1. Gains on non-controlling interests have been adjusted to reflect the adoption by the Group of IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements'. The impact is to increase gains on non-controlling interests and profit for the period by £2m at H1 13 and £10m at FY 13. The profit attributable to equity holders remains unaffected.

2. Group debt costs exclude interest on non recourse financing.

 

This supplementary operating profit information (one of the Group's key performance indicators) provides further analysis of the results reported under IFRS and the Group believes gives shareholders a better understanding of the underlying performance of the business in the period.

 

Operating profit measures the pre-tax result reflecting longer-term economic assumptions for the Group's insurance businesses and shareholder funds, except for LGA which excludes unrealised investment returns to align with the liability measurement under US GAAP. Variances between actual and smoothed assumptions are reported below operating profit. Income and expenses arising outside the normal course of business in the period, such as merger and acquisition and restructuring costs, are excluded from operating profit, as are profits and losses arising on the elimination of own debt holdings.

 

LGAS represents Protection business (retail protection, group protection and general insurance) and Savings business (platforms, workplace, SIPPs, mature savings and with-profits). The LGAS segment also includes Legal & General France (LGF), Legal & General Netherlands (LGN) and emerging markets.

 

LGR represents Annuities (both individual and bulk purchase) and longevity insurance.

 

The LGIM segment represents institutional and retail investment management businesses.

 

LGC represents the medium term investment return (less expenses) on Group invested assets, using assumptions applied to the average balance of Group invested assets (including interest bearing intra-group balances) calculated on a monthly basis.

 

The LGA segment comprises protection business written in the USA.

1. Operational cash generation includes dividends remitted from LGF of £1m (H1 13: £1m; FY 13: £2m) and LGN of £14m (H1 13: £nil; FY 13: £14m) within the Protection line and LGA of £44m (H1 13: £43m; FY 13: £44m).


Operational cash generation for LGAS and LGR represents the expected surplus generated in the period from the UK in-force non profit Protection, Savings and Annuities businesses using best estimate assumptions. The LGAS operational cash generation also includes the shareholders' share of bonuses on with-profits business, dividends remitted from LGF and LGN and operating profit after tax from General Insurance and the remaining Savings businesses. 

  

  






  




New business strain for LGAS and LGR represents the cost of acquiring new business and setting up regulatory reserves in respect of the new business for UK non profit Protection, Savings and Annuities, net of tax. The new business strain and operational cash generation for both LGAS and LGR exclude required solvency margin from the liability calculation.

  

  






  




Net cash generation for LGAS and LGR is defined as operational cash generation less new business strain.

  

  






  




Operational cash generation and net cash for LGIM and LGC represents the operating profit (net of tax).

  

  






  




The operational cash generation for LGA represents the dividends received.

  

  






  




See Note 2.02 for more detail on experience variances, assumption changes and non-cash items.

1. The mortality/morbidity valuation assumption change for LGAS primarily relates to a reduction in prudence margin in the regulatory reserving assumptions within retail protection.

2. Net cash for LGAS Protection and insured savings recognises tax relief from prior year acquisition expenses, which were spread evenly over seven years under relevant 'I-E' tax legislation, in the period the cash flows actually occur. In contrast, operating profit typically recognised the value of these future cash flows in the same period as the underlying loss or expense as deferred tax amounts. The reconciling amounts arising from these items are included in the table above. Following the removal of new retail protection business from the I-E tax regime, and the removal of commission from new insured savings business under the Retail Distribution Review at the end of 2012, no material deferred tax assets arise on new acquisition expenses. From 2013, the deferred tax asset on prior period acquisition expenses began to unwind, with a significantly smaller replacement asset being created. This resulted in an initially higher level of net cash in 2013, which is reducing over the following 6 years.

3. The DAC in LGAS represents the amortisation charges offset by new acquisition costs deferred in the year. The DIL reflects initial fees on insured savings business which relate to the future provision of services and are deferred and amortised over the anticipated period in which these services are provided.

4. The other non-cash items in LGR primarily relates to the elimination of intra-group future profits arising from the provision of investment management services at market referenced rates.

1. Investment variance is positive primarily due to favourable default experience and an increase in exposure to Direct Investments in LGR which has enhanced the risk adjusted return. This has been partially offset by lower equity returns from shareholder funds.

2. M&A related includes gains, expenses and intangible amortisation relating to acquisitions.

3. Other includes new business start up costs, restructuring costs and other non-investment related variance items.

2.07 Basis of preparation

 

The Group's financial information for the period ended 30 June 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The Group's financial information has also been prepared in line with the accounting policies and methods of computation which the Group expects to adopt for the 2014 year end. These policies are consistent with the principal accounting policies which were set out in the Group's 2013 consolidated financial statements which were consistent with IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Commission for use in the European Union, except in relation to changes arising from the IASB's consolidation project, as explained below.

                                                                                                                                                                                               

The preparation of the interim management report includes the use of estimates and assumptions which affect items reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Income Statement and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The economic and non-economic actuarial assumptions used to establish the liabilities in relation to insurance and investment contracts are significant. For half-year financial reporting, economic assumptions have been updated to reflect market conditions. Non-economic assumptions are consistent with those used in the 31 December 2013 financial statements except for the changes outlined in Note 2.02. Scheme specific mortality assumptions are used to value bulk purchase annuities.

                                                               

The results for the six months ended 30 June 2014 are unaudited but have been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results from the full year 2013 have been taken from the Group's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts and have been restated for the adoption of accounting policies noted below. Therefore, these interim accounts should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts that have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union. Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP reported on the 2013 financial statements and their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts has been filed with the Registrar of Companies.                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                               

Changes to accounting policy - IASB consolidation project                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

On 1 January 2014 the application of IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements', and IFRS 11, 'Joint Arrangements' became compulsory for entities reporting in the EU.                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                               

IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements' defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. This states that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The application of IFRS 10 has resulted in the Group consolidating a small number of investment vehicles which were not previously consolidated. There is no material impact on the profit reported for the six months ended 30 June 2013 or the year ended 31 December 2013. The effect on profit and total equity previously reported at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2013 is shown below. The prior period information in the following Notes 2.08, 2.12, 2.14, 2.18 and 2.21 has been restated to reflect the adoption by the Group of IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements'.

                                                                               

IFRS 11, 'Joint Arrangements' defines and establishes accounting principles for joint arrangements. Based on how rights and obligations are shared by parties to the arrangements, it distinguishes between two such types: joint ventures and joint operations. As all of our joint arrangements are classified as joint ventures the adoption of this Standard has no impact upon the Group.

2.08 Segmental analysis

 

Reportable segments

 

The Group has five reportable segments comprising LGAS, LGR, LGIM, LGA, LGC and group expenses. 

 

LGAS represents Protection business (retail protection, group protection and general insurance) and Savings business (platforms, workplace, SIPPs, mature savings and with-profits). The LGAS segment also includes Legal & General France (LGF), Legal & General Netherlands (LGN) and emerging markets.

 

LGR represents Annuities (both individual and bulk purchase) and longevity insurance.

 

The LGIM segment represents institutional and retail investment management businesses.

 

The LGC segment includes shareholders' equity supporting the non profit LGR and LGAS businesses held within Society and Legal & General Pensions Limited (LGPL) and capital held by the Group's treasury function. LGC and group expenses also incorporates inter-segmental eliminations and consolidated unit trusts and property partnerships managed on behalf of clients which do not constitute a separately reportable segment.

 

The LGA segment represents protection business written in the USA.

 

Transactions between reportable segments are on normal commercial terms, and are included within the reported segments.

1. Positive investment and other variances for LGR are primarily due to favourable default experience and an increase in exposure to Direct Investments which has enhanced the risk adjusted return. Negative investment and other variances for LGC reflect lower equity returns from shareholder funds.

2. The tax credit for LGC primarily reflects an increase in the deferred tax asset recognised in respect of capital losses.

3. The segmental analysis of operating profit/(loss) has been restated to reflect the adoption by the Group of IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'. Further details are contained in Note 2.07. The impact is to increase profit for the period by £2m at H1 13 and £10m at FY 13.

(a) Fair value hierarchy

  









  







Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Fair value measurements are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Group's view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The Group utilises techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The levels of fair value measurement bases are defined as follows:

Level 1: fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: fair values measured using valuation techniques for all inputs significant to the measurement other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: fair values measured using valuation techniques for any input for the asset or liability significant to the measurement that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

All of the Group's level 2 assets have been valued using standard market pricing sources, such as iBoxx, IDC and Bloomberg, which use mathematical modelling and multiple source validation in order to determine "consensus" prices, except for bespoke CDO and swaps holdings (see below). In normal market conditions, we would consider these market prices to be observable market prices. Following consultation with our pricing providers and a number of their contributing brokers, we have considered that these prices are not from a suitably active market and have classified them as level 2.

 

These CDOs are valued using an external valuation based on observable market inputs, which include CDX and iTraxx index tranches and CDS spreads on underlying reference entities. This is then validated against the internal valuation. Accordingly, these assets have also been classified in level 2.

2.12 Financial investments and Investment property (continued)

(b) Assets measured at fair value based on level 3

 

Level 3 assets where internal models are used to represent a small proportion of assets to which shareholders are exposed, comprise both property and unquoted equities, the latter including investments in private equity, property vehicles and suspended securities.

 

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Group determines the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Group has classified within level 3.

 

The Group determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Group also determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. As appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Group's credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.

 

Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument. Illiquid market conditions have resulted in inactive markets for certain of the Group's financial instruments. As a result, there is generally no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors. These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed, and the differences could be material. As a result, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realisable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

 

Fair values are subject to a control framework designed to ensure that input variables and outputs are assessed independent of the risk taker. These inputs and outputs are reviewed and approved by a valuation committee.

 

There have been no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 for the period ended 30 June 2014 (H1 13: £nil; FY 13: £nil).

(c) Effect on changes in significant unobservable inputs to reasonably possible alternative assumptions on level 3 assets



  







Fair values of financial instruments are, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and are not based on observable market data. The following table shows the level 3 financial instruments carried at fair value as at the balance sheet date, the valuation basis, main assumptions used in the valuation of these instruments and reasonably possible increases or decreases in fair value based on reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

1. The sustained strength of equity markets resulted in a continued net deferred tax liability on the realised and unrealised capital gains.

2. The reduction in the deferred tax asset on excess expenses reflects the unwind of the spread acquisition expenses relating to changes in the I-E legislation.

3. The reduction in the deferred tax asset is due to utilisation of brought forward trading losses against LGR taxable profits.

4. The move to a net deferred tax liability provision in the UK reflects the continued utilisation of tax losses and corresponding reduction in deferred tax asset while the deferred tax liability on realised and unrealised gains has increased. Therefore the UK deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet is zero.

Other includes future commission payments which have contingent settlement provisions of £189m (H1 13: £183m; FY 13: £176m). This liability has been determined using the net present value of the future commission which will be payable on fund values. This valuation technique uses assumptions which are consistent with the Group's effective rate of interest, investment return assumptions and persistency assumptions used in other valuations, but it is not determined by reference to published price quotations.

Trail commissions are modelled using expected cash flows, incorporating expected future persistency. They have therefore been classified as level 3 liabilities. The entire movement in the balance has been reflected in the income statement during the period. A reasonably possible alternative persistency assumption would have the effect of increasing or decreasing the liability by £6m (H1 13: £5m; FY 13: £5m).

  







  

  

Level 3 'Other' financial liabilities also includes £5m deferred contingent consideration payable on the GIA acquisition.

  







  

  

Significant transfers between levels

 

There have been no significant transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 for the period ended 30 June 2014 (H1 13 and FY 13: No significant transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3).

0The presented fair values of the Group's operational borrowings reflect observable market information and have been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short term operational borrowings

 

Short term assets available at the holding company level exceeded the amount of short term operational borrowings of £136m (H1 13: £371m; FY 13: £189m). Short term operational borrowings comprise Euro Commercial paper, bank loans and overdrafts.

 

Non recourse borrowings

 

US Dollar Triple X securitisation 2037

In 2006, a subsidiary of LGA issued US$450m of non recourse debt in the US capital markets to meet the Triple X reserve requirements of part of the US term insurance written after 2005 and 2006. It is secured on the cash flows related to that tranche of business.

 

Suffolk Life unit linked borrowings

All of these non recourse borrowings are in relation to commercial properties held within SIPP plans and the borrowings solely relate to client investments.

 

LGV6/LGV7 Private Equity Fund Limited Partnerships

These borrowings are non recourse bank borrowings.

 

Consolidated Property Limited Partnerships

These borrowings are non recourse bank borrowings.

 

Syndicated credit facility

 

As at 30 June 2014, the Group had in place a £1.0bn syndicated committed revolving credit facility provided by a number of its key relationship banks, £0.04bn matures in October 2017 and £0.96bn matures in October 2018. A test drawing was made under this facility during 2013. No amounts were outstanding at 30 June 2014.

 

 

2.19 Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent third party interests in private equity and property investment vehicles which are consolidated in the Group's results. The net increase in the non-controlling interests in 2014 arises from the revaluation of the third party interests in the UK Property Ungeared Fund Limited Partnership and the Leisure Fund Unit Trust.

Net investments into associate investment vehicles totalled £2m during the period (H1 13: £8m; FY 13: £21m). The Group has no outstanding loans to these associates (H1 13: £nil; FY 13: £nil) and received investment management fees of £1m during the period (H1 13: £1m; FY 13: £2m). Distributions from these investment vehicles to the Group totalled £1m (H1 13: £13m; FY 13: £19m). The prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect the adoption by Group of IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements', which led to the consolidation of investment vehicles previously classified as associates.

 


 

During the period, the Group injected cash of £77m into its joint venture investment, CALA, in the form of £43m equity and £34m debt. These payments settled the deferred consideration due and facilitated the growth of the company, including the acquisition of Banner Homes. The loans outstanding from CALA total £52m (including £1m interest payable) (H1 13: £16m; FY 13: £17m).

 

 

 

2.22 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 2014, the combined after tax deficit arising from these arrangements (net of annuity obligations insured by Society) has been estimated at £366m (H1 13: £269m; FY 13: £374m). These amounts have been recognised in the financial statements with £231m charged against shareholder equity (H1 13: £160m; FY 13: £236m) and £135m against the unallocated divisible surplus (H1 13: £109m; FY 13: £138m).

2.23 Contingent liabilities, guarantees and indemnities

 

Provision for the liabilities arising under contracts with policyholders is based on certain assumptions. The variance between actual experience from that assumed may result in those liabilities differing from the provisions made for them. Liabilities may also arise in respect of claims relating to the interpretation of policyholder contracts, or the circumstances in which policyholders have entered into them. The extent of these liabilities is influenced by a number of factors including the actions and requirements of the PRA, ombudsman rulings, industry compensation schemes and court judgments.

 

Various Group companies receive claims and become involved in actual or threatened litigation and regulatory issues from time to time. The relevant members of the Group ensure that they make prudent provision as and when circumstances calling for such provision become clear, and that each has adequate capital and reserves to meet reasonably foreseeable eventualities. The provisions made are regularly reviewed. It is not possible to predict, with certainty, the extent and the timing of the financial impact of these claims, litigation or issues.

 

In 1975, Legal and General Assurance Society Limited (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. Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep NV is now owned by Columbia Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 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 as a normal part of their business and operating activities or in relation to capital market transactions. Legal & General Group Plc has provided indemnities and guarantees in respect of the liabilities of Group companies in support of their business activities, including Pension Protection Fund compliant guarantees in respect of certain Group companies' liabilities under the Group pension fund and scheme.

Independent review report to Legal & General Group Plc - IFRS

Report on the consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements, defined below, in the interim management report of Legal & General Group Plc for the six months ended 30 June 2014. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

This conclusion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder of this report.

What we have reviewed

The consolidated interim financial statements, which are prepared by Legal & General Group Plc, comprise:

·      the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2014;

·      the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period then ended;

·      the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the period then ended;

·      the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the period then ended; and

·      the explanatory notes to the consolidated interim financial statements.

As disclosed in Note 2.07, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated interim financial statements included in the interim management report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

What a review of consolidated interim financial statements involves

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.

We have read the other information contained in the interim management report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the consolidated interim financial statements.

Responsibilities for the consolidated interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The interim management report, including the consolidated interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim management report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the consolidated interim 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 for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, 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.

1. Solutions includes liability driven investments and multi-asset funds.

  


2. Overlay assets comprise derivative notionals associated with Solutions business.

3. External net flows exclude movements in overlay assets which have a short maturity period as determined by client agreements (Q1 13: £22.4bn; H1 13: £21.9bn;

Q3 13: £24.3bn; FY 13: 32.8bn), and hence are subject to a higher degree of variability. The movement in these assets is therefore included in market and other

movements.




  



  

  


4. Includes £2.9bn of Legal & General France assets.
