Commentary
Overview of results
Investec Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Investec Limited, posted a decrease in headline earnings attributable to ordinary
shareholders of 18.1% to R779 million (2011: R951 million). The balance sheet remains strong with a capital adequacy
ratio of 16.9% (31 March 2012: 16.1%). For full information on the Investec Group results, refer to the combined results of
Investec plc and Investec Limited or the group's website http://www.investec.com

Financial review
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in the financial review relate to the six months ended
30 September 2011. Operating profit is before taxation and headline adjustments.

Salient operational features of the period under review include:

-  Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances decreased by 3.8% to R3,065 million (2011:
   R3,185 million). The components of operating income are analysed further below:
   -  Net interest income increased by 6.7% to R2,394 million (2011: R2,244 million) largely as a result of improved
      margins and a sound performance from the bank's fixed income portfolio, partially offset by higher costs on
      subordinated liabilities.
   -  Net fee and commission income decreased 30.4% to R435 million (2011: R625 million) and customer flow trading
      income decreased 66.9% to R45 million (2011: R136 million) as a result of lower activity in the corporate and
      institutional banking businesses.
   -  Investment income decreased by 84.0% to R15 million (2011: R94 million) largely due to a weaker performance
      from the bank's principal investments portfolio.
   -  Trading income arising from other trading activities increased significantly to R175 million (2011: R86 million) reflecting
      improved activity on the balance sheet management desk.
-  Impairments on loans and advances increased from R357 million to R403 million. Default loans remained in line with
   31 March 2012, with an improvement reported in the private client business offset by some corporate loans defaulting
   in the period. The credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross loans and advances has improved from 0.69%
   at 31 March 2012 to 0.62%. The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral into
   account) to core loans and advances amounts to 2.49% (31 March 2012: 2.79%). The ratio of collateral to default loans
   (net of impairments) remains satisfactory at 1.58 times (31 March 2012: 1.68 times).
-  The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income amounts to 54.2% (2011: 52.3%). Total operating expenses
   at R1,660 million were in line with the prior period.
-  As a result of the foregoing factors profit before taxation decreased by 13.7% to R1,002 million (2011: R1,161 million).

Accounting policies and disclosures
These reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared in terms of the recognition and
measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, the presentation and disclosure requirements of
IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 Standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board and the Companies
Act 71 of 2008.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the period ended 30 September 2012 are consistent
with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012. The financial results have been prepared
under the supervision of Glynn Burger, the Group Risk and Finance Director.

The financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2012 will be posted to stakeholders on 30 November 2012.
These accounts will be available on the group's website at the same date.

Restatements
Consistent with the year ended 31 March 2012, the Investec group has positioned its strategic disclosures around three
core business areas namely, Asset Management, Wealth & Investment and Specialist Banking. In some respects the group
believes that it has historically overcomplicated its external disclosures by elaborating on six core areas of business. As
you would have already seen in the group's recent presentations, all the banking businesses have been combined under
one broader umbrella of Specialist Banking. As a result the group has chosen to refine some of its disclosures, which
have impacted the disclosures for Investec Bank Limited, and are explained further below. The group believes that these
refinements provide greater clarity on the key income and balance sheet drivers of its business.

Consolidated income statement
Consistent with the year ended 31 March 2012, the previously reported principal transaction income line item has been
split into the following line items:

-  Investment income: income, other than net interest, from securities held for the purpose of generating interest yield,
   dividends and capital appreciation.
-  Customer flow trading income: income from trading activities arising from facilitating customer activities.
-  Income from balance sheet management and other trading activities: includes proprietary trading income and other
   gains and losses as well as income earned from the balance sheet management desk.

Consolidated balance sheet
The main driver behind the revision to the balance sheet is to enable a better understanding of Investec's exposures and
to minimise the number of reconciliation items to the detailed risk disclosures on the website. It is noted that there are no
measurement changes nor are there any changes to total assets, liabilities, and equity and the cash flow statement.
Each category of reclassification is noted below, and is consistent with the presentation at 31 March 2012:

-  Cash equivalent corporate paper
   Cash equivalent advances to customers has been renamed to "non-sovereign, non-bank cash placements". These
   balances represent short-term placements in corporates that run an in-house treasury function.

-  Loans and securitisation
   To better align the balance sheet with the bank's risk management disclosures, loans and advances and securitised
   assets that form part of our "core" lending activities have been separated from assets that are in warehoused facilities
   and structured credit investments arising out of our securitisation and principal finance activities. This has resulted in
   a need to split loans and advances and securitised assets into two balance sheet categories for each. Securitised
   liabilities has been split into two line items to enable the relationship with securitised assets to be clearly identified.

-  Securities reclassification
   The bank's previous balance sheet split securities (other than lending-related) into two key line items being trading
   and investment securities. This classification was driven by the accounting rule sets that mainly distinguish between
   instruments fair valued through profit or loss, those carried at amortised cost (held to maturity) and those fair
   valued through equity (available-for-sale). The bank is of the view that disclosure of the nature of exposures on the
   balance sheet, distinguishing between instruments held to manage balance sheet liquidity, as principal exposure and
   balance sheet instruments arising from trading desk activities provides more meaningful disclosure on the face of
   the balance sheet. The line item "securities arising from trading activities" includes all instruments (other than derivative
   instruments) that are held on balance sheet in relation to trading activities.

                                                                            Cash       Loans

Commentary on line of business segmental reclassifications
The Investec Group previously reported segmental disclosures by six core business lines as well as including a segment for
the group's central functions. The group is now disclosing its segmental disclosures in three core business lines, namely,
Asset Management, Wealth & Investment and Specialist Banking. In this regard:

-  The income statement format has been revised as discussed above.
-  To align with the information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Private Banking, Investment Banking,
   Capital Markets and Group Services and Other divisions have now been grouped under one banner and collectively
   referred to as Specialist Banking for Investec Bank Limited.
-  Accordingly no additional disclosures have been provided regarding the segmental results as the bank only has one
   segment. Significant information was provided in the income statement and balance sheet for this segment. The total
   operating profit has, however, not changed from that which was previously reported.
