COMMENTS ON RESULTS                                                             
In its second year as a standalone short-term insurance business Indequity      
is once again pleased to report very satisfactory results.  Group profit        
before taxation increased from R2,9 million in 2010 to R5 million in 2011.      
As our stakeholders may recall, we do not measure our progress and our          
success by the size of our operation, but rather by how successfully we         
utilize the capital resources at our disposal.  For this reason, one of the     
primary yardsticks we use in measuring our performance is the return on         
capital achieved.  In the year under review our pre-taxation return on          
capital was an outstanding 50,8% for Indequity Group and an equally             
pleasing 40,7% for Indequity Specialised Insurance Ltd, the Group`s             
licensed short-term insurer.  Also noteworthy is the fact that the              
insurance operations generated cash of R5,5 million for the year.               
INSURANCE OPERATIONS                                                            
As any television viewer may testify, the insurance marketplace has become      
crowded and fiercely competitive.  As a result, premiums are under constant     
pressure with insurance companies using any and all tactics in order to         
lure clients.  Against this background, Indequity has remained focused on       
attracting the "right" business at sensible premiums.  Consequently, growth     
in turnover was limited to 12,8% over the prior year.  Although this may        
appear disappointing, we believe that our disciplined approach is the only      
prudent long term strategy to build and maintain a superior quality             
insurance business.                                                             
With the market pressure on premiums, cost control becomes vitally              
important.  Indequity has succeeded remarkably in this arena with claims        
costs as a percentage of net premium written being 47,2% for the year.          
This should be compared with industry averages of approximately 61% for the     
same period-a truly outstanding performance!                                    
Administration expenses as a percentage of net premium written also             
improved by approximately 7% over 2010.                                         
As has become customary, we again wish to summarize the progress made by        
the insurance business since commencement of the business in 2002, through      
the following graph and statistics:

PROSPECTS                                                                       
As far as the general personal lines and business insurance operations are      
concerned, we anticipate that the business environment will remain highly       
competitive.  Therefore, growth will remain under pressure and the same         
business considerations as outlined above will continue to be pertinent.        
We again commit to place emphasis on building a quality long-term               
sustainable business and as a result we will continue to follow the same        
disciplined approach in these operations, than we had in the past.              
In order to continue to deliver superior growth and the corresponding           
financial results for our stakeholders, management have spent considerable      
time over the past year in developing novel, innovative products to             
compliment the Group`s existing product offerings.  The first of these was      
launched early November 2011.                                                   
Although it is still in its infant phase, the market response to what we        
believe is a truly revolutionary product, has been quite phenomenal.            
Although we realize that converting this optimism into tangible results         
will require huge input, we are nevertheless very excited about the longer      
term potential of this new product offering for our stakeholders.               
In conclusion, now that group operations have been simplified and with the      
solid foundation that has to date been established, management are              
optimistic about the group`s future prospects and intend to build on the        
successes of the past.                                                          
CONCLUSION                                                                      
We wish to express our gratitude to our stakeholders for their continued        
support and faith in Indequity and its management over many years.  We          
trust that their patience will be well rewarded over time.                      
We also wish to thank our management and employees for their commitment,        
dedication and perseverance without which such outstanding results would        
not have materialized.                                                          
Finally, we wish to express our sincerest gratitude to our Chairman Mr.         
Chris Meyer, who has indicated his intention to step down as Chairman and       
as a director of Indequity at the company`s following AGM.  Chris has been      
a cornerstone of Indequity since its establishment and has been a guiding       
light in the Group`s evolution and success.  We wish to thank him for his       
invaluable guidance, wisdom and support over many years and wish him the        
very best in his subsequent endeavors.
