Achieved profits methodology and assumptions The results have been prepared in accordance with the draft 'Guidance on Accounting for Long Term Insurance Business' in the Group Accounts of Proprietary Companies (The Achieved Profits Method) issued by the ABI and are prepared as a supplement to the statutory basis results contained in this report. For the purpose of producing interim results, the methodology is based on rolling forward the embedded value published at 1998 year-end. Changes in new business, interest rates and investment returns are reflected each quarter, whereas non-economic parameters such as persistency and expenses are normally only adjusted annually in the year end results. Although the group's life and savings business is predominantly long term it also includes substantial businesses such as service companies. Accounting for these businesses continues to be on the traditional method. The key economic assumptions are listed below: United Kingdom France Netherlands 6 months 6 months 6 months 6 months 6 months 6 months 1999 1999 1999 1999 1999 1999 Embedded Operating Embedded Operating Embedded Operating value profit value profit value profit % % % % % % Risk margin 4.0 * 4.0 * 5.2 5.2 4.5 4.5 After tax 4.1 3.3 2.8 2.3 3.1 2.6 discount rate (excluding risk margin) Risk discount 8.3 * 7.4 * 8.1 7.7 7.7 7.2 rate Pre-tax investment returns: Government 5.3 4.4 4.6 3.9 4.7 3.9 fixed interest securities Ordinary shares 7.8 6.9 6.6 5.9 7.5 6.8 Property 6.3 5.4 5.6 4.9 5.6 4.9 Future expense 3.7 3.0 2.5 2.5 2.5 2.5 inflation Tax rate for 30.0 40.0 25.0 grossing up profits and new business contribution * For unit linked business, the risk margin is 4.7%
