1. Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) is calculated for total new business, including core retail investments but excluding institutional fund management, and comprises the new annual premiums together with 10% of single premiums.

2. The present value of new business premiums (PVNBP) on the EEV basis is defined as the present value of annual premiums plus single premiums for any given period. It is calculated using the same assumptions as for the contribution from new business but determined as at the point of sale.

3. The new business margin is defined as the contribution from new business (including the cost of solvency capital) divided by the PVNBP.

4. UK core retail investments excludes institutional investments in unit trust funds which are disclosed as part of institutional fund management new business in Note 2.11. H1 07 has been restated to reflect this change.
