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 at least 30 calendar days.
The minimum LCR requirement is 80% for 2017, increasing by 10% each year to 100% on 1 January 2019.

In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the South African 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.

Financial review
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in
the financial review relate to the six months ended 30 September 2016.

Salient operational features for the period under review include:

Total operating income before impairment losses on loans
and advances increased by 14.6% to R5 965 million
(2016: R5 204 million). The components of operating income are
analysed further below:
   
- Net interest income decreased 2.6% to R3 663 million
  (2016: R3 759 million) negatively impacted by additional
  subordinated debt issuance and an increase in the cost of foreign
  liabilities following the sovereign rating downgrade. Lending
  activity levels remained sound with core loans growing 6.5%
  since 31 March 2017.

- Net fee and commission income increased 21.3% to R1 084 million
  (2016: R894 million) supported by continued growth in the Private
  Banking client base as well as a good performance from the
  corporate treasury and corporate advisory businesses.

- Investment income increased significantly to R597 million
  (2016: R170 million) supported by a strong performance from
  the investment portfolio.

- Share of post taxation operating profit of associates of R382 million
  (2016: R172 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the
  group's investment in the IEP Group.
  
- Total trading income increased 14.4% amounting to R238 million
  (2016: R208 million).

Impairments on loans and advances increased from R322 million
to R373 million, with the credit loss ratio on average core loans
and advances amounting to 0.31% (2016: 0.30%), 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 amounted to
0.74% (31 March 2017: 1.03%). The ratio of collateral to
default loans (net of impairments) remains satisfactory at
2.19 times (31 March 2017: 1.66 times).

The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income
improved to 52.3% (2016: 55.6%). Total operating expenses
at R3 121 million were 7.8% higher than the prior period
(2016: R2 894 million) reflecting higher headcount costs across
the business to support increased activity and growth initiatives.

As a result of the foregoing factors profit before taxation and
acquired intangibles increased by 24.3% to R2 471 million
(2016: R1 988 million). Profit after taxation increased by 43.3%
to R2 309 million (2016: R1 611 million) impacted by a lower tax
rate following the release of provisions no longer required.

Accounting policies and disclosures
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standard, IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial
Reporting Guide as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee,
Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting
Standards Council, the Companies Act of South Africa and
JSE Listings Requirements.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results
for the six months ended 30 September 2017 are consistent
with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2017.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The following significant standards and interpretations, which
have been issued but are not yet effective, are applicable to
the group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
The group will adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on 1 April 2018.

The group expects that the recognition and measurement basis
of the majority of the group's financial assets will be largely
unchanged on application of IFRS 9, based on the analysis
performed to date.

The impairment requirements will lead to significant changes
in the accounting treatment for certain financial instruments
as a result of a shift from an incurred loss to an expected loss
impairment methodology. Credit risk methodologies have been
defined and model build has significantly been completed.
Approval, testing and validation of the models is ongoing.

IFRS 9 includes an accounting policy choice to remain with
IAS 39 hedge accounting. The group intends to continue
applying IAS 39's hedge accounting.

The classification and measurement and impairment
requirements are applied retrospectively by adjusting the
opening balance sheet at the date of initial application, with no
requirement to restate comparative periods. The group does not
intend to restate comparatives.

The regulatory capital impact of IFRS 9 has been proposed by
regulatory bodies with transitional capital arrangements being
announced for 1 January 2018 which would allow a phase in of
the Day 1 capital impact over a number of years.

It will not be practical to disclose reliable financial impact
estimates until the implementation programme and validation
and testing is further advanced.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The group's current measurement and recognition principles
are aligned to the standard and the group does not expect an
impact to measurement principles currently applied. The impact
of the disclosure requirements of the standard is currently being
assessed.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared under the supervision of Nishlan Samujh, the Group
Chief Financial Officer. The interim financial statements for the six

Review conclusion
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for
the period ended 30 September 2017 have been reviewed
by KPMG Inc. and Ernst & Young Inc., who expressed an
unmodified review conclusion. A copy of the auditors' review
report is available for inspection at the company's registered
office together with the financial statements identified in the
auditors' report.

The auditors' report does not necessarily report on all of the
information contained in these financial results. Shareholders
are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding
of the nature of the auditors' engagement, they should obtain
a copy of the auditor's report together with the accompanying
financial information from the issuer's registered office.

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

For the period ended 30 September 2017, R105.6 million has been transferred from level 3 into level 2 as a result of the inputs to the valuation
methods becoming observable in the market due to a selling price becoming available.

The following table quantifies the losses included in the income statement recognised on level 3 financial instruments:

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 investment 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:

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

Property value and precious and industrial metal prices
Property value and the price of precious and industrial metals is a key driver of future cash flows on these investments.
