In Ireland, lapse assumption changes have been made on unit-linked pensions business following recent experience.********* Other operating assumptions in the Netherlands relates to positive changes in asset mix and tax reflecting, in part, the fact that the embedded value of Delta Lloyd was previously assessed using a blended average tax rate of 25%, which is below the local corporation tax rate. The calculation has been refined to tax all future profits at the full corporation tax rate at the beginning of the year of 34.5% and to allow explicitly for the tax benefit arising from investing in the "5% holdings" (investments in Dutch companies where at least 5% of the share capital is owned), on which all investment income is tax free. This change results in a £53 million one-off benefit. France includes the benefit of tax assumption changes. France has historically recorded favourable tax operating experience as a result of better than assumed tax on dividend income. Previously the tax assumptions had been set at full corporation tax for all future profits, whereas in fact dividend income from subsidiaries is tax exempt. In 2004, the calculation has been refined such that the future tax benefit arising from dividend from subsidiaries has now been recognised. This change results in a £39 million benefit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 70 Supplementary analyses - life and related businesses (a) Analysis of service companies and fund management businesses within embedded value The EEV methodology incorporates the impact of profits and losses arising from subsidiary undertakings providing administration, investment management and other services where these arise in relation to covered business. The principal subsidiaries of the Aviva group providing such services are NU Life Services Ltd (UK), Morley Fund Management (UK) and Aviva Gestion d'Actifs (France). The following table provides an analysis of the elements within the life and other related business embedded value: 31 December 30 June 2005 2004 ------------------------------------------- ----------- Fund Management Non-Insurance Total Total £m £m £m £m United Kingdom 53 (397) (344) (343)France 43 (10) 33 32Other Europe and International 11 (18) (7) (15)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 107 (425) (318) (326)=================================================================================================================== The "look-through" value attributable to fund management is based on the level of after-tax profits expected to be earned in the future over the outstanding term of the covered business in respect of services provided to the Group's life operations. The EEV basis profit and loss account excludes the actual statutory basis profits arising from the provision of fund management services to the Group's life businesses. The EEV income statement records the experience profit or loss compared to the assumed profitability, the return on the in-force value arising from the unwind at the relevant risk discount rate and the effect on the in-force value of changes to economic assumptions. NU Life Services Ltd (NULS) is the main provider of administration services to the UK Life business. NULS incurs substantially all of the UK Life business' operating expenditure, comprising acquisition, maintenance and project costs. Costs are recharged to the UK Life companies (the product companies) on the basis of pre-determined Management Services Agreement (MSA) which was negotiated in 1998 and will be reviewed in 2008. The EEV principles "look-through" the contractual terms of the MSA to the underlying expenses of NULS. Accordingly theactual maintenance expenses and a "normal" annual level of project expense allowances have been applied to theproduct companies. Under EEV, any further one-off project expenditure is reported as experience losses when incurred. (b) Pension schemes (i) Treatment of pension scheme deficits for IFRS On the IFRS balance sheet, the amount described as Provisions includes the pension scheme deficits and comprises: 30 June 31 December 2005 2004 £m £m Deficits in the staff pension schemes 1,220 893Other obligations to staff pension schemes - Insurance policies issued by Group companies 813 813------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Total IAS 19 obligations to staff pension schemes 2,033 1,706Other provisions 468 419------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Provisions 2,501 2,125================================================================================================================== (ii) Treatment of pension scheme deficits in embedded value The adoption of the EEV principles and the inclusion of NULS in the calculations have resulted in the recognition within EEV of the future funding obligations to the UK pension scheme in relation to both future service costs and pension deficits. The table below shows the component parts of the impact of adopting the EEV principles on the UK life valuation. 30 June 31 December 2005 2004 £m £mImpact of:Increasing maintenance and normal project allowances (128) (124)Increase in future service pension scheme contribution rate from 11% to 29% (31 December 2004: 25%) (123) (126)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (251) (250)Pension scheme deficits funding (146) (147)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (397) (397)=================================================================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Page 71 Pension costs are accounted in NULS following the "look-through" principle and are included in the embedded value. The funding rate for the annual pension cost is 29% of pensionable salaries and allowance has been made for the entire contribution reducing the embedded value of UK Life and related business at 30 June 2005 by £123 million (31 December 2004: £126 million). In addition, pension deficit funding equivalent in 2004 to a further 13% of pensionable salaries commenced on 1 January 2004. The NULS share of the total UK pension scheme deficit is approximately 42% and this liability is fully provided for in the UK embedded value. In effect, under the EEV methodology the element of the pension fund deficit which relates to the UK life and other related businesses is now incorporated within shareholders' funds at an amountequivalent to the post-tax contributions discounted using the UK Life business risk discount rate. This is equal to £146 million at 30 June 2005 (31 December 2004: £147 million), which differs from the IAS19 basis of evaluating pension deficits. In quantifying the impact on the embedded value for the UK covered business, the shareholders have been assumed to incur all of the additional contributions except for an amount equivalent to approximately 2% of pensionable salarieswhich has been attributed to the with-profits funds. This reflects the contractual nature of the current MSA which prevents shareholders from recharging both the increase in future service costs from 11% to 29% (31 December 2004: 25%) of pensionable salaries and the cost of funding the deficit to the UK with-profit funds. Under the MSA, NULS can renegotiate the terms relating to the recharging of the costs to the UK with-profit funds in 2008, subject to regulatory approval. In evaluating the impact on EEV, Aviva has not sought to pre-empt the outcome ofthis renegotiation. Any changes to the recharges in respect of the pension costs and the pension deficit to the with-profits funds will be reported as profits or losses in the period in which agreement is obtained. (iii) Treatment of pension scheme deficits on the Group embedded value balance sheet The Group has accounted for its pension scheme costs in accordance with IAS 19 for the non life and overseas life businesses. The element of the pension fund deficits which relates to the UK life and other related businesses is included at an amount equivalent to the post-tax contributions discounted using the UK Life business risk discount rate.

The European Embedded Value basis provides a more accurate reflection of the performanceof the Group's life operations year on year than results under IFRS. Accordingly, the Group's capital structure isanalysed on this basis. The Group's capital, from all funding sources, has been allocated such that the capital employed by trading operationsis greater than the capital provided by its shareholders and its subordinated debt holders. As a result, the Group isable to enhance the returns earned on its equity capital. Capital employed by segment 30 June 31 December 2005 2004 £m £m Long-term savings 13,757 13,826General insurance and health 5,485 5,005Other business 1,714 838Corporate (365) (372)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Total capital employed 20,591 19,297------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Financed byEquity shareholders' funds and minority interests 13,916 12,821Direct capital instrument 990 990Preference shares 200 200 Subordinated debt 2,789 2,847 External debt 1,550 1,452Net internal debt 1,146 987------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20,591 19,297================================================================================================================== At 30 June 2005 the Group had £20.6 billion (31 December 2004: £19.3 billion) of total capital employed in our tradingoperations which is efficiently financed by a combination of equity shareholders' funds, preference capital, directcapital instruments, subordinated debt and internal and external borrowings. In the first half of 2005, the total capital employed in our long-term savings operations decreased by £0.1 billion from the previous year end; the capital employed in our general insurance businesses increased by £0.5 billionreflecting the profits in the period; the capital employed in our non-insurance businesses rose by £0.9 billion from£0.8 billion to £1.7 billion reflecting the RAC acquisition. In addition to its external funding sources, the Group has a number of internal debt arrangements in place. These have allowed the assets supporting technical liabilities to be invested into the pool of central assets for useacross the Group. They have also enabled the shareholders to deploy cash from some parts of the business to others in order to fund growth. Although intra-group loans in nature, they are counted as part of the capital base for the purpose of capital management. All internal loans satisfy arms length criteria and all interest payments have been made when due. In order to better reflect the underlying level of internal leverage the presentation of internal debt was revised at the 2004 year end. The revised presentation depicts a net debt position which represents the upstream ofinternal loans from business operations to corporate and holding entities net of tangible assets held by these entities. The corporate net liabilities represent the pension scheme deficit held centrally. The ratio of the Group's external debt plus subordinated debt to shareholders' funds was 29% (31 December 2004: 31%). Fixed charged cover on an EEV basis, which measures the extent to which external interest costs are covered by EEV operating profit, was 9.2 times (31 December 2004: 8.2 times). At 30 June 2005 the market value of the Group's external debt, subordinated debt, preference shares, including both the Aviva plc preference shares and the General Accident plc preference shares of £250 million, within minorityinterests, and direct capital instrument was £6,383 million (31 December 2004: £5,953 million), with a weighted average cost of 3.8% (31 December 2004: 3.9%).
