A1 - Basis of preparation

(a)     The condensed financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2009 have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU). These include IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, which specifically addresses the contents of interim condensed financial statements. The results apply the accounting policies set out in Aviva plc's 2008 Annual Report and Accounts, except as below.

    During 2007 and 2008, the IASB issued IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements : A Revised Presentation, and amendments to IFRS 1, First Time Adoption of IFRS, IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment, IAS 23, Borrowing Costs, IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and IAS 32, Financial Instruments : Presentation, and the results of its annual improvements project. IFRIC interpretation 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, and IFRIC interpretation 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation have also been endorsed by the EU. These are all applicable for the current accounting period and are now reflected in the group's financial reporting, with no material impact.

    The results for the six months to 30 June 2009 and 2008 are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditor, Ernst & Young LLP. The interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The results for the full year 2008 have been taken from the group's 2008 Annual Report and Accounts and do not in themselves constitute statutory accounts. The auditor has reported on the 2008 financial statements and the report was unqualified and did not contain a Statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The group's 2008 Report and Accounts have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

    After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group as a whole have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

(b)    Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are stated in sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts shown in the financial statements are in millions of pounds sterling (£m). As supplementary information, consolidated financial information is also presented in euros.

(c)    Restatement of prior period figures

    The following restatements were actioned in the group's 2008 financial statements. As these restatements took place in the second half of the year, the comparative figures for the six months to 30 June 2008 are now restated in this report. 

Consolidation of managed funds

    The group manages a number of specialised investment vehicles around the world, in which our insurance and investment funds have invested. The group's percentage ownership in these vehicles can fluctuate from day to day according to the group's and third party participation in them, and control is determined based on an analysis of the guidance in IAS 27. During 2008, we identified that certain such vehicles required consolidation in accordance with IAS 27 which therefore results in grossing up assets and liabilities for the effect of the third party participation.

    The impact on the income statement for the six month period to 30 June 2008 has been to restate net investment income and fee and commission expense, reducing both by £57 million. None of these adjustments has any impact on profit for the period, operating profit, earnings per share or retained earnings for the six month period to 30 June 2008.

    In addition, certain property investment vehicles, which were consolidated in accordance with IAS 27, required restatement in the period ended 30 June 2008 to reanalyse amounts previously classified as minority interests to net asset value attributable to unit holders. This change recognises that the property investment vehicles are unit trusts and, as a result, the third party holding should have been recognised as a liability rather than as a non-controlling interest. Prior period comparatives have been restated with a reduction in minority interests and an increase in amounts due to unit holders of £838 million at 30 June 2008.

Restatement for the change in accounting policy for latent reserves 

    As part of the Company's aim to continuously improve the relevance and reliability of its external financial reporting, Aviva undertook a review of the group's General Insurance Reserving Policy in 2008.

    As part of this review, the group concluded that estimating our latent claim provisions on an undiscounted basis, and discounting back to current values, represented an improvement to the existing estimation technique. This approach is in line with best practice for long-term liabilities and moves the measurement of latent claims onto a more economic basis, consistent with our internal model for economic capital and the measurement model being proposed for both IFRS Phase II and Solvency II. This approach also improves consistency with the reporting of other long-tail classes of business which are already being discounted, namely certain London Market latent claims and our Dutch Permanent Health and Injury Business.

    The application of discounting to our latent claims reserves represents a change in accounting policy and has therefore been applied retrospectively. The cumulative impact of discounting on our opening reserves as at 1 January 2008 is to reduce insurance liabilities by £201 million and reinsurance assets by £55 million, and to increase retained earnings by £105 million. These have been treated as prior year adjustments in these financial statements.

Treatment of shares held by employee trusts

Employee share trusts have purchased the Company's shares in the market to satisfy awards under various share plans. At 30 June 2008, these trusts held shares with a cost of £10 million which, on materiality grounds, were included within other financial assets rather than being shown as a deduction from total shareholders' equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. In view of the Company's current policy of purchasing shares in the market rather than issuing new shares, which will lead to larger balances on this account, we have restated the 30 June 2008 figures accordingly.

A2 - 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 the period and the assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rates as follows:

A3 - Subsidiaries

(a) Acquisitions

There were no material acquisitions in the six months ended 30 June 2009.

(i)    Other goodwill arising

As disclosed in the 2008 financial statements, on 30 June 2008 the Group acquired Swiss Life Belgium ('SLB'). At 30 June 2009, the fair values of the assets and liabilities have been updated from their provisional values to reflect a decrease in the value of acquired inforce (AVIF). This has given rise to an increase of goodwill of €72 million (£64 million) to €132 million (£118 million).

(iii) Dutch health insurance business

On 1 January 2009, the group's Dutch subsidiary, Delta Lloyd Group ('DL'), sold its health insurance business to OWM CZ Groep Zorgverkeraar UA ('CZ'), a mutual health insurer, for £231 million, realising a profit of £20 million. Under the terms of the agreement, CZ purchased the DL health insurance business and took on its underwriting risk and policy administration. DL continues to market and distribute health insurance products from CZ to its existing customers and continues to provide asset management for the transferred business. DL also has exclusive rights to market life, general insurance and income protection products to CZ's customers. 

(iv) UK non-core operations 

On 11 February 2009, the group sold The British School of Motoring Limited and its subsidiaries to Arques Consulting GmbH for a consideration of £4 million. The resultant loss on disposal of £9 million was provided for in the 2008 financial statements.

As part of the restructuring of the UK businesses, the UK data centres, which were owned and managed by Aviva Central Services UK Limited, were classified as held for sale at 31 December 2008 at their fair value of £102 million. In remeasuring the data centres at their fair value at 30 June 2009, a reversal of an impairment charge of £4 million has been recognised in the income statement. The sale was completed on 1 July 2009 at the fair value above. 

(ii) Assets of operations classified as held for sale

On 21 June 2009, the group announced the sale of its Australian life and pensions business and wealth management platform to National Australia Bank for cash of A$825 million (£403 million), plus an adjustment to reflect the performance of the businesses from 31 December 2008 to the date of completion forecast to be A$60 million (£30 million). In addition, the group will receive dividends of A$40 million (£20 million). The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete later in 2009. The relevant assets and liabilities of these businesses have been classified as held for sale, at their carrying values, in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2009 and are as follows:

The group has hedged its exposure to A$822 million of the sale proceeds through the purchase of foreign currency forward contracts.

The operations disclosed as held for sale at 31 December 2008 comprised the Dutch health insurance business and certain UK non-core operations, both of which were sold in the six month period ended 30 June 2009. Details are given in section (b) above. Operations disclosed as held for sale at 30 June 2008 comprised these same businesses, certain other UK non-core operations which were sold in the second half of 2008, and the Dutch bancassurance business with ABN AMRO. Following the change in control of ABN AMRO Bank Netherlands, we considered at that time that the existing agreement would be terminated but, in December 2008, both parties agreed that continuation of the partnership was the preferred and most sustainable option.

A4 - Segmental information

(a) Operating segments 

The group has determined its operating segments along regional lines. These reflect the management structure whereby a member of the Executive Management team is accountable to the Group Chief Executive for the operating segment for which they are responsible. The activities of each operating segment are described below:

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom comprises two operating segments - UK Life and UK General Insurance (UK GI). The principal activities of UK Life are life insurance, long-term health and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business, whilst UK GI provides insurance cover to individuals and to small and medium-sized businesses, for risks associated mainly with motor vehicles, property and liability, such as employers' liability and professional indemnity liability, and medical expenses. UK GI also includes the RAC motor recovery business, the group reinsurance result and the results of run off business.

Europe

Activities reported in the Europe operating segment exclude operations in the UK and include those in Russia and Turkey. Principal activities are long-term business in France, the NetherlandsIrelandItalyPoland and Spain, and general insurance in France, the NetherlandsIreland and Italy, as well as the fund management activity of Delta Lloyd.

North America

Our activities in North America principally comprise our long-term business operations in the USA and general insurance business operations in Canada.

Asia Pacific

Our activities in Asia Pacific principally comprise our long-term business operations in AustraliaChinaIndiaSingaporeHong KongSri LankaTaiwanMalaysia, and South Korea.

Aviva Investors

Aviva Investors operates in most of the regions in which the group operates, in particular the UKFrance, the United States and Canada and other international businesses, managing policyholders' and shareholders' invested funds, providing investment management services for institutional pension fund mandates and managing a range of retail investment products, including investment funds, unit trusts, OEICs and ISAs. Fund management activities of Delta Lloyd are included in the Europe operating segment. 

Other group activities

Investment return on centrally held assets and head office expenses, such as group treasury and finance functions, together with certain taxes and financing costs arising on central borrowings are included in 'Other group activities'. Similarly, central core structural borrowings and certain tax balances are included in 'Other group activities' in the segmental balance sheet. Also included here are consolidation and elimination adjustments.

Measurement basis

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the group as a whole. Any transactions between the business segments are on normal commercial terms and market conditions. The group evaluates performance of operating segments on the basis of: 

(i)     profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders.

(ii)     profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders, adjusted for non-operating items outside the segment management's control, including investment market performance and fiscal policy changes.

Subsequent to 30 June 2009, the directors proposed an interim dividend for 2009 of 9.0 pence per ordinary share (six months to 30 June 2008: 13.09 pence), amounting to £247 million (six months to 30 June 2008: £348 million) in total. The dividend will be paid on 17 November 2009 and will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2009.

Interest on the direct capital instrument issued in November 2004 is treated as an appropriation of retained profits and, accordingly, it is accounted for when paid. Tax relief is obtained at a rate of 28.0% (200828.5%).

The impact of interest rates for long-term business relates primarily to the UKIreland and the Netherlands, driven by the market level of risk-free rates. Higher valuation interest rates in 2009 had the effect of reducing liabilities for traditional business and hence a positive impact on profit. This follows a reduction in market interest rates in 2008 which had the reverse effect. The overall impact on profit also depends on movements in the value of assets backing the liabilities, which is not included in this disclosure.

A17 - Risk management

Risk management

As a global company, we face a large and diverse number of risks. Each of these risks has the potential to impact our financial performance or hinder the achievement of our strategic objectives. 

To ensure that risks are effectively identified and assessed and that appropriate controls and responses are in place, the Chief Risk Officer co-ordinates all group-wide risk management activities supported by local chief risk officers in each of our regions. A full description of our approach and management of risks is set out in the 2008 Annual Report and Accounts.

In accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Directive (DTR 4.2.7) we provide an update here on the material risks and uncertainties facing the group for the next six months.

Market risk 

The world-wide economic backdrop to this half year report remains negative. Even though some indicators are beginning to show a positive trend there is a risk that recovery could be delayed, or in a worst case reverse. As a result we expect to continue to see heightened levels of market volatility in respect of interest rates, asset values and foreign exchange rates.

Aviva regularly monitors its investment holdings and asset-liability matching and we continue to explore new ways of mitigating the risks we are exposed to. We actively manage our equity exposures and have purchased additional protection in the half year to June 2009. Equity markets have demonstrated significant liquidity despite adverse economic conditions. We consider equity hedging to continue to be appropriate to protect the Group's statement of financial position against a general decline in the economic position.

Credit risk 

Credit spreads have reduced in recent months reflecting some return of confidence to the market and the removal of some forms of hybrid capital from the market indices. However default experience will tend to lag the financial markets. 

Aviva has taken a prudent approach to its overall credit risk exposure including a reduction in some counter party credit limits and through increased monitoring of exposures. A new credit risk management information system has been introduced which improves the timeliness of information to support the management and optimisation of our credit risk.  

Liquidity risk 

We need to ensure that we maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet our cash flow obligations as they fall due. All our businesses identify their sources of liquidity risk and monitor the potential exposures.

At a group level we maintain a prudent level of liquidity by maintaining a buffer of liquid assets to cover unforeseen circumstances. In addition, the group maintains significant committed undrawn borrowing facilities from a range of leading international banks.

Foreign exchange risk 

As an international business we are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates; these affect the value of shareholder funds which are expressed in sterling. Generally we don't hedge these currency risks as profits are retained to support growth in the business units. However significant declared dividends from overseas businesses or other material transaction exposure risks such as mergers and acquisitions are hedged.

We centrally monitor against limits the amount of foreign exchange risk to our group regulatory capital positions. We use currency borrowings and derivatives when necessary to keep currency exposures within these limits.

Insurance risk

We continue to monitor our insurance risks, particularly those most affected by the economic crisis, such as customer retention, creditor insurance and general insurance claims. Where appropriate we take steps to address emerging trends via underwriting or rating changes in order to ensure we deliver the right level of profit from our insurance business.

A17 - Risk management continued

Regulatory risk  

The financial crisis is driving increased regulatory scrutiny of the group's business; however we continue to maintain constructive relationships with our regulators around the globe. We face substantial change in the regulatory framework driven by the implementation of the Solvency II Directive in Europe as well as national, European and global regulatory reform proposals in response to the financial crisis. 

We are actively involved in the consultation exercises on these new regulatory proposals both through direct lobbying activity and via influencing the input of UK, European and international bodies representing the financial services industry. In this way we are seeking to ensure effective but proportionate regulation is applied.

Regulatory changes will also influence future distribution opportunities for our products and services. In the USA, there is a significant likelihood that distribution of equity indexed annuity products will be subject to regulation by the SEC rather than by state insurance departments by 2011. In the UK, the Retail Distribution Review, which is scheduled for implementation in 2012, is expected to significantly change the landscape for the distribution of life and pensions contracts. We continue to influence these developments and prepare for the business changes each will necessitate.

Other risks 

We have noted no material changes to the other risks identified in the 2008 Annual Report and Accounts.

A18 - Subsequent events

At the Board meeting on 5th of August, the Directors approved the commencement of a process to initiate an initial public offering for a minority stake in the Delta Lloyd Group.

The above tables are based on the IFRS income statement and statement of financial positiont for the long-term business segment: average assets is the arithmetic average of the opening and closing value of assets, together with non-consolidated funds under management and excluding certain non-financial assets; excluded assets are goodwill, acquired value of in-force business (AVIF) and other intangibles, reinsurance assets, deferred acquisition costs and other assets, and prepayments and accrued income.

The total operating profit margin on assets for the 2009 half year was 32 bps (six months to 30 June 2008: 34 bps). The slight reduction in margin reflects the lower operating profit and higher average assets under management. On an annualised basis this equates to 64 bps, an increase of 5 bps on the 2008 full year margin of 59 bps. The margin fell in all regions except for Asia Pacific, which benefited from the effect of reserving changes in Singapore.

For the United Kingdom business, the operating profit margin reduced to 33 bps from 35 bps in the prior period. The United Kingdom margin on assets is a blended figure combining our participating (with-profits) and non-profit business. The reduced overall margin reflects the lower with-profits result due to lower special distribution bonus and other shareholder transfers, while the non-profit result improved.

The operating profit margin for the Europe region was 32 bps compared to 36 bps for the prior period.

The margin in France was adversely affected by a lower result from distribution companies due to reduced activity. In Italy, new business strain increased from changes in business mix. High margins on protection business portfolios were maintained in Poland and Spain, with lower investment margins in Spain. There was an improvement in margins for the newer smaller operations in Europe.

In the Netherlands, improved new business strain on lower volumes was offset by a lower expected return on shareholders' funds.

The North America operating margin reduced to 9 bps from 17 bps in the prior period, with adverse economic conditions leading to investment margin compression and associated higher DAC amortisation.

2.    Cost savings targets brought forward represent commitments made in prior years that are due to be delivered in 2009 or future periods. Cost savings targets brought forward were measured at the value of the relevant recurring costs in the period ended 30 June 2009. All cost saving targets carried forward have been restated to the value of the relevant recurring costs in the period ended 30 June 2009. For half year 2009, this reflects the effect of exchange rates on European targets.

3.    Cost savings ''achieved'' are the annualised, recurring costs delivered in the period ended 30 June 2009

4.    Initial costs to deliver cost savings targets are the total one-off initial costs that will be required to complete and deliver announced cost savings programmes. They are measured at the real value of the initial costs expected to be incurred.

Independent review report to Aviva plc 


Introduction 

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes A1 to A18 on pages 49 to 84. Our review did not extend to the information disclosed in notes A19 to A21. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. 

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standards 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 (ISRE 2410). To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities 

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. 

As disclosed in note A1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union. 

Our Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. 

Scope of Review 

We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410. 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 set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
