Investment Review
A summary of the results for the six months ended 30th September 1999 is set
out overleaf. The net asset value has risen from 195.7p per share at 31st
March 1999 to 202.9p per share at 30th September 1999. This represents an
increase of 3.7% over the last six months and a rise of 12.0% since 30th
September 1998. A projected final net asset value at 31st October 2003,
calculated using the principal bases and assumptions set out overleaf which,
inter alia, assume no further changes in life office bonus rates, is 271.3p
per share.
DEPT 2003 has maintained a fully invested position in endowment policies
throughout the period. It currently has investments in policies from a total
of 48 with-profits life funds. During the period DEPT 2003 received proceeds
of policy maturities amounting to #1.3m. The average annualised return on
these policies was 13.2%.
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.
Year 2000
The Managers (Dresdner RCM) have instigated a programme to establish the risks
posed to the Trust by the consequences of the Year 2000 date change and to
address those risks. Dresdner RCM's objective is to ensure business
continuity through the Year 2000 date change and for all internal systems to
be Year 2000 compliant. Dresdner RCM will also require both its suppliers and
the suppliers to the Trust to ensure that their systems achieve the same or
equivalent standard. Costs relating to the Year 2000 programme are to be
borne by Dresdner RCM.
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 has
been sought for the year ended 31st March 1999 and is expected to be granted
for the current accounting year. The Company is not a close company.

The full accounts for the year ended 31st March 1999, which have been
summarised above for comparative purposes, received an unqualified auditors'
report and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
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
1) The final net asset value has been calculated at 31st October 2003,
on the basis that all policies are held to maturity and no death claims arise.
2) The latest definitive reversionary and terminal bonus rates declared
at 30th September 1999 continue to apply until maturity.
3) #50,000 of further policies maturing in 2003 are purchased each month
from October 1999 to December 2000 inclusive.
4) The estimated mid-market gross redemption yields as at 30th September
1999, for policies of differing remaining terms, are assumed to remain
unchanged, and purchases are made at the same margin over those yields as is
currently considered to be attainable.
5) Annual expenses are assumed to be in line with the estimates
originally published in the listing particulars for DEPT 2003 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 1999.
