E1 - Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of financial position on pages 2 to 5 present the Group's results and financial position for the covered life and related businesses on the Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV) basis and for its non-covered businesses and non-covered but related to life businesses on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis. The MCEV methodology adopted is in accordance with the MCEV Principles published by the CFO Forum in October 2009. The CFO Forum MCEV principles (17.3.29) indicate that changes to models to reflect improvements or rectify errors should be included in the 'other operating variances' line. Where possible, such model refinements have been reported in the analysis of earnings on the line where the impact would have occurred in order to provide better information when considering assumption changes / experience variances over multiple reporting periods.

The directors consider that the MCEV methodology gives useful insight into the drivers of financial performance of the Group's life and related businesses. This basis values future cash flows from assets consistently with market prices, including more explicit allowance for the impact of uncertainty in future investment returns and other risks. Embedded value is also consistent with the way pricing is assessed and the business is managed.

The results for our half year report have been reviewed by our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Their report in respect of the half-year can be found on page 40.

The MCEV calculations cover the following lines of business: life insurance, long-term health and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business written by our life insurance subsidiaries, including managed pension fund business and our share of certain life and related business written in our associated undertakings and joint ventures, as well as the equity release business written in the UK.

Covered business includes the Group's share of our joint ventures including our associated undertakings in India, China, Turkey, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea. In addition, the results of Group companies providing significant administration, fund management and other services and of Group holding companies have been included to the extent that they relate to covered business. Together these businesses are referred to as "Life and related businesses".

Aviva's associate holding of Delta Lloyd is not included within covered business as MCEV is not used to manage Delta Lloyd. For 'Group' MCEV reporting, which includes general insurance and other non-covered business, Delta Lloyd is included on an IFRS basis.

New business premiums

New business premiums include:

n premiums arising from the sale of new contracts during the period;

n non-contractual additional premiums; and

n expected renewals on new contracts and expected future contractual alterations to new contracts.

The Group's definition of new business under MCEV includes contracts that meet the definition of "non-participating investment" contracts under IFRS.

For products sold to individuals, premiums are considered to represent new business where a new contract has been signed,
or where underwriting has been performed. Renewal premiums include contractual renewals, non-contractual variations that are reasonably predictable and recurrent single premiums that are pre-defined and reasonably predictable.

For group products, new business includes new contracts and increases to aggregate premiums under existing contracts. Renewal premiums are based on the level of premium received during the reporting period and allow for premiums expected to be received beyond the expiry of any guaranteed premium rates.

Life and pensions operating earnings

For life and pensions operating earnings, Aviva uses normalised investment returns. The use of asset risk premia reflects management's long-term expectations of asset returns in excess of the swap yield from investing in different asset classes.

The normalised investment return on equities and property has been calculated by reference to the ten-year swap rate in the relevant currency plus an appropriate risk premium. The expected return on bonds has been calculated by reference to the swap rate consistent with the duration of the backing assets in the relevant currency plus an appropriate risk margin (expected return is equivalent to the gross redemption yield less an allowance for defaults).

The expected existing business contribution (in excess of reference rate) is calculated using the implied discount rate (IDR), which itself is based on the normalised investment returns. The methodology applies the IDR to the Value of In Force (VIF) and Required Capital (RC) components of the MCEV and adds to this the total expected return for Free Surplus (FS) to derive the total expected return, in a manner consistent with that previously used under European Embedded Value reporting. This total is presented as the expected existing business contribution (reference rate), expected existing business contribution (in excess of reference rate) and expected return on shareholders' net worth (grossed up for tax for pre-tax presentation), with only the excess contribution being impacted by the approach. For businesses where the IDR is unpublished, the expected return in excess of the reference rate is calculated as the excess of the real world equivalent embedded value (EqEV) over the MCEV amortised over the average duration of the portfolio. The approach to expected return has no impact on total return or on the closing balance sheet.

MCEV methodology

Overview

Under the MCEV methodology, profit is recognised as it is earned over the life of products defined within covered business. The total profit recognised over the lifetime of a policy is the same as under the IFRS basis of reporting, but the timing of recognition is different.

Calculation of the embedded value

The shareholders' interest in the life and related businesses is represented by the embedded value. The embedded value is the total of the net worth of the life and related businesses and the value of in-force covered business. Calculations are performed separately for each business and are based on the cash flows of that business, after allowing for both external and intra-Group reinsurance. Where one life business has an interest in another, the net worth of that business excludes the interest in the dependent company.

The embedded value is calculated on an after-tax basis applying current legislation and practice together with future known changes. Consistent with CFO Forum guidance issued in 2011, no explicit allowance has been made for the developing European regulation regime (Solvency II) and associated consequences. Where gross results are presented, these have been calculated by grossing up post-tax results at the full rate of corporation tax for each country based on opening period tax rates, apart from the UK, where a 24% tax rate was used for 2012 for grossing up.

Net worth

The net worth is the market value of the shareholders' funds and the shareholders' interest in the surplus held in the non-profit component of the long-term business funds, determined on a statutory solvency basis and adjusted to add back any non-admissible assets, and consists of the required capital and free surplus.

Required capital is the market value of assets attributed to the covered business over and above that required to back liabilities for covered business, for which distribution to shareholders is restricted. Required capital is reported net of implicit items permitted on a local regulatory basis to cover minimum solvency margins which are assessed at a local entity level. The level of required capital for each business unit is generally set equal to the higher of:

n The level of capital at which the local regulator is empowered to take action;

n The capital requirement of the business unit under the Group's economic capital requirements; and

n The target capital level of the business unit.

For Aviva US, the required capital is set at 325% of the NAIC Company Action Level in line with management targets and target credit ratings.

This methodology reflects the level of capital considered by the directors to be appropriate to manage the business, and includes any additional shareholder funds not available for distribution, such as the reattributed inherited estate in the UK. The same definition of required capital is used for both existing and new business except in Italy where new business reflects the targeted capital level which better reflects the capital requirements of the new business.

The free surplus is the market value of any assets allocated to, but not required to support, the in-force covered business at the valuation date. The level of required capital across the business units expressed as a percentage of the EU minimum solvency margin (or equivalent) can be found in E15.

Value of in-force covered business (VIF)

The value of in-force covered business consists of the following components:

n present value of future profits;

n time value of financial options and guarantees;

n frictional costs of required capital; and

n cost of residual non-hedgeable risks.

Present value of future profits (PVFP)

This is the present value of the distributable profits to shareholders arising from the in-force covered business projected on a best estimate basis.

Distributable profits generally arise when they are released following actuarial valuations. These valuations are carried out in accordance with any local statutory requirements designed to ensure and demonstrate solvency in long-term business funds. Future distributable profits will depend on experience in a number of areas such as investment return, discontinuance rates, mortality, administration costs, as well as management and policyholder actions. Releases to shareholders arising in future years from the in-force covered business and associated required capital can be projected using assumptions of future experience.

Future profits are projected using best estimate non-economic assumptions and market consistent economic assumptions. In principle, each cash flow is discounted at a rate that appropriately reflects the riskiness of that cash flow, so higher risk cash flows are discounted at higher rates. In practice, the PVFP is calculated using the "certainty equivalent" approach, under which the reference rate is used for both the investment return and the discount rate. This approach ensures that asset cash flows are valued consistently with the market prices of assets without options and guarantees. Further information on the risk-free rates is given in note E15.

The PVFP includes the capitalised value of profits and losses arising from subsidiary companies providing administration, investment management and other services to the extent that they relate to covered business. This is referred to as the "look through" into service company expenses. In addition, expenses arising in holding companies that relate directly to acquiring or maintaining covered business have been allowed for. Where external companies provide services to the life and related businesses, their charges have been allowed for in the underlying projected cost base.

Time value of financial options and guarantees (TVOG)

The PVFP calculation is based on a single (base) economic scenario; however, a single scenario cannot appropriately allow for the effect of certain product features. If an option or guarantee affects shareholder cash flows in the base scenario, the impact is included in the PVFP and is referred to as the intrinsic value of the option guarantee; however, future investment returns are uncertain and the actual impact on shareholder profits may be higher or lower. The value of in-force business needs to be adjusted for the impact of the range of potential future outcomes. Stochastic modelling techniques can be used to assess the impact of potential future outcomes, and the difference between the intrinsic value and the total stochastic value is referred to as the time value of the option or guarantee.

Stochastic modelling typically involves projecting the future cash flows of the business under thousands of economic scenarios that are representative of the possible future outcomes for market variables such as interest rates and equity returns. Under a market consistent approach, the economic scenarios generated reflect the market's tendency towards risk aversion. Allowance is made, where appropriate, for the effect of management and/or policyholder actions in different economic conditions on future assumptions such
as asset mix, bonus rates and surrender rates.

Stochastic models are calibrated to market yield curves and volatility levels at the valuation date. Tests are performed to confirm that the scenarios used produce results that replicate the market price of traded instruments.

Where evidence exists that persistency rates are linked to economic scenarios, dynamic lapse assumptions are set that vary depending on the individual scenarios. This cost is included in the TVOG. Dynamic lapses are modelled for parts of the UK, US and French businesses. Asymmetries in non-economic assumptions that are linked to economic scenarios, but that have insufficient evidence for credible dynamic assumptions, are allowed for within mean best estimate assumptions.

Frictional costs of required capital

The additional costs to a shareholder of holding the assets backing required capital within an insurance company rather than directly in the market are called frictional costs. They are explicitly deducted from the PVFP. The additional costs allowed for are the taxation costs and any additional investment expenses on the assets backing the required capital. The level of required capital has been set out above in the net worth section.

Frictional costs are calculated by projecting forwards the future levels of required capital in line with drivers of the capital requirement. Tax on investment return and investment expenses are payable on the assets backing required capital, up until the point that they are released to shareholders.

Cost of residual non-hedgeable risks (CNHR)

The cost of residual non-hedgeable risks (CNHR) covers risks not already allowed for in the time value of options and guarantees
or the PVFP. The allowance includes the impact of both non-hedgeable financial and non-financial risks. The most significant risk
not included in the PVFP or TVOG is operational risk.

Asymmetric risks allowed for in the TVOG or PVFP are described earlier in the basis of preparation. No allowance has been made within the cost of non-hedgeable risk for symmetrical risks as these are diversifiable by investors.

US capital solutions

Credit has been taken within the US embedded value, and value of new business, for the anticipated reduction in capital requirements based on management's intention to enact transactions which allow recognition of additional assets that can be held against certain reserves, reducing shareholder capital requirements. These 'AXXX/XXX' transactions are fixed-term and are assumed to renew at current market rates. Enacting such transactions is common practice within the US market, and at 30 June 2012, transactions have been enacted for all business written from 2006 to 2011.

New business tax

New business for the US and Italy has been valued on a basis with tax applied at the full corporation rate and consequential movements in the value of the Deferred Tax Asset included as a variance within existing business operating return.

Participating business

Future regular bonuses on participating business are projected in a manner consistent with current bonus rates and expected future market-consistent returns on assets deemed to back the policies.

For with-profit funds in the UK and Ireland, for the purpose of recognising the value of the estate, it is assumed that terminal bonuses are increased to exhaust all of the assets in the fund over the future lifetime of the in-force with-profit policies. However, under stochastic modelling there may be some extreme economic scenarios when the total assets in the Group's with-profit funds are not sufficient to pay all policyholder claims. The average additional shareholder cost arising from this shortfall has been included
in the TVOG.

For profit-sharing business in continental Europe, where policy benefits and shareholder value depend on the timing of realising gains, the apportionment of unrealised gains between policyholders and shareholders reflect contractual requirements as well as existing practice. Under certain economic scenarios where additional shareholder injections are required to meet policyholder payments, the average additional cost has been included in the TVOG.

Participating business continued

The embedded value of the US spread-based products anticipates the application of management discretion allowed for contractually within the policies, subject to contractual guarantees. This includes the ability to change the crediting rates and indexed strategies available within the policy. Consideration is taken of the economic environment assumed in future projections and returns in excess of the reference rate are not assumed. Anticipated market and policyholder reaction to management action has been considered.

Consolidation adjustments

The effect of transactions between group life companies such as loans and reinsurance arrangements have been included in the results split by territory in a consistent manner. No elimination is required on consolidation.

As the MCEV methodology incorporates the impact of profits and losses arising from subsidiary companies providing administration, investment management and other services to the Group's life companies, the equivalent profits and losses have been removed from the relevant segment (other operations or fund management) and are instead included within the results of life and related businesses. In addition, the underlying basis of calculation for these profits has changed from the IFRS basis to the MCEV basis.

The capitalised value of the future profits and losses from such service companies are included in the embedded value and value of new business calculations for the relevant business, but the net assets (representing historical profits and other amounts) remain under other operations or fund management. In order to reconcile the profits arising in the financial period within each segment with the assets on the opening and closing statement of financial positions, a transfer of IFRS profits from life and related business to the appropriate segment is deemed to occur. An equivalent approach has been adopted for expenses within our holding companies.
The assessments of goodwill, intangibles and pension schemes relating to life insurance business utilise the IFRS measurement basis.

Exchange rates

The Group's principal overseas operations during the period were located within the Eurozone and the United States.

The results and cash flows of these operations have been translated at the average rates for that period and the assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rates. Please refer to note A2 of the IFRS financial statements.

Restatement

The 2010 and half year 2011 closing embedded values have been restated for the US, primarily reflecting modelling corrections to the valuation of certain life contracts and an overstatement of asset income identified in the second half of 2011. The resulting impact of the restatement was that the closing 2010 embedded value reduced by £257 million and the closing half year 2011 embedded value reduced by £257 million. Restated operating profit for period ending 30 June 2011 increased £52 million gross tax and minority interest as a result of increased expected return.

Impact of Delta Lloyd disposal

On 6 May 2011, the Group sold 25 million shares in Delta Lloyd N.V. ("Delta Lloyd") (the Group's Dutch long-term insurance, general insurance and fund management subsidiary), reducing our holding to approximately 43% of Delta Lloyd's ordinary share capital.

In line with IFRS, up to the date of partial disposal, Delta Lloyd has been presented as a discontinued operation. Following the partial disposal, when Delta Lloyd became an associate of Aviva, Delta Lloyd has been removed from covered business as it is not managed by either Aviva or Delta Lloyd on an MCEV basis. The impact on MCEV as at 6 May 2011 was a reduction of £1,519 million.

United Kingdom & Ireland

MCEV operating earnings were 7% lower at £471 million (HY11: £509 million) mainly due to lower value of new business and adverse experience variances.

Value of new business reduced by 8% to £176 million (HY11: £192 million), reflecting reduced volumes in Ireland due to the closing of Ark Life to new business and a reduction in bulk purchase annuities sales in the UK as the business continues to manage new business mix and pricing discipline.

Total expected return was broadly similar at £379 million (HY11: £383 million).

Operating experience variances, other operating variances and assumption changes decreased to £84 million adverse
(HY11: £66 million adverse) including higher expenditures from increased level of regulatory change and revisions to asset management profit margins.

France

MCEV operating earningsdecreased 32% to £200 million (HY11: £295 million) driven by a reduction in the value of new business and lower experience variances than the prior period.

Value of new business decreased 36% to £62 million (HY11: £97 million) following lower sales volumes of primarily unit-linked business and reduced margins on with-profits business as a result of the adverse economic climate in Europe in the first half of the year.

Total expected return increased 5% to £176 million (HY11: £168 million) resulting from a higher opening implied discount rate, albeit on a lower embedded value.

Experience variances were lower at £13 million adverse (HY11: £29 million) reflecting the assumption revisions in 2011 and an increase in lapse due to economic circumstances.

Other operating variances were lower at £25 million adverse (HY11: £1 million) relate to modelling refinements during the first half of the year.

United States

MCEV operating earnings decreased to £81 million (HY11: £188 million) driven by a reduction in the value of new business and unfavourable experience variances.

Value of new business of negative £138 million (HY11: £86 million negative) reflecting the adverse economic movements from lower risk-free rates.

Total expected return of £317 million (HY11: £323 million) is broadly in line with prior period.

Operating experience variances, other operating variances and assumption changes of £98 million adverse (HY11:£49 million adverse) primarily reflecting the marginal impact of new business on the value of deferred tax losses and non-recurrence of benefits from modelling refinements in the prior period.

Italy, Spain and Other Developed Markets

MCEV operating earnings increased by 30% to £323 million (HY11: £248 million) reflecting increases in expected return, partly offset by a reduction in the value of new business.

Value of new business decreased to £35 million (HY11: £102 million) driven by a reduction in volumes and margins in Italy and Spain reflecting the adverse economic climate in Europe in the first half of the year.

Total expected return increased to £311 million (HY11: £143 million) reflecting in Italy the expected release of the allowance for guarantees in the opening embedded value.

Experience variances increased to £34 million (HY11: £6 million) largely in Italy reflecting the benefit of the marginal impact of new business on the value of deferred tax losses and benefit of increased lapse due the negative value of in force business.

Assumption changes of £9 million adverse (HY11: £8 million adverse) relating to additional lapse provisions on unit linked business in Italy due to the adverse economic climate.

Other operating variances of £48 million adverse (HY11: £5 million) primarily from modelling improvements in Italy.

Higher Growth Markets

MCEV operating earnings decreased by 6% to £153 million (HY11: £162 million) as higher value of new business was more than offset by a decrease in experience variances and assumption change from the prior period.

Value of new business increased by 9% to £70 million (HY11: £64 million) due to an improvement in the margin reflecting
product mix.

Total expected return of £83 million (HY11: £87 million) broadly in line with prior period.

Operating experience variances, other operating variances and assumption changes of nil (HY11: £11 million) primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of positive assumption changes in the prior period.

1. Mortality experience continues to be better than the assumption set across a number of our businesses, most notably in France. Adverse experience reflects normal volatility in mortality and increased retention limits in the US.

3. Other experience includes positive tax variances in France and adverse spread variance in the US.

4. Maintenance expense assumptions reflect the adverse impact of reallocating expenses from acquisition to maintenance in Ireland and provision release in Poland.

5. Persistency assumptions have been updated in a number of businesses, including refinement of 2010 assumptions in the US.

6. Other operating variances for the US relate to modelling enhancements offset by the marginal impact of new business on the value of deferred tax losses, and in Other Higher Growth markets, management action to improve persistency.

1 Adverse expense experience occurred across a number of businesses.

2 Mortality experience continues to be better than the assumption set across a number of our businesses, most notably in France. Adverse experience reflects normal volatility in mortality and increased retention limits in the US.

3 Persistency experience continues to be somewhat volatile across our businesses. Asia reflects an accumulation of small adverse experience across businesses.

4 Other experience includes tax benefits from the transfer of former RBS joint venture business into the long-term fund in the UK.

5 Maintenance and project expense assumptions have been revised in many regions with a broadly neutral impact on continuing business.

6 Mortality assumptions have been updated in France reflecting experience.

7 Persistency assumptions have been updated in a number of businesses reflecting lower expected lapses in France (AFER), increases due to the economic environment in Ireland and Spain, and, in the US, revisions to dynamic policyholder lapse behaviour.

8 Other operating assumption changes in Poland relate to a change to assumed management actions in relation to product charges, and, in the US, revisions to policyholder utilisation of rider benefits offset by revisions to annuity spread assumptions.

9 Other operating variances relate to modelling changes and the release of a modelling provision in France, and modelling refinements in Italy, and, in the US, the marginal impact of new business on the value of deferred tax losses, with cost of capital transactions and model refinements broadly offsetting.

1. Required capital is shown net of implicit items permitted by local regulators to cover minimum solvency margins.

2. Other non-operating variances relate to costs for Solvency II implementation and other restructuring exercises.

3. Included within capital and dividend flows is the transfer to Life and related businesses from other segments consisting of service company profits and losses during the reported period that have emerged from the value of in-force. Since the "look through" into service companies includes only future profits and losses, these amounts must be eliminated from the closing embedded value.

4. Acquired/divested business includes the acquisition of Pelayo Vida on 17 January 2012.

1 Required capital is shown net of implicit items permitted by local regulators to cover minimum solvency margins.

2 Other non-operating variances are described under Exceptional items in note E5.

3 Included within capital and dividend flows is the transfer to Life and related businesses from other segments consisting of service company profits and losses during the reported period that have emerged from the value of in-force. Since the 'look through' into service companies includes only future profits and losses, these amounts must be eliminated from the closing embedded value.

4 As a result of the January 2012 announced disposal of the Czech, Hungarian, and Romanian businesses, the VIF movement reflects the write-down of this business to the IFRS carrying value.

5. Divested business is the removal of Delta Lloyd from covered business subsequent to the reduction of our holding to 42% on 6 May 2011.

E8 - Life MCEV operating earnings

The table below presents the life and pensions MCEV earnings broken down into constituent parts. The life and pensions MCEV operating earnings comprise: the value of new business written during the year; the earnings from existing business including other operating variances; and the expected investment return on the shareholders' net worth.

These components are calculated using economic assumptions as at the start of the year (in-force business) or start of the quarter (new business) and operating (demographic and expenses) assumptions as at the end of the year.

The table above presents a summarised breakdown of the life and pensions MCEV earnings on a gross of non-controlling interests basis and gross of tax with tax shown separately. The Group favours the gross presentation for consistency with the IFRS results. The table below compares the key items on the different bases as the subsequent analysis is provided predominantly on a net of tax and non-controlling interests basis as preferred by the CFO Forum Principles.

4 Negative MCEV in Italy results from widening of spreads on sovereign debt over the year

The required capital across our life businesses varies between 100% and 325% of EU minimum or equivalent. The weighted average level of required capital for our life business expressed as a percentage of the EU minimum (or equivalent) solvency margin has increased to 138% (FY2011: 135%). These levels of required capital are used in the calculation of the Group's embedded value to evaluate the cost of locked in capital. At 30 June 2012 the aggregate regulatory requirements based on the EU minimum test amounted to £5.8 billion (FY2011: £5.9 billion). At this date, the actual net worth held in our long-term business was £9.1 billion (FY2011: £9.3 billion) which represents 157% (FY2011: 158%) of these minimum requirements.

E13 - Implied discount rates (IDR)

In the valuation of a block of business, the implied discount rate is the rate of discount such that a traditional embedded value calculation for the covered business equates to the MCEV.

The cash flows projected are the expected future cash flows including expected investment cash flows from equities, bonds and properties earning a risk premium in excess of risk free, statutory reserves and required capital. The risk premiums used are consistent with those used in the expected existing business contribution within operating earnings. As the risk premiums are positive, a discount rate higher than risk-free is required to give a value equal to the market-consistent embedded value.

Average derived risk discount rates are shown below for the embedded value.

	30 June 2012 %	Full year 2011 %

1. Where there is significant difference in projected real world and risk neutral profits and the value of the in force business plus required capital is negative or close to zero, the IDR is not well defined and consequently IDR is not meaningful.

E15 - Principal assumptions

(a) Economic assumptions - Deterministic calculations

Economic assumptions are derived actively, based on market yields on risk-free fixed interest assets at the end of each reporting period.

In setting the risk-free rate we have, wherever possible, used the mid-price swap yield curve for an AA-rated bank. The curve is extrapolated beyond the last available market data point to an ultimate forward rate using the Nelson-Siegel functional form if necessary. For markets in which there is no reliable swap yield curve, the relevant government bond yields are used. For certain business, swap rates are adjusted for a 'liquidity premium' in deriving the risk free rates, and these adjustments are shown below the reference rate table.

Required capital is shown as a multiple of the EU statutory minimum solvency margin or equivalent.

The principal economic assumptions used are as follows:

Reference rate (spot, swap rates) and expense inflation

	United Kingdom
	30 June 2012 %	30 June 2011 %	Full year 2011 %	Full year 2010 %

5 years	1.3%	2.5%	1.6%	2.7%
10 years	2.2%	3.6%	2.3%	3.7%
15 years	2.7%	4.1%	2.8%	4.1%
20 years	3.0%	4.3%	3.0%	4.2%
Expense inflation	2.6%	3.4%	2.8%	3.3%

For service companies, expense inflation relates to the underlying expenses rather than the fees charged to the life company.

The following adjustments are made to the swap rate for immediate annuity type contracts and for all contracts for Aviva USA.
The risk-free rate is taken as the swap yield curve for the currency of the liability, adjusted by adding the following to each swap rate:

The approach to estimating the market level of liquidity premium in corporate bond assets is consistent with the formula structure proposed by CFO/CRO Forum working party.

The formula is:

UK/Europe: 50% of (iBoxx Corporate bond spread - 40bp)

USA: 60% of (iBoxx Corporate bond spread - 40bp)

For assets valued on a marked to model basis (e.g., commercial mortgages), the liquidity premium is consistent with the underlying model valuation.

Adjustments are made where liabilities are not fully backed by assets earning a liquidity premium and for contracts that are exposed to some lapse risk. There has been no change to the types of contracts to which a liquidity premium is applied.

E15 - Principal assumptions continued

(a) Economic assumptions - Deterministic calculations continued

Risk premium - used for operating profit, Implied Discount Rates (IDR), Internal Rates of Return (IRR) and payback period

For life and pensions operating earnings, Aviva uses normalised investment returns. The normalised investment returns are expressed as a swap rate based on the typical duration of the assets held plus an asset risk premium. More detail is given in note E1 - Basis of Preparation.

The use of asset risk premia only impacts operating earnings as expected returns reflect management's long-term expectations of asset returns in excess of the reference rate from investing in different asset classes. This assumption does not impact the embedded value or value of new business as asset risk premia are not recognised until earned. The asset risk premia set out in the table below are added to the ten year swap rate to calculate expected returns.

	All territories
	30 June 2012	30 June 2011	Full year 2011	Full year 2010
Equity risk premium	3.5%	3.5%	3.5%	3.5%
Property risk premium	2.0%	2.0%	2.0%	2.0%

Future returns on fixed interest investments are calculated from prospective yields less an adjustment for credit risk.

1 The required capital in the United Kingdom under MCEV is 100% for unit-linked and other non-participating business and annuity business with 200% for BPA business. In addition, the reattribution of the inherited estate has led to additional capital being locked in to support the with-profit business, and this has been included within required capital.

2 Required capital in Ireland under MCEV is 174% for bancassurance and 180% for retail business.

3 Required capital in Spain is 156% of the EU minimum for Aviva Vida y Pensiones and 122% - 130% for bancassurance companies.

4 This is the aggregate required capital level for in force business in Italy and reflects the current economic environment. It has increased from 2011 due to a true up of prior estimates. New business metrics continue to use management target levels of required capital (115%-165% of EU minimum), which better reflects the capital requirements of the new business.

5 Current tax legislation and rates have been assumed to continue unaltered except in UK where changes in future tax rates have been considered on a best estimate basis as a known future change.

The UK Finance Act 2012 included a reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 24% to 23% with effect from 1 April 2013. This is considered a known future change for MCEV purposes and has been reflected in the Group's MCEV net assets as at 30 June 2012.
As announced in the 2012 Budget, the rate is expected to reduce further to 22% from 1 April 2014. The benefit to the Group's MCEV net assets from the further 1% reduction in the rate from 23% to 22% is estimated at approximately £60 million and is not reflected in the Group's MCEV net assets as at 30 June 2012.

The UK Finance Act 2012 also included initial legislation introducing considerable changes to the regime for taxing UK life insurance companies applicable from 1 January 2013. These changes are considered to be a known future change for MCEV purposes and have resulted in a reduction in deferred tax liabilities, increasing the Group's MCEV net assets at 30 June 2012 by £15 million.

Other economic assumptions

Required capital relating to with-profit business is generally assumed to be covered by the surplus within the with-profit funds and
no effect has been attributed to shareholders. Where the fund is insufficient and additional shareholder support is required, this is included within required capital, including the RIEESA in the UK. Bonus rates on participating business have been set at levels consistent with the economic assumptions. The distribution of profit between policyholders and shareholders within the with-profit funds assumes that the shareholder interest in conventional with-profit business in the UK and Ireland continues at the current rate
of one-ninth of the cost of bonus.

(b) Economic Assumptions - Stochastic calculations

The calculation of time value of options and guarantees allows for expected management and policyholder actions in response to varying future investment conditions. The management actions modelled include changes to asset mix, bonus rates and rates of interest and other guarantees granted to policyholders. Modelled policyholder actions are described under 'Other assumptions'.

E15 - Principal assumptions continued

Model - United States and United Kingdom

Swap rates are generated by a model, the LIBOR Market Model Plus (LMM+), which projects a full swap curve at monthly intervals.
At half year 2011, the LMM model was used in the UK to generate scenarios. Forward rates are assumed to have a distribution that lies between the log-normal and normal distributions. Although this no longer guarantees non-negative interest rates, it maintains interest rates within a more plausible range than the standard Libor Market Model, and gives a better fit to certain swaption volatility surfaces. The model is calibrated to volatilities for swaptions for ten year swaps for a range of option terms and strike rates. Swaption volatilities are taken from SuperDerivatives. Tests have been performed to ensure that sufficient scenarios have been used that the result converges to the stochastic value of the business being valued.

The total annual return on equities is calculated as the return on one-year swaps plus an excess return. For the US, this excess return is modelled using a log-normal model where volatility varies by time horizon. This allows the model to capture the term structure of implied volatilities. The model is calibrated to at-the-money options of a variety of terms. For the UK, a stochastic volatility jump defusion model is used, which allows for varying levels of volatility over time and across strike prices. Option volatilities are taken from Markit.

Assumptions for correlations between asset classes have been set based on historic data.

Model - Other Developed and Higher Growth markets

Swap rates are generated by a model, the LIBOR Market Model (LMM) that projects a full swap curve at monthly intervals. Forward rates are assumed to have a log-normal distribution which guarantees non-negative interest rates. The model is calibrated to at-the-money swaptions of a variety of terms and tenors. Swaption volatilities are taken from SuperDerivatives. Tests have been performed
to ensure that sufficient scenarios have been used that the result converges to the stochastic value of the business being valued.

The total annual return on equities is calculated as the return on one-year swaps plus an excess return. This excess return is generally modelled using a log-normal model where volatility varies by time horizon. This allows the model to capture the term structure of implied volatilities. The model is calibrated to at-the-money options of a variety of terms. Option volatilities are taken
from Markit.

The model also generates property total returns and real yield curves, although these are not significant asset classes for Aviva outside the UK. In the absence of liquid market data, the volatilities of these asset classes are based on historic data.

Assumptions for correlations between asset classes have been set based on historic data.

Asset classes

The significant asset classes for UK participating business are equities, property and long-term fixed rate bonds. The most significant assumptions are the distribution of future long-term interest rates (nominal and real) and swaption implied volatilities.

For many businesses, including US and France, the most important assets are fixed rate bonds of various durations.

Property implied volatilities

Best estimate levels of volatility have been used in the absence of meaningful option prices from which implied levels of volatility can be derived.

For the UK, model property implied volatility is 15% for 30 June 2012 (30 June 2011: 15%).

Demographic assumptions

Assumed future mortality, morbidity and lapse rates have been derived from an analysis of Aviva's recent operating experience with
a view to giving a best estimate of future experience. We have anticipated future changes in experience where that is appropriate,
e.g. we have allowed for improvements in future policyholder longevity.

We have set the assumptions based on a best estimate of shareholder outcomes. In particular, where the policyholder behaviour varies with economic experience, we have set assumptions which are dynamic, i.e. vary depending on the economic assumptions. For example, surrender and option take up rate assumptions that vary according to the investment scenario under consideration have been used in the calculation of the time value of options and guarantees, based on our assessment of likely policyholder behaviour
in different investment scenarios.

Additionally, where demographic experience is not driven by economic scenarios but is asymmetric on a stand-alone basis, the best estimate assumption considers the weighted-average expected experience, not simply the median or most likely outcome.

Notwithstanding the notification on 15 December 2011 that the bancassurance distribution agreement with Allied Irish Bank was not being renewed, the Aviva Ireland demographic and expense assumptions have been set assuming the business remains open to new business and does not incur diseconomies of scale or other operating impacts.

Expense assumptions

Management expenses and operating expenses of holding companies attributed to life and related businesses have been included in the MCEV calculations and split between expenses relating to the acquisition of new business, the maintenance of business in-force and project expenses. Future expense assumptions include an allowance for maintenance expenses and a proportion of recurring project expenses. Certain expenses of an exceptional nature, when they occur, are identified separately and are generally charged
as incurred. No future productivity gains have been anticipated.

Where subsidiary companies provide administration, investment management or other services to our life businesses, the value
of profits or losses arising from these services have been included in the embedded value and value of new business.

Non-hedgeable risk

For the balance sheet and operating profit, a charge of 3.3% has been applied to the group-diversified capital required on a 1-in-200 one-year basis over the remaining lifetime of in-force business.The charge is set so as to give an aggregate allowance that is in excess of the expected operational risk costs arising from the in-force covered business over its remaining lifetime.

The capital levels used are projected to be sufficient to cover non-hedgeable risks at the 99.5% confidence level one-year after the valuation date. The capital is equal to the capital from the ICA results for those risks considered. Diversification benefits are included between non-hedgeable risks of the covered business. No diversification benefit is assumed with hedgeable risks of the covered business or with non-covered business in general. The capital has been projected as running off over the remaining life of the in-force portfolio in line with the drivers of the capital requirement.

In addition to the operational risk allowance, financial non-hedgeable risks and other product level asymmetries have been allowed for. These allowances are not material as significant financial non-hedgeable risks and product level asymmetries are either modelled explicitly and included in the TVOG or are included in the PVFP through the use of appropriate best estimate assumptions.

E16 - Sensitivity analysis

(a) Economic assumptions

The following tables show the sensitivity of the embedded value and the value of new business to:

n 10 basis point increase in the liquidity premium adjustment, where applicable;

n one percentage point increase and decrease in the risk-free rate, including all consequential changes (including assumed investment returns for all asset classes, market values of fixed interest assets, risk discount rates);

n 10% increase and decrease in market values of equity and property assets;

n 25% increase in equity and swaption volatilities;

n 50 basis point increase and decrease in credit spreads with no change to liquidity premium; and

n decrease in the level of required capital to 100% EU minimum (or equivalent).

In each sensitivity calculation, all other assumptions remain unchanged except where they are directly affected by the revised economic conditions. For example, future bonus rates are automatically adjusted to reflect sensitivity changes to future investment returns. Some of the sensitivity scenarios may have consequential effects on valuation bases, where the basis for certain blocks of business is actively updated to reflect current economic circumstances. Consequential valuation impacts on the sensitivities are allowed for where an active valuation basis is used. Where businesses have a target asset mix, the portfolio is re-balanced after a significant market movement otherwise no re-balancing is assumed.

For new business, the sensitivities reflect the impact of a change immediately after inception of the policy.

In general, the magnitude of the sensitivities will reflect the size of the embedded values, though this will vary as the sensitivities have different impacts on the different components of the embedded value. In addition, other factors can have a material impact, such as the nature of the options and guarantees, as well as the types of investments held.

The credit spread sensitivities assume that the change relates to credit risk and not liquidity risk; in practice, credit spread movements may be partially offset due to changes in liquidity risk.

Sensitivities will also vary according to the current economic assumptions, mainly due to the impact of changes to both the intrinsic cost and time value of options and guarantees. Options and guarantees are the main reason for the asymmetry of the sensitivities where the guarantee impacts to different extents under the different scenarios.

(b) Non-economic assumptions

The following tables below show the sensitivity of the embedded value and the value of new business to the following changes
in non-economic assumptions:

n 10% decrease in maintenance expenses (a 10% sensitivity on a base expense assumption of £10 pa would represent an expense assumption of £9 pa). Where there is a "look through" into service company expenses the fee charged by the service company is unchanged while the underlying expense decreases;

n 10% decrease in lapse rates (a 10% sensitivity on a base assumption of 5% pa would represent a lapse rate of 4.5% pa); and

n 5% decrease in both mortality and morbidity rates disclosed separately for life assurance and annuity business.

No future management actions are modelled in reaction to the changing non-economic assumptions. In each sensitivity calculation all other assumptions remain unchanged. No changes to valuation bases have been included.

Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the Market Consistent Embedded Value
(MCEV) basis

When compliance with the European Insurance CFO Forum Market Consistent Embedded Value Principles (MCEV Principles), published in October 2009, is stated, those principles require the directors to prepare supplementary information in accordance with the methodology contained in the MCEV Principles and to disclose and explain any non-compliance with the guidance included in the MCEV Principles.

In preparing this supplementary information, the directors have done so in accordance with these MCEV Principles and have also complied with the guidance as set out in the Basis of Preparation. Specifically, the directors have:

n determined assumptions on a realistic basis, having regard to past, current and expected future experience and to relevant external data, and then applied them consistently;

n made estimates that are reasonable and consistent; and,

n provided additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements of the MCEV Principles is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions and the Group's financial position and financial performance.

Independent review report to Aviva Plc

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF AVIVA plc - MCEV

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements in the half year report - Supplement 2 for the six months ended 30 June 2012, which comprises the Condensed consolidated income statement - MCEV basis, Earnings per share - MCEV basis, the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income - MCEV Basis, the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity - MCEV Basis, the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position - MCEV basis, the Reconciliation of shareholders' equity on IFRS and MCEV bases, the Reconciliation of IFRS total equity to MCEV net worth, the Group MCEV analysis of earnings and the related notes E1 to E16 on pages 8 to 38. We have read the other information contained in the half year report - Supplement 2 and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements.

We have reported separately on the Condensed consolidated financial statements of Aviva plc prepared on an IFRS basis for the six months ended 30 June 2012. The information contained in the Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Condensed consolidated financial statements prepared on an IFRS basis.

Directors' responsibilities

The Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements in the half year report - Supplement 2 is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements in the half year report - Supplement 2 in accordance with the CFO Forum Principles and the Basis of Preparation set out on pages 8 to 11.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements in the half year report - Supplement 2 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 interim 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 Condensed consolidated set of MCEV financial statements in the half year report - Supplement 2 for the six months ended 30 June 2012 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the CFO Forum Principles and the Basis of Preparation set out on pages 8 to 11.

Deferred annuities are accumulation contracts, which may be used to provide benefits in retirement, and may be guaranteed, unit-linked or index-linked.

Bonds and savings

These are accumulation products with single or regular premiums and unit-linked or guaranteed investment returns. Our product ranges include single premium investment bonds, regular premium savings plans and mortgage endowment products.

Critical illness cover

Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum if the insured person is diagnosed with a serious illness that meets the plan definition. The cover is often provided in conjunction with other benefits under a protection contract.

Deferred annuities

Page 45

Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV) terms cont.

New business margin

The present value of new regular premiums plus 100% of single premiums, calculated using assumptions consistent with those used to determine the value of new business.

Required capital

The amount of assets, over and above the value placed on liabilities in respect of covered business, whose distribution to shareholders is restricted.

Risk-free rate (reference rate in CFO Forum terminology)

The risk-free rate is taken as swaps except for all contracts that contain features similar to immediate annuities and are backed by appropriate assets, including paid up group deferred annuities and deferred annuities and all other contracts in the US.
