Of the total cash and cash equivalents shown above, £411 million has been classified as held for sale (30 June 2007: £73 million; 31 December 2007: £96 million).
Cash and cash equivalents in long-term business operations are primarily held for the benefit of policyholders and so are generally not available for use by the Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements -
IFRS basis
1 - Basis of preparation - IFRS
(a) The results for the six months to 30 June 2008 have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU). These include IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, which specifically addresses the contents of interim announcements. The results apply the accounting policies set out in Aviva plc's 2007 Annual Report and Accounts, except that segmental information is now given in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, Operating Segments, as described in note 1(d) below.
The results for the six months to 30 June 2008 and 2007 are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditor, Ernst & Young LLP. The interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The results for the full year 2007 have been taken from the Group's 2007 Annual Report and Accounts. The auditor has reported on the 2007 financial statements and the report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The Group's 2007 Report and Accounts have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
(b) Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are stated in sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts shown in the financial statements are in millions of pounds sterling (£m). As supplementary information, consolidated financial information is also presented in euros.
(c) Restatement of prior period figures
(i) Change to definition of operating profit
During 2007, the Group changed its definition of IFRS operating profit. The key changes to our definition of IFRS operating profit are set out in the 2007 Report and Accounts and were presented in this manner. Results to 30 June 2007 have been restated to reflect the changes.
(ii) Gross up for cash collateral received
The Group enters into stock lending transactions and receives cash or non-cash collateral to reduce the Group's exposure to counterparty credit risk. Collateral received in the form of cash is then either lent out at market rates of interest or held as cash. During 2007, we identified that certain cash collateral transactions should have been historically recognised on the balance sheet, with a corresponding obligation to return this collateral, instead of showing a net nil position.
The cash collateral transactions were accounted for correctly in the 2007 Report and Accounts but, as a result, the figures for loan assets, cash and cash equivalents, and payables and other financial liabilities as at 30 June 2007 have been restated by increasing them by £3,396 million, £147 million and £3,543 million respectively. The equivalent adjustment at 1 January 2007, the start of the comparative period, was to increase loan assets and payable and other financial liabilities by £2,129 million.
The 30 June 2007 comparative figures in the cash flow statement for cash generated from operations, net increase in cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2007 have also been restated for the increase in cash and cash equivalents of £147 million detailed above.
In addition, we identified that the interest paid on cash collateral received and the interest earned from onlending this cash had previously been offset and reported as net investment income. The 30 June 2007 comparative figures have therefore been restated in order to report this interest expense and interest income separately, by increasing both by £59 million.
Neither of these adjustments have any impact on profit for the period, operating profit or earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2007, nor on retained earnings, net assets or total equity at either 1 January 2007 or 30 June 2007.
(iii) Consolidation of managed fund
The Group manages a number of specialised investment vehicles around the world, in which our insurance and investment funds have invested. The Group's percentage ownership in these vehicles can fluctuate from day to day according to the Group's and third party participation in them, and control is determined based on an analysis of the guidance in IAS 27. During 2008, we identified that one such vehicle, a UK cash deposit fund, required consolidation in accordance with IAS 27 which therefore results in grossing up assets and liabilities for the effect of the third party participation.
As a result, the figures for cash and cash equivalents, financial investments (debt securities) and net asset value attributable to unitholders as at 31 December 2007 have been restated by increasing them by £315 million, £806 million and £1,121 million respectively. The equivalent figures as at 30 June 2007 have been restated by increasing them by £242 million, £392 million and £634 million respectively. The impact on the full year 2007 income statement has been to restate net investment income and fee and commission expense by increasing both by £62 million (6 months to 30 June 2007: increase both by £40 million).
None of these adjustments has any impact on profit for the period, operating profit or earnings per share in either the full year 2007 or the 6 months to 30 June 2007, nor on retained earnings, net assets or total equity at either 1 January 2007, 30 June 2007 or 31 December 2007. The effect of restating items in the cash flow statements for these periods is given in section (iv) below.
Page 58
(iv) Restatement of cash equivalents
During 2007, we reviewed the policy for cash and cash equivalents and determined that certain investments, previously classified as cash equivalents, would be more appropriately classified as financial investments.
This treatment was adopted in the 2007 Report and Accounts but the application of this review to the 30 June 2007 balances has led to a reduction of the cash equivalents balance at that date by £980 million and a corresponding increase in the debt securities total of the same amount.
This restatement has no impact on net assets or total equity. The effect of the restatements described in sections (iii) and (iv) on cash flows for the 6 months to 30 June 2007 is to reduce cash equivalents at 1 January 2007 and 30 June 2007 by £1,211 million and £738 million respectively, and to increase cash flows from operating activities by £473 million. The effect on the year to 31 December 2007 is to increase cash equivalents at 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2007 by £214 million and £315 million respectively, and to increase cash flows from operating activities by £101 million..
(d) In November 2006, the IASB issued IFRS 8, Operating Segments. Although its requirements are applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, the Group has decided to adopt IFRS 8 early and reflect its impact in the 2008 financial statements. Accordingly, the segmental information given in these interim results reflect the adoption of this standard.
The Group has determined its operating segments along regional lines and the results for the period to 30 June 2008 are presented on this basis, using NU Life and NUI within the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and Aviva Investors as the main segments.
(i) The NUI region covers the Group's UK general insurance business and includes the results of Aviva
Re, the Group's captive reinsurance business;
(ii) Europe incorporates all European operations excluding the UK as set out above;
(iii) North America is made up of our life business in the United States and general insurance business in
Canada;
(iv) Asia Pacific includes all our Asian and Australian businesses; and,
(v) Aviva Investors comprises the business of Morley, as well as the asset management businesses in
France and Canada.
2 - Exchange rates
The Group's principal overseas operations during the year were located within the Eurozone and the United States.
The results and cash flows of these operations have been translated into sterling at an average rate for the period of 1 euro = £0.77 (6 months to 30 June 2007: 1 euro = £0.68; full year 2007: 1 euro = £0.68). Assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rate of 1 euro = £0.79 (30 June 2007: 1 euro = £0.67; 31 December 2007: 1 euro = £0.73).
The US dollar rates used for translation are an average of £1 = US$1.98 (6 months to 30 June 2007: £1 = US$1.97; full year 2007: £1 = US$2.00) and a closing rate of £1 = US$2.00 (30 June 2007: £1 = US$1.99; 31 December 2007: £1 = US$1.99).

3 - Acquisitions
(i) Acquisition of VIVAS Health
On 15 May 2008, the Group's Irish subsidiary, Hibernian Group plc, acquired a 70% holding in VIVAS Group Ltd. (VIVAS Health), an Irish health insurance company, for £26 million. Allied Irish Banks plc (AIB) will continue to hold the remaining 30% equity, further strengthening AIB and Hibernian's existing relationship. The company has since been re-branded as Hibernian Health. Its health insurance products will be distributed through Hibernian and AIB's distribution channels, including Hibernian Health's existing direct and non-direct channels.
The acquisition of this shareholding has given rise to goodwill on acquisition of £22 million, calculated as follows:

(iii) Acquisition of Swiss Life Belgium
On 30 June 2008, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Swiss Life Belgium, a multi-line insurer, from SNS REAAL for £112 million. By combining Swiss Life Belgium with its Belgian insurance operation, managed through its Dutch subsidiary Delta Lloyd, the Group will further strengthen its position in the Belgian life insurance market.

(iv) Addition to existing shareholding in Cajamurcia Vida
As disclosed in the 2007 financial statements, on 6 June 2007 the Group acquired 5% of the share capital of Caja Murcia Vida y Pensiones, de Seguros y Reaseguros SA (Cajamurcia Vida) from the Spanish savings bank Caja de Ahorros de Murcia (Cajamurcia). Cajamurcia Vida was fully consolidated as a subsidiary from that date, as the Group has the power to govern its financial and operating policies, through having the majority vote at meetings of the company's board of directors.
On signing the shareholders' agreement, Cajamurcia granted the Group a call option over a further 45% of the shares in Cajamurcia Vida. On 27 March 2008, the Group exercised this option and acquired 45% of the shares for £81 million. The fair value of the net assets of the company at the date the option was exercised was £176 million, and the acquisition of the additional shareholding gave rise to additional goodwill of £3 million.
(v) Investment in LIG Life
On 4 April 2008, the Group acquired 40.65% of LIG Life Insurance Co. Ltd (LIG Life), a South Korean life insurance company, for £34 million. LIG Life distributes life insurance products through multiple distribution channels and focuses on the Busan metropolitan area in the south-eastern region of the country. Further shareholdings of 5.51% and 0.63 % were acquired on 7 April and 29 May 2008 respectively for a total of £4 million. This investment has been accounted for as an interest in a joint venture.

The balance relates mainly to the implementation of Aviva Investors.
(b) Exceptional costs for termination of operations of £84 million (six months to 30 June 2007: £nil) are due to the closure of the wrap platform in the UK and migration of the operation to a third party provider, Scottish Friendly. These costs include write-downs of goodwill and intangible assets.

(i) Dutch health insurance business
On 16 July 2007, the Group announced that its Dutch subsidiary, Delta Lloyd Group ('DL'), had reached an agreement to sell its health insurance business to OWM CZ Groep Zorgverkeraar UA ('CZ'), a mutual health insurer, and create a long-term alliance for the cross-selling of insurance products. Under the terms of the agreement, CZ will purchase the DL health insurance business and take on its underwriting risk and policy administration. DL will continue to market and distribute health insurance products from CZ to its existing customers and continue to provide asset management for the transferred business. DL will also have exclusive rights to market life, general insurance and income protection products to CZ's customers. The transaction is expected to take effect on 1 January 2009, subject to regulatory, competition and other relevant approvals.
The relevant assets and liabilities of the DL health insurance business have been classified as held for sale, at their carrying values, in the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2008.
(ii) Dutch bancassurance business with ABN AMRO
On 20 May 2008, the Group announced that its Dutch subsidiary, Delta Lloyd Group, had received notice from
ABN AMRO that, in accordance with its contractual entitlement, as a consequence of a change of control of
ABN AMRO, it wished to end their 30-year bancassurance agreement signed in 2003, covering life and general
insurance, and intended to buy out Delta Lloyd's 51% shareholding in Delta Lloyd ABN AMRO Verzekeringen
Holding BV. The transaction is expected to complete in 2009.
The relevant assets and liabilities of the Dutch bancassurance business with ABN AMRO have been classified as held for sale, at their carrying values, in the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2008. Gross assets were £4,716 million and net assets were £338 million.
(iii) UK non-core businesses
In the current period, the Group commenced a strategic review of certain UK non-core operations. As a consequence, certain assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale at their carrying values in the consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2008.
(iv) Non-adjusting post-balance sheet event
On 10 July 2008 we announced the sale of our offshore operations, known as Aviva Global Services ('AGS') to WNS. As part of this agreement, we have also entered into a master services contract with WNS, who will provide offshoring services to Aviva's UK, Irish and Canadian businesses for the next eight years and four months. Aviva will receive total cash consideration of £115 million.

8 - Long-term business economic volatility
(a) Definitions
Operating profit for long-term business is based on expected investment returns on financial investments backing shareholder and policyholder funds over the period, with consistent allowance for the corresponding expected movements in liabilities. Operating profit includes the effect of variance in experience for non-economic items, such as mortality, persistency and expenses, and the effect of changes in non-economic assumptions. Changes due to economic items, such as market value movement and interest rate changes, which give rise to variances between actual and expected investment returns, and the impact of changes in economic assumptions on liabilities, are disclosed separately outside operating profit.
(b) Economic volatility
The investment variances and economic assumption changes excluded from the long-term business operating profit are as follows:
|
Long-term business |
||
|
6 months |
Restated |
Full year |
Investment variances and economic assumption changes |
(636) |
107 |
15 |
Economic items had a significantly negative impact on profit in the six months to 30 June 2008. This was driven primarily by increases in market risk free rates and widening credit spreads on debt securities, partly mitigated by higher liability valuation interest rates, and by the impact of falling equity and property market values.
(c) Assumptions
The expected rate of investment return is determined using consistent assumptions between operations, having regard to local economic and market forecasts of investment return and asset classification under IFRS.
Where assets are classified as fair value through profit or loss, the Group has applied the same 'real-world' economic assumptions for fixed interest securities, equities and properties as are used under EEV principles. The principal assumptions underlying the calculation of the expected investment return are:
|
Expected return fixed interest |
Expected return equities |
Expected return properties |

The total short-term adverse fluctuation in investment return of £314 million (30 June 2007: £37 million favourable; 31 December 2007: £184 million adverse) is the difference between the total actual investment return of £166 million (30 June 2007: £548 million; 31 December 2007: £845 million) and the total longer-term investment return of £480 million (30 June 2007: £511 million; 31 December 2007: £1,029 million).
Actual income and longer-term investment return both contain the amortisation of the discount/premium arising on the acquisition of fixed income securities.
The longer-term investment return is calculated separately for each principal general insurance and health business unit. In respect of equities and properties, the return is calculated by multiplying the opening market value of the investments, adjusted for sales and purchases during the period, by the longer-term rate of investment return. The longer-term rate of investment return is determined using consistent assumptions between operations, having regard to local economic and market forecasts of investment return. The allocated longer-term return for other investments is the actual income receivable for the period.
The Group has calculated the longer-term investment return for its general insurance and health business using the same start of year economic assumptions for equities and properties as those used for EEV reporting as shown on page 44 of this announcement.
The total assets supporting the general insurance and health business, which contribute towards the longer-term return, were £18,379 million (30 June 2007: £18,957 million; 31 December 2007: £18,291 million). Total assets comprise debt securities £10,578 million (30 June 2007: £8,724 million; 31 December 2007: £10,757 million), equity securities £1,130 million (30 June 2007: £3,389 million; 31 December 2007: £1,195 million), properties £294 million (30 June 2007: £340 million; 31 December 2007: £360 million), cash and cash equivalents £3,354 million (30 June 2007: £3,261 million; 31 December 2007: £3,178 million) and other assets £3,023 million (30 June 2007: £3,242 million; 31 December 2007: £2,801 million).
The principal assumptions underlying the calculation of the longer-term investment return are:

Earnings per share has been calculated based on the operating profit before impairment of goodwill and other
non-operating items, after tax, attributable to ordinary shareholders, as well as on the profit attributable to
ordinary shareholders. The directors believe the former earnings per share figures provide a better indication
of operating performance.
The calculation of basic earnings per share uses a weighted average of 2,632 million (six months 30 June 2007: 2,571 million; full year 2007: 2,588 million) ordinary shares in issue, after deducting shares owned by the employee share trusts. The actual number of shares in issue at 30 June 2008 was 2,658 million (30 June 2007: 2,595 million; 31 December 2007: 2,622 million).

Subsequent to 30 June 2008, the directors proposed an interim dividend for 2008 of 13.09 pence per ordinary share (six months 2007: 11.90 pence), amounting to £347 million (six months 2007: £309 million) in total. The dividend will be paid on 17 November 2008 and will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2008.
Interest on the direct capital instrument issued in November 2004 is treated as an appropriation of retained profits and, accordingly, it is accounted for when paid. Tax relief will be obtained at a rate of 30%.
Irish shareholders who are due to be paid a dividend denominated in euros will receive a payment at the exchange rate prevailing on 29 July 2008.

17 - Segmental information
(a) Operating segments
As explained in note 1(d), the Group has determined its operating segments along regional lines. These reflect the management structure whereby a member of the Executive Management team is accountable to the Group Chief Executive for the operating segment for which he is responsible. The activities of each operating segment are described below:
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom comprises two operating segments - Norwich Union Life (NU Life) and Norwich Union Insurance (NUI). The principal activities of NU Life are life insurance, long-term health and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business, whilst NUI provides insurance cover to individuals and to small and medium-sized businesses, for risks associated mainly with motor vehicles, property and liability, such as employers' liability and professional indemnity liability, and medical expenses. NUI also includes the RAC motor recovery business and the group reinsurance result.
Europe
Activities reported in the Europe operating segment, exclude operations in the UK and include those in Russia and Turkey. Principal activities are long - term business in France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Spain, and general insurance in France, the Netherlands and Ireland.
North America
Our activities in North America principally comprise our long-term business operations in the USA and general insurance business operation in Canada.
Asia Pacific
Our activities in Asia Pacific principally comprise our long-term business operations in Australia, China, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Malaysia, and South Korea.
Aviva Investors
Aviva Investors operates in most of the regions in which the Group operates, in particular the UK, France and Canada, managing policyholders' and shareholders' invested funds, providing investment management services for institutional pension fund mandates and managing a range of retail investment products, including investment funds, unit trusts, OEICs and ISAs. Fund management activities in the Netherlands are included in the Europe operating segment.
Other
Investment return on centrally held assets head office expenses, such as Group treasury and finance functions, together with certain taxes and financing costs arising on central borrowings are included in 'Other'.
Similarly central core structural borrowings and certain tax balances are included in 'Other' in the segmental
balance sheet. Also included are small run-off businesses not managed directly by regions.
Measurement basis
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Group as a whole. Any transactions between the business segments are on normal commercial terms and market conditions. The Group evaluates performance of operating segments on the basis of:
(i) profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders.
(ii) profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders, adjusted for non-operating items outside the segment management's control, including investment market performance and fiscal policy changes.

The impact of interest rates for long-term business relates primarily to the UK and the Netherlands. This results from the use of higher valuation interest rates for UK and Dutch traditional business, reflecting the rise in market interest rates over the year. Other assumption changes in the UK relate to the recapture of reinsured business and expense inflation.

26 - Sensitivity analysis
The Group uses a number of sensitivity test-based risk management tools to understand the volatility of earnings, the volatility of its capital requirements, and to manage its capital more efficiently. Primarily EEV, Financial Condition Reporting (a medium term projection of the financial health of the business under a variety of economic and operating scenarios), and increasingly Individual Capital Assessment (ICA) are used. Sensitivities to economic and operating experience are regularly produced on all of the Group's financial performance measurements as part of the Group's decision making and planning process, and as part of the framework for identifying and quantifying the risks that each of its business units, and the Group as a whole are exposed to.
For long-term business in particular, sensitivities of EEV performance indicators to changes in both economic and non-economic experience are continually used to manage the business and to inform the decision making process. More information on EEV sensitivities can be found in the presentation of results in the EEV section of this announcement.
Life insurance and investment contracts
The nature of long-term business is such that a number of assumptions are made in compiling the financial statements. Assumptions are made about investment returns, expenses, mortality rates, and persistency in connection with the in-force policies for each business unit. Assumptions are best estimates based on historic and expected experience of the business.
General insurance and health business
General insurance and health claim liabilities are estimated by using standard actuarial claims projection techniques. These methods extrapolate the claims development for each accident year based on the observed development of earlier years. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made as projections are based on assumptions implicit in the historic claims development on which the projections are based. As such, in the analysis below, the sensitivity of general insurance claim liabilities is primarily based on the financial impact of changes to the reported loss ratio.
Some results of sensitivity testing for long-term business and general insurance and health business are set out below. For each sensitivity test the impact of a change in a single factor is shown, with other assumptions left unchanged.
Sensitivity Factor |
Description of sensitivity factor applied |
Interest rate & investment return |
The impact of a change in market interest rates by ± 1% (e.g. if a current interest rate is 5%, the impact of an immediate change to 4% and 6%). The test allows consistently for similar changes to investment returns and movements in the market value of backing fixed interest securities. |
Equity/property market values |
The impact of a change in equity/property market values by ± 10% |
Expenses |
The impact of an increase in maintenance expenses by 10% |
Assurance mortality/morbidity (life insurance only) |
The impact of an increase in mortality/morbidity rates for assurance contracts by 5% |
Annuitant mortality (life insurance only) |
The impact of a reduction in mortality rates for annuity contracts by 5% |
Gross loss ratios (non-life insurance only) |
The impact of an increase in gross loss ratios for general insurance and health business by 5% |
The above sensitivity factors are applied using actuarial and statistical models, with the following pre-tax impacts on profit and shareholders' equity at 30 June 2008:

Limitations of sensitivity analysis
The above tables demonstrate the effect of a change in a key assumption while other assumptions remain unchanged. In reality, there is correlation between the assumptions and other factors. It should also be noted that these sensitivities are non-linear, and larger or smaller impacts should not be interpolated or extrapolated from these results.
The sensitivity analyses do not take into consideration that the Group's assets and liabilities are actively managed. Additionally, the financial position of the Group may vary at the time that any actual market movement occurs. For example, the Group's financial risk management strategy aims to manage the exposure to market fluctuations. As investment markets move past various trigger levels, management actions could include selling investments, changing investment portfolio allocation, adjusting bonuses credited to policyholders, and taking other protective action.
A number of the business units use passive assumptions to calculate their long-term business liabilities. Consequently, the actual impact of a change in the assumptions may not have any impact on the liabilities, whereas assets are held at market value on the balance sheet. In these circumstances, the different measurement bases for liabilities and assets may lead to volatility in shareholder equity. Similarly, for general insurance liabilities, the interest rate sensitivities only affect profit and equity where explicit assumptions are made regarding interest (discount) rates or future inflation.
Other limitations in the above sensitivity analyses include the use of hypothetical market movements to demonstrate potential risk that only represent the Group's view of possible near-term market changes that cannot be predicted with any certainty; and the assumption that all interest rates move in an identical fashion
