Reporting changes
to Barclays Africa Group Limited’s comparatives
Changes to Barclays Africa Group Limited’s reported results for comparative periods driven primarily by the 
acquisition of the Barclays Africa subsidiaries
                                                                                                                      
  
Overview of reporting changes

This document provides users of Barclays Africa Group Limited (“the Group” or “BAGL”) consolidated financial
statements with advance information regarding financial reporting changes that will impact the results of the
comparative reporting periods to be disclosed alongside the Group’s results for the reporting period ending 31
December 2013.
The financial reporting changes are driven by:
1. The acquisition of 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of Barclays Africa Limited (“BAL”),
   previously a fellow subsidiary of BAGL, with a shared parent company Barclays Bank Plc. The Group accounted 
   for this transaction in accordance with the Group’s and Barclays Group’s accounting policy in respect of 
   business combinations under common control, which resulted in the restatement of the financial performance 
   of comparative reporting periods. 
2. Certain changes in internal accounting policies.
3. Business portfolio changes between operating segments. 

These changes are over and above the reporting changes set out in the Reporting Changes document released on
18 July 2013. All references to previously reported amounts relate to the restated amounts published in that
document.

Note that this document does not provide an update on the current performance of the Group or performance of
the BAL entities. Its purpose is to provide users of the Group’s financial statements with the new baseline
information for the comparative reporting periods that will be incorporated with the financial results for the
reporting period ending 31 December 2013, in advance of publishing the results in February 2014. It further
includes the new baseline information for the interim reporting period ended 30 June 2013.

The impact of the BAL acquisition on the Group’s restated comparative information differs from pro forma
information provided by the Group in the JSE SENS announcement on 13 February 2013 titled ‘Barclays transaction
update’. The pro forma information contained in the SENS followed the JSE rules on disclosure of pro forma
information, whereas the Group’s comparative information has been restated in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 

1. Acquisition of Barclays Africa Limited
In 2012, Absa Group Limited announced its intention to conclude the strategic combination of Barclays’ Africa
operations with the existing Absa Group operations. 

Through the transaction, Absa Group Limited acquired 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of BAL, which
was settled by the issuance of 129 540 636 Absa Group Limited ordinary shares. This increased Barclays Bank
Plc’s shareholding in the Group from 55,5% to 62,3%. This transaction concluded on 31 July 2013 and was
accompanied by the name change of Absa Group Limited to Barclays Africa Group Limited.

BAL holds 100% of the issued share capital of Barclays Bank of Ghana Limited, Barclays Bank Mauritius
Limited, Barclays Bank of Tanzania Limited, Barclays Bank Zambia Plc, Barclays Bank of Uganda Limited and Barclays
Africa Regional Office Proprietary Limited. It is also the majority shareholder of Barclays Bank of Botswana
Limited, Barclays Bank of Kenya Limited and Barclays Bank (Seychelles) Limited. The number of shares held by the
non-controlling shareholders of Barclays Bank (Seychelles) Limited, Barclays Bank of Kenya Limited as well as
Barclays Bank of Botswana Limited, together with the listings of the latter two entities, were not affected
by the transaction.

The transaction is a business combination of entities under common control as defined in International
Financial Reporting Standard 3: Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”). The Group elected, in accordance with the IFRS
framework and the Group’s and Barclays Group’s accounting policies, to account for the transaction in terms of
predecessor accounting principles. These principles broadly require:
- the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities to be recognised at their carrying values as
  previously reported at the highest level of consolidation in the group, in this case Barclays Group;
- no fair value adjustments to be made to the assets and liabilities of the acquiree, in this case BAL, and
  no additional goodwill, other than existing goodwill within BAL, to be recognised on conclusion of the
  transaction in the new combined group; 
- the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the net asset value of the acquired
  entity to be recognised as an adjustment directly to equity; and
- the restatement of comparative periods presented as if the new combined group always existed in its
  current form.

Accordingly, the Group's comparative financial results have been restated as if BAL was always part of the
Group’s structure. This also includes a pro forma restatement of the Group’s key ratios, presenting the shares 
issued in the current reporting period as if they were always in issue.

The value of the shares issued (including R90 million duties paid in cash) was R18 420 million while the net asset
value acquired at the closing date of the transaction on 31 July 2013 was R12 523 million. The excess of the purchase
price over net asset value is accounted for in share premium.

Note
(1) The restated net asset value on 30 June 2013 was R12 310 million. 


2. Internal accounting policy changes
The Group elected to make internal accounting policy changes in 2013. The changes, set out below, are
relatively minor, involving classification of items between income statement lines and have no impact on the net
earnings of the Group. To ensure comparability, the comparative reporting periods have been restated.
 
   2.1. The Group changed its accounting policy for certain ‘association costs’, defined as costs incurred
   through the Group’s association with leading inter-change agents. This was done to achieve better alignment to
   Barclays Group’s internal accounting policies. The change resulted in a reclassification of certain costs from
   ‘operating expenses’ to ‘net fee and commission income’.
   2.2. The Group elected to amend the disclosure of rental income from investment properties held in one of
   the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. This change resulted in a grossing up of income recognised in ‘other
   operating income’ and an equal movement in ‘operating expenses’.

   
3. Business portfolio changes
Operational changes, including movements of underlying business lines, management changes and associated
changes to the way in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker views the performance of each business segment 
have resulted in the reallocation of earnings between operating segments. These changes had no impact on the 
Group's net earnings.
