* Adjusted operating profit represents the directors' view of the underlying
performance of the Group. For life assurance and general insurance businesses,
adjusted operating profit is based on a long term investment return and
includes investment returns on own shares held within the policyholders'
funds. For banking business, adjusted operating profit excludes the loss on
disposal / write-down of investment in Dimension Data Holdings plc,
restructuring and integration costs and the transitional impact of the change
of credit provisioning methodology. For all businesses, adjusted operating
profit excludes goodwill amortisation and impairment and fines and penalties.
Adjusted operating earnings per share are similarly based, but are stated
after tax and minority interests, with the calculation of the weighted average
number of shares including own shares held in policyholders' funds. The
segmental analysis within the achieved profits consolidated profit and loss
account has been prepared after eliminating inter-segment results.
** Refer to segmental analysis of results in section 7.

5 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The results for the six months to 30 June 2004 and the position at that date
have been prepared on the same basis as those used in the Group 2003 Annual
Report, except as set out below. These supplementary financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the methodology for supplementary reporting for
long term insurance business (the achieved profits method) issued in December
2001 by the Association of British Insurers.
Changes in accounting policies
Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of UITF Abstract
38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. This Abstract requires that Group's holdings in
own shares held by Employee Share Ownership Trusts (ESOP Trusts) be accounted
for as a deduction from shareholders' funds (profit and loss account) rather
than recorded as an asset. In addition, purchases and sales of such own shares
should be shown as changes in shareholders' funds such that no profit or loss is
recognised. In the majority of cases, the ESOP Trusts have waived their rights
to dividends such that there is no impact on operating profit after tax. The
reductions in achieved profits equity shareholders' funds at 30 June 2004, 31
December 2003 and 30 June 2003 were £113 million (R1,270 million), £109 million
(R1,301 million) and £110 million (R1,356 million) respectively, representing
the original cost of these shares.
In the second half of 2003 the Group adopted UITF Abstract 37 'Purchases and
Sales of Own Shares'. As a result, shares of the Company held by the Group's
long term policyholders' funds were accounted for as deduction from equity
rather than as an asset and the investment return earned and dividends paid on
these shares were no longer shown in the profit and loss account. The 30 June
2003 comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of this
Abstract. For the six months ended 30 June 2003, operating profit after tax
increased by £14 million (R181 million) and dividends paid have been restated to
exclude dividends in respect of own shares, resulting in an overall increase in
retained profit of £18 million (R232 million). Basic earnings per share have
been restated to reflect a reduction in the weighted average number of shares in
issue of 316 million. At 30 June 2003, the reduction in achieved profits equity
shareholders' funds was £267 million (R3,303 million).
In determining the adjusted embedded value, a pro forma adjustment has been made
to include the market value of own shares held in policyholders' funds.

Expected return on the unencumbered capital for South Africa and the United
States is 13.0% p.a. (December 2003: 13.4%; June 2003: 13.4%) and 6.0% p.a.
(December 2003: 7.0%; June 2003: 7.0%) respectively. For South Africa the
expected return is applied to the average unencumbered capital given in section
6.
The segmental results of the United States include the operating profit
generated by Old Mutual Reassurance in Ireland, which provides reinsurance to
the United States life companies, and OMNIA Life (Bermuda) Ltd.
The effect of changes in and cost of solvency capital for South Africa reflects
changes in the amount of solvency capital required and in the mix of assets
backing the solvency capital.
The effect of FSV economic assumption changes reflects the impact of reducing
the economic assumptions for the South African actuarial liability valuation by
3% p.a.
The effect of BoE Life reflects the recognition of the initial value of the in-
force business on acquisition.

8 VALUE OF NEW BUSINESS
The tables below set out a geographical analysis of the value of new business
(VNB) for the six months to 30 June 2004, six months to 30 June 2003 and the
year to 31 December 2003. Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) is calculated as
recurring premiums plus 10% of single premiums. New business profitability, as
measured by the ratio of the VNB to the APE, is also shown under 'Margin' below.
The value of new business is shown both on a gross and after tax basis. The
assumptions and tax rates used to calculate the value of new business are set
out in section 9.

The new business shown above for 30 June 2004 for South African Group recurring
premium business includes bulk new business into existing schemes, with value of
new business of £1 million (R10 million) after tax and APE of £3 million (R33
million).
The new business shown above for the United States for 31 December 2003 and 30
June 2003 excludes the value of OMNIA Life (Bermuda) business that was acquired
during 2003, and which is included within the value of new business shown in
section 7.
The value of new individual unit trust and some group market-linked business
written by the life companies is excluded, as the profits on this business arise
in the asset management subsidiaries. The value of new business also excludes
premium increases arising from indexation arrangements in respect of existing
business, as these are already included in the value of in-force business. The
premiums shown for the United States exclude reinsurance ceded externally.

9 ASSUMPTIONS
The principal assumptions used in the calculation of the value of in-force
business and the value of new business are set out below.
* The pre-tax investment and economic assumptions used for South African and
United States businesses were as follows:
South Africa At At At
30 June 31 December 30 June
2004 2003 2003
Fixed interest return 10.4% 9.4% 9.4%
Equity return 12.4% 11.4% 11.4%
Property return 11.4% 10.4% 10.4%
Inflation 6.9% 6.4% 6.4%
Risk discount rate 12.9% 11.9% 11.9%

New money yield assumed 6.4% 6.0% 5.8%
Net portfolio earned rate 6.2% 6.4% 6.6%
Risk discount rate 8.6% 8.3% 7.6%
* For the other operations, appropriate investment and economic assumptions
were chosen on bases consistent with those adopted in South Africa. Where
applicable, rates of future bonuses have been set at levels consistent with
the investment return assumptions. Projected company taxation is based on
the current tax basis that applies in each country.
* For the South African business, full allowance has been made for STC that
may be payable in South Africa. Account has been taken of the impact of
CGT in South Africa. It has been assumed that 10% of the equity portfolio
(excluding group subsidiaries) will be traded each year. For the United
States business full allowance has been made for existing tax attributes
of the companies, including the use of existing carry forwards and
preferred tax credit investments. Achieved profits results are initially
calculated on an after tax basis and are then grossed up to the pre-tax
level for presentation in the profit and loss account and the segmental
analysis of results. The tax rates used were the effective corporation tax
rates of 37.8% for South African business (December 2003: 37.8%; June 2003:
37.8%), 30% for United States business (December 2003: 25%; June 2003: 30%)
and 0% for United Kingdom and Rest of World business (December 2003: 0%;
June 2003: 0%) except for the investment return on South African capital,
for which the attributed tax was derived from the primary accounts.
* The assumed future mortality, morbidity and voluntary discontinuance rates
have been based as far as possible on analyses of recent operating
experience. Allowance has been made where appropriate for the effect of
expected AIDS-related claims.
* The management expenses attributable to life assurance business have been
analysed between expenses relating to the acquisition of new business and
the maintenance of business in-force. The future expenses attributable to
life assurance business do not include Group holding company expenses.
* No allowance has been made for future development costs.
* Future investment expenses are based on the current scales of fees payable
by the life assurance companies to the asset management subsidiaries. To
the extent that these fees include profit margins for the asset management
subsidiaries, these margins have not been included in the value of in-force
business or the value of new business.
* The effect of increases in premiums over the period for policies in-force
has been included in the value of in-force business only where such
increases are associated with indexation arrangements. Other increases in
premiums of existing policies are included in the value of new business.

months ended 30 June 2004
9 ASSUMPTIONS continued
* New schemes written on which recurring single premiums are expected to be
received on a regular basis are treated as new business. The annualised
premium is recognised as recurring premium new business at inception of the
scheme and is determined by annualising the actual premiums received during
the year in question. Subsequent recurring single premiums received in
future years are not treated as new business, as these have already been
provided for in calculating the value of in-force business.
* The sensitivity of the value of in-force and value of new business to
changes in the central risk discount rate are set out in section 10.

foreign business segments to Sterling are:

10 ALTERNATIVE ASSUMPTIONS
The tables below for South Africa and the United States show the sensitivity of
the value of in-force at 30 June 2004 and the value of new business for the six
months to 30 June 2004 to changes in the central risk discount rate. In
determining the values at different central discount rates, all other
assumptions have been left unchanged. The value of new business is shown before
tax.
The sensitivity of the adjustment for discounting CGT, which is included in the
shareholders' adjusted net worth, to changes in the central discount rate is not
material and is not included in the table below.
