* After elimination of intra-<strong>Group</strong> transactions across segments.<br />

Premiums from long-term insurance business, especially in the<br />

segments life and health, are recognised in full as earned premiums<br />

and income when they become due. In the case of unit-linked business,<br />

only those parts of the premium used to cover the risks and<br />

associated costs are included. Of the gross premiums written from<br />

short-term insurance business, the portions attributable to periods<br />

after the balance sheet date are posted as unearned premiums; cf.<br />

Note (19). Unearned premiums are reversed, in accordance with the<br />

reduction in risk, over the duration of the contracts.<br />
