Forward-looking statements

This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition and results of
operations of Nedbank and its companies, which, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to
events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include global, national and regional economic
conditions; levels of securities markets; interest rates; credit or other risks of lending and investment activities; as
well as competitive and regulatory factors. By consequence, all forward-looking statements have not been reviewed or
reported on by the group's auditors.

(1) During 2018 a detailed review was performed on offsetting, which indicated that at 31 December 2017 an asset of R6 107m (June 2017: R3 473m) was incorrectly set
    off against a liability with the same counterparty. To correct this at 31 December 2017 loans and advances and amounts owed to depositors were restated by 
    R6 107m (June 2017: R3 473m). This restatement had no impact on information on previously reported for Nedbank Group.     
(2) During the period the group reviewed the classification of certain investments on the statement of financial position. As a result of this review the group's
    private-equity investments have been reclassified from investments in private-equity associates, associate companies and joint arrangements to investment
    securities better to reflect the measurement of these investments at fair value. To provide comparability the prior-period balances have been restated
    accordingly (30 June 2017: R2 549m; 31 December 2017: R3 053m). The investments in private-equity associates, associate companies and joint arrangements were
    renamed investments in associate companies.

Significant accounting policies

Change in accounting policies: Financial instruments

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) was issued in July 2014 and has replaced IAS 39: Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). The standard was effective and was implemented by the group from 1 January 2018.
This standard incorporates amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments [see part (ii)],
hedge accounting guidance and the accounting requirements for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortised
cost and fair value through OCI [see part (iii)]. The group has elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting
requirements of IAS 39 on adoption of IFRS 9.   

For notes disclosures the consequential amendments to IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures have also been applied
only to the current period. Notes disclosures for the comparative period repeat those disclosures made in the previous
year. Set out below are disclosures relating to the impact  of the adoption of IFRS 9 on the group. 

The group's approach to transition is discussed and the resultant net impact on opening reserves on 1 January 2018 is
provided in part (i).

(i) Transition

As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the group has elected not to restate comparative figures. Any
adjustments to the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at the date of transition have been
recognised in the opening retained earnings and other reserves at 1 January 2018. The following table illustrates the
impact on opening reserves on transition to IFRS 9. Further information relating to this impact is provided in part (ii)
and part (iii).

(ii) Classification and measurement 

Financial assets are classified based on:

- the business model within which the financial assets are held and managed; and

- the contractual cashflow characteristics of the financial assets, ie whether the cashflows represent 'solely payments of
  principal and interest'.

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model of which the objective is to
hold those assets for the purpose of collecting contractual cashflows and those cashflows comprise solely payments of
principal and interest (ie 'hold to collect' business model).

Financial assets are measured at FVOCI if they are held within a business model of which the objective is achieved by
both collecting contractual cashflows and selling financial assets, and those contractual cashflows comprise solely
payments of principal and interest (ie 'hold to collect and sell' business model). Movements in the carrying amount of
these financial assets are taken through OCI, except for impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign
exchange gains or losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the financial asset is derecognised, the
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The remaining financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). All derivative instruments
that are either financial assets or financial liabilities will continue to be classified as held for trading and
measured at FVTPL. 

For equity investments that are held neither for trading nor for contingent consideration the group may irrevocably
elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of these equity investments in OCI. Where the equity investment is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or
loss. However, it may be reclassified in equity. Alternatively, where the group does not make the abovementioned
election, fair-value changes are recognised in profit or loss. This election is made on an investment-by-investment
basis. On initial recognition the group may irrevocably designate a financial asset otherwise meeting the requirements
for measurement at amortised cost or FVOCI, as FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting
mismatch that would otherwise arise.

The accounting for financial liabilities is largely unchanged, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL.
Changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities that are attributable to the group's own credit risk are
recognised in OCI. Where the financial liability is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in
OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. However, it may be reclassified in equity.

On the initial application of IFRS 9 an entity may revoke its previous designation of financial assets and financial
liabilities measured at FVTPL (fair-value option), with the loans being reclassified in amortised cost or FVOCI,
depending on the entity's business model for the asset.

(1) Macro fair-value hedge accounting solution - Nedbank has adopted a macro fair-value hedge accounting solution that accounts for changes in the fair value of
    interest rate risk.
(2) Held for distribution (FVOCI) - In light of the business model requirements certain instruments have been reclassified from amortised cost to FVOCI.
(3) Held for sale (FVTPL) - In light of the business model requirements certain instruments have been reclassified from amortised cost to FVTPL.

On initial application of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 the group elected to revoke the existing designation of R58bn of
loans classified in FVTPL and R60bn of amounts due to depositors classified at FVTPL under the fair-value option of IAS
39, and reclassified the underlying assets and liabilities in amortised cost.

(iii) Impairments

Impairments in terms of IFRS 9 are determined based on an ECL model, as opposed to an incurred loss model in terms of
IAS 39. The ECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost and debt instruments at FVOCI, lease
receivables and certain loan commitments as well as financial guarantee contracts.

Under IFRS 9 loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:

- twelve-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting
  date; and

- lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
  instrument.

The group is required to recognise an allowance for either 12-month or lifetime ECLs, depending on whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition. Indicators of a SICR in the retail
portfolio may include any of the following: 

- Short-term forbearance.

- Direct debit cancellation. 

- Extension to the terms granted.

- Previous arrears within the past months.

Indicators of a significant increase in credit risk in the wholesale portfolio may include any of the following: 

- Significant increase in the credit spread.

- Significant adverse changes in business, financial and/or economic conditions in which the client operates.

- Actual or expected forbearance or restructuring. 

- Significant change in collateral value.

- Early signs of liquidity and cashflow problems, such as a delay in the servicing of trade creditors/loans. 

Measurement of ECLs

The measurement of ECLs reflects a probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and the entity's best available
forward-looking information. The abovementioned probability-weighted outcome considers the possibility of a credit loss
occurring and the possibility of no credit loss occurring, even if the possibility of a credit loss occurring is low.
Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (ie the difference between the cashflows due to
the entity in accordance with the contract and the cashflows that the group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at
the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

The assessment of the ECL of a financial asset or portfolio of financial assets entails estimations of the likelihood of
defaults occurring and of default correlations between counterparties. The group measures ECL using probability of
default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD). These three components are multiplied together and
adjusted for the likelihood of default. The calculated ECL is then discounted using the original effective interest rate
of the financial asset.

The assessment of SICR and the calculation of ECL both incorporate forward-looking information. The group has performed
historical analyses and identified the key economic variables impacting credit risk and ECL for each portfolio. These
economic variables and their associated impact on the PD, EAD and LGD vary by financial instrument. The group's
economics unit provides a forecast of economic variables and an overview of the economy quarterly or more often if
necessary. Significant judgement and estimates are applied in this process of incorporating forward-looking information
into the SICR assessment and ECL calculation.

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting date the group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at
FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact
on the estimated future cashflows of the financial asset have occurred.  The group's definition of credit-impaired is
aligned to our internal definition of default.

Presentation of impairment

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the
assets, and the amortised cost is presented on the face of the statement of financial position.

For debt securities at FVOCI the loss allowance is recognised in OCI, instead of reducing the carrying amount of the
asset. 

For off-balance-sheet exposures, such as financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowance is presented in 'Provisions
and other liabilities' on the face of the statement of financial position.

opening impairment allowances in terms of IFRS 9:

(1) Revenue is calculated as net interest income plus non-interest revenue.
(2) During 2018 a detailed review was performed on offsetting, which indicated that at 31 December 2017 an asset of R6 107m (June 2017: R3 473m) was incorrectly set
    off against a liability with the same counterparty. To correct this at 31 December 2017 loans and advances and amounts owed to depositors were restated by R6
    107m (June 2017: R3 473m).

The group, in the ordinary course of business, enters into transactions that expose it to tax, legal and business risks.
Provisions are made for known liabilities that are expected to materialise. Possible obligations and known liabilities
where no reliable estimate can be made or it is considered improbable that an outflow would result are reported as
contingent liabilities. This is in accordance with IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

There are a number of legal or potential claims against Nedbank Limited and its subsidiary companies, the outcome of
which cannot be foreseen at present.

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 an assumption 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 volumes and frequencies 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 valuation techniques. 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, a 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 those of 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.

FAIR-VALUE HIERARCHY

The financial instruments recognised at fair value have been categorised into the three input levels of the 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 (directly or indirectly) on 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, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that include
assumptions that are not market-observable.  Where these scenarios apply, the group performs stress testing on the fair
value of the relevant instruments.  When performing the stress testing, appropriate levels for the unobservable-input
parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and in line with the group's approach
to valuation control. The following information is intended to illustrate the potential impact of the relative
uncertainty in the fair value of financial instruments for which valuation is dependent on unobservable-input parameters
and which are classified as level 3 in the fair-value hierarchy.  However, the disclosure is neither predictive nor
indicative of future movements in fair value.

TRANSFERS BETWEEN LEVELS OF THE FAIR-VALUE HIERARCHY (UNAUDITED)

In terms of the group's policy, transfers of financial instruments between levels of the fair-value hierarchy are deemed
to have occurred at the end of the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value for which fair value is disclosed

Certain financial instruments of the group are not carried at fair value and are measured at amortised cost. The
calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments incorporates the group's best estimate of the value at
which these financial assets could be exchanged, or financial liabilities transferred, between market participants at
the measurement date. The group's estimate of what fair value is does not necessarily represent what it would be able to
sell the asset for or transfer the respective financial liability for in an involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.

The fair values of these respective financial instruments at the reporting date detailed below are estimated only for
the purpose of IFRS disclosure, as follows:

Rm                                                 Carrying value Fair value Level 1 Level 2    Level 3

(1)  During 2018 a detailed review was performed on offsetting, which indicated that at 31 December 2017 an asset of R6 107m (June 2017: R3 473m) was incorrectly set
    off against a liability with the same counterparty. To correct this at 31 December 2017 loans and advances and amounts owed to depositors were restated by R6
    107m (June 2017: R3 473m).

There have been no significant changes in the methodology used to estimate the fair value of the above instruments
during the period.

Loans and advances  

Loans and advances that are not recognised at fair value principally comprise variable-rate financial assets. The
interest rates on these variable-rate financial assets are adjusted when the applicable benchmark interest rate changes.

Loans and advances are not actively traded in most markets and it is therefore not possible to determine the fair value
of these loans and advances using observable market prices and market inputs. Due to the unique characteristics of the
loans and advances portfolio and the fact that there have been no recent transactions involving the disposal of such
loans and advances, there is no basis to determine a price that could be negotiated between market participants in an
orderly transaction. The group is not currently in the position of a forced sale of such underlying loans and advances
and it would therefore be inappropriate to value the loans and advances on a forced-sale basis.

For specifically impaired loans and advances the carrying value, as determined after consideration of the group's IFRS 9
expected credit losses, is considered the best estimate of fair value.

The group has developed a methodology and model to determine the fair value of the gross exposures for the performing
loans and advances measured at amortised cost. This model incorporates the use of average interest rates and projected
monthly cashflows per product type. Future cashflows are discounted using interest rates at which similar loans would be
granted to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. Methodologies and models are updated on a continuous
basis for changes in assumptions, forecasts and modelling techniques. Future forecasts of the group's probability of
default (PD) and loss given defaults (LGDs) for the periods 2019 to 2021 (2017: for periods 2018 to 2020) are based on
the latest available internal data and is applied to the projected cashflows of the first three years.  Thereafter, PDs
and LGDs are gradually reverted to their long-run averages and are applied to the remaining projected cashflows.  Inputs
into the model include various assumptions utilised in the pricing of loans and advances. The determination of such
inputs is highly subjective and therefore any change to one or more of the assumptions may result in a significant
change in the determination of the fair value of loans and advances.

Government and other securities

The fair value of government and other securities is determined based on available market prices (level 1) or
discounted-cashflow analysis (level 2), where an instrument is not quoted or the market is considered to be inactive. 

Other short-term securities

The fair value of other short-term securities is determined using a discounted-cashflow analysis (level 2). 

Long-term debt instruments

The fair value of long-term debt instruments is determined based on available market prices (level 1) or
discounted-cashflow analysis (level 2), where an instrument is not quoted or the market is considered to be inactive.

Amounts owed to depositors

The amounts owed to depositors principally comprise of variable-rate liabilities. The carrying value of the amounts owed
to depositors approximates fair value because the instruments reprice to current market rates at frequent intervals. In
addition, a significant portion of the balance is callable or is short term in nature.

Cash and cash equivalents, other assets, mandatory deposits with central banks and provisions and other liabilities

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, mandatory deposits with central banks and provisions and
other liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of their respective fair values, as they are either short
term in nature or are repriced to current market rates at frequent intervals.
