PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest accounts
produced by the managers of the funds in which of PIP has holdings. In the case
of the valuation as at 30 September 2006, the majority of valuations are dated
30 June 2006. Private equity funds may contain a proportion of quoted shares
from time to time, for example where the underlying company investments have
been taken public but the holdings have not yet been sold. The quoted market
holdings at the date of the latest fund accounts are reviewed and compared with
the value of those holdings at the year end. If there has been a material
movement in the value of these holdings, the valuation is adjusted to reflect
this.
