This is the point i was making a above. The 1.84 eps, did not include the stocks they hold. It was the insurance business on its own. If you added the stocks they hold it would have been a negative EPS.
Check out the FY 2011 results.
If you check HY 2012 results, the EPS is lower than HY 2011. insurance biz vs insurance biz.

so 2012 EPS will most definately be lower than 2011 EPS (insurance biz)
Howerver overall EPS including stocks will most definately be higher.
