* 2003 comparatives have been restated to be consistent with the current year segmental presentation.

** For life assurance and general insurance businesses, adjusted operating profit is based on a long term investment return and includes investment returns on own shares held within the policyholders’ funds. For banking business, adjusted operating profit excludes the loss on disposal 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.

The segmental analysis within the summary consolidated profit and loss account has been prepared on a gross of inter-segment transactions basis. Details of the inter-segment revenue and expenses are set out in note 5.

*** Indicative only – the actual amount of the final dividend per share in Rand will be determined by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on 31 March 2005 and will be announced by the Company on 1 April 2005
