Embedded value assumptions UK life and pensions i) The assumed future pre-tax returns on fixed interest and RPI linked securities are set by reference to redemption yields available in the market at the end of the reporting period. The corresponding return on equities and property and the risk discount rate have been set by reference to the fixed interest gilt assumption. The economic assumptions were: At 31.12.03 At 31.12.02 % p.a. % p.a. Investment return - Gilts - Fixed interest 4.7 4.5 - RPI linked 4.6 4.4 - Non-gilts - Fixed interest 5.1 - 5.5 4.9 - 5.8 - RPI linked 5.1 - 5.4 4.8 - 5.3 - Equities and property 7.3 7.1 Risk discount rate (after tax) 7.2 7.0 Inflation - Expenses/earnings 3.8 3.3 - Indexation 2.8 2.3 The assumed returns on non-gilt securities are net of an allowance for default risk of 0.20% p.a. (2002: 0.20% p.a.), other than for certain government-supported securities where no such allowance is made. ii) Assets are valued at market value. For the projection of fixed interest and RPI linked investment returns, asset values are adjusted to reflect the assumed interest and inflation rates. iii) Capital reported as transferred into the LTF since 1996, in the form of subordinated debt and any remaining excess consideration over the net asset value of subsidiaries transferred from the LTF in December 2001, is treated as residual. iv) The value of the sub-fund is the discounted value of projected investment returns for a period of 20 years (2002: 20 years). v) Development costs relate to the development of strategic administration systems. vi) Future bonus rates have been set at levels which would fully utilise the assets supporting with-profits business. The proportion of profits derived from with-profits business allocated to shareholders has been assumed to be 10% throughout. ================================================================================ Legal & General Group Plc P12 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. Embedded value assumptions (continued) vii) The value of in-force business reflects the cost of providing for benefit enhancement or compensation in relation to certain products including administration expenses. viii) Other actuarial assumptions have been set at levels commensurate with recent operating experience, including those for mortality, persistency and maintenance expenses (excluding the development costs referred to above). These assumptions are reviewed annually. An allowance is made for future improvements in annuitant mortality based on externally published data. For end 2003, male annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with CMI Working Paper 1, projection SC for experience and projection MC for statutory reserving. Female annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with CMI Report No. 17. ix) Business in force comprises previously written single premium, regular premium and recurrent single premium contracts. For this purpose, DWP rebates have not been treated as recurrent and their value is included as premiums are received. x) Projected tax has been determined assuming current tax legislation and rates. xi) AP results are computed on an after tax basis and are grossed up to the pre-tax level for presentation in the profit and loss account. The tax rate used for grossing up is the corporation tax rate of 30% (2002: 30%), except for the profit attributable to shareholder net worth, where the rate used is derived from the tax attributed to the contribution from shareholder net worth in the MSS accounts. To arrive at operating profit, the contribution from shareholder net worth is grossed up at a rate to reflect the tax associated with a longer term investment return. UK managed pension funds The UK life and pensions economic assumptions are used. All contracts are assumed to lapse after 10 years. Fees are projected on a basis which reflects current charges or, if less, anticipated charges. New business consists of monies received from new clients and incremental receipts from existing clients, and excludes the roll-up of the investment returns. Development costs relate to strategic systems. International Key assumptions are: At 31.12.03 At 31.12.02 % p.a. % p.a. USA Reinvestment rate 4.8 4.8 Risk discount rate (after tax) 6.8 6.4 Europe Government bond return 4.5 4.5 Risk discount rate (after tax) 8.0 8.0 ================================================================================ Legal & General Group Plc P13 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. Alternative assumptions The discount rate appropriate to any investor will depend on the investor's own requirements, tax and perception of the risks associated with the anticipated cash flows to shareholders. The table below shows the effect of alternative discount rates and equity and property yields on the UK life and pensions embedded value and new business contribution for the period. 1% lower 1% higher 1% higher risk risk equities/ As discount discount property published rate rate yields Â£m Â£m Â£m Â£m Effect on embedded value 4,253 +260 -230 +230 at 31 December 2003 Effect on new business 271 +37 -33 +20 contribution for the period It should be noted that in calculating the alternative values all other assumptions are left unchanged. ================================================================================ Legal & General Group Plc P14 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits Basis Year ended 31 December 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Contingent liabilities, guarantees and indemnities Provision for the liabilities arising under contracts with policyholders is based on certain assumptions. The variance of actual experience from that assumed may result in such liabilities differing from the provisions made for them. Liabilities may also arise in respect of claims relating to the interpretation of such contracts, or the circumstances in which policyholders have entered into them (together in this paragraph 'liabilities'). The extent of such liabilities is influenced by a number of factors including the actions and requirements of the FSA, by ombudsman rulings, by industry compensation schemes and by court judgements. The continuing general profile and emphasis being given by the FSA and other bodies to the suitability of the past sales of endowment policies in the context of some mortgage transactions has led to the continuing receipt of claims from holders of endowment policies. On 27th November 2003, Legal & General Assurance Society Limited ('the Society') referred to the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal ('Tribunal') a Decision Notice issued by the FSA in relation to the sale of a small proportion of its mortgage related endowment policies issued between 1997 and 1999 ('Notice'). The matters contained in the Notice will be determined by the Tribunal later this year. Provision for liabilities continues to be made and is regularly reviewed. However, it is not possible to predict, with certainty, the extent and the timing of the financial impact to which these liabilities may give rise. The relevant members of the Group nevertheless consider that each makes prudent provision for such liabilities, as and when circumstances calling for such provision become clear, and that each has adequate capital and reserves to meet all reasonably foreseeable eventualities. In 1975 the Society was required by the Institute of London Underwriters (ILU) to execute the ILU form of guarantee in respect of policies issued through the ILU's Policy Signing Office on behalf of NRG Victory Reinsurance Company Ltd (Victory), a company which was then a subsidiary of the Society. In 1990, Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep Holding nv (the assets and liabilities of which have since been assumed by Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep NV under a statutory merger in the Netherlands) acquired Victory and provided an indemnity to the Society against any liability the Society may have as a result of the ILU's requirement, and the ILU agreed that its requirement of the Society would not apply to policies written or renewed after the acquisition. Whether the Society has any liability as a result of the ILU's requirement and, if so, the amount of its potential liability is uncertain. The Society has made no payment or provision in respect of this matter.
