13.1 Non-recurring restructuring costs
  The non-recurring restructuring costs resulted from the review of the International Risk Services business in the 2005 financial year. Included in these costs was a provision for historical lease issues of R57 million. The group negotiated the early settlement of a lease over previously unoccupied premises in the current year resulting in an R18 million release of the onerous lease provision. There was a net R4 million charge in the current year relating to other provisions made in the previous year.

    Details of the proposed settlement off er are provided in the Directors’ Report contained nancial statements. 
  13.3 Provision for additional potential historical financial exposures
    As detailed in the Directors’ Report, an amount of R100 million has been provided for that have arisen from the wider review of historical business practices in the South African group. This review is substantially complete and is expected to be completed by August 2006. Importantly, the additional potential exposures identified relate to historical practices which do not have a material eff ect on current earnings.
