1. The expected return on in-force is based on the unwind of the risk discount rate on the opening, adjusted base value of in-force (VIF). The opening base VIF of the Risk and Savings business was £4,247m in 2012 (H1 11: £3,886m; FY 11: £3,886m). This is adjusted for the effects of opening model changes of £45m
(H1 11: £193m; FY 11: £200m) to give an adjusted opening base VIF of £4,292m (H1 11: £4,079m; FY 11: £4,086m). This is then multiplied by the opening risk discount rate of 6.2% (H1 11: 7.3%; FY 11: 7.3%) and the result grossed up at the notional attributed tax rate of 22% (H1 11: 23%; FY 11: 23%) to give a return of £169m (H1 11: £190m; FY 11: £387m).
2. Risk non-covered business primarily reflects GI operating profit of £8m (H1 11: £17m; FY 11: £42m). See Note 2.01(f).
3. Savings non-covered business mainly comprises Savings investments on an IFRS basis, adjusted for Suffolk Life, International (Ireland) and Nationwide.
4. Investment management operating profit excludes £13m (H1 11: £13m; FY 11: £24m) of profits arising from the provision of investment management services at market referenced rates to the covered business. These are reported on a look through basis and as a consequence are included in the Risk, Savings and Group capital and financing covered business on an EEV basis.
5. Investment projects predominately relates to Solvency II and other strategic investments.
6. International non-covered business includes our joint venture operations in Egypt, the Gulf, India and business unit costs of £3m (H1 11: £2m; FY 11: £5m) allocated to the International segment.
7. Primarily reflects the implementation of the UK planned future reductions in corporation tax to 22% on 1 April 2014.

Full experience investigations are not undertaken at the half-year. An estimate is made of both positive and negative variances.

H1 12 Risk and Savings mortality experience variances primarily relates to adverse experience in group protection. This continues to trend back to assumptions.

H1 12 Risk and Savings operating assumption changes reflect higher investment expenses during the period driven by a change in the investment mix in the underlying funds.

Adverse International mortality experience variances mainly relate to the higher number of LGA term assurance claims during the period. Persistency variance relates to higher lapses on existing term business in the Netherlands and in the USA.

The H1 12 UK cost of capital unwind includes the impact of the release of capital relating to the in-force book of £14m. The balance also includes the reversal of the cost of capital impact from the unwind of the discount rate on opening adjusted VIF. This is calculated as the opening cost of capital of £372m, multiplied by the opening risk discount rate of 6.2% for half a year, and grossed up for the notional attributed tax rate of 22% to give £14m.

H1 11 Risk and Savings mortality experience variance includes £27m relating to the group protection business, of which half is due to a small number of high value claims. H1 11 Risk and Savings expense operating assumption changes reflects the lower unit costs in individual protection. The H1 11 UK cost of capital unwind includes the impact of the release of capital relating to the in-force book of £11m. The balance also includes the reversal of the cost of capital impact from the unwind of the risk discount rate on opening adjusted VIF. This is calculated as the opening cost of capital of £334m, multiplied by the opening risk discount rate of 7.3% for half a year, and grossed up for the notional attributed tax rate of 23% to give £16m.

2011 Risk and Savings mortality experience variances primarily relates to our group protection business which was impacted by a number of high value claims which predominately occurred during H1 11. 2011 Risk and Savings expense operating assumption changes reflects the change in long term expense assumptions in protection business and changes in the modelled long term unit cost and investment expenses assumptions in non profit savings and pensions.
Adverse International persistency and mortality operating assumptions changes mainly relate to LGA term assurances in the period after the end of the ordinary level premium period when policyholders may choose to continue their policies at reviewable rates. The domicile of a US captive structure was moved from Bermuda to Vermont which results in an acceleration of the emergence of surplus, and as a consequence increases the present value of the in-force business.

1. The managed pension funds business within Investment management has been reported on an IFRS basis as is consistent with prior years.
2. Other non-pension includes institutional segregated mandates, private equity and property (both in the UK and overseas). Interest income on shareholder funds of £3m (H1 11: £5m; FY 11: £9m) on an average asset balance of £0.4bn (H1 11: £0.4bn; FY 11: £0.4bn) has been included within other non-pension operating profit.
3. Investment management services for internal funds excludes £13m (H1 11: £13m; FY 11: £24m) of profits arising from the provision of investment management services at market referenced rates to the covered business. These are reported on a look through basis within the Risk and Savings covered business on an EEV basis.

1. FY 11 US operating profit reflected improved new business contribution and the impact of the captive reinsurance structure, which was moved from Bermuda to Vermont during 2011. The H1 12 reduction in US operating profit reflects adverse persistency and mortality variances in H1 12, partially compensated by improved new business contribution.
2. The Netherlands operating profit has been affected by adverse persistency. In France, the adverse mortality variance experienced by the group risk business in H1 11 did not recur in 2012 therefore giving an improved result.
3. Other includes our joint venture operations in Egypt, the Gulf, India and business unit costs of £3m (H1 11: £2m; FY 11: £5m) allocated to the International segment.

1. Group capital and financing represents operating profit on the shareholder assets held within the covered business, reported on an embedded value basis, and operating profit on the shareholder assets held outside the covered business reported on an IFRS basis. Operating profit for the group capital and financing segment includes lower assumed returns on cash and LIBOR benchmarked bonds as reported in the FY 11 results. This has been applied to the H1 11 operating profit comparatives as if these changes had been in effect since 1 January 2011. The impact was to reduce H1 11 operating profit by £28m. There is no impact on EEV profit before tax from these changes.
2. Interest expense excludes non recourse financing (see Note 2.16).

	1. The free surplus reduction of £258m to finance new business includes £94m IFRS new business strain and £167m additional required capital. Other items have a net negative impact of £3m.
	2. The increase in free surplus of £745m from the expected transfer from the in-force non profit business includes £560m of IFRS operational cash generation and a £185m reduction in required capital.
	3. The capital movement of £262m reflects the capital contribution made to LGA to enable the repurchase of Potomac securities of £271m.
	4. UK intra-group distributions reflect a £500m dividend paid from Society to Group and dividends of £20m paid to Society from subsidiaries (primarily Nationwide Life). Dividends of $57m from LGA, €50m from LGN and €2m from LGF were also paid to the group.
	5. The transfer to non-covered business represents the IFRS profits arising in the period from the provisions of investment management services by Legal & General Investment Management to the UK covered business, which have been included in the operating profit of the covered business on the look through basis.

1. During H1 12, the contingent loan was settled between Society and LGPL. On an EEV basis, the contingent loan was modelled within the VIF. On an IFRS basis, the contingent loan asset was included within the Group capital and financing net assets. 2. Deferred tax represents all tax which is expected to be paid under current legislation. 3. Other in the UK covered business relates primarily to the different treatment of annuities and non profit pension results under EEV compared with IFRS. Other total business also includes the different treatment of the LGA Triple X securitisation on an EEV and IFRS basis.

5.20 Assumptions

UK assumptions

The assumed future pre-tax returns on fixed interest and RPI linked securities are set by reference to the portfolio yield on the relevant backing assets held at market value at the end of the reporting period. The calculated return takes account of derivatives and other credit instruments in the investment portfolio. Indicative yields on the portfolio, excluding annuities within Legal & General Pensions Limited (LGPL), but after allowance for long term default risk, are shown below.

For LGPL annuities, separate returns are calculated for new and existing business. Indicative combined yields, after allowance for long term default risk and the following additional assumptions, are also shown below. These additional assumptions are:

i. Where cash balances are held at the reporting date in excess of, or below strategic investment guidelines, then it is assumed that these cash balances are immediately invested or disinvested at current yields.

ii. Where interest rate swaps are used to reduce risk, it is assumed that these swaps will be sold before expiry and the proceeds reinvested in corporate bonds with a redemption yield 0.70% p.a. (0.70% p.a. at 30 June 2011; 0.70% p.a. at 31 December 2011) greater than the swap rate at that time (i.e. the long term credit rate).

iii. Where reinvestment or disinvestment is necessary to rebalance the asset portfolio in line with projected outgo, this is also assumed to take place at the long term credit rate above the swap rate at that time.

The returns on fixed and index-linked securities are calculated net of an allowance for default risk which takes account of the credit rating, outstanding term of the securities, and increase in the expectation of credit defaults over the economic cycle. The allowance for corporate securities expressed as a level rate deduction from the expected returns for annuities was 26bps at 30 June 2012 (27bps at 30 June 2011; 26bps at 31 December 2011).

UK covered business

i. Assets are valued at market value.

ii. Future bonus rates have been set at levels which would fully utilise the assets supporting the policyholders' portion of the with-profits business. The proportion of profits derived from with-profits business allocated to shareholders has been assumed to be 10% throughout.

iii. The value of in-force business reflects the cost, including administration expenses, of providing for benefit enhancement or compensation in relation to certain products.

iv. Other actuarial assumptions have been set at levels commensurate with recent operating experience, including those for mortality, morbidity, persistency and maintenance expenses (excluding the development costs referred to below). These are normally reviewed annually.

An allowance is made for future improvements in annuitant mortality based on experience and externally published data. Male annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with 100% of CMI2009 Working Paper 41, with a Long Term Rate of improvement of 1.5% for future experience, and 2.0% for statutory reserving. Female annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with 100% of CMI2009, with a Long Term Rate of improvement of 1.0% for future experience and 1.5% for statutory reserving. In each case, the annual improvement is assumed to reduce linearly after age 85 to zero at age 120.

On this basis, the best estimate of the expectation of life for a new 65 year old Male CPA annuitant is 24.2 years (30 June 2011: 24.4 years; 31 December 2011: 24.2 years). The expectation of life on the regulatory reserving basis is 25.9 years (30 June 2011: 26 years; 31 December 2011: 25.8 years).

v. Development costs relate to investment in strategic systems and development capability that are charged to the covered business. Projects charged to the non-covered business are included within Investment projects in Group capital and financing.

vii. Other actuarial assumptions have been set at levels commensurate with recent operating experience, including those for mortality, morbidity, persistency and maintenance expenses.

Tax

viii. The profits on the covered business, except for the profits on the Society shareholder capital held outside the long term fund, are calculated on an after tax basis and are grossed up by the notional attributed tax rate for presentation in the income statement. For the UK, the after tax basis assumes the annualised current tax rate of 24.5% and the subsequent planned future reductions in corporation tax to 24% from 1 April 2012, 23% from 1 April 2013, and 22% from 1 April 2014. The tax rate used for grossing up is the long term corporate tax rate in the territory concerned, which for the UK is 22% (30 June 2011: 23%; 31 December 2011: 23%) taking into account the expected further rate reductions to 22% by 1 April 2014. The profits on the Society shareholder capital held outside the long term fund are calculated before tax and therefore tax is calculated on an actual basis.

Stochastic calculations

i. The time value of options and guarantees is calculated using economic and non-economic assumptions consistent with those used for the deterministic embedded value calculations.

This section describes the models used to generate future investment simulations, and gives some sample statistics for the simulations used. A single model has been used for UK and international business, with different economic assumptions for each territory.

Government nominal interest rates are generated using a LIBOR Market Model projecting full yield curves at annual intervals. The model provides a good fit to the initial yield curve.

The total annual returns on equities and property are calculated as the return on 1 year bonds plus an excess return. The excess return is assumed to have a lognormal distribution. Corporate bonds are modelled separately by credit rating using stochastic credit spreads over the risk free rates, transition matrices and default recovery rates. The real yield curve model assumes that the real short rate follows a mean-reverting process subject to two normally distributed random shocks.

Asset classes

The significant asset classes are:

- UK with-profits business - equities, property and fixed rate bonds of various durations;

- UK annuity business - fixed rate and index-linked bonds of various durations; and

- International business - fixed rate bonds of various durations.

Summary statistics:

The following table sets out means and standard deviations (StDev) of future returns as at 30 June 2012 for the most significant asset classes. Correlations between asset classes have been set based on an internal assessment of historical data.

	10-year return		20-year return
	Mean1	StDev2	Mean1	StDev2
UK Business (Sterling)
Government bonds	1.9%	3.3%	3.3%	3.6%
Corporate bonds	3.9%	3.8%	4.9%	4.1%
Property (excess returns)	2.0%	15.1%	2.0%	15.0%

Short Government bonds4	2.4%	2.9%	3.0%	5.7%

US Business (US Dollar)
Long Government bonds3	1.8%	4.0%	2.8%	4.3%

1. For asset classes other than for equities and property, mean returns are calculated as the mean return in excess of 1 year government bonds plus the mean return on 1 year government bonds. Mean excess returns for the equities and property are calculated as the mean return in excess of 1 year government bonds. Each mean return is derived by calculating the accumulated value of a unit asset invested to time n years for each simulation, averaging the resultant values across all simulations, then calculating the equivalent annual return required to give this average accumulation (by taking the nth root of the average accumulation and deducting 1).

2. Standard deviations are calculated by accumulating a unit investment for n years in each simulation, taking the natural logarithm of the result, calculating the variance of this statistic, dividing by n and taking the square root. Equities and property values use excess returns. The results are comparable to implied volatilities quoted in investment markets.

3. Long term bonds are defined to be 10 year par-coupon bonds.

4. Short term bonds are defined to be 1 year duration bonds.

Risk discount rate:

The risk discount rate is scenario dependent within the stochastic projection. It is calculated by applying the deterministic risk margin to the risk free rate in each stochastic projection.

5.21 Methodology

Basis of preparation

The supplementary financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the European Embedded Value (EEV) Principles issued in May 2004 by the European Insurance CFO Forum.

The supplementary financial statements have been reviewed under ISRE 2410 by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and prepared with assistance from our consulting actuaries; Towers Watson in the UK and Milliman in the USA.

Change to accounting policy - US deferred acquisition costs

During 2012 the Group has changed its accounting policy for deferred acquisition costs in the US, details of which can be found within Note 2.08. There is no impact on European embedded value reported profit in either the 2011 interim and annual income statements resulting from this change. The impact on the consolidated balance sheet in each of these periods is outlined below:

Covered business

The Group uses EEV methodology to value individual and group life assurance, pensions and annuity business written in the UK, Continental Europe and the US. The UK covered business also includes non-insured self invested personal pension (SIPP) business.

The managed pension funds business has been excluded from covered business and is reported on an IFRS basis.

All other businesses are accounted for on the IFRS basis adopted in the primary financial statements.

There is no distinction made between insurance and investment contracts in our covered business as there is under IFRS.

Description of methodology

The objective of EEV is to provide shareholders with realistic information on the financial position and current performance of the Group.

The methodology requires assets of an insurance company, as reported in the primary financial statements, to be attributed between those supporting the covered business and the remainder. The method accounts for assets in the covered business on an EEV basis and the remainder of the Group's assets on the IFRS basis adopted in the primary financial statements.

The EEV methodology recognises profit from the covered business as the total of:

i. cash transfers during the relevant period from the covered business to the remainder of the Group's assets; and

ii. the movement in the present value of future distributable profits to shareholders arising from the covered business over the relevant reporting period.

Embedded value

Shareholders' equity on the EEV basis comprises the embedded value of the covered business plus the shareholders' equity of other businesses, less the value included for purchased interests in long term business.

The embedded value is the sum of the shareholder net worth (SNW) and the value of the in-force business (VIF). SNW is defined as those amounts, within covered business (both within the long term fund and held outside the long term fund but used to support long term business), which are regarded either as required capital or which represent free surplus.

The VIF is the present value of future shareholder profits arising from the covered business, projected using best estimate assumptions, less an appropriate deduction for the cost of holding the required level of capital and the time value of financial options and guarantees (FOGs).

Service companies

All services relating to the UK covered business are charged on a cost recovery basis, with the exception of investment management services provided to Legal & General Pensions Limited (LGPL) and to Legal & General Assurance Society Limited (Society). Profits arising on the provision of these services are valued on a look through basis.

As the EEV methodology incorporates the future capitalised cost of these internal investment management services, the equivalent IFRS profits have been removed from the Investment management segment and are instead included in the results of the Risk and Savings segments on an EEV basis.

The capitalised value of future profits emerging from internal investment management services are therefore included in the embedded value and new business contribution calculations for the Risk and Savings segments. However, the historical profits which have emerged continue to be reported in the shareholders' equity of the Investment management segment on an IFRS basis. Since the look through into service companies includes only future profits and losses, current intra-group profits or losses must be eliminated from the closing embedded value and in order to reconcile the profits arising in the financial period within each segment with the net assets on the opening and closing balance sheet, a transfer of IFRS profits for the period from the UK SNW is deemed to occur.

New business

New business premiums reflect income arising from the sale of new contracts during the reporting period and any changes to existing contracts, which were not anticipated at the outset of the contract.

In-force business comprises previously written single premium, regular premium and recurrent single premium contracts. Department of Work and Pensions rebates have not been treated as recurring and are included in single premium new business when received. Longevity insurance fixed leg payments have been treated as regular premiums.

New business contribution arising from the new business premiums written during the reporting period has been calculated on the same economic and operating assumptions used in the embedded value at the end of the financial period. This has then been rolled forward to the end of the financial period using the risk discount rate applicable at the end of the reporting period.

The present value of future new business premiums (PVNBP) has been calculated and expressed at the point of sale. The PVNBP is equivalent to the total single premiums plus the discounted value of regular premiums expected to be received over the term of the contracts using the same economic and operating assumptions used for the embedded value at the end of the financial period, with the exception of longevity insurance. Longevity insurance product comprises the exchange of a stream of fixed leg payments for a stream of floating payments, with the value of the income stream being the difference between the two legs. For longevity insurance, PVNBP is not an appropriate measure of expected income stream and as such, the PVNBP has not been applied for this product.

The new business margin is defined as new business contribution at the end of the reporting period divided by the PVNBP, with the exception of longevity insurance. The new business margin has not been applied to longevity insurance for the reason above. The premium volumes and projection assumptions used to calculate the PVNBP are the same as those used to calculate new business contribution.

Intra-group reinsurance arrangements are in place between the US and UK businesses, and it is expected that these arrangements will be periodically extended to cover recent new business. US new business premiums and contribution reflect the groupwide expected impact of US directly-written business.

Projection assumptions

Cash flow projections are determined using best estimate assumptions for each component of cash flow and for each policy group. Future economic and investment return assumptions are based on conditions at the end of the financial period. Future investment returns are projected by one of two methods. The first method is based on an assumed investment return attributed to assets at their market value. The second, which is used by LGA, where the investments of that subsidiary are substantially all fixed interest, projects the cash flows from the current portfolio of assets and assumes an investment return on reinvestment of surplus cash flows. The assumed discount and inflation rates are consistent with the investment return assumptions.

Detailed projection assumptions including mortality, morbidity, persistency and expenses reflect recent operating experience and are normally reviewed annually. Allowance is made for future improvements in annuitant mortality based on experience and externally published data. Favourable changes in operating experience are not anticipated until the improvement in experience has been observed.

All costs relating to the covered business, whether incurred in the covered business or elsewhere in the Group, are allocated to that business. The expense assumptions used for the cash flow projections therefore include the full cost of servicing this business.

Tax

The projections take into account all tax which is expected to be paid, based on best estimate assumptions, applying current legislation and practice together with known future changes. The impact of the changes to the taxation regime for life assurance companies has been estimated as immaterial and therefore no amendment is considered necessary.

Allowance for risk

Aggregate risks within the covered business are allowed for through the following principal mechanisms:

i. setting required capital levels with reference to both the Group's internal risk based capital models, and an assessment of the strength of regulatory reserves in the covered business;

ii. allowing explicitly for the time value of financial options and guarantees within the Group's products; and

iii. setting risk discount rates by deriving a Group level risk margin to be applied consistently to local risk free rates.

Required capital and free surplus

Regulatory capital for the Risk and Savings businesses is provided by assets backing the with-profits business or by the SNW. The SNW comprises all shareholders' capital within Society, including those funds retained within the long term fund and the excess assets in LGPL (collectively Society shareholder capital).

Society shareholder capital is either required to cover EU solvency margin or is free surplus as its distribution to shareholders is not restricted.

For UK with-profits business, the required capital is covered by the surplus within the with-profits part of the fund and no effect is attributed to shareholders except for the burn-through cost, which is described later. This treatment is consistent with the Principles and Practices of Financial Management for this part of the fund.

For UK non profit business, the required capital will be maintained at no less than the level of the EU minimum solvency requirement. This level, together with the margins for adverse deviation in the regulatory reserves, is, in aggregate, in excess of internal capital targets assessed in conjunction with the Individual Capital Assessment (ICA) and the with-profits support account.

The initial strains relating to new non profit business, together with the related EU solvency margin, are supported by releases from existing non profit business and the Society shareholder capital. As a consequence, the writing of new business defers the release of capital to free surplus. The cost of holding required capital is defined as the difference between the value of the required capital and the present value of future releases of that capital. For new business, the cost of capital is taken as the difference in the value of that capital assuming it was available for release immediately and the present value of the future releases of that capital. As the investment return, net of tax, on that capital is less than the risk discount rate, there is a resulting cost of capital which is reflected in the value of new business.

For LGA, the Company Action Level (CAL) of capital has been treated as required capital for modelling purposes. The CAL is the regulatory capital level at which the company would have to take prescribed action, such as submission of plans to the State insurance regulator, but would be able to continue operating on the existing basis. The CAL is currently twice the level of capital at which the regulator is permitted to take control of the business.

For LGN, required capital has been set at 100% of EU minimum solvency margin for all products without FOGs. For those products with FOGs, capital of between 100% and 275% of the EU minimum solvency margin has been used. The level of capital has been determined using risk based capital techniques.

For LGF, 100% of EU minimum solvency margin has been used for EV modelling purposes for all products both with and without FOGs. The level of capital has been determined using risk based capital techniques.

The contribution from new business for our International businesses reflects an appropriate allowance for the cost of holding the required capital.

Financial options and guarantees

Under the EEV Principles an allowance for time value of FOGs is required where a financial option exists which is exercisable at the discretion of the policyholder. These types of option principally arise within the with-profits part of the fund and their time value is recognised within the with-profits burn-through cost described below. Additional financial options for non profit business exist only for a small amount of deferred annuity business where guaranteed early retirement and cash commutation terms apply when the policyholders choose their actual retirement date.

Further financial guarantees exist for non profit business, in relation to index-linked annuities where capped or collared restrictions apply. Due to the nature of these restrictions and the manner in which they vary depending on the prevailing inflation conditions, they are also treated as FOGs and a time value cost recognised accordingly.

The time value of FOGs has been calculated stochastically using a large number of real world economic scenarios derived from assumptions consistent with the deterministic EEV assumptions and allowing for appropriate management actions where applicable. The management action primarily relates to the setting of bonus rates. Future regular and terminal bonuses on participating business within the projections are set in a manner consistent with expected future returns available on assets deemed to back the policies within the stochastic scenarios.

In recognising the residual value of any projected surplus assets within the with-profits part of the fund in the deterministic projection, it is assumed that terminal bonuses are increased to exhaust all of the assets in the part of the fund over the future lifetime of the in-force with-profits policies. However, under stochastic modelling, there may be some extreme economic scenarios when the total projected assets within the with-profits part of the fund are insufficient to pay all projected policyholder claims and associated costs. The average additional shareholder cost arising from this shortfall has been included in the time value cost of financial options and guarantees and is referred to as the with-profits burn-through cost.

Economic scenarios have been used to assess the time value of the financial guarantees for non profit business by using the inflation rate generated in each scenario. The inflation rate used to project index-linked annuities will be constrained in certain real world scenarios, for example, where negative inflation occurs but the annuity payments do not reduce below pre-existing levels. The time value cost of FOGs allows for the projected average cost of these constrained payments for the index-linked annuities. It also allows for the small additional cost of the guaranteed early retirement and cash commutation terms for the minority of deferred annuity business where such guarantees have been written.

LGA FOGs relate to guaranteed minimum crediting rates and surrender values on a range of contracts. The guaranteed surrender value of the contract is based on the accumulated value of the contract including accrued interest. The crediting rates are discretionary but related to the accounting income for the amortising bond portfolio. The majority of the guaranteed minimum crediting rates are between 3% and 4%. The assets backing these contracts are invested in US Dollar denominated fixed interest securities.

LGN separately provides for two types of guarantees: interest rate guarantees and maturity guarantees. Certain contracts provide an interest rate guarantee where there is a minimum crediting rate based on the higher of 1-year Euribor and the policy guarantee rate. This guarantee applies on a monthly basis. Certain unit linked contracts provide a guaranteed minimum value at maturity where the maturity amount is the higher of the fund value and a guarantee amount. The fund values for both these contracts are invested in Euro denominated fixed interest securities.

For LGF, FOGs which have been separately provided for relate to guaranteed minimum crediting rates and surrender values on a range of contracts. The guaranteed surrender value of the contract is the accumulated value of the contract including accrued bonuses. The bonuses are based on the accounting income for the amortising bond portfolios plus income and releases from realised gains on any equity type investments. Policy liabilities equal guaranteed surrender values. Local statutory accounting rules require the establishment of a specific liability when the accounting income for a company is less than 125% of the guaranteed minimum credited returns, although this has never been required. In general, the guaranteed annual bonus rates are between 0% and 4.5%.

Risk free rate

The risk free rate is set to reflect both the pattern of the emerging profits under EEV and the relevant duration of the liabilities where backing assets reflect this assumption (e.g. equity returns). For the UK, it is set by reference to the gross redemption yield on the 15 year gilt index. For LGA, the risk free rate is the 10 year US Treasury effective yield, while the 10 year ECB AAA-rated Euro area central government bond par yield is used for LGN and LGF.

Risk discount rate

The risk discount rate (RDR) is a combination of the risk free rate and a risk margin, which reflects the residual risks inherent in the Group's covered businesses, after taking account of prudential margins in the statutory provisions, the required capital and the specific allowance for FOGs. The Group's 2011 Annual Report and Accounts provides sensitivities for a plus or minus one percent change in the risk discount rate as at 31 December 2011.

The risk margin has been determined based on an assessment of the Group's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This assessment incorporates a beta for the Group, which measures the correlation of movements in the Group's share price to movements in a relevant index. Beta values therefore allow for the market's assessment of the risks inherent in the business relative to other companies in the chosen index.

The WACC is derived from the Group's cost of equity and debt, and the proportion of equity to debt in the Group's capital structure measured using market values. Each of these three parameters is forward looking, although informed by historic information and appropriate judgements where necessary. The cost of equity is calculated as the risk free rate plus the equity risk premium for the chosen index multiplied by the Company's beta. Forward-looking or adjusted betas make allowance for the observed tendency for betas to revert to 1 and therefore a weighted average of the historic beta and 1 tends to be a better estimate of the Company's beta for the future period. We have computed the WACC using an arithmetical average of forward-looking betas against the FTSE 100 index.

The cost of debt used in the WACC calculations takes account of the actual locked-in rates for our senior and subordinated long term debt. All debt interest attracts tax relief at a rate of 22.5%.

Whilst the WACC approach is a relatively simple and transparent calculation to apply, subjectivity remains within a number of the assumptions. Management believes that the chosen margin, together with the levels of required capital, the inherent strength of the Group's regulatory reserves and the explicit deduction for the cost of options and guarantees, is appropriate to reflect the risks within the covered business.

Analysis of profit

Operating profit is identified at a level which reflects an assumed longer term level of investment return.

The contribution to operating profit in a period is attributed to four sources:

i. new business;

ii. the management of in-force business;

iii. development costs; and

iv. return on shareholder net worth.

Further profit contributions arise from actual investment return differing from the assumed long term investment return (investment return variances), and from the effect of economic assumption changes.

The contribution from new business represents the value recognised at the end of each period from new business written in that period, after allowing for the actual cost of acquiring the business and of establishing the required technical provisions and reserves and after making allowance for the cost of capital. New business contributions are calculated using closing assumptions.

The contribution from in-force business is calculated using opening assumptions and comprises:

i. expected return - the discount earned from the value of business in-force at the start of the year;

ii. experience variances - the variance in the actual experience over the reporting period from that assumed in the value of business in-force as at the start of the year; and

iii. operating assumption changes - the effects of changes in future assumptions, other than changes in economic assumptions from those used in valuing the business at the start of the year. These changes are made prospectively from the end of the year.

Development costs relate to investment in strategic systems and development capability.

The contribution from shareholder net worth comprises the increase in embedded value based on assumptions at the start of the year in respect of the expected investment return on the Society shareholder capital.

Further profit contributions arise from investment return variances and the effect of economic assumption changes.

Investment return variances represent the effect of actual investment performance and changes to investment policy on SNW and VIF business from that assumed at the beginning of the period.

Economic assumption changes comprise the effect of changes in economic variables on SNW and VIF business from that assumed at the beginning of the period, which are beyond the control of management, including associated changes to valuation bases to the extent that they are reflected in revised assumptions.

Independent review report to Legal & General Group Plc - EEV

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the supplementary interim financial information in the Half-year report for the six months ended 30 June 2012, which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2012 and related notes prepared on the European Embedded Value ("EEV") basis on pages 87 to 118. We have read the other information contained in the Half-year report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the supplementary interim financial information.

Directors' responsibilities

The Half-year report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the supplementary interim financial information in accordance with the EEV basis set out in note 5.21.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the supplementary interim financial information in the Half-year report based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of supplementary financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the supplementary interim financial information in the Half-year report for the six months ended 30 June 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the EEV basis set out in note 5.21.
