The reference to a structural asset of a company's long-term business includes shares, debts and loans which—
a
are held by the company in a fund that is not a with-profits fund, and
b
are of a kind that, if they had been held on 31 December 2012, their value would have been required to be entered in lines 21 to 24 of Form 13 in the periodical return of the company for the period ending immediately before 1 January 2013 (UK insurance dependants and other insurance dependants).
