1. Basis of preparation - IFRS basis
(a) From 2005, all European Union listed companies were required to prepare consolidated financial statements using
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
and endorsed by the European Union. The results in this preliminary announcement have been prepared in accordance
with IFRS applicable at 31 December 2006 and have been taken from the Group's Annual Report and Accounts.
The preliminary announcement for the year ended 31 December 2006 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined
in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The results on an IFRS basis for the full years 2006 and 2005 have been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP. The auditors have reported on the 2005 and 2006 accounts and their reports were
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The Group's
2005 Report and Accounts have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
(b) In August 2005, the IASB issued IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and an amendment to IAS 1, Capital
Disclosures. Although their requirements are applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2007, the Group has decided to adopt IFRS 7 early and reflect its impact in the financial statements. The amendment
to IAS 1 brings the capital disclosures into line with those already required by FRS 27 and, although the Group
is not adopting it early, this is not expected to result in any material additional disclosures.
(c) 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 presentation 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.
(d) In accordance with Phase I IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, the Group has applied existing accounting practices for
insurance and participating investment contracts, modified as appropriate to comply with the IFRS framework and
applicable standards.
(e) The results of the Group's fund management business in the Netherlands were previously reported within the results
of our other operations but are now shown as part of our fund management operations. The result reclassified in
the year ended 31 December 2006 is £37 million (2005: £32 million). The related assets and liabilities reclassified
at 31 December 2006 are £63 million (31 December 2005: £54 million) and £18 million (31 December 2005: £15
million), respectively.
2. Exchange rates
The Group's principal overseas operations during the year were located within the Eurozone and the United States.
The euro rates employed in this announcement are an average rate of 1 euro = £0.68 (2005: 1 euro = £0.68) and a
closing rate of 1 euro = £0.67 (2005: 1 euro = £0.69).
The US dollar rates used for translation are an average of £1 = US$1.84 (2005: £1 = US$1.82) and a closing rate of
£1 = US$1.96 (2005: £1 = US$1.72).

3. Acquisitions
(a) Ark Life Assurance Company Limited
On 27 January 2006, Hibernian Life Holdings Limited (HLH), the parent company of Hibernian Life & Pensions Limited,
acquired all the shares of Ark Life Assurance Company Limited (Ark Life) from Allied Irish Banks plc (AIB) in exchange
for a 24.99% stake in the enlarged HLH and a balancing cash payment of €196 million (£134 million) which also reflects
the transfer of the management of Ark Life funds to Hibernian Investment Managers Limited, part of the Group's fund
management business. The final consideration has not yet been agreed with AIB but is expected to be finalised in 2007.
However, any adjustment to the above figures is not expected to be material. In addition, a further deferred cash
payment of up to €10 million (£7 million) is payable, subject to the fulfilment of certain performance criteria. The
results of Ark Life have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group with effect from 27
January 2006, and contributed £30 million to the consolidated EEV profit before tax and £40 million to the IFRS profit
before tax.
The transaction has been accounted for as the acquisition of 75.01% of Ark Life and the disposal of 24.99% of HLH. The
realised gain on disposal of the Group's 24.99% interest in HLH was £25 million on an EEV basis and £86 million on an
IFRS basis.
The Ark Life acquisition has given rise to goodwill on acquisition of £57 million, calculated as follows:

The value of the agreement to distribute through AIB's networks has been identified as a separate intangible asset and
valued by an independent third party at £45 million, using estimated post-tax cash flows and discount rates. It has
been assessed as having a life of 25 years and is being amortised over that period, with a corresponding release of
the applicable deferred tax provision.
The residual goodwill of £57 million represents future synergies expected to arise in the combined life operations.
The slight increase of £12 million in residual goodwill from the interim announcement reflects finalisation of values
of the assets and liabilities which have been amended in accordance with paragraph 62 of IFR3, Business Combinations.
As disclosed in the EEV section on page 29, the embedded value of the long-term business acquired was £310 million,
representing the net assets adjusted for other intangible assets net of tax.

(b) Eagle Insurance Company Limited
On 1 February 2006, the Group acquired a 51% interest in Eagle Insurance Limited (Eagle), the third largest insurer
in Sri Lanka, by buying a majority shareholding in Eagle's immediate holding company, NDB Finance Lanka (Pvt)
Limited. At the same time, Eagle entered into a 10-year bancassurance agreement with National Development Bank Limited
(NDB), Sri Lanka's biggest development bank and Eagle's other major shareholder. The cash consideration, including
purchase costs, was £15 million. The fair value of the Group's share of net assets acquired was £12 million including
intangibles of £2 million, giving rise to £3 million of goodwill on acquisition.
As disclosed in the EEV section on page 29, the embedded value of the long-term business acquired was £17 million,
representing the net assets adjusted for other intangible assets net of tax.
(c) Canadian Brokers
On 28 April 2006, the Group acquired a 20% holding in Dale-Parizeau L.M. Inc, a Canadian insurance broker, for a
consideration of £16 million including purchase costs. The allocation of the risks and rewards of ownership between
the Group and third party investors in the broker has led the Group to consolidate its results for the period since
acquisition to 31 December 2006. The fair value of the net assets acquired, including intangibles of £10 million, was
£9 million, giving rise to £7 million of goodwill on acquisition.
On 4 December 2006, the Group acquired a 20% holding in a second Canadian insurance broker, Morris & Mackenzie Inc
(M&M), for a consideration of £28 million including purchase costs. The allocation of the risks and rewards of
ownership between the Group and third party investors in the broker has led the Group to consolidate its results for
the period since acquisition to 31 December 2006. Due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the year end,
provisional fair values have been used and will be adjusted within 12 months. The provisional fair value of the net
assets acquired, including intangibles of £14 million, was £12 million, giving rise to £16 million of goodwill on
acquisition. On 31 December 2006, the Group completed the disposal of M&M's non-Quebec based operations for
£9 million. The sale did not give rise to any gain or loss. Net assets at disposal represented goodwill, intangible
assets and deferred tax liabilities.
(d) AmerUs Group Co.
On 15 November 2006, the Group acquired 100% of the common stock of AmerUs Group Co. (AmerUs) for US$69 in cash per
common share of AmerUs. AmerUs is a leading provider of equity-indexed life and annuity products to the United States
retirement and savings markets, and the acquisition establishes a leading presence for the Group in these selected
high-growth segments.
The total purchase price of US$3.1 billion (£1.7 billion) represents cash consideration for AmerUs shares and stock
options, and stock-based compensation vesting on change of control. The purchase consideration was partly financed by
a £903 million placing of the Company's ordinary shares, with the balance of funding being provided by internal
resources and external debt. The share placing was completed on 13 July 2006, with 129 million shares issued on 18
July, at £7 per share.
The issue of new shares in the company to fund the acquisition of AmerUs was effected by a share placing and attracted
merger relief under section 131 of the Companies Act 1985. The placing structure utilised attracted merger relief under
section 131 of the Companies Act 1985, resulting in a credit to the merger reserve of £871 million. Subsequent
internal transactions required to complete the placing structure have resulted in this part of the merger reserve being
realised. Consequently, a transfer of £871 million has been made from the merger reserve to retained earnings.
Expenses of £11 million have been charged to the share premium account.
The AmerUs acquisition has given rise to goodwill on acquisition of £669 million, calculated as follows:
Purchase cost:

Cash paid 1,669

The largest fair value adjustments above relate to the recognition of a value for the in-force business on insurance
and investment contracts acquired by the Group (the AVIF) and to a reduction in other assets. The AVIF adjustment of
£1,387 million represents the excess of the value of the acquired in-force life insurance contracts over their IFRS
net asset value, and is calculated as the difference between the acquired net tangible assets on an EEV value basis
and the same net assets on an IFRS basis. Deferred acquisition costs (DAC) totalling £1,297 million included in
other assets in the book value column above, are not recognised in the IFRS fair value balance sheet as they have no
fair value at acquisition. As DAC is reflected in the calculation of AVIF, its write-off in the fair value adjustments
is offset by the recognition of a fair value for the AVIF.
Other intangible assets of £291 million are represented by AmerUs' distribution channels and have been valued by an
independent third party, using estimated post-tax cash flows and discount rates. The distribution channels have been
assessed as having a life of between six and nine years and their value is being amortised over that period, with a
corresponding release of the applicable deferred tax provision.
The residual goodwill of £669 million represents future synergies expected to arise in the combined life operations,
the value of new business from new distribution channels and customers going forward, and the value of the
workforce and management, related know-how and other future business value not included in the intangibles and the AVIF.
As disclosed in the EEV section on page 29, the embedded value of the long-term business acquired was £1,107 million,
representing the net assets acquired, adjusted for other intangible assets net of tax and corporate debt.

(f) Other
In addition to the goodwill arising on the above acquisitions, the Group also made a number of smaller acquisitions
giving rise to additional goodwill of £9 million. Total goodwill arising in the year was £761 million.
On 1 January 2006, following the introduction of a new Health Insurance Act, a Netherlands subsidiary acquired 100%
of the share capital of O.W.M. Delta Lloyd and OHRA Zorgverzekeringen U.A. for nil consideration. Assets and
liabilities acquired amounted to £272 million and £258 million, respectively, giving rise to £14 million of negative
goodwill which has been recognised in the income statement.

Unaudited pro forma combined revenues and profit
Shown below are unaudited pro forma figures for the Group's combined revenues and profit as though the acquisition
date for all business combinations effected during the year had been 1 January 2006, after giving effect to purchase
accounting adjustments and the elimination of intercompany transactions. The pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of the combined results that would have been attained had the acquisitions taken place at 1
January 2006, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Of the above pre-tax profit, £83 million has arisen since acquisition. No adjustments have been made to the profit
figure above for any additional borrowing costs, integration costs or other synergies that might arise had the
acquisitions been completed at 1 January 2006.
(g) Non-adjusting post-balance sheet events
On 1 January 2007, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of the Eurolloyd companies (Eurolloyd Nederland BV and
Eurolloyd Belgie NV) for cash of £11 million. In view of the very recent timing of this transaction, it is currently
impractical to comply with the requirements of paragraph 67 of IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and to state with any
certainty the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, and therefore to estimate the goodwill arising on this
acquisition.
In addition to the above transaction, subsequent to year end, the Group has announced it will acquire two of the
units of the Malaysian business Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Berhad (BCHB) - 49% of each of a Life and a Takaful
business - for approximately £75 million. The transaction is subject to signature and regulatory approval but
completion is expected to occur by the second quarter of 2007.
On 8 February 2007, the Group announced that it planned to acquire 100% of the shares in Erasmus Groep BV in the
Netherlands. Erasmus writes both general insurance and long-term business and, at 31 December 2005, had gross assets of
£648 million and net assets of £29 million. The acquisition, when completed, will be effective from 1 January 2007,
subject to the approval of the Dutch regulator, the relevant works council and notification to the relevant
competition authorities.

======================================================================================================================
The tax credit on the profit on disposal in 2006 reflects the benefit of prior year tax credits against charges on
disposals in earlier years.
On an EEV basis, the profit on disposal before tax for 2006 falls to £161 million because, on that basis, the gain on
disposal in Ireland was £25 million (see note 3(a)). The EEV profit on disposal after tax for the same period was
£174 million. There is no difference between IFRS and EEV figures for the comparative period.
(a) Sale of RAC non-core businesses
During 2006, the Group completed the disposal of the Manufacturer Support Services (MSS), Lex Vehicle Leasing (LVL)
divisions and the Lex Brand, which had been acquired with the RAC Group in 2005. The decision to sell was part of the
Group's wider strategy to integrate RAC and exit non-core operations.

The net assets disposed of, which total £310 million, comprised investment in joint ventures of £239 million, tangible
assets of £102 million, other assets of £95 million and other liabilities of £126 million. The pension curtailment gain
arose from the remeasurement of pension liabilities in the RAC plc defined benefit pension scheme, following the MSS
and LVL disposals.
(i) Sale of MSS
The MSS disposal was completed in three stages during the first six months of 2006, following the disposals of certain
operational assets and liabilities of Hyundai Cars (UK) and the commercial fleet business of Lex Transfleet in 2005.
On 10 January 2006, the Group sold Hyundai Car Finance Limited, which provides vehicle instalment finance and leasing,
to Lloyds TSB. On 14 February 2006, the Group sold Lex Autologistics Limited, Lex Commercials Limited and associated
properties to Imperial Holdings. On 27 April 2006, the Group completed the sale of the remaining vehicle solutions
businesses, comprising Lex Transfleet Limited, Lex Defence Limited, Lex Defence Management Limited and RAC Software
Solutions Limited, to VT Group plc. Receipts from the completion of the disposal of the MSS division totalled £111
million, resulting in a profit of £12 million before tax.
In 2005, the Group sold certain operational assets and liabilities of Hyundai Cars (UK) and the commercial fleet
business of Lex Transfleet for total consideration of £139 million. The sale resulted in a profit of £5 million which
is included in the 2005 figures above.
Of the total consideration of £250 million received for MSS disposals in 2005 and 2006, £73 million was in respect of
liabilities to be settled by the Group.
(ii) Sale of LVL
On 31 May 2006, the sale of Aviva's 50% stake in Lex Vehicle Leasing (Holdings) Limited to HBOS plc was completed.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the change of control of RAC provided HBOS with the right to acquire
Aviva's interest in LVL which HBOS chose to exercise. The proceeds consisted of a net cash receipt of £227 million,
from which Aviva's estimated contribution of £16 million to the statutory debt funding of the RAC plc defined benefit
pension scheme had been deducted. The gross consideration was therefore £243 million. In addition to the disposal of
the investment in the joint venture of £239 million, HBOS will make an equivalent contribution to the statutory debt
funding of the defined benefit pension scheme estimated at £16 million. The sale resulted in a profit of £18 million
before tax. A further £3 million profit arose on the sale of the Lex brand.
(b) In July 2006, our French operation, Aviva France, sold its associate holding in ProCapital SA, an online brokerage
company, to Credit Mutuel for £98 million. The sale resulted in a profit on disposal of £79 million.
No other disposal is considered material for further disclosure.
5. Integration and restructuring costs
£246 million of integration and restructuring costs have been included in the results to 31 December 2006. £21 million
related to the restructuring of the combined Norwich Union Insurance and RAC businesses. This completes the integration
spend on the RAC business. £205 million relates to Norwich Union's restructuring to reduce duplication and improve
efficiency. The remainder relates to the integration of Ark Life into the Hibernian business and the integration
of AmerUs.
6. Operations classified as held for sale
There were no operations held for sale at 31 December 2006. The table below sets out the RAC businesses which were

the total actual investment return of £1,222 million (2005: £1,563 million) and the total longer-term investment
return of £1,073 million (2005: £1,046 million).
Actual income and longer-term investment return both contain the amortisation of the discount/premium arising on the
acquisition of fixed income securities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 52
9. Geographical analysis of general insurance and health (continued)
The longer-term investment return is calculated separately for each principal general insurance and health business
unit. In respect of equities and properties, the return is calculated by multiplying the opening market value of
the investments, adjusted for sales and purchases during the period, by the longer-term rate of investment return.
The longer-term rate of investment return is determined using consistent assumptions between operations, having regard
to local economic and market forecasts of investment return. The allocated longer-term return for other investments is
the actual income receivable for the period.
The Group has calculated the longer-term investment return for its general insurance and health business using the
same start of year economic assumptions for equities and properties as those used for EEV reporting as shown on page 33
of this announcement.
The principal assumptions underlying the calculation of the longer-term investment return are:

Earnings per share has been calculated based on the operating profit before impairment of goodwill and other
non-operating items, after tax, attributable to ordinary shareholders, as well as on the profit attributable to
ordinary shareholders. The directors believe the former earnings per share figures provide a better indication of
operating performance.
The calculation of basic earnings per share uses a weighted average of 2,469 million (2005: 2,340 million) ordinary
shares in issue, after deducting shares owned by the employee share trusts. The actual number of shares in issue at 31
December 2006 was 2,566 million (2005: 2,396 million).

approval by shareholders at the AGM, the dividend will be paid on 17 May 2007 and will be accounted for as an
appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2007.
Interest on the direct capital instrument issued in November 2004 is treated as an appropriation of retained profits
and, accordingly, it is accounted for when paid. Tax relief will be obtained at a rate of 30%.
Irish shareholders who are due to be paid a dividend denominated in euros will receive a payment at the exchange rate
prevailing on 28 February 2007.

Other activities not related to the core business segments or which are not reportable segments due to their
immateriality, such as the RAC non-insurance operations, our banking businesses and service companies are included as
'Other' in the following tables. Head office expenses, such as Group treasury and finance functions are also reported

(f) Goodwill allocation and impairment testing
IFRS requires formal impairment testing to be carried out annually. For impairment testing, goodwill and intangibles
with indefinite useful lives have been allocated to cash-generating units by geographical reporting unit and business
segment. The carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is reviewed at least
annually or when circumstances or events indicate there may be uncertainty over this value.
During the year, goodwill allocated to a long-term cash-generating unit in Germany, Berlinische, was tested for
impairment. Following the impairment test, an impairment charge of £94 million has been recognised in the income
statement. The impairment charge arose as a result of the fall off in contribution from new business in 2006 and
current adverse experience within the in-force portfolio. As a result of this, no goodwill remains allocated to this
cash-generating unit. The 2005 impairment charge of £43 million comprised £21 million relating to goodwill allocated
to a life cash-generating unit in Germany and £22 million on other small European businesses.

(h) Geographical analysis of life and pensions and investment sales - new business and total income
For the purpose of recording life and pensions new business premiums, the Group's policy is to include 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 the other life and related business written in
our associates and joint ventures as well as the lifetime mortgage business written in the UK. This includes both
insurance and investment contracts as defined under IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and is consistent with the definition
of covered business used for our supplementary embedded value reporting.
An analysis of new long-term business sales is provided below. In this table, single premiums are those relating to
products issued by the Group, which provide for the payment of one premium only. Regular premiums are those where
there is a contractual obligation to pay on an ongoing basis. Life and pensions total income represents all net
written premiums in the year for insurance contracts and investment contracts, excluding non-participating investment
contracts which are required to be accounted for under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and
IAS 18, Revenue.
