Audited results and dividend announcement
For the year ended 31 December 2007
For Standard Bank, 2007 was a momentous year in which we:
weathered global financial market stresses not seen in the last decade;
finalised acquisitions in the important emerging markets of Argentina, Turkey
and Nigeria;
negotiated and gained the necessary approvals for the historic transaction
between Standard Bank and ICBC which resulted in us gaining a valuable
strategic partner and a significant injection of tier one capital in a cost
effective manner; and
achieved financial results that met our published objectives for growth in
headline earnings per share and return on equity.
Overview of financial results
Operating conditions in local and international markets in the second half of
the year contrasted starkly with the more favourable conditions in the six
months to June 2007. Despite the worsening environment, Standard Bank Group
continued to perform strongly, building on the excellent financial results
achieved in the first half of the year. For the full year to 31 December 2007,
headline earnings per share grew by 23,4% to 1 033,4 cents per share and the
group achieved a return on equity of 26,7% on an IFRS basis.

Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The abridged consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with,
and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the
South African Companies Act. The consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with the going concern principle under the historical cost basis
as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities where required
or elected in terms of IFRS.
Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies are consistent with those adopted in the previous year
except for:
The adoption of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. This new standard
has not changed the recognition of financial instruments but has resulted in
the reclassification of certain financial assets and fee expenses.
The adoption of other accounting standards and interpretations issued with an
effective date of 1 January 2007. The adoption of these standards and
interpretations has not had a material effect on the results, nor has it
required any restatements of the results.
The early adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The standard has no impact
on the group's results but has impacted the format of disclosure and
measurement of the results of reportable segments.
The early adoption of IFRIC 11 IFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions.
The group's accounting treatment already complies with this interpretation and
it has therefore not impacted the group's results or position.
The group changing its accounting policies relating to:
transactions with minority shareholders where the group purchases an
additional interest from minority shareholders or sells a portion of its
interest to minority shareholders, while the group controls the entities both
before and after the transaction. Any excess of the purchase consideration over
the group's proportionate share of the additional net asset value of a
subsidiary acquired is now accounted for directly in equity. Previously, the
group accounted for the excess as goodwill. Any profit or loss on the partial
disposal of the group's interest in a subsidiary is also accounted for directly
in equity. Previously, the group accounted for the profit or loss on partial
disposal in the income statement;
the measurement of investment guarantees, in terms of actuarial Practice
Guidance Note 110, on certain insurance contracts. The new model will more
accurately reflect fair value. The cumulative impact is not material to the
group's results; and
certain modelling (valuation) changes in respect of insurance contracts.
These changes have influenced expected cash flows and ultimately liability
determined values as well as timing of profit recognition on the individual
insurance policies. The cumulative financial impact is not material.
Other reclassifications
Following a review of interest rate swap transactions, interest income has now
been set-off against corresponding interest expense amounts.
Audit opinion on the annual financial statements
These abridged financial statements have been extracted from the audited
financial statements on which KPMG Inc. and PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. have
issued an unmodified audit report. This report is available for inspection at
the company's registered office.
