This supplementary operating profit information provides further analysis of the results reported under IFRS and we
believe gives shareholders a better understanding of the underlying performance of the business.
For UK life and pensions business, operating profit in a full year represents:
• the distribution of profit relating to non profit and shareholder net worth, grossed up for tax. The current
distribution comprises;
- 7% of the embedded value of the shareholder retained capital (SRC) and Sub-fund (shareholder net worth - SNW)
adjusted to remove the effect of the contingent loan (between SRC and LGPL) and the SNW of LGPL; and
- 5% of the embedded value of the non profit business adjusted to remove the effect of the contingent loan between
SRC and LGPL;
• the shareholders' share of the with-profits surplus recognised in the year, grossed up for tax;
• the subordinated debt interest on the intra-group subordinated debt included within the SRC, until it was repaid in
December 2006.
An analysis of the distribution of profit relating to non profit and SNW is included in Note 5.04(a).
Operating profit includes a longer term investment return on shareholders', General insurance and Netherlands' funds
held outside a long term fund. It excludes investment variances and the contribution from UK non profit business.
The income statement comprises returns to shareholders and excludes policyholders' returns.

=======================================================================================================================
Only the element of total tax attributable to equity holders' profit is shown explicitly in the analysis above; the tax
attributable to policyholder returns is included within expenses in the operating profit income statement.
In accordance with the Group's policy for attributing tax to equity holders and policyholders, the IFRS profit before
equity holder tax from the net capital released from UK non profit business is determined by grossing up after tax
amounts at the standard rate of UK corporation tax (30%). In the period to 30 June 2007, there was no current or
deferred tax charge on these profits.
No deferred tax is provided at the incremental rate on the undeclared surplus in the Society LTF represented by the
SRC on the grounds that, at the balance sheet date, no obligation to make a declaration of surplus actually exists and
there is no expectation that such a declaration will occur. The maximum amount of incremental tax which would
crystallise on such a declaration of surplus is estimated to be £295m (H1 06: £475m; FY 06: £717m). The reduction is
due to new tax legislation in the Finance Act 2007. This would charge the additional taxable profit arising from a
release of SRC, over the existing tax base, at the current corporation tax rate (30%), but would permit the excess to
be carried forward for relief in future years at the policyholders' rate (20%).

callable on 2 May 2017 and every three months thereafter. If not called, the coupon from 2 May 2017 will be reset to

Notes to the Financial Statements
---------------------------------
4.18 Pension cost
-------------------
The Legal & General Group UK Pension and Assurance Fund and the Legal & General Group UK Senior Pension Scheme are
defined benefit pension arrangements and account for all UK and the majority of worldwide assets of, and contributions
to, such arrangements. At 30 June 2007, the combined after tax deficit arising from these arrangements (net of annuity
obligations insured by Society) has been estimated at £75m (H1 06: £79m; FY 06: £122m). These amounts have been
recognised in the financial statements with £45m charged against shareholder equity (H1 06: £49m; FY 06: £72m) and
£30m against unallocated divisible surplus (H1 06: £30m; FY 06: £50m).
4.19 Contingent liabilities, guarantees and indemnities
---------------------------------------------------------
Provision for the liabilities arising under contracts with policyholders is based on certain assumptions. The variance
of actual experience from that assumed may result in such liabilities differing from the provisions made for them.
Liabilities may also arise in respect of claims relating to the interpretation of such contracts, or the circumstances
in which policyholders have entered into them (together in this paragraph 'liabilities'). The extent of such liabilities
is influenced by a number of factors including the actions and requirements of the FSA, by ombudsman rulings, by
industry compensation schemes and by court judgements. The continuing general profile and emphasis being given
by the FSA and other bodies to the suitability of the past sales of endowment policies in the context of some mortgage
transactions has led to the continuing receipt of claims from holders of endowment policies.
Various Group companies receive claims and become involved in actual or threatened litigation and regulatory issues from
time to time. Provision for liabilities continues to be made and is regularly reviewed. However, it is not possible to
predict, with certainty, the extent and the timing of the financial impact to which these claims, litigation or issues
may give rise. The relevant members of the Group nevertheless consider that each makes prudent provision, as and when
circumstances calling for such provision become clear, and that each has adequate capital and reserves to meet all
reasonably foreseeable eventualities.
In 1975 the Society was required by the Institute of London Underwriters (ILU) to execute the ILU form of guarantee in
respect of policies issued through the ILU's Policy Signing Office on behalf of NRG Victory Reinsurance Company Ltd
(Victory), a company which was then a subsidiary of the Society. In 1990, Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep Holding NV
(the assets and liabilities of which have since been assumed by Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep NV under a statutory
merger in the Netherlands) acquired Victory and provided an indemnity to the Society against any liability the Society
may have as a result of the ILU's requirement, and the ILU agreed that its requirement of the Society would not
apply to policies written or renewed after the acquisition. Whether the Society has any liability as a result of the
ILU's requirement and, if so, the amount of its potential liability is uncertain. The Society has made no payment or
provision in respect of this matter.
Group companies have given indemnities and guarantees, including interest rate guarantees, as a normal part of their
operating activities or in relation to capital market transactions.
