Project costs                                                                   
In determining the value of in-force business, the value of future expenses in  
respect of certain planned projects that focus on both administration and       
distribution aspects of the life insurance business, is deducted. These projects
are of a short-term nature, although similar projects may be undertaken from    
time-to-time. No allowance has been made for anticipated future productivity    
gains.                                                                          
Where appropriate, special development costs that relate to investments in the  
Group`s distribution platform are not allowed for in the projections.  These    
costs are included in embedded value earnings from life operations as they are  
incurred.                                                                       
Taxation                                                                        
Projected tax is based on current tax legislation and rates, except where future
changes in tax legislation or rates have been announced.                        
Allowance has been made for the impact of capital gains tax on investments in   
South Africa, other than investments in Group subsidiaries.  The assumed        
rollover period for realisation of these investments is five years.             
Allowance is made for STC by placing a present value on the tax liability       
generated by the net cash dividends paid that are attributable to life insurance
business. It is assumed that all future dividends will be paid in cash.
