1 Represents held for sale US life operations which from 1 January 2013 are not included in MCEV covered business as set out in F1 Basis of Preparation.

2 Comprises PVFP of £9,030 million (30 June 2012: £6,721 million; 31 December 2012: £8,616 million), FC of £(471) million (30 June 2012: £(579) million; 31 December 2012: £(569) million), CNHR of £(1,162) million (30 June 2012: £(1,063) million; 31 December 2012: £(1,381) million), and TVOG of £(963) million (30 June 2012: £(1,347) million; 31 December 2012: £(1,300) million).

3 Comprises embedded value of £13,869 million (30 June 2012: 12,902 million; 31 December 2012: £14,941 million) and non-controlling interest in long-term business assets of £1,346 million (30 June 2012: £1,152 million; 31 December 2012: £1,556 million).

Differences between the reconciling items for 30 June 2013, 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2012 arise mainly from different treatment of the United States business. For 30 June 2013, the Adjustment for Life net assets on an IFRS basis relates to US operations, which are included on an IFRS basis within non-covered but related to life business. The IFRS net assets are included at the expected fair value less costs to sell, including the effect of re-measurement at 30 June 2013 and the impact of foreign exchange movement during the period. For 31 December 2012, IFRS net assets included the expected fair value less costs to sell for the US and the total difference from the amount included for the US in the MCEV net worth was included in Other accounting and tax differences. For 30 June 2012, each reconciling item included the appropriate contribution from the US business.

For 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, the adjustments for DAC and DIR and differences in technical provisions mainly relate to the UK & Ireland.

F1 - Basis of preparation

The consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of financial position on pages 110 to 113 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 with the exception of stating held for sale operations at their expected fair value, as represented by expected sale proceeds, less cost to sell.

The CFO Forum Guidance is not adopted in a number of respects:

n Guidance 2.1 requires that covered business includes contracts regarded as long-term life insurance business. However the US operations are not included in the covered business from 1 January 2013 as MCEV is not used to manage the business due to the pending sale of the operation.

n Guidance 17.4 requires that sensitivities are provided for the total MCEV results. However, the sensitivity analysis in note F19 excludes held for sale operations, reflecting that these operations are stated at expected fair value less cost to sell.

n Guidance 17.3.29 indicates that changes to models to reflect improvements or rectify errors should be included in the 'other operating variances' line in the analysis of earnings. 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.

n Guidance 17.3.32 and 17.3.47 indicates that, when a company has more than one geographical area of operation, the business classifications disclosed should be consistent with those used for the IFRS financial statements. While MCEV results have been aligned with Aviva's management structure following the changes announced in the first quarter of 2013 the classifications have been presented at a more aggregated level than those segments presented in B5 which are in line
with IFRS 8.

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 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. The PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP report in respect of the half-year can be found on page 148.

Covered business

The MCEV calculations cover the following lines of business unless specifically noted below: 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 (until disposal in April 2013), 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".

The following are not included within covered business:

n US operations from 1 January 2013 as described under Treatment of US operations below.

n Delta Lloyd in the current and all comparative periods. From 6 May 2011 to 5 July 2012, Delta Lloyd was an associate and was removed from the covered business as MCEV was not used to manage the operation. From 5 July 2012 up to when Delta Lloyd was sold on 8 January 2013, Aviva's remaining investment holding is not included within covered business. For 'Group' MCEV reporting, which includes general insurance and other non-covered business, Delta Lloyd is included on an IFRS basis.

Held for Sale operations (excluding US)

Aviva's methodology adopts the MCEV Principles published by the CFO Forum in October 2009 with the exception of stating held for sale operations at their expected fair value less cost to sell in the consolidated statement of financial position.

It is considered that the CFO Forum MCEV Principles were designed to define the approach to valuing covered business on an ongoing basis and do not explicitly define the appropriate treatment of covered business operations that are held for sale. For these operations, where there is an expected sale price, the directors believe it is reasonable to value the shareholders' interest as the expected fair value less cost to sell thus reflecting the expected value upon completion of the transaction.

Certain life covered operations are classified as held for sale, consistent with the IFRS classification as detailed in note F18. The life covered MCEV for the held for sale operations has been adjusted within the value of in force business and this adjustment has been reported in the analysis of earnings through the acquired/divested business line, resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 30 June 2013 of £48 million (31 December 2012: £175 million, 30 June 2012: nil). The adjustment reflects the amount needed to align the contribution to shareholder equity with the expected fair value less cost to sell. There is no impact to the life and related business MCEV operating profits and total earnings. The consolidated income statement includes a profit on disposal and remeasurement of subsidiaries and associates, based on the expected fair value less cost to sell, of £48 million (31 December 2012: £175 million, 30 June 2012: nil) in relation to the life covered held for sale operations.

In line with the preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position - MCEV basis, the assets and liabilities of held for sale operations are stated at the IFRS values with any differences in measurement on an MCEV basis reflected in the additional value of in-force long term business.

Within the sensitivity analysis F19, and other disclosures where applicable, held for sale operations are excluded, reflecting that these operations are stated at expected fair value less cost to sell. Further details are provided against each applicable disclosure.

Treatment of US Operations

For 2012, the US was included in covered business. Following the classification of the United States business as Held for Sale on 21 December 2012, the US was re-measured to expected fair value less cost to sell, in line with treatment of other Held for Sale operations, as described above. This resulted in an increase to the closing life MCEV at 31 December 2012 of £1,095 million to £1,058 million. This adjustment was reported in the analysis of earnings through the acquired/divested line, and hence there was no impact to the life and related business MCEV operating profits and total earnings.

From 1 January 2013 the results for the held for sale operations in the US are not included within the covered business as MCEV is not used to manage this business due to the pending sale of the operations. For Group MCEV reporting, which includes general insurance and other non-covered business, the US operations are included on an IFRS basis within non-covered but related to life business. The transfer to non-covered but related to life business is reported as an 'opening adjustment' in both the Group MCEV and covered business analysis of earnings. There is no impact to the total earnings from the transfer as the US operations are reported on both an IFRS and MCEV basis at the expected fair value less cost to sell. During the period the fair value less costs to sell of US Life included in the consolidated statement of financial position - MCEV basis has increased to £523 million (31 December 2012: £367 million). Please refer to note B4 for details on how this remeasurement is recognised in the income statement and in other comprehensive income.
In line with IFRS, the results for the held for sale operations in the United States are presented as discontinued operations.

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 2012, no explicit allowance has been made for the developing European regulation regime (Solvency II) and associated consequences. No allowance has been made for potential legislation change relating to Pillar II pensions in Poland, as outlined in section F18. 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 23% tax rate was used for 2013 for grossing up (2012: 24%).

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 highest 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;

where "highest of" is assessed as the basis yielding the lowest level of free assets.

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, for comparative periods.

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 certain entities in Italy and Spain where new business reflects the targeted capital level which better reflects the capital requirements of the new business. The total required capital for the entities in question is based on the overall biting constraint. There is a true-up within economic variances for the difference between calculating the new business required capital on a target rather than economic capital basis.

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 F18.

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.

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 F18.

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 or 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.

Page 120

F1 - Basis of preparation continued

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 (for comparative periods), French and Spanish 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 comparative periods, 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 by the end of 2012, transactions have been enacted for all business written from 2006 to 2012.

New business tax

New business for US (comparative periods) 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.

For comparative periods 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 each management action has been considered.

Consolidation adjustments

The effect of transactions between the Group's 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 with any required adjustment reflected in the additional value of the in force long-term business in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Exchange rates

The Group's principal overseas operations during the period were located within the Eurozone, the US (for comparative periods) and Poland.

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 F18.

Restatement of prior period figures

Restatements of IFRS financial statements have been consistently reflected in the Group MCEV financial statements. These reflect:

n A change in accounting requirements for employee benefits (IAS 19) resulting in an increase to profit before tax for the 6 month period ending 30 June 2012 of £74 million and profit before tax for the full year 2012 of £150 million in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding decrease in other comprehensive income. There is no change to total comprehensive income or equity reported in the consolidated statements for these periods.

n A change in accounting requirement for consolidated financial statements (IFRS 10) resulting in a net decrease in total assets and total liabilities on an IFRS basis of £1,839 million as at 30 June 2012 and £946 million as at 31 December 2012 in the consolidated statement of financial position. There is no impact on profit or equity reported for the periods ending 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012.

n A reclassification of certain contracts issued by the Group's Italian long-term business from participating insurance contracts to participating investment contracts in the IFRS financial statements. As a result there has been a reallocation from gross insurance liabilities to gross liabilities for investment contracts of £2,515 million at 30 June 2012 in the consolidated statement of financial position; this reclassification had previously been applied in the 2012 Report and Accounts. There is no impact on profit for the period or equity reported for the period ending 30 June 2012.

n As described in note B4, the Group's US life and annuity business and associated investment management operations (together 'US Life') have been classified as held for sale. Consistent with the presentation in the Group's 2012 Report and Accounts, the results of US Life for the period, as well as those for preceding periods, have been classified as discontinued operations.

n In the first quarter of 2013, the Group announced modifications to its management structure. As a result, the Group's operating segments were reviewed to align them with the revised organisational reporting structure. This has resulted in changes to the reportable operating segments as described in note B5. The geographical analysis in MCEV is presented at a more aggregated level than the reportable operating segments set out in note B5.

n IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements (amended) requires the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income according to whether they will subsequently be reclassified to the income statement. The criteria when items are required to be reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement are set out in the "Accounting policies" section in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Group's 2012 Report and Accounts. The adoption of the amendments to IAS 1 results in a revised presentation of the statement of comprehensive income in these interim financial statements.

Further explanation of these changes is provided in notes B1 and B2.

Page 122

F2 - Development of MCEV

The life covered MCEV (net of tax and minority interest) is £13,869 million, a decrease of £14 million in the period from the adjusted opening MCEV of £13,883 million. This movement comprises earnings of £963 million in the six months, reduced by dividends and other capital flows from the covered business of £762 million and £540 million reduction reflecting the transfer of part of our Spanish business to Bankia and disposal of other smaller ventures. These items were partly offset by a positive movement in the exchange rates.

The opening adjustment, which reduced the MCEV by £1,058 million, from £14,941 million to £13,883 million, is due to the re-classification of Aviva USA to non-covered business.

Profitability (pre tax and before minority interest, for continuing operations)

New Business

New business volumes reduced by 6% on a PVNBP basis, principally driven by lower sales in the UK. More than offsetting this, margins improved significantly to 3.9% (HY12: 3.1%). This improvement has been primarily driven by the UK, where the margin has improved to 4.8% (HY12: 3.4%) mainly as a result of pricing actions taken in the second half of 2012 in the annuity book. In addition there were strong performances in France, Turkey and Asia, reflecting higher volumes and improved margins, partly offset by reductions in Italy and Spain. As a result, the value of new business (VNB) has increased by 17% to £401 million (HY12: £343 million).

Expected Return

The total expected return was lower at £685 million before tax and minority interests (HY12: £949 million), consisting of £579 million (HY12: £799 million) expected return from existing business together with £106 million (HY12: £150 million) expected return on shareholder net worth. The reduction from the previous year is principally driven by changes in Italy and the UK. In Italy, expected return includes an anticipated release of allowances for guarantees in the opening MCEV. This allowance was significantly lower at the start of 2013, reflecting the recovery in economic conditions. In the UK the expected return reduced significantly reflecting a lower IDR at FY12 and a de-risking of shareholder funds.

Management actions and other variances

Experience variances and operating assumption changes total £(45) million (HY12: £(39) million), reflecting the strengthening of persistency assumptions in Spain following poor short-term experience in our joint ventures.

Other operating variances of £160 million (HY12: £(106) million) primarily reflect the benefit from agreements made to reduce long-term guarantees as soon as contractually possible on with profit business in Italy. In addition, management actions in France have reduced the expected value of guaranteed minimum death benefits giving rise to an increase in operating profits.

Non-operating earnings

Non-operating earnings in the period were £534 million (HY12: £1,009 million), made up of economic variances of £555 million (HY12: £1,022 million) and other non-operating variances of £(21) million (HY12: £(13) million). This variance is driven by favourable economic variances, particularly in the UK, Spain and Italy. In the UK positive variances arising due to narrowing credit spreads, future tax rate reductions and asset out performance have been partially offset by adverse credit default experience on commercial mortgages and losses due to increases in the risk-free rate. In Spain and Italy economic variances have been driven by narrowing credit spreads.

Life Operating Capital Generation (OCG)

The profitability of the business can be analysed into impacts on free surplus, required capital and value of in force business (see note F8). This shows how investment in new business generates additional future profit, how expected profits and releases of capital emerge from existing business in the period, as well as how experience has changed from what was anticipated in the opening value.

These movements are shown net of tax and minority interest, and the free surplus operating earnings form the basis of OCG for life and related business.

New Business Strain

Investment in writing new business was £164 million (HY12: £250 million), reflecting the benefit of re-pricing of individual annuity business in the UK, together with savings in acquisition costs and the impact of lower new business volumes. This investment included locking in £85 million (HY12: £91 million) of required capital, which will be released over time, and £79 million (HY12: £159 million) of net worth strain, and has resulted in an increased value of future profits of £364 million (HY12: £390 million).

Expected Transfer to Free Surplus

The expected emergence of profits and run-off of required capital associated with the in-force portfolio contributed £610 million to OCG (HY12: £620 million). In addition, OCG benefits from the transfer to free surplus from the expected return on shareholders' net worth of £10 million (HY12: £33 million) to give a total life expected free surplus generation of £620 million (HY12: £653 million).

Management actions and other variances

In aggregate, the impact of experience variances and operating assumption changes on free surplus is small at £(10) million (HY12: £55 million).

Other operating variances have a positive impact of £188 million (HY12: £170 million). This includes the impact of actions to convert future value into free surplus, as is normal industry practice, and the reserving benefit arising from actions which improve expected profitability, including reducing guarantees.

In aggregate, experience variances, assumption changes and other operating variances contribute £178 million to OCG (HY12: £225 million).

2 Within the UK project and other related expenses reflect higher than expected expenditure on development of systems and processes

3 Persistency experience remains volatile across most of our business, in part reflecting the wider economic circumstances. Positive lapse variance in Europe reflects increased lapses on business with guarantees in Italy.

4 Morbidity assumptions have been updated in Korea.

5 Persistency assumptions include additional provisions in Spain reflecting adverse experience in the joint ventures.

6 Other operating variances reflect management actions taken to reduce guarantees on existing business in Italy and France.

F4 - Geographical analysis of fund management operating earnings

The summarised consolidated income statement on an MCEV basis includes earnings from the Group's fund management operations as analysed below. This excludes the proportion of the results of Aviva Investors fund management businesses and other fund management operations within the Group that arise from the provision of fund management services to our Life businesses.

These results are included within the Life MCEV operating earnings.

F6 - Exceptional items and integration and restructuring costs

Exceptional items are those items that, in the Directors' view, are required to be separately disclosed by virtue of their nature or incidence to enable a full understanding of the Group's financial performance. There were no exceptional items during the first half of 2013 (HY12: nil; FY12: £51 million). For FY12 this related to pension regulation changes in Turkey and Poland.

Integration and restructuring costs for continuing business at HY13 were £163 million (HY12: £185 million; FY12: £464 million) and mainly include expenses associated with the Group's transformation programme. Compared with the prior period, integration and restructuring costs reduced by 10% mainly due to transformation activity in Ireland's general insurance business during the first half of 2012 which was not repeated in 2013 and a reduction in Solvency II implementation costs to £43 million (HY12: £71 million; FY12: £95 million), as the project moves towards completion.

1 The analysis between the Group's and non-controlling interests' share of the additional value of in-force long-term business is as follows:

	6 months 2013 £m	Full Year 2012 £m	Movement in year £m
Group's share included in shareholders' funds	4,818	4,734	84
Non-controlling interests' share	516	640	(124)
Movement in AFS securities	(95)	(504)	409
Additional value in-force long-term business	5,239	4,870	369

As at 6 months 2012, the additional value in force of long-term business was £1,064 million, comprising Group's share included in shareholder funds of £1,203 million, non-controlling interests' share of £309 million and movement in AFS securities of £(448) million.

2 Analysis of net assets on an MCEV basis is made up as follows:

	6 months 2013 £m	6 months 2012 £m	Full Year 2012 £m

3 Goodwill and intangible assets includes amounts related to associated undertakings and joint ventures and are after adjustments reflected in the additional value of in-force long-term business in the consolidated statement of financial position. In HY13 there is an adjustment to impair goodwill and intangibles by a further £13 million compared to IFRS (HY12: nil; FY12 £94 million). In aggregate, the goodwill and intangibles on an MCEV basis is £113 million (HY12: £nil; FY12: £94 million) lower than on an IFRS basis, allowing for exchange rate movements.

4 The value of the Aviva Staff Pension Scheme surplus has been notionally allocated between segments, based on current funding and, within the long-term business net assets on an MCEV basis, the Life proportion has been included. The pension fund surplus notionally allocated to long-term business is net of the agreed funding borne by the UK with-profit funds.

F9 - 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 or more frequently (new business) and operating (demographic and expenses) assumptions as at the end of the period.

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.

F10 - Present value of life new business premiums

The tables below set out the present value of new business premiums (PVNBP) written by the life and related businesses, gross of tax and non-controlling interests. The PVNBP calculation is equal to total single premium sales received in the period plus the discounted value of regular premiums expected to be received over the term of the new contracts, and is expressed at the point
of sale.

The premium volumes and projection assumptions used to calculate the present value of regular premiums for each product

are the same as those used to calculate the value of new business, so the components of the new business margin are on a

consistent basis.

The weighted average capitalisation factor (WACF) is the multiple of the annualised regular premium which gives the present value at point of sale of the regular premiums.

F11 - Geographical analysis of value of new business

The tables below set out the present value of new business premiums (PVNBP) written by the life and related businesses, the value of the new business and the resulting margin, firstly gross and then net of tax and non-controlling interests. The value generated by new business written during the period is the present value of the projected stream of after-tax distributable profit from that business, including expected profit between point of sale and the valuation date. It reflects the additional value to shareholders created through the activity of writing new business including the impacts of interactions between in force and new business with the exception of tax as noted in the basis of preparation. The value of new business has been calculated using economic assumption at the point of sale which has been implemented with the assumptions being taken as those appropriate to the start of each quarter. For contracts that are re-priced more frequently, weekly or monthly economic assumptions have been used. The operating assumptions are consistent with those used to determine the embedded value. The value of new business is shown after the effect of the frictional costs of holding required capital, and after the effect of the costs of residual non-hedgeable risks on the same basis as for the in-force covered business.

4 Aviva USA's holding company debt amounting to £708 million at 31 December 2012 has been included within non-covered business.

The required capital across our life businesses varies between 100% and 222% of EU minimum or equivalent (100% to 325% at HY12; 100% to 325% at FY12). The figures have changed since FY12 given that the US is no longer included in covered business. The weighted average level of required capital for our life business expressed as a percentage of the EU minimum (or equivalent) solvency margin has decreased to 117% (HY12: 138%; FY12: 134%). 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 2013 the aggregate regulatory requirements based on the EU minimum test amounted to £5.4 billion (HY12: £5.8 billion; FY12: £5.8 billion). At this date, the actual net worth held in our long-term business, was £7.7 billion (HY12: £9.1 billion; FY12: £9.9 billion) which represents 143% (HY12: 157%; FY12: 170%) of these minimum requirements.

The removal of the United States from covered business as set out in F1 Basis of Preparation has reduced the total risk allowances. Excluding the United States, relative to FY12:

n Frictional costs have become more negative by £39 million due to economic movements in France.

n The allowance for non-hedgeable risks has become less negative by £32 million, primarily in Poland, due to increases in risk-free rates, and Spain, due to the sale of Aseval, offset by results in France caused by exchange rate movements.

n The Time Value of Options and Guarantees has become less negative by £20 million primarily due to management actions in France and Italy and favourable economics, offset by exchange rate impacts.

F16 - Implied discount rates (IDR)

In the valuation of a block of business, the IDR 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.

F18 - 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 2013	30 June 2012	Full Year 2012	Full Year 2011

Expense inflation	n/a	2.0%	2.0%	2.0%

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:

	New business						Embedded value
	2Q 2013	1Q 2013	4Q 2012	3Q 2012	2Q 2012	1Q 2012	30 June 2013	30 June 2012	Full Year 2012

US deferred annuities and all other contracts	n/a	n/a	0.70%	0.81%	0.84%	1.07%	n/a	0.99%	0.77%

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 and adopted in the Solvency II Fifth Quantitative Impact Study (QIS5).

Page 139

F18 - Principal assumptions continued

(a) Economic assumptions - Deterministic calculations continued

The formula is:

United Kingdom/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 (15% reduction to the market level liquidity premium). There has been no change to the types of contracts to which a liquidity premium is applied, and it is applied to all components of the MCEV with the exception of the adjustment for the "look-through" into service company expenses.

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

F1 - 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.

1 Current tax legislation and rates have been assumed to continue unaltered except where changes in future tax rates have been substantively enacted with the exception of the United Kingdom as set out below.

2 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.

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

4 This is the aggregate required capital for in force business in Spain. The increase in 2012 and 2013 reflects the current economic environment. New business metrics continue to use management target levels of required capital (119%-138% of EU minimum), which better reflects the capital requirements of the new business.

Legislation has been substantively enacted in July 2013 to reduce the main rate of UK Corporation tax to 21% from 1 April 2014, with a further reduction to 20% from 1 April 2015. This reduction to 20% is considered a known future change for MCEV purposes and has been reflected in the Group's MCEV net assets as at 30 June 2013.

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 'Non-economic assumptions'.

Model - United Kingdom and United States

Swap rates are generated by a model, the LIBOR Market Model Plus (LMM+), which projects a full swap curve at monthly intervals.

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. In the case of the United States, an adjustment is made to the starting reference rate as described above. After making this adjustment the interest rate model is calibrated to the swaption implied volatilities supplied by 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 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. 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.

The model also generates property total returns and real yield curves, which are significant asset classes for the UK only. In the absence of liquid market data, the property volatilities are based on historic data.

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

Model - Europe and Asia

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.

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 France and the US, 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 2013 (30 June 2012: 15%; 31 December 2012: 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,

for example 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, that is, 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 that certain operations have been sold, the Aviva Ireland and Aviva Spain demographic and expense assumptions have continued to be set assuming the businesses do not incur loss of economies of scale, in advance of the
annual review.

In 2010, a test case was taken to the European Court of Justice to rule on the current law and practice whereby insurers may take into account a person's gender in the assessment of risk and consequently the pricing of insurance products. The ruling was issued on 1 March 2011 and required gender equality for pricing from 21 December 2012. The impact of the ruling on the Group's MCEV net assets in our UK and European businesses is not considered to be material.

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.

Poland Pensions potential legislation change

On 26 June 2013, the Polish ministers of Finance and Labour announced the outcome of the review of the Pillar II Pensions system (OFE), presenting three preferred options. An initial consultation period of 30 days has been announced, following which proposed legislation would be presented to Parliament. Finally, Presidential approval is required. It is expected that this process will complete in the second half of 2013 but the eventual outcome is uncertain. The expected outcome of each of the options announced is to substantially reduce the value in force of the Poland Pensions business, which is currently around £500 million. However the range of potential outcomes and the related level of uncertainty means that it is currently not possible to produce a reliable estimate of the impact.

F18 - Principal assumptions continued

Non-hedgeable risk

For the balance sheet and operating profit, a charge of 3.6% (HY 2012: 3.3%; FY 2012: 3.6%) 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 increase in the charge since HY 2012 results from a reassessment of the group diversification benefit.

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 including allowance for management actions consistent with the base MCEV. 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.

Other

It has been assumed that there will be no changes to the methods and bases used to calculate the statutory technical provisions and current surrender values, except where driven by varying future investment conditions under stochastic economic scenarios.

(d) Held for sale operations

Certain life covered operations are classified as held for sale, consistent with the IFRS classification.

US long term business

On 21 December 2012 the Group announced that it had agreed to sell the US life operations, consisting of Aviva Life and Annuity Company and the associated internal asset management operations of Aviva Investors North America, Inc, to Athene Holding Ltd for consideration of £1.0 billion including the shareholder loan (£1.1 billion including repayment of external loan) and these operations have been classified as held for sale. There is uncertainty in the ultimate consideration which depends on the development of statutory surplus between the announcement of sale and ultimate completion date. The transaction is expected to complete in 2013. Following classification as held for sale, US Life segment was remeasured to fair value less costs to sell resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 31 December 2012 of £1,095 million, and from 1 January 2013 is no longer included within the covered business. Subsequent remeasurement has changed the company value on the Group MCEV balance sheet from £367 million to £523 million. Please refer to note B4 for details of how this remeasurement is recognised in the income statement and in other comprehensive income.

Spanish long-term business - Aseval

On 18 December 2012 Aviva reached a settlement with Bankia S.A. ("Bankia") to transfer the Group's entire holding in Aseval Aseguradora Valenciana, Sociedad Anónima de Seguros y Reaseguros ("Aseval"), a Spanish life assurance company, to Bankia and Aseval was classified as held for sale. Following classification as held for sale, Aseval, included within the 'Europe' operating segment, was remeasured to fair value less costs to sell resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 31 December 2012 of £127 million. The transfer completed on 24 April 2013 with cash consideration of £502 million and profit on disposal of £39 million.

Irish long-term business - Ark Life

Our Irish long-term business is carried out through a subsidiary, Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited ("ALHI"), which is 75% owned by Aviva and 25% owned by Allied Irish Bank ("AIB"). ALHI holds four subsidiaries, one of which is Ark Life Assurance Company Limited ("Ark Life") which carries out bancassurance business via a distribution agreement with AIB. The original distribution agreement was renewable in 2011 but, on 15 December 2011, AIB notified the Group that they did not wish to renew it and the existing shareholders' agreement governing ALHI was terminated.

The termination of this agreement triggered the ability for both parties to exercise put and call options that will result in the unwind of the original structure such that the Ark Life business returns 100% to AIB and the Group will purchase the 25% minority stake in ALHI. The formal exercise of these options was approved on 17 January 2012 and, as a result, the Ark Life business became held for sale on that date. Following classification as held for sale, Ireland, included within the 'United Kingdom & Ireland' operating segment, was remeasured to fair value less costs to sell resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 31 December 2012 of £20 million. The transaction completed on 8 March 2013 with cash consideration of £117 million and profit on disposal of £90 million.

Malaysian long-term business

During 2012, the Group's Malaysian joint ventures, CIMB Aviva Assurance Berhad and CIMB Aviva Takaful Berhad, were classified as held for sale following the decision of management to seek to dispose of the business. On 17 January 2013 agreement was reached to sell Aviva's interests in these businesses to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. Following classification as held for sale, these businesses, included within the 'Asia' operating segment, were remeasured to fair value less costs to sell resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 31 December 2012 of £28 million. The transaction completed on 12 April 2013 with cash consideration of £153 million and profit on disposal of £6 million.

Italian long - term business - Eurovita

During the period the Italian long-term business Eurovita Assicurazioni S.p.A ("Eurovita") was classified as held for sale, as a result of management determining that the value of this business will principally be recovered through sale. Following classification as held for sale, Eurovita, included within the "Europe" operating segment, was remeasured to fair value less cost to sell resulting in an increase to the closing MCEV at 30 June 2013 of £48 million.

Other held for sale operations

During the year the Group entered into negotiations to dispose of Aviva Russia. On 27 February 2013 the Group announced the sale of the business to Blagosostoyanie. This business is included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2012 at its closing MCEV. The transaction completed on 8 April 2013 for a net consideration of £30 million and a loss on disposal of £2 million.

The sale of our Romania pensions business, which was classified as held for sale in 2012, completed on 7 May 2013, with a profit on disposal of £1 million. This business is included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2012 at its closing MCEV.

During 2010, the Group's Taiwan joint venture, First-Aviva Life Insurance Co., Ltd., was classified as held for sale following the decision of management to seek to dispose of the business. A sale of this business was not completed in 2012 and management have reviewed its classification as held for sale and determined that the classification remains appropriate. The disposal is expected to be completed within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As the expected sale proceeds are not known, this business is included in the consolidated statement of financial position at its closing MCEV.

(e) Other assumptions

Valuation of debt

Borrowings in the MCEV consolidated statement of financial position are valued on an IFRS basis, consistent with the primary financial statements. At 30 June 2013 the market value of the Group's external debt, subordinated debt, preference shares including General Accident plc preference shares of £250 million (classified as non-controlling interests) and direct capital instrument was £7,499 million (30 June 2012: £5,901 million; 31 December 2012: £7,260 million).

Exchange rates

The Group's principal overseas operations during the period were located within the Eurozone, US (for comparative periods) and Poland. The results and cash flows of these operations have been translated into sterling at the average rates for the period and the assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rates as follows:

F19 - 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 with a floor of 0%, 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% multiplicative increase in equity, property 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. Own sovereign debt is excluded from credit spread sensitivities.

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.

No sensitivities have been included for held for sale operations, reflecting that these operations are stated at expected fair value less cost to sell.

(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.

No sensitivities have been included for held for sale operations, reflecting that these operations are stated at expected fair value less cost to sell.

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 with the exception of stating held for sale operations at their expected fair value, as represented by expected sales proceeds, less cost to sell 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.

Information on the current directors responsible for providing this statement can be found on pages 80 to 82 of Aviva plc's 2012 Annual Report and Accounts and on the company's website http://www.aviva.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/board-of-directors/

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF AVIVA plc - MCEV

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the Consolidated MCEV financial statements in the half year report for the six months ended 30 June 2013, which comprises the Consolidated income statement - MCEV basis, Earnings per share - MCEV basis, the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income - MCEV basis, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity - MCEV basis, the 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. We have read the other information contained in the half year report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Consolidated MCEV financial statements.

Directors' responsibilities

The Consolidated MCEV financial statements in the half year report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Consolidated MCEV financial statements in the half year report in accordance with the CFO Forum Principles and the Basis of Preparation set out on pages 117 to 121.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the Consolidated MCEV financial statements in the half year report based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company in accordance with our engagement letter dated 7 May 2013 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.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion on the Consolidated MCEV financial statements

As explained in the Basis of Preparation to the Consolidated MCEV financial statements, the net assets of the held for sale operations have been stated at their expected fair value less costs to sell because the directors believe this to be a better assessment of the value to shareholders' from these operations. By stating the held for sale operations at a value in excess of their MCEV the Consolidated MCEV financial statements do not comply with the CFO Forum Principles. It is not practicable for us to quantify the effect of the non-compliance.

Qualified Conclusion on the Consolidated MCEV financial statements

Based on our review, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Consolidated MCEV financial statements in the half year report for the six months ended 30 June 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the CFO Forum Principles and the Basis of Preparation set out on pages 117 to 121.
