Basis of preparation of adjusted operating profit

Adjusted operating profit (AOP) reflects the directors' view of the underlying long-term performance of the Group. AOP is a measure of profitability which adjusts the IFRS profit measures for the specific items detailed in note C1 and, as such, it is a non-GAAP measure. The reconciliation set out above explains the differences between AOP and profit after tax as reported under IFRS.

For core life assurance and property & casualty businesses, AOP is based on a long-term investment return, including returns on investments held by life funds in Group equity and debt instruments, and is stated net of income tax attributable to policyholder returns. For all core businesses, AOP excludes goodwill impairment, the impact of accounting for intangibles acquired in a business combination and costs related to completed acquisitions, revaluations of put options related to long-term incentive schemes, profit/(loss) on acquisition/disposal of subsidiaries, associated undertakings and strategic investments, fair value profits/(losses) on certain Group debt instruments and costs related to the fundamental restructuring of continuing businesses. AOP includes dividends declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities. Old Mutual Bermuda and Nordic are treated as non-core and discontinued operations in the AOP disclosure. As such they are not included in AOP. Refer to note B1 for further information on the basis of segmentation.

Adjusted operating earnings per share is calculated on the same basis as AOP. It is stated after tax attributable to AOP and non-controlling interests. It excludes income attributable to Black Economic Empowerment trusts of listed subsidiaries. The calculation of the adjusted weighted average number of shares includes own shares held in policyholders' funds and Black Economic Empowerment trusts.

Except for mandatory reserve deposits with central banks of £829 million (2013: £759 million) and cash and cash equivalents subject to consolidation of funds of £1,639 million (2013: £1,667 million), management do not consider that there are any material amounts of cash and cash equivalents which are not available for use in the Group's day-to-day operations. Mandatory reserve deposits are, however, included in cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows in line with market practice in South Africa.

        Notes to the consolidated financial statements
                For the year ended 31 December 2014


A: Significant accounting policies

A1: Basis of preparation

The Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to those reporting under IFRS. The accounting policies adopted by the Group, unless otherwise stated, have been applied consistently with those applied in the preparation of the Group's 2014 Annual Report and Accounts.

The Group financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities designated as fair value through profit or loss, or as available-for-sale, owner-occupied property and investment property. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of the previous carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

The Group financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate.

The financial statements contained herein do not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the financial years ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 have been reported on by the Company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The statutory accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 will be delivered in due course. The report of the auditor for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Translation of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated from their respective functional currencies into the Group's presentation currency using the year end exchange rates, and their income and expenses using the average exchange rates. Other than in respect of cumulative translation gains and losses up to 1 January 2004, cumulative unrealised gains or losses resulting from translation of functional currencies to the presentation currency are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. To the extent that these gains and losses are effectively hedged, the cumulative effect of such gains and losses arising on the hedging instruments are also included in that component of shareholders' equity. Upon the disposal of subsidiaries the cumulative amount of exchange differences deferred in shareholders' equity, net of attributable amounts in relation to net investments, is recognised in profit or loss. Cumulative translation gains and losses up to 1 January 2004 were reset to zero.

A2: Significant corporate activity and business changes during the period

Acquisitions completed during the year

Acquisition of Faulu Kenya DTM LTD

On 1 April 2014, the Group completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in the micro-lender Faulu Kenya DTM LTD for £20 million. Goodwill of £3 million has been recognised on this transaction. No other intangible assets have been recognised. In addition, non-controlling interests of £9 million have been recognised on this transaction.

Acquisition of a significant interest in Banco Unico

On 12 June 2014, the Group announced that it had completed the acquisition of a 36.4% stake in Banco Unico for $24 million. Banco Unico is equity accounted as a joint venture in these financial statements.

Acquisition of Intrinsic Financial Services Limited

On 1 July 2014, the Group announced that it had completed the acquisition of 100% of Intrinsic Financial Services Limited (Intrinsic), a financial advisors group of companies for total consideration of £98m.The financial results and position of Intrinsic have been consolidated with effect from 1 July 2014.

The purchase price allocation has been finalised and allocated to goodwill (£59 million) and other intangible assets (£41 million).

Acquisition of Old Mutual Finance (Pty) Ltd

On 1 September 2014, the Group completed the acquisition of an additional 25% stake in Old Mutual Finance (Pty) Ltd (OMF) for R1,115 million (£63 million). As the Group now has a controlling shareholding of 75%, the financial results and position of OMF have been consolidated with effect from 1 September 2014.

The accounting related to the step up in ownership from 50% to 75% effectively involved a simultaneous sale of 50% of the business, followed by an acquisition of the fair value of 75% of the business. Consequently a profit of approximately R1,112 million (£62 million) was realised on the transaction. Consistent with usual Group practice, this profit was recognised in the IFRS profit or loss, but excluded from AOP. Goodwill of £93 million, intangible assets of £27 million, and non-controlling interest of £44 million have been recognised on this transaction.

 

Acquisition of 20.7% shareholding in Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI)

On 7 October 2014, Nedbank Group Limited, the majority-owned South African banking subsidiary of the Group, announced that it has exercised its rights to subscribe for a 20.7% shareholding in ETI for a cash consideration of $494 million (£305 million). The acquisition of the 20.7% stake has resulted in ETI being an associate for Group reporting purposes. ETI has been equity accounted from 1 October 2014.

Disposals completed during the year

Disposal of Skandia Poland

On 30 May 2014, the Group completed the disposal of Skandia Poland, part of Old Mutual Wealth. A loss on disposal of £21 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

Disposal of Skandia Austria and Skandia Germany

On 1 October 2014, the Group announced that it had completed the sale of two of its Old Mutual Wealth businesses, Skandia Austria and Skandia Germany. A loss on disposal of £43 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

OM Asset Management plc initial public offering

On 15 October 2015, the Group announced the closing of the initial public offering of 20.4% of OM Asset Management at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. As a result of the IPO, the Group has recognised a profit on disposal of £13 million directly in equity. At 31 December 2014, non-controlling interests of £163 million have been recognised in the statement of financial position. In addition to the above, £39m of the foreign currency translation reserve has been transferred to retained earnings.

Disposal of Skandia Liechtenstein

On 6 November 2014, the Group completed the sale of Skandia Liechtenstein, part of Old Mutual Wealth. A total loss on disposal of £6 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

Financing activities during the year

Nedbank Group Limited

On 10 July 2014, Nedbank Group Limited announced its intention to issue new preference shares which will be utilised to raise funding for Nedbank's business activities in general. No new preference shares were issued during the year.

Emerging Markets

On 27 November 2014, Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Limited (OMLAC(SA)) issued R300 million Unsecured Subordinated Callable Fixed Rate Notes under its R10 billion Unsecured Callable Notes Programme. Interest is payable in arrears at a fixed rate of 9.255 per cent on 27 May and 27 November each year up to the first call date of 27 November 2019 or until the maturity date of 27 November 2024.

On 27 November 2014, OMLAC(SA) also issued R700 million Unsecured Subordinated Callable Floating Rate Notes under the same programme. Interest is payable at a floating rate of 3 month ZAR-JIBAR + 2.2 per cent on 27 November, 27 February, 27 May and 27 August each year until 27 November 2019. From this date the floating rate increases to 3 month ZAR-JIBAR + 3.3 per cent until the maturity date of 27 November 2024. The notes have an optional redemption date of 27 November 2019 and each subsequent floating interest payment date until maturity.

Transactions announced during the year that will complete after 31 December 2014

Disposal of Skandia Luxembourg and Skandia France

On 3 September 2014, the Group announced that terms have been agreed to sell Skandia Luxembourg and Skandia France, part of Old Mutual Wealth.

For the year ended 31 December 2014, the net asset value of goodwill and intangible assets of these businesses has been written down to the fair value (less costs to sell) given expected losses on disposal. As a result, an impairment loss of £14 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

The disposal of these businesses completed on 2 February 2015.

Acquisition of Quilter Cheviot

On 17 October 2014, the Group announced that Old Mutual Wealth had agreed the acquisition of Quilter Cheviot, a leading UK-based discretionary investment manager, for a total consideration of up to £585 million. The transaction completed on 25 February 2015. The Group awaits the transaction completion financial statements of Quilter Cheviot in order to finalise its purchase price accounting.

Acquisition of UAP Holdings Limited

On 9 January 2015, the Group announced that it acquired a 23.3% stake in UAP Holdings Limited (UAP), an investment, retirement and insurance group that operates in East Africa, for a consideration of KES 9 billion (£64 million). UAP will be treated as an associated undertaking from 9 January 2015.

Subsequently, on 26 January 2015, the Group announced it acquired an additional 37.3% (second tranche) of UAP for a consideration of KES 14 billion (£103 million), subject to regulatory approval. The transaction will increase the Group's total holding to 60.7% and will result in the Group consolidating UAP. The acquisition of the second tranche is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.

A: Significant accounting policies continued

A3: Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the preparation of these financial statements, the Group is required to make estimates and judgements that affect items reported in the consolidated income statement, statement of financial position, other primary statements and related supporting notes.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are those which involve the most complex or subjective judgements or assessments. Where applicable the Group applies estimation and assumption setting techniques that are aligned with relevant actuarial and accounting guidance based on knowledge of the current situation.  This requires assumptions and predictions of future events and actions. There have been no significant methodology changes to the critical accounting estimates and judgements that the Group applied at 31 December 2014. The significant accounting policies are described in the relevant notes.

(a)  Loans and advances

Provisions for impairment of loans and advances

The majority of loans and advances are in respect of Nedbank, which assesses its loan portfolios for impairment at each financial reporting date. Nedbank actively manages its exposure to loans and advances through robust credit approval processes. The credit loss ratio at year ended 31 December 2014 was 0.79% (2013: 1.06%). The impairment for performing loans is calculated on a portfolio basis, based on historical loss experience, adjusted for national and sector specific economic conditions and other indicators present at the reporting date that correlate with defaults on the portfolio. These include early arrears, such as changes in macro-economic conditions and legislation affecting credit recovery. These annual loss ratios are applied to loan balances in the portfolio and scaled to the estimated loss emergence period.

For portfolios of loans and advances which comprise large numbers of small homogeneous assets with similar risk characteristics where credit scoring techniques are generally used, statistical techniques are used to calculate impairment allowances on the portfolio, based on historical recovery rates and assumed emergence periods. There are a number of models in use, each tailored to a product, line of business or client category. Judgement and knowledge are needed in selecting the statistical methods to use when the models are developed or revised. Additional impairment provisions may be raised for issues which the Group believes is not specifically covered by statistical models.

For wholesale (larger) exposures impairment allowances are calculated on an individual basis and all relevant considerations that have a bearing on the expected future cash flows are taken into account. The level of impairment allowance is the difference between the value of the discounted expected future cash flows and its carrying amount. Subjective judgements are made in the calculations of future cash flows and change with time as new information becomes available or as strategies evolve, resulting in frequent revisions to the impairment provision as individual decisions are taken.

Emerging Markets has lending exposure in South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe through non-wholly owned subsidiaries of £909 million (2013: £255 million). Credit loss ratios are monitored on each individual business unit and have generally improved in the current year.

Further detail is provided in note E3 in the Annual Report and Accounts.

(b)  Policyholder liabilities

Emerging Markets discretionary reserves

Technical provisions in South Africa are determined as the aggregate of:

§ Best estimate liabilities, with assumptions allowing for the best estimate of future experience and a market-consistent valuation of financial options and guarantees

§ Compulsory margins, prescribed in terms of the Long Term Insurance Act, 1988 and South African professional actuarial guidance note (SAP 104) as explicit changes to actuarial assumptions that increase the level of technical provisions held, and

§ Discretionary margins, permitted by the Long Term Insurance Act, 1988 and SAP 104, to allow for the uncertainty inherent in estimates of future experience after considering available options of managing that experience over time, or to defer the release of profits consistent with policy design or company practice.

Discretionary margins are held as either implicit or explicit margins. Explicit discretionary margins are derived as conscious changes to assumptions used to project future experience to increase technical provisions. Implicit discretionary margins arise where the method used to calculate overall technical provisions results in liabilities that are greater than the sum of best estimate liabilities and compulsory margins.

Explicit discretionary margins of £459 million (1.7% of total technical provisions) were held at 31 December 2014 (2013: £489 million, 1.9% of total technical provisions). This consisted largely of:

§ Margins held for Mass Foundation Cluster protection business, which allow for the uncertainty related to mortality experience in South Africa, as well as future lapse experience and future investment returns, and to ensure that profit is released appropriately over the term of the policies

§ Margins to allow for the uncertainty inherent in the assumptions used to value financial options and guarantees, implied volatility assumptions in particular, which are difficult to hedge due to the short term nature of the equity option market in South Africa

§ Margins on non-profit annuities, due to the inability to fully match assets to liabilities as a result of the limited availability of long-dated bonds, and to provide for longevity risk, and  

§ A margin set up in 2013 to allow for the uncertainty inherent in future economic assumptions used to calculate, mainly protection product liabilities, in the Retail Affluent business. Although interest rate hedging is used to manage interest rate risk on these products, the volatility of bond yields in South Africa means that it is difficult to maintain appropriate hedging positions without incurring significant trading costs. The discretionary margin therefore caters for the residual uncertainty present after allowing for the hedge programme that is in place. A similar margin was set up for the Mass Foundation Cluster savings book in 2014.

Emerging Markets Financial Soundness Valuation discount rate

The calculation of the Group's South African life assurance contract liabilities is sensitive to the discount rate used to value the liabilities. The methodology applied by the Group requires discount rates to be set according to the South African professional guidance note (SAP 104). In line with these principles, the reference rate is selected as the Bond Exchange of South Africa (BESA) par bond 10-year yield.

The reference rate was relatively volatile over 2014, ranging from 7.6% to 9.0% during the year ended 31 December 2014 (2013: 6.2% to 8.5%). At 31 December 2014 the reference discount rate was 8.0% (2013: 8.1%). The volatile interest rate environment continued to have a negligible impact on the operating profit for the South African life assurance businesses in 2014, given the continuance of the hedging program and discretionary margins put in place to mitigate these impacts.

The Group estimates that a 1% reduction in the reference discount rate will result in an increase in policyholder liabilities of £2 million (2013: £6 million), allowing for the impact of the hedging program.

Further disclosure of the policyholder sensitivity to interest rates is provided in note E8(g) of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Old Mutual Bermuda guarantees

Since the closure of Old Mutual Bermuda to new business in March 2009, management's key priorities have been to de-risk the business, manage the risk and solvency position and preserve shareholder value. The run-off of the book and hedging of the guarantees has significantly reduced the Group's risk exposure. The active contracts for which reserves are recognised are deferred and fixed index annuity investments and variable annuity products, which include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (GMAB) and guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB).

The key risk to the Group relates to the GMAB policies which were sold with Universal Guarantee Options (UGOs). 

UGOs guarantee policyholders the return of 120% of invested premiums and, subject to policyholder election, they may include a Highest Anniversary Value (HAV) guarantee. These guarantees are effective on the 10 year anniversary of policies, 10 year anniversaries will be reached in 2017 and 2018. The risk attaching to the guarantee of 120% of invested premium, and relating to equity and foreign exchange downside risks, is managed by a dynamic tail hedging strategy, which progressively increases hedge coverage if the value of underlying policyholder investments decreases.

The Old Mutual Bermuda business has also implemented a series of structured 'look back' options for the HAV risk of markets rising above the 120% guarantee and then subsequently falling below 120%, having reset the guarantees amount above 120%.

GMAB reserves have reduced from $84 million at 31 December 2013 to $82 million at 31 December 2014.

There are no significant risks to the Group associated with GMDB and management continues to operate strong oversight over the business.

(c) Tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and the calculation of the Group's tax charge and worldwide provisions for income tax necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgement. At any given time the Group typically has a number of open tax returns with various tax authorities and engages in active dialogue to resolve this. Provisions relating to these open items are recognised based on the Group's estimate of the mostly likely outcome, after taking into account external advice where appropriate. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded such differences will impact profit or loss, current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period such determination is made.

(d)  Consolidation set of standards

The Group has applied the following key judgements in the application of the requirements of the consolidation set of standards (IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements'):

Consolidation of investment funds and securitisation vehicles

The Group acts as a fund manager to a number of investment funds. In determining whether the Group controls such a fund, it will focus on an assessment of the aggregate economic interests of the Group (comprising any carried interests and expected management fees) and the investor's rights to remove the fund manager. The Group assesses, on an annual basis, such interests to determine if the fund will be consolidated. See note G3(b) in the Annual Report and Accounts for disclosures in respect of the investment funds in which the Group has an interest.

The Group has sponsored certain asset backed financing (securitisation) vehicles under its securitisation programme which are run according to pre-determined criteria that are part of the initial design of the vehicles. The Group is exposed to variability of returns from the vehicles through its holding of junior debt securities in the vehicles. It has concluded that it controls these vehicles and therefore has consolidated these asset backed financing vehicles.

Structured entities

The Group is required to make judgements on what constitutes a structured entity. Accounting standards define a structured entity as an entity designed so that its activities are not governed by way of voting rights. In assessing whether the Group has power over such investees in which it has an interest, the Group considers factors such as the purpose and design of the investee, its practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee, the nature of its relationship with the investee and the size of its exposure to the variability of returns of the investee. The Group has evaluated all exposures and has concluded that all investments in investment funds as well as certain securitisation vehicles and other funding vehicles represent investments in structured entities.

B: Segment information

B1: Basis of segmentation

The Group's segmental results are analysed and reported on a basis consistent with the way that management and the Board of directors of Old Mutual plc assesses performance of the underlying businesses and allocates resources. Information is presented to the Board on a consolidated basis in pounds sterling (the presentation currency) and in the functional currency of each business.

Adjusted operating profit (AOP) is one of the key measures reported to the Group's management and Board of directors for their consideration in the allocation of resources to and the review of performance of the segments. As appropriate to the business line, the Board reviews additional measures to assess the performance of each of the segments. These typically include sales, net client cash flows, funds under management, gross earned premiums, underwriting results, net interest income and non-interest revenue and credit losses.

A reconciliation between segment revenues and expenses and the Group's revenues and expenses is shown in note B3. Consistent with internal reporting, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are not directly attributable to a particular segment are allocated between segments where appropriate and where there is a reasonable basis for doing so. The Group accounts for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if the transactions were with third parties at current market prices. Given the nature of the operations, there are no major trading activities between the segments.

The revenues generated in each reported segment can be seen in the analysis of profits and losses in note B3. The segmental information in notes B3 and B4, reflects the adjusted and IFRS measures of profit or loss and the assets and liabilities for each operating segment as provided to management and the Board of directors. There are no differences between the measurement of the assets and liabilities reflected in the primary statements and that reported for the segments.

There are four primary business activities from which the Group generates revenue. These are life assurance (premium income), asset management business (fee and commission income), banking (banking interest receivable and investment banking income) and property & casualty (premium income). Other revenue includes gains and losses on investment securities.

The principal lines of business from which each operating segment derives its revenues are as follows:

Core operations

Emerging Markets - life assurance, property & casualty, asset management and banking

Nedbank - banking, asset management and life assurance

Old Mutual Wealth - life assurance and asset management

Institutional Asset Management - asset management

Non-core operations

Old Mutual Bermuda - life assurance

Segment presentation

The results of the property & casualty business were previously disclosed separately. However, following changes in management oversight, these have been included in the Emerging Markets segment with effect from 1 January 2014. This change has been applied to all periods presented and comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.

The USAM segment has been renamed to Institutional Asset Management and consists of OM Asset Management plc, a listed subsidiary of the Group and Rogge Global Partners plc, a fixed income asset management affiliate of the Group.

There have been no other changes to the presentation of segment information.

The Group's reported segments are now Emerging Markets, Nedbank, Old Mutual Wealth and Institutional Asset Management.  The Other segment includes Group Head Office. For all reporting periods, Old Mutual Bermuda is classified as a continuing operation in the IFRS income statement, but as non-core in determining the Group's adjusted operating profit.

As set out in the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts, the Group continues to incur costs related to the sale of its Nordic business in 2012. These costs largely relate to the transition of IT information and support services that were previously provided by the Nordic business to the wider Group, back to the Group. These costs are included in the expenses related to the discontinued operations in the IFRS consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2014 and as non-core for determining the Group's AOP for the year ended 31 December 2014. Further information on the results of discontinued operations is provided in note H1.

All other businesses have been classified as continuing operations for all reporting periods.

(b) Goodwill impairment and impact of acquisition accounting

When applying acquisition accounting, deferred acquisition costs and deferred revenues existing at the point of acquisition are not recognised under IFRS. These are reversed on acquisition in the statement of financial position and replaced by goodwill, other intangible assets and the value of the acquired present value of in-force business (acquired PVIF). In determining AOP, the Group recognises deferred revenue and acquisition costs and deferred revenue in relation to policies sold by acquired businesses pre-acquisition. The Group excludes the impairment of goodwill, the amortisation and impairment of acquired other intangibles and acquired PVIF as well as the movements in certain acquisition date provisions. Costs incurred on completed acquisitions are also excluded from AOP. If the intangible assets recognised as a result of a business combination are subsequently impaired, this is excluded from AOP. The effect of these adjustments to determine AOP are summarised below:

Emerging Markets

On 30 April 2014, following the termination of the management agreement with SA Corporate Real Estate Fund, a JSE listed real estate trust, the Group agreed to sell and transfer the business to the new manager once the transaction became unconditional. A profit of £4 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

On 1 September 2014, the Group completed the acquisition of an additional 25% stake in Old Mutual Finance (Pty) Ltd. The accounting related to the step up in ownership from 50% to 75% effectively involved a simultaneous sale of 50% of the business, followed by an acquisition of the fair value of 75% of the business. Consequently a profit of £62 million has been realised on the transaction, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the initial 50% and the carrying amount of the investment in Old Mutual Finance (Pty) Ltd at 1 September 2014.

Old Mutual Wealth

On 30 May 2014, the Group completed the disposal of Skandia Poland, part of Old Mutual Wealth. A loss on disposal of £21 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

On 1 October 2014, the Group announced that it had completed the sale of Skandia Austria and Skandia Germany. A loss on disposal of £43 million has been recognised in profit or loss.

On 6 November 2014, the Group completed the sale Skandia Liechtenstein. A loss on disposal of £6 million has been recognised in profit of loss.

Institutional Asset Management

During the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group received additional earn-out income of £2 million from affiliates disposed of in the prior year.

On 2 January 2013, the Group completed the sale of five of its affiliates and recognised a loss of £1 million.

On 11 October 2013, Institutional Asset Management committed to a plan to cease the operations of Echo Point. The incremental cost of £3 million associated with discontinuing the entity was recognised in full during October 2013.

(d) Short-term fluctuations in investment return

Profit before tax, as disclosed in the consolidated IFRS income statement, includes actual investment returns earned on the shareholder assets of the Group's life assurance and property & casualty businesses. AOP is stated after recalculating shareholder asset investment returns based on a long-term investment return rate. The difference between the actual and the long-term investment returns is referred to as the short-term fluctuation in investment return.

Long-term rates of return are based on achieved rates of return appropriate to the underlying asset base, adjusted for current inflation expectations, default assumptions, costs of investment management and consensus economic investment forecasts. The underlying rates are principally derived with reference to 10-year government bond rates, cash and money market rates and an explicit equity risk premium for South African businesses. The rates set out below reflect the apportionment of underlying investments in cash deposits, money market instruments and equity assets. Long-term rates of return are reviewed frequently by the Board, usually annually, for appropriateness. The review of the long-term rates of return seeks to ensure that the returns credited to AOP are consistent with the actual returns expected to be earned over the long-term.

For Emerging Markets, the return is applied to an average value of investible shareholders' assets, adjusted for net fund flows. For Old Mutual Wealth, the return is applied to average investible assets.

(e) Investment return adjustment for Group equity and debt instruments held in policyholder funds

AOP includes investment returns on policyholder investments in Group equity and debt instruments held by the Group's life funds. These include investments in the Company's ordinary shares and the subordinated liabilities and ordinary shares issued by the Group. These investment returns are eliminated within the consolidated income statement in arriving at profit before tax in the IFRS income statement, but are included in AOP. This ensures consistency of treatment with the measures in the related policyholder liability. During the year ended 31 December 2014, the investment return adjustment increased AOP by £42 million (year ended 31 December 2013: increase of £100 million).

(f) Dividends declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities

Dividends declared to the holders of the Group's perpetual preferred callable securities on an AOP basis were £32 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (year ended 31 December 2013: £42 million). For the purpose of determining AOP, these are recognised in finance costs on an accrual basis. In accordance with IFRS, the total cash distribution is recognised directly in equity.

(g) Institutional Asset Management equity plans

Institutional Asset Management has a number of long-term incentive arrangements with senior employees in its asset management affiliates.

The Group has issued put options over the equity of certain affiliates to senior affiliate employees, as part of its Institutional Asset Management incentive schemes. The impact of revaluing these instruments is recognised in accordance with IFRS, but excluded from AOP. At 31 December 2014, these instruments were revalued, the impact of which was a loss of £42 million (year ended 31 December 2013: loss of £38 million).

(h) Credit-related fair value losses on Group debt instruments

The widening of the credit spread on the Group's debt instruments causes the market value of these instruments to decrease, resulting in gains being recognised in profit or loss. Conversely, if the credit spread narrows the market value of debt instruments increases causing losses to be recognised in the consolidated income statement. In the directors' view, such movements are not reflective of the underlying performance of the Group and will reverse over time. Therefore they have been excluded from AOP.  For the year ended 31 December 2014, due to narrowing of credit spreads, a net loss of £10 million was recognised (year ended 31 December 2013: net loss of £31 million).

(i) Old Mutual Wealth restructuring expenditure

The Old Mutual Wealth business embarked on a significant programme of operational change in 2013. This will fundamentally restructure the way in which its UK platform business operates. Over the next two years, it will migrate certain elements of service provision to International Financial Data Services (IFDS). Costs related to decommissioning of existing technology and service provision and the migration of service to IFDS are excluded from AOP. These costs comprise payments to IFDS and directly attributable internal project costs and totalled £60 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (year ended 31 December 2013: £20 million).

C2: Earnings and earnings per share

The Group calculates earnings per share (EPS) on a number of different bases as appropriate to prevailing international, UK and South African practices and guidance. IFRS requires the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Adjusted operating EPS reflects earnings per share that is consistent with the Group's alternative profit measure. JSE Limited (JSE) listing requirements also require the Group to calculate headline EPS. The Group's EPS on these different bases are summarised below:

Final and interim dividends paid to ordinary equity holders are calculated using the number of shares in issue at the record date less own shares held in ESOP trusts, life funds of Group entities, Black Economic Empowerment trusts and related undertakings.

As a consequence of the exchange control arrangements in place in certain African territories, dividends to ordinary equity holders on the branch registers of those countries (or, in the case of Namibia, the Namibian section of the principal register) are settled through Dividend Access Trusts established for that purpose.

A final dividend of 6.25 pence (or its equivalent in other applicable currencies) per ordinary share in the Company has been recommended by the directors. The final dividend will be paid on 29 May 2015 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 17 April 2015 for the South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Malawi registers and 22 April 2015 for the UK register. The dividend will absorb an estimated £293 million of shareholders' funds. The Company is not planning to offer a scrip dividend alternative.

In March and November 2014, £17 million and £15 million respectively, were declared and paid to holders of perpetual preferred callable securities (March 2013: £22 million, November 2013: £25 million).

F: Other statement of financial position notes

F1: Non-controlling interests

(a) Profit or loss
(i) Ordinary shares

The non-controlling interests share of profit for the financial year has been calculated on the basis of the Group's effective ownership of the subsidiaries in which it does not own 100% of the ordinary equity. The principal subsidiaries where a non-controlling interest exists is Nedbank, the Group's banking business in South Africa and OM Asset Management plc, the Group's asset management business. For the year ended 31 December 2014 the non-controlling interests attributable to ordinary shares was £252 million (2013: £259 million).

The Group uses an adjusted weighted average effective ownership interests when calculating the non-controllable interest applicable to the adjusted operating profit of its Southern African banking businesses. These reflect the legal ownership of this business following the implementation for Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) schemes in 2005. In accordance with IFRS accounting rules the shares issued for BEE purposes are deemed to be, in substance, options. Therefore the effective ownership interest of the minorities reflected in arriving at profit after tax in the consolidated income statement is lower than that applied in arriving at adjusted operating profit after tax. In 2014 the increase in adjusted operating profit attributable to non-controlling interests as a result of this was £24 million (2013: £20 million).

The Group, through its South African banking business, has pledged debt securities amounting to £767 million (2013:  £703 million) as collateral for deposits received under re-purchase agreements. These amounts represent assets that have been transferred but do not qualify for derecognition under IAS 39. These transactions are entered into under terms and conditions that are standard industry practice to securities borrowing and lending activities.

Contingent liabilities - tax

The Revenue authorities in the principal jurisdictions in which the Group operates (South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States) routinely review historic transactions undertaken and tax law interpretations made by the Group The Group is committed to conducting its tax affairs in accordance with the tax legislation of the jurisdictions in which they operate. All interpretations made by management are made with reference to the specific facts and circumstances of the transaction and the relevant legislation.

There are occasions where the Group's interpretation of tax law may be challenged by the Revenue authorities. The financial statements include provisions that reflect the Group's assessment of liabilities which might reasonably be expected to materialise as part of their review. The Board is satisfied that adequate provisions have been made to cater for the resolution of tax uncertainties and that the resources required to fund such potential settlements are sufficient.

Due to the level of estimation required in determining tax provisions amounts eventually payable may differ from the provision recognised.

South Africa

During the course of 2014 discussions have been ongoing with the South African Revenue Services (SARS) in relation to the tax treatment of investments supporting Fixed Bond products sold by OMLAC(SA) between 2004 and 2013. SARS has submitted an assessment for amounts due. OMLAC(SA) has appealed the assessments and discussions regarding the merits of the OMLAC(SA) treatment of these items are continuing with SARS.

Nedbank litigation

There are a number of legal or potential claims against Nedbank Group Ltd and its subsidiary companies, the outcome of which cannot be foreseen at present.

As previously disclosed, the largest of these potential actions are claims in the High Court against Nedbank by certain shareholders in Pinnacle Point Group Ltd, alleging that Nedbank had a legal duty of care to them arising from a share swap transaction.  In 2013 two of these claims of R147 million and of R802 million were dismissed by the North Gauteng High Court. The only claim remaining is for R355 million.

Originally these shareholders and others lodged proceedings with the Securities Regulation Panel (SRP) for an order declaring that an affected transaction took place. The SRP ruled that no affected transaction took place. The last remaining claimant brought an application to the South Gauteng High Court for the review of the SRP ruling. This application was dismissed with costs on 15 November 2013. The applicant filed a notice to apply for leave to appeal this judgment, and on 16 July 2014 the Supreme Court of Appeal ruled in Nedbank's favour by refusing the application.

During 2011 further actions were instituted against Nedbank by other stakeholders for R210 million and by Absa Bank Limited for R773 million. In both these actions Nedbank have filed exceptions against the claims. On 25 August 2014, the R210 million claim was withdrawn.

Nedbank and its legal advisers remain of the opinion that the remaining claims are ambitious, and that the remaining claimants will have great difficulty succeeding.

Consumer protection

Old Mutual is committed to treating customers fairly and supporting its customers in meeting their lifetime goals and treating customers fairly is central to how our businesses operate.  We routinely engage with customers and regulators to ensure that we meet this commitment, but there is the risk of regulatory intervention across various jurisdictions, giving rise to the potential for customer redress which can result in retrospective changes to policyholder benefits, penalties or fines.  The Group monitors the exposure to these actions and makes provision for the related costs as appropriate.

Goodwill recognised


 155

£171 million of the £181 million consideration was paid in cash.

Goodwill of £155 million has been recognised on these acquisitions. Goodwill arose on the acquisition of these businesses due to their ability to add to the distribution footprint of the Group. These acquisitions are expected to facilitate the cross selling of Group markets into the client base of the acquirees. A control premium of £19 million was paid on the acquisition of Old Mutual Finance (Pty) Ltd as it allows the full integration of the business into the Group. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Refer to note F1 in the Annual Report and Accounts for further analysis of the goodwill recognised.

The carrying value of assets and liabilities in the entities' statement of financial position on acquisition date approximates the fair value of these items determined by the Group, with the exception of loans and advances and intangible assets.

The loans and advances recognised by the Group have been fair valued by £28 million, based on forecasted cash flows and a risk adjusted interest rate curve, taking into account the nature of the loans and advances. 

Additional intangible assets of £67 million have been recognised and relate to customer distribution channels (£41 million) and other intangible assets (£26 million). The value of the intangible assets was determined by applying cash flows to standard industry valuation models.  An indemnification asset of £9 million has been recognised due to warranties granted by the sellers for future claims based on previous business conducted.

Non-controlling interests of £53 million have been recognised as a result of the acquisition based on the full fair value of all the business acquired. The Group has included £13 million in net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent since the effective date of the acquisitions of the subsidiaries.

(b) Disposals of subsidiaries during the year

As discussed in note A2, Old Mutual Wealth disposed of a number of its European businesses during the year. The principal assets and liabilities that were disposed of were goodwill (£86 million), intangible assets (£130 million), investments and securities (£4,469 million) and long-term business policyholder liabilities (£4,438 million). In addition, the businesses disposed held cash of £76 million at the date of disposal.

G3: Events after the reporting date

Acquisition of UAP Holdings Limited

On 9 January 2015, the Group announced that it acquired a 23.3% stake in UAP Holdings Limited (UAP), an investment, retirement and insurance group that operates in East Africa, for a consideration of KES 9 billion (£64 million). UAP will be treated an associated undertaking from 9 January 2015.

Subsequently, on 26 January 2015, the Group announced it acquired an additional 37.3% (second tranche) of UAP for a consideration of KES 14 billion (£103 million), subject to regulatory approval. The transaction will increase the Group's total holding to 60.7% and will result in the Group consolidating UAP. The acquisition of the second tranche is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.

Disposal of Skandia France and Luxembourg

On 2 February 2015, the Group announced that it had completed the disposal of Skandia France and Luxembourg. These businesses have been treated as held for sale for year-end reporting purposes. Refer to note A2 for further information.

Acquisition of Quilter Cheviot

On 25 February 2015, the Group announced that it had completed the acquisition of Quilter Cheviot. The transaction was initially announced on 17 October 2014. There have been no significant changes to the terms initially announced and the Group awaits the transaction completion financial statements of Quilter Cheviot in order to finalise its purchase price accounting.

Maturity of the Nedbank BEE schemes

The various BEE schemes that reached their maturity dates on 1 January 2015 will be rationalised through a specific repurchase of Nedbank Group shares. The repurchased shares will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position of the Group and will be delisted, cancelled and reinstated as authorised but unissued shares. Following this, the Community Trust, which matures in 2030, will subscribe for Nedbank Group shares to maintain its shareholding in the Group.

Maturity of the Old Mutual South Africa (including Mutual & Federal) BEE schemes

The various BEE schemes that reached their maturity dates on 1 January 2015 will be concluded through the settlement of the notional loan accounts. Furthermore, certain other schemes will reach their maturity dates on 1 May 2015 and will be concluded in a similar way. The treatment of the shares will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position of the Group, however the Group expects to receive cash on the settlement of these loans.

H: Discontinued operations and disposal groups held for sale

H1: Discontinued operations

Amounts disclosed in relation to discontinued operations relate to the sale, in 2012, of the Group's Swedish, Danish and Norwegian life businesses (Nordic) and in 2011 of  US Life. The Nordic disposal was completed on 21 March 2012 and the US Life disposal was completed on 7 April 2011. The Group continued to incur costs directly related to the sale of these businesses relating to the transition of IT and other services, legal costs and intellectual property.

H2: Non-current assets and liabilities

On 2 February 2015, the Group announced that it had completed the sale of Skandia France and Luxembourg, part of the Old Mutual Wealth business. These businesses have been classified as held for sale at reporting date due to the imminence of the disposal. Total assets to the value of £1,319 million (including £1,259 million of investments and securities), and total liabilities to the value of £1,285 million, (including £1,263 million of long-term business policyholder liabilities) have been classified as held for sale.

A further loss of approximately £6 million will be reported on the disposal of the business as the proceeds received will be insufficient to recover the net asset values of the businesses.
