Return on average equity was a creditable 19%, helped by strong growth at our US businesses, recovery at Nedcor, another solid profit contribution from our South African life business and an excellent first half at Mutual & Federal. We have shown our confidence in the strength of the Group's business and our generally positive results for the half-year by declaring an increased interim dividend of 1.75p (2003: 1.7p) per share, which will be paid on 30 November 2004. These improved operating results have been accompanied by progress in our journey to develop a powerful international financial services business from our South African core. We have invested further in our US life business, and our UK distribution and asset management businesses have built their teams and capabilities. We have also been working hard at our Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) plans in South Africa and remain committed to introducing BEE shareholdings at the South African level to support our continuing efforts to normalise our staff complement and procurement practices. Adjusted embedded value grew over the period by 9% in Sterling terms and 3% in Rand. Basic earnings per share were negative, mainly as a result of short term market fluctuations in the value of US life's bond portfolio and the impact of the $90 million regulatory settlement at our US asset management affiliate Pilgrim Baxter. The Group's net fund flow from customers was healthy around the world, with a net positive total of Â£4.0 billion, including a record $5.3 billion from our US asset management business. Investment performance continues to be the key for our businesses to attract client assets. On a three-year basis, more than three-quarters of our US funds under management and more than two-thirds of our South African third party asset management clients have received returns above benchmark and more than 70% of our UK unit trusts were in the top half of their comparator groups. Markets remained at higher levels than in the equivalent period in 2003. Together with the strong net cash flow, this led to assets under management, the driver for much of our revenues, being up 12% on 30 June 2003 levels. Nedcor stabilised through the early stages of its recovery programme during the first half. Our target for Nedcor remains to achieve a run-rate Return on Equity of 20% by the end of 2006 for delivery in 2007. Adjusted operating profit (under UK GAAP) of R712 million was below that for the equivalent period in 2003 (R1,308 million), but was a substantial improvement on the loss incurred in the second half of 2003. Before restructuring costs, Nedcor covered its cost of capital and we expect it to make steady progress to our goal over the next three years. Operating and Financial Review Chief Executive's Statement continued Important steps were also taken by Nedcor during the period to fulfil the strategic imperatives that we had agreed with management. These included: the strengthening of capital through the completion of its R5.2 billion rights issue; disposal of non-core operations outside South Africa; the installation of a new executive team; the reduction of risk and volatility through the repatriation of surplus capital and an interest rate hedging programme; and tackling the expense base through retrenchments announced in the first quarter. Life sales for the Group as a whole were flat overall. A 21% increase in sales in US Dollar terms at our US life business offset disappointing sales at our South African life business, so that 53% of our sales came from the US in this period. Margins were well above our long-term expectations in the US life business at 22%. In South Africa, margins were in line with our long-term expectations at a product level, but our product mix produced a lower result than last year. In the UK, Selestia continued to make strong progress by building its sales (Â£197 million, as compared with Â£86 million in the equivalent period in 2003). We were very pleased with the results from our now 88%-owned South African general insurance subsidiary, Mutual & Federal, as it achieved top-of-the-cycle underwriting results and benefited from favourable claims conditions. These excellent results have enabled Mutual & Federal to declare a special dividend, of which some R753m will be for our benefit. Our total gearing* was 17.5% at the end of June, compared to 21.7% at the end of 2003. In South Africa, we have 2.5 times the statutory requirements in our life company, and Nedcor's capital adequacy ratio was 12.3% at 30 June 2004. A M Best have confirmed our US life business's credit ratings. Outlook We expect the momentum built up in the period to June will continue and that our results for the year will benefit from management action initiated in the first half. We shall be making further investment in our strategic development, including the launch of a new retail strategy at our US asset management business. Volatility of currencies and markets will affect us, as usual, but the benefits of our diversity will continue to mitigate this. Jim Sutcliffe Chief Executive 10 August 2004 * As defined in the footnote on page 12. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review SEGMENTAL REVIEW - SOUTH AFRICA LIFE ASSURANCE Our South African life assurance business continued to deliver strong profit, although sales were lower than planned. Adjusted operating profit, excluding long term investment return (LTIR), of R1,825 million was up 15% on the R1,592 million recorded in the same period for 2003, driven by tighter expense control, favourable experience variances and a 10% increase in average asset levels. The LTIR of R1,023 million declined by 5% from R1,075 million for the comparative period. This reduction reflects the impact that the investments in Nedcor and Mutual & Federal, outlined under Capital below, had on the average shareholder assets used in the calculation, as well as the reduction in the effective LTIR rate arising from an increase in the cash component of the portfolio. Total life sales on an APE basis for the period were R1,356 million, 14% lower than the corresponding period last year principally caused by significantly lower Group Business sales. Individual Business and Group Business contributed R1,158 million (2003: R1,196 million) and R198 million (2003: R380 million) respectively to this result. Individual Business single premiums were flat at R3,099 million when compared to the equivalent period last year, with higher annuity sales being offset by lower investment business. Individual Business recurring premiums of R848 million were 5% down on the R888 million in the same period last year, with significantly higher Group Schemes sales offset by lower investment business in the middle market. Individual Business sales were achieved despite the negative productivity impact of completing accreditation for advisors and brokers in line with the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act. The successful launch of Masthead for the broker market is designed to strengthen our position with independent brokers, who remain a key channel. While life Individual Business was disappointing, non-life sales in Unit Trusts and Fairbairn Capital increased by 28% over the prior period. Group Business single premiums fell 60% from the equivalent period last year with no significant large flows in the period, while Group Business recurring premiums of R93 million were 21% behind the R117 million in the same period last year. Progress on the pipeline for Group Business has been disappointing, although the pipeline remains significant and is subject to an unpredictable sales pattern. The after-tax value of new business at R264 million was 7% lower than the comparative period in 2003, although total margins improved slightly from 18% in 2003 to 19% for the current period due to tight expense management in the distribution business. The value of in-force business of R9,190 million at 30 June 2004 decreased from R9,832 million at 31 December 2003 due to the negative effect of economic assumption changes and investment variances. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued Life company net cash flow was a negative R2.8 billion in the six months, including a negative R0.9 billion in respect of life wrapped asset management flows. The remaining life result reflects a positive R0.3 billion in respect of Individual Business (2003: negative R0.7 billion) and a negative R2.2 billion for Group Business (2003: positive R0.2 billion) as a result of significantly lower Group Business single premiums. The life company's capital on the relevant local basis increased by R1.9 billion during the period to R31.0 billion at 30 June 2004, and the company remains well capitalised with excess assets of 2.5 times the required statutory capital. ASSET MANAGEMENT Adjusted operating profit for the South African asset management businesses, excluding Nedcor, decreased to R217 million in 2004, compared to R233 million in the equivalent period in 2003. Higher asset levels and improved performance fees were offset by lower trading fees in the unit trust company following changes to industry guidelines regarding trading in units, charges relating to share incentive arrangements and development of administration infrastructure. Total net client inflows to the asset management businesses were R4.8 billion, excluding the R0.9 billion of life wrapped assets noted under life above. This included R2.6 billion of inflows following the successful transfer of mandates from Quaystone clients. BANKING - NEDCOR The first six months of 2004 have seen Nedcor make good progress in restoring the performance of the Group and laying a foundation for growth. As previously noted, it is going to take time for the full benefits of the recovery programme to emerge, although the progress and improvements made to date have been encouraging. Nedcor's adjusted operating profit, which includes its asset management operations, of R712 million was a decrease of 46% compared to the same period last year, but an improvement on the second half of 2003. Nedcor's net interest income of R3,549 million reflects an increase of 2% over the first half of 2003. Improved margins at 3.05% were the primary drivers as expensive fixed rate funding started to unwind. Non-interest revenue at R3,156 million was a decrease of 5% over R3,332 million in the second half of 2003 (based on a reclassification of asset management result). This is primarily attributable to a reduction in profits from exchange and securities trading. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued Translation losses are substantially lower at R213 million (2003: R658 million). Nedcor has repatriated, restructured and hedged offshore capital to reduce foreign currency exposure from R7.1 billion to a net R3.1 billion during the past six months. The capital volatility arising from foreign exchange movements has now been substantially neutralised. The cost-to-income ratio, on an SA GAAP basis and excluding the effect of translation losses, at 77.6% reflects a deterioration from the 2003 ratio of 65.4% mainly due to lower revenue growth and re-engineering expenses. This negative gearing effect of expense growth exceeding income growth has accordingly impacted earnings. The headcount reductions will only impact the cost base from the second half of the year. Nedcor continues to focus on internal expense reduction as a key part of its recovery programme. In February, Nedcor launched a rights issue which raised R5.2 billion of additional ordinary capital. Part of the net proceeds were used to repay the R2 billion advanced by Old Mutual in December and other short term financing of R0.5 billion. This, together with the realisation of non-core investments, the focus on managing advances growth and the reduction of foreign currency exposure through the repatriation of offshore capital, have all contributed to increasing the primary capital adequacy ratio from 10.1% at 31 December 2003 to 12.3% at 30 June 2004. GENERAL INSURANCE - MUTUAL & FEDERAL Mutual & Federal, the Group's 88% owned South African general insurance operation, has had an exceptional six months with an adjusted operating profit of R569 million, including long term investment return, representing an increase of 55% from R368 million last year. The strong performance was principally attributable to an improvement in the underwriting surplus to R266 million (2003: R93 million). This represented an underwriting ratio of 8.5% to net earned premiums (10.7% on an SA GAAP basis), which was a marked improvement over the 3.5% achieved in the equivalent period in 2003. This has been aided by the strong underwriting cycle in the first half of 2004, combined with an absence of severe weather-related claims and strong claims control with a focus on quality and speed of claims settlement. Gross premium income of R3,592 million was 19% higher than last year as a result of new business acquired and rating adjustments in unprofitable segments of the business. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued SEGMENTAL REVIEW - United States US LIFE Our US life business's adjusted operating profit of $73 million was 18% up on the $62 million achieved in 2003. This increase was driven by the impact of the continued growth in scale of the business, with funds under management increasing by 22% to $15.3 billion. Over the past year the business has demonstrated its ability to exploit opportunities in changing market conditions by adding pertinent new distribution and through rapid product development. In distribution we added a corporate and offshore channel. In products, the business has used its traditional equity index competence to produce both profitable annuity and life products, which respectively took second and fifth place market share nationally for the period. Total APE for the first half of 2004, at $251 million, was 21% higher than achieved in the first half of 2003. The average margin on new business after tax increased from 11% to 22% of APE and the value of new business after tax at $54 million was $32 million higher than in 2003 driven mainly by movements in interest rates, the change in product mix and a reduction in the costs of gathering new business. US life continue to manage the capital efficiently and $16 million was injected to support new business volumes. The business is now generating positive statutory profits, reducing the business's need for future capital support from the Group. The Risk Based Capital (RBC) remains in excess of 200% of the statutory requirement. US ASSET MANAGEMENT The Group's US asset management business delivered adjusted operating profit of $87 million, an increase of 43% on the equivalent period in 2003. The stable equity markets in the first half of 2004, in conjunction with strong transaction and performance fees and positive net fund inflows, were the key factors driving this positive result. Average asset levels for 2004 were $159 billion, compared to $127 billion, adjusted for sold firms, for the comparative 2003 period. Funds under management increased in the first half of 2004 by 6% from $154 billion to $163 billion following net client inflows of $5.3 billion and positive market movements of $4.1 billion. These inflows were achieved in both equity and fixed income portfolios and included $1.5 billion from the US life business and $2.0 billion in cash collateral assets for eSecLending, our securities lending business. Our strategy of maintaining a diversity of separate specialist affiliates has ensured that the issues affecting Pilgrim Baxter & Associates (PBA) had no material impact on other affiliates. At 30 June 2004, the funds under management remain well diversified, comprising 45% US equities, 10% international equities, 34% fixed income and 11% alternative and other assets. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued Strong investment performance has been maintained at previously high levels. 81% and 93% of mandates outperformed their respective benchmarks on an asset weighted basis over three and five years respectively. Over 70% of these funds also achieved top quartile performance relative to their peers over the same periods. In June, PBA reached agreements with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Office of the New York State Attorney General to settle the regulatory actions against the firm. The agreements settled charges brought against PBA in November 2003 in relation to past trading activity in the PBHG Funds permitted by the former management of the firm. New leadership appointed at PBA in November has instituted significant reforms at the firm and worked with the authorities to settle the charges. Total fines and penalties agreed by PBA were $90 million. PBA has also committed to future fee reductions of $10 million. SEGMENTAL REVIEW - UK & REST OF WORLD Adjusted operating profit from the Group's UK and Rest of World asset management and life assurance businesses, excluding Nedcor, was Â£4 million in the first half of 2004, lower than the Â£9 million earned in the equivalent period in 2003. This result includes the adjusted operating profit from Bermuda (Â£5 million) and African countries other than South Africa (Â£4 million), offset by an adjusted operating loss from the Group's operations in the UK (Â£5 million). Selestia's business continues to grow, with funds under management increasing by 65% in 2004 to Â£477 million as a result of sales reaching Â£197m, 49% higher than the second half of 2003. OMAM(UK) has achieved adjusted operating profits of Â£3 million compared to a loss of Â£1 million in the equivalent period in 2003, with average assets 7% higher and a larger proportion of high margin hedge fund assets driving this increase, despite net external client outflows of Â£54 million for the period. Investment performance remains strong with 77% of unit trust assets above the peer comparative median over three years. GROUP RESULTS Solid performances across each of our business units have contributed to Old Mutual's improved results during the first half of 2004, with adjusted operating profits before tax of Â£422 million increasing by 7% from Â£395 million in the equivalent period of 2003. Net fund flows remain strong on a Group basis with increased sales in the US market for both life and asset management more than offsetting the impact of lower sales in South Africa. Following stable financial markets, total funds under management for the Group increased steadily to Â£130 billion from Â£125 billion at the end of 2003. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued Adjusted operating earnings per share improved to 6.8p per share (2003: 5.6p), representing a 21% increase over the first half of 2003. The basic loss per share was 1.8p compared to basic earnings of 5.6p in 2003. Basic earnings have been impacted by the fines and penalties relating to PBA and negative short term fluctuations arising predominantly from the impact on our US Life portfolio of higher prevailing yields. Operating profit on ordinary activities before tax, which includes goodwill amortisation and impairment, restructuring and integration costs, fines and penalties, short term fluctuations in investment return and adjustments for investment return for own shares held in the policyholders' funds, similarly declined to a loss of Â£10 million compared to a profit of Â£392 million in 2003. ACHIEVED PROFITS The Group's adjusted operating profit on an achieved profits basis of Â£468 million increased by 9% from Â£429 million in 2003. Adjusted operating profit for life assurance of Â£326 million was up by 14% from Â£287 million in the first half of 2003, driven by increased new business in the US and improved experience variances in South Africa. Adjusted operating earnings per share on an achieved profits basis rose from 6.0p to 7.4p. Achieved profits equity shareholders' funds (adjusted for own shares held in policyholder funds and to bring listed Group subsidiaries to market value) of Â£4,380 million at 30 June 2004 increased by 9% from Â£4,015 million at 31 December 2003, benefiting from an improvement in the Rand exchange rate, an increase in the share price of Mutual & Federal and the impact of the Nedcor rights issue. The resultant adjusted embedded value per share increased to 114p from 105p. CAPITAL The Group's gearing level remains favourable, with senior debt gearing* at 30 June 2004 of 11% (15% at 31 December 2003) and total gearing*, including hybrid capital, of 17.5% (21.7% at 31 December 2003). Hybrid capital excludes hybrid debt from banking activities and comprises the $750 million of Guaranteed Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities issued during May 2003 that are reported as part of non-equity minority interests in the financial statements. The increased stake in Mutual & Federal and our participation in the Nedcor rights issue were funded from the Group's existing financial resources. We continue to monitor the potential implications of all new regulations including the Financial Groups Directive. Strong support from Old Mutual ensured that Nedcor's rights offer was a success, raising R5.2 billion and restoring Nedcor's capital base resulting in a capital adequacy ratio of 12.3% (10.1% at 31 December 2003). Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued The Group's investment in Mutual & Federal was increased to 88% as a result of the offer to acquire the outstanding minority interests, which resulted in acceptances representing 37% of Mutual & Federal's issued share capital. Mutual & Federal's solvency margin, being the ratio of net assets to net premiums, is anticipated to reduce to 43% following the payment of a special dividend in November. This remains comfortably above the minimum required to support current operations and facilitate the future growth of the business. The solvency ratios of the Group's major life businesses at 30 June 2004 remain well above the minimum statutory requirements, with South Africa's excess assets (before regulatory asset limitations) equivalent to 2.5 times the statutory minimum, and the US business in excess of 200% RBC requirement. In May 2004, Old Mutual plc raised a new Â£1.1 billion five-year syndicated revolving credit facility and at the same time retired a number of existing bank credit facilities. The new facility was undrawn at 30 June 2004. TAXATION The Group's effective tax rate (based on the tax charge as a proportion of adjusted operating profit) of 25% represents a decrease from 33% in the first half of 2003. The rate is primarily lower as a result of a lower effective tax rate at Nedcor, which reflects the decision to report certain transactional taxes as an expense in adjusted operating profit. The rate was also favourably affected by a reduction in Secondary Tax on Companies (Nedcor paid a scrip dividend this year) and by an increase in the proportion of low tax income earned relative to income taxed at the standard South African tax rate. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) We are continuing to make good progress towards the transition to IFRS across the Group by 1 January 2005. Our IFRS project, established in 2002, has now started focusing on the systems, process and reporting changes required for compliance with IFRS. The International Financial Reporting Standards that will have the most impact on the Group, in common with our peers, are those that deal with financial instruments and insurance and investment contracts. We are concerned by the uncertainty in accounting for financial instruments resulting from continued changes by the International Accounting Standards Board to IAS 39 and the fact that the European Commission is yet to endorse the standard. Until IAS 39 is endorsed, there remains considerable uncertainty as to the impact and timing of implementation. Operating and Financial Review Group Finance Director's Review continued DIVIDEND The Board has declared an interim dividend of 1.75p per share (2003: 1.7p), which will be paid on 30 November 2004 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 22 October 2004. The equivalent of this dividend in the local currencies of South Africa, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe will be determined by the Company on 7 October 2004 and will be announced to the markets on 8 October 2004. The Company's shares will trade ex-dividend from the opening of business on 18 October 2004 on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa and the Malawi, Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges, and from the opening of business on 20 October 2004 on the London Stock Exchange. The last dates to trade cum-dividend will therefore be 15 October 2004 in South Africa, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe and 19 October 2004 in London. No dematerialisation or rematerialisation of shares within the South African STRATE system may take place between 18 October 2004 and 22 October 2004 (both dates inclusive). Julian V F Roberts Group Finance Director 10 August 2004 * Senior debt gearing is defined as senior debt over senior debt plus adjusted embedded value on an achieved profits basis. Senior debt excludes debt from banking activities and is net of cash and short term investments which are immediately available to repay debt. Total gearing is similarly based but includes hybrid capital instruments within debt. Independent Review Report by KPMG Audit Plc to Old Mutual plc Introduction We have been engaged by the Company to review the financial information set out on pages 14 to 49 and the supplementary financial information set out on pages 50 to 64 prepared on an achieved profits basis, and we have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where they are to be changed in the next annual accounts in which case any changes, and the reasons for them, are to be disclosed. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/ 4: Review of interim financial information issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.

For life assurance and general insurance businesses, adjusted operating profit is based on a long term investment return and includes investment return on own shares held in policyholders' funds. For banking business, adjusted operating profit excludes the loss on disposal / write down of investment in Dimension Data Holdings plc, restructuring and integration costs and the transitional impact of the change in credit provisioning methodology. For all businesses, adjusted operating profit excludes goodwill amortisation and impairment and fines and penalties. Adjusted operating earnings per share is similarly based, but is stated after tax and minority interests, with the calculation of the weighted average number of shares including own shares held in policyholders' funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2004 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY The results for the six months to 30 June 2004 and the position at that date have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Group 2003 Annual Report except for: â€¢ the adoption of Urgent Issues Task Force (UITF) Abstract 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts', the effects of which are described below. â€¢ the adoption of the Statement of Recommended Practice on 'Accounting for Insurance Business' issued by the Association of British Insurers in November 2003 ('ABI SORP') (previously December 1998 version), the implementation of which does not impact the interim financial statements. The results of the Group's banking operations have been prepared in accordance with the British Bankers' Association Statements of Recommended Practice on Advances (1997), Securities (1990), Derivatives (2001), Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (1996) and Segmental Reporting (1993). Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of UITF Abstract 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. This abstract requires that Group's holdings in own shares held by Employee Share Ownership Trusts (ESOPs) be accounted for as a deduction from shareholders' funds (profit and loss account) rather than recorded as an asset. In addition, purchases and sales of such own shares should be shown as changes in shareholders' funds such that no profit or loss is recognised. In the majority of cases, the ESOP Trusts have waived their rights to dividends such that there is no impact on operating profit after tax. The reductions in equity shareholders' funds at 30 June 2004, 31 December 2003 and 30 June 2003 were Â£113 million (R1,270 million), Â£109 million (R1,301 million) and Â£110 million (R1,356 million) respectively, representing the original cost of these shares. In the second half of 2003 the Group adopted UITF Abstract 37 'Purchases and Sales of Own Shares'. As a result, shares of the Company held by the Group's long term policyholders' funds were accounted for as deduction from equity rather than as an asset and the investment return earned and dividends paid on these shares were no longer shown in the profit and loss account. The 30 June 2003 comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of this Abstract. For the six months ended 30 June 2003, operating profit after tax increased by Â£14 million (R181 million) and dividends paid have been restated to exclude dividends in respect of own shares, resulting in an overall increase in retained profit of Â£18 million (R232 million). Basic earnings per share have been restated to reflect a reduction in the weighted average number of shares in issue of 316 million. At 30 June 2003, the reduction in equity shareholders' funds was Â£267 million (R3,303 million). Full details of the changes are set out in notes 3, 4 and 5(b)(iv). The results for the six months ended 30 June 2004 and 2003 are unaudited, but have been reviewed by the auditors whose report is presented on page 13. The auditors have reported on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2003 and the accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report in respect of the year ended 31 December 2003 was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the UK Companies Act 1985. These financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as described in section 240 of the UK Companies Act 1985. Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the six months ended 30 June 2004 2 FOREIGN CURRENCIES The information contained in these financial statements is expressed in both Sterling and South African Rand. This is in order to meet both the legal requirements of the UK Companies Act 1985 and to provide the users of the accounts in South Africa with illustrative information. The principal exchange rates used to translate the operating results, assets and liabilities of key foreign business segments to Sterling are: Rand US$ 6 months to 6 months to Year to 6 months to 6 months to Year to 30 June 30 June 31 December 30 June 30 June 31 December 2004 2003 2003 2004 2003 2003 Profit and loss account (average rate) 12.1544 12.9459 12.3487 1.8222 1.6110 1.6354 Balance sheet (closing rate) 11.3037 12.3692 11.9367 1.8144 1.6528 1.7833 3 EARNINGS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated based upon the profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders. The directors' view is that adjusted operating earnings per share derived from adjusted operating profit or loss after tax and minority interests provides a better indication of the underlying performance of the Group. For life assurance and general insurance businesses, adjusted operating profit is based on a long term investment return and includes investment return on own shares held in policyholders' funds. For banking business, adjusted operating profit excludes the loss on disposal / write down of investment in Dimension Data Holdings plc, restructuring and integration costs and the transitional impact of the change in credit provisioning methodology. For all businesses, adjusted operating profit excludes goodwill amortisation and impairment and fines and penalties.

No adjustment is required for UITF Abstract 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts' as the shares in the Company held in ESOP Trusts have already been excluded from the calculation as, in the majority of cases, the ESOP Trusts have waived their rights to dividends on these shares. The diluted earnings per share calculation reflects the impact of the potential issue of shares in respect of ESOP Trusts and the US Dollar Guaranteed Convertible Bond.

The dividend will be paid on 30 November 2004 to all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 17 October 2004, being the record date for the dividend. As a consequence of the exchange control arrangements in place in South Africa and other relevant African territories, dividends to shareholders on the branch registers in those countries (or in the case of Namibia, the Namibian section of the principal register) are settled through Dividend Access Trusts established for that purpose. As described in note 1, in accordance with UITF Abstract 37 'Purchases and Sales of Own Shares', dividends paid have been restated to exclude dividends on shares in the Company held in policyholders' funds. * Indicative only - the actual amount of the dividend per share in Rand will be determined by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on 7 October 2004 and announced by the Company on 8 October 2004.

The revised methodology requiring the discounting of future cash flows on advances is acceptable under UK GAAP reporting and was therefore adopted in preparation of the Group's 2003 financial statements, resulting in a one-off increase in opening specific provisions due to the discounting effect. Further investigation of the transitional adjustment following publication of the 2003 interim results resulted in an increased charge of Â£9 million (R111 million) that was recognised in the second half of 2003. This adjustment has been taken to the profit and loss account in the Group's financial statements but excluded from adjusted operating profit.

For the South African and Namibian long term business, the return is applied to an average value of investible shareholders' assets. For general insurance business, the return is an average value of investible assets supporting shareholders' funds and insurance liabilities. For the US long term business, the return earned by assets, mainly bonds, has been smoothed with reference to the actual yield earned by the portfolio. Short term fluctuations in investment return represent the difference between actual return and long term investment return. The principal long term rates of investment return for equities and other investible assets are as follows: 6 months to 6 months to Year to 30 June 30 June 31 December 2004 2003 2003 South Africa and Namibia long term and general insurance businesses - weighted average return 13.0% 13.4% 13.4% Equities 14.0% 14.0% 14.0% Cash and other investible assets - Rand denominated 12.5% 12.5% 12.5% Cash and other investible assets - other currencies 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% United States 6.09% 6.04% 6.04% The long term rates of return are based on achieved real rates of return adjusted for current inflation expectations and consensus economic investment forecasts, and are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The directors are of the opinion that these rates of return are appropriate and have been selected with a view to ensuring that returns credited to operating earnings are not inconsistent with the actual returns expected to be earned over the long term.

PBA agreed to pay $40 million in disgorgement of past fees, as well as $50 million in civil penalties. This has resulted in a charge of Â£49 million (R596 million) for the period ended 30 June 2004, which has been taken to the profit and loss account in the Group's financial statements, but excluded from adjusted operating profit. Tax deductions have been recognised on the disgorgement of past fees, resulting in a tax credit of Â£8 million (R97 million). In addition PBA will reduce fees to investors by approximately $10 million over the next five years. There are several related private lawsuits arising from the conduct alleged in the civil suits filed by the SEC and NYAG. These class action lawsuits are at a very early procedural stage and it is not possible to say, at this time, whether or not the amount of the ultimate liability to be borne by the Group will be material. As a result, no amount has been recognised for additional fines or other penalties that may arise, as significant uncertainty remains over the quantum of any settlement.
