Note: Information in this document is presented on a cash earnings basis, unless otherwise stated.
Cash earnings is a key financial performance measure used by NAB, the investment community and NAB's Australian peers with a similar
business portfolio. NAB also uses cash earnings for its internal management reporting as it better reflects what NAB considers to be the
underlying performance of the Group. It is not a statutory financial measure and is not presented in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards nor audited or reviewed in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. "Cash earnings" is calculated by excluding some items
which are included within the statutory net profit attributable to owners of the company. A definition of cash earnings is set out on page [150] of
the 2012 Half Year Results Announcement. A discussion of non-cash earnings items and a full reconciliation of the cash earnings to statutory
net profit attributable to owners of the Company for the March 2012 half year is included on pages 22 and 141 of the 2012 Half Year Results
Announcement. The Group's financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and Australian Accounting
Standards, and reviewed by the auditors in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, are included in section 5 of the 2012 Half Year
Results Announcement.
