**The full year 2010 tax charge attributable to shareholders' returns included an exceptional tax credit of £158 million which primarily related to the impact of a settlement agreed with the UK tax authorities.
***All profit is from continuing operations.

(i)      This measure is the formal profit before tax measure under IFRS but it is not the result attributable to shareholders.

(ii)     The adjusting items to profit before tax included within changes in operating assets and liabilities are as follows:

		Half year	Half year	Full year
		2011  £m	2010  £m	2010  £m
	Other non-investment and non-cash assets	(872)	(997)	(1,161)

	Other liabilities (including operational borrowings)	198	705	1,332
	Changes in operating assets and liabilities	872	516	(136)

(iii)    The adjusting items to profit before tax included within other items are adjustments in respect of non-cash items, together with operational interest receipts and payments, dividend receipts and tax paid.

(iv)    The acquisition of subsidiaries in half year 2011 related to the PAC with-profits fund's purchase of two venture investments with an outflow of £41m.

The acquisition of United Overseas Bank Life Assurance Limited (UOB) in 2010 resulted in an outflow of cash from investing activities of £133 million in the 12 months ended 31 December 2010 (30 June 2010: £101 million). The remaining outflow of £12 million in full year 2010 related to the PAC with-profits fund's purchase of Meterserve.

(v)     Structural borrowings of shareholder-financed operations comprise core debt of the parent company, PruCap bank loan and Jackson surplus notes. Core debt excludes borrowings to support short-term fixed income securities programmes, non-recourse borrowings of investment subsidiaries of shareholder-financed operations and other borrowings of shareholder-financed operations. Cash flows in respect of these borrowings are included within cash flows from operating activities.

(vi)    Structural borrowings of with-profits operations relate solely to the £100 million 8.5 per cent undated subordinated guaranteed bonds which contribute to the solvency base of the Scottish Amicable Insurance Fund (SAIF), a ring-fenced sub-fund of the PAC with-profits fund. Cash flows in respect of other borrowings of with-profits funds, which principally relate to consolidated investment funds, are included within cash flows from operating activities.

(vii)   Cash movements in respect of equity capital in 2010 exclude scrip dividends. The scrip dividend alternative has been replaced by the Dividend Re-investment Plan (DRIP) from the 2010 final dividend.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) BASIS RESULTS

NOTES ON THE IFRS BASIS RESULTS

A    Basis of preparation and audit status

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union (EU). The Group's policy for preparing this interim financial information is to use the accounting policies adopted by the Group in its last consolidated financial statements, as updated by any changes in accounting policies it intends to make in its next consolidated financial statements as a result of new or amended IFRSs that are applicable or available for early adoption for the next annual financial statements and other policy improvements. EU-endorsed IFRSs may differ from IFRSs issued by the IASB if, at any point in time, new or amended IFRSs have not been endorsed by the EU. At 30 June 2011, there were no unendorsed standards effective for the period ended 30 June 2011 affecting the condensed consolidated financial statements, and there were no differences between IFRSs endorsed by the EU and IFRSs issued by the IASB in terms of their application to the Group.

The IFRS basis results for the 2011 and 2010 half years are unaudited. The 2010 full year IFRS basis results have been derived from the 2010 statutory accounts. The auditors have reported on the 2010 statutory accounts which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors 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.

The additional information shown in notes 1 to 7 is also unaudited.

B    Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in determining the IFRS basis results in this report are the same as those previously applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements in 2011 as described below.

Accounting pronouncements adopted in 2011

The Group has adopted the following accounting pronouncements in 2011 but their adoption has had no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group:

•     Improvements to IFRSs (2010), which includes minor changes to six IFRSs;

•     Amendments to IAS 24, 'Related party disclosures';

•     Amendments to IFRIC 14, 'Prepayment of a minimum funding requirement'; and

•     IFRIC 19, 'Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments'.

This is not intended to be a complete list of accounting pronouncements effective in 2011 as only those that could have an impact upon the Group's financial statements have been discussed.

Notes

(i)      In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. The effect of this change is explained below.

(ii)     UK operations transferred its general insurance business to Churchill in 2002. General insurance commission represents the net commission receivable net of expenses for Prudential-branded general insurance products as part of this arrangement.

(iii)    The charge for share-based payments for Prudential schemes is for the SAYE and Group performance-related schemes.

(iv)    During the first half of 2011 the Group altered its inflation measure basis for future statutory increases to pension payments for certain tranches of its UK defined benefit pension schemes. This reflects the UK Government's decision to replace the basis of indexation from RPI with CPI. This resulted in a credit to the operating profit before tax of £42 million.

 (v)    Restructuring costs comprise amounts incurred in the UK business defined as covered for EEV reporting purposes.

(vi)    The shareholders' share of actuarial and other gains and losses on defined benefit pension schemes reflects the aggregate of actual less expected returns on scheme assets, experience gains and losses, the effect of changes in assumptions and altered provisions for deficit funding, where relevant. 

Determining operating segments and performance measure of operating segments

The Group's operating segments determined in accordance with IFRS 8, are as follows:

Insurance operations

-    Asia

-    US (Jackson)

-    UK

Asset management operations 

-    M&G

-    Asian asset management

-    US broker-dealer and asset management (including Curian)

Prudential Capital has been incorporated into the M&G operating segment for the purposes of segment reporting.

The performance measure of operating segments utilised by the Company is IFRS operating profit attributable to shareholders based on longer-term investment returns. This measure excludes the recurrent items of short-term fluctuations in investment returns and the shareholders' share of actuarial and other gains and losses on defined benefit pension schemes. In addition, for 2010 this measure excluded costs associated with the terminated AIA transaction and gain arising upon the dilution of the Group's holding in PruHealth. In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. There is no change to total profit for continuing operations before tax attributable to shareholders arising from this altered treatment. Operating earnings per share is based on operating profit based on longer-term investment returns, after tax and non-controlling interests.

Segment results that are reported to the Group Executive Committee (GEC) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items are mainly in relation to the Group Head Office and Asian Regional Head Office.

For the purposes of measuring operating profit, investment returns on shareholder-financed business are based on the expected longer-term rates of return. This reflects the particular features of long-term insurance business where assets and liabilities are held for the long-term and for which the accounting basis for insurance liabilities under current IFRS is not generally conducive to demonstrating trends in underlying performance for life businesses exclusive of changes in market conditions. In determining profit on this basis, the following key elements are applied to the results of the Group's shareholder-financed operations.

(a)    Debt and equity securities

Longer-term investment returns comprise income and longer-term capital returns. For debt securities the longer-term capital returns comprise two elements. These are a risk margin reserve (RMR) based charge for expected defaults, which is determined by reference to the credit quality of the portfolio, and amortisation of interest-related realised gains and losses to operating results based on longer-term investment returns to the date when sold bonds would have otherwise matured. The shareholder-backed operation for which the RMR charge is most significant is Jackson National Life.

Jackson has used the ratings resulting from the regulatory ratings detail issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to determine the average annual RMR. These were developed by external third parties; PIMCO (for RMBS) and from the second half of 2010 BlackRock Solutions (for CMBS), and are considered by management more relevant information for the MBS securities concerned than using ratings by Nationally Recognised Statistical Ratings Organisations (NRSRO). For other securities Jackson uses ratings by NRSRO.

(b)    US variable and fixed index annuity business

The following value movements for Jackson's variable and fixed index annuity business are excluded from operating profit based on longer-term investment returns:

·       Fair value movements for equity-based derivatives;

·       Fair value movements for embedded derivatives for Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) "not for life" and fixed index annuity business, and Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) reinsurance;

·       Movements in accounts carrying value of GMDB and GMWB "for life" liabilities;

·       Fee assessment, and claim payments, in respect of guarantee liabilities; and

·       Related changes to amortisation of deferred acquisition costs for each of the above items.

As noted above the results for the six months ended 30 June 2010 have been amended to adopt this new presentation relating to value movements for Jackson's variable and fixed index annuity business. The new presentation was adopted to remove accounting volatility caused by a mismatch in the accounting treatment of derivative assets versus embedded derivative insurance liabilities, that was not representative of the underlying economic result of Jackson. For previous reporting of the half year 2010 results, all of the above items were included in operating profit based on longer-term investment returns with two exceptions. The exceptions were for the effect of GMIB reinsurance and movements in carrying values of free standing derivatives and embedded derivatives arising from changes in the level of observed implied equity volatility and changes in the discount rate applied from year to year. Previously, for the purposes of determining operating profit based on longer-term investment returns, the charge for these features was determined using historical longer-term equity volatility levels and long-term average AA corporate bond rate curves with the movement relating to the change in difference in longer-term and current rates being included in short-term fluctuations. No changes have been made in respect of these exceptions and both remain in short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

The change to the results for half year 2010 reflects management's IFRS 8 segment measure. Within the supplementary analysis of profit, the change is presentational only. It has no impact on profit before tax or shareholders' equity. The impact of this change to the results for half year 2010 is as follows:

			Half year ended 30 June 2010
			Previous basis	Change	Revised basis
			£m	£m	£m
Operating profit based on longer-term investment returns
	Jackson		450	(123)	327
	Rest of Group		518	-	518
Total			968	(123)	845
Short-term fluctuations in investment returns on shareholder-backed business			26	123	149
Shareholders' share of actuarial and other gains and loss on defined benefit pension schemes			(24)	-	(24)

US operations - Embedded derivatives for variable annuity guarantee features

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) liability, which is fully reinsured, subject to a deductible and annual claim limits, is accounted for under IFRS using 'grandfathered' US GAAP in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 944-80 Financial Services - Insurance - Separate Accounts (formerly SOP 03-1). As the corresponding reinsurance asset is net settled, it is considered to be a derivative under IAS 39 and the asset is therefore recognised at fair value. As the GMIB benefit is economically reinsured the mark to market element of the reinsurance asset is included as a component of short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

(c)    Other derivative value movements

Generally, derivative value movements are excluded from operating results based on longer-term investment returns (unless those derivative value movements broadly offset changes in the accounting value of other assets and liabilities included in operating profit). The principal example of non-equity based derivatives whose value movements are excluded from operating profit arises in Jackson. Non-equity based derivatives are primarily held by Jackson as part of a broadly-based hedging programme for features of Jackson's bond portfolio (for which value movements are booked in the statement of comprehensive income rather than the income statement) and product liabilities (for which US GAAP accounting as grandfathered under IFRS 4 does not reflect the economic features being hedged).

Value movements for Jackson's equity-based derivatives and variable and fixed index annuity product embedded derivatives were in prior periods included in operating profits based on longer-term investment returns. These value movements, which are variable in nature, have been included in short-term fluctuations and half year 2010 comparatives have been adjusted accordingly.

There are two exceptions to the basis described above in sections (a) to (c) for determining operating results based on longer-term investment returns. These are for:

-       Unit-linked and US variable annuity business. For such business the policyholder unit liabilities are directly reflective of the asset value movements. Accordingly all asset value movements are recorded in the operating results based on longer-term investment returns.

-      Assets covering non participating business liabilities that are interest rate sensitive. For UK annuity business policyholder liabilities are determined by reference to current interest rates. The value movements of the assets covering liabilities are closely correlated with the related change in liabilities. Accordingly asset value movements are recorded within the operating results based on longer-term investment returns. Policyholder liabilities include a margin for credit risk. Variations between actual and best estimate expected impairments are recorded as a component of short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

(d)    Other liabilities to policyholders and embedded derivatives for product guarantees

Under IFRS, the degree to which the carrying values of liabilities to policyholders are sensitive to current market conditions varies between territories depending upon the nature of the 'grandfathered' measurement basis. In general, in those instances where the liabilities are particularly sensitive to routine changes in market conditions, the accounting basis is such that the impact of market movements on the assets and liabilities is broadly equivalent in the income statement, and operating profit based on longer-term investments returns is not distorted. In these circumstances, there is no need for the movement in the liability to be bifurcated between the elements that relate to longer-term market conditions and short-term effects.

However, some types of business movements in liabilities do require bifurcation to ensure that at the net level (i.e. after allocated investment return and change for policyholder benefits) the operating result reflects longer-term market returns.

Examples where such bifurcation is necessary are:

(i)      Asia

·     Vietnamese participating business

For the participating business in Vietnam the liabilities include policyholders' interest in investment appreciation and other surplus.  Bonuses paid in a reporting period and accrued policyholders' interest in investment appreciation and other surpluses primarily reflect the level of realised investment gains above contract specific hurdle levels. For this business, operating profit based on longer-term investment returns includes the aggregate of longer-term returns on the relevant investments, a credit or charge equal to movements on the liability for the policyholders' interest in realised investment gains (net of any recovery of prior deficits on the participating pool), less amortisation over five years of current and prior movements on such credits or charges.

The overall purpose of these adjustments is to ensure that investment returns included in operating results equal longer-term returns but that in any one reporting period movements on liabilities to policyholders caused by investment returns are substantially matched in the presentation of the supplementary analysis of profit before tax attributable to policyholders.

·     Non-participating business

Bifurcation for the effect of determining the movement in the carrying value of liabilities to be included in operating results based on longer-term investment returns, and the residual element for the effect of using year end rates is included in short-term fluctuations and in the income statement.

·     Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB) product features

For unhedged GMDB liabilities accounted for under IFRS using 'grandfathered' US GAAP, such as in the Japanese business, the change in carrying value is determined under FASB ASC subtopic 944-80, Financial Services - Insurance - Separate Accounts (formerly SOP 03-1), which partially reflects changes in market conditions. Under the company's segmental basis of reporting the operating profit reflects the change in liability based on longer-term market conditions with the difference between the charge to the operating result and the movement reflected in the total result included in short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

(ii)     UK shareholder-backed annuity business

With one exception, the operating result based on longer-term investment returns reflects the impact of all value movements on policyholder liabilities for annuity business in PRIL and the PAC non-profit sub-fund.

The exception is for the impact on credit risk provisioning of actual downgrades during the period. As this feature arises due to short-term market conditions, the effect of downgrades, if any, in a particular period, on the overall provisions for credit risk is included in the category of short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

The effects of other changes to credit risk provisioning are included in the operating result, as is the net effect of changes to the valuation rate of interest due to portfolio rebalancing to align more closely with management benchmark.

(e)  Fund management and other non-insurance businesses

For these businesses, the particular features applicable for life assurance noted above do not apply. For these businesses it is inappropriate to include returns in the operating result on the basis described above.  Instead, it is appropriate to generally include realised gains and losses (including impairments) in the operating result with unrealised gains and losses being included in short-term fluctuations. For this purpose impairments are calculated as the credit loss determined by comparing the projected cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate to the carrying value. In some instances it may also be appropriate to amortise realised gains and losses on derivatives and other financial instruments to operating results over a time period that reflects the underlying economic substance of the arrangements.

Notes

(i)      The investment funds are managed on behalf of third-parties and are consolidated under IFRS in recognition of the control arrangements for the funds. The gains (losses) in respect of the investment funds are non-recourse to M&G and the Group and are added back through charges and consequently there is no impact on the profit before tax.

(ii)     NPH broker-dealer fees represents commissions received, which are then paid on to the writing broker on sales of investment products.

(iii)    M&G operating profit based on longer-term investment returns:

					Half year	Half year	Full year
					2011 £m	2010 £m	2010 £m
Asset management fee income					350	298	612
Other income					1	1	3
Staff costs					(133)	(122)	(263)
Other costs					(61)	(58)	(123)
Underlying profit before performance-related fees					157	119	229
Performance-related fees					15	3	17
Operating profit from asset management operations					172	122	246
Operating profit from Prudential Capital					27	21	38
Total M&G operating profit based on longer-term investment returns					199	143	284

The difference between the fees and other income shown above in respect of asset management operations, and the revenue figure for M&G shown (excluding consolidated investment funds) in the main table primarily relates to total revenue of Prudential Capital (including short-term fluctuations) of £71 million (half year 2010: £55 million; full year 2010: £136 million) and commissions which have been netted off in arriving at the fee income of £350 million (half year 2010: £298 million; full year 2010: £612 million) in the table above. The difference in the presentation of commission is aligned with how management reviews the business.

(iv)   Short-term fluctuations in investment returns for M&G are primarily in respect of unrealised value movements on Prudential Capital's bond portfolio.

(v)     Included within Asian asset management revenue and charges are £30 million of commissions (half year 2010: £29 million; full year 2010: £60 million).

E     Key assumptions, estimates and bases used to measure insurance assets and liabilities

(i)      Asian insurance operations

In half year 2011, IFRS operating profit based on longer-term investment returns for Asian insurance operations included a net £25 million credit arising from a small number of items that are not anticipated to reoccur in future periods.

In 2010, one-off changes were made in the first six months to reserving assumptions which resulted in a release from liabilities of £19 million.

(ii)     US insurance operations

Accelerated amortisation of deferred acquisition costs

Jackson National Life has consistently applied its basis of amortising deferred acquisition costs. The basis involves a mean reversion technique for dampening the effects of short-term market movements on expected gross profits, against which deferred acquisition costs are amortised. To the extent that the mean reversion methodology does not fully dampen the effects of market returns there is a charge or credit for accelerated or decelerated amortisation. For half year 2011 there was a charge for accelerated amortisation of £82 million (half year 2010: £67 million; full year 2010: £11 million). Further details are explained in note R.

(iii)   UK insurance operations

Annuity business: allowance for credit risk

For IFRS reporting, the results for UK shareholder-backed annuity business are particularly sensitive to the allowances made for credit risk. The allowance is reflected in the deduction from the valuation rate of interest for discounting projected future annuity payments to policyholders that would have otherwise applied. Since mid-2007 there has been a significant increase in the actual and perceived credit risk associated with corporate bonds as reflected in the significant widening that has occurred in corporate bond spreads. Although bond spreads over swap rates have narrowed from their peak in March 2009, they are still high compared with the levels seen in the years immediately preceding the start of the dislocated markets in 2007. The allowance that should therefore be made for credit risk remains a particular area of judgement.

The additional yield received on corporate bonds relative to swaps can be broken into the following constituent parts:

(a)  the expected level of future defaults;

(b) the credit risk premium that is required to compensate for the potential volatility in default levels;

(c)  the liquidity premium that is required to compensate for the lower liquidity of corporate bonds relative to swaps; and

(d) the mark-to-market risk premium that is required to compensate for the potential volatility in corporate bond spreads (and hence market values) at the time of sale.

The sum of (c) and (d) is often referred to as 'liquidity premium'.

The allowance for credit risk is calculated as the long-term expected defaults and a long-term credit risk premium. This long-term credit risk is supplemented by a short-term allowance to allow for the concern that credit ratings applied by the rating agencies may be downgraded and defaults in the short-term might be higher than the long-term assumptions.

The weighted components of the bond spread over swap rates for shareholder-backed fixed and linked annuity business for PRIL at 30 June 2011, 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010, based on the asset mix at the relevant balance sheet date are shown below.

Notes

(i)      Bond spread over swap rates reflect market observed data.

(ii)     For the valuations prior to 31 December 2010, long-term expected defaults were derived by applying Moody's data from 1970 to 2004 uplifted by between 100 per cent (B) and 200 per cent (AAA) according to credit rating on the annuity asset portfolio. The credit rating assigned to each asset held was based on external credit rating and for this purpose the credit rating assigned to each asset held was the lowest credit rating published by Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch.

From the 31 December 2010 valuation onwards, long-term expected defaults are derived by applying Moody's data from 1970 to 2009 and the definition of the credit rating used has been revised from the lowest credit rating to the second highest credit rating published by Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch.

(iii)    For the valuations prior to 31 December 2010, the long-term credit risk premium provides compensation against the risk of potential volatility in the level of defaults and is derived by applying the 95^th percentile from Moody's data from 1970 to 2004 to the annuity asset portfolio. From the 31 December 2010 valuation onwards, the long-term credit risk premium is derived from Moody's data from 1970 to 2009.

         The combined effect of this change and the changes described in (ii) above as at 31 December 2010 was neutral on the long-term credit risk allowance for PRIL.

 (iv)   The movements in the short-term allowance for credit risk assumed in the Pillar 1 solvency valuations reflected events in the period, namely the impact of credit migration, the decision not to release favourable default experience, new business and asset trading amongst other items. This is demonstrated by the analyses below.

         The very prudent Pillar 1 regulatory basis reflects the overriding objective of ensuring sufficient provisions and capital to ensure payments to policyholders can be made. The approach for IFRS aims to establish liabilities that are closer to 'best estimate'. IFRS default assumptions are therefore set between the EEV and Pillar I assumptions.

 Movement in the credit risk allowance for PRIL in the six months ended 30 June 2011

The movement in the first half of 2011 of the average basis points allowance for PRIL on IFRS basis is as follows:

				IFRS
				(bps)
				Long   term	Short   term	Total
Total allowance for credit risk at 31 December 2010				26	16	42

Mortality and other assumption changes

Half year 2011 and half year 2010

There were no changes in mortality and other assumptions that had a material impact on the half year 2011 and half year 2010 results of the UK Insurance operations

Full year 2010

Prior to 31 December 2010, Prudential's annuity business liabilities were determined using the Continuous Mortality Investigation ('CMI') medium cohort projections with a floor. In November 2009 a new mortality projection model was released by the CMI. 

The new model was applied in determining the 31 December 2010 valuation results with calibration to reflect an appropriate view of future mortality improvement. In recognition of the trend in assumed mortality improvements the Company had in previous years included margins in its annuity liabilities. In determining the results for the year ended 31 December 2010 the appropriate level of these margins was reassessed. 

The net effect of applying the new model, releases of margins, and changes to other related mortality assumption for shareholder-backed business was a credit of £8 million in the full year 2010 results. With a £38 million benefit from altered expense assumptions the overall credit for shareholder-backed business in full year 2010 was £46 million.

* In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. Note C explains the effect of the change.

* In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. Note C explains the effect of the change.

Consistent with the basis of measurement of insurance assets and liabilities for Jackson's IFRS results, the charges and credits to operating profits based on longer-term investment returns are partially offset by related changes to amortisation of deferred acquisition costs.

(c)     The gain of £25 million (half year 2010: gain of £111 million; full year 2010: loss of £15 million) is for the value movement of non-equity freestanding derivatives held to manage the fixed annuity and other general account business. Under IAS 39, unless hedge accounting is applied value movements on derivatives are recognised in the income statement.

         For the derivatives programme attaching to the fixed annuity and other general account business, the Group has continued its approach of not seeking to apply hedge accounting under IAS 39. This decision reflects the inherent constraints of IAS 39 for hedge accounting investments and life assurance assets and liabilities under 'grandfathered' US GAAP under IFRS 4.

(d)     The amount of £(79)million (half year 2010: £(115)million; full year 2010: £(365) million) relates to the net equity hedge accounting effect of the equity-based derivatives and associated guarantee liabilities of Jackson's variable and fixed index annuity business. The details of the value movements excluded from operating profit based on longer-term investment returns are as described in note C.

(e)     The longer-term rates of return for equity-type investments are currently based on spreads over 10 year US treasury rates of 400 to 600 basis points. The longer-term rates of return for equity-type investments ranged from 7.1 per cent to 7.5 per cent at 30 June 2011, 7.0 per cent to 9.9 per cent at 30 June 2010 and 6.5 per cent to 7.9 per cent at 31 December 2010 depending on the type of investments. 

In addition to the items discussed above, for US insurance operations, included within the statement of comprehensive income is an increase in net unrealised gains on debt securities classified as available-for-sale of £237 million (half year 2010: £1,144 million; full year 2010: £1,221 million). Temporary market value movements do not reflect defaults or impairments. Additional details on the movement in the value of the Jackson portfolio are included in note V.

(iv)    UK insurance operations

The short-term fluctuations gain for UK insurance operations of £44 million (half year 2010: £93 million; full year 2010: £116 million) reflected principally asset value movements for shareholder-backed annuity business.

(v)     Other

         Short-term fluctuations of other operations arise from:

G    Costs of terminated AIA transaction in 2010

The following costs were incurred in the first six months of 2010 in relation to the proposed, and subsequently terminated, transaction to purchase AIA Group Limited and related rights issue.

	2010

Of the £377 million total costs before tax, the £100 million associated with foreign exchange hedging has been recorded within 'Investment return' and the other £277 million has been recorded as 'Other expenditure' within 'Acquisition costs and other expenditure' in the condensed consolidated income statement.

H    Change to the Group's holding in PruHealth in 2010

On 1 August 2010, Discovery Holdings of South Africa, the Group's joint venture partner in its investment in PruHealth, completed the acquisition of the entire share capital of Standard Life Healthcare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Standard Life Group, for £138 million. Discovery funded the purchase of the Standard Life Healthcare transaction, and contributed Standard Life Healthcare to PruHealth as a capital investment on completion. As a result of the transaction, Discovery increased their shareholding in PruHealth from the previous level of 50 per cent to 75 per cent, and Prudential's shareholding was reduced from 50 per cent of the previous joint venture structure to 25 per cent of the new structure with the much enlarged business.

As a result of this dilution in holding and the consequential loss of control, PruHealth was reclassified from a joint venture to an associate and the entity is no longer proportionally consolidated from the date of the transaction. In accordance with IAS 31 'Interests in joint ventures' a gain of £30 million was recognised in 2010 upon the dilution, representing the difference between the fair value of the enlarged 25 per cent investment still held and the book value of the original 50 per cent investment holding.

I      Acquisition costs and other expenditure

J     Allocation of investment return between policyholders and shareholders

Investment return is attributable to policyholders and shareholders. A key feature of the accounting policies under IFRS is that the investment return included in the income statement relates to all investment assets of the Group, irrespective of whether the return is attributable to shareholders, to policyholders or to the unallocated surplus of with-profits funds, the latter two of which have no net impact on shareholders' profit. The table below provides a breakdown of the investment return for each regional operation attributable to each type of business.

			Half Year 2011	Half Year 2010	Full year 2010

Total			7,750	5,027	21,769

The returns as shown in the table above are delineated between those returns allocated to policyholders and those allocated to shareholders. In making this distinction, returns allocated to policyholders are those from investments in which shareholders have no direct economic interest, namely:

•     Unit-linked business in the UK, Asia and SAIF in the UK, for which the investment return is wholly attributable to policyholders;

•     Separate account business of US operations, the investment return of which is also wholly attributable to policyholders; and

•     With-profits business (excluding SAIF) in the UK and Asia (in which the shareholders' economic interest, and the basis of recognising IFRS basis profits, is restricted to a share of the actuarially determined surplus for distribution (in the UK ten per cent)). Except for this surplus the investment return of the with-profit funds is attributable to policyholders (through the asset-share liabilities) or the unallocated surplus, which is accounted for as a liability under IFRS 4.

The investment return related to the types of business above does not impact shareholders' profits directly. However there is an indirect impact, for example, investment-related fees or the effect of investment return on the shareholders' share of the cost of bonuses of with-profits funds.

Investment returns for unit-linked and similar products have reciprocal impact on benefits and claims, with a decrease in market returns on the attached pool of assets affecting policyholder benefits on these products. Similarly for with-profits funds there is a close correlation between increases or decreases in investment returns and the level of combined charge for policyholder benefits and movement on unallocated surplus that arises from such returns.

Shareholder returns

For shareholder-backed non-participating business of the UK (comprising PRIL and other non-linked non-participating business) and of the Asian operations, the investment return is not directly attributable to policyholders and therefore does impact shareholders' profit directly. However, it should be noted that for UK shareholder-backed annuity business, principally PRIL, where the durations of asset and liability cash flows are closely matched, the discount rate applied to measure liabilities to policyholders (under 'grandfathered' UK GAAP and under IFRS 4) reflects movements in asset yields (after allowances for the future defaults) of the backing portfolios. Therefore, the net impact on the shareholders' profits of the investment return of the assets backing liabilities of the UK shareholder-backed annuity business is after taking into account the consequential effect on the movement in policyholder liabilities.

The shareholder investment return for US operations also includes the fair value movement of the derivatives and the movement on the related liabilities of the variable annuity guarantees under Jackson's dynamic hedging programme. Changes in shareholder investment returns for US operations reflect primarily movements in the investment income, movements in the value of the derivative instruments held to manage the general account assets and liability portfolio, and realised gains and losses. However, separately, reflecting Jackson's types of business, an allocation is made to policyholders through the application of crediting rates.

The majority of the investments held to back the US non-participating business are debt securities for which the available-for-sale designation is applied for IFRS basis reporting. Under this designation the return included in the income statement reflects the aggregate of investment income and realised gains and losses (including impairment losses). However, movements in unrealised appreciation or depreciation are recognised in other comprehensive income. The return on these assets is attributable to shareholders.

K    Benefits and claims and movements in unallocated surplus of with-profits funds, net of reinsurance

Benefits and claims represent payments, including final bonuses, to policyholders in respect of maturities, surrenders and deaths plus the change in technical provisions (which primarily represents the movement in amounts owed to policyholders). Benefits and claims are amounts attributable to policyholders. The movement in unallocated surplus of with-profits funds represents the transfer to (from) the unallocated surplus each year through a (charge) credit to the income statement of the annual excess (shortfall) of income over expenditure of the with-profits funds, after declaration and attribution of the cost of bonuses to policyholders and shareholders.

Benefits and claims and movements in unallocated surplus of with-profits funds net of reinsurance can be further analysed as follows:

An analysis of the total tax expense attributable to continuing operations recognised in the income statement by nature of expense is as follows:
	Half year  2011	Half year 2010	Full year 2010
	£m	£m	£m
Current tax	(440)	(157)	(91)

Total tax charge*	(395)	(160)	(636)
*The full year 2010 tax charge attributable to shareholders' returns included an exceptional tax credit of £158 million which primarily related to the impact of a settlement agreed with the UK tax authorities.
The current tax charge of £395 million includes £8 million for 2011 (half year 2010: charge of £5 million; full year 2010: charge of £13 million) in respect of the tax charge for Hong Kong. The Hong Kong current tax charge is calculated as 16.5 per cent for all periods on either (i) five per cent of the net insurance premium or (ii) the estimated assessable profits, depending on the nature of the business written.
The total tax charge comprises tax attributable to policyholders and unallocated surplus of with-profits funds, unit-linked policies and shareholders. The tax charge attributable to shareholders of £301 million for half year 2011 (half year 2010: £149 million; full year 2010: £25 million) comprises:

Total	2,120	(4,194)	2,691	(4,115)	2,188	(4,224)

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that they are regarded as recoverable, that is to the extent that, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying temporary differences can be deducted.

The taxation regimes applicable across the Group often apply separate rules to trading and capital profits and losses. The distinction between temporary differences that arise from items of either a trading or capital nature may affect the recognition of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, for the 2011 half year results and financial position at 30 June 2011, the possible tax benefit of approximately £106 million (30 June 2010: £ 267 million; 31 December 2010: £143 million), which may arise from capital losses valued at approximately £0.5 billion (30 June 2010: £1.2 billion; 31 December 2010: £0.5 billion), is sufficiently uncertain that it has not been recognised. In addition, a potential deferred tax asset of £241 million (30 June 2010: £ 361 million; 31 December 2010: £298 million), which may arise from tax losses and other potential temporary differences totalling £1.0 billion (30 June 2010: £1.4 billion; 31 December 2010: £1.2 billion) is sufficiently uncertain that it has not been recognised. Forecasts as to when these tax losses and other temporary differences are likely to be utilised indicate that they may not be utilised in the short term.

Under IAS 12, 'Income Taxes', deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability settled, based on the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or are substantively enacted at the end of the reporting periods.

As part of Finance (No.2) Act 2010, the UK government enacted a tax rate change to 27 per cent which was due to be effective from 1 April 2011. However in March 2011, the government announced a revised tax rate change to 26 per cent which was effective from 1 April 2011 after being substantively enacted on 29 March 2011. Additionally, the reduction in the UK corporation tax rate to 25 per cent from 1 April 2012 was substantively enacted on 5 July 2011 in the 2011 Finance Bill, however this has no effect on half year 2011 financial results.

The subsequent revised rate changes proposed to 23 per cent are expected to have the effect of reducing the UK with-profits and shareholder-backed business elements of the net deferred tax balances at 30 June 2011 by £57 million.

	* In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. Note C explains the effect of the change.

*The tax charge attributable to shareholders' return includes an exceptional tax credit of £158 million which primarily relates to the impact of settlement agreed with the UK tax authorities.

Notes

(i)      Expected tax rates for profit (loss) attributable to shareholders:

•     The expected tax rates shown in the table above reflect the corporation tax rates generally applied to taxable profits of the relevant country jurisdictions.

•     For Asian operations the expected tax rates reflect the corporation tax rates weighted by reference to the source of profits of operations contributing to the aggregate business result.

•     The expected tax rate for Other operations reflects the mix of business between UK and overseas operations, which are taxed at a variety of rates. The rates will fluctuate from year to year dependent on the mix of profits.

(ii)     For 2011 and 2010, the principal variances arise from a number of factors, including:

(a)  Asian long-term operations

For 2011 and 2010, profits in certain countries which are not taxable along with utilising brought forward tax losses on which no deferred tax assets were previously recognised partly offset by the inability to fully recognise deferred tax assets on losses being carried forward.

(b)  Jackson

For half year 2011 and 2010, the benefit of a deduction from taxable income of a proportion of dividends received attributable to the variable annuity business.

(c)  UK insurance operations

For half year 2011 the effect of the reduction in UK corporation tax rate on deferred tax liabilities and the different tax bases of UK life business, partially offset by routine revisions to prior period tax returns. For half year and full year 2010, routine revisions to prior period tax returns and different tax bases of UK life business.

(d)  Other operations

For half year 2011 the effect of the reduction in UK corporation tax rate on deferred tax assets, partially offset by revisions to prior period. For full year 2010, an exceptional tax credit which primarily relates to the impact of the settlement agreed with the UK tax authorities and the ability to recognise a deferred tax credit on various tax losses which we were previously unable to recognise, partly offset by the inability to fully recognise a tax credit in respect of non deductible capital costs incurred in relation to the terminated AIA transaction. For half year 2010, the inability to fully recognise a tax credit in respect of non-deductible capital costs incurred in relation to the terminated AIA transaction.

(iii)       Operating profit based on longer-term investment returns is net of attributable restructuring costs and development expenses. Related tax charges are determined on the basis of current taxation legislation.

Interim dividends are recorded in the period in which they are paid. Final dividends are recorded in the period in which they are approved by shareholders. The final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2010 of 17.24 pence per ordinary share was paid to eligible shareholders on 26 May 2011.

The 2011 interim dividend of 7.95 pence per ordinary share will be paid on 22 September 2011 in sterling to shareholders on the principal register and the Irish branch register at 6.00 p.m. BST on Friday, 19 August 2011 (the 'Record Date'), and in Hong Kong dollars to shareholders on the Hong Kong branch register at 4.30 p.m. Hong Kong time on the Record Date ('HK Shareholders'). Holders of US American Depositary Receipts ('US Shareholders') will be paid their dividends in US dollars on or about five days after the payment date of the dividend to shareholders on the principal register. The final dividend will be paid on or about 29 September 2011 in Singapore dollars to shareholders with shares standing to the credit of their securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte.) Limited ('CDP') at 5.00 p.m. Singapore time on the Record Date ('SG Shareholders'). The dividend payable to the HK Shareholders will be translated using the exchange rate quoted by the WM Company at the close of business on 4 August 2011. The exchange rate at which the dividend payable to the SG Shareholders will be translated into SG$ will be determined by CDP. The dividend will distribute an estimated £203 million of shareholders' funds.

In line with full year 2010, shareholders on the principal register and Irish branch register will be able to participate in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).

Notes

(i)      For the purposes of this table and subsequent explanation, references to the WPSF also include, for convenience, the amounts attaching to the Defined Charges Participating Sub-fund which comprises 3.5 per cent of the total assets of the WPSF and includes the with-profits annuity business transferred to Prudential from the Equitable Life Assurance Society on 1 December 2007 (with assets of approximately £1.7 billion). Profits to shareholders on this with-profits annuity business emerge on a 'charges less expenses' basis and policyholders are entitled to 100 per cent of the investment earnings.

(ii)     SAIF is a separate sub-fund within the PAC long-term business fund.

(iii)    Wholly-owned subsidiary of the PAC WPSF that writes annuity business.

(iv)    Excluding policyholder liabilities of the Hong Kong branch of PAC.

(v)     Other investments comprise:

Derivative assets*	841	1,370	926

*                                                                                                                                                                     In the UK, Prudential uses derivatives to reduce equity and credit risk, interest rate and currency exposures, and to facilitate efficient portfolio management. After derivative liabilities of £909 million (30 June 2010: £868 million; 31 December 2010: £792 million), which are also included in the statement of financial position, the overall derivative position was a net liability of £68 million (30 June 2010: net asset of £502 million; 31 December 2010: net asset of £134 million).

** Partnerships in investment pools and other comprise mainly investments held by the PAC with-profits fund. These investments are primarily investments in limited partnerships and additionally, investments in property funds.

(vi)    Unallocated surplus of with-profits funds

         Prudential's long-term business written in the UK comprises predominantly life insurance policies under which the policyholders are entitled to participate in the returns of the funds supporting these policies. Business similar to this type is also written in certain of the Group's Asian operations, subject to local market and regulatory conditions. Such policies are called with-profits policies. Prudential maintains with-profits funds within the Group's long-term business funds, which segregate the assets and liabilities and accumulate the returns related to that with-profits business. The amounts accumulated in these with-profits funds are available to provide for future policyholder benefit provisions and for bonuses to be distributed to with-profits policyholders. The bonuses, both annual and final, reflect the right of the with-profits policyholders to participate in the financial performance of the with-profits funds. Shareholders' profits with respect to bonuses declared on with-profits business correspond to the shareholders' share of the cost of bonuses as declared by the Board of Directors. The shareholders' share currently represents one-ninth of the cost of bonuses declared for with-profits policies.

         The unallocated surplus represents the excess of assets over policyholder liabilities for the Group's with-profits funds. As allowed under IFRS 4, the Group has opted to continue to record unallocated surplus of with-profits funds wholly as a liability. The annual excess (shortfall) of income over expenditure of the with-profits funds, after declaration and attribution of the cost of bonuses to policyholders and shareholders, is transferred to (from) the unallocated surplus each year through a (charge) credit to the income statement. The balance retained in the unallocated surplus represents cumulative income arising on the with-profits business that has not been allocated to policyholders or shareholders. The balance of the unallocated surplus is determined after full provision for deferred tax on unrealised appreciation of investments.

* In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. Note C explains the effect of this change.

R   Deferred acquisition costs and other intangible assets attributable to shareholders

Significant costs are incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business. Except for acquisition costs of with-profits contracts of the UK regulated with-profits funds, which are accounted for under the realistic FSA regime, these costs, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of new business, are capitalised and amortised against margins in future revenues on the related insurance policies. The recoverability of the asset is measured and the asset is deemed impaired if the projected future margins are less than the carrying value of the asset. To the extent that the future margins differ from those anticipated, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the deferred acquisition cost asset will be necessary.

The deferral and amortisation of acquisition costs is of most relevance to the Group's results for shareholder-financed long-term business of Jackson and Asian operations. The majority of the UK shareholder-backed business is individual and group annuity business where the incidence of acquisition costs is negligible.

Overview of the deferral and amortisation of acquisition costs for Jackson

Under IFRS 4, the Group applies grandfathered US GAAP for measuring the insurance assets and liabilities of Jackson. In the case of Jackson term business, acquisition costs are deferred and amortised in line with expected premiums. For annuity and interest-sensitive life business, acquisition costs are deferred and amortised in line with a combination of historical and future expected gross profits on the relevant contracts. For fixed and indexed annuity and interest-sensitive life business, the key assumption is the long-term spread between the earned rate on investments and the rate credited to policyholders, which is based on an annual spread analysis. Expected gross profits also depend on mortality assumptions, assumed unit costs and terminations other than deaths (including the related charges), all of which are based on a combination of actual experience of Jackson, industry experience and future expectations. A detailed analysis of actual mortality, lapse, and expense experience is performed using internally developed experience studies.

As with fixed and indexed annuity and interest-sensitive life business, acquisition costs for Jackson's variable annuity products are amortised in line with the emergence of profits. The measurement of the amortisation in part reflects current period fees (including those for guaranteed minimum death, income, or withdrawal benefits) earned on assets covering liabilities to policyholders, and the historical and expected level of future gross profits which depends on the assumed level of future fees,as well as components related to mortality, lapse, and expense.

Mean reversion technique

Under US GAAP (as grandfathered under IFRS 4) the projected gross profits, against which  acquisition costs are amortised, reflect an assumed long-term level of equity return which, for Jackson, is 8.4 per cent after deduction of net external fund management fees. This is applied to the period end level of separate account assets after application of a mean reversion technique that removes a portion of the effect of levels of short-term variability in current market returns.

Under the mean reversion technique applied by Jackson, the projected level of return for each of the next five years is adjusted from period to period so that in combination with the actual rates of return for the preceding two years and the current year, the 8.4 per cent annual return is realised on average over the entire eight year period. Projected returns after the mean reversion period revert back to the 8.4 per cent assumption.

However, to ensure that the methodology does not over anticipate a reversion to trend following adverse markets, the mean reversion technique has a cap and floor feature whereby the projected returns in each of the next five years can be no more than 15 per cent per annum and no less than 0 per cent per annum (both gross of asset management fees) in each year. The capping feature was relevant in late 2008, 2009 and 2010 due to the very sharp market falls in 2008.

Sensitivity of amortisation charge

The amortisation charge to the income statement is reflected in operating profit and short-term fluctuations in investment returns. The amortisation charge to the operating profit in a reporting period comprises

i)       a core amount that reflects a relatively stable proportion of underlying profits; and

ii)      an element of acceleration or deceleration arising from market movements differing from expectations.

In periods where the cap and floor feature of the mean reversion technique are not relevant, the technique operates to dampen the second element above. Nevertheless, extreme market movements can cause material acceleration or deceleration of amortisation in spite of this dampening effect.

Further, in those periods where the cap or floor is relevant, the mean reversion technique provides no further dampening and additional volatility may result.

In 2008, the application of the mean reversion technique benefitted the results by £110 million. In 2009 and 2010, whilst the cap was in effect, any accelerated or decelerated amortisation reflected the difference between market returns for the period and the assumed level of 15 per cent.

Half year 2011

In half year 2011, the DAC amortisation charge included in operating profit includes £82 million of accelerated amortisation. This amount reflects the combined effect of

i)       market returns in the period being lower than those assumed for the period; and

ii)      the reduction in the previously assumed future rates of return for the upcoming 5 years from 15 per cent, to a level nearer the middle of the corridor (of 0 per cent and 15 per cent), so that in combination with the historical returns, the 8-year average in the mean reversion calculation is the 8.4 per cent long-term assumption.

The reduction in assumed future rates reflects in large part the elimination, from the calculation in 2011, of the 2008 negative returns. Setting aside other complications and the growth in the book, the 2011 accelerated amortisation can be broadly equated as 'paying back' the benefit enjoyed in 2008.

Full year 2011

Consistent with the features noted for the half year 2011 level of accelerated amortisation, the charge for full year 2011 will be sensitive to the combined effect of

(i)      the separate account performance in the period as it compares with the assumed level for the second half of the year; and

(ii)     the consequential effect of adjustments to the projected rates of return for the future 5 years under the mean reversion methodology as they are updated from those applying at 30 June 2011.

On the assumption that market returns for 2011 are within the range of negative 15 per cent to positive 15 per cent, the estimated DAC acceleration for full year 2011 is estimated to be £240 million to £150 million.

S     Valuation bases for Group assets

The accounting carrying values of the Group's assets reflect the requirements of IFRS. For financial investments the basis of valuation reflects the Group's application of IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' as described further below. The basis applied for the assets section of the statement of financial position at 30 June 2011 is summarised below:

Notes

(i)      The Group has classified deposits and cash and cash equivalents as loans and receivables under IAS 39. These are carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position. There is no difference between their carrying values and fair values. Including these amounts as being at their fair values, the percentage of the Group's total assets held on the statement of financial position which were at fair value at 30 June 2011 was 91 per cent (30 June 2010: 90 per cent; 31 December 2010: 91 per cent).

(ii)     Assets carried at cost or amortised cost are subject to impairment testing where appropriate under IFRS requirements. This category also includes assets which are valued by reference to specific IFRS standards such as reinsurers' share of insurance contract liabilities, deferred tax assets and investments accounted for under the equity method.

(iii)    These assets comprise financial instruments requiring fair value valuation under IAS 39 with a value of £214.6 billion (30 June 2010: £192.1 billion; 31 December 2010: £209.0 billion).

(iv)    Realised gains and losses on the Group's investments for half year 2011 amounted to a net gain of £2.5 billion (half year 2010: £0.1 billion; full year £3.1 billion)

Determination of fair value

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group have been determined on the following bases.

The fair values of the financial instruments for which fair valuation is required under IFRS are determined by the use of current market bid prices for exchange-quoted investments, or by using quotations from independent third-parties, such as brokers and pricing services or by using appropriate valuation techniques. Investments valued using valuation techniques include financial investments which by their nature do not have an externally quoted price based on regular trades and financial investments for which markets are no longer active as a result of market conditions e.g. market illiquidity. The valuation techniques used include comparison to recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option adjusted spread models and, if applicable, enterprise valuation. These techniques may include a number of assumptions relating to variables such as credit risk and interest rates. Changes in assumptions relating to these variables could positively or negatively impact the reported fair value of these instruments. When determining the inputs into the valuation techniques used priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources when available, but overall the source of pricing is chosen with the objective of arriving at a fair value measurement which reflects the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants on the measurement date.

The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon available market information and judgments about the financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Group's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realisation of unrealised gains or losses from selling the financial instrument being fair valued. In some cases the disclosed value cannot be realised in immediate settlement of the financial instrument.

The loans and receivables have been shown net of provisions for impairment. The fair value of loans has been estimated from discounted cash flows expected to be received. The rate of discount used was the market rate of interest.

The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments reflects the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay in an arm's length transaction. This amount is determined using quoted prices if exchange listed, quotations from independent third-parties or valued internally using standard market practices. In accordance with the Group's risk management framework, all internally generated valuations are subject to assessment against external counterparties' valuations.

For investment contracts in the US with fixed and guaranteed terms the fair value is determined based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current interest rates.

The fair value of other financial liabilities is determined using discounted cash flows of the amounts expected to be paid.

Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurement hierarchy of Group financial instruments           

The table below includes financial instruments carried at fair value analysed by level of the IFRS 7 defined fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy is based on the inputs to the fair value measurement and reflects the lowest level input that is significant to that measurement. The classification criteria and its application to Prudential is consistent with that set out in the full year 2010 Annual Report and is summarised below.

The classification criteria and its application to Prudential can be summarised as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 1 includes financial instruments where there is clear evidence that the valuation is based on a traded price in an active market (e.g. exchange listed equities, mutual funds with quoted prices and exchange traded derivatives.)

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 2 includes investments where a direct link to an actively traded price is not readily apparent, but which are valued using inputs which are largely observable. A significant proportion of the Group's level 2 assets are corporate bonds, structured securities and other non-national government debt securities. These assets, in line with market practice, are generally valued using independent pricing services or third-party broker quotes.

Of the total level 2 debt securities of £ 89,051 million at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: £87,440 million; 31 December 2010: £89,948 million), £ 6,644 million are valued internally (30 June 2010: £6,862 million; 31 December 2010: £6,638 million). The majority of such securities are valued using matrix pricing, which is based on assessing the credit quality of the underlying borrower to derive a suitable discount rate relative to government securities of a comparable duration. Under matrix pricing, the debt securities are priced taking the credit spreads on comparable quoted public debt securities and applying these to the equivalent debt instruments factoring a specified liquidity premium. The majority of the parameters used in this valuation technique are readily observable in the market and, therefore, are not subject to interpretation.

Level 3 - Significant inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

Level 3 includes investments which are internally valued or subject to a significant number of unobservable assumptions (e.g. private equity funds and certain derivatives which are bespoke or long dated).

Of the £ 699 million level 3 fair valued financial investments, net of derivative liabilities at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: £892 million; 31 December 2010: £866 million), which support non-linked shareholder-backed business (representing 1.2 per cent of the total fair valued financial investments net of derivative liabilities backing this business (30 June 2010: 1.6 per cent; 31 December 2010: 1.6 per cent)), £ 745 million of net assets are externally valued and £ (46) million of net liabilities are internally valued (30 June 2010: net assets of  £817 million and £75 million; 31 December 2010: net assets of  £728 million and £138 million respectively). Internal valuations, which represent (0.1) per cent of the total fair valued financial investments net of derivative liabilities supporting non-linked shareholder-backed business at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: 0.1 per cent; 31 December 2010: 0.2 per cent), are inherently more subjective than external valuations.

Transfers between levels

During half year 2011, transfers from level 1 to 2 within the Group's portfolio amounted to £64 million. Transfers from level 2 to level 3 amounted to £38 million and transfers from level 3 to level 2 amounted to £105 million. These transfers which relate to equity securities and debt securities arose to reflect the change in the observability of the inputs used in valuing these securities.

Total US insurance operations loans	4,062	4,537	4,201

^†   All of the mortgage loans are commercial mortgage loans which are collateralised by properties. The property types are mainly industrial, multi-family residential, suburban office, retail and hotel. The breakdown by property type is as follows:

		30 Jun 2011	30 Jun 2010	31 Dec 2010
		%	%	%

	Hotels	10	10	10
	Other	1	1	1
		100	100	100

The US insurance operations' commercial mortgage loan portfolio does not include any single-family residential mortgage loans and is therefore not exposed to the risk of defaults associated with residential sub-prime mortgage loans. The average loan size is £6.3 million (30 June 2010: £7.1 million; 31 December 2010: £6.6 million). The portfolio has a current estimated average loan to value of 72 per cent (30 June 2010: 72 per cent; 31 December 2010: 73 per cent) which provides significant cushion to withstand substantial declines in value.

^††       The policy loans are fully secured by individual life insurance policies or annuity policies. These loans are accounted for at amortised cost, less any impairment.

Where no external ratings are available, internal ratings produced by the Group's asset management operation, which are prepared on the Company's assessment of a comparable basis to external ratings, are used where possible. The £7,607 million total debt securities held at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: £7,258 million; 31 December 2010: £7,258 million) which are not externally rated are either internally rated or unrated. These are analysed as follows:

		30 Jun 2011 £m	30 Jun 2010 £m	31 Dec 2010 £m
Internal ratings or unrated:
	AAA to A-	2,276	2,289	2,210
	BBB to B-	3,791	3,529	3,861
	Below B- or unrated	1,540	1,440	1,187
	Total	7,607	7,258	7,258

The majority of unrated debt security investments were held in SAIF and the PAC with-profits fund and relate to convertible debt and other investments which are not covered by ratings analysts nor have an internal rating attributed to them. Of the £1,728 million PRIL and other annuity and long-term business investments which are not externally rated, £7 million were internally rated AAA, £130 million AA, £504 million A, £854 million BBB, £83 million BB and £150 million were internally rated B+ and below or unrated.

During the period Standard and Poor's withdrew its ratings of debt securities issued by a number of Sovereigns. Where these are no longer available Moody's ratings have been used. This primarily impacts the UK and Asia insurance operations.

(ii)     US insurance operations

US insurance operations held total debt securities with a carrying value of £25,286 million at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: £27,371 million; 31 December 2010: £26,366 million). The table below provides information relating to the credit risk of the aforementioned debt securities.

In the table above, with the exception of some residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities for 2010, S&P ratings have been used where available. For securities where S&P ratings are not immediately available, those produced by Moody's and then Fitch have been used as an alternative.

During 2009 and 2010, the NAIC in the US revised the regulatory rating process for mortgage-backed securities. The table above includes these securities, where held by Jackson, using the regulatory rating levels established by external third parties (PIMCO for residential mortgage-backed securities and BlackRock Solutions for commercial mortgage-backed securities).

*The amounts within Other which are not rated by S&P, Moody's or Fitch, nor are MBS securities using the revised regulatory ratings, have the following NAIC classifications:

V     Debt securities of US insurance operations: Valuation basis, accounting presentation of gains and losses and securities in an unrealised loss position

(i)     Valuation basis

Under IAS 39, unless categorised as 'held to maturity' or 'loans and receivables' debt securities are required to be fair valued. Where available, quoted market prices are used. However, where securities do not have an externally quoted price based on regular trades or where markets for the securities are no longer active as a result of market conditions, IAS 39 requires that valuation techniques be applied. IFRS 7 requires classification of the fair values applied by the Group into a three level hierarchy. At 30 June 2011, 0.1 per cent of Jackson's debt securities were classified as level 3 (30 June 2010: 0.3 per cent; 31 December 2010: 0.3 per cent) comprising of fair values where there are significant inputs which are not based on observable market data.

(ii)    Accounting presentation of gains and losses

With the exception of debt securities of US insurance operations classified as 'available-for-sale' under IAS 39, unrealised value movements on the Group's investments are booked within the income statement. For with-profits operations, such value movements are reflected in changes to asset share liabilities to policyholders or the liability for unallocated surplus. For shareholder-backed operations, the unrealised value movements form part of the total return for the year booked in the profit before tax attributable to shareholders. Separately, as noted elsewhere and in note C in this report, and as applied previously, the Group provides an analysis of this profit distinguishing operating profit based on longer-term investment returns and short-term fluctuations in investment returns.

However, for debt securities classified as 'available-for-sale', unless impaired, fair value movements are recognised in other comprehensive income. Realised gains and losses, including impairments, recorded in the income statement are as shown in note F of this report. This classification is applied for most of the debt securities of the Group's US insurance operations.

(iii)   Half year 2011 movements in unrealised gains and losses

In half year 2011 there was a movement in the statement of financial position value for debt securities classified as available-for-sale from a net unrealised gain of £1,210 million to a net unrealised gain of £1,419 million. This increase primarily reflects the decrease in US Treasury rates. The gross unrealised gain in the statement of financial position increased from £1,580 million at 31 December 2010 to £1,685 million at 30 June 2011, while the gross unrealised loss decreased from £370 million at 31 December 2010 to £266 million at 30 June 2011.

These features are included in the table shown below of the movements in the values of available-for-sale securities.

Notes

(i)     The maturity profile, currencies and interest rates applicable to the core structural borrowings of shareholder-financed operations of the Group are as detailed in note H13 of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. Other than the changes described in notes (ii) and (iv) below, there are no changes affecting these core structural borrowings in the half year 2011.

(ii)    These debt classifications are consistent with the treatment of capital for regulatory purposes, as defined in the FSA handbook. In January 2011, the Company issued US$550 million 7.75 per cent Tier 1 subordinated debt, primarily to retail investors. The proceeds, net of costs, were US$539 million (£340 million) and are intended to finance the repayments of the €500 million Tier 2 subordinated debt in December 2011. 

         The Group has designated US$2.85 billion (30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010: US$2.3 billion) of its Tier 1 subordinated debt as a net investment hedge under IAS 39 to hedge the currency risks related to the net investment in Jackson.

(iii)   The senior debt ranks above subordinated debt in the event of liquidation.

(iv)   The £250 million PruCap bank loan was made in December 2010 in two tranches: £135 million maturing in June 2014, currently drawn at a cost of twelve month £LIBOR plus 1.2 per cent and £115 million maturing in August 2012, currently drawn at a cost of six month £LIBOR plus 0.99 per cent. Prior to 20 June 2011, the £115 million tranche was drawn at a cost of six month £LIBOR plus 1.41 per cent.

(v)    Including central finance subsidiaries.

Note

(i)      In addition to the debt listed above, £200 million Floating Rate Notes were issued by Prudential plc in April 2011 which mature in October 2011. These Notes have been wholly subscribed to by a Group subsidiary and accordingly have been eliminated on consolidation in the Group financial statements. These Notes were originally issued in October 2008 and have been reissued upon their maturity.

(ii)     Other borrowings include amounts whose repayment to the lender is contingent upon future surpluses emerging from certain contracts specified under the arrangement. If insufficient surplus emerges on those contracts, there is no recourse to other assets of the Group and the liability is not payable to the degree of shortfall.

Further, the Group has chosen to designate as a fair value hedge under IAS 39 certain fixed to floating rate swaps which hedge the fair value exposures interest rate movements of these borrowings.

Y     Defined benefit pension schemes

The Group liability in respect of defined benefit pension schemes is as follows:
		30 Jun 2011	30 Jun 2010	31 Dec 2010
		£m	£m	£m
Economic position:
	Deficit, gross of deferred tax, based on scheme assets held, including investments in Prudential insurance policies:
	Attributable to the PAC with-profits fund (i.e. absorbed by the liability for unallocated surplus)	(74)	(120)	(106)
	Attributable to shareholder-backed operations (i.e. shareholders' equity)	(65)	(140)	(114)
Economic deficit		(139)	(260)	(220)
Exclude: investments in Prudential insurance liabilities (offset on consolidation in the Group financial statements against insurance liabilities)		(222)	(198)	(227)
Deficit under IAS 19 included in Provisions in the statement of financial position		(361)	(458)	(447)

The Group business operations operate a number of pension schemes. The largest defined benefit scheme is the principal UK scheme, namely the Prudential Staff Pension Scheme (PSPS). In the UK, the Group also operates two smaller defined benefit schemes for employees in respect of Scottish Amicable and M&G. For all three schemes the projected unit method was used for the most recent full actuarial valuations. There is also a small defined benefit pension scheme in Taiwan.                 

The underlying position on an economic basis reflects the assets (including investments in Prudential policies that are offset against liabilities to policyholders on the Group consolidation) and the liabilities of the schemes. The investments in Prudential policies comprise £121 million (30 June 2010: £94 million; 31 December 2010: £118 million) for PSPS and £222 million (30 June 2010: £198 million; 31 December 2010: £227 million) for the M&G pension scheme.

Separately, the economic financial position also includes the effect of the application of IFRIC 14, 'IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction'. Under IFRIC 14, for PSPS, where the Group does not have unconditional right of refund to any surplus in the scheme due to constraints in the trust deed to prevent the company access, the surplus is not recognised. Additionally, the Group has to recognise a liability for committed deficit funding obligation to PSPS.

Accordingly, at 30 June 2011, the Group has not recognised the underlying PSPS surplus of £858 million, gross of deferred tax (30 June 2010: £309 million; 31 December 2010: £485 million) and has recognised a liability for deficit funding to 30 June 2012 for PSPS of £35 million gross of deferred tax (30 June 2010: £62 million; 31 December 2010: £47 million).

Defined benefit schemes in the UK are generally required to be subject to full actuarial valuation every three years in order to assess the appropriate level of funding for schemes in relation to their commitments. These valuations include assessments of the likely rate of return on the assets held within the separate trustee administered funds. PSPS was last actuarially valued as at 5 April 2008. This valuation demonstrated the scheme to be 106 per cent funded by reference to the Scheme Solvency Target that forms the basis of the scheme's statutory funding objective. No formal deficit plan was required. However, in recognition of the fall in value of the Scheme's investments between 5 April 2008 and the completion of the actuarial valuation, an additional funding akin to deficit funding was agreed by the Trustees. This is subject to a reassessment when the next valuation is completed. The total contributions being currently made by the Group into the scheme, representing the annual accrual cost and deficit funding, are £50 million per annum. Deficit funding for PSPS is apportioned in the ratio of 70/30 between the PAC with-profits fund and shareholder-backed operations following detailed consideration in 2005 of the sourcing of previous contributions. Employer contributions for ongoing service of current employees are apportioned in the ratio relevant to current activity.

The valuation of the Scottish Amicable Pension Scheme as at 31 March 2008 demonstrated the scheme to be 91 per cent funded. Based on this valuation, deficit funding amounts designed to eliminate the actuarial deficit over a seven year period were made from July 2009 of £7.3 million per annum. Since the valuation date, there has been deterioration in the funding level.  During 2010, the Group agreed to pay additional funding of £5.8 million per annum from October 2010 until the conclusion of the next formal valuation, or until the funding level reaches 90 per cent, whichever is the earlier. The IAS 19 deficit of the Scottish Amicable Pension Scheme at 30 June 2011 of £99 million (30 June 2010: £154 million; 31 December 2010: £146 million) has been allocated approximately 50 per cent to the PAC with-profits fund and 50 per cent to the shareholders' fund.

The valuation of the M&G pension scheme as at 31 December 2008 was finalised in January 2010 and demonstrated the scheme to be 76 per cent funded. Based on this valuation, deficit funding amounts designed to eliminate the actuarial deficit over a five year period have been made from January 2010 of £14.1 million per annum for the first two years and £9.3 million per annum for the subsequent three years. The IAS 19 deficit of the M&G pension scheme on an economic basis at 30 June 2011 was £5 million (30 June 2010: £44 million; 31 December 2010: £27 million) and is wholly attributable to shareholders.

The next triennial valuations for the PSPS and Scottish Amicable as at 5 April 2011 and 31 March 2011 respectively are currently in progress. The next triennial valuation for the M&G pension scheme is as at 31 December 2011.

(i)     Assumptions

The actuarial assumptions used in determining benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs for the period ended 30 June 2011 were as follows:

		30 Jun 2011 %	30 Jun 2010 %	31 Dec 2010 %
Discount rate*		5.6	5.4	5.45
Rate of increase in salaries		5.7	5.4	5.55
Rate of inflation***
	Retail Price Index (RPI)	3.7	3.4	3.55
	Consumer Price Index (CPI)	2.7	n/a	n/a
Rate of increase of pensions in payment for inflation:
	Guaranteed (maximum 5%)	2.7	3.4	3.55
	Guaranteed (maximum 2.5%)**	2.5	2.5	2.5
	Discretionary**	2.5	2.5	2.5
Expected returns on plan assets		5.1	5.9	5.9

*    The discount rate has been determined by reference to an 'AA' corporate bond index adjusted, where applicable, to allow for the difference in duration between the index and the pension liabilities.

**  The rates of 2.5 per cent are those for PSPS. Assumed rates of increase of pensions in payments for inflation for all other schemes are 2.7 per cent for 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: 3.4 per cent; 31 December 2010: 3.55 per cent).

***The rate of inflation for the period ended 30 June 2011 reflects the long-term assumption for the UK RPI or CPI depending on the tranche of the schemes. For prior periods it reflects the long term assumption for the UK RPI. See explanation below.

The calculations are based on current actuarially calculated mortality estimates with a specific allowance made for future improvements in mortality. The specific allowance for half year 2011 and full year 2010 is in line with a custom calibration of the 2009 mortality model from the Continuous Mortality Investigation Bureau of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries ('CMI'). The specific allowance for half year 2010 was broadly based on adjusted versions of the medium cohort projections prepared by the CMI.

The tables used for PSPS immediate annuities in payment at 30 June 2011 were:

Male: 108.6 per cent PNMA 00 with improvements in line with a custom calibration of the CMIs 2009 mortality model, with a long-term mortality improvement rate of 1.75 per cent per annum; and

Female: 103.4 per cent PNFA 00 with improvements in line with a custom calibration of the CMIs 2009 mortality model, with a long-term mortality improvement rate of 1.00 per cent per annum.

In July 2010, the UK Government announced plans to use the CPI in place of the RPI in its determination of the statutory minimum pension increases for private sector occupational pension schemes. In December 2010, the Government published the statutory revaluation order for 2011 which confirms the change to use CPI.  Further, in December 2010, the Government consulted on the impact of the switch from RPI to CPI on the private sector occupational pension schemes. In its response following the consultation published in June 2011, the Government confirmed that it would not introduce legislation to override scheme rules which provide for pension increases/revaluation on a basis that is higher than the statutory minimum.

For the Group's UK defined benefit schemes, the pensions in deferment and/or pensions in payment for certain tranches of these schemes are subject to statutory increases in accordance with the schemes rules and are therefore affected by the Government's decision to change the indexation from RPI to CPI. Other tranches, where RPI is specified in the scheme rules, are unaffected.

During 2011, the pension schemes communicated to their members the changes in basis from RPI to CPI in light of the Government announcement. The impact of this change in the six months ended 30 June 2011 was an accounting benefit of £42 million to the Group's operating profit based on longer-term investment returns and profit attributable to shareholders before tax and £31 million to shareholders' equity. There was no impact on the results for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Notes

(i)   RPI/CPI inflation measure change

The £282 million credit shown above comprises £216 million for PSPS and £66 million for other schemes. As noted earlier, the PSPS scheme surplus is not recognised for accounting purposes due to the application of IFRIC 14. The £66 million for other schemes (as shown in the table below) is allocated as £24 million to PAC with-profits fund and £42 million to shareholders referred to in note C.

(ii)  The net credit (charge) to operating profit (gross of the share attributable to the PAC with-profits fund) of £46 million (half year 2010: (£23 million); full year 2010: (£45 million)) is made up the following:

	Half year 2011	Half year 2010	Full year 2010
	£m	£m	£m
Underlying IAS 19 charge for other pension schemes	(9)	(9)	(18)
Cash costs for PSPS	(10)	(12)	(23)
Unwind of discount on opening provision for deficit funding for PSPS	(1)	(2)	(4)
Negative past service cost - RPI to CPI inflation measure change (note (i) to table above)	66	-	-
	46	(23)	(45)

Consistent with the derecognition of the Company's interest in the underlying IAS 19 surplus of PSPS, the charge to operating profit based on longer-term investment returns for PSPS reflects the cash cost of contributions for ongoing service of active members. In addition, the charge to the operating results also includes a charge for the unwind of discount on the opening provision for deficit funding for PSPS.

(b)     The components of the credit (charge) for actuarial and other gains and losses (gross of allocation of the share attributable to the PAC with-profits fund) are as follows:

	Half year 2011	Half year 2010	Full year 2010
	£m	£m	£m
Actual less expected return on assets	65	39	306
Gains (losses) on changes of assumptions for plan liabilities	69	(302)	(411)
Experience losses on liabilities	(5)	(2)	(4)
Total charge without the effect of IFRIC 14	129	(265)	(109)
Effect of IFRIC 14 for pension schemes	(141)	234	94
Actuarial and other gains and losses after the effect of IFRIC 14	(12)	(31)	(15)

The net charge for actuarial and other gains and losses is recorded within the income statement but, within the segmental analysis of profit, the shareholders' share of actuarial and other gains and losses (i.e. net of allocation of the share to the PAC with-profits funds) is excluded from operating profit based on longer-term investment returns.

The half year 2011 actuarial gains of £129 million (gross of allocation of share to the PAC with-profits funds and before the application of IFRIC 14) primarily reflects the effect of the excess of market returns over long-term assumptions combined with the effect of changes in economic assumptions. 

Consistent with the derecognition of the Company's interest in the underlying IAS 19 surplus of PSPS, the actuarial gains and losses do not include those of PSPS. In addition, as a result of applying IFRIC 14, the Group has recognised a provision for deficit funding in respect of PSPS. The change in half year 2011 in relation to this provision was £(4) million (half year and full year 2010: £nil) and is recognised as other gains and losses within the £(12) million of actuarial and other gains and losses shown above.

(c)     On the 'economic basis', after including the underlying assets represented by the investments in Prudential insurance policies as scheme assets, the underlying statements of financial position of the schemes at 30 June were:

(iii)   Sensitivity of the pension scheme liabilities to key variables

The total underlying Group pension scheme liabilities of £5,400 million (30 June 2010: £5,526 million; 31 December 2010: £5,692 million) comprise £4,612 million (30 June 2010: £4,745 million; 31 December 2010: £4,866 million) for PSPS and £788 million (30 June 2010: £781 million; 31 December 2010: £826 million) for the other schemes. The table below shows the sensitivity of the underlying PSPS and the other scheme liabilities at 30 June 2011, 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010 to changes in discount rate, inflation rates and mortality rates.

30 June 2011
Assumption	Change in assumption	Impact on scheme liabilities on IAS 19 basis
Discount rate	Decrease by 0.2% from 5.6% to 5.4%	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.5%
			Other schemes	5.0%
Discount rate	Increase by 0.2% from 5.6% to 5.8%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.3%
			Other schemes	4.6%
Rate of inflation	RPI: Decrease by 0.2% from 3.7% to 3.5%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
	CPI: Decrease by 0.2% from 2.7% to 2.5%		PSPS	1.1%
	with consequent reduction in salary increases		Other schemes	4.7%
Mortality rate	Increase life expectancy by 1 year	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	2.1%
			Other schemes	2.6%

30 June 2010
Assumption	Change in assumption	Impact on scheme liabilities on IAS 19 basis
Discount rate	Decrease by 0.2% from 5.4% to 5.2%	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.5%
			Other schemes	5.1%
Discount rate	Increase by 0.2% from 5.4% to 5.6%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.4%
			Other schemes	4.8%
Rate of inflation	RPI: Decrease by 0.2% from 3.4% to 3.2%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
	with consequent reduction in salary		PSPS	1.0%
	increases		Other schemes	4.9%
Mortality rate	Increase life expectancy by 1 year	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	2.2%
			Other schemes	2.3%

31 December 2010
Assumption	Change in assumption	Impact on scheme liabilities on IAS 19 basis
Discount rate	Decrease by 0.2% from 5.45% to 5.25%	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.6%
			Other schemes	5.2%
Discount rate	Increase by 0.2% from 5.45% to 5.65%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	3.5%
			Other schemes	4.8%
Rate of inflation	RPI: Decrease by 0.2% from 3.55% to 3.35%	Decrease in scheme liabilities by:
	with consequent reduction in salary		PSPS	1.0%
	increases		Other schemes	4.9%
Mortality rate	Increase life expectancy by 1 year	Increase in scheme liabilities by:
			PSPS	2.1%
			Other schemes	2.6%

The sensitivity of the underlying pension scheme liabilities to changes in discount, inflation and mortality rates as shown above does not directly equate to an impact on the profit or loss attributable to shareholders or shareholders' equity due to the effect of the application of IFRIC 14 on PSPS and the allocation of a share of the interest in financial position of the PSPS and Scottish Amicable schemes to the PAC with-profits fund as described above.

The sensitivity to the changes in the key variables as shown in the table above has no significant impact on the pension costs included in the Group's operating results. This is due to the pension costs charged in each of the periods presented being derived largely from market conditions at the beginning of the period. After applying IFRIC 14 and to the extent attributable to shareholders, any residual impact from the changes to these variables is reflected as actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension schemes within the supplementary analysis of profits. The relevance of this is described further below.

For PSPS, the underlying surplus of the scheme of £858 million (30 June 2010: £309 million; 31 December 2010: £485 million) has not been recognised under IFRIC 14. Any change in the underlying scheme liabilities to the extent that it is not sufficient to alter PSPS into a liability in excess of the deficit funding provision will not have an impact on the Group's results and financial position. Based on the underlying financial position of PSPS as at 30 June 2011, none of the changes to the underlying scheme liabilities for the changes in the variables shown in the table above have had an impact on the Group's half year 2011 results and financial position.

In the event that a change in the PSPS scheme liabilities results in a deficit position for the scheme which is recognisable, the deficit recognised affects the Group's results and financial position only to the extent of the amounts attributable to shareholder operations. The amounts attributable to the PAC with-profits fund are absorbed by the liability for unallocated surplus and have no direct effect on the profit or loss attributable to shareholders or shareholders' equity.

The deficit of the Scottish Amicable pension scheme has been allocated approximately 50 per cent to the PAC with-profits fund and 50 per cent to the shareholders. Accordingly, half of the changes to its scheme liabilities, which at 30 June 2011 were £540 million (30 June 2010: £542 million; 31 December 2010: £572 million), for the changes in the variables shown in the table above would have had an impact on the Group's shareholder results and financial position.

Notes

(a)     Net outflows decreased from £2,247 million in half year 2010 to £2,001 million in 2011, principally as a result of lower surrenders within the with-profits fund in the period.

(b)     Investment-related items and other movements of £3,632 million across fund types reflected the continued strong performance of UK equity markets in 2011, as well as investment gains on bonds and property.

(c)     Assumption changes in 2010 principally represent the net impact of changes to the mortality assumptions and expense assumptions.

Notes

(a)     Movements in the period have been translated at an average rate of 1.62 (30 June 2010: 1.53). The closing balance has been translated at closing rate of 1.61 (30 June 2010: 1.50). Differences upon retranslation are included in foreign exchange translation differences.

(b)     Net flows for the period were £4,216 million compared with £3,471 million for the six months ended 30 June 2010, driven largely by increased new business volumes for the variable annuity business.

(c)     Positive investment-related items and other movements in variable annuity separate account liabilities of £1,103 million for the first six months ended 2011 reflect the increase in the US equity market during the period as compared to a fall in equity markets in the first half of 2010. Fixed annuity, GIC and other business investment and other movements primarily reflects the interest credited to policyholder account in the period.

Notes

(a)     Movements in the period have been translated at the average exchange rate for the six months ended 30 June 2011. The closing balance has been translated at the closing spot rates as at 30 June 2011. Differences upon retranslation are included in foreign exchange translation differences.

(b)     Net flows have increased by £128 million from £807 million in 2010 to £935 million in 2011 primarily reflecting increased flows from new business. Excluding India, net flows have increased by 24 per cent to £814 million in 2011 (2010: £658 million).

(c)     The rate of surrenders for shareholder-backed business (expressed as a percentage of opening liabilities) was 5.1 per cent in the first half of 2011, compared with 6.2 per cent in the first half and 6.4 per cent in the second half of 2010 respectively. There have been improvements in both Malaysia and Indonesia where we had experienced increased withdrawals in 2010, as policyholders took the opportunity to capitalise on the increased value of their unit-linked policies as stock markets recovered. 

(d)     Positive investment related items and other movements of £634 million in half year 2011 primarily reflects improvements in the Indonesia and Malaysia stock markets, together with positive movements within the with-profits funds including positive investment returns in Hong Kong and Singapore.

(e)     The acquisition of UOB Life Assurance Limited reflects the liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition.

(f)     At 30 June 2010, £188 million of surrenders and £9 million of maturities relating to Indian unit-linked business which had previously been netted off investment related items and other movements, have now been presented against the appropriate classifications. This change has no impact on the previously reported full year 2010 equivalent analysis.

Amounts recorded in share capital represent the nominal value of the shares issued. The difference between the proceeds received on issue of shares, net of issue costs, and the nominal value of shares issued is credited to the share premium account.

Shares issued in lieu of cash dividends in 2010 were considered to take the legal form of bonus issue shares and were accounted for as such. The scrip dividend alternative has been replaced by the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) from the 2010 final dividend.

At 30 June 2011, there were options outstanding under Save As You Earn schemes to subscribe for shares as follows:

Transactions by Prudential plc and its subsidiaries in Prudential plc shares

The Group buys and sells Prudential plc ('own shares') either in relation to its share schemes or via transactions undertaken by authorised investment funds that the Group is deemed to control. Further information about these transactions is set out below.

The cost of own shares of £82 million as at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: £61 million; 31 December 2010: £75 million) is deducted from retained earnings. The Company has established trusts to facilitate the delivery of shares under employee incentive plans and savings-related share option schemes. At 30 June 2011, 5.2 million (30 June 2010: 4.5 million; 31 December 2010: 4.5 million) Prudential plc shares with a market value of £38 million (30 June 2010: £23 million; 31 December 2010: £30 million) were held in such trusts. Of this total, 5.1 million (30 June 2010: 4.1 million; 31 December 2010: 4.4 million) shares were held in trusts under employee incentive plans.

In half year 2011, the Company purchased the following number of shares in respect of employee incentive plans.

	Number of shares purchased*	Cost
	(in millions)	£m
Half year 2011	3.2	15.5
Half year 2010	4.1	18.9
Full year 2010	5.7	32.0

*The maximum number of shares held in half year 2011 was 5.2 million which was at the end of the period.

Of the total shares held in trust 0.1 million (30 June 2010: 0.3 million; 31 December 2010: 0.1 million) were held by a qualifying employee share ownership trust. These shares are expected to be fully distributed in the future on maturity of savings-related share option schemes.

The Group has consolidated a number of authorised investment funds where it is deemed to control these funds under IFRS. Some of these funds hold shares in Prudential plc. The total number of shares held by these funds at 30 June 2011 was 9.2 million (30 June 2010: 9.7 million; 31 December 2010: 9.8 million) and the cost of acquiring these shares of £45 million (30 June 2010: £46 million; 31 December 2010: £47 million) is included in the cost of own shares. The market value of these shares as at 30 June 2011 was £66 million (30 June 2010: £49 million; 31 December 2010: £65 million).

During half year 2011 these funds made net disposals of 554,285 Prudential shares (30 June 2010: 955,718; 31 December 2010: 833,618) for a net decrease of £2 million to book cost (30 June 2010: £4 million; 31 December 2010: £3 million).

All share transactions were made on an exchange other than the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

Other than set out above the Group did not purchase, sell or redeem any Prudential plc listed securities during half year 2011 or 2010.

AB  Contingencies and related obligations

The Group is involved in various litigation and regulatory issues. Whilst the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, Prudential believes that the ultimate outcome of such litigation and regulatory issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

There have been no material changes to the Group's contingencies and related obligations in the six month period ended 30 June 2011.

AC  Associates and Joint ventures

The Group had two associates at 30 June 2011 (30 June 2010: two; 31 December 2010: three) that were accounted for under the equity method. The Group's share of the profit and loss of these associates during the period was a loss of £1 million (half year 2010: £nil; full year 2010: a loss of £6 million). This is reflected in the Group's profit after tax attributable to equity holders during the period.

In addition, the Group owns a number of joint ventures. Joint ventures represent activities over which the Group exercises joint control through contractual agreement with one or more parties. The Group's significant joint ventures, which are accounted for using proportionate consolidation, comprise various joint ventures relating to property investments where the Group has a 50 per cent interest as well as the following interests:

Investment	% held	Principal activity	Country
CITIC Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited	50	Life assurance	China
CITIC-Prudential Fund Management Company Limited	49	Asset management	China
ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited	49	Asset management	India
Prudential BSN Takaful Berhad	49	General and life insurance	Malaysia
BOCI-Prudential Asset Management Limited	36	Asset management	China
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited	26	Life assurance	India

Joint ventures contributed £ 20 million (30 June 2010: £40 million; 31 December 2010: £60 million) to profit after tax attributable to equity holders during the period.

In addition to the above the Group has associates that are carried at fair value through profit and loss, as allowed under IAS 28, that comprise investment in Open-Ended Investment Companies (OEICs), unit trusts, funds holding collateralised debt obligations, property unit trusts, and venture capital investments of the PAC with-profits funds where the Group has significant influence.

AD  Acquisition of subsidiaries

The PAC with-profits fund, via its venture fund holdings and as part of its investment portfolio, made two acquisitions during the period. These were acquisitions for a 100 per cent interest of Earth & Wind Energias Renovables S.L., a company which invests in solar panel parks, in March 2011 and a 100 per cent interest of Alticom Holdings B.V., a company investing in telecommunication towers, in June 2011.

As these transactions are within the with-profits fund, they have no impact on shareholders' profit or equity for the period ended 30 June 2011. The impact on the Group's consolidated revenue, including investment returns, is not material. Had the acquisitions been effected at 1 January 2011, the revenue and profit of the Group from continuing operations for the period ended 30 June 2011 would not have been materially different.

A summary of the consideration, goodwill and net assets acquired relating to these two acquisitions is provided in the table below:

	Total
	£m
Cash consideration paid	55
Net assets acquired:
Property, plant and equipment	149
Other non-investment and non-cash assets	9
Cash and cash equivalents	14
Borrowings attributable to with-profits funds	(110)
Derivative liabilities	(2)
Other non-insurance liabilities	(8)
Fair value of net assets acquired	52
Total goodwill arising on acquisition attributable to the with-profits fund	3

The acquisition costs associated with this transaction were expensed as incurred and totalled less then £1 million.

Goodwill represents management's expectation of future income streams and is not allowable for tax.

AE  Related party transactions

The nature of the related party transactions of the Group has not changed from those described in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

There were no transactions with related parties during the six months ended 30 June 2011 which have had a material effect on the results or financial position of the Group.

AF  Post balance sheet events

The 2011 interim dividend approved by the Board of Directors after 30 June 2011 is as described in Note N.

Details of the reduction in the UK corporation tax rate to 25 per cent which became substantively enacted after the balance sheet date on 5 July 2011 and the subsequent proposed phased rate changes to 23 per cent are as described in Note L.

Combined IFRS basis results and EEV basis results report

Independent review report to Prudential plc

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) basis financial information in the Half Year Financial Report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes.

We have also been engaged by the Company to review the European Embedded Value (EEV) basis supplementary financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which comprises the Operating Profit Based on Longer-Term Investment Returns, the Summary Consolidated Income Statement, the Movement in Shareholders' Equity, the Summary Statement of Financial Position and the related explanatory notes and Total Insurance and Investment Products New Business information. 

We have read the other information contained in the Half Year Financial Report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the IFRS basis financial information or the EEV basis supplementary financial information.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ('the DTR') of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority ('the UK FSA') and also to provide a review conclusion to the Company on the EEV basis supplementary financial information. Our review of the IFRS basis financial information has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. Our review of the EEV basis supplementary financial information has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we have been engaged to state in this report and for no other purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Directors' responsibilities

The Half Year Financial Report, including the IFRS basis financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Half Year Financial Report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FSA. The directors have accepted responsibility for preparing the EEV basis supplementary financial information in accordance with the European Embedded Value Principles issued in May 2004 by the European CFO Forum ('the EEV Principles') and for determining the methodology and assumptions used in the application of those principles.

The annual IFRS basis financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union ('EU'). The IFRS basis financial information included in this Half Year Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

The EEV basis supplementary financial information has been prepared in accordance with the EEV principles using the methodology and assumptions set out in notes 1 and 16 to the EEV basis supplementary financial information. The EEV basis supplementary financial information should be read in conjunction with the IFRS basis financial information.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the IFRS basis financial information in the Half Year Financial Report and the EEV basis supplementary financial information based on our reviews, as set out in our engagement letter with you dated 29 July 2011.

Scope of review

We conducted our reviews 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 UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the IFRS basis financial information in the Half Year Financial Report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU and the DTR of the UK FSA.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the EEV basis supplementary financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the EEV Principles, using the methodology and assumptions set out in notes 1 and 16 to the EEV basis supplementary financial information.

1     Analysis of long-term insurance business pre-tax IFRS operating profit based on longer-term investment returns by driver

This schedule classifies the Group's pre-tax operating earnings from long-term insurance operations into the underlying drivers of those profits, using the following categories:

(i)     Spread income represents the difference between net investment income (or premium income in the case of the UK annuities new business) and amounts credited to policyholder accounts. It excludes the longer-term investment return on assets in excess of those covering shareholder-backed policyholder liabilities, which has been separately disclosed as expected return on shareholder assets.

(ii)    Fee income represents profits driven by net investment performance, being asset management fees that vary with the size of the underlying policyholder funds net of investment management expenses.

(iii)   With-profits business represents the shareholders' transfer from the with-profits fund in the period.

(iv)    Insurance margin primarily represents profits derived from the insurance risks of mortality, morbidity and persistency.

(v)     Margin on revenues primarily represents amounts deducted from premiums to cover acquisition costs and administration expenses.

(vi)    Acquisition costs and administration expenses represent expenses incurred in the period attributable to shareholders. It excludes items such as restructuring costs and Solvency II costs which are not included in the segment profit for insurance as well as items that are more appropriately included in other source of earnings lines (e.g. investment expenses are netted off investment income as part of spread income or fee income as appropriate).

(vii)  DAC adjustments comprises DAC amortisation for the period, excluding amounts related to short-term fluctuations, net of costs deferred in respect of new business.

*The additional financial information is not covered by the KPMG independent review opinion.

(i)   In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US insurance operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect.

Margin analysis of long-term insurance business

The following analysis expresses certain of the Group's sources of operating profit as a margin of policyholder liabilities or other suitable driver. The margin is on an annualised basis in which half year profits are annualised by multiplying by two. Details of the Group's average policyholder liability balances are given in note Z.

Analysis of Asian operating profit drivers

•        Spread income has increased from £39 million in 2010 to £46 million in 2011. There has been a small fall in margin from 188 bps in 2010 to 176 bps in 2011 principally due to lower investment returns in China in 2011.

•        Fee income has increased in absolute terms by 29 per cent to £67 million broadly in line with increased unit linked liabilities following improved equity markets and positive net flows into unit linked business. 

•        Insurance margin has increased by £23 million from £202 million in 2010 to £225 million in 2011. This reflects the continued growth in the in-force book, which has a relatively high proportion of risk-based products.

•        Margin on revenues has increased by £86 million to £560 million reflecting the on-going growth in the size of the portfolio. During the period the new business mix has moved towards those countries that levy higher premium charges (e.g. Indonesia and Malaysia).

•        Acquisition costs - Acquisition costs have increased by 10 per cent, ahead of the 3 per cent increase in sales. This trend is distorted by the changes in country mix, particularly by the reduction of sales in India. Excluding India, acquisition costs were 15 per cent higher, compared to APE sales growth of 17 per cent.

         The analysis above uses shareholder acquisition costs as a proportion of total APE. If with-profits sales were excluded from the denominator the acquisition cost ratio would become half year 2011: 60 per cent, half year 2010: 53 per cent and full year 2010: 53 per cent. (Excluding India, half year 2011: 62 per cent, half year 2010: 60 per cent and full year 2010: 58 per cent)

•        Administration expenses have increased from £225 million in 2010 to £242 million in 2011. The administration expense ratio has improved from 312 bps in 2010 to 266 bps in 2011 as we continue to see the benefits of operational leverage.

·       Expected return on shareholder assets has increased to £11 million primarily due to higher shareholder assets and lower investment expenses in the period.

Analysis of US operating profit drivers:

•     Spread income benefited by £53 million in 2011 from the effect of transactions entered into during 2010 to more closely match the overall asset and liability duration (2010: £44 million). The increase in spread margin from 235 bps in 2010 to 262 bps in 2011 is due primarily to decreased crediting rates on fixed annuities.

•     Fee income margins are based on the average of the opening and closing separate account balances, while earned fees are mainly calculated daily based on the separate account balance. The first half of 2010 experienced a large fall in equity markets at the end of that period. Using an average based on month end separate account balances in local currency, margins were 197 bps at half year 2011 (half year 2010: 201 bps; full year 2010: 200 bps). Separate account values increased in 2011 both as a result of the contribution from strong sales and positive equity market performance. 

•     Insurance margin represents operating profits from insurance risks, including variable annuity guarantees and other sundry net income. Positive net flows into variable annuity business with life contingent and other guarantees have helped lead to a small improvement in the margin in local currency. However, exchange rate movements resulted in a small decline in the margin from £118 million in 2010 to £113 million in 2011.

•        Acquisition costs have increased in absolute terms compared to half year 2010 due to the significant increase in sales volumes. However acquisition costs as a percentage of APE is modestly lower at 72 per cent in 2011.

•        Administration expenses increased to £195 million in half year 2011 compared to £167 million in the first half of 2010, primarily as a result of higher asset based commission paid on the larger 2011 separate account balance. These asset based commissions paid upon policy anniversary dates are treated as an administration expense in this analysis as opposed to a cost of acquisition. Notwithstanding the higher levels of asset based commission, the administration expense ratio has reduced from 65 bps to 62 bps reflecting the benefits of operational leverage.

Analysis of UK operating profit drivers:

•    Spread income has increased by £39 million to £122 million in 2011 reflecting in a higher margin of 108 bps, up from 81 bps last year. The 27 bps improvement to margin is due to the bulk annuity deal written in the first half of 2011 together with the benefit to yields of transactions undertaken in the period to improve the quality of the annuity investment portfolio.

•      Margin on revenues represents premium charges for expenses and other sundry operating income amounts of the UK business. Lower amounts were recorded in the first half of 2011 (£105 million) as compared to the first half of 2010 (£145 million) mainly as a result of expense assumption changes on annuity business in 2010 not being repeated in the first half of 2011.

•      Insurance margin has improved by £11 million from negative £4 million in 2010 to positive £7 million in 2011, primarily reflecting improved profitability in PruHealth, following the acquisition of Standard Life Healthcare, and higher sales in PruProtect together with the benefit of lower new business strain on those sales.

•      Acquisition costs as a percentage of new business sales has fallen from 25 per cent in 2010 to 23 per cent in 2011. This is principally due to the impact of the bulk annuity deal written in the period which contributed £28 million APE with a relatively modest level of acquisition costs.

The ratio above considers the percentage of shareholder acquisition costs as a percentage of total APE sales. It is therefore impacted by the level of with-profit sales in the year. Acquisition costs as a percentage of shareholder-backed new business sales were 44 per cent in half year 2011 (51 per cent in half year 2010; 36 per cent in full year 2010), the improvement over half year 2010 principally due to the bulk annuity deal as set out above.

•      Administration expenses have remained broadly consistent with the prior year at £60 million (2010: £61 million), whilst average policyholder liabilities for shareholder-backed business in 2011 have increased by 12 per cent from the first half of 2010. Correspondingly, the margin, expressed as shareholder administration costs compared to the policyholder liabilities of shareholder-backed business, has fallen from 31 bps in the first half of 2010 to 27 bps in same period in 2011. This is primarily the result of cost savings initiatives initiated by the UK in line with the business's stated objectives.

Notes

(i)      Analysis of operating profit between new and in-force business

The result for insurance operations comprises amounts in respect of new business and business in-force as follows:

	Half year 2011	Half year 2010	Full year 2010
	£m	£m	£m
New business strain (excluding Japan)	(31)	(42)	(56)
Japan	-	(1)	(1)
New business strain (including Japan)	(31)	(43)	(57)
Business in force	357	305	593
Total	326	262	536

The IFRS new business strain corresponds to approximately four per cent of new business APE premiums for half year 2011 (half year 2010: approximately six per cent; full year 2010: approximately four per cent).

The strain reflects the aggregate of the pre-tax regulatory basis strain to net worth after IFRS adjustments for deferral of acquisition costs and deferred income where appropriate.

(ii)     Non-recurrent items of £25 million in half year 2011 (2010: £19 million), represents a small number of items that are not anticipated to re-occur in subsequent periods.

*    Operating income is net of commissions and includes performance related fees.

**  Margin represents annualised operating income as a proportion of the related funds under management (FUM). Half year figures have been annualised by multiplying by two. Opening and closing internal and external funds managed by the respective entity have been used to derive the average. Any funds held by the Group's insurance operations which are managed by third parties outside of the Prudential Group are excluded from these amounts.

***               Cost/income ratio is calculated as cost as a percentage of income excluding performance related fees.

+    Institutional includes internal funds.

‡    As noted above, the margins on operating income are based on the average of the opening and closing FUM balances.  For M&G, if a monthly average FUM had been used in calculating the retail returns for half year 2011 and half year 2010, the retail margins would have been 96 bps for half year 2011 and 98 bps for half year 2010.

6     Effect of foreign currency rate movements on results

(i)     Rates of exchange

The profit and loss accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at closing exchange rates. Foreign currency borrowings that have been used to provide a hedge against Group equity investments in overseas subsidiaries are also translated at closing exchange rates. The impact of these translations is recorded as a component of the movement in shareholders' equity.

The following translation rates have been applied:

	Closing	Average	Closing	Average	Closing	Average

Notes

(i)      The 'as published' operating profit for 2011 and 'memorandum' operating profit for 2010 have been calculated by applying average 2011 exchange rates (CER).

The 'as published' shareholders' funds for 2011 and memorandum' shareholders' funds for 2010 have been calculated by applying closing period end 2011 exchange rates.

(ii)     In the second half of 2010 the Company amended the presentation of IFRS operating profit for its US operations to remove the net equity hedge accounting effect (incorporating related amortisation of deferred acquisition costs) and include it in short-term fluctuations in investment returns. Accordingly, the half year 2010 operating profit has been amended to remove the positive £123 million effect. The half year 2010 operating profit has been amended accordingly.

7       New Business Schedules

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The new business schedules are provided as an indicative volume measure of transactions undertaken in the reporting period that have the potential to generate profits for shareholders. The amounts shown are not, and not intended to be, reflective of premium income recorded in the IFRS income statement.

The format of the schedules is consistent with the distinction between insurance and investment products as applied for previous financial reporting periods. Products categorised as insurance refer to those classified as contracts of long-term insurance business for regulatory reporting purposes, i.e. falling within one of the classes of insurance specified in part II of Schedule 1 to the Regulated Activities Order under FSA regulations.

The details shown for insurance products include contributions for contracts that are classified under IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' as not containing significant insurance risk. These products are described as investment contracts or other financial instruments under IFRS. Contracts included in this category are primarily certain unit-linked and similar contracts written in UK Insurance Operations, and Guaranteed Investment Contracts and similar funding agreements written in US Operations.

Asia 2010 comparative APE new business sales and new business profit exclude the Japanese insurance operations which ceased writing new business from 15 February 2010.

New business premiums for regular premium products are shown on an annualised basis. Internal vesting business is classified as new business where the contracts include an open market option. 

Investment products referred to in the tables for funds under management are unit trusts, mutual funds and similar types of retail fund management arrangements. These are unrelated to insurance products that are classified as investment contracts under IFRS 4, as described in the preceding paragraph, although similar IFRS recognition and measurement principles apply to the acquisition costs and fees attaching to this type of business.

New Business Profit has been determined using the European Embedded Value (EEV) methodology and assumptions set out in our 2010 Annual Report.

In determining the EEV basis value of new business written in the period policies incept, premiums are included in projected cash flows on the same basis of distinguishing annual and single premium business as set out for statutory basis reporting.

Notes to Schedules 7(a) - 7(f)

(1a)      Insurance and investment new business for overseas operations has been calculated using average exchange rates. The applicable rate for Jackson is 1.62.

(1b)      Insurance and investment new business for overseas operations for 2010 has been calculated using constant exchange rates. The applicable rate for Jackson is 1.62.

(2)        New business values are all presented pre-tax.

(3)        Annual Equivalents, calculated as regular new business contributions plus ten per cent of single new business contributions, are subject to roundings. PVNBPs are calculated as equalling single premiums plus the present value of expected premiums of new regular premium business. In determining the present value, allowance is made for lapses and other assumptions applied in determining the EEV new business profit.

(4)        Balance includes segregated and pooled pension funds, private finance assets and other institutional clients. Other movements reflect the net flows arising from the cash component of a tactical asset allocation fund managed by PPM South Africa.

(5)        New business in India is included at Prudential's 26 per cent interest in the India life operation. 

(6)        Balance Sheet figures have been calculated at the closing exchange rate.

(7)        Sales are converted using the year to date average exchange rate applicable at the time. The sterling results for individual quarters represent the difference between the year to date reported sterling results at successive quarters and will include foreign exchange movements from earlier periods.

(8)        New business in China is included at Prudential's 50 per cent interest in the China life operation. 

(9)        Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) product sales in Hong Kong are included at Prudential's 36 per cent interest in Hong Kong MPF operation.
