INTERIM RESULTS as at 30th September 2002
Investment Review
A summary of the results for the six months ended 30th September 2002 is set out
below. The net asset value has fallen from 221.3p per share at 31st March 2002
to 216.7p per share at 30th September 2002. This represents a decrease of 2.1%
over the last six months and a decrease of 5.0% since 30th September 2001. This
contrasts with a fall in the FTSE All-Share Index over the last six months of
29.6%.
A projected final net asset value at 31st October 2003, calculated using the
principal bases and assumptions set out below which, inter alia, assume no
further changes in life office bonus rates applying at 30th September 2002, is
232.2p per share. If, however, reversionary and terminal bonus rates were to be
cut immediately by 20% from these levels then the projected final net asset
value at 31st October 2003 would be 220.3p per share. The net asset value and
projected final net asset values reflect the Standard Life terminal bonus
reductions announced on 30th September 2002.
DEPT 2003 currently has investments in policies from a total of 46 with-profits
life funds. During the period DEPT 2003 realised proceeds of #8.2 million on the
maturity of policies. The average annualised return on these policies was 10.1%
since purchase. This calculation does not include any windfalls that have arisen
from the demutualisation of life offices or the distribution of orphan assets
during the ownership of the policies.
The Trust has twelve months remaining before its planned winding up on 31st
October 2003. Accordingly, policy maturities are steadily increasing and
proceeds have, in the main, been invested in fixed interest securities, which
represented 28.1% of total investments at 30th September 2002.
Earnings and Dividend
DEPT 2003 is managed with the objective of providing returns to investors
entirely in the form of capital growth. The continuing deficit on the revenue
account is consistent with this objective. Consequently, no dividend will be
payable.
Share Buy Back
During the period under review the Company bought back 599,000 Ordinary Shares
of 10p each for cancellation at an average discount of 9.4%.
Status
The Company operates as an approved investment trust within the meaning of
Section 842 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Such approval is
expected to be granted for the year ended 31st March 2002 and for the current
accounting year. The Company is not a close company.

The Returns per Ordinary Shares have been calculated using a weighted average
number of shares in issue during the period of 29,787,680 shares (30th September
2001 30,009,248; 31st March 2002 - 30,009,248 shares).
Note 2
The revenue column of this statement is the profit and loss account of the
Company.
All revenue and capital items derive from continuing operations. No operations
were acquired or discontinued in the period.
Note 3
This Interim Report has been neither audited nor reviewed by the Company's
auditors. It has been prepared using the same accounting policies as those
adopted in the Annual Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2002, which have
been summarised above and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors'
opinion on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under
section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
The Interim Report will be sent to shareholders and made available to the public
at the Registered Office of the Company, 10 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 3LB.
Principal bases and assumptions used in projecting the final net asset value
The final net asset value has been calculated at 31st October 2003, on the basis
that:
1) All policies are held to maturity and no death claims arise and no
further material purchases of policies are made.
2) The reversionary and terminal bonus rates declared as at 30th
September 2002 continue to apply until maturity.
3) The estimated mid-market gross redemption yields as at 30th September
2002, for policies of differing remaining terms, are assumed to remain
unchanged.
4) Annual expenses are assumed to be in line with recent experience and
future annual inflation is assumed to be 3%. Interest rates over the
Company's remaining life are assumed to be consistent with the shape of the
swap rate yield curve at 30th September 2002.
