* The year ended 31 December 2010 has been restated to reflect Nordic as

Basis of preparation                                                            
The reconciliation of adjusted operating profit has been prepared so as to      
reflect the directors` view of the underlying long-term performance of the      
Group. The statement reconciles adjusted operating profit to profit after tax   
as reported under IFRS as adopted by the EU.                                    
For core life assurance and general insurance businesses, adjusted operating    
profit is based on a long-term investment return, including investment returns  
on life funds` investments in Group equity and debt instruments, and is stated  
net of income tax attributable to policyholder returns. For the US Asset        
Management business it includes compensation costs in respect of certain long-  
term incentive schemes defined as non-controlling interests in accordance with  
IFRS. For all core businesses, adjusted operating profit excludes goodwill      
impairment, the impact of acquisition accounting, revaluations of put options   
related to long-term incentive schemes, profit/(loss) on acquisition/disposal   
of subsidiaries, associated undertakings and strategic investments, and fair    
value profits/(losses) on certain Group debt movements but includes dividends   
declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities. Bermuda, which  
is non-core, and Nordic and US Life, which are discontinued and non-core, are   
not included in adjusted operating profit.                                      
Adjusted operating earnings per share is calculated on the same basis as        
adjusted operating profit. It is stated after tax attributable to adjusted      
operating profit and non-controlling interests. It excludes income              
attributable to Black Economic Empowerment trusts of listed subsidiaries. The   
calculation of the adjusted weighted average number of shares includes own      
shares held in policyholders` funds and Black Economic Empowerment trusts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                  
For the year ended 31 December 2011                                             
A1: Accounting policies                                                         
Basis of preparation                                                            
The consolidated financial information contained herein has been prepared in    
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International     
Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the EU. The Group`s results for the    
year ended 31 December 2011 and the position at that date have been prepared    
using accounting policies consistent with those applied in the preparation of   
the Group`s 2010 Annual Report and Accounts.                                    
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern   
basis which the directors believe to be appropriate.                            
The financial information set out herein does not constitute the Company`s      
statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2011 or 2010. Statutory      
accounts for 2010 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and those  
for 2011 will be delivered in due course. The auditor has reported on those     
accounts; the reports were (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include references to  
any matters to which the auditor draws attention by way of emphasis without     
qualifying the reports, and (iii) did not contain statements under section      
498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.                                        
A2: Significant corporate activity and business changes                         
Disposal of US Life                                                             
As previously reported at 31 December 2010 the Group was in advanced stage      
negotiations for the disposal of its life assurance operations in the United    
States, which represented almost the entirety of the US Life operating          
segment. Following US regulatory approval the disposal of US Life was           
completed on 7 April 2011. The sale represented the Group`s exit from the life  
assurance market in the United States and therefore met the criteria of a       
discontinued operation. For the purposes of adjusted operating profit US Life   
has been classified as a discontinued and non-core operation and consequently   
is not included.                                                                
Skandia Liv and the disposal of Nordic                                          
In line with previous periods the consolidated financial statements do not      
include the company Livforsakringsaktiebolaget Skandia (Skandia Liv) and its    
subsidiaries. Skandia Liv`s business is a mutual life assurance company that    
is highly regulated within a strict legal framework for mutual life assurance   
companies in Sweden, particularly in relation to its relationship with its      
holding company. The Group does not have the power to control Skandia Liv in    
such a way as to access the benefits usually associated with share ownership    
due to the legal and regulatory restrictions. Those benefits accrue to the      
policyholders of Skandia Liv. Consequently, Skandia Liv is not consolidated.    
The shares in Skandia Liv are accounted for in accordance with the accounting   
policies for equity financial instruments.                                      
As announced on 15 December 2011, the Group has agreed to sell the Nordic       
business unit comprising the life assurance, asset management and banking       
operations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway to Skandia Liv. As a result the        
assets and liabilities of the Nordic disposal group have been classified as     
held for sale in the statement of financial position for the current year in    
accordance with IFRS 5. This sale will result in the Group`s exit from the      
life assurance, asset management and banking operations in the Nordic region    
and therefore meets the criteria of a discontinued operation. Consequently the  
comparative information in the income statement, statement of comprehensive     
income, statement of cash flows and the related notes have been restated where  
applicable to reflect this. For the purposes of adjusted operating profit,      
Nordic has been reclassified as a discontinued and non-core operation for the   
year ended 31 December 2011 with the comparative restated accordingly.          
Disposal of the Finnish branch in Wealth Management                             
On 21 December 2011 the Group announced that it had agreed terms to sell the    
Finnish branch of Wealth Management to OP-Pohjola osk. As a result of this the  
assets and liabilities of the Finnish branch have been classified as held for   
sale in the statement of financial position for the current year.               
Further details of the impact for discontinued operations and disposal groups   
are provided in notes H1 and H2. In addition, certain comparative information   
has been revised in accordance with changes to presentation made in the         
current year.                                                                   
Consolidation of other African businesses                                       
In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31        
December 2010 the Emerging Markets segment included its South African and       
Namibian businesses but excluded all other African businesses. This was         
consistent with prior periods. Nedbank and Mutual & Federal consolidated the    
results of all African businesses under their control.                          
Following a period of greater political and currency stability in Zimbabwe and  
an expectation that the Group will be able to extract benefits from its         
Zimbabwean business the Group re-evaluated its ability to control this          
business within the meaning of accounting standards. As a result the Group`s    
Zimbabwean business has been consolidated for the first time together with      
operations in Kenya, Malawi, Swaziland and Nigeria (collectively the other      
African businesses), with this being effective from 1 January 2011.             
The acquisition has been accounted for at the net asset value of the            
underlying businesses on 1 January 2011, being the fair value of the Group`s    
investment in these operations for the assets and liabilities acquired. Deemed  
consideration for the acquisition is the fair value of the Group`s investment   
immediately prior to control. The result was a gain for the Group in these      
businesses that is accounted for as a profit on acquisition in the year. This   
profit has been excluded from adjusted operating profit. On initial             
recognition the assets directly associated with other African businesses        
consisted of GBP290 million of investment property, GBP576 million of           
investments and securities and GBP115 million of other assets, with             
liabilities at this time being GBP624 million of policyholder liabilities and   
GBP108 million of other liabilities.                                            
The trading results of the other African businesses for the year ending 31      
December 2011 have been included in the Group`s income statement and adjusted   
operating profit. In anticipation of the indigenisation of the Zimbabwe         
business a non-controlling interest adjustment has been included for this       
operation in respect of adjusted operating profit to reflect the most likely    
expected indigenous shareholding to be provided. At 31 December 2011 the Group  
retained a 100% holding in the ordinary shares of Zimbabwe and consequently     
the operation has been consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary for the        
purposes of IFRS reporting.                                                     
B: Segment information                                                          
B1: Basis of segmentation                                                       
The Group`s results are analysed and reported on a basis consistent with the    
way that management and the Board of Directors considers information when       
making operating decisions and the basis on which resources are allocated and   
performance assessed by management and the Board of Directors, being in line    
with that reported in the previous financial year. This information is          
presented to the Board in local currency, however this note is presented in     
pounds sterling, the presentation currency of the Group. As detailed in note    
A2, Nordic has been reclassified as discontinued and as a result also non-      
core, with the comparative segment information restated accordingly, resulting  
in a reduction in adjusted operating profit before tax and non-controlling      
interests of GBP110 million for the year ended 31 December 2010.                
There are four principal business activities from which the Group generates     
revenues. These are life assurance (premium income), asset management business  
(fee and commission income), banking (banking interest receivable) and general  
insurance (premium income). The revenues generated in each reported segment     
can be seen in the analysis of profits and losses in note B2.                   
The information reflects the measures of profit and loss, assets and            
liabilities for each operating segment as regularly provided to management and  
the Board of Directors. There are no differences between the measurement of     
the assets and liabilities reflected in the primary statements and that         
reported for the segments. A reconciliation between the segment revenues and    
expenses and the Group`s revenues and expenses is shown in note B2.             
In line with internal reporting, assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses      
that are not directly attributable to a particular segment are allocated        
between segments where appropriate and where there is a reasonable basis for    
doing so. The Group accounts for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if     
the transactions were with third parties at current market prices. Given the    
nature of the operations, there are no major customers within any of the        
segments.                                                                       
The types of products and services from which each operating segment derives    
its revenues are as follows:                                                    
Core operations                                                                 
Long Term Savings

core)                                                                           
US Life - life assurance (discontinued and non-core)                            
Income statement segmentation                                                   
For the IFRS income statement Nordic and US Life have been classified as        
discontinued operations. All other businesses including Bermuda are classified  
as continuing.                                                                  
The profits of the Nordic, US Life and Bermuda businesses are excluded in       
determining adjusting operating profit in both periods, on the basis that they  
are either discontinued (Nordic and US Life) or non-core (Bermuda).             
Statement of financial position segmentation                                    
The segmental analysis of the statement of financial position at both 31        
December 2011 and 31 December 2010 discloses Bermuda as non-core, consistent    
with the treatment of the business for AOP purposes.                            
Nordic is disclosed as discontinued in the statement of financial position      
consistent with the income statement classification. The agreement to dispose   
of Nordic announced on 15 December 2011 resulted in the assets and liabilities  
of the business being classified as held for sale at 31 December 2011. For the  
corresponding period Nordic has been reported on a line by line basis.          
US Life is disclosed as discontinued at 31 December 2010, being classified as   
held for sale. The disposal of US Life was completed on 7 April 2011.           
Adjusted operating profit is one of the key measures reported to the Group`s    
management and Board of Directors for their consideration in the allocation of  
resources to and the review of performance of the segments. The Group utilises  
additional measures to assess the performance of each of the segments, in       
particular the level of net client cash flows and funds under management.       
Additional performance measures considered by management and the Board of       
Directors in assessing the performance of the segments can be found in the      
Market Consistent Embedded Value basis supplementary information.               
In the analysis that follows, consolidation adjustments include the             
elimination of inter-segment revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities         
together with the impacts of the consolidation of the Group`s interest in unit  
trusts, mutual funds and similar entities.

(b) Goodwill impairment and impact of acquisition accounting                    
Acquisition date deferred acquisition costs and deferred revenues are not       
recognised. These are reversed in the acquisition statement of financial        
position and replaced by goodwill, other intangible assets and the value of     
the acquired present value of in-force business (`acquired PVIF`). In           
determining its adjusted operating profit the Group recognises deferred         
revenue and acquisition costs in relation to policies sold by acquired          
businesses pre-acquisition, and excludes the impairment of goodwill and the     
amortisation of acquired other intangibles and acquired PVIF and the movements  
in certain acquisition date provisions.                                         
Goodwill impairment and acquisition accounting adjustments to adjusted          
operating profit are summarised below:

In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31        
December 2010 the Emerging Markets segment included the South African and       
Namibian businesses but excluded all other African businesses. This was         
consistent with prior periods. Following a period of greater political and      
currency stability in Zimbabwe and an expectation that the Group will be able   
to extract benefits from its Zimbabwean business it has been consolidated for   
the first time together with operations in Kenya, Malawi, Swaziland and         
Nigeria. Further detail has been provided in note A2.                           
On 30 December 2011 USAM disposed of Lincluden Management Ltd, a subsidiary,    
at a profit of GBP2 million. On 27 August 2010 USAM disposed of Thomson,        
Horstmann & Bryant, a subsidiary, for a loss of GBP21 million.                  
(d) Short-term fluctuations in investment return                                
Profit before tax includes actual investment returns earned on the shareholder  
assets of the Group`s life assurance and general insurance businesses.          
Adjusted operating profit is stated after recalculating shareholder asset       
investment returns based on a long-term investment return rate. The difference  
between the actual and the long-term investment returns are short-term          
fluctuations in investment return.                                              
Long-term rates of return are based on achieved rates of return appropriate to  
the underlying asset base, adjusted for current inflation expectations,         
default assumptions, costs of investment management and consensus economic      
investment forecasts. The long-term rates of return are reviewed frequently,    
usually annually, for appropriateness. These rates of return have been          
selected with a view to ensuring that returns credited to adjusted operating    
profit are consistent with the actual returns expected to be earned over the    
long-term.                                                                      
For Emerging Markets, the return is applied to an average value of investible   
shareholders` assets, adjusted for net fund flows. For Retail Europe and        
Wealth Management, the return is applied to average investible assets. For M&F  
general insurance business, the return is an average value of investible        
assets supporting shareholders` funds and insurance liabilities, adjusted for   
net fund flows.

* Wealth Management long-term investment return includes GBP65 million (2010:

** The year ended 31 December 2010 has been restated to reflect Nordic as       
discontinued and non-core.                                                      
(e) Investment return adjustment for Group equity and debt instruments held in  
life funds                                                                      
Adjusted operating profit includes investment returns on policyholder           
investments in Group equity and debt instruments held by the Group`s life       
funds. These include investments in the Company`s ordinary shares, and the      
subordinated liabilities and ordinary securities of Nedbank. These investment   
returns are eliminated within the consolidated income statement in arriving at  
profit before tax, but are included in adjusted operating profit. In 2011 the   
investment return adjustment increased adjusted operating profit by GBP71       
million (2010: increase of GBP10 million).                                      
(f) Dividends declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities    
Dividends declared to the holders of the Group`s perpetual preferred callable   
securities were GBP44 million in the year ended 31 December 2011 (2010: GBP44   
million). These are recognised in finance costs on an accruals basis for the    
purpose of determining adjusted operating profit. In the IFRS financial         
statements this cost is recognised in equity.                                   
(g) US Asset Management equity plans and non-controlling interests              
US Asset Management has a number of long-term incentive arrangements with       
senior employees in its asset management affiliates.                            
In accordance with IFRS requirements the cost of these schemes is disclosed as  
being attributable to non-controlling interests. However, this is treated as a  
compensation expense in determining adjusted operating profit. The loss         
recognised in 2011 was GBP6 million (2010: loss GBP9 million).                  
The Group has issued put options to senior employees as part of some of its US  
affiliate incentive schemes. The impact of revaluing these instruments is       
recognised in accordance with IFRS, but excluded from adjusted operating        
profit. At 31 December 2011 these instruments were revalued, the impact of      
which was a profit of GBP10 million (2010: profit GBP3 million).                
(h) Credit-related fair value gains and losses on Group debt instruments        
The widening of credit spread of the Group`s debt instruments in the market     
price has resulted in gains of GBP27 million (2010: losses due to narrowing of  
GBP183 million) on Other operating segments and losses of GBP4 million (2010:   
losses of GBP20 million) in Nedbank being recorded in the Group`s income        
statement for those instruments that are recorded at fair value.                
In the directors` view, such movements are not reflective of the underlying     
performance of the Group and will reverse over time. They have therefore been   
excluded from adjusted operating profit.

C3: Earnings and earnings per share                                             
(a) Basic and diluted earnings per share                                        
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the           
financial year attributable to ordinary equity shareholders by the weighted     
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year excluding own        
shares held in policyholder funds, ESOP trusts, Black Economic Empowerment      
trusts and other related undertakings.

As a consequence of the exchange control arrangements in place in certain       
African territories, dividends to ordinary equity holders on the branch         
registers of 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.                                                   
In March and November 2011, GBP22 million and GBP22 million respectively were   
declared and paid to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities (March  
2010: GBP22 million and November 2010: GBP22 million).                          
A final dividend of 3.5 pence per 10p share has been recommended by the         
directors. Subject to shareholders` approval, the dividend will be paid on 7    
June 2012 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 20 April  
2012. The dividend will absorb an estimated GBP175 million of shareholders`     
funds. The Company is not planning to offer a scrip dividend alternative.       
In addition the Company announced on 3 February 2012 that as part of the        
proposed sale of the Nordic business unit a special dividend of 18.0 pence per  
10p share has been recommended by the directors. The special dividend will be   
paid on 7 June 2012 to shareholders on the register at the close of business

Provisions in relation to client compensation were GBP43 million (2010: GBP39   
million), primarily relating to possible mis-selling of guarantee contracts in  
Wealth Management. GBP1 million (2010: GBP1 million) is estimated to be         
payable after more than one year.                                               
The liability for long service leave of GBP47 million (2010: GBP57 million)     
relates to provision for staff payments for long serving employees, all of      
which is estimated to be payable in less than one year.                         
Provisions in relation to restructuring were GBP37 million (2010: GBP34         
million), primarily in respect of consolidation and related office relocation   
for elements of Wealth Management. GBP21 million (2010: GBP30 million) is       
estimated to be payable after more than one year.                               
The provision for donations is held by Long-Term Savings in respect of South    
African operations, relating to the payment of charitable donations in future   
periods to which the Group is committed to use these funds. The funds were      
made available on the closure of the Group`s unclaimed shares trusts which      
were set up as part of the demutualisation in 1999 and closed in 2006, with     
GBP78 million (2010: GBP70 million) estimated to be payable after more than     
one year.                                                                       
Other provisions include provisions for long-term staff benefits and legal      
fees.                                                                           
Where material, provisions are discounted at discount rates specific to the     
risks inherent in the liability. The timing and final amounts of payments in    
respect of some of the provisions, particularly those in respect of litigation  
claims and similar actions against the Group, are uncertain and could result    
in adjustments to the amounts recorded. Of the total provisions recorded        
above, GBP129 million (2010: GBP163 million) is estimated to be payable after   
more than one year.

The non-controlling interests share of profit for the financial year has been   
calculated on the basis of the Group`s effective ownership of the subsidiaries  
in which it does not own 100% of the ordinary equity. The principal             
subsidiaries where a non-controlling interest exists are the Group`s banking    
business in South Africa and, prior to the acquisition of the non-controlling   
interest in Mutual & Federal in February 2010 (see F2(b)), the general          
insurance business in South Africa. For the year ended 31 December 2011 the     
non-controlling interests attributable to ordinary shares was GBP238 million    
(2010: GBP196 million).

The Group uses revised weighted average effective ownership interests when      
calculating the non-controllable interest applicable to the adjusted operating  
profit of its South Africa banking and, prior to the acquisition of the non-    
controlling interest in February 2010, general insurance businesses. This       
reflects the legal ownership of these businesses following the implementation   
for Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) schemes in 2005. In accordance with IFRS   
accounting rules the shares issued for BEE purposes are deemed to be, in        
substance, options. Therefore the effective ownership interest of the           
minorities reflected in arriving at profit after tax in the consolidated        
income statement is lower than that applied in arriving at adjusted operating   
profit after tax. In 2011 the increase in adjusted operating profit             
attributable to non-controlling interests as a result of this was GBP22         
million (2010: GBP22 million).

Acquisition of non-controlling interest in Mutual & Federal                     
On 5 February 2010, the Group completed the acquisition of the remaining non-   
controlling shareholdings in Mutual & Federal Insurance Company Limited,        
following the fulfilment of all outstanding conditions precedent. On 8          
February 2010, 147,313,449 new Old Mutual plc ordinary shares were issued in    
exchange for Mutual & Federal shares and listed on the London Stock Exchange,   
of which 68,378,851 were issued to Black Economic Empowerment trusts and

On 8 February 2010 Nedbank announced that it had obtained regulatory approval   
for the acquisition of the remaining 49.9% indirect interest in Imperial Bank   
Limited thereby satisfying all conditions precedent for the acquisition.        
The purchase consideration was approximately GBP162 million (GBP155 million     
plus a Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate (JIBAR) f actor applied up to 5       
February 2010) which was settled in four instalments out of existing cash       
resources of Nedbank Limited. The total amount, which included interest at the  
three month JIBAR, amounted to GBP165 million.

1. 200 million R10 preference shares issued by Nedbank Limited (Nedbank), the   
Group`s banking subsidiary. These shares are non-redeemable and non-            
cumulative and pay a cash dividend equivalent to 75% of the prime overdraft     
interest rate of Nedbank. Preference shareholders are only entitled to vote     
during periods when a dividend or any part of it remains unpaid after the due   
date for payment or when resolutions are proposed that directly affect any      
rights attaching to the shares or the rights of the holders. Preference         
shareholders will be entitled to receive their dividends in priority to any     
payment of dividends made in respect of any other class of Nedbank`s shares.    
2. 77.3 million R10 preference shares issued at R10.68 per share by Nedbank on

3. US$750 million guaranteed cumulative perpetual preference securities issued  
on 19 May 2003 by Old Mutual Capital Funding L.P., a subsidiary of the Group.   
Subject to certain limitations, holders of these securities are entitled to     
receive preferential cash distributions at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum       
payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. The Group may defer payment of         
distributions at its sole discretion, but such an act may restrict Old Mutual   
plc from paying dividends on its ordinary shares for a period of 12 months.     
Arrears of distributions are payable quarterly cumulatively only on redemption  
of the securities or at the Group`s option. The securities are perpetual, but   
may be redeemed at the discretion of the Group from 22 December 2008.

The Group has pledged debt securities amounting to GBP1,196 million (2010:      
GBP1,379 million) as collateral for deposits received under re- purchase        
agreements. These amounts represent assets that have been transferred but do    
not qualify for derecognition under IAS 39. These transactions are entered      
into under terms and conditions that are standard industry practice to          
securities borrowing and lending activities.                                    
Contingent liabilities - tax                                                    
The Revenue authorities in the principle jurisdictions in which the Group       
operates (South Africa and the United Kingdom) are reviewing certain historic   
transactions undertaken and tax law interpretations made by the Group. More     
generally the Group is also experiencing increased review by fiscal             
authorities of routine matters. Whilst provisions are made for liabilities      
which might reasonably be expected to materialise, and whether or not legal     
proceedings will be required to resolve them, the outcome is uncertain at this  
stage.                                                                          
Nedbank structured financing                                                    
Historically the Group`s South African banking business entered into            
structured finance transactions with third parties using the tax base of these  
companies. Pursuant to the terms of the majority of these transactions, the     
underlying third-party has contractually agreed to accept the risk of any tax   
being imposed by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), although the         
obligation to pay in the first instance rests with the Group. It is only in     
limited cases where, for example, the credit quality of a client becomes        
doubtful, or where the client has specifically contracted out of the re-        
pricing of additional taxes, that the recovery from a client could be less      
than the liability that could arise on assessment, in which case provisions     
are made. SARS has examined the tax aspects of some of these types of           
structures and SARS could assess these structures in a manner different to      
that initially envisaged by the contracting parties. As a result the Group      
could be obliged to pay additional amounts to SARS and recover these from       
clients under the applicable contractual arrangements.                          
Nedbank litigation                                                              
There are a number of legal or potential claims against Nedbank and its         
subsidiary companies, the outcome of which cannot at present be foreseen. The   
largest of these potential actions is a claim in the High Court for R1.3        
billion against Nedbank by certain shareholders in Pinnacle Point Group         
Limited, alleging that Nedbank had a legal duty of care to them arising from a  
share swap transaction.                                                         
During 2011 further actions were instituted against Nedbank by other            
stakeholders relating to this same issue. Nedbank and its legal advisers        
remain of the opinion that the claims are extremely ambitious and that the      
claimants will have great difficulty succeeding.                                
Nedbank Securitisations                                                         
The Group through Nedbank uses securitisation primarily as a funding            
diversification tool and to add flexibility in mitigating structural liquidity  
risk. Nedbank currently has two active traditional securitisation               
transactions:

(ABCP) programme launched in 2004; and                                          
* GreenHouse Funding (Pty) Limited, Series 1 (GreenHouse), a residential        
mortgage-backed securitisation programme launched in December 2007.             
During October 2011 Octane ABS 1(Pty) Limited (Octane), a securitisation of     
motor vehicle loans launched in 2007, exercised its clean up call option. The   
remaining portfolio of securitised motor vehicle loans were acquired by         
Nedbank at fair value and the proceeds used by Octane to fully redeem all

funding to South African corporates. These assets are funded through the        
issuance of short-dated investment-grade commercial paper to institutional      
investors. All the commercial paper issued by Synthesis is assigned the         
highest short-term RSA local-currency credit rating by Fitch, and is listed on  
JSE Limited.                                                                    
Under GreenHouse Series 1, R2 billion of residential mortgages originated by    
Nedbank were securitised. The commercial paper issued by GreenHouse has been    
assigned credit ratings by both Fitch and Moody`s and is listed on JSE          
Limited. Fitch placed the GreenHouse commercial paper on rating watch negative  
as a result of changes it is effecting to its rating criteria for South         
African residential mortgage backed securities transactions. This process is    
ongoing. As the GreenHouse transaction was undertaken for funding and           
liquidity purposes, only the senior notes were placed with third party          
investors and the junior notes and subordinated loans to the special purpose    
entity were retained by Nedbank. The assets transferred to the special purpose  
entity have continued to be recognised as financial assets. GreenHouse          
continues to direct all capital repayments it receives on the residential       
mortgage portfolio to noteholders as a result of the stop purchase activated    
by a breach of the arrear trigger in 2010. The GreenHouse commercial paper is   
scheduled to be redeemed in November 2012.

On 18 January 2012 the Group redeemed the remaining EUR200 million of the       
EUR750 million Lower Tier 2 Bond which had not been repaid during 2011. On 3    
February 2012, the Group issued a circular in respect of the proposed disposal  
of the Nordic business unit. Additional details have been provided in notes     
A2, H1 and H2. On 7 February 2012 the Group announced that it had sold Dwight   
Asset Management subject to certain conditions. On 22 February 2012 the Group   
announced that a preliminary non-binding offer had been accepted by Ecobank     
Transnational Incorporated for the acquisition of Oceanic Life. In March 2012   
Bermuda enhanced its hedging strategy by implementing an option based hedging   
arrangement. On 8 March 2012 final regulatory approval was received in respect  
of the disposal of the Nordic business unit.

The results of the Group`s Swedish, Danish and Norwegian life businesses,       
collectively Nordic, and United States life business, US Life, are shown as

sale. The disposal of US Life was completed on 7 April 2011 following           
regulatory approval, and has been reported up until that date.                  
Analysis of the results is given below.

H3: Contingent liabilities in respect of the disposal of US Life                
Following completion of the disposal of US Life to the Harbinger group          
(`Harbinger`) on 7 April 2011, the Group has retained certain residual          
commitments and contingent liabilities. These relate to sale warranties and     
indemnities that are typical in transactions of this nature including in        
respect of litigation (including class actions) and regulatory enforcement      
actions arising from events occurring before completion. The specific           
conditions are in effect for varying periods of time, the longest dated of      
these will expire on 31 December 2015. The main elements are summarised below:  
- Harbinger intends to establish certain internal reinsurance arrangements      
which are subject to regulatory approval. In the event that regulatory          
approval of the full amount of reinsurance is not forthcoming there is          
potential for a reduction in the purchase price, up to a maximum of US$50       
million.                                                                        
- US statutory regulations require reserving on a worst case scenario basis     
for deferred annuity policies that permit free partial withdrawals (`CARVM      
Reserves`). As such there is redundancy when comparing the worst case scenario  
and the economic scenarios. These CARVM redundant reserves are currently        
reinsured from US Life to Old Mutual Reassurance until no later than the end    
of 2015. Old Mutual plc provides a $255 million letter of credit to back these  
redundant reserves. In the event that this letter of credit is drawn upon       
Harbinger are obligated to fully reimburse Old Mutual plc.
