     Notes and assumptions:
     1.    The amounts set out in the “Before” column have been extracted, without adjustment, from the audited consolidated
           financial statements of Resilient for the six months ended 30 June 2013.                                                                                                                                
     2.    Resilient subscribed for 22 388 060 Rockcastle shares for an aggregate subscription price of R298.16 million, in terms
           of the Rockcastle placement referred to above, and subscribed for 23 075 000 Rockcastle shares for an aggregate
           subscription price of R299.98 million, in terms of the Rockcastle placement announced on SENS on 4 October 2013.
     3.    Both of the above subscriptions for Rockcastle shares are assumed to have been implemented on 1 January 2013 for the
           statement of comprehensive income purposes.
     4.    The aggregate investment of R598.14 million is assumed to have been funded through third party interest-bearing debt
           at a historic weighted average cost of debt of 8.24% in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2013.
     5.    The acquisition of the 45 463 060 Rockcastle shares by Resilient resulted in a change in the accounting treatment of
           Rockcastle from an investment designated at fair value to being equity accounted as an investment in an associate.
     6.    The change in the accounting treatment resulted in a reversal in the fair value gain on the investment of R112.8 million
           and the recognition of a non-distributable loss from an associate of R4.9 million. A dividend receivable of R17.9
           million was recognised based on Rockcastle’s distribution for the six months ended 30 June 2013 of 39.424 ZAR cents
           per share.
     7.    All statement of comprehensive income adjustments have a continuing effect.
