Imperial Bank - Financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2006         
IMPERIAL BANK                                                                   
Preference share code: IBLP                                                     
ISIN: ZAE000081675                                                              
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2006                         
OVERVIEW                                                                        
Imperial Bank is a 50.1% subsidiary of Nedbank Limited with the remaining 49.9% 
being held by Imperial Holdings Limited. These financial results are published  
to provide information to the holders of Imperial Bank"s listed non-redeemable, 
non-cumulative preference shares.                                               
The bank has had an excellent six months, benefiting from a favourable economic 
environment. Gross advances increased 36.0% from R17.7bn to R24bn and net       
profit after tax increased 55.9% from R114.2m to R178m. Net interest income     
grew by 37.3% and expenses grew by 13.5%, resulting in the efficiency ratio     
improving from 42.8% to 34.7% and the return on ordinary shareholders" equity   
improving from 20.2% to 24.6%. This performance reflects the initial benefits   
of the restructuring and refocusing of the business undertaken in the second    
half of 2005.                                                                   
All divisions performed well, with Motor Finance, Property Finance and Medical  
Finance all achieving strong growth in advances. In line with the strategy,     
Supplier Asset Finance maintained advances at approximately the same level as   
the prior year as the bank focused on returning the Aviation, Corporate and     
Supplier Finance units to profitability.                                        
Impairments have increased 61.7% largely as a result of recoveries in Property  
Finance being lower than 2005. In addition, impairments in the Motor Finance    
Division are returning to more normalised levels following the benign           
conditions of 2005.                                                             
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT                                                              
During the period Imperial Bank restructured its capital base to improve        
returns to shareholders and to allow for future growth. The bank issued a       
subordinated (Tier 2) bond (IBL2) for R500 million priced at 117 basis points   
above the benchmark R153 rate and preference share capital amounting to R300    
million yielding 70% of prime. Imperial Bank also bought back R300 million of   
ordinary shares during the period.                                              
PROSPECTS                                                                       
The outlook for the second half of the year remains positive, although further  
increases in interest rates are likely to dampen demand for finance, while      
impairments are expected to continue at the more normalised levels experienced  
in the first six months.                                                        
CHANGES TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Bank board:
