ALLIANZ DRESDNER ENDOWMENT POLICY TRUST 2010 plc
Six months to 31st December 2008
Investment Review
A summary of the results for the six months ended 31st December 2008 is set out
overleaf. The Net Asset Value as at 31st December 2008 was 115.9p per share
compared to 130.8p as at 30th June 2008 and 130.2p as at 31st December 2007.
This represents a decrease of 11.0% since 31st December 2007, and a decrease
of 11.4% over the last six months. Over the year to 31st December 2008 the
Company's share price declined by approximately 14% to 95.5p.
The Company currently has investments in policies valued at GBP23.5 million from
a total of 33 with-profits funds. The Board has determined that, in the absence
of reliable transactional data, the most appropriate basis of valuation of the
Company's portfolio is that of estimated surrender value.
During the six month period the Company received proceeds of policy maturities
amounting to GBP2.4 million. The average annualised return on these policies was
4.7%, excluding benefits arising from demutualisation.As at 31st December 2008,
the Company had repaid in full all borrowings and had fixed interest, cash and
swap positions of GBP2.4 million, approximately 9.4% of total net assets.
The six month period to 31st December 2008 was a difficult one for financial
markets. Equities, corporate bonds, property and many commodity markets saw
steep falls. September witnessed the surprising failure of or rescue of, amongst
others, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The UK experience over
the past year has been almost as difficult as that of the US, with only
wholesale government intervention forestalling a sudden loss of liquidity at
several large commercial banks (HBOS, RBS) and preventing the collapse of
various smaller lenders (Bradford and Bingley and Northern Rock).
Outlook
In the short term at least, the outlook is likely to be one of continued
volatility in equity markets and a pattern of rising defaults within credit
markets. It is also probable that property markets will remain under pressure
given the negative outlook for both the commercial and residential sectors.
In this difficult context it is no surprise that many life offices have already
reduced bonus rates, and whilst this trend may continue for the foreseeable
future, shareholders can take some comfort from the fact that a significant
proportion of the Company's net asset value is represented by sums assured and
declared reversionary bonuses.
Projected final net asset values
The Company publishes projected final net asset values on a regular basis. These
projections are based on possible future bonus rate levels, which will reflect,
inter alia, the investment returns earned by the underlying with-profits funds.
Projected final net asset values as at 31st December 2008 are given in the table
below.
+------------+-----------+------------+-------------+------------+-----------+
| | 120% | 100% | 80% | 50% | No |

| | Bonus | Bonus |Bonus Rates | Bonus | Bonuses |

+------------+-----------+------------+-------------+------------+-----------+
Projected final net asset values are calculated using the principal bases and
assumptions set out on the last page of this announcement. They 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 rate levels.
Accrued guaranteed benefits
Guaranteed benefits are included in the policy portfolio, comprising sums
assured and reversionary bonuses declared to date. Assuming no further bonuses,
but after deducting estimated future expenses, at 31st December 2008 they
represented a projected final net asset value of 105.0p.
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 is consistent with this objective. Consequently, no dividend will be
payable.
Share buy backs
During the period under review, no Ordinary Shares were bought back for
cancellation.
VAT on Management Fees
Following the ruling of the European Court of Justice in the VAT case brought by
JP Morgan Fleming Claverhouse Trust plc in conjunction with the AIC, settlement
has been reached with the Manager, RCM (UK) Limited, in respect of recovery of
VAT paid in past years. On 16th October 2008 GBP110,291 was paid to the Company
by the Manager as a settlement in relation to VAT paid in the period to 30th
June 2007, when the Company ceased paying VAT on management fees.
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
granted for the accounting year ended 30th June 2007 and is expected to be
granted for the year ended 30th June 2008. The Company is not a close company.

This Half Yearly Statement 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 Financial Report for the year ended 30th June 2008,
which have been summarised above and delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The Auditors' opinion on the Annual Financial Report was unqualified and did not
contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
The Half Yearly Report will be sent to shareholders and made available to the
public at the Registered Office of the Company, 155 Bishopsgate, London EC2M
3AD.
Principal bases and assumptions used in projecting the final net asset value
The final net asset value has been calculated at 31st December 2010 on the basis
that:
1. All policies are held to maturity, no 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
2008 continue to apply until maturity or are reduced immediately by 20%, 50% or
100% or increased by 20%.
3. The estimated mid-market gross redemption yields, as at 31st December 2008,
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 payable and receivable by
the Company 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 yield curve at 31st
December 2008.
5. No further shares are issued or repurchased, nor are any dividends paid.
6. Projections do not make any allowance for the expenses of winding up the
Company.
