(I) any increase in value of those investments (whether realised or unrealised) shall be taken into account as a receipt, and

(II) any decrease in value of those investments (whether realised or unrealised) shall be taken into account as an expense,

to the extent that the increase or decrease, as the case may be, is included in the value of those liabilities as valued by the actuary to the company, and
