Financial highlights                                                            
- Headline earnings per share up 28% to 470 cents                               
- Revenue up 20% to R20.9 billion                                               
- Cash flows from operating activities up 31% to R1.1 billion                   
- Distribution to shareholders up 25% to 175 cents                              
Introduction                                                                    
The past six months were characterised by high consumer spending buoyed by low  
interest rates, good economic growth, low inflation and a strong rand. Within   
this environment Imperial has posted a fine performance, with revenue growing by
20%, operating profit increasing by 34% and headline earning per share up by 28%
to R4.70.                                                                       
Cash generation remained solid, with operating cash flow after accounting for   
replacement capital expenditure almost trebling. The group`s ROE once again     
improved, with the return for the 12 months to December 2004 being 21.6% (2003: 
18.6%).                                                                         
The key operational highlights for the period included strong trading patterns  
in the passenger and commercial vehicle market in South Africa, the strong      
investment and underwriting performances of our insurance businesses and a solid
performance by our logistics division, particularly in Europe. The strong rand  
negatively affected the performance of our interests in the aviation and tourism
markets in particular whilst lower interest rates and flat market conditions    
hampered growth in the leasing and fleet management division.                   
During the six months under review the group successfully completed a number of 
initiatives aimed at growing our business. The range of brands we distribute was
expanded by adding Renault Trucks, Tata Motors and MV Agusta, Cagiva and        
Husqvarna motorcycles to the portfolio. The group also acquired six motor       
dealerships, including Brenners, and was awarded an additional four new         
franchises. A total of 21 used vehicle dealerships were added to the network    
under the HyperCar, Auto Pedigree and Imperial Pre-owned brands. Across the     
group, we retailed 36 376 new vehicles, up 46% over the prior period, and 22 069
used vehicles, an increase of 14%.                                              
The aviation division acquired Naturelink, an aviation service, sales and       
contract operations business and NAC was awarded the distribution rights by     
Raytheon for the United Arab Emirates. The logistics division formed Mercor     
Solutions, which is a fully integrated merchandising business offering value    
added supply chain solutions to the chilled foods industry.                     
The group also disposed of its 33% interests in DAWN Limited to Ukhamba and     
Tourvest sold its interest in Starlight Cruises.                                
Subsequent to the end of the period the group received an upgrade of its foreign
currency credit rating by Moody`s Investors Service to Baa1. We have also       
announced that subject to regulatory approvals, the group has acquired nine Ford
dealerships in the Sydney metropolitan area in Australia.                       
The board approved an interim capital distribution of R1.75 per share,          
representing a 25% increase over the distribution of R1.40 per share in 2003.   
Financial results                                                               
Income Statement                                                                
The group`s revenue increased by 20% over the previous period, driven by buoyant
conditions in the motor retail market and a general improvement in economic     
conditions in South Africa. Revenue from South African operations increased by  
22%. Whilst the vehicle distribution business benefited from the ongoing        
strength of the rand, it continued to exert pressure on revenues from aviation  
and tourism, as well as the conversion of revenues and profits from the group`s 
operations outside South Africa.                                                
Profitability grew strongly during the period, with operating margins improving 
from 7.6% to 8.5%, resulting in a 34% improvement in operating profits. This was
achieved after recognising an additional R43 million impairment of the group`s  
aviation fleet, following a further strengthening of the rand against the US    
dollar during the period.                                                       
Foreign exchange losses amounted to R16 million up from the prior period`s R4   
million and negative fair value adjustments on foreign exchange derivatives were
R71 million against R17 million in the comparable period in 2003, mostly due to 
the fair valuing of forward exchange contracts following the strengthening of   
the rand. The rand closed at R5.66/USD at the end of the period, versus         
R6.32/USD at June 2004.                                                         
Despite lower borrowing rates and relatively stable levels of debt, net interest
costs increased by 9% to R309 million. This was mainly due to negative fair     
value adjustments to long-term debt instruments of R57 million compared to a    
positive adjustment of R9 million in the prior period.                          
The contribution by associates declined by 30%, principally due to the          
impairment of the aviation fleet in Safair Lease Finance and lower profits in   
Imperial Bank.                                                                  
The group made a net exceptional profit of R21 million, which included our share
of the profit on disposal of our interest in DAWN Limited of R24 million. The   
group`s effective taxation rate declined to 31.3% from the prior period`s 34.2%,
which included an unusually high STC charge.                                    
Net attributable profit grew by 33% to R960 million and earnings per share rose 
by 34% from R3.57 to R4.80 benefiting marginally from the effects of share      
buybacks. Diluted headline earnings per share increased by only 21% primarily as
a result of deferred ordinary shares issued to Ukhamba Holdings (Pty) Limited.  
Balance Sheet                                                                   
The group`s balance sheet remains strong. During the year total assets grew year
on-year by 11% to R25.8 billion driven by growth across the asset base.         
Net debt amounted to 65.1% of equity at the end of the period against 72.0% at  
the same time last year.                                                        
Cash Flow                                                                       
The cash generation of the group continued to improve compared to the           
corresponding period. Cash flow from operations increased by 31%. The increase  
in working capital since June 2004 amounted to R843 million against an increase 
of R535 million in the same period last year. This was influenced by a seasonal 
increase in working capital and increased activity levels.                      
Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operating activities after replacement
capital expenditure amounted to R586 million, against R204 million in the prior 
period. This equates to 62% of our headline earnings (2003: 27%). Cash          
conversion in the first half of the financial year is normally not as strong as 
for the full year due to the greater seasonal investment in working capital.    
Replacement capital expenditure declined by 22% to R468 million, benefiting from
past investments in capital goods. Expansion capital expenditure more than      
doubled to R1.1 billion. Most of the expansion capital expenditure was spent in 
our logistics, aviation and distributorship divisions.                          
Review of divisions                                                             
Logistics                                                                       
The logistics division performed well in a competitive environment. In South    
Africa, strong economic growth aided performance, whilst the strong rand        
negatively impacted our exporting customers and our cross-border operations. Low
inflation also resulted in an inability to pass on all cost increases. In Europe
economic conditions remain subdued, but our business performed exceptionally    
given the circumstances. Unfortunately the strong rand, on conversion, diluted  
the impact of the performance in Europe.                                        
Our South African operations` revenue grew by 9% despite low inflation and      
operating margins improved from 8.3% to 8.7%. Operating profits grew by 14% to  
R277 million. Whilst it has been difficult to recover all cost increases in the 
current low inflation environment, increased activity levels and a strong       
consumer market aided growth. This, together with improved efficiency levels    
assisted the improvement in profitability.                                      
Imperial Logistics International improved its performance markedly over last    
year. In Euro terms, revenue increased by 10.6% and operating profit improved by
124%. A focus on efficiency levels and the benefits of maturing contracts       
resulted in a significant improvement in operating margins, from 1.9% last year 
to 3.2% in the period under review.                                             
All the business units in Europe performed better. JH Bachmann and Neska both   
gained from new business volumes, while Imperial Reederei`s focus on efficiency 
improvements resulted in profit gains. Panopa`s investments of the recent past  
reached full profitability after the initial start up phase.                    
Leasing and Fleet Management                                                    
In volume terms the South African vehicle leasing market remained relatively    
flat year-on-year. Within this context our fleet grew by 7% to 25 605 units     
since June 2004, as we secured new contracts with the Namibian government and a 
large South African metropolitan authority.                                     
Our revenues grew by 23%, whilst operating profit declined by 2% to R241        
million. Margins declined from 23.8% last year to 19.0%. A changing sales mix   
was the main reason for the margin decline as Hypercar, which disposes of our   
off-lease vehicles, expanded its presence to 17 dealerships from six during the 
prior corresponding period. Its revenue increased by 149%. In a declining       
interest rate environment, the division`s pre-tax contribution was also affected
by the high proportion of fixed rate funding used to fund our fleet, compared to
a greater proportion of variable rate fleet contracts with customers.           
Market conditions remained tough, with low interest rates affecting interest    
rate margins, market volumes remaining relatively static, which intensified     
competitive forces. Whilst there remains much scope for public sector fleet     
outsourcing, progress remains slow. Leasing to private consumers, which may be  
introduced, provides significant longer term opportunities, from which we are   
well positioned to gain.                                                        
Aviation Leasing                                                                
Trading conditions remained challenging during the period under review. While   
aircraft sales volumes and activity levels remained high, the strong rand       
continued to affect the trading results of our aviation businesses, resulting in
pressure on margins and a further R43 million (R26 million in 2003) impairment  
against the value of our fleet.                                                 
Revenue increased by 4%, whilst operating profits were up 17% to R128 million   
with margins improving from 9.2% to 10.4% benefiting from a R55 million profit  
on the sale of aircraft. This business has continued to progress on its strategy
of focusing on value-added activities. During the period five additional        
Hercules aircraft were purchased, bringing the total Hercules fleet to 11       
aircraft. These assets are specifically employed in humanitarian aid, relief and
specialised operations, where the ability to leverage our value-added service   
capabilities is greatest. Naturelink was acquired towards the end of the period.
Car Rental and Tourism                                                          
Car rental activities performed well as a result of improved efficiencies and   
reasonable demand from the business and domestic leisure sector. However, the   
strong rand continued to exert pressure on the tourism market. The tourism      
interests in Imperial were affected by fewer visitors from traditional markets  
like Germany and the United Kingdom.                                            
Revenue grew by 4% and operating profits increased by 12% with operating margins
widening from 13% to 14%. A review of the estimated lives and residual values of
motor vehicles for hire contributed R20 million to the improvement in operating 
profit.                                                                         
Whilst pricing pressure remains significant in the car rental industry, improved
utilisation and back office efficiencies have aided our performance in this     
area. Tourvest, in which the group owns a 67% stake, continued to battle the    
effects of the strong rand which limited the discretionary spending of foreign  
tourists and caused inbound tourist numbers to contract. Tourvest`s revenue     
declined by 3%, while operating profits remained static resulting in an improved
operating margin of 9.5% (2003: 9.3%).                                          
Distributorships                                                                
The distributorship division benefited from the strength of the South African   
economy, improved critical mass, maturing dealerships, increased emphasis on    
financial services, the strong rand and low interest rates. Sales volumes of    
both passenger and commercial vehicles grew strongly during the period under    
review. Revenue grew by 67% and operating profits increased by 117%, resulting  
in an increase in operating margins to 9.3% (2003: 7.1%).                       
Our heavy commercial vehicle and parts distribution businesses have performed   
well as economic growth increased demand, the strong rand improved affordability
and new products gained market acceptance.                                      
Our passenger and light commercial vehicle and motorcycle import businesses     
performed well as increased volumes across all the brands we represent resulted 
in good revenue growth and improved critical mass. Continued growth in after-   
sales activity due to vehicle park growth bodes well for the longer term outlook
and sustainability of this business. During the period we added a further three 
dealerships, bringing the total number of dealers in the network to 60. The     
establishment of the Tata range of passenger and light commercial vehicles into 
the market has proceeded well and is expected to continue growing strongly.     
Motor Vehicle Dealerships                                                       
Benefiting from similar conditions as mentioned above, the group`s dealership   
division improved revenue by 15% and operating profits by a satisfactory 9%.    
Operating margins declined from 2.7% to 2.6% due to a change in the sales mix,  
which included a substantially larger component of new vehicle sales relative to
used vehicle and after-market sales. Pricing pressure remains an issue in this  
business.                                                                       
The used vehicle market remains challenging as a result of the affordability of 
new vehicles which is aided by the incentives offered to consumers on these     
purchases. The rollout of DaimlerChrysler`s new retail strategy is proceeding   
well and we are making a substantial investment in new dealership               
infrastructure. We expect positive benefits to flow from the changes.           
Insurance                                                                       
The group`s insurance interests, Regent Life and Regent Insurance, both         
performed very well. Growth in new business volumes and excellent investment and
underwriting performances all combined to improve revenues by 26% and profit    
before tax by 77% to R204 million. As a result pre-tax margins increased from   
14.6% to 20.8%. Realised and unrealised gains on investments benefited from the 
strong local equities market and amounted to R121 million against R41 million in
the same period last year.                                                      
Associates and joint ventures                                                   
Income from associates and joint ventures declined by 30% to R77 million from   
R110 million in 2003:                                                           
- Safair Lease Finance was negatively affected by the strong rand which resulted
in a significant impairment in the value of its fleet of R65 million before tax.
Our share of the attributable charge was R23 million.                           
- Renault South Africa performed well, benefiting from a strong market          
acceptance of its new product range, which resulted in improving critical mass, 
strong volume gains and an excellent result.                                    
- Imperial Bank experienced good trading conditions with advances growth of 32% 
compared to the prior period. However, the bank`s contribution to Imperial`s    
earnings declined to R31 million from R56 million. This is due to R25 million   
lower earnings attributable to the bank from the collection of assets acquired  
from Saambou Bank, as the acquired book is running out. It further suffered from
exceptional bad debts in its aviation book mainly driven by the strength of the 
rand. On the other hand Motor Finance Corporation and the property division had 
fine results.                                                                   
Outlook and prospects                                                           
The outlook for Imperial remains good. The prospect of continued good economic  
growth, low inflation and relatively benign interest rate movements should      
continue to support solid trading patterns for most of the group`s businesses.  
Whilst the strong rand has affected the performance of some of our businesses,  
it benefits others, resulting in a natural hedge for the group.                 
We believe our businesses have the capacity to grow in their current markets.   
Whilst we plan to continue looking for value-enhancing acquisition              
opportunities, our primary focus remains on organic growth within Southern      
Africa.                                                                         
Imperial is a growth oriented group. Continued attention to returns and cash    
generation should deliver solid improvements in the financial performance of our
business into the future. By leveraging a low cost of capital and a resilient   
balance sheet, we continue our quest of delivering good growth and shareholder  
returns. Having regard to the strong performance of the group in the second half
of the 2004 financial year, it is expected that the growth achieved for the year
to 25 June 2005, though satisfactory, will not match that achieved in the first 
half.                                                                           
Capital distribution number 6                                                   
Notice is hereby given that a capital distribution of 175 cents per ordinary    
share has been declared and is payable to shareholders recorded in the books of 
the company at the close of business on Friday, 18 March 2005. The company was  
duly authorised to make capital distributions by  shareholders at the annual    
general meeting held on 2 November 2004.  In compliance with the requirements of
STRATE, the electronic settlement and custody system used by the JSE Securities

Accounting policies                                                             
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with AC 127 - 
Interim Financial Reporting and comply with Statements of Generally Accepted    
Accounting Practice in South Africa, effective for this financial period, and   
are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the previous      
annual report,  except for the adoption of AC 140 - Business Combinations and   
the revisions to AC 128 - Impairment of Assets and AC 129 - Intangible Assets.  
Change in accounting policy                                                     
During the current year the group adopted AC 140 - Business Combinations which  
results in goodwill no longer being amortised but rather reviewed for           
impairment. Negative goodwill has to be written back to equity.                 
The effect of the change in accounting policy is that negative goodwill of R17  
million has been credited to opening retained earnings at 25 June 2004.  The    
effect on the current year is a reduction of R31 million in amortisation of     
goodwill charged to the income statement.  There is no impact on headline       
earnings  per share as goodwill amortisation is added back in this computation. 
As this is a prospective adjustment comparatives have not been restated.
