Executive review
In challenging business conditions during the six months ended 30 June 2010
the Group performed well, with all key performance indicators reflecting a
satisfactory result on a comparable basis. This again confirms the Group`s
track record of resilient results as our diversification strategy, combined
with prudent operational and financial practices, contributed towards its
defensive character in adverse trading conditions. The Group`s core operations
continue to provide a stable base, complemented by an increasing contribution
from investments in new growth initiatives.
Business environment
In the 2009 Sanlam Annual Report we expressed the view that the so-called
green shoots of recovery at the time were not expected to burst into vigorous
international growth and that especially Africa was likely to experience a
delayed recovery. The business environment experienced in the first six months
of 2010 confirmed that view. Amidst some signs of a global economic upturn,
the recovery remains fragile and has been mired by fears of the contagious
impact of sovereign debt problems experienced in the European Union. This is
evident in an increase in risk margins in Europe and a return to global equity
market volatility.
Key aspects of the economic and business environment during the six months and
the impact on the Group`s results are contextualised in the sections that
follow.
Equity markets
The South African equity market closely followed international trends,
recording negative growth during the first two months of the year, followed by
optimistic buoyancy during March and April, only to revert back into negative
territory in May and June. The FTSE/JSE All Share Index at the end of June
2010 closed 5% down on its 31 December 2009 level. The MSCI world index in
Rand lost 6% over the same period. The strong equity market performance in the
latter half of 2009, however, contributed to higher average market levels
during the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
These conditions had a major impact on the Group`s results:
* Net result from financial services: The higher average market levels
supported an increase in the average level of assets under management and
commensurately the asset-based fee income and profitability of the Group`s
asset management operations. The market volatility and associated uncertainty
and risk aversion, however, limited deal flow and profitability in the capital
management operations.
* Net investment return: The negative equity market returns during the first
six months of 2010, compared to the moderately positive returns in the
comparable period in 2009, depressed the return earned on the capital
portfolio, thereby limiting growth in headline earnings.
* Net fund flows: The strong equity market performance in the latter part of
2009 raised investor confidence and caused certain retail investors to switch
from money market funds back into equities. As a result, notwithstanding
ongoing growth in new funds attracted to the Glacier platform, the strong
allocation of funds from the platform to the Glacier wrap and money market
funds experienced during 2008 and 2009 reversed during the first six months of
2010, resulting in a net outflow from these solutions. Demand for Sanlam
Collective Investments` institutional funds (primarily dividend income fund)
also decreased from the high base in 2009. The demand for Sanlam UK`s
investment solutions benefited from some increase in UK investor confidence on
the back of improving equity markets.
Interest rates
Long-term interest rates remained largely unchanged from 2009 and had no
material impact on the reported results. In contrast, short-term interest
rates decreased sharply towards the end of June 2009, resulting in
significantly lower average short-term rates during the first six months of
2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
This had a material impact on the Group results compared to the first six
months of 2009:
* Net result from financial services: The Group`s operating earnings include
interest earned on working capital cash balances (`float`). The main drivers
behind this profit source are the level of cash balances and short-term
interest rates. The significant decrease in the latter had a major negative
impact on float income.
* Net investment return: The decrease in short-term interest rates also
reduced the return earned on the cash held in the capital portfolio.
* Net fund flows: The attractiveness of money market funds is directly linked
to short-term interest rates. The sharp decline in money market returns,
coupled with stronger equity markets, reduced demand for money market
solutions offered by Glacier and Sanlam Collective Investments (refer above).
Foreign currency exchange rates
The exchange rate of the Rand against the currencies to which the Group has
major exposure, is summarised in the table below (negative variances indicate
a strengthening of the Rand).

-18.2% -15.9% -17.6% -9.7% -16.7%
The Rand continued to strengthen during the first six months of 2010 against
currencies to which the Group has a major exposure. The stronger average
exchange rate of the South African currency impacted on the reported results:
* Net result from financial services: A negative effect on the rand-based
earnings recorded by the Group`s operations in the UK, Botswana and Kenya.
* Net investment return: A reduction in the investment return earned on the
capital portfolio`s foreign exposure in rand terms.
* Net fund flows and value of new covered business: A reduction in the Rand
value of the growth in new business volumes, value of new covered business and
net fund flows recorded by Sanlam UK and Sanlam Developing Markets.
Economic conditions
Consumer debt levels in South Africa remain high and continue to impact on the
level of discretionary expenditure. A decrease in mortgage lending rates
since 2008 provided some relief but was largely offset by major hikes in
electricity prices and other consumption expenditure. Discretionary savings in
the mass middle market therefore remain under pressure, with a very low demand
for recurring premium saving solutions. The demand for risk solutions,
however, are less affected by economic conditions and continued to grow.
As anticipated in the 2009 annual report, African resources-based economies
are experiencing a delayed impact of the global financial markets crisis as
the effect of reduced state revenue in particular took some time to filter
through to consumers. This is reflected in pressure on new business volumes
achieved in most of the African countries where the Group operates. A return
to global economic growth, although prolonged in the developed markets, should
provide some relief on the back of an increased demand for resources.
Improving investor confidence enabled Sanlam UK to stage a major improvement
in both new life and investment business.
Underwriting conditions
Santam experienced a favourable turnaround in underwriting results during the
first six months of 2010. The first half of 2009 was in particular marred by
large fire-related corporate claims, the absence of which in 2010 contributed
to a strong improvement in underwriting profits. Underwriting margins can,
however, not be expected to be maintained at the current level.
Employee Benefits` operating earnings and net fund flows deteriorated during
the six months to June 2010 due to a cyclical increase in risk claims. Sanlam
Personal Finance also reported some deterioration in risk underwriting
experience, but to a lesser extent.
Performance review
The Group achieved an overall satisfactory operational performance for the
first six months of the 2010 financial year.
The primary performance target of the Group is to optimise shareholder value
through maximising the return on Group Equity Value (GEV). A target has been
set for the growth in GEV to exceed the Group`s cost of capital on a
sustainable basis. Cost of capital is set at the government long bond yield
plus 3%. The target is to exceed this return by at least 1%. The annualised
return on GEV per share of 9,1% for the six months ended 30 June 2010 fell
short of this target, but still represents a strong performance given the
relatively weak investment markets. On a normalised basis, i.e. assuming a
normalised investment market performance and excluding any once-off items, the
annualised return of 13,2% for the six months is broadly in line with the
target of 13,4%.
Total new business volumes, excluding white label business, decreased by 3%,
the combined result of strong growth in new life business, offset by a decline
in new investment business from a high base in 2009. New life business volumes
increased by 13%, with strong contributions from the South African and UK
operations. The rest of Africa operations contributed satisfactory new
business volumes given the difficult economic environment and stronger rand
exchange rate. New investment business declined by 8% from the high base in
2009. Excluding the R2,7 billion increase in the Public Investment
Corporation`s mandate in the first half of 2009, new investment business
volumes are in line with 2009 on a comparable basis, a satisfactory result
given the impact of lower short-term interest rates on demand for money market
solutions. The low conversion rate of low margin money market outflows at
Glacier into Sanlam equity-based products is, however, disappointing.
Core earnings of R1 839 million are 2% up on 2009, the combined effect of a
14% increase in the net result from financial services, substantially offset
by a 25% decline in net investment income earned on the capital portfolio. An
excellent improvement in Santam`s contribution was offset by a decline in
operating earnings at Sanlam Capital Markets, Sanlam Employee Benefits and
Sanlam Investments. The latter is essentially attributable to a once-off
release of expense over provisions in 2009. Employee Benefits experienced an
increase in risk claims, while low business activity impacted on the Sanlam
Capital Markets results. Both Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Developing
Markets experienced an increase in their effective income tax rate. On a
comparable basis the net result from financial services increased by 25%, a
particularly pleasing result in a difficult environment. Net investment income
decreased due to the significant decline in short-term interest rates and as a
result of lower capital levels following corporate activity since the end of
June 2009. Core earnings per share increased by 2%, but by a satisfactory 8%
if the above-mentioned once-off items are excluded. Share buy-backs during the
first half of 2010 had only a minor impact on the weighted average number of
shares in issue.
The investment return earned on the Group`s capital portfolio was marginally
positive during the six months due to weak investment markets. This
contributed to normalised headline earnings per share increasing by only 2% on
2009. Diluted headline earnings per share, which include the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) impact of Sanlam and Santam shares, and
investments in associated companies held by the policyholders` fund, are 5%
down on 2009.
Delivering on strategy
The Group`s well established strategy successfully supported the results
achieved for the first six months of 2010. The Board and management remain
committed to the Group`s key objective of maximising shareholder value. This
is underpinned by the five pillars of optimal capital utilisation, earnings
growth, cost control and efficiencies, diversification and transformation,
which are also reflected in five main priority areas for 2010 as identified in
the 2009 annual report. Good progress has been made on all of these:
* Grow the business through profitable volume growth, client service and cost
management
Amidst a difficult business environment the Group achieved net new fund
inflows of R6,6 billion. The value of new life business for the first six
months increased by 16%, at a higher average margin than for the comparable
period in 2009. At the same time the service culture of the Group received
market recognition in a number of areas. Among them Santam received all three
awards in the short-term insurance category issued by the IFA community.
Sanlam Personal Finance received the IFA awards for both Recurring and Single
premium investment product suppliers.
The Group`s asset managers continue to produce sound asset management results
and Sanlam Investments exceeded almost 100% of their mandates measured over a
one year period. Amongst a number of their recent market accolades, Kokkie
Kooyman of SIM Global was recognised as the best Financial fund manager in the
world.
* Expanding distribution reach
The development of multiple distribution capacity is a cornerstone of the
Group`s growth strategy and is being pursued by all businesses. MiWay, our
fledgling direct short-term insurance venture, remains on track to achieve
critical mass and break-even towards the end of the year. The direct
distribution of other financial services products will follow soon. Sanlam
Developing Markets concluded a joint venture agreement with the JD Group that
will see the distribution of their products through the JD infrastructure. In
the rest of Africa, Sanlam Uganda was formally launched in April 2010 while
formal agreements are being finalised in respect of our new Nigerian insurance
joint venture. In India, we are in particular pleased with the growth achieved
by Shriram General, our short-term insurance joint venture.
* Continued diversification into non-life operations
A number of new initiatives were concluded that added to the Group`s portfolio
of non-life businesses. Sanlam Health Management acquired Eternity Health
Administrators, which added the Chartered Accountants Medical Aid Fund as a
client. Its membership of some 30 000 increased our principal members under
administration to some 90 000 and elevated Sanlam Health Management to the
fourth largest fund administrator in South Africa. At the same time Sanlam
Developing Markets launched a venture aimed at establishing health management
businesses in Africa on the back of the Group`s existing African footprint. In
Botswana, Botswana Insurance Holdings Limited follows a similar
diversification strategy. During the reporting period it acquired an interest
in a general insurer, Legal Guard, to add to its interest in Letshego, an
important player in the African personal loans market. Sanlam Investments
continued with the implementation of its international investment partner
strategy through a number of selected smaller acquisitions.
* Unlocking of and the efficient utilisation of discretionary capital
Capital discipline remains a key commitment of the Group. R866 million of
discretionary capital has been utilised during the six months to buy back 36
million Sanlam shares. Some R62 million was used to acquire 0,6 million Santam
shares (increasing the effective Santam holding to 57%) while a number of new
business ventures consumed a further R200 million. These included additional
capital of just more than R85 million allocated to MiWay, to facilitate its
growth, and Channel Life, to align its solvency position with that of Sanlam
Sky. Given the adverse equity market performance no significant further excess
capital was identified for the period, leaving some R2,8 billion in
discretionary capital as at 30 June 2010.
* Attracting and retaining previously disadvantaged people.
The balanced transformation of our staff and intermediary profile to best
align it with the requirements necessary to optimally service our existing
client base while also reaching our target markets, remains on track. Our
accreditation and commitment to the Investors in People (IPP) standard
contributes to a positive culture of managing diversity. In terms of
Employment Equity our number of black advisers has increased to 71% as at June
2010, while the appointment of Yvonne Muthien and Temba Mvusi as Executive
Directors increased the number of black Sanlam Board members to 47%.
Looking ahead
`Optimism in the face of uncertainty` best describes the outlook for the
second half of the year. 2010 started with renewed investor confidence that
the worst of the financial markets crisis was over and that the world was
gearing up for accelerated growth. Whilst global economic growth is gradually
returning, uncertainty and risk aversion remains, aggravated by the emergence
of sovereign credit risk in Europe and regular economic data that confirms a
prolonged upturn at best.
We remain confident and optimistic that the Group will continue to deliver
sound operating results. The business environment is however expected to
remain challenging in the second half of the year, with only slow economic
recovery in most of the economies in which we operate. This is not expected to
result in any meaningful performance improvement in the second half of the
year compared to the first six months of 2010 or relative to the strong second
half of 2009. The second half performance in 2009 was in particular assisted
by the improvement in investment markets experienced during that period.
Relative market movements during the second half of 2010 will have a major
impact on the level of normalised headline earnings growth to be reported for
the full 2010 financial year.

Comments on the results
Introduction
The Sanlam Group results for the six months ended 30 June 2010 are presented
based on and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), as applicable. The basis of presentation and accounting policies are
consistent with those applied in the 2009 annual report, apart from the
following:
* Segmental reporting: The Investment Management and Capital Markets segments
were restructured. Sanlam Private Equity, Sanlam Properties (excluding the
property management operations that were reallocated to the corporate
segment). And Sanlam Structured Solutions were reallocated from Sanlam
Investments and combined with Sanlam Capital Markets to form the new Capital
Management segment in line with the new management structures.
* Accounting policies: Sanlam Sky Solutions and Channel Life were integrated
into a single business unit after the acquisition of the minority shareholder
interest in Channel Life during 2009. As part of the integration, Channel
Life`s accounting policies for insurance contracts have been aligned with that
of the Sanlam Group by eliminating negative rand reserves held as part of its
insurance contract policy liabilities. Refer below for further information,
including the impact on earnings and the Group shareholders` fund.
Comparative information has been restated accordingly, apart from Group Equity
Value that has not been restated for the change in accounting policies based
on its immaterial impact on this performance measure.
Group Equity Value (GEV)
GEV is the aggregate of the following components:
* The embedded value of covered business, being the life insurance businesses
of the Group, which comprises the required capital supporting these operations
and the net present value of their in-force books of business (VIF);
* The fair value of other Group operations based on longer term assumptions,
which includes the investment management, capital markets, credit, short-term
insurance and the non-covered wealth management operations of the Group; and
* The fair value of discretionary and other capital.
GEV provides an indication of the value of the Group`s operations, but without
placing any value on future new covered business to be written by the Group`s
life insurance businesses. Sustainable return on GEV is the primary
performance benchmark used by the Group in evaluating the success of its
strategy to maximise shareholder value.

The GEV as at 30 June 2010 amounted to R50,2 billion, down 2% on the R51
billion at the end of 2009. On a per share basis GEV increased marginally from
2 473 cents to 2 479 cents at 30 June 2010, after allowing for the 104 cents
per share dividend paid during 2010. The Sanlam share price traded at an 8%
discount to GEV by close of trading on 30 June 2010, in line with the discount
at the end of 2009.
As a financial services organisation, the Group has a major exposure to
financial markets in that the shareholder capital portfolio is invested in
financial instruments and the valuation of the investment management
operations is driven by, amongst others, the level of assets under management.
The weak equity markets during the first half of 2010, depressed both the
investment return earned on the capital backing the covered business
operations and the growth in the Institutional cluster`s assets under
management. This had a negative impact on the growth in GEV per share since
December 2009. In the context of these conditions, the annualised return on
GEV (ROGEV) per share of 9,1% for the first six months of 2010 is an overall
satisfactory performance.

* Annualised
Covered business achieved an annualised return of 8,2% compared to 5,5% in the
first half of 2009. The return on covered business was positively impacted
relative to the first six months of 2009 by the following:
* Higher expected earnings from covered business (R1,1 billion in 2010
compared to R0,8 billion in 2009) based on the higher risk discount rate
applied to the calculation of the value of in-force business (VIF) at the end
of 2009 compared to 2008. The unwinding of VIF is commensurately higher in
2010 compared to 2009.
* Significantly lower economic assumption changes. Long-term interest rates,
and commensurately the risk discount rate assumption, increased by some 2%
during the first half of 2009, which decreased the valuation of VIF and
resulted in R1 billion negative economic assumption changes. Long-term
interest rates remained largely unchanged during 2010, which contributed to
R88 million positive economic assumption changes in 2010.
* The 16% growth in value of new business.
This was, however, to an extent offset by the following:
* An R844 million increase in negative investment variances on VIF and the
capital portfolio supporting these operations. This is attributable to
relatively weaker investment returns during the first half of 2010 compared to
the same period in 2009.
* A R207 million reduction in operating experience variances. Persistency
experience weakened at Employee Benefits and Sanlam Developing Markets, which
contributed to an overall R39 million negative persistency experience for the
Group in 2010 compared to marginally positive experience in the first half of
2009. Risk experience variances were negatively impacted (R29 million
reduction) by the high claims cycle in Employee Benefits and some
deterioration in Sanlam Personal Finance`s risk underwriting experience. The
higher effective tax rate at Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Developing
Markets during the first half of 2010 contributed to a reduction in the
working capital and other experience variances.
* A R49 million decrease in operating assumption changes. Sanlam Personal
Finance strengthened its assumptions basis for lapses of risk business in
older age categories, being the main contributor to the decline in operating
assumption changes.
The other Group operations yielded an overall annualised return of 12%, on a
similar level than the comparable period in 2009. The retail clusters recorded
strong growth, which was partially offset by a lower contribution from the
Institutional cluster. Most of Sanlam Personal Finance`s non-life operations
are performing well, which is reflected in strong earnings growth and a
commensurate increase in the valuation of these operations. Sanlam Developing
Markets` non-life performance is driven by an increase in the listed value of
its interests in Letshego and Funeral Services Group. The ROGEV of the
Institutional cluster was impacted by an increase in the working capital
requirements of its operations to support the growing cluster. The strong new
business flows into Sanlam UK`s non-life platforms supported a turnaround in
the valuation and ROGEV earnings of these operations, in particular Nucleus.
The 2009 comparative earnings were also negatively impacted by a required
write-down in the valuation of Principal following the financial markets
crisis, which partly reversed in 2010.
The return on discretionary and other capital was positively impacted relative
to 2009 by the switch in the RSA portfolio`s asset mix from equities to cash
as well as improved equity market performance in 2010 applicable to the
portion of discretionary and other capital held in the Botswana operations.

Core earnings
Core earnings comprise the net result from financial services (operating
profit) and net investment income earned on the shareholders` fund, but
exclude abnormal and non-recurring items as well as investment surpluses. Net
investment income includes dividends received from non-operating associated
companies and joint ventures, but excludes the equity-accounted retained
earnings.
Core earnings for the six months of R1 839 million are 2% up on 2009. The net
result from financial services increased by 14%, partially offset by a 25%
decline in net investment income. On a per share basis, core earnings
increased by 2%.
The net result from financial services is not directly comparable to the first
six months of 2009 due to the following:
* The 2009 results include a once-off release of expense over provisions at
Sanlam Investments of some R40 million after tax.
* The effective tax rate of Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Developing
Markets increased in 2010. This is in essence due to the effect of the
utilisation of available tax losses in the past. These losses have been fully
utilised in 2009, resulting in a normalised tax expense in 2010.
* Letshego`s equity-accounted earnings are included in the 2010 results. The
Group obtained significant influence over Letshego in the second half of 2009,
with its earnings commensurately only equity-accounted with effect from 1 July
2009.
Excluding these non-recurring items, the net result from financial services
increased by 25% on a comparable basis, a particularly pleasing result.
The table below provides an analysis of the net result from financial services
per business. The discussions that follow are based on the comparable
earnings.

* Sanlam Personal Finance`s net result from financial services for the six
months of R712 million is 11% up on 2009. Before tax and minority interests,
the gross result from financial services is 9% higher than in 2009. Market
related profit benefited from higher fund fees (based on the higher level of
assets under management), increased releases from the asset mismatch reserve
(based on the higher level of this reserve during the first half of 2010
compared to the same period in 2009 due largely to higher longer term interest
rates) and increased profits from Sanlam Personal Loans and Sanlam Home Loans
(sold after 30 June 2010) largely due to improved bad debt experience. Life
business profits were negatively impacted by worse risk underwriting
experience as well as increased new business strain emanating from the
increase in new life business volumes. Working capital profits were in line
with 2009, with the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates being
offset by a higher level of working capital cash.
* The Sanlam Developing Markets net result from financial services of R64
million is 2% up on 2009 (up 24% before tax and minority shareholders`
interest).
-The South African operations` gross contribution decreased by 23%,
primarily due to a strengthening of the persistency, premium collection and
claims experience basis at the end of 2009, with further strengthening in
2010.
- Botswana Life increased its pre-tax result from financial services by 59%.
Positive claims experience and a turnaround from annuity mismatch losses in
the first half of 2009 to profits in 2010 are the main contributors.
- The rest of the African operations reported earnings in line with 2009.
* Sanlam UK`s net result from financial services more than doubled from 2009,
notwithstanding the stronger rand exchange rate. Merchant Investors and Punter
Southall Group were the main contributors, but Principal and Buckles also
reported improved earnings.
* The Institutional cluster operations recorded a 3% increase in net result
from financial services, a 2% increase before tax and minorities.
- Sanlam Investments` net result from financial services of R238 million is
up 14% on the comparable period in 2009 (up 11% to R325 million before tax and
minorities). Fee income increased in line with higher assets under management,
supported by the higher average level of investment markets. Net performance
fees earned also recovered from a relatively low base in 2009, a particularly
satisfactory performance that reflects an outperformance of benchmarks across
a wide section of the business. The majority of businesses contributed to
performance fee income, but with a particularly strong contribution from
Sanlam Investment Management and SIM Global.
- Sanlam Employee Benefits` net result from financial services decreased by
5% from R65 million in 2009 to R62 million for the first half of 2010. This is
primarily attributable to worse claims experience emanating from the current
high claims cycle.
- The Capital Management business grouping includes the results of Sanlam
Capital Markets (the main contributor to the cluster`s results), Sanlam
Private Equity, Sanlam Properties and Sanlam Structured Solutions. The lack of
deal flow in particularly the market activity division of Sanlam Capital
Markets, contributed to a 24% decline in the net result from financial
services of this segment from R75 million to R57 million. Both Sanlam Private
Equity and Sanlam Properties recorded satisfactory growth. Sanlam Properties`
net result from financial services includes only property development profits
in 2010 after the disposal of the property management business to Vukile
effective 1 January 2010. A profit of R326 million was realised on the
disposal of the operations, which are reported outside of headline earnings.
* Santam reported excellent results for the first half of 2010, with its net
result from financial services increasing by 154%. Before tax and minorities,
the result from financial services is up 139% on 2009. Underwriting profit
increased more than fourfold following the improved claims experience.
Interest earned on working capital decreased by 6%, the combined result of
higher float balances, but lower short-term interest rates.
Net investment income declined by 25%. The main drivers of the decline were:
* A reduction in the size of the capital portfolio following corporate
activity during the second half of 2009 and the first six months of 2010. A
total of some R600 million was utilised for investments in Group operations
over this period. In addition, R866 million was utilised for share buy-backs
in 2010. This reduced net investment income by some R35 million.
* The reduction in short-term interest rates contributed to R60 million lower
return on the cash exposure of the capital backing Sanlam Life`s covered
business.
* Santam`s net investment income was similarly impacted by the lower short-
term interest rate environment.
Normalised headline earnings
Normalised headline earnings of R1 650 million are 2% higher than the
comparable period in 2009. The increase in normalised headline earnings is in
the main attributable to the following:
* An increase of 2% in core earnings as discussed above.
* Net investment surpluses in line with 2009.
* An increase in equity-accounted earnings, in part due to the inclusion of
earnings relating to the Vukile units received as consideration for the
disposal of the Sanlam Properties property management operations.
* The 29% increase in the secondary tax on companies (STC) charge due to a
higher level of dividends paid and a decrease in STC credits following the 10%
reduction in the equity exposure of the capital backing Sanlam Life`s covered
business at the end of June 2009 to release additional discretionary capital.
Business volumes
New business flows
New business volumes, excluding white label, decreased by 3% on the first six
months of 2009. Excluding the R2,7 billion new mandate awarded to Sanlam
Investment Management by the PIC in 2009 as well as rollovers of discontinued
single premium business in Sanlam Developing Markets, new business volumes
increased by 3% on a comparable basis.

Sanlam Personal Finance new business sales increased by 2% on 2009. This low
level of growth is largely attributable to a slowdown in Namibian collective
investments sales from the high base in 2009 and a decrease in sales of
Glacier money market solutions following lower short-term interest rates and
the shift to equity-based solutions. Excluding these two product lines, new
business volumes increased by a strong 18%.
* South African recurring premium sales increased by a healthy 13%, driven by
strong growth in risk business (up 17%) and ad hoc premium increases (up 52%).
Savings and retirement business recurring premium sales were marginally lower
than 2009 in the context of the continued pressure on disposable income. South
African single premium sales increased by 4%.
* Excluding Glacier money market sales, single premiums increased by 19%.
Namibia new business volumes decreased by 5% on 2009, but excluding collective
investments, they recorded a 5% increase in new sales volumes.
Sanlam Developing Markets inflows are 3% higher than 2009, excluding the
discontinued single premium business.
* South African inflows are 14% higher than the comparable period in 2009,
with the Sanlam Sky field channel and Safrican recording strong growth.
* African inflows are 10% lower than 2009. This is in the main attributable to
the strengthening of the rand exchange rate and a reduction in Botswana Life
annuity sales, which are negatively impacted by lower interest rates. This was
partly offset by good credit life and group life volumes. The other African
operations recorded strong growth on 2009.
* Shriram`s new business volumes increased by 58% on 2009, driven by strong
sales from the existing channel and credit life sales.
Sanlam UK recorded an excellent 57% increase in new business sales,
notwithstanding the strengthening of the rand against the pound. Both life and
investment business contributed to the growth. The improvement in investment
markets and economic conditions since the middle of 2009, albeit still
challenging, flowed through to higher sales and advisor productivity.
The Institutional cluster new business volumes are in line with 2009. A 62%
decrease in institutional collective investment scheme business (primarily
dividend income funds) hides an otherwise strong performance by the cluster.
Money market solutions were negatively impacted by the sharp decrease in short-
term interest rates. This product line is however low margin business and
accordingly does not have a significant impact on profitability. Segregated
fund flows increased by 16%, with Sanlam Multi Manager and Sanlam Private
Investments recording exceptional growth of 95% and 20%.
Sanlam Employee Benefits more than doubled its contribution, with recurring
premiums increasing by 20% and single premium sales increasing fourfold.
Santam recorded an 8% increase in net premium inflows over the first six
months of 2010. Market prices remain soft especially in commercial business,
putting pressure on premium rates.
Net fund flows
The Group remained successful in retaining funds under management and achieved
net inflows (excluding white label business) for the six months of R6,4
billion. This compares to net inflows of R9,9 billion in 2009, excluding the
R2,7 billion new PIC mandate and a low margin outflow of R4,5 billion at
Sanlam Private Investments in 2009. Net life inflows (excluding Employee
Benefits) performed well and increased by 44% on 2009. This is the combined
effect of strong new business volumes and good retention of existing funds.
Net investment business fund flows decreased from R5,4 billion in 2009 to R3,1
billion in 2010.
Net fund flows for the six months ended 30 June 2010

Net fund flows excluding white label 6 419 8 157
White label 230 (480)
Total net fund flows 6 649 7 677
Both Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Developing Markets achieved healthy
increases in net life business inflows. Sanlam Personal Finance`s net
investment flows, however, decreased by R1,7 billion compared to the first
half of 2009. This is primarily due to lower Namibia collective investment and
Glacier money market net inflows attributable to both lower new business
volumes and increased outflows. Sanlam Employee Benefits reported increased
net outflows due to the higher claims experience. Sanlam Investments net fund
flows were negatively impacted by the lower collective investments new
business volumes. The much improved claims experience at Santam supported a
strong increase in this business` contribution.
Value of new covered business
The value of new covered business written by the Group during the first six
months of 2010 is 16% up on the comparable period in 2009 (before and after
minorities). This growth is in line with the growth in new life business
volumes. Particularly satisfactory is the increase in new business margin from
2,41% in 2009 to 2,50% in 2010.

Solvency
All of the life insurance businesses within the Group were sufficiently
capitalised at the end of June 2010. The total capital of Sanlam Life
Insurance Limited, the holding company of the Group`s major life insurance
subsidiaries, amounted to R35 billion on 30 June 2010. Its admissible
regulatory capital at the end of June 2010 amounted to R23 billion, which
covered its regulatory Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) 2,9 times, compared
to 3,1 times on 31 December 2009. No policyholder portfolio held a negative
bonus stabilisation reserve in excess of 7,5% of policyholder liabilities at
the end of June 2010.
Santam`s capital (shareholders` funds including bonds) constituted 44% of net
earned premiums on 30 June 2010, which is at the higher end of the target
range of 35% to 45% set by Santam.
FitchRatings has affirmed the following ratings of the Group in 2010 and
changed the outlook from negative to stable:
Sanlam Limited:
* National Long-term: AA- (zaf)
Sanlam Life Insurance Limited:
* National Insurer Financial Strength: AA+ (zaf)
* National Long-term: AA (zaf)
* National Short-term: F1+ (zaf)
* Subordinated debt: A+ (zaf)
Santam Limited:
* National Insurer Financial Strength: AA+ (zaf)
* National Long-term: AA (zaf)

Dividend
No interim dividend has been declared. It is Sanlam`s practice to pay only an
annual dividend, given the cost associated with the distribution of a dividend
to our large shareholder base.

Sanlam Group interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June
2010
Accounting policies and basis of presentation
The accounting policies adopted for purposes of the financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), specifically
IAS 34 on interim financial reporting, and with applicable legislation. The
condensed financial statements are presented in terms of IAS 34, with
additional disclosure where applicable, using accounting policies consistent
with those applied in the 2009 financial statements, apart from the changes
indicated below. The policy liabilities and profit entitlement rules are
determined in accordance with prevailing legislation, generally accepted
actuarial practice and the stipulations contained in the demutualisation
proposal. There have been no material changes in the financial soundness
valuation basis since 31 December 2009, apart from changes in the economic
assumptions and change in accounting policy for Channel Life`s insurance
contracts, as set out below.
The basis of preparation and presentation of the shareholders` information is
also consistent with that applied in the 2009 financial statements, apart from
the following change in segmental reporting:
* The Investment Management and Capital Markets segments were restructured.
Sanlam Private Equity, Sanlam Properties (excluding the property management
operations that were reallocated to the corporate segment) and Sanlam
Structured Solutions were reallocated from Sanlam Investments and combined
with Sanlam Capital Markets to form the new Capital Management segment.
Comparative information has been restated accordingly. The impact on the
applicable segments` results was immaterial.
Application of new and revised IFRSs and interpretations
The following new or revised IFRSs and interpretations are applied in the
Group`s 2010 financial year:
* IAS 27 Amended Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
* IAS 39 Amended Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible
Hedged Items
* IFRS 3 Revised Business Combinations
* IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners
* IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers
* April 2009 Improvements to IFRS
* Amendments to IFRS 2: Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions
* AC 504: IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding
Requirements and their Interaction in a South African Pension Fund Environment
The application of these standards and interpretations did not have a
significant impact on the Group`s reported results and cash flows for the six
months ended 30 June 2010 and the financial position at 30 June 2010.
The following new or revised IFRSs and interpretations have effective dates
applicable to future financial years and have not been early adopted:
* Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights Issues (effective 1 February
2010)
* IAS 24 revised - Related Party Disclosures (effective 1 January 2011)
* IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2013)
* IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
(effective 1 July 2010)
* Amendments to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
(effective 1 January 2011)
* May 2010 Improvements to IFRS (mostly effective 1 January 2011)
The application of these revised standards and interpretations in future
financial reporting periods is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Group`s reported results, financial position and cash flows.
Change in accounting policies
Sanlam Sky Solutions and Channel Life were integrated into a single business
unit after the acquisition of the minority shareholder interest in Channel
Life during 2009. As part of the integration, Channel Life`s accounting
policies for insurance contracts have been aligned with that of the Sanlam
Group by eliminating negative rand reserves held as part of its insurance
contract policy liabilities. The alignment of the accounting policies results
in a more consistent presentation of the Sanlam Group results.
External audit review
The appointed external auditors, Ernst & Young Inc, reviewed the condensed
statement of financial position of the Sanlam Group as at 30 June 2010 and the
related condensed statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and other explanatory notes,
from which this information has been extracted. The review was conducted in
accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, `Review
of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity`.
The external auditors have also conducted a limited assurance review of the
Sanlam Group Shareholders` Information for the six months ended 30 June 2010,
which comprises the report on group equity value, shareholders` fund at fair
value, shareholders` fund income statement and explanatory notes and report on
embedded value of covered business and related notes, in accordance with the
International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 `Assurance Engagements
Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information`, from which
this information has been extracted.
Copies of the unqualified reports of Ernst & Young Inc. are available for
inspection at the registered office of the company.

3. Normalised diluted earnings per share
In terms of IFRS, the policyholders` fund`s investments in Sanlam shares,
Group subsidiaries and associated companies, are not reflected as equity
investments in the Sanlam balance sheet, but deducted in full from equity on
consolidation (in respect of Sanlam shares) or reflected at net asset value
(in respect of subsidiaries and associated companies). The valuation of the
related policy liabilities however includes the fair value of these shares,
resulting in a mismatch between policy liabilities and policyholder
investments, with a consequential impact on the Group`s earnings. The number
of shares in issue must also be reduced with the treasury shares held by the
policyholders` fund for the calculation of IFRS basic and diluted earnings
per share. This is, in management`s view, not a true representation of the
earnings attributable to the Group`s shareholders, specifically in instances
where the share prices and/or the number of shares held by the
policyholders` fund varies significantly. The Group therefore calculates
normalised diluted earnings per share to eliminate the impact of investments
in Sanlam shares, Group subsidiaries and associated companies held by the
policyholders` fund.

8. Change in accounting policies
Channel Life`s accounting policies for insurance contracts have been aligned
with the rest of the Sanlam Group. In terms of the amended accounting
policies, no negative rand reserves are recognised on an individual policy
level. Channel Life`s capital and economic bases have also been aligned with
that of SDM Limited. The impact of the aforementioned amendments was to reduce
embedded value by R49 million at 1 January 2010 as follows:
- A R286 million reduction in required capital with a commensurate R36 million
decrease in the cost of capital.
- The gross value of in force business increased by R201 million commensurate
with an increase in future taxable income following the elimination of the
negative rand reserves.
Comparative information has not been restated based on the immaterial impact
of the changes on the embedded value of covered business, embedded value
earnings and value of new business. The full impact is recognised as a change
to the opening embedded value of covered business on 1 January 2010.
