Liquidity coverage ratio disclosure
The objective of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks by ensuring that they have sufficient
high quality liquid assets to survive a significant stress scenario lasting 30 calendar days. The LCR was phased in at 60% on 1 January 2015, and will increase
by 10% each year to 100% on 1 January 2019.

In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the Banks Act 1990 (Act No. 94 of 1990), banks are directed to comply with the relevant LCR disclosure
requirements, as set out in Directive 6/2014 and Directive 11/2014. This disclosure is in accordance with Pillar 3 of the Basel III liquidity accord.

The following table sets out the LCR for the group and bank:

                                                                        Investec Bank Limited    Investec Bank Limited

Commentary
These reviewed year-end condensed consolidated financial results are
published to provide information to holders of Investec Bank Limited's listed
non-redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating preference shares.

Overview of results
Investec Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Investec Limited, posted a decrease
in headline earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of 11.0% to
R3,069 million (2016: R3,449 million). Operating fundamentals were
supported by sound levels of corporate and private client activity. Results
were impacted by the change in accounting treatment from fair value to
equity accounting for the assets transferred to Investec Equity Partners in
the prior year (refer to additional information). Excluding the impact of this
transaction operating profit was considerably ahead of the prior period.
The balance sheet remains sound with a capital adequacy ratio of 15.4%
(31 March 2016: 14.6%). For full information on the Investec Group results,
refer to the combined results of Investec plc and Investec Limited or the
group's website https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/2eamB8IbEYmaH3.

Financial review
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in the
financial review relate to the year ended 31 March 2016.

Salient operational features for the year under review include:

Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances
increased by 3.5% to R10,754 million (2016: R10,388 million). The
components of operating income are analysed further below:

- Net interest income increased 10.5% to R7,419 million (2016: R6,712 million)
  driven by sound levels of lending activity.
- Net fee and commission income increased 15.0% to R1,999 million
  (2016: R1,738 million) as a result of a sound performance from the private
  banking, corporate lending, corporate treasury and import solutions
  businesses.
- Investment income decreased significantly to R472 million 
  (2016: R1,356 million) impacted by the change in accounting treatment from
  fair value to equity accounting for the assets transferred to Investec
  Equity Partners.
- Share of post-taxation operating profit of associates of R306 million
  in the current period largely reflects earnings in relation to the group's
  investment in Investec Equity Partners.
- Total trading income decreased 5.9% to R556 million (2016: R591 million)
  largely due to foreign currency translation impacts, while corporate
  customer flow trading income increased supported by client activity levels
  and market volatility.

Impairments on loans and advances increased from R517 million to R657 million,
with the credit loss ratio on average core loans and advances amounting to
0.29% (31 March 2016: 0.26%), remaining at the lower end of its long-term
average trend. The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but before
taking collateral into account) to core loans and advances amounts to 1.03%
(2016: 1.06%). The ratio of collateral to default loans (net of impairments)
remains satisfactory at 1.81 times (2016: 1.61 times).

The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income amounts to
54.7% (2016: 53.3%). Total operating expenses at R5,887 million were 6.3%
higher than the prior year (2016: R5,537 million) reflecting higher headcount
and IT infrastructure costs across the business to support increased activity
and growth initiatives; partially offset by costs incurred with respect to the
Investec Equity Partners transaction not repeated in the current year.

As a result of the foregoing factors operating profit before acquired
intangibles decreased by 2.9% to R4,210 million (2016: R4,334 million).

Additional information - Investec Equity Partners
In South Africa an investment vehicle, Investec Equity Partners, was
created on 11 January 2016 in which Investec holds a 45% stake alongside
other strategic investors who hold the remaining 55%. Investec Principal
Investments transferred certain portfolio investments to the value of
R5.8 billion to Investec Equity Partners. In exchange Investec received
R0.7 billion in cash and 45% of the shares in Investec Equity Partners
(R5.1 billion), reflected as an associate on the balance sheet. Since the date
of the transaction Investec has applied the equity accounting method to
account for its investment in the new vehicle as opposed to the fair value
accounting method previously applied to the underlying investments held.

Restatements
The group had erroneously offset an amount of loans payable to group
companies against loans receivable from group companies in the line item
"Loans to group companies" included in assets. The presentation has been
amended in the current reporting period. To assist comparability, comparative

statements, disclosure of loans to and from group companies was provided
in the "Loans to group companies" note of the annual financial statements.

Financial instruments carried at fair value
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into
different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The different levels are identified as follows:

Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
          (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

                                                                                                Fair value category

Sensitivity of fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by level 3 instrument type
The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable
market data. The following table shows the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions, determined at a transactional level:

* The EBITDA has been stressed on an investment-by-investment basis in order to obtain favourable and unfavourable valuations.
**  The valuation sensitivity for certain equity investments has been assessed by adjusting various inputs such as expected cash flows, 
discount rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect the outcome on a portfolio basis 
for the purpose of this analysis as the sensitivity of the investments cannot be determined through the adjustment of a single input.

In determining the value of level 3 financial instruments, the following is a principal input that can require judgement:

Price-earnings multiple
The price-to-earnings ratio is an equity valuation multiple. It is a key driver in the valuation of unlisted investments.

EBITDA
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. This is the main input into a price earnings multiple valuation method.

Precious and industrial metals
The price of precious and industrial metals is a key driver of future cash flows on these investments.
