Notes to the supplementary income statement                                     
A. Presentation                                                                 
The results for the period, in accordance with IFRS, are shown in the income    
statement. To illustrate the results of the insurance and investment operations,
the above supplementary income statement is provided and separated into:        
(a) A technical account                                                         
The technical account includes a long-term investment return which is applied to
both:                                                                           
    (1) funds generated by the insurance activities;                            
    (2) shareholders` funds.                                                    
This rate of return was decreased from 16,6% in 2008 to 13,3% in 2009 in        
accordance with the approach adopted by the holding company, Old Mutual plc.    
This change in rate decreased operating income by R98 million in 2009. The long-
term investment rate is not an annual guaranteed rate of return and might not   
always be achieved on the group`s investments.                                  
(b) A non-technical account                                                     
The non-technical account includes all non-insurance related activities         
including investments, and above mentioned allocated investment returns         
transferred to the technical account.                                           
B. Allocation                                                                   
The investment return on investments supporting insurance activities is         
allocated to the technical account in determining the general insurance result. 
In addition the long-term investment return on investments supporting           
shareholders` funds is allocated from the non-technical account to the technical
account in determining an operating income based on the long-term investment    
return. The allocations accordingly negate one another in the determination of  
profit/(loss) before taxation.                                                  
The long-term investment return on shareholders` funds is an estimate of the    
long-term trend investment return for the relevant category of investments      
having regard to past performance, current trends and future expectations.      
C. Combined ratio                                                               
This reflects the ratio of total insurance expenditure to net earned premiums.  
COMMENTS                                                                        
The underwriting result declined sharply during the first quarter of 2009       
following a number of large commercial and industrial claims. There were also   
substantial personal lines claims following the widespread rains, whilst the    
difficult economic environment resulted in significant underwriting losses for  
Credit Guarantee. The overall situation did however improve subsequently and    
acceptable levels of underwriting profits were achieved in the second quarter.  
Gross premium income declined by 7% following the cancellation of certain       
unprofitable business in 2008 and growth proved challenging in the light of     
depressed financial conditions.                                                 
Investment income declined during the period following a reduction in investment
gains and dividends, due to lower levels of equity holdings, but interest income
increased as a result of higher levels of cash on deposit.                      
In light of the difficult circumstances earnings per share declined by 14%.     
Despite these difficulties however, the net asset value per share increased to  
R11,44 at 30 June 2009 from R10,92 at 31 December 2008. The solvency margin     
(being the ratio of net assets to net premiums) accordingly increased from 41%  
to 46% over the same period with a commensurate improvement in the regulatory   
solvency. In light of the need to build solvency levels and conserve capital, an
interim dividend has not been declared.                                         
Despite difficult trading conditions in the first half, the company has begun to
benefit from the reorganisation to a regionalised business model which is       
expected to deliver improved service levels to clients and intermediaries.      
COMPLIANCE                                                                      
The company complies in all material respects with the JSE Listings Requirements
and the King Report Code of Corporate Practices and Conduct.
