“(6) For the purposes of subsection (5) above “the relevant fraction”, in relation to a category of business, is the fraction of which—

(a) the numerator is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the category, reduced by the mean of the opening and closing values of any assets directly referable to the category; and

(12) For the purposes of subsection (11) above “the relevant fraction”, subject to subsection (13) below, is the fraction of which—

(a) the numerator is the mean of the total balances brought forward and carried forward in the fund accounts for those funds within which the society conducts its long term business less the mean of the assets already recognised at the beginning and end of the period of account as held for the purposes of long term business carried on by the society; and

(b) the denominator is the mean of the total balances brought forward and carried forward on all of the society’s fund accounts less the mean of the opening and closing values of assets already recognised at the beginning and end of the period of account as held for the purposes of long term business or for the purposes of other specific business carried on by the society.

(13) A balance on a general management fund or a general reserve fund shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator in the calculation of the relevant fraction for the purposes of subsection (11) above.
