(1) Investments to the amount of R315m were reclassified from investment securities to investments in private-equity associates, associate companies 
and joint arrangements to align better with industry practice. June 2013 comparatives have been restated accordingly. No adjustments to the carrying 
value of the financial instruments arose as a result of the reclassification. Furthermore, no changes were made to the categorisation of the financial 
instruments and they remain classified as designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair-value hierarchy

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the 
transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Underlying the 
definition of fair value is a presumption that an entity is a going concern without any intention or need to liquidate, 
to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. Fair value is not, therefore, the
amount that an entity would receive or pay in a forced transaction, involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.

The existence of published price quotations in an active market is the most reliable evidence of fair value and, where they exist, they are used to measure the financial asset
or financial liability. A market is considered to be active if transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
These quoted prices would generally be classified as level 1 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy.

Where a quoted price does not represent fair value at the measurement date or where the market for a financial instrument is not active, the group establishes fair 
value by using a valuation technique. These valuation techniques include, but are not limited to, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is 
substantially the same in nature, reference to the value of the assets of underlying business, earnings multiples, discounted cashflow analysis, and
various option pricing models. Valuation techniques applied by the group would generally be classified as level 2 or level 3 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy. 
The determination of whether an instrument is classified as level 2 or level 3 is dependent on the significance of observable inputs versus unobservable inputs in 
relation to the fair value of the instrument. Inputs typically used in valuation techniques include discount rates, appropriate swap rates, volatility,
servicing costs, equity prices, commodity prices, counterparty credit risk, and the group's own credit on financial liabilities.

The group has an established control framework for the measurement of fair value, which includes formalised review protocols for the independent review and validation of 
fair values separate from the business unit entering into the transaction. The valuation methodologies, techniques and inputs applied to the fair-value measurement of the 
financial instruments have been applied in a manner consistent with that of the previous financial year (see
nedbankgroup.co.za).

FAIR-VALUE HIERARCHY

The financial instruments recognised at fair value have been categorised into the three input levels of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) fair-value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Valuation techniques based on (directly or indirectly) market-observable inputs. Various factors influence the availability of observable inputs. 
These factors may vary from product to product and change over time. Factors include the depth of activity in the relevant market, the type of product, whether 
the product is new and not widely traded in the market, the maturity of market modelling and the nature of the transaction (bespoke or generic).

Level 3: Valuation techniques based on significant inputs that are not observable. To the extent that a valuation is based on inputs that are not market-observable, 
the determination of the fair value can be more subjective, depending on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall valuation. Unobservable inputs are 
determined on the basis of the best information available and may include reference to similar instruments, similar maturities, appropriate
proxies or other analytical techniques.

All fair values disclosed below are recurring in nature.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE ASSUMPTIONS TO REASONABLE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES - LEVEL 3 INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments is, under certain circumstances, measured by means of valuation techniques based on assumptions that are not 
market-observable. Where these scenarios apply, the group performs stress testing on the fair value of the relevant instruments. In stress testing, 
appropriate levels are chosen for the unobservable input parameters so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and in line with the 
group's approach to
valuation control.


The sensitivity of the fair-value measurement is dependent on the unobservable inputs. Significant changes to the unobservable inputs in isolation will 
have either a positive or a negative impact on the fair value. The following information is intended to illustrate the potential impact of the relative 
uncertainty in the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of which depends on unobservable input parameters. However, it is unlikely in 
practice that all unobservable parameters would simultaneously be at the extremes of their ranges of reasonably possible alternatives. Furthermore, 
the disclosure is neither predictive nor indicative of future movements in fair value.

(1) Represents amounts less than R1m.

(2) Investments to the amount of R315m were reclassified from investment securities to investments in private-equity associates, associate companies
 and joint arrangements to align better with industry practice. June 2013 comparatives have been restated accordingly. No adjustments to the
 carrying value of the financial instruments arose as a result of the reclassification. Furthermore, no changes were made to the categorisation
 of the financial instruments and they remain classified as designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the table below sets out the impact of:
- recognised financial instruments that are set off in the statement of financial position in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation; and
- financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments and transactions that did not qualify for
presentation on a net basis.

The group reports financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis in the statement of financial position only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the 
recognised amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Certain master netting arrangements may not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position because:
- these agreements create a right of setoff that is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy; and
- the group and its counterparties do not intend to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Master netting arrangements and similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements.

Similar financial instruments include derivatives, sales and repurchase agreements, reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending agreements. Financial instruments
such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the table below unless they are offset in the statement of financial position.
