to be written by the Group`s
life insurance businesses. Sustainable return on GEV is the primary
performance benchmark used by the Group in evaluating the success of its
strategy to maximise shareholder value.

The GEV per share increased by 2% from 2 818 cents at 31 December 2010 to 2
877 cents at 30 June 2011, after payment of a 115 cents per share dividend in
May 2011. The Sanlam share price traded at a 4% discount to GEV by close of
trading on 30 June 2011, with the discount widening somewhat since December
2010 in the volatile investment market conditions.
The Group operations have a significant exposure to investment markets, both
in respect of the shareholder capital portfolio that is invested in financial
instruments, as well as a significant portion of the fee income base that is
linked to the level of assets under management. The lacklustre investment
market performance during the first six months of 2011 had a marked negative
impact on the ROGEV for the period. After achieving a ROGEV per share of 9,1%
in 2010, an annualised ROGEV per share of 12,8% was recorded for the first
half of 2011. This was, however, impacted by the reversal of the STC allowance
in the value of in-force (VIF) of R1,2 billion (refer above). The adjusted
annualised ROGEV per share for the first half of 2011, which assumes long-term
investment return assumptions and excludes items not under management`s
control, was 12,6%, in excess of the return target.

Covered business yielded an annualised return of 21,4% compared to 8,2% in
2010. Excluding the reversal of STC, investment variances and economic
assumption changes, the ROGEV of covered business amounted to 15,5%, a solid
performance. Strong VNB growth and continued positive operating experience
variances supported the performance.
The valuations of the other Group operations were in general positively
impacted by a higher average level of assets under management, supporting
increased future profitability. The investment return earned on Santam and
SDM`s non-life operations, based on their listed share prices, reflects the
overall low market returns.

The performance of the individual clusters is discussed in further detail
below.
Normalised headline earnings
Normalised headline earnings of R2,2 billion are 33% higher than in 2010,
largely attributable to the 21% increase in the net result from financial
services and a 54% increase in net investment return. A strong six-month
performance from international equity markets, combined with the weakening of
the rand against developed market currencies during the first half of 2011,
contributed to a marked relative improvement in the investment return earned
on the Group`s capital portfolio. Despite delivering a weak performance in the
first half of 2011, the South African investment market also performed better
relative to the first six months of 2010. This supported the increase in net
investment return. Normalised headline earnings exclude the IFRS accounting
impact of investments in Sanlam shares and Group subsidiaries held by the
policyholders` fund. Including the effect of fund transfers recognised in
terms of IFRS in respect of these shares, headline earnings increased by 29%.
Business volumes
New business flows
New business volumes for the Group increased by 11% to R55 billion (up 10% to
R52 billion excluding white label business), a solid performance in a
difficult operating environment. The growth is supported by an 18% increase in
new life business and a 27% increase in South African retail investment
business. Net fund inflows reflect an exemplary 72% growth.

Value of new covered business
The value of new life business (VNB) written during the first six months of
2011 increased by 25% on 2010 to reach R401 million. After minorities, VNB
increased by 26% to R356 million. The replacement of Secondary Tax on
Companies (STC) in South Africa with a withholding tax basis, results in the
elimination of STC as a cost for Sanlam in the future. This increases the
future profitability of new business written and commensurately VNB. The
change in tax basis increased net VNB by R23 million for the first half of
2011.Excluding this, net VNB increased by a very pleasing 18% at overall
sustained margins.

Sanlam Personal Finance (SPF) recorded overall strong results for the first
six months of 2011.
SPF reported annualised ROGEV of 21,7% for 2011, compared to 11,6% for the
comparable period in 2010. Both covered and other operations contributed to
the performance. The covered business results were supported by the reversal
of STC from the VIF. Adjusted ROGEV for SPF, which excludes tax changes,
investment variances and economic assumption changes, amounts to 15,4%. The
return on other operations were positively impacted by an increase in the
valuation of Glacier and Sanlam Personal Loans, attributable to an increase in
the level of assets under management and the size of the loan book
respectively.
New business volumes increased by 7%. South African new business volumes
increased by 14%, the combined effect of a 13% increase in new life business
and a 15% increase in investment business sales. The low interest rate
environment continues to place pressure on demand for guarantee plan and
guaranteed annuity single premium business. The Group`s diversified solution
offering and product innovation, however, proved effective in offsetting the
low sales volumes of these traditional products. SPF launched its new Cumulus
product in 2011, which is less sensitive to interest rates. Glacier also
launched new offshore solutions in the last quarter of 2010. Market reaction
to these new solutions is very positive. Glacier`s living annuity solution is
also popular in the current low interest rate environment as it offers
investment choice and does not lock clients into current interest rates. This
contributed to 14% growth in South African single premiums. South African
recurring premiums grew by 10%, supported by strong demand for investment
products. Competitive market pricing impacted on risk business sales. The
Group remains prudent in its approach towards new business growth that does
not yield acceptable return. Namibian sales declined by 11%, largely due to a
decrease in unit trust sales from a high base in 2010 in a very competitive
environment.
The value of new covered business increased by 25% before removal of the
allowance for STC, driven by the increase in new life business volumes,
effective cost management and good growth in high margin credit life business.
New business margins increased in 2011, driven by these same factors.
Overall net fund flows increased by 11%, supported by a 55% increase in net
investment business flows. Net life business flows decreased by 18% due to
lower single premium sales of guaranteed solutions and an increase in the
value of benefit payments following higher average market levels in the first
half of 2011 compared to 2010.
The gross result from financial services increased by 18%. The individual life
business recorded growth in operating profit of 15%, attributable to higher
risk profits from improved claims experience and an increase in administration
profit following higher average assets under management. Sanlam Personal Loans
increased its contribution to operating profit by a healthy 46% on the back of
an increase in its book size and improved bad debt experience. Glacier also
reported a satisfactory 17% increase in profit, due to higher management fees
earned on the overall higher level of assets under management.

Sanlam Developing Markets (SDM) had an overall
satisfactory first half despite some temporary
disruption in the South African distribution
channels (given various steps to improve the
quality and retention of new business written)
and a strong rand exchange rate impacting
negatively on the rand-based results of the
Rest of Africa operations.
SDM`s annualised ROGEV for the period was
negatively impacted by low return on its listed
non-life operations in Botswana, in line with
general equity market performance. This was
compensated for by a 30,3% return on covered
business, supported by strong VNB, operating
experience variances and operating assumption
changes. Excluding tax changes, investment
variances and economic assumption changes, SDM
achieved an exemplary adjusted ROGEV of 24,9%.
New business volumes increased by 25%, with
strong growth from Africa supporting the
overall result. South African new business grew
by 4%, supported by group business, with
individual life recurring premiums declining on
2010. Strategic focus on the quality of
business written had, as expected, a temporary
negative impact on business volumes. This has
been addressed with stability returning to the
distribution channels. The positive impact of
the focus on quality is reflected in an
improvement in persistency. Rest of Africa
sales were supported by strong single premium
and credit life sales and grew by 55%.
Following the regulatory changes in India
towards the end of last year, we experienced
significant pressure on new recurring premium
sales. This was, however, offset by strong
growth in single premiums.
The value of new life business written,
increased by 12% before the reversal of the STC
allowance. Margins, before the positive STC
reversal impact, decreased marginally on 2010
largely due to the decrease in individual life
recurring premiums in South Africa.
SDM achieved a 62% increase in its gross result
from financial services. The South African
contribution increased threefold, due to lower
new business strain (attributable to the change
in business mix from individual life recurring
premiums to group business), improvements in
persistency and claims experience, further
synergies being extracted from the combined
South African business and increased release of
margins from the in-force book given the growth
in size of the book over the last number of
years. The Rest of Africa operations recorded a
5% decline in gross operating profit, with non-
life operations recording particularly good
growth. This was, however, offset by start-up
losses at new operations and the negative
impact of the stronger average rand exchange
rate.

The institutional cluster`s 10% annualised ROGEV
is the combined result of a very strong
performance by the Capital Management operations
and a relatively low return by Sanlam
Investments. The lacklustre investment market
performance during the first six months of 2011
resulted in marginal growth in Sanlam
Investments` assets under management since 31
December 2010, impacting directly on the
valuation, and hence return, of these
operations, which are valued based on assets
under management. The strong operating profit
performance of the Capital Management operations
reflects in the ROGEV achieved for the period.
Sanlam Employee Benefits` ROGEV continues to be
dampened by the relative size of required
capital held in respect of its covered business.
The Institutional cluster reported strong net
fund flows during the first half of the 2011
financial year. Operating profit growth was
supported by the Capital Management and Employee
Benefits businesses, with Sanlam Investments
recording a 9% decline in profitability.
New business volumes grew by 37% at Sanlam
Employee Benefits (SEB), with both recurring and
single premium business performing well. Sanlam
Umbrella Solutions achieved record sales and
increased its assets under management to some R6
billion. This contributed to a marked
improvement in SEB`s net fund flows, albeit
still negative. The value of new business and
new business margins also improved
commensurately. The retail investment businesses
had a strong six-month period, with Sanlam
Collective Investments recording exemplary net
inflows.
Gross result from financial services increased
by 18%. Sanlam Employee Benefits benefited from
a marked improvement in claims experience
compared to the same period in 2010. Good
progress is being made with the restructuring of
the administration business, despite still
contributing an operational loss. Sanlam Capital
Management recorded a 108% increase in operating
profit, with all business lines contributing to
the growth. The 2011 results includes profit
realised on a property financing transaction of
some R45 million, which will not recur. The
decline in Sanlam Investments` operating profit
is attributable to a reduction in performance
fees from R78 million in the first half of 2010
to R33 million in 2011 and a R20 million decline
in investment return earned on seeding capital
provided for some of the cluster`s hedge fund
portfolios. Excluding these, operating profit
increased by 16%, well in excess of the 11%
growth in average assets under management.
Performance fees were earned across the
business, with the overall decline attributable
to a lower contribution from SIM Global.
Volatility in performance fees earned by SIM
Global is expected given the specialist nature
of its investment portfolios.

Sanlam UK continues to operate in a very
challenging economic environment. After some
relief in the second half of 2010, market
volatility returned, combined with uncertainty
relating to the impact of the European debt
crisis. Growth prospects for the UK economy have
also been revised downwards, with consumers
starting to feel the impact of austerity
measures. Consumer sentiment commensurately
turned cautious again, setting the stage for a
much more difficult first half of 2011.
Sanlam UK recorded an annualised ROGEV of 20,0%,
supported by a weakening in the rand exchange
rate and an increase in the base valuations of
the non-life operations, particularly Principal
and Nucleus, following a substantial increase in
assets under management. The increase in assets
under management was driven by positive
investment market performance as well as strong
net fund inflows.
Sanlam UK achieved strong growth in comparable
new business volumes of 53% despite the
challenging business environment, with both life
and investment business supporting the growth.
Sanlam UK continues to deliver on its niche
strategy, which reflects in the new business
growth.
The decrease in operating profit is largely
attributable to positive economic assumption
changes in the first half of 2010, which did not
recur in 2011. Costs associated with expanding
distribution capacity also impacted on the
results. Excluding these, Sanlam UK`s operating
profit is in line with growth in assets under
management.

The favourable underwriting experience of 2010
continued into the first half of 2011. The
strategic focus on claims management is
reflected in the low claims ratio. Growth in net
earned premiums was below expectations, with
strong competition from the established direct
insurers and banks. With claims management
initiatives largely implemented, it affords
Santam the opportunity to shift focus to gaining
market share. Several initiatives are being
explored in the traditional intermediated
market. At the same time MiWay is continuing to
successfully build its direct distribution
capacity.
The ROGEV of the short-term insurance cluster
largely reflects the investment return earned on
the listed Santam shares, which under performed
in line with the South African equity market.
Solvency
All of the life insurance businesses within the
Group were sufficiently capitalised at the end
of June 2011. The total admissible regulatory
capital (including identified discretionary
capital) of Sanlam Life Insurance Limited, the
holding company of the Group`s major life
insurance subsidiaries, of R23,7 billion covered
its capital adequacy requirements (CAR) 3,2
times. No policyholder portfolio had a negative
bonus stabilisation reserve at the end of June
2011.
FitchRatings has affirmed the following ratings
of the Group in 2011 and the outlook remained
stable:
Sanlam Limited:

Interim financial statements
for the six months ended 30 June 2011
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounting policies adopted for purposes of
the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), specifically IAS 34 on interim financial
reporting, the AC 500 Standards as issued by the
Accounting Practices Board or its successor, and
with applicable legislation. The condensed
financial statements are presented in terms of
IAS 34, with additional disclosure where
applicable, using accounting policies consistent
with those applied in the 2010 financial
statements, apart from the changes indicated
below. The policy liabilities and profit
entitlement rules are determined in accordance
with prevailing legislation, generally accepted
actuarial practice and the stipulations
contained in the demutualisation proposal. There
have been no material changes in the financial
soundness valuation basis since 31 December
2010, apart from changes in the economic
assumptions.
The basis of preparation and presentation of the
shareholders` information is also consistent
with that applied in the 2010 financial
statements.
The preparation of the Group`s reviewed
consolidated interim results was supervised by
the financial director, Kobus Moller CA(SA).
Application of new and revised IFRSs and
interpretations
The following new or revised IFRSs and
interpretations are applied in the Group`s 2011
financial year:
* Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights
Issues (effective 1 February 2010)
* IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing Financial Liabilities
with Equity Instruments (effective 1 July 2010)
* IAS 24 revised - Related Party Disclosures
(effective 1 January 2011)
* Amendments to IFRIC 14- Prepayments of a
Minimum Funding Requirement (effective 1 January
2011)
* May 2010 Improvements to IFRS (mostly
effective 1 January 2011)
The application of these standards and
interpretations did not have a significant
impact on the Group`s financial position,
reported results and cash flows.
The following new or revised IFRSs and
interpretations have effective dates applicable
to future financial years and have not been
early adopted:
* Amendments to IFRS 1 - Severe hyperinflation
and removal of fixed dates for first-time
adopters (effective 1 July 2011)
* Amendment to IFRS 7 - Disclosures - Transfers
of Financial Assets (effective date 1 July 2011)
* Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred tax: Recovery
of underlying assets (effective 1 January 2012)
* IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements -
Amendment regarding presentation of other
comprehensive income (effective 1 July 2012)
* IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1
January 2013)
* IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
(effective 1 January 2013)
* IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective 1
January2013)
* IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other
Entities (effective 1 January2013)
* IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective 1
January 2013)
* IAS 19Employee Benefits - Amendment regarding
removal of corridor method and other
comprehensive income treatment (effective 1
January 2013)
* IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements - Consequential amendments resulting
from consolidation project (effective 1 January
2013)
* IAS 28 Investments in Associates -
Consequential amendments resulting from
consolidation project (effective 1 January 2013)
The application of these revised standards and
interpretations in future financial reporting
periods is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Group`s reported results,
financial position and cash flows.
Change in accounting policies
Further clarification has been obtained
regardingthe accounting treatment of investments
in associates since the release of the Group`s
interim results for 2010. IFRS contains an
exemption to the equity-accounting of
investments in associates for those investments
held in life insurance funds (i.e.
policyholders` funds). These investments can be
recognised at fair value in the statement of
financial position. The Group`s general
interpretation of this exemption up to 30 June
2010 was that it only applies in instances where
all shares are held in the policyholders`
fund.Where a portion of the investment is held
by the shareholders` fund, the full investment
had to be equity-accounted. The clarification
referred to above, however, confirmed that
`split` accounting can be applied and that the
policyholders` fund`s interest can in all
instances be recognised at fair value. This
applies to the Group`s interest in Vukile.The
shareholders` fund`s investment is equity-
accounted whereas the interest held in the
policyholders` fund is carried at fair value.
This split accounting prevents an economic
mismatch between policy liabilities and
policyholder assets. For the six months to 30
June 2010, a fund transfer was recognised in
respect of the Vukile units held in the
policyholders` fund as these holdings were also
equity-accounted. This fund transfer has been
reversed in the comparative information
congruent to the change in clarification. The
updated application was already applied in
respect of the 2010 year-end reporting.

3. Normalised earnings per share
In terms of IFRS, the policyholders` fund`s
investments in Sanlam shares and Group
subsidiaries are not reflected as equity
investments in the Sanlam statement of financial
position, but deducted in full from equity on
consolidation (in respect of Sanlam shares) or
reflected at net asset value (in respect of
subsidiaries). The valuation of the related
policy liabilities however includes the fair
value of these shares, resulting in a mismatch
between policy liabilities and policyholder
investments, with a consequential impact on the
Group`s earnings. The number of shares in issue
must also be reduced with the treasury shares
held by the policyholders` fund for the
calculation of IFRS basic and diluted earnings
per share. This is, in management`s view, not a
true representation of the earnings attributable
to the Group`s shareholders, specifically in
instances where the share prices and/or the
number of shares held by the policyholders` fund
varies significantly. The Group therefore
calculates normalised earnings per share to
eliminate the impact of investments in Sanlam
shares and Group subsidiaries held by the
policyholders` fund.

4. Share repurchases
The Sanlam shareholders granted general authorities to the
Group at the 2011 and 2010 annual general meetings to
repurchase Sanlam shares in the market. The Group
acquired 34,8 million shares from 22 February 2011 to 30
June 2011 in terms of the general authorities. The lowest
and highest prices paid were R26,57 and R27,85 per share
respectively. The total consideration paid of R944 million
was funded from existing cash resources. All repurchases
were effected through the JSE trading system without any
prior understanding or arrangement between the Group and
the counter parties. Authority to repurchase 412.1 million
shares, or 19,6% of Sanlam`s issued share capital at the
time, remain outstanding in terms of the general authority
granted at the annual general meeting held on 8 June 2011.
The financial effects of the share repurchases during 2011
on the IFRS earnings and net asset value per share are
illustrated in the table below. Tangible net asset value
excludes goodwill, value of business acquired, other
intangible assets and deferred acquisition cost included
in the shareholders` fund at net asset value.

9. Change in accounting policies
During 2010, Channel Life`s accounting policies
for insurance contracts were aligned with the
rest of the Sanlam Group. In terms of the
amended accounting policies, no negative rand
reserves are recognised on a individual policy
level. Channel Life`s capital and economic bases
have also been aligned with that of SDM Limited.
The full impact is recognised as a change to the
opening embedded value of covered business on 1
January 2010.

3. Change in accounting policies and
reclassifications
Further clarification has been obtained
regarding the accounting treatment of
investments in associates since the release of
the Group`s interim results for 2010. IFRS
contains an exemption to the equity-accounting
of investments in associates for those
investments held in life insurance funds (i.e.
policyholders` funds). These investments can be
recognised at fair value in the statement of
financial position. The Group`s general
interpretation of this exemption up to 30 June
2010 was that it only applies in instances where
all shares are held in the policyholders` fund.
Where a portion of the investment is held by the
shareholders` fund, the full investment had to
be equity-accounted. The clarification referred
to above, however, confirmed that `split`
accounting can be applied and that the
policyholders` fund`s interest can in all
instances be recognised at fair value. This
applies to the Group`s interest in Vukile. The
shareholders` fund`s investment is equity-
accounted whereas the interest held in the
policyholders` fund is carried at fair value.
This split accounting prevents an economic
mismatch between policy liabilities and
policyholder assets. For the six months to 30
June 2010, a fund transfer was recognised in
respect of the Vukile units held in the
policyholders` fund as these holdings were also
equity-accounted. This fund transfer has been
reversed in the comparative information
congruent to the change in clarification. The
updated application was already applied in
respect of the 2010 year-end reporting.
As reported in the 2010 annual financial
statements, following recent queries from SARS
and pursuant to the complete restructuring of
Santam`s investment portfolio in 2007 and 2008,
an additional provision was raised for income
tax relating to the potential under provisioning
for taxation on the net realised gains on traded
investments during the said periods.
Comparative information has been restated for
the change in accounting policy and under
provision of taxation as:
