Commentary
----------
The financial information contained in this commentary is prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Rand values included in
this section are translated into Pounds Sterling - in the case of the income
statement at the weighted average rate for the relevant period, and in the case
of the balance sheets at the relevant closing rate. The average Rand/Pounds
Sterling exchange rates were 11.76 and 11.74 for the six months ended 30

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives relate to the pro-forma
results (as explained in the 'Accounting policies and disclosures' section
below) for the six months ended 30 September 2004. A number of significant
corporate actions have been undertaken during the period which have a bearing on
our performance and these have been highlighted in the 'Presentation of
financial information' section.
Overall performance
-------------------
We are pleased to announce that for the six months ended 30 September 2005,
adjusted earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill impairment and non-operating
items increased by 40.4% to 85.2 pence from 60.7 pence. We have benefited from a
strong performance from all our businesses, supported by favourable economic
conditions, and have achieved our stated growth and financial return objectives.
The salient features of the period under review are:
• Operating profit before goodwill impairment, non-operating items and
taxation increased 58.2% from £96.6 million to £152.8 million.
• Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders before goodwill
impairment and non-operating items increased 37.4% from £68.0 million to
£93.4 million.
• Annualised return on adjusted shareholders' equity (inclusive of
compulsorily convertible instruments) increased from 18.7% to 22.1% against a
target of greater than 20%.
• The ratio of total operating expenses to total operating income
improved from 68.7% to 61.9% against a target of below 65%.
• Core loans and advances have increased by 23.3% to £7.9 billion since
1 April 2005. Asset quality remains highly satisfactory with the percentage of
gross non-performing loans to core loans and advances decreasing from 0.9% to
0.7%.
• Third party assets under management increased by 37.0% to £46.4
billion since 1 April 2005, supported by favourable markets and the corporate
transactions undertaken.
• The board declared a dividend of 38 pence (2004: 30 pence) per ordinary
share, equating to a dividend cover based on the group's adjusted EPS before
impairment of goodwill and non-operating items of 2.2 times (2004: 2.0
times). This is consistent with our policy of maintaining a dividend cover
range of 1.7 to 2.3 times.
Business unit review
--------------------
Private Client Activities
Our Private Client Activities, comprising the Private Banking and Private Client
Portfolio Management and Stockbroking divisions, reported strong growth in
operating profit before goodwill impairment and non-operating items of 28.5% to
£50.1 million (2004: £39.0 million).
• Private Banking
Operating profit of the Private Banking division before goodwill impairment and
non-operating items increased by 28.5% to £42.4 million (2004: £33.0 million)
driven by solid growth in total advances and strong performances recorded across
the majority of the division's areas of activities. Since 1 April 2005, the
private client lending book has grown by 18.2% to £5.1 billion and the division
increased its retail deposit book by 18.8% to £3.9 billion.
• Private Client Portfolio Management and Stockbroking
Private Client Portfolio Management and Stockbroking recorded strong growth,
generating operating profit before goodwill impairment and non-operating items
of £7.7 million (2004: £6.0 million), an increase of 28.3%. The Private Client
business in South Africa has benefited from positive equity market conditions
and the acquisition of HSBC's Private Client business in South Africa. Since 1
April 2005, total funds under management have increased by 72.3% to £6.2
billion. The results of the UK operations include our 47.7% associate
shareholding in Rensburg Sheppards plc's post tax earnings.
Treasury and Specialised Finance
The Treasury and Specialised Finance division posted operating profit before
goodwill impairment and non-operating items of £28.7 million (2004: £21.4
million), an increase of 34.0%. Growth was underpinned by a solid performance
from the division's advisory, structuring, asset creation and distribution
activities with advances increasing by 29.6% to £2.6 billion since 1 April 2005.
Investment Banking
The group's Investment Banking division recorded a significant increase in
operating profit before goodwill impairment and non-operating items from £18.8
million to £42.1 million. The Institutional Stockbroking operations continued to
perform well against a backdrop of favourable equity markets and the Corporate
Finance operations benefited from a sound deal pipeline across all geographies.
The Direct Investments and Private Equity divisions continued to perform
strongly across the board reflecting our increasing presence in this activity.
Asset Management
The Asset Management division delivered substantial growth in operating profit
before goodwill impairment and non-operating items of 56.7% to £21.8 million
(2004: £13.9 million). The division was boosted by favourable market conditions
and net inflows of £494 million with assets under management increasing by 18.2%
to £27.1 billion since 1 April 2005. The division has established a durable
platform for growth on the back of competitive long term investment performance,
management continuity and growing brand recognition in its markets.
Property Activities
Operating profit before goodwill impairment and non-operating items of the
Property Activities division increased by 8.7% to £7.2 million (2004: £6.6
million). The division in South Africa posted solid results driven by an
increase in funds under management and principal transactions given the
favourable property market conditions. These results were partially offset by a
weaker performance in the UK.
Group Services and Other Activities
Group Services and Other Activities earned an operating profit before goodwill
impairment and non-operating items of £3.0 million compared to the prior period
loss of £3.1 million. The Central Funding division benefited from a solid
performance of its portfolio of assets and increased cash holdings arising out
of the number of corporate actions undertaken as highlighted below. These
results were partially offset by a decrease in earnings from Assurance
Activities and associates following the disposal of these activities in the
prior period.
Financial statements analysis
-----------------------------
Operating income
Operating income increased by 23.6% to £414.7 million (2004: £335.4 million).
The movements in total operating income are analysed further below.
Net interest income increased by 44.3% to £114.9 million (2004:£79.6 million) as
a result of a strong growth in core loans and advances of 23.3% to £7.9 billion
since 1 April 2005 and increased cash holdings within the Central Funding
division.
The growth in net fees and commissions of 5.2% to £190.0 million (2004: £180.5
million) is impacted by the sale of Carr Sheppards Crosthwaite to Rensburg plc.
Excluding the consolidated income earned from Carr Sheppards Crosthwaite in both
periods results in an increase of 17.2% to £186.5 million. This result was
supported by favourable market and economic conditions and increased
transactional activity in the majority of our businesses.
Income from principal transactions increased significantly to £93.6 million
(2004: £52.0 million) mainly as a result of the strong performance of the
underlying assets within the Direct Investments, Private Equity, Property and
Central Funding portfolios and an improved performance from our market making
activities.
Operating income from associates decreased by 58.7% to £2.9 million (2004: £7.1
million). The current period figures include Investec's 47.7% share of the
reported operating earnings of Rensburg Sheppards plc for the period 6 May 2005
to 30 September 2005. In the prior period our most significant associate
investment was Capital Alliance Holdings Limited.
The decline in net income from assurance activities is as a result of the
reinsurance of the group risk business during the prior period. A net profit of
£1.5 million (2004: £5.2 million) was generated from assurance activities, which
represents the residual earnings from the businesses that were retained.
Other operating income of £3.9 million (2004: £3.6 million) principally
represents net rental income earned by the Central Funding division.
Impairment losses on loans and advances
Impairment losses on loans and advances decreased by 38.3% to £5.2 million
(2004: £8.5 million) largely as a result of a large provision made in the prior
period.
The percentage of gross non-performing loans (NPLs) to core loans and advances
decreased from 0.9% to 0.7%. Total impairment coverage remains highly
satisfactory both as a percentage of gross NPLs and net NPLs (gross NPLs net of
security), at 69.6% and 150.0% respectively.
Administrative expenses
Total administrative expenses increased by 12.0% to £252.8 million (2004: £225.7
million), and by 21.6% if the costs of Carr Sheppards Crosthwaite are excluded
in both periods. Variable remuneration increased by 37.4% to £60.1 million due
to increased profitability. Other operating expenses increased by 5.9% to £192.7
million largely as a result of an increase in headcount in certain of the
businesses in line with our growth initiatives and the introduction of a
long-term incentive plan for a group of senior employees in June 2005.
We achieved our target of operating expenses to total operating income of less
than 65% as the ratio decreased from 68.7% to 61.9%, principally as a result of
the strong growth in operating income of 23.6%.
Goodwill impairment
The charge for goodwill impairment increased from negative £4.3 million to £6.6
million. The current charge largely relates to impairment of goodwill
attributable to property management contracts with respect to a portfolio of
properties sold. The prior period included an amount of £5 million relating to
negative goodwill arising from a structured finance transaction.
Non-operating items
• Non-operating items principally includes a profit of £79.5 million
arising out of the effective 52.3% sale of Carr Sheppards Crosthwaite to
Rensburg plc offset by Investec's £3 million share of integration costs
relating to the transaction.
• The prior period included provisions for losses arising on the sale of
the banking subsidiary in Israel and losses arising on the closure of the
Traded Endowments operation in the UK.
Taxation
• The operational effective tax rate of the group increased from 24.2% to
26.9% due to a reduction in the level of non-taxable income.
Capital resources
Since 1 April 2005 total capital resources (including total equity and
subordinated liabilities) increased by 21.2% to £1.9 billion largely as a result
of the issue of €200 million (£132 million) preferred securities by a subsidiary
of Investec plc in June 2005, the gain on the sale of Carr Sheppards Crosthwaite
and increased operating earnings.
The annualised return on adjusted shareholders' equity (inclusive of
compulsorily convertible instruments) increased from 18.7% to 22.1%, exceeding
our target of 20%.
Investec plc and Investec Limited are well capitalised with capital adequacy
ratios comfortably exceeding the minimum regulatory requirements. The capital
adequacy of Investec plc (applying UK Financial Services Authority rules to its
capital base) is 18.7% (March 2005: 15.5%). The capital adequacy of Investec
Limited (applying South African Reserve Bank rules to its capital base) is 17.9%
(March 2005: 20.1%).
Assets under administration
Since 1 April 2005 third party assets under management have increased by 37.0%
from £33.9 billion to £46.4 billion, with sound growth across all ranges of
funds. On balance sheet assets grew by 1.2% from £19.9 billion to £20.2 billion
with strong growth in core advances offset by a decline in reverse repurchase
agreements and cash collateral on securities borrowed.
Outlook
-------
Within the context of a competitive operating environment, we have continued to
enhance the quality and sustainability of our earnings. We firmly believe that
our niche focus, our ability to be distinctive and the capability of our people
will enable us to take advantage of favourable market conditions and the board
remains confident on the outlook for the remainder of the financial year.

Presentation of financial information
-------------------------------------
Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with primary
listings of Investec plc on the London Stock Exchange and Investec Limited on
the JSE Limited.
In terms of the contracts constituting the DLC structure, Investec plc and
Investec Limited effectively form a single economic enterprise in which the
economic and voting rights of ordinary shareholders of the companies are
maintained in equilibrium relative to each other. The directors of the two
companies consider that for financial reporting purposes, the fairest
presentation is achieved by consolidating the results and financial position of
both companies.
Accordingly, the interim results for Investec plc present the results and
financial position of the combined DLC group under IFRS, denominated in Pounds
Sterling. In the commentary above, all references to Investec or the group
relate to the combined DLC group comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited.
The following significant corporate actions have been undertaken during the
period under review and the previous financial year:
• The sale of our 80.28% stake in Investec Bank (Israel) Limited to The
First International Bank of Israel Ltd on 22 December 2004.
• The reinsurance of the group risk business conducted by Investec Employee
Benefits to Capital Alliance Holdings Limited (CAL) executed on 31 December
2004.
• Investec Limited issued R2.3 billion (£207.3 million) of non-redeemable,
non-cumulative, non-participating preference shares in February 2005.
• The sale of our associate investment in CAL, to Liberty Group Limited
effective on 31 March 2005.
• The acquisition of HSBC's private client business in South Africa

Crosthwaite Ltd, to Rensburg plc on 6 May 2005. We retain 47.7% interest in

June 2005.
Accounting policies and disclosures
-----------------------------------
Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards
---------------------------------------------------------
From 1 April 2005 we are required to prepare our consolidated results
(comprising the results of Investec plc and Investec Limited) in accordance with
IFRS. Previously these were prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). The first full year IFRS compliant financial
statements that will be prepared by us will be for the year ending 31 March
2006.
Our transition to IFRS has been performed in accordance with IFRS 1 'First-Time
Adoption of International Reporting Standards' and other relevant standards
expected to be applicable at 31 March 2006.
The following dates are applicable for the transition to IFRS:
• 1 April 2004 - date of transition to IFRS, being the start of the
earliest period of comparative information.
• 30 September 2004 - six month comparative period to 30 September 2005.
• 31 March 2005 - twelve month comparative period to 31 March 2006.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 1, we have elected not to apply the
requirements of IAS 32, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Recognition', IAS
39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and IFRS 4, 'Insurance
Contracts' to the comparative period. The impact of adoption of these standards
is reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet at 1 April 2005. To
facilitate comparability, a pro-forma income statement is presented which
incorporates the impact of the adoption of IAS 32 and IAS39 in the following
respects:
• recognising certain fees on an effective yield basis,
• the release of general provisions on loans and advances and
• fair value adjustments for embedded derivatives.
IFRS 4 only effects the presentation of the balance sheet.
On 21 September 2005 we released a stock exchange announcement and a transition
to IFRS report detailing the impact of IFRS on our previously reported UK GAAP
consolidated results. This information can be found on our website at
www.investec.com
Future developments under IFRS
The financial information contained in this announcement has been prepared on
the group's expectation of standards that will be applicable at 31 March 2006
(being the first time that the group will prepare annual financial statements
under IFRS). Changes to information presented in this report may be required due
to one or more of the following reasons:
• Further standards and interpretations may be issued that could be
applicable to the financial year ending 31 March 2006.
• Interpretations may differ as practice develops.
• Tax legislation and tax related interpretations may develop further.
