Net Asset Value

The net asset value at 31.03.03 was 96.44p per share.

Prospective return per annum after all Company expenses

The TEP market's valuation currently assumes that bonus rates will remain
unchanged and that the policies held will grow at an average of 7.8% per annum
to maturity.

Since bonus rates will change over the life of the Company the following
information is provided.

If the guaranteed sums attaching to the policies held, less the future premiums
payable to receive those guaranteed amounts, are substituted for the market
values of those policies the resulting figure would be 91.8p* per share. In the
table below, the figures in the column for guaranteed sums assume that no
bonuses are added to the guaranteed sums in future years and no terminal bonuses
are added at maturity. These figures are generated from a worst case scenario.

The prospective annual rate of return to an investor holding shares to
redemption, based on the main assumptions listed below, at current and
alternative policy growth rates would be:


      Policy growth rate                            Market rate  G'teed sums           4%           8%
                                                           7.8%
a)    To an investor buying shares on 31.03.03            16.3%         4.3%        10.5%        16.9%
      at 76.5p
b)    To an initial shareholder who bought                 3.6%        -0.9%         1.4%         3.7%
      shares at 100p

These figures are for illustrative purposes and are not guaranteed.

    in the table allow for all future expenses.
