Note
(1) Operating profit for insurance operations includes investment returns at
the expected longer-term rate of return. For the purposes of the
presentation shown above, to be consistent with the alternative earnings
per share, operating profit excludes amortisation of goodwill and merger
break fee, net of related expenses. The directors believe that operating
profit, as adjusted for these items, better reflects underlying
performance. Profit on ordinary activities before tax includes
these items together with actual investment returns and profit on
business disposals.

Notes on the Supplementary Achieved
Profits Basis Results
(a) The achieved profits basis results for the
2001 and 2000 half years are unaudited.
The results for 2000 full year have been
derived from the achieved profits basis supplement to the
Company's statutory accounts for that
year. The supplement included an unqualified review
report from the auditors. The results for
the 2001 half year have been prepared
using the same principal assumptions as
were used for the 2000 full year.
(b) The results have been prepared in
accordance with the draft 'Guidance on
accounting in Group Accounts for
proprietary companies' long-term insurance business'
issued by the Association of British
Insurers in July 1995.
(c) The proportion of surplus allocated to
shareholders from the UK with profits
business has been based on the present
value of 10%.
Future bonus rates have been set at levels
which would fully utilise the assets of
the with profits fund over the lifetime of
the business
in force.
(d) In February 2001 the Company acquired
Orico Life Insurance Company of Japan. The
total cost of purchase (including
acquisition costs) was £139m.
The fair value of the acquired net assets
including business in force was £nil.
Goodwill of £139m is being amortised on a
straight line basis over 20 years.
(e) In February 2001 the Company announced the
restructuring of the direct sales force
and customer service channels of the UK
Insurance Operations. The total expected costs of
this restructuring, including amounts
borne by the long-term fund of the
Prudential Assurance Company
Limited are £110m. After including amounts
borne by the fund, but attributed to
shareholders, the cost recognised on the
achieved profits basis
is £24m.
(f) In March 2001 the Company entered into a
merger agreement with American General
Corporation, a US investment, life
insurance, and consumer
finance group. On 11 May, following the
termination of the merger and in
accordance with the terms of the
agreement, a fee of $600m (£423m)
was paid to the Company by American
General.
After deducting employment costs incurred
as a consequence of the proposed merger
for the company's US operations, advisor
costs, and other directly related expenses of £85m, an
exceptional item of £338m has been
accounted for within the Group's results.

NOTES ON THE UNAUDITED STATUTORY BASIS RESULTS
(a) The results for the 2001 and 2000 half years are unaudited. The results
for the 2001 half year have been prepared using the same accounting
policies as were used in the 2000 statutory accounts. The results for the
2000 full year have been derived from those accounts. The auditors have
reported on the 2000 statutory accounts and the accounts have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237 (2)
or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
(b) The long-term business profit of the UK insurance operations has been
calculated assuming that the shareholder proportion of surplus allocated
to shareholders from the with profits business of The Prudential
Assurance Company Limited remains at 10%. Provision has been made for
possible reductions in bonus rates arising from the fund valuation at
31 December 2001.
(c) In February 2001 the Company announced the restructuring of the direct
sales force and customer service channels of the UK Insurance operations.
The total expected direct costs of this restructuring, including
amounts borne by the long term fund of the Prudential Assurance Company
Limited, are £110m. On the statutory basis of reporting £13m of the
£110m is recognised as the cost to shareholders, reflecting the amounts
borne by the shareholder financed operations.
(d) The statutory tax charge for the half year ended 30 June 2001 of £184m
(half year 2000 £162m) comprises £124m (£93m) UK tax and £60m (£69m)
overseas tax.
