INTRODUCTION                                                                    
Imperial had a successful six months to December 2002. The improved             
financial performance across the Group again underpinned the success of the     
strategy of operating an integrated transportation and mobility Group,          
while mixing strong entrepreneurial and marketing flair with a diligent         
customer focus and strict financial discipline.                                 
These results were largely derived from organic growth, driven by overall       
operational efficiencies, an attractive business mix, increased market          
share and the benefits from prior years` investments bearing fruit. Revenue     
grew by 21% to R16.5 billion (2001: R13.7 billion). 92% of the R2.8 billion     
increase in revenue was organic. Operating profit increased by a                
substantial 30% to R1.3billion (2001: R1.0 billion) and headline earnings       
per share grew by 19% to 324 cents (2001: 273 cents).                           
The results were very pleasing given that the tax rate increased to 30%         
from 26% in the previous year, foreign exchange gains of R91 million in         
2001 reversed to a current foreign exchange loss of R6 million due to the       
strong rand, and financing costs increased by R48 million mostly as a           
result of the high interest rate cycle.                                         
The Board has proposed a capital distribution of 125 cents per share,           
subject to shareholders` approval. It is drawn to the shareholders`             
attention that this is in lieu of a dividend.                                   
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW                                                              
INCOME STATEMENT                                                                
- Revenue grew by 21% to R16.5 billion (2001: R13.7 billion) due to the         
strong performance from all divisions and associates, with the exception of     
the Distributorship business.                                                   
- Revenue from local operations was R12.4 billion (2001: R10.3billion) and      
from non-South African businesses was R4.1billion (2001: R3.4 billion).         
- Headline earnings per share increased 19% to 324 cents (2001: 273 cents).     
- Operating profit rose to R1.3 billion (2001: R1.0 billion), up 30% on the     
comparative period. The biggest contributor to operating profits was            
Logistics and Transport that showed a 44% improvement to R290 million           
(2001: R201 million), followed by Car Rental and Tourism up 71% to R258         
million (2001: R151million) and Leasing and Fleet Management up 28% to          
R238million (2001: R186million).                                                
- Operating profit in South Africa was up 29% to R1.1 billion (2001: R863       
million), the rest of Africa was up 22% to R55 million (2001: R45 million)      
and the rest of the world was up 48% to R102 million (2001: R69 million).       
- Group operating margin was up to 7.7% (2001: 7.2%), mainly due to the         
sound business mix and operational efficiencies.                                
- The exceptional profit amounted to R54 million (2001: R14 million loss)       
and includes the sale of the Group`s 51% share in the Renault business to       
Renault S.A.S.                                                                  
BALANCE SHEET                                                                   
- The balance sheet is strong with equity of R8.4 billion at 39% of total       
assets.                                                                         
- Net debt of R5 billion (interest bearing debt of R6.4 billion less R1.4       
billion cash) was 60% of total equity, up from 55% at June 2002. In light       
of Imperial`s leasing and rental assets alone growing to R5.5 billion, the      
Group considers itself to be under borrowed. There are no off balance sheet     
borrowings.                                                                     
- Total assets increased by 9% to R21.6 billion (2001: R19.8 billion).          
- Fleets, including leasing assets, transport fleet and vehicles for hire,      
were up 21% at R7.2 billion (2001: R5.9 billion).                               
CASH FLOW STATEMENT                                                             
- Cash generated by operations was R956 million (2001: R1.3 billion), down      
24% on the comparable period. This was largely as a result of:                  
- The increased inventory of used light aircraft since June 2002, which         
accounted for approximately R180 million. This is expected to decrease          
significantly by year-end.                                                      
- The increased level of trade and other receivables since June 2002 was        
due to seasonal factors and the increase in Group revenue. The Group            
expects this to improve in the second half in line with the historic trend      
in the business.                                                                
- Accounts payable have risen at a slower rate than the growth in revenue.      
- The Group expects to have strong cash flow from operations for the full       
year.                                                                           
- Net capital expenditure of R1245 million was included in total investing      
activities of R1256 million, which was down R333million on the previous         
period. A total of R408 million expansion capital expenditure was invested      
for future growth, with R223 million invested into the high yielding Car        
Rental and Leasing and Fleet Management Divisions. R837 million was for net     
replacement capital expenditure, mainly in the Group`s vehicle leasing and      
car rental fleets to ensure the group caters for the peak season at the end     
of the calendar year. In the second half of the financial year, the fleet       
is streamlined to cater for the off-peak periods and a large part of the        
capex is recovered through the sale of vehicles.                                
- With the recent sale of the Group`s majority share in its Renault             
operations, it will be relieved of any major funding obligations to this        
associate. However, interim funding was advanced and the Group expects to       
be repaid over R200 million in the next few months for inventories              
transferred by Imperial.                                                        
REVIEW OF DIVISIONS                                                             
LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT                                                         
Revenue grew by 17% to R6.0 billion (2001: R5.2 billion), and operating         
profits increased by 44% to R290 million (2001: R201 million). This was         
mainly due to an outstanding performance by the local businesses following      
new efficiency drives and a strong focus on improving under-performing          
businesses. Local margins improved to 8.4% (2001: 6%).                          
Revenue from our lower-margin international operations grew by 18% to R3.4      
billion (2001: R2.9 billion) with operating profits increasing by 10% to        
R69 million (2001: R63 million). Margins were slightly lower at 2.0%. These     
figures have benefited from the translation of Euros to Rands. In Euros the     
business has remained static, although recently new long-term contracts         
have been negotiated.                                                           
LEASING AND FLEET MANAGEMENT                                                    
Revenue grew by 29% to R918 million (2001: R713 million) and operating          
profit increased by 28% to R238 million (2001: R186 million), benefiting        
from the continuing investment in, and growth of, fleets in Southern Africa     
and the UK.                                                                     
Vehicle leasing and forklift leasing both maintained strong growth.             
The operating margin remained at a healthy 26%. No major outsourcing            
contracts were awarded in the period, but the outlook for further               
government outsourcing is promising. Management is also actively pursuing       
innovative solutions for clients and ways of broadening its offer to fleet      
owners.                                                                         
AVIATION LEASING                                                                
This division performed well in a tough market due to strong positioning        
and an innovative business model. Revenue improved by 13% to R983 million       
(2001: R873 million) and operating profit increased by 51% to R183 million      
(2001: R121 million).                                                           
Safair showed a 35% improvement in revenue due to the full benefits from        
the increased fleet and good growth in service-related operations. Flowing      
from that, operating margin improved strongly.                                  
While pressure from the strengthening Rand was reflected in the last            
quarter, the Group is comfortable with current asset values and the             
business mix of this business.                                                  
French airline, Air Lib, ceased operations during February 2003, resulting      
in the return of four MD80 aircraft to Safair. The aircraft leased to Air       
Lib represent less than 5% of Safair`s revenue and will have a marginal         
negative effect on earnings during the remainder of the year. The Group is      
actively pursuing new customers for these aircraft.                             
NAC experienced a decline in demand for new aircraft, but recorded healthy      
sales in the used aircraft market. Revenue therefore decreased by 10%           
although the sales mix between new and used aircraft and an increase in         
value-added services, resulted in a considerable increase in operating          
margin.                                                                         
Safair Lease Finance, our 50/50 joint venture with Gensec, has the              
necessary long-term funding in place and contributed a maiden R7.7million       
to earnings. The business got off to a flying start and now has 13 aircraft     
with SAA, KLM, DHL and British Airways Comair.                                  
CAR RENTAL AND TOURISM                                                          
A 32% increase in revenue to R1.7 billion (2001: R1.3 billion) was due to       
the growth in tourism, the car rental market and support services.              
Operating profit was up by 71% to R258 million (2001: R151 million). The        
operating margin improved from 11.6% to 15.0% due to increased inbound          
rates for car rentals, a healthy performance by Auto Pedigree and support       
services, and substantial growth in tourism.                                    
The Group`s 64%-held company, Tourvest, which is fully exposed to all areas     
of the tourism market, benefited greatly from the big boost in incoming         
tourist numbers and a strong performance in all divisions. Revenue              
increased by 48% to R895 million (2001: R604 million), while operating          
income increased by 64% to R107 million (2001: R65 million) and headline        
earnings per share improved by 62% to 9.4 cents. Travel and Financial           
Services achieved improved operating margins and retail interests performed     
very well. Further benefits flowed from interest earned on positive cash        
flows and higher interest rates.                                                
DISTRIBUTORSHIPS                                                                
Distributorships performed weakly due to substantial price increases forced     
by the weak Rand. This negatively impacted volumes and resulted in a            
decrease in market share. Whilst the Rand improved during the period under      
review, inventory on hand had to be sold at lower margins. Revenue              
therefore grew by only 12% to R2.4 billion (2001: R2.1billion) and              
operating profit by 3% to R126 million (2001: R122 million).                    
Following the sale of the Group`s 51% holding in Renault to Renault S.A.S.,     
this business is equity accounted from 1 December 2002 and included in          
income from associates.                                                         
The other distributorships businesses, Tyco and Lectrolite, had a strong        
period with increased revenues and operating profits. The European range of     
Tyco`s medium and heavy DAF trucks was launched during the period and is        
expected to make a meaningful contribution to Tyco`s profitability in the       
future.                                                                         
VEHICLE DEALERSHIPS                                                             
Revenue increased by 34% to R4.8 billion (2001: R3.6 billion) due to an         
improved sales mix, with the sale of luxury cars boosting both revenue and      
margins. Used vehicles also performed strongly and the recently acquired        
Murnau Motors contributed for the full period. Operating profit increased       
by 56% to R164 million (2001: R105 million) and operating margin improved       
from 2.9% to 3.4%.                                                              
This division had an excellent start to the first half, and might be            
challenged to continue that level of growth in the second half due to the       
current level of interest rates impacting on affordability.                     
Total new and used vehicle unit sales for the whole Group, including            
vehicles sold by Auto Pedigree and the Distribution Division, declined by       
1.6%.                                                                           
INSURANCE                                                                       
Gross premium income in the insurance businesses increased by 27% to R680       
million (2001: R534 million), with life premiums growing at a faster pace.      
The underwriting result from our short-term insurance business was slightly     
down on last year. There was however a good improvement in the core             
insurance business before investment income due to a stronger performance       
from Regent Life.                                                               
Investment income increased by 24% to R31 million (2001: R25million),           
despite the investment base being reduced by dividend payments of R144          
million in total for both companies in June 2002.                               
The realised and unrealised investment returns in the income statement have     
been negatively impacted by the weak equity markets. Profit of R14 million      
in the prior period compares to a loss of R11million, dampening the             
strength of the overall result.                                                 
ASSOCIATES                                                                      
The Group had a R58 million share of attributable income from associates.       
Imperial Bank, the Group`s principal associate, had an outstanding              
performance. The Group`s share of its R92 million attributable income was       
R46 million for the half year. For its full year to December 2002 advances      
grew 65% to R8.8 billion (2001: R5.3billion), with net profits nearly           
doubling to R143 million (2001: R74 million) and a low expense ratio of         
32%.                                                                            
The Planet Finance book, acquired during the period under review, added         
R779 million to advances at year-end. Overall, Imperial Bank`s bad debts        
were 2% of advances and are expected to be lower going forward. Improved        
interest margins, non-interest income and the asset growth were major           
contributors to the success of this business.                                   
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The South African economy has weathered the slowdown in the global economy,     
but potential extraordinary global events are impossible to quantify. That      
aside, the Group anticipates a stimulatory Budget, lower interest rates         
later in the year and the Group`s strong order book that will continue to       
propel us forward.                                                              
The outlook for Logistics and Transport remains positive despite                
indications that trading conditions during the second half will be more         
challenging. Opportunities exist to increase revenues and further improve       
efficiencies. These will be vigorously pursued by management.                   
Leasing and Fleet Management is confident of ongoing success due to its         
good market position and attractive and diverse customer solutions.             
Aviation will be under some pressure from the strengthening Rand, and the       
termination of the Air Lib contract, but is resilient and well balanced.        
The Group believes that growth in the Car Rental and Tourism division will      
continue although at a slower rate than the excellent growth seen in the        
first half to December 2002.                                                    
Distributorships stand to benefit from the strong Rand. The division`s          
ability to compete will be enhanced once existing stocks bought at high         
prices have been sold down.                                                     
The Group expects vehicle sales in the dealerships to drop a few percentage     
points and margins to reduce somewhat in the second half due to higher          
interest rates impacting affordability.                                         
The Insurance division will most likely continue to be impacted by weak         
equity markets, which the Group expects to continue in the medium term.         
Imperial`s international operations in Germany (Logistics and Transport         
Division) will continue to be under pressure in a weak economy. The UK          
operation (Leasing and Fleet Management Division) should hold up well.          
Imperial Bank is confident of its position and is progressing well.             
The Group is anticipating good cash generation and a strong balance sheet       
at year-end. The Board and management remain dedicated to continue              
delivering growth for shareholders but in view of all the factors mentioned     
above it is unlikely that the same level of growth in headline earnings per     
share for the full year will be achieved.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this            
interim report are consistent in all material respects with those applied       
in the previous annual report.                                                  
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with, and comply with,

Segment information restatement                                                 
The segment information has been restated for the distributorships division     
and the motor vehicle dealerships division. Previously, imported franchise      
vehicles that were retailed by the Group were included under motor vehicle      
dealerships. As the sale of imported vehicles are managed separately from       
local franchise vehicles and to measure the performance of imported             
vehicles more correctly, it has been decided to combine the distribution        
and retailing of imported vehicles under the distributorships division.         
Inter-segment revenue has been adjusted to give effect to the above, as         
previously sales between divisions were eliminated under the head office        
and eliminations columns, whereas now the net revenue is shown within the       
distributorships division.
