Their net assets of Â£580m are now attributed to UK life and pensions. This impact, together with the further increase in subordinated debt of Â£355m less net capital invested in operational subsidiaries of Â£15m, is reported as a capital movement. Also following this transfer, the shareholder net worth attributable to UK managed pension funds is the shareholders' funds on the MSS basis of Â£116m and this has been reported as a capital movement which took place at the year end. ** For the UK life and pensions business, shareholder net worth comprises the shareholder retained capital (SRC) on the MSS basis, adjusted for deferred acquisition costs, and the sub-fund, both net of an appropriate allowance for tax. It also includes intra-group subordinated debt capital of Â£502m (2000: Â£147m) but excludes the net assets of Â£68m (2000: Â£201m net of value of in-force business) of LTF operational subsidiaries. ====================================================================== Legal & General Group Plc P10 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.Shareholders' funds Segmental analysis 2001 2000 Â£m Â£m Embedded value of life and pensions businesses: - UK* 4,432 3,868 - USA 492 443 - Netherlands 74 67 - France 67 68 --------- --------- 5,065 4,446 Institutional fund management** 283 251 --------- --------- 5,348 4,697 General insurance 91 76 Banking 92 92 Corporate funds*** (537) 409 --------- --------- 4,994 5,274 ========= ========= Movement At 1 January 5,274 5,250 (Loss)/profit for the financial period (43) 243 Exchange movements (1) 13 Dividends (261) (243) Increase in share capital/share premium 5 11 Goodwill written back on sale of Fairmount Group plc 20 - --------- --------- At 31 December 4,994 5,274 ========= ========= * Including Â£502m (2000: Â£147m) of intra-group subordinated debt capital attributed to the SRC previously reported within Corporate funds. ** Including Â£252m (2000: Â£240m) net assets of UK managed pension funds business. *** Corporate funds includes the convertible debt of Â£515m and the senior debt of Â£502m (2000: Â£147m) which has been lent to the UK LTF. ====================================================================== Legal & General Group Plc P11 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.Borrowings 2001 2000 Â£m Â£m Convertible bond 515 - Mortgage-related 529 279 Attributed to the SRC 502 147 Other 96 145 --------- --------- Total borrowings 1,642 571 ========= ========= The convertible bond is due in 2006 with a coupon of 2.75% p.a. and is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at 204p per share. If converted, this bond would give rise to the issue of 257.4m new ordinary shares which represents approximately 5% of the current issued share capital. ====================================================================== Legal & General Group Plc P12 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16.Embedded value assumptions UK life and pensions i) For the LTF all assets which, following the reclassification of the SRC in 1996, have been treated as 'backing assets' and thus encumbered, will continue to be treated as such. Capital reported as transferred into the LTF since 1996, in the form of subordinated debt and the excess of the consideration over the net asset value of subsidiaries transferred from the LTF in December 2001, is treated as residual. ii) 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 is set by reference to the fixed interest gilt assumption. As at 31.12.2001 As at 31.12.2000 Investment return % p.a. % p.a. - Gilts - Fixed interest 5.0 4.7 - RPI linked 5.0 4.7 - Non-gilts - Fixed interest 5.4 - 6.3 5.3 - 6.5 - RPI linked 5.1 - 5.8 5.0 - 6.0 - Equities and property 7.6 7.3 Risk discount rate (after tax) 7.5 7.2 Inflation - Expenses/earnings 3.5 3.6 - Indexation 2.5 2.6 The assumed returns on non-gilt securities are net of an allowance for default risk of 0.15% p.a., other than for certain government-supported securities where no such allowance is made. In 2000 an overall allowance of 0.05% p.a. was used. iii) 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. iv) The value of the sub-fund is the discounted value of projected investment returns for a period of 20 years (2000: 20 years). v) Development costs relate to new strategic administration systems, stakeholder pensions, and in 2001, start up costs relating to the Barclays strategic alliance. 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. vii) The value of the in-force business reflects the cost of providing for benefit enhancement to certain products and for compensation in relation to pension transfers and opt-outs, including administration expenses. Legal & General Group Plc P13 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16.Embedded value assumptions (continued) 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 are reviewed annually. An allowance is made for secular trends in annuitant mortality based on externally published data with the end 2001 assumptions taking into account the improvement factors contained in CMI Report No.17. ix) Business in force comprises previously written single premium, regular premium and recurrent single premium contracts. For this purpose, DSS rebates have not been treated as recurrent and their value is included in the value of new business as the premiums are received. x) Projected tax has been determined assuming current tax legislation and rates, except where future changes have been announced. 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% (2000: 30%), except for the profit attributable to shareholder net worth, where the rate used is derived from the tax attributed to the contribution from the shareholder net worth in the MSS accounts. UK managed pension funds The UK life and pensions economic assumptions are used. All contracts are assumed to lapse after ten years. Fees are projected on a basis which reflects current charges and, 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 product and geographical coverage initiatives. Legal & General Group Plc P14 Notes to Financial Statements - Achieved Profits basis Year ended 31 December 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16.Embedded value assumptions (continued) International Key assumptions are: As at 31.12.2001 As at 31.12.2000 % p.a. % p.a. USA Reinvestment rate 6.5 7.0 Risk discount rate (net of tax) 7.6 7.7 The assumed future pre-tax return is projected from the actual investment portfolio less specific margins for the risks associated with the investments.

Europe Government bond return 5.0 5.2 Risk discount rate (net of tax) 8.5 8.5 ====================================================================== 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.
