  OVERVIEW OF RESULTS                                                             
  The financial year ended 30 June 2003 was characterised by:                     
  * high interest rates in South Africa;                                          
  * a strengthening rand exchange rate; and                                       
  * poor local and global investment markets.                                     
  While this resulted in a challenging business environment, substantially all of 
  the group -  and in particular FNB Retail, Discovery and OUTsurance -  performed
  above expectation, enabling RMBH to report exceptional core headline earnings   
  growth.                                                                         
  For a proper appreciation of the annual results presented in this report, two   
  matters need to be highlighted separately:                                      
  * The impact of exceptional currency fluctuations on the underlying core        
  earnings; and                                                                   
  * The reporting consequences arising from the implementation of the fair value  
  provisions of "AC133 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement".     
  Currency fluctuations                                                           
  In previous reports to shareholders, the extreme directional volatility of the  
  rand exchange rate over the last two years was highlighted. It has the potential
  to cloud the underlying core operational performance achieved by the group.     
  Given such volatility, FirstRand isolates the abnormal impact of unrealised     
  foreign currency gains or losses from its core operating performance and        
  discloses the amounts and impact thereof on its headline earnings separately in 
  the following manner:                                                           
  * Unrealised gains and losses relating to independent businesses are reflected  
  directly in reserves on its balance sheet; while                                
  * Those relating to integrated businesses are reflected in FirstRand"s income   
  statement.                                                                      
  RMBH concurs that by highlighting unrealised currency gains and losses in this  
  manner, a clearer view of the underlying operational and business trends        
  emerges. We have thus applied such analysis consistently to RMBH"s results, with
  the following trend arising:

  Cumulatively, over the two-year period to 30 June 2003, the extreme directional 
  volatility of the rand exchange rate caused the net foreign translation movement
  to be immaterial, thereby underscoring the appropriateness of the accounting    
  disclosure followed by measuring growth in terms of core headline earnings.     
  AC133: Financial Instruments -  Recognition and Measurement                     
  The results for the year ended 30 June 2003 have been prepared in accordance    
  with the requirements of "AC133 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and        
  Measurement", a new standard of South African Generally Accepted Accounting     
  Practice ("GAAP"). AC133 introduces the concept of "fair value" accounting for  
  financial instruments, which forms the core of many of our businesses. While the
  standard conforms to the international GAAP standard (IAS39), certain of the    
  concepts employed are still the subject of considerable debate and are likely to
  evolve further over time.                                                       
  FirstRand is the first major South African financial institution to report a    
  full year"s results in compliance with the new standard. It has found that the  
  standard has a material impact on its financial results and has highlighted such
  impact separately. The impact of the new standard on RMBH itself, its           
  subsidiaries and associates, other than FirstRand, has not been significant.    
  RMBH accounts for its investment in FirstRand on the equity method. Consequently
  in its case, the income statement impact arising from the application of AC133  
  is largely confined to:                                                         
  * RMBH"s share of after-tax income that it reports from associates; and         
  * corresponding adjustments arising in the balance sheet carrying value of      
  RMBH"s investment in associated companies and reserves.                         
  AC133 is a prospective accounting standard in that it does not provide for the  
  restatement of prior period comparatives. Instead, it sets out comprehensive    
  transitional provisions, which affect the opening equity balances at the        
  beginning of the reporting period. We believe that the impact of the            
  introduction of AC133 is thus best illustrated by way of a supplementary income 
  statement for the year ended 30 June 2003, reflecting the position without      
  consideration of AC133. The summarised annual financial statements accompanying 
  this report include such "Pre AC133" income statement.                          
  The impact of AC133 on RMBH"s core headline earnings per share may be           
  highlighted as follows:

  In our view:                                                                    
  * Core headline earnings -  incorporating the effect of AC133 -  should be seen 
  as the basis against which future performance will be measured. Such results are
  likely to be significantly more volatile than the historical trends; while      
  * the Pre AC133 core headline earnings are a more appropriate basis against     
  which to evaluate RMBH"s current period performance in a historical context.    
  Consequently, we have used the Pre AC133 results as a basis for historical      
  comparison throughout the remainder of this report.                             
  We believe these to be an excellent set of results that reflects both the       
  benefits of a diverse and resilient earnings base and the benefits of sustained 
  focus on our core businesses.                                                   
  Based on the underlying operational trend reflected by the core headline        
  earnings, RMBH has declared a final dividend of 37,2 cents per share,           
  representing an 23% increase over the previous year.                            
  Fifth anniversary since the creation of FirstRand                               
  It is now five years since RMBH created FirstRand in 1998. During this period   
  the merged FirstRand group has undergone fundamental change as our business     
  philosophy was inculcated throughout the group. The success of our approach is  
  now manifest and FirstRand has become a group recognised for the excellence of  
  its people and its distinctly branded products and services.                    
  Our diversified earnings base has seen our core headline earnings per share grow
  at a compound growth rate of 23% per annum, to more than double from 68,2 cents 
  per share in 1999 to 155,6 cents per share in 2003.

  Operating environment and financial results                                     
  The FirstRand group produced excellent results, benefiting from diverse income  
  sources, strong organic growth, benefits of scale crystallised from prior year  
  acquisitions, improved interest margin and lower bad debts. To some extent, such
  gains were muted by the negative effects of a strengthening rand on             
  international income and poor equity investment markets.                        
  The convergence of these positive factors is reflected in the excellent 26%     
  increase in core headline earnings reported by the FirstRand Banking group.     
  While the negative factors manifested themselves in subdued demand for retail   
  investment products, Momentum continued to produce solid results with a 10%     
  growth in core headline earnings. This performance is pleasing when weighed     
  against that of its peer group.                                                 
  Cluster performance                                                             
  Of the FirstRand group"s core headline earnings of R5 151 million (2002: R4 186 
  million) -                                                                      
  * some 45% was derived from the Retail Cluster;                                 
  * 31% from the Corporate Cluster;                                               
  * the Wealth Cluster contributed 8%; while                                      
  * the Health Cluster contributed 3%; and                                        
  * the Capital Centre contributed the balance of 13%.                            
  The Retail Cluster reflected growth of 27% over the prior year. In particular:  
  * FNB Retail showed profitable advances and deposit growth as investors         
  continued to switch from equities to more conservative savings products;        
  * FNB HomeLoans considerably enhanced its earnings by the benefits of scale     
  resulting from better infrastructure utilisation arising from the acquisition of
  the NBS and Saambou mortgage books during the previous year;                    
  * WesBank achieved record new business results with advances exceeding R24      
  billion for the year; and                                                       
  * The African subsidiaries continued to perform well.                           
  In the Corporate Cluster, with profit growth of 12%                             
  * RMB produced a record result with its Equities Trading, Special Projects and  
  Private Equity divisions enjoying an excellent year; and                        
  * FNB Corporate"s focus on profitable business segments and management of non-  
  performing loans ensured excellent results; but                                 
  * FirstRand Asset Management was negatively impacted by loss of funds under     
  management, a stronger exchange rate, poor performance of equity markets and    
  closure costs related to certain retail investment products.                    
  Momentum Life, the mainstay of the Wealth Cluster, performed well in a difficult
  market. New recurring premium risk and investment products launched during the  
  year had a positive impact in an otherwise lacklustre market. The newly merged  
  South African private banking operations achieved good advances growth which,   
  together with improved control over non-performing loans, resulted in a doubling
  of its profits. Ansbacher"s international private banking operations incurred   
  substantial losses and a decision has been taken to exit the loss-making parts  
  of the business.                                                                
  Earnings from the Health Cluster increased by 42% as a result of continued      
  growth in market share in South Africa. The start-up losses incurred in its     
  American operations was in line with expectations and should in future be       
  ameliorated by two distribution partnerships with major assurance distributors. 
  The American operations are expected to reach break-even early in 2004.         
  The Capital Centre increased its earnings by 73%. The FirstRand Banking group   
  benefited from high local interest rates during the first half of the year as   
  well as from the non-recurrence of exceptional corporate bad debts in the prior 
  year. During the last month of the financial year, the FirstRand group raised   
  R1,4 billion of medium-term preference share funding to facilitate the intra-   
  group restructuring of the Momentum group"s shareholders portfolio in accordance
  with the FSB"s regulatory changes regarding capital adequacy requirements and to
  fund the Discovery Health group"s rights issue.                                 
  DIRECTLY HELD INSURANCE INTERESTS                                               
  RMB Structured Insurance                                                        
  RMBSI reported a 34% increase in headline earnings, which amounted to R43,0     
  million. (2002: R32,2 million). While the group"s core activities delivered a   
  satisfactory performance, a major part of the increase in headline earnings     
  arose primarily as a result of principal positions that the group assumed in the
  unwinding of a series of structured transactions.                               
  The considerable effort expended by RMBSI on research and development during the
  past 18 months has culminated in a refined and expanded suite of products which 
  is already contributing positively to revenues.                                 
  During the year, key members of the RMBSI executive group were granted options  
  over six percent of the company"s share capital as part of a share incentive    
  scheme, bringing its remuneration practices in line with that of the greater    
  RMBH Group.                                                                     
  OUTsurance                                                                      
  OUTsurance, now in its fifth year of operation, has become an established and   
  trusted brand in the South African personal lines insurance sector. It continues
  to reap the benefits of its direct sales business model.                        
  In the year to 30 June 2002 record sales volumes (with gross premiums up 71% and
  exceeding R1,0 billion for the first time), further reductions in management    
  expense ratios and good client retention contributed to a doubling of the       
  underwriting result to R61,7 million. Coupled with higher than anticipated      
  investment income, such result enabled OUTsurance to report a 92% increase in   
  headline earnings which amounted to R113,1 million.                             
  During March 2003 OUTsurance started to provide cover for small and medium-sized
  businesses. Initial indications have been positive and OUTsurance already has   
  significant demand from business clients without any formal marketing.          
  RMBH"s attributable share of OUTsurance"s headline earnings for the year        
  amounted to R69,3 million (2002: R36,1 million).                                
  OTHER FINANCIAL SERVICES INTERESTS                                              
  Glenrand M.I.B                                                                  
  Glenrand M.I.B reported an indifferent performance for the year under review    
  with headline earnings increasing by 7% to R79,1 million (2002: R73,7 million). 
  Headline earnings per share increased by 1% to 33,2 cents.                      
  Good revenue growth in the group"s Africa Risk Advisory Services business and   
  strong growth in investment income were dissipated by the benefit consulting,   
  healthcare and medical services divisions suffering a R0,3 million trading loss 
  (2002: R37,2 milion profit). Glenrand M.I.B is assessing the future strategic   
  direction with regard to certain of these business units.                       
  RMBH"s share of headline earnings from Glenrand M.I.B amounted to R13,6 million 
  (2002: R13,3 million).                                                          
  GAMING INTERESTS                                                                
  Global Resorts                                                                  
  Global Resorts reported headline earnings of R143,3 million - a 13% decrease    
  from 2002 (R164,6 million). RMBH"s share of headline earnings amounted to R68,8 
  million (2002: R79,0 million).                                                  
  The restructuring of the economic empowerment structure at Caesars Gauteng      
  (effective 1 July 2002) renders direct year-on-year comparison of the reported  
  results inappropriate. In our last annual report we highlighted that the likely 
  impact of this restructuring would be to reduce headline earnings by a third.   
  The restructuring thus masks the inherently strong performance of Caesars       
  Gauteng in particular, which exceeded budget. The other two casino resorts      
  performed in line with expectation.                                             
  Global Resorts continues its trend of exceptional cash flow generation, with    
  continued repayment of the original risk financing provided. To date it has     
  repaid more than 75% of the original risk capital advanced by the shareholder   
  consortium.                                                                     
  Shareholders were advised of the failure of the proposed sale of our interest in
  Global Resorts to the Metallon group as a result of the non-fulfilment of       
  certain conditions precedent. The Global Resorts shareholder consortium is      
  currently giving consideration to proposals from a number of interested parties 
  who approached us thereafter.                                                   
  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE                                                            
  RMBH and all of the companies in which we invest have embraced the              
  recommendations of the King II report on Corporate Governance. A comprehensive  
  review of governance practices has been undertaken in the group. We remain      
  committed to the highest standard of Corporate Governance and in this regard    
  strive to provide reports to shareholders that are timely, accurate, consistent 
  and informative.                                                                
  DIVIDEND PAYMENT                                                                
  The Board has resolved to declare a final dividend of 37,2 cents per share      
  (2002: 30,2 cents). Such final dividend, together with the interim dividend of  
  17,8 cents, brings the total dividend for the year ended 30 June 2003 to 55,0   
  cents (2002: 44,4 cents). This represents a year-on-year increase of 24% and a  
  dividend cover ratio (on core headline earnings) of 2,8 times.                  
  OUTLOOK FOR THE GROUP                                                           
  The FirstRand group is cautiously optimistic about the prospects of an improved 
  economic outlook in the year ahead.                                             
  * A lower interest rate environment will benefit growth and increase the chances
  of a favourable movement in the stock market.                                   
  * A more favourable economic environment will facilitate FirstRand"s goal of    
  achieving strong new business growth across all business units.                 
  * Significantly improved results are expected from the group"s local and        
  international asset management activities after a disappointing year.           
  * Companies such as Discovery, eBucks and RMB Private Bank, which are all new,  
  entrepreneurial ventures started in the last ten years, are expected to continue
  to grow strongly and provide a meaningful enhancement to the group"s overall    
  earnings growth rate.                                                           
  RMBH"s other interests, while overshadowed by the absolute size of FirstRand,   
  are each unique in their own abilities and also stand poised to extract further 
  value from their identified niches. Some elements thereof will need some form of
  strategic redirection to realise their full potential.                          
  Notwithstanding the highly competitive environment in which our group operates, 
  we are confident that the group will continue to deliver strong real growth in  
  earnings per share during the coming year.
