Half Year Results 2011

Part 5 of 5

5 Independent auditors' review report

Introduction

We have been engaged by Standard Life plc (the Company) to review the financial information in the Half Year Results for the six months ended 30 June 2011, which comprises:

· The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) condensed consolidated income statement, the IFRS consolidated

statement of comprehensive income, the IFRS condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the IFRS consolidated statement of changes in equity, the IFRS condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and associated notes prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting policies set out in Note 3.1 (the IFRS financial information), and

· The European Embedded Value (EEV) consolidated income statement, the EEV earnings per share statement, the EEV

consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the EEV consolidated statement of financial position, and associated notes prepared on the EEV basis set out in Note 4.1 (the EEV financial information).

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

Directors' responsibilities

The Half Year Results, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the Half Year Results in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

As disclosed in Note 3.1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The IFRS financial information included in the Half Year Results has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. The Directors are responsible for preparing the EEV financial information in accordance with the EEV basis set out in Note 4.1.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the IFRS financial information included in the Half Year Results based on our review. This report on the IFRS financial information, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the Company for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and for no other purpose.

Our responsibility on the EEV financial information in the Half Year Results is to express to the Company a conclusion based on our review. This report on the EEV financial information, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the Company in accordance with our engagement letter dated 6 May 2011 and for no other purpose.

We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

· the IFRS financial information in the Half Year Results for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority, and

· the EEV financial information in the Half Year Results report for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the EEV basis set out in Note 4.1.

¹Included within mutual funds are cash inflows which have also been reflected in UK and Canada mutual funds new business sales and net flows for UK mutual funds, an element of UK non-insured SIPP and Canada mutual funds.

² In the six months to 30 June 2010, UK mutual funds gross inflows were £1,457m and net inflows were £713m.

³ In the six months to 30 June 2010, Canada mutual funds gross inflows were £178m and net outflows were £13m.

⁵ Due to the nature of the UK money market funds and India cash funds, the flows are calculated using average net client balances. Other movements are derived as the difference between these average net inflows and the movement in the opening and closing AUM. Market and other movements includes the transfer of UK money market funds in Global Liquidity Fund to Deutsche Bank Asset Management, as a result of Standard Life Investments withdrawal from constant net asset value money market funds.

Shareholder exposure to investment property and financial assets

The total shareholder exposure to investment property and financial assets of £18.7bn (30 June 2010: £17.7bn; 31 December 2010: £17.9bn) includes £11.4bn (30 June 2010: £10.8bn; 31 December 2010: £11.2bn) of assets held by non-segregated funds of the Group's Canada operations. The effective exposure of shareholders to assets of the non-segregated funds in Canada was significantly lower than the nominal level of exposure presented below because changes in the value of assets are typically accompanied by offsetting changes in the value of related liabilities. The shareholder exposure is limited to the net impact on the shareholder surplus and the value of any guarantees which may be triggered.

Shareholder exposure to debt securities excluding Canada non-segregated funds consists primarily of debt securities backing annuity liabilities and subordinated debt liabilities. The increase in exposure can be attributed to new annuity business written in the period as well as a change in the shareholder asset mix.

6.7 Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments

To provide further information on the approach used to determine the fair value of certain financial assets and derivative financial liabilities measured as at fair value on the Group's IFRS statement of financial position, the fair value of these financial instruments has been categorised below to reflect the following fair value hierarchy:

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

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

Level 3:Fair values measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

As explained in Note 3.1(a) - Accounting policies - Basis of preparation, there has been a reallocation between cash and cash equivalents and debt securities at 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010. The information presented in this section reflects the position after the reallocation.

6.7 Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments continued

Level 1 financial instruments principally include equity securities listed on a recognised exchange, certain government and supranational institution bonds and exchange traded futures and options.

Level 2 financial instruments principally include certain government bonds, listed or publicly quoted corporate bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and derivative instruments which are not exchange traded. Corporate bonds have generally been classified as level 2 as the composite price provided by external pricing providers may include, as an input, quotes provided by some banks that are not based on actual transaction prices.

Level 3 financial instruments principally include unlisted equity securities, being predominantly interests in private equity funds, listed or publicly quoted corporate bonds for which prices are not available from external pricing providers or where such prices are considered to be stale (including some asset backed securities) or are based on single broker indicative quotes and unquoted bonds where credit spreads, being a significant input to the valuation technique, are obtained from a broker or estimated internally.

7 Glossary

Acquisition costs

Expenses related to the procurement and processing of new business written, including a share of overheads.

Annuity

A periodic payment made for an agreed period of time (usually up to the death of the recipient) in return for a cash sum. The cash sum can be paid as one amount or as a series of premiums. If the annuity commences immediately after the payment of the sum, it is termed an immediate annuity. If it commences at some future date, it is termed a deferred annuity.

Assets under administration (AUA)

A measure of the total assets that the Group administers on behalf of customers and institutional clients. It includes those assets for which the Group provides investment management services, as well as those assets that the Group administers where the customer has made a choice to select an external third party investment manager. Assets under administration reflect the value of the IFRS gross assets of the Group adjusted, where appropriate, for consolidation adjustments, inter-company assets and intangible assets. In addition, the definition includes third party assets administered by the Group which are not included in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Assumptions

Variables applied to data used to project expected outcomes.

Back book management

We choose to analyse our EEV operating profit before tax in the three components which reflect the focus of our business effort - core, efficiency and back book management. Back book management includes all non-expense related operating variances and assumption changes for covered business plus those development costs directly related to back book management initiatives and, for non-covered business, specific costs attributed to back book management.

Board

The board of Directors of the Company.

Burnthrough costs

Burnthrough costs are an estimate of the value of the potential shareholder support that could be required to meet policyholder benefits in a participating fund. It is usually the case that shareholders participate in the profits or surpluses generated within a participating fund only to a limited extent. However, there could be unfavourable outcomes in the future when the assets of the participating fund are no longer sufficient to pay the benefits of the policyholders of that fund. This would be described as a 'burnthrough event' and could require some level of financial support from the shareholder. The burnthrough cost is normally calculated by projecting a large number of possible future economic outcomes, taking an average over all of these outcomes.

Capital resources (CR)

Capital resources include the assets in excess of liabilities, valued on a regulatory basis, and certain other components of capital.

Capital resources requirement (CRR)

A company must hold capital resources in excess of the capital resources requirement. The CRR represents the total of the individual capital resources requirements (ICRR) of each regulated company in the Group.

CFO Forum

A high-level discussion group formed and attended by the Chief Financial Officers of major European listed, and some non-listed, insurance companies.

Company

Standard Life plc.

Constant currency

Eliminates the effects of exchange rate fluctuations and is used when calculating financial performance on a range of measures.

Core

We choose to analyse our EEV operating profit before tax in the three components which reflect the focus of our business effort - core, efficiency and back book management. Core includes new business contribution, expected return and development costs for covered business, excluding those development costs directly related to back book management initiatives and, for non-covered business, IFRS operating profit excluding specific costs attributable to back book management.

Covered business

The business covered by the EEV methodology. This should include any contracts that are regarded by local insurance supervisors as long-term or life insurance business and may cover other long-term life insurance, short-term life insurance such as group risk business and long-term accident and health business. Where short-term healthcare is regarded as part of or ancillary to a company's long-term life insurance business, then it may be regarded as long-term business. For covered business within the Standard Life Group please refer to the EEV methodology within the EEV supplementary information.

Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)

The method of accounting whereby acquisition costs on long-term business are deferred in the statement of financial position as an asset and amortised over the life of those contracts. This leads to a smoothed recognition of up front expenses instead of the full cost in the year of sale.

Deferred income reserve (DIR)

The method of accounting whereby front end fees that relate to services to be provided in future periods are deferred in the statement of financial position as a liability and amortised over the life of those contracts. This leads to a smoothed recognition of up front income instead of the full income in the year of sale.

Development costs

Costs that are considered to be non-recurring and are reported separately from other expenses in the EEV movement analysis.

Director

A director of the Company.

Discounting

The reduction to present value at a given date of a future cash transaction at an assumed rate, using a discount factor reflecting the time value of money. The choice of a discount rate will usually greatly influence the value of insurance provisions, and may give indications on the conservatism of provisioning methods.

Dividend cover

This is a measure of how easily a company can pay its dividend from profit. It is calculated as IFRS operating profit after tax and minority interest divided by the total dividend for that financial period.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)

EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, taxation, foreign exchange gains and losses, profit on partial disposal of investments in associates, divergence on financial guarantee costs, movement on contract for differences and restructuring costs.

EBIT margin

This is an industry measure of performance for investment management companies. It is calculated as EBIT divided by total revenue.

Earnings per share (EPS)

EPS is a commonly used financial metric which can be used to measure the profitability and strength of a company over time. EPS is calculated by dividing profit by the number of ordinary shares. Basic EPS uses the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, for example share awards and share options awarded to employees.

Economic assumptions

Assumptions in relation to future interest rates, investment returns, inflation and tax. These assumptions, and variances in relation to these assumptions, are treated as non-operating profits/(losses) under EEV.

Efficiency

We choose to analyse our EEV operating profit before tax in the three components which reflect the focus of our business effort - core, efficiency and back book management. Efficiency includes covered business variances and assumption changes, which relate to maintenance expenses.

European Embedded Value (EEV)

The value to equity shareholders of the net assets plus the expected future profits on in-force business from a life assurance and pensions business. Prepared in accordance with the EEV Principles and Guidance issued in May 2004 by the CFO Forum and the Additional Guidance issued in October 2005. EEV reports the value of business in-force based on a set of best estimate assumptions, allowing for the impact of uncertainty inherent in future assumptions, the costs of holding required capital, the value of free surplus and TVOG.

EEV operating profit

Covered business EEV operating profit represents profit generated from new business sales and the in-force book of business, based on closing non-economic and opening economic assumptions. Covered business is defined above.

Non-covered business EEV operating profit represents IFRS operating profit. Non-covered business is defined below.

EEV operating profit capital and cash generation

This is a measure of the underlying shareholder capital and cash flow of the Group.

Covered business EEV operating capital and cash generation represents the EEV operating profit net worth (free surplus and required capital) on an after-tax basis.

Non-covered business EEV operating capital and cash generation represents EEV operating profit after tax (as defined above).

Expected return on EEV

Anticipated results based on applying opening assumptions to the opening EEV.

Experience variances

Current period differences between the actual experience incurred over the period and the assumptions used in the calculation of the embedded value, excluding new business non-economic experience variances which are captured in new business contribution.

Fee based business

Fee business is a component of IFRS operating profit and is made up of products where we generate income primarily from asset management charges (AMCs), premium based charges and transactional charges. AMCs are earned on products such as SIPP, corporate pensions and mutual funds, and are calculated as a percentage fee based on the assets held. Investment risk on these products rests principally with the customer, with the major indirect Group exposure to rising or falling markets coming from higher or lower AMCs.

Financial options and guarantees

Terms relating to covered business conferring potentially valuable guarantees underlying, or options to change, the level and nature of policyholder benefits and exercisable at the discretion of the policyholder, whose potential value is impacted by the behaviour of financial variables.

Free surplus

The amount of capital and any surplus allocated to, but not required to support, the in-force business covered by the EEV.

Global Absolute Return Strategy (GARS)

This HWPF also contains increments to existing business.

Individual Capital Assessment (ICA)

The process by which the Financial Services Authority (FSA) requires insurance companies to make an assessment of the regulated company's own capital requirements, which is then reviewed and agreed by the FSA.

In-force

Long-term business which has been written before the period end and which has not terminated before the period end.

Internal rate of return (IRR)

A measure of rate of return on an investment and so an indicator of capital efficiency. The IRR is equivalent to the discount rate at which the present value of the after-tax cash flows expected to be earned over the lifetime of new business written is equal to the capital invested to support the writing of the business.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

International Financial Reporting Standards are accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Group's consolidated financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IFRS operating profit

IFRS operating profit is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to equity holders before tax for the impact of short-term economic changes to asset and liability values. The Directors believe that by removing this volatility from operating profit, they are presenting a more meaningful indication of the long-term performance of the Group.

IFRS tangible equity per share

Total IFRS equity, less non-controlling interests and intangible assets, divided by the diluted number of issued shares at the end of the period.

Net flows

Net flows represent gross inflows less redemptions. For long-term savings business, gross inflows are premiums and deposits recognised in the period on a regulatory basis (excluding any switches between funds). Redemptions are claims and annuity payments (excluding any reinsurance transactions and switches between funds).

Net worth

The market value of shareholders' funds and the shareholders' interest in the surplus held in the non profit component of the long-term business funds, determined on a statutory solvency basis and adjusted to add back any non-admissible assets per regulatory returns.

New business contribution (NBC)

The expected present value of all future cash flows attributable to the equity holder from new business, as included within EEV operating profit.

New business strain (NBS)

Costs involved in acquiring new business (such as commission payments to intermediaries, expenses, reserves) affecting the insurance company's financial position at that point and where all of the income from that new business (including premiums and investment income) has not yet been received and will not be received until a point in the future. To begin with, therefore, a strain may be created where cash outflows exceed inflows.

NBS margin

New business strain as a percentage of PVNBP sales (see PVNBP).

Non-covered business

Mainly includes third party global investment management and other businesses not associated with the life assurance and pensions business. Non-covered business excludes the global investment management look through profits and the return on mutual funds which are recognised in covered business. Non-covered business is excluded from the EEV methodology and is included within the Group EEV on an IFRS basis.

Non-economic assumptions

Assumptions in relation to future levels of mortality, morbidity, persistency and expenses. These assumptions, and variances in relation to these assumptions, are included as operating profits/(losses) under EEV.

Non profit policy

Present value of new business premiums (PVNBP)

The industry measure of insurance new business sales under the EEV methodology. It is calculated as 100% of single premiums plus the expected present value of new regular premiums.

Proprietary Business Fund

The Proprietary Business Fund in Standard Life Assurance Limited (SLAL) contains, among other things, certain classes of business - pension contribution insurance policies, income protection plan policies and a number of SIPP policies written before demutualisation, as well as most new insurance business written after demutualisation in the UK, Ireland and Germany.

PVNBP margin

PVNBP margin is NBC expressed as a percentage of PVNBP. This measures whether new business written is adding value or eroding value.

Recourse cash flow (RCF)

Certain cash flows arising in the HWPF on specified blocks of UK and Irish business, which are transferred out of the fund on a monthly basis and accrue to the ultimate benefit of equity holders, as determined by the Scheme of Demutualisation.

Regular premium

A regular premium contract (as opposed to a single premium contract), is one where the policyholder agrees at inception to make regular payments throughout the term of the contract.

Required capital

SLAC

The Standard Life Assurance Company (renamed The Standard Life Assurance Company 2006 on 10 July 2006).

Spread based business

Spread based business is a component of IFRS operating profit and comprises products where we provide a guaranteed level of income for our customers in return for an investment. A good example of this product line is annuities. The 'spread' referred to in the title primarily relates to the difference between the guaranteed amount we pay to customers and the actual return on the assets over the period of the contract.

Time value of options and guarantees (TVOG)

Represents the potential additional cost to equity holders where a financial option or guarantee exists which affects policyholder benefits and is exercisable at the option of the policyholder.

Total shareholder return

This is a measure of the overall return to shareholders and includes the movement in the share price and any dividends paid and reinvested.
