(combined results) Unaudited combined
consolidated financial results
for the year ended 31 March 2019

This announcement covers the statutory results of Investec plc and Investec Limited
(together "the Investec group" or "the group") for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Group operational performance supported by our client franchises
-  The group has delivered a sound operational performance supported by
   substantial net inflows, good loan book growth in home currency, and
   a significantly improved performance from the UK Specialist Banking
   business.

-  This is against a challenging operating environment with weak economic
   growth in both South Africa and the UK, the group's two core banking
   markets, as well as mixed equity market performance over the year.

-  The Asset Management business generated substantial net inflows
   supporting higher average funds under management and annuity fees.

-  The Bank and Wealth business benefitted from client acquisition and
   growth in key earnings drivers.

-  The Specialist Banking business performance was supported by loan
   book growth. A reduction in impairments was partly offset by a weak
   performance from the investment portfolio.

-  The Wealth & Investment business generated positive discretionary net
   inflows. Reported results were affected by certain non-recurring items.

-  Operating costs grew faster than revenue. Revenue growth and cost
   containment remain priorities as outlined over the past year.

-  ROE improved from 12.1% to 12.9%.

Overview of results
Group adjusted operating profit increased 9.4% year-on-year to
GBP664.5 million. The combined South African businesses reported
adjusted operating profit 1.8% ahead of the prior period in Rands, whilst
the combined UK and Other businesses posted a 36.1% increase in
adjusted operating profit in Pounds Sterling. Overall group results have
been negatively impacted by the depreciation of the average Rand: Pound
Sterling exchange rate of 4.8% over the year. Key earnings drivers have been
negatively impacted by the depreciation of the closing Rand: Pound Sterling
exchange rate of 13.1% over the year.

(2)  The group has changed its cost to income ratio definition to exclude operating
     profits or losses attributable to other non-controlling interests. Refer to definitions in
     the Notes for further detail.

-  The group maintained a sound capital position with common equity
   tier one (CET1) ratios of 10.8% for Investec plc and 10.5% for Investec
   Limited. Investec Limited has received regulatory permission to adopt
   the Foundation Internal Ratings Based (FIRB) approach, effective
   1 April 2019, resulting in a pro-forma CET1 ratio of 11.6% had the FIRB
   approach been applied as of 31 March 2019. Leverage ratios are robust
   and remain comfortably ahead of the group's target of 6%.

-  The proposed demerger and separate listing of Investec Asset
   Management (still subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals) is
   progressing well.

Fani Titi and Hendrik du Toit, Joint Chief Executive Officers of Investec said:
"We are implementing our strategy to simplify, focus and grow with discipline.
We are committed to the demerger and listing of the Asset Management
business and the positioning of the Bank and Wealth business for long-term
growth. In spite of a challenging operating environment, these results speak
to strong support from our clients."

Investec is an international specialist bank and asset manager that provides
a diverse range of financial products and services to a select client base in
three principal markets - the UK and Europe, South Africa and Asia/Australia
as well as certain other countries. The group was established in 1974 and
currently has approximately 10 500 employees.

Investec focuses on delivering distinctive profitable solutions for its clients in
three core areas of activity namely, Asset Management, Wealth & Investment
and Specialist Banking.

-  IAM: A leading global asset manager with GBP111 billion in assets under
   management (as at 31 March 2019), well diversified by asset class and
   region.

-  Wealth & Investment Business: One of the leading UK and South
   African private client investment managers with over GBP55 billion in
   assets under management as at 31 March 2019.

   institutional banking, investment and private banking activities in South
   Africa and the UK with GBP25 billion in core loans and advances and
   GBP31 billion in customer deposits as at 31 March 2019.

In July 2002 the Investec group implemented a dual listed company structure
with listings on the London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. On
14 September 2018, the board of directors of the Investec group announced
the proposed demerger and separate listing of the Investec Asset
Management business subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
The combined group's current market capitalisation is approximately
GBP4.9 billion.

Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for
the year ended 31 March 2019
Business unit review
Asset Management
Assets under management have increased by 7.3% to GBP111.4 billion
as at 31 March 2019. Substantial net inflows of GBP6.1 billion supported
higher average assets under management, together with favourable market
and currency movements. Asset Management adjusted operating profit

increased by 0.7% to GBP179.4 million (2018: GBP178.0 million). Earnings
were impacted by lower performance fees in South Africa and higher costs
in the UK, including ongoing investment in the business, Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and new premises costs.

Bank and Wealth
Adjusted operating profit from the combined Bank and Wealth business
increased by 13.0% to GBP485.2 million (2018: GBP429.5 million).

Specialist Banking - adjusted operating profit increased by 18.0% to
GBP448.9 million (2018: GBP380.5 million).

The South African business reported an increase in adjusted operating
profit in Rands of 2.3%. Earnings were supported by growth in private
client interest and fee income and an increase in associate earnings from a
realisation in the IEP Group. This was partially offset by subdued corporate
activity levels and a weaker performance from the equity and investment
property portfolios; impacted by a weak domestic economy. Overall net core
loans grew 5.6% to R271.2 billion at 31 March 2019. Costs increased ahead
of revenue, impacted by the prior-year rental provision release. The credit
loss ratio amounted to 0.28%, remaining flat at the lower end of its long term
average, despite the business reporting an increase in impairments.

The UK and Other businesses reported a significant increase in adjusted
operating profit. A strong increase in net interest income was supported
by loan book growth of 8.5% (to GBP10.5 billion) driven by both corporate
client lending and Private Bank mortgage origination. This was largely offset
by a decrease in non-interest revenue with a weaker performance from
the investment portfolio and subdued levels of client trading. Impairments
decreased with no repeat of substantial legacy portfolio losses. The credit
loss ratio amounted to 0.38% (2018: 1.14% under the IAS 39 incurred
impairment loss model). Costs increased 2.0%, broadly in line with inflation,
as the investment phase in the Private Bank is now largely complete. Taken
together, the bank's cost to income ratio was 77.4% (2018: 76.7%).

Wealth & Investment - adjusted operating profit decreased by 16.2% to
GBP82.6 million (2018: GBP98.6 million).

The core global Wealth & Investment business performed in line with the prior
year. However, overall reported earnings were impacted by a non-recurring
investment gain realised in the prior year and the current year write-off of
capitalised software in the Click & Invest business as detailed below. The
underlying business generated annuity revenue growth, but lower transaction
based fees. Positive discretionary net inflows were partly offset by non-
discretionary outflows resulting in net inflows of GBP0.4 billion. Assets under
management decreased by 1.7% to GBP55.1 billion as at 31 March 2019,
primarily impacted by currency and market movements.

We have reviewed the Click & Invest online investment platform and decided
to discontinue the service in line with the group's commitment to manage
costs and allocate capital effectively. The underlying operating loss of Click &
Invest was circa GBP12.8 million (2018: GBP13.5 million). In addition a circa
GBP6 million write-off of capitalised software was taken in the current year.
The group remains committed to developing its digital initiatives and will look
to incorporate the technology into its offering.

Further information on key developments within each of the business units
is provided in the group results analyst booklet published on the group's
website: http://www.investec.com

Group costs
These largely relate to a portion of executive and support functions costs
associated with group level activities, group brand, marketing, and corporate
social responsibility initiatives. These costs are not incurred by the operating
divisions and are necessary to support the operational functioning of the
group. These costs decreased to GBP46.3 million (2018: GBP49.6 million).
Management is committed to bringing these costs down further over time.

Financial statement analysis
Total operating income
Total operating income before expected credit loss impairment charges
increased by 1.8% to GBP2,486.3 million (2018: GBP2,443.5 million).

Net interest income increased by 7.2% to GBP815.4 million
(2018: GBP760.4 million) driven by lending activity and endowment impact
from rate rises in the UK.

Net fee and commission income increased by 0.9% to GBP1,373.6 million
(2018: GBP1,361.2 million). Strong annuity fees from the asset and wealth
management businesses, as well as a good performance from the UK
investment banking business was offset by lower performance, brokerage
and deal fees in the South African businesses.

Investment income decreased to GBP50.0 million (2018: GBP130.0 million)
reflecting a weak performance from the group's listed and unlisted
investment portfolio, as well as from the investment property portfolio in
South Africa.

Share of post taxation profit of associates of GBP68.3 million (2018:
GBP46.8 million) reflects earnings in relation to the group's investment in
the IEP Group. The increase is largely driven by a realisation within the IEP
Group.

Trading income arising from customer flow decreased by 12.7% to
GBP120.7 million (2018: GBP138.2 million) reflecting subdued client flow
trading levels given the uncertainty in both geographies.

Trading income from balance sheet management and other trading activities
increased to GBP42.0 million (2018: GBP4.3 million loss). The increase is
largely reflective of translation gains on foreign currency equity investments
in South Africa (partially offsetting the related weaker investment income
performance) as well as the unwind of the UK subordinated debt fair value
adjustment (recognised on the adoption of IFRS 9) as the instrument pulls to
par over its remaining term.

Expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges
The total ECL impairment charges amounted to GBP66.5 million, a
substantial reduction from GBP148.6 million (under the IAS 39 incurred loss
model) in the prior year, primarily reflecting a reduction in legacy impairments.
The group's credit loss ratio is within its long term average range at 0.31%
(2018: 0.61%). Since 1 April 2018 gross core loan Stage 3 exposures
have reduced by 29% to GBP521 million driven by a reduction of legacy
exposures. Net Stage 3 exposures as a percentage of net core loans subject
to ECL was 1.3% (1 April 2018: 2.0%).

Total operating costs
Operating costs increased 3.8% to GBP1,695.0 million
(2018: GBP1,632.7 million) primarily driven by higher premises costs given
the prior-year rental provision release in South Africa and headcount growth
to support business activity, regulatory requirements and information
technology development. The cost to income ratio (net of non-controlling
interests) amounted to 69.9% (2018: 68.3%).

Taxation
The effective tax rate amounted to 12.0% (2018: 9.6%) which remains below
the group's historical effective tax rate impacted by the utilisation of tax
losses and the release of provisions no longer required.

Non-operational costs
Non-operational costs amounted to GBP19.5 million (2018: GBP6.0 million)
and relate primarily to the restructure of the Irish branch as a consequence
of Brexit and costs incurred as part of the proposed demerger and separate
listing of the Investec Asset Management business.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests mainly comprises:

-  GBP25.7 million (2018: GBP23.8 million) profit attributable to non-
   controlling interests in the Asset Management business.

-  GBP58.0 million (2018: GBP52.6 million) profit attributable to non-
   controlling interests in the Investec Property Fund.

Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2018:

-  Shareholders' equity decreased by 2.8% to GBP4.3 billion primarily as
   a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 on 1 April 2018 as well as from the
   depreciation of the closing Rand: Pounds Sterling exchange rate.

-  Net asset value per share decreased 4.1% to 434.1 pence and net
   tangible asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible
   assets) decreased 3.9% to 386.0 pence, primarily as a result of the
   adoption of IFRS 9 as well as from the depreciation of the closing Rand:
   Pound Sterling exchange rate.

-  The return on adjusted average shareholders' equity increased from
   12.1% to 12.9%.

Liquidity and funding
As at 31 March 2019 the group held GBP13.3 billion in cash and near
cash balances (GBP7.0 billion in Investec plc and R118.4 billion in Investec
Limited) which amounted to 42.4% of customer deposits. Cash balances
increased in the UK largely driven by prefunding ahead of the restructure of
the Irish branch. As a result of Brexit, deposit raising in our Irish business
will no longer be undertaken and existing deposits are being unwound.
The group continues to focus on maintaining an optimal overall liquidity
and funding profile. Loans and advances to customers as a percentage
of customer deposits amounted to 78.4% (31 March 2018: 79.6%). The
group comfortably exceeds regulatory liquidity requirements for the Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). Investec Bank
Limited (solo basis) ended the period to 31 March 2019 with the three-
month average of its LCR at 135.6% and an NSFR of 115.6%. Further detail
with respect to the bank's LCR and NSFR in South Africa is provided on
the website. For Investec plc and Investec Bank plc (solo basis) the LCR
is calculated using our own interpretations of the EU Delegated Act. The
LCR reported to the PRA at 31 March 2019 was 313% for Investec plc and
291% for Investec Bank plc (solo basis). Ahead of the implementation of the
final NSFR rules, the group has applied its own interpretations of regulatory
guidance and definitions from the BCBS final guidelines to calculate the
NSFR which was 128% for Investec plc and 126% for Investec Bank plc
(solo basis). The reported NSFR and LCR may change over time with
regulatory developments and guidance.

Capital adequacy and leverage ratios
The group maintained a sound capital position with a CET1 ratio of 10.8% for
Investec plc and 10.5% for Investec Limited. Investec Limited has received
regulatory permission to adopt the FIRB approach, effective 1 April 2019,
resulting in a pro-forma CET1 ratio of 11.6% had the FIRB approach
been applied as of 31 March 2019. Leverage ratios are robust and remain
comfortably ahead of the group's target of 6%.

(1)  The capital adequacy disclosures follow Investec's normal basis of presentation so
     as to show a consistent basis of calculation across the jurisdictions in which the
     group operates. For Investec plc this does not include the deduction of foreseeable
     charges and dividends when calculating CET1 capital as required under the Capital
     Requirements Regulation and European Banking Authority technical standards. The
     impact of this deduction totalling GBP63 million for Investec plc would lower the
     CET1 ratio by 41bps (31 March 2018: 45bps).
(2)  Investec Limited's capital information includes unappropriated profits. If
     unappropriated profits are excluded from the capital information, Investec Limited's
     CET1 ratio would be 27bps (31 March 2018: 25bps) lower.
(3)  The CET 1 fully loaded ratio and the fully loaded leverage ratio assume full adoption
     of IFRS 9 and full adoption of all CRD IV rules or South African Prudential Authority
     regulations, as applicable in the relevant jurisdictions. As a result of the adoption
     of IFRS 9 Investec plc elected to designate its subordinated fixed rate medium-
     term notes due in 2022 at fair value. By the time of full adoption of IFRS 9 in 2023,
     these subordinated liabilities will have reached final maturity and will be redeemed
     at par value. The remaining interest rate portion of the fair value adjustment at
     31 March 2019 of GBP18 million (post-taxation), has therefore been excluded from
     the fully loaded ratios as it will be released into profit and loss over the remaining life
     of the instrument.

Additional information - proposed demerger and listing
of Investec Asset Management business
On 14 September 2018, the board of directors of Investec plc and Investec
Limited announced that the Investec Asset Management business would
become a separately listed entity. The demerger and the listing of Investec
Asset Management is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, and is
expected to be completed during the second half of 2019.

Outlook
The past year has seen a smooth leadership transition combined with a
strategic review of the group. We are on track with the proposed demerger
and separate listing of Investec Asset Management which should enhance
the long-term prospects of both businesses. We are confident that we have
positioned the businesses to ensure they meet their growth objectives and
deliver long-term shareholder returns.

Notes to the commentary section above
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 combining the results and financial position of
both companies.

Accordingly, the year-end results for Investec plc and Investec Limited
present the results and financial position of the combined DLC group under
International Financial Reporting Standards (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.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in the
commentary above relate to the year ended 31 March 2018.

Amounts represented on a neutral currency basis for income statement
items assume that the relevant average exchange rates for the year to
31 March 2019 remain the same as those in the prior year. Amounts
represented on a neutral currency basis for balance sheet items assume that
the relevant closing exchange rates at 31 March 2019 remain the same as
those at 31 March 2018.

Foreign currency impact
The group's reporting currency is Pounds Sterling. Certain of the group's
operations are conducted by entities outside the UK. The results of
operations and the financial position of the individual companies are
reported in the local currencies in which they are domiciled, including Rands,
Australian Dollars, Euros and US Dollars. These results are then translated
into Pounds Sterling at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates for
inclusion in the group's combined consolidated financial statements. In the
case of the income statement, the weighted average rate for the relevant
period is applied and, in the case of the balance sheet, the relevant closing
rate is used.

The following table sets out the movements in certain relevant exchange
rates against Pounds Sterling over the period:

                                                                                                       Year to                    Year to

Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have
fluctuated over the year. The most significant impact arises from the volatility
of the Rand. The average exchange rate over the period has depreciated by
4.8% and the closing rate has depreciated by 13.1% since 31 March 2018.

Accounting policies and disclosures
These unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial results
have been prepared in terms of the recognition and measurement criteria
of International Financial Reporting Standards, and the presentation and
disclosure requirements of IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the year
ended 31 March 2019 are consistent with those adopted in the financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 except as noted below.

On 1 April 2018 the group adopted IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' which
replaced IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'
and sets out the new requirements for the recognition and measurement of
financial instruments. These requirements focus primarily on the classification
and measurement of financial instruments and measurement of impairment
losses based on an ECL model as opposed to an incurred loss methodology
under IAS 39. Disclosure related to the initial application and the impact of
the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 were included in the group's transition
disclosures published on 15 June 2018 which can be accessed via the
Investec website at www.investec.com.

Additionally, on 1 April 2018 the group adopted IFRS 15 'Revenue from
contracts with customers' which replaced IAS 18 'Revenue'. IFRS 15
provides a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and introduces
the concept of recognising revenue for obligations as they are satisfied.
It applies to all contracts with customers except leases, financial instruments
and insurance contracts. The group's measurement and recognition
principles were aligned to the new standard and hence there has been no
material impact on measurement and recognition principles or on disclosure
requirements from the adoption of IFRS 15.

The financial results have been prepared under the supervision of
Nishlan Samujh, the Group Finance Director. The financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2019 will be posted to stakeholders on 28 June 2019.
These accounts will be available on the group's website on the same date.

Definitions
-  Adjusted operating profit refers to net profit before tax, goodwill, acquired
   intangibles and non-operating items but after adjusting for earnings
   attributable to other non-controlling interests and before non-controlling
   interests relating to Asset Management. Trends within the divisional
   sections relate to adjusted operating profit before group costs. Adjusted
   operating profit is considered an important measure by Investec of
   the profit realised by the group in the ordinary course of operations. In
   addition, it forms the basis of the dividend pay-out policy. Non-IFRS
   measures such as adjusted operating profit are considered as pro forma
   financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma
   financial information is the responsibility of the group's Board of Directors.
   
-  Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders is defined as earnings
   attributable to shareholders before goodwill, acquired intangibles and
   non-operating items but after non-controlling interests and the deduction
   of preference dividends.

-  Adjusted basic earnings per share is calculated as adjusted earnings
   attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of
   ordinary shares in issue during the year

-  Dividend cover is calculated as adjusted earnings per share divided by
   the dividend per share

-  Annuity income is defined as net interest income plus net annuity fees
   and commissions expressed as a percentage of total operating income.

-  The credit loss ratio is calculated as expected credit loss (ECL)
   impairment charges on gross core loans and advances as a percentage
   of average gross core loans and advances subject to ECL.

-  The group has changed its cost to income ratio definition to exclude
   operating profits or losses attributable to other non-controlling interests.
   As such, the cost to income ratio is calculated as: operating costs divided
   by operating income (net of depreciation on operating leased assets and
   net of operating profits or losses attributable to other non-controlling
   interests).

-  Return on adjusted average shareholders' equity is calculated as
   adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders divided by average
   adjusted shareholders' equity; where average adjusted shareholders'
   equity is ordinary shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets
   (excluding software).

-  Core loans and advances is defined as net loans and advances to
   customers plus net own originated securitised assets.

Financial instruments carried at fair value
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into
different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The different levels are identified as follows:

Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
          (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
                                                                                                               Fair value category

During the year GBP15.7 million of level 2 instruments have been transferred into level 3 as a result of inputs to valuation models becoming unobservable in
the market.
The group transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy when the significance of the unobservable inputs change or if the valuation methods changes.
The following table quantifies the gains or (losses) included in the income statement and other comprehensive income recognised on level 3 financial instruments:

Sensitivity of fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by level 3 instrument type
The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices
from observable market data. The following table shows the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions, determined at a
transactional level:

*   The EBITDA and cash flows has been stressed on an investment-by-investment basis in order to obtain favourable and unfavourable valuations
**  The valuation sensitivity for certain equity investments and fair value loans have been assessed by adjusting various inputs such as expected cash flows,
    discount rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect the outcome on a portfolio basis for the purpose of 
    this analysis as the sensitivity of the investments cannot be determined through the adjustment of a single input.
*   The sensitivity of the fair value of liabilities arising on securitisation of other assets has been considered together with other securitised assets.

^^  Underlying asset values are calculated by reference to a tangible asset, for example property, aircraft or shares.

Within the Hong Kong portfolio there is a connected exposure across the investment portfolio, loans and advances to customers and derivatives financial
instruments lines with a balance sheet value of GBP69 million. The consideration of reasonably possible alternative assumptions with respect to the fair value of
this exposure results in a favourable change of GBP95 million and a unfavourable change of GBP69 million, included within the above table.

In determining the value of level 3 financial instruments, the following are the
principal inputs that can require judgement:

Credit spreads
Credit spreads reflect the additional yield that a market participant would
demand for taking exposure to the credit risk of an instrument. The credit
spread for an instrument forms part of the yield used in a discounted cash
flow calculation. In general a significant increase in a credit spread in isolation
will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of a
financial instrument.

Discount rates
Discount rates (including WACC) are used to adjust for the time value
of money when using a discounted cash flow valuation method. Where
relevant, the discount rate also accounts for illiquidity, market conditions and
uncertainty of future cash flows.

Volatilities
Volatility is a key input in the valuation of derivative products containing
optionality. Volatility is a measure of the variability or uncertainty in returns
for a given derivative underlying. It represents an estimate of how much a
particular underlying instrument, parameter or index will change in value
over time.

Cash flows
Cash flows relate to the future cash flows which can be expected from the
instrument and requires judgement.

EBITDA
A company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.
This is the main input into a price earnings multiple valuation.

Price earnings multiple
The price-to-earnings ratio is an equity valuation multiple. It is a key driver in
the valuation of unlisted investments.

Property value and precious and industrial metals
The property value and price of precious and industrial metals is a key driver
of future cash flows on these investments.

Underlying asset value
In instances where cash flows have links to referenced assets, the underlying
asset value is used to determine the fair value. The underlying asset valuation
is derived using observable market prices sourced from broker quotes,
specialist valuers or other reliable pricing sources.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost
The following table sets out the fair value of financial instruments held at amortised cost where the carrying value 
is not a reasonable approximation of fair value.
