Valuation Policy

PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest accounts
produced by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of
the valuation as at 31st March 2011, the majority of valuations (accounting for
circa 89% by value) are dated 31st December 2010. 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.

                                     Ends
