1 Simple bank model Document prepared by BSM Unit May 11 Table of Contents 1. Summary of functional relationships.... Impairments Endownment estimate outline Non interest revenue Fee and commission income Total Non interest income not used currently pls see note above Margin income Operating expenditure Advances P age

2 1. Summary of functional relationships Impairments = f(debt service cost(t); average real house price growth(t); average USDZAR(t)) Endowment = f(rate sensitivity(t); change in rates(t)) Fee and commission income = f(nominal GDP(t )) Opex = cpi infl+% Margin =.1% Balance sheet growth for margin income = credit extension growth Margin income = (balance x margin). Advance Impairments growth = credit extension growth P age

3 .1. FRBG estimation model output Current impairment rate = 93bps as at 11 Change in impairment rate is modelled through the following function. Advances growth is assumed to be static in line with endowment balances Variable description for FRB Model Debt servicing cost Growth in House Price Index Average debtservice charge for quarter ended average annual growth rate in real ASAHPI (defalted by ECPI) aver_debtch=(debtservch+debtservch(-1)+debtservch(- )+debtservch(-3))/ USD/ZAR annual average USD/ZAR rate aver_usdzar=(usdzar+usdzar(-1)+usdzar(-)+usdzar(-3))/ Dum9 Dummy variable = 1 from 199 debtservch=rpor*nhddis(-1)/1 Dependent Variable: LOG(ODDS_FSR) Date: 8/5/1 Time: 1:35 Sample (adjusted): 198Q 9Q Included observations: 36 after adjustments LOG(AVER_DEBTCH(-)) LOG(AVER_USDZAR) C DUM9*LOG(AVER_RASAHPI/AVER_RASAHPI (-)) R-squared Mean dependent var Adjusted R-squared.813 S.D. dependent var.919 S.E. of regression Akaike info criterion Sum squared resid Schwarz criterion Log likelihood Hannan-Quinn criter F-statistic Prob(F-statistic). 3 P age

Industry estimation model output not used in model Variable description for Industry Model Debt servicing cost Growth in House Price Index Growth in real GDP USD/ZAR debtservch=rpor*nhddis(-1)/1 Annual growth in ASAHPI deflated by ECPI Real GDP growth (annualised GDP) annual average USD/ZAR rate Dependent Variable: LOG(ODDS) Date: 8/3/1 Time: 9: Sample (adjusted): 199Q 9Q Included observations: 63 after adjustments LOG(DEBTSERVCH(-)) C LOG(RASAHPI(-)/RASAHPI(-8)) LOG(RGDPA(-6)/RGDPA(-1)) LOG(AVER_USDZAR) R-squared.8653 Mean dependent var Adjusted R-squared.8966 S.D. dependent var.196 S.E. of regression Akaike info criterion Sum squared resid Schwarz criterion Log likelihood Hannan-Quinn criter F-statistic Durbin-Watson stat.5665 Prob(F-statistic) P age

7 3. Endownment estimate outline 3.1. Income statement Current method this method is used because of the fact that the BS size is not observable on a regular basis: Income statement charge in quarter = (cumulative change in interest rates since beginning of financial year)*(t/)*(annual rate sensitivity of 1bps rate movement). o Where T = quarters remaining in the financial year. Rate sensitivity = 65 (as per Dec 1 results presentation ). (similarly, quarterly change in endowment = quarterly change in rates*(annual rate sensitivity/)*time to end of the year measured in quarters as per model) Growth rate in underlying asset is assumed to be directly related to credit extension growth Alternative method used previously uses rate sensitive BS size and rate change: 56*.8=5*i (1) 56*i 56(i*.) = 56(i i*.) = 56(i i*.) = 56(i i*.) =56(i(1.)) =56*i*.8 =5*i =(1) Cap+3i 3* NMD+56i+56i*. NRA+1* 1*i =65*i Then, income statement charge = change in above from t to t+1. 7 P age
