Company Revenue decreased with 8.9%, the lower volume of disbursements had an adverse impact on the loan related fees and interest earned. • Operating expenditure (excl. impairments, bad debts provisions and bad debt write offs) was contained well during the year, in response to the constrained income-generating activities. • Impairments and provisions stabilised during the year as a result of the provisioning exercise that was undertaken in previous years, showing a decrease in movement of 79.9%. • Total assets increased by 4% when compared to previous year, mainly due to an increase in the value of investment properties. • Loans and advances declined by 18% - correlating to the improved collection rate, as well as the reclassification of NBF (a RFI which was acquired in July 2011), to equity. The acquisition also resulted in an amount of R31.9m impairment, relating to the goodwill on the acquisition of NBF. • Uncommitted cash R403.7m (2011: R110.9) resulting in an increase in investment income.
