The consolidated statement of recognised income and expense reflects all items
of income and expense for the period, including items taken directly to equity
in accordance with IFRS. Movements in individual reserves include amounts which
relate to minority interests; the impact of such amounts is then reflected in
the amount attributable to such interests. Income and expense recognised
directly in equity is recorded on a gross basis with any related tax recorded on
the separate tax line.

The available for sale reserve reflects gains or losses arising from the change
in fair value of available for sale financial assets except for impairment
losses and foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary items such as debt
securities, which are recognised in the income statement. When an available for
sale asset is impaired or derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in the available for sale reserve is transferred to income. The
movement in the first half of 2006 reflects net unrealised losses from changes
in fair value and the transfer of net realised gains to the income statement on
disposal of assets.

Cash flow hedging aims to minimise exposure to variability in cash flows that is
attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or
liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or
loss. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is deemed
to be an effective hedge is recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve. The
movement in the first half of 2006 primarily reflects net unrealised losses from
changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments. The gains and losses
deferred in this reserve will be transferred to the income statement in the same
period or periods during which the hedged item is recognised in the income
statement.

Exchange differences arising on the net investments in foreign operations and
effective hedges of net investments are recognised in the translation reserve
and transferred to income on the disposal of the net investment. The movement in
the period primarily reflects the impact of changes in the value of the Rand on
the minority interest in Absa Group Limited and changes in the value of the US
Dollar on net investments which are economically hedged through
dollar-denominated preference share capital, but where the hedging item is not
revalued for accounting purposes.

Other movements primarily reflect the change in insurance liabilities taken
directly to reserves.
