PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF UNAUDITED RESULTS
For the year ended 31st December 2007
Investment Review - 2009 Pool
A summary of the results for the 2009 Pool for the year ended 31st December 2007
is set out on page 5. The Net Asset Value has risen from 149.6p per 2009 Share
at 31st December 2006 to 157.0p per 2009 Share at 31st December 2007, an
increase of 4.9%.
The 2009 Pool currently has investments in policies from a total of 53
with-profits funds. During the period the 2009 Pool realised proceeds of policy
maturities amounting to �4.5 million. The average annualised return on these
policies was 5.83% since purchase. This calculation does not include windfalls
such as those arising from demutualisations.
The financial year saw modest returns produced in equities, with the FTSE
All-Share Index providing a 2.3% capital return. However, the onset of the
credit crunch, which originated from financial products set up to fuel the
growth of the US mortgage market, has caused disruptions in recent months in
global financial markets reflecting the unravelling of these products.
In the UK, the highest profile casualty has been Northern Rock, which will now
be nationalised. Given the contraction in credit banks are now understandably
more cautious in their lending policies than last year.
Outlook
In general, investment returns have been more modest than in previous years.
Conditions in global credit markets, however, have recently led to much greater
concern about the outlook for global growth. In particular, there has been a
marked deterioration in commercial property values, and more recently equity
markets, which form a major component of many with-profits funds. In this
environment, life companies are likely to take a cautious approach to setting
bonuses this Spring.
Projected final net asset values
The Company publishes projected final net asset values on a regular basis.
These projections are based on a range of future bonus rate levels, which will
reflect, inter alia, the investment returns earned by the underlying
with-profits funds. Final net asset values projected as at 31st December 2007
are given in the table below.
200% Current 150% Current 120% Current 100% Current 80% Current No Further
Bonus Rates Bonus Rates Bonus Rates Bonus Rates Bonus Rates Bonuses
Projected final net asset
value at 31st December 2009
(2009 Pool) 205.2p 183.0p 170.0p 161.3p 152.9p 120.3p
Projected final net asset values are calculated using the principal bases and
assumptions set out at the end of this document. These illustrations are given
to provide an indication of the sensitivity of the projected final net asset
value to bonus rate changes. They should not be taken as forecasts of any
particular degree of change in bonus rate levels.
Accrued guaranteed benefits
Guaranteed benefits are attached to the policy portfolio (comprising sums
assured and reversionary bonuses declared to date) and these have continued to
grow as reversionary bonuses have been declared over the year. Stated as a
projected final net asset value after projected expenses - including the cost of
borrowings - they represented 120.3p per 2009 Share as at 31st December 2007.
Share buybacks and borrowings
No shares were bought back during the year for the 2009 share class. The Board
intends to seek renewed authority from shareholders to buy back up to 15% of the
issued 2009 share capital of the Company at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting. Borrowings net of cash and fixed interest securities held represented
2.9% of total net assets for the 2009 Pool at the year end.
Earnings and dividend
The Company is managed with the objective of providing returns to investors
entirely in the form of capital growth. The continuing deficit on the revenue
account of the Company is consistent with this objective. Consequently, no
dividend will be payable on the 2009 Shares.
Status
The Company operates as an approved investment trust within the meaning of
Section 842 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Approval has been
granted for the year ended 30th September 2005. Under the Proposals outlined
in the Circular to shareholders dated 21st August 2006 the Company became
ineligible for investment trust status after the Bonus Issue and
reclassification of 2006 Shares into Reclassified Shares becoming effective.
The Company thus was without investment trust status for the period from 30th
September 2006 until 31st December 2006, when the new accounting period ended.
The Directors conducted the affairs of the Company to minimise any chargeable
gains arising in this period. In addition, losses are available to set against
any chargeable gains arising in this period. Approval is expected to be granted
for the year ended 30th September 2006 and the year commencing 1st January 2007.
The Company is not a close company.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 24th April 2008 at 12:30pm.

ALLIANZ DRESDNER SECOND ENDOWMENT POLICY TRUST plc
Principal bases and assumptions used in projecting the final net asset values on
page 1.
The final net asset values for the 2009 Pool have been calculated at 31st
December 2009 on the basis that:
1) All policies are held to maturity, no further death claims or
demutualisation benefits are received and no further purchases or disposals of
policies are made;
2) The latest reversionary and terminal bonus rates declared at 31st
December 2007 continue to apply until maturity or are reduced immediately by 20%
or 100% or increased by 20%, 50% or 100%;
3) The estimated mid-market gross redemption yields as at 31st December
2007, 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, in so far as not fixed by swaps, are assumed to be consistent
with the shape of the swap rate yield curve at 31st December 2007; and
5) No further shares are issued or repurchased, nor are any dividends paid.
6) They do not account for any likely costs of liquidation.
Notes
Note 1
The return per 2006 Share is based on a weighted average number of 2006 Shares
in issue prior to their repayment on 6th October 2006, of 20,073,064.
The return per 2009 Share is based on a weighted average number of 2009 Shares
in issue during the year of 19,745,000.
Note 2
The total return column on this statement is the profit and loss of the 2006 or
2009 Pools or of the Company. All revenue and capital items derived from
continuing operations. No operations were acquired or discontinued in the year.
A Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses is not required as all gains
and losses of the 2006 or 2009 Pools or of the Company have been reflected in
the relevant Income Statements.
Note 3
Endowment policies, listed investments and interest rate swaps are held at fair
value through profit or loss in accordance with FRS 26 "Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement". Listed investments are valued at bid market
price.
Note 4
The financial information set out in the announcement does not constitute the
Company's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2007.
The financial information for the fifteen months ended 31st December 2006 is
derived from the statutory financial statements for that period which have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those
financial statements; their report was unqualified and did not contain a
statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory
financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2007 will be finalised on
the basis of the financial information presented by the Directors in this
preliminary announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies
following the Company's Annual General Meeting. This announcement has been
prepared using the same accounting policies as those adopted in the financial
statements for the period ended 31st December 2006.
