The deferred profit participation was an asset item in 2011. Based on the business model used in life insurance and the management rules applied in the Group, this asset item will be reduced over the term of the policy. The appropriateness of the entire technical liability will also be regularly checked under a discounted cash flow model (“liability adequacy test”).

The large change that took place in the previous year due to the revaluations affecting income resulted mainly from capital gains that were realised in accordance with local law, and were then eliminated in the Group as a temporary result.
