Basis of preparation - IFRS basis (a) From 2005, all European Union listed companies are required to prepare consolidated financial statements using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Accordingly, the results for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting policies and have been taken from the Group's Annual Report and Accounts. The Group's previously reported 2004 consolidated financial statements have accordingly been restated to comply with IFRS, with the date of transition to IFRS being 1 January 2004 as detailed in the market release of 5 July 2005, 'Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on the results for 31 December 2004'. The preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS applicable at 31 December 2005. The IASB issued amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits and IAS 39, The Fair Value Option, in December 2004 and June 2005 respectively and its Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) issued IFRIC Interpretation 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, in December 2004. The requirements are applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006, but the Group has decided to adopt them early and reflect their impact within this preliminary announcement. (b) In line with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standard 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 1), Aviva has applied the Group's accounting policies under IFRS retrospectively at the date of transition, being 1 January 2004, with the exception of a number of permitted exemptions. These are detailed in the market release of 5 July 2005, 'Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on the results for 31 December 2004'. (c) Aviva has chosen to revisit its longer-term investment return (LTIR) methodology from 2005 as part of a discretionary change not required by IFRS. This change in accounting policy was adopted and detailed in the market release of 5 July 'Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on the results for 31 December 2004'. (d) The requirements of International Financial Reporting Standard 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, have been applied prospectively from 1 January 2005. (e) Financial Reporting Standard 27, Life Assurance (FRS 27) was issued by the UK's Accounting Standards Board (ASB) in December 2004, following the Penrose inquiry. Aviva, along with other major insurance companies and the Association of British Insurers (ABI), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ASB relating to FRS 27. Under this MoU, Aviva has agreed to adopt voluntarily in full the standard from 2005 within the Group's IFRS financial statements. Within FRS 27, the ASB acknowledged the difficulty of applying the requirements retrospectively and indeed it is the Group's view that it would be impractical to do so in accordance with IAS 8. This has no impact on net assets or profit for the year ended 31 December 2004, as the adjustments reflect changes in balance sheet presentation between the unallocated divisible surplus and insurance liabilities. Therefore, only the balance sheet at 31 December 2004 has been restated for the impact of FRS 27. No adjustments have been made, nor are any required, to the balance sheet at 1 January 2004 or the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2004. (f) In accordance with Phase I of International Financial Reporting Standard 4, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4), the Group has applied existing accounting practices for insurance and participating investment contracts, modified as appropriate to comply with the IFRS framework and applicable standards. (g) Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are stated in sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts shown in the financial statements are in millions of pounds sterling (Â£m). As supplementary information, consolidated financial information is also presented in Euros. (h) The preliminary announcement for the year to 31 December 2005 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The results on an IFRS basis for the full years 2004 and 2005 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. The auditors have reported on the 2004 and 2005 accounts and their reports were unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The Group's Report and Accounts incorporating the restated 2004 financial information will be available from 29 March 2006. The Group's 2004 Report and Accounts, prepared under the previous accounting basis, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 43 2. First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards The Group has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in preparing these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005. The date of transition to IFRS is 1 January 2004. During 2005, the Group has already published the following restated UK GAAP financial information onto an IFRS basis: â€¢ Restated preliminary opening balance sheet as at 1 January 2004 under International Financial Reporting Standards, published in Appendix B to Aviva plc preliminary announcement 2004 on 9 March 2005 and also on pages 114 to 126 of the Aviva plc Annual Report and Accounts for 2004, including auditors' opinion on page 127. â€¢ Release to the market on 5 July 2005, 'Impact of International Financial Reporting Standards on the results for 31 December 2004', including the auditors' opinion on pages 30 and 31, containing restated 31 December 2004 financial information as follows: - summarised consolidated pro-forma operating profit statement and notes to the analysis of adjustments as a result of the transition to IFRS; - summarised consolidated statement of recognised income and expense; - summarised consolidated statement of changes in equity; - summarised consolidated balance sheet and notes to the analysis of adjustments as a result of the transition to IFRS; - summarised consolidated income statement - EEV basis; - summarised consolidated balance sheet - EEV; and - the Group's IFRS accounting policies. In addition, a further update was given on the opening summarised consolidated balance sheet as at 1 January 2004, to take into account changes in IFRS since the publication of the Aviva plc preliminary announcement 2004 on 9 March 2005. 3. Exchange rates The euro rates employed in this announcement are an average rate of 1 euro = Â£0.68 (2004: 1 euro = Â£0.68) and a closing rate of 1 euro = Â£0.69 (2004: 1 euro = Â£0.71). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 44 4. Acquisitions (a) RAC plc On 4 May 2005, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of RAC plc. The results of RAC plc's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group with effect from 4 May 2005, and contributed Â£15 million to the consolidated profit before tax. Â£m Purchase cost Cash paid 566 Fair value of 88 million shares issued, based on their published price at date of exchange (average of Â£6.03 per share) 530 Costs attributable 17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,113 =================================================================================================================== The issue of new shares in the Company in exchange for shares in RAC plc has attracted merger relief under section 131 of the Companies Act 1985. Of the Â£530 million above, Â£22 million has been credited to share capital and Â£508 million has been credited to the merger reserve, increasing that reserve from Â£2,763 million to Â£3,272 million. The assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition were: Fair value and accounting Intangible Pension scheme policy Book value revaluation valuation adjustments Fair value Â£m Â£m Â£m Â£m Â£m Assets Intangible assets other than goodwill 59 333 - - 392 Tax assets 58 - - (58) - Other assets 608 - - 38 646 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets 725 333 - (20) 1,038 =================================================================================================================== Liabilities Provisions Pension deficit (257) - (56) - (313) Other (8) - - (14) (22) Tax liabilities - (118) 17 83 (18) Other liabilities (708) - - (3) (711) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities (973) (118) (39) 66 (1,064) ==================================================================================================================== Net assets acquired (248) 215 (39) 46 (26) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodwill (including Â£118 million arising from the creation of the deferred tax liability on intangibles) 1,139 Intangible assets 392 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total goodwill and intangible assets 1,531 Less: deferred tax liability (118) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total value of goodwill and intangible assets net of associated tax included on balance sheet 1,413 ==================================================================================================================== Separable intangible assets have been identified and valued by an independent third party at Â£392 million, using estimated post-tax cash flows and post-tax discount rates. The Group has assessed the useful economic lives of these intangibles, considering relevant factors such as usage of the asset, typical product lifecycles, potential obsolescence, maintenance costs, the stability of the industry, competitive position, and the period of control over the assets. In the case of the RAC and BSM brands, it has been determined that the existing lives of the assets, their competitive position in and the stability of their respective markets indicate that the brands have indefinite useful lives, and thus no amortisation has been charged in the period since acquisition. Of the total Â£392 million, Â£260 million has been assessed as having an indefinite life, with the remaining Â£132 million, mainly contractual customer relationships, being amortised over nine to 22 years. A deferred tax liability of Â£118 million has been provided against these intangible assets, resulting in an increase in residual goodwill by this amount. Although this liability has been recognised in accordance with IAS 12, and a proportion will be amortised to the income statement as the related intangible asset is amortised, this liability is only payable if the intangible asset is sold separately and this is not expected to happen. The pension scheme valuation adjustment and associated deferred taxation represents the effect of aligning the assumptions of the RAC plc schemes to those of Aviva. The fair value of the RAC pension deficit at the date of acquisition amounted to Â£313 million (Â£219 million after deferred tax). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 45 The residual goodwill of Â£1,139 million essentially represents synergies, both in increased revenues and in reduced costs, expected to arise in RAC plc and our UK general insurance business as a result of the acquisition. Â£109 million of integration costs for the restructuring of the combined Norwich Union Insurance and RAC businesses has been included in the results to 31 December 2005. (b) Gresham Insurance Company Limited On 31 March 2005, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Gresham Insurance Company Limited. The cash consideration including purchase costs was Â£75 million. The fair value of the net assets acquired, including intangibles of Â£14 million, was Â£75 million, giving rise to no goodwill on acquisition. (c) Solus Automotive Limited On 11 May 2005, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Solus Automotive Limited. The cash consideration including purchase costs was Â£20 million, including Â£12 million of cash and Â£8 million of deferred consideration. The fair value of the net assets acquired was nil, giving rise to Â£20 million of goodwill on acquisition. (d) Unaudited pro-forma combined revenues and profit Shown below are unaudited pro-forma figures for combined revenues and profit as though the acquisition date for all business combinations effected during the period had been 1 January 2005, after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments and the elimination of inter-company transactions. The pro-forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the combined results that would have been attained had the acquisitions taken place at 1 January 2005, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. 2005 Â£m Revenues (premiums and fee income) 27,842 IFRS profit before tax attributable to shareholders 2,578 =================================================================================================================== Of the above pre-tax profit, Â£21 million has arisen since acquisition. (e) Non-adjusting post-balance sheet events: (i) Irish bancassurance agreement On 22 November 2005, the Group announced a new bancassurance agreement in Ireland between its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hibernian Group plc (Hibernian) and Allied Irish Banks plc (AIB). This will create a leading force in the Irish life and pensions market and bring further opportunities for growth in this market. The transaction completed on 27 January 2006, following the receipt of regulatory and European Commission approval. Under the terms of the agreement, Hibernian Life Holdings Limited (HLH), the parent company of Hibernian Life & Pensions Limited, has acquired all the shares of Ark Life Assurance Company Limited (Ark Life) from AIB in exchange for a 24.99% stake in the enlarged HLH and a balancing cash payment of â‚¬195.4 million which also reflects the management of Ark Life funds by Hibernian Investment Managers Limited, part of the Group's fund management business. A further deferred payment of up to â‚¬10 million is payable, subject to the fulfilment of certain performance criteria. AIB calculate embedded value on a different basis to that used by the Group and, in particular, do not use EEV principles. In view of the very recent timing of completion, it is currently impractical to comply with the requirements of paragraph 67 of IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and to state with any certainty the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, and therefore to estimate the goodwill arising on this acquisition and the unrealised gain on disposal of the Group's 24.99% interest in HLH. The gain or loss on disposal of this interest in HLH will be calculated in accordance with SIC 13, Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers, and will be recognised in 2006. (ii) Acquisition in Sri Lanka On 1 February 2006, the Group acquired a 51% interest in Eagle Insurance Limited (Eagle), the third largest insurer in Sri Lanka, by buying a majority shareholding in Eagle's immediate holding company, NDB Finance Lanka (Pvt) Limited, for cash of Â£15 million. At the same time, Eagle has entered into a bancassurance agreement with National Development Bank Limited (NDB), Sri Lanka's biggest development bank and Eagle's other major shareholder. Eagle calculates embedded value on a different basis to that used by the Group and, in particular, do not use EEV principles. In view of the very recent timing of completion, it is currently impractical to comply with the requirements of paragraph 67 of IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and to state with any certainty the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, and therefore to estimate the goodwill arising on this acquisition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 46 5. Profit on the disposal of subsidiaries and associates The net profit on the disposal of subsidiary and associated undertakings comprises: 2005 2004 Â£m Â£m General insurance businesses United Kingdom 10 28 France - 6 Asia (a) 122 - Other small operations (22) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 110 34 ================================================================================================================== (a) Sale of Asian general insurance businesses During 2005, the Group completed the disposal of its Asian general insurance businesses to Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (MSI) for a total of US$450 million in cash. Under the terms of the agreement, MSI acquired all of Aviva's general insurance businesses in Asia. These comprised the general insurance business of Aviva Limited and the general insurance assets of Aviva Asia Pte Limited in Singapore; Aviva Insurance Berhad in Malaysia (including its branch in Brunei); Aviva Insurance (Thai) Company Limited in Thailand; PT Aviva Insurance in Indonesia; Dah Sing General Insurance Co Limited in Hong Kong; and Aviva's branch operations in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Marianas, Macau and Taiwan. The transaction was achieved through share purchase of Aviva's interests in joint venture operations, business purchase and asset purchase in Singapore, and transfer of Aviva's general insurance branch operations in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Marianas, Macau and Taiwan. The transaction completed in two phases. Phase I completed on 28 February 2005 and included all businesses above except for Malaysia, Indonesia, Macau, Marianas, Taiwan, Dah Sing and the Philippines. Phase II completed in December 2005 when the last of these businesses was sold, with the exception of Taiwan which completed in February 2006. Due to its immateriality, this last disposal has been treated as a 2005 transaction. The total sale proceeds were fixed by reference to the net assets of the businesses as at 31 December 2003 and were not adjusted to reflect the results in the period from 1 January 2004 to completion. The Group therefore hedged its exposure to the sale proceeds of US$450 million through the purchase of foreign currency forward contracts. The Group did not bear any continuing operating risk from 31 December 2003. The results of the Asian general insurance business have been consolidated with those of the Group's ongoing operations until the completion of each transaction. Although the Group retained no economic interest in the operations of this business beyond 31 December 2003, the post-tax operating profits have been incorporated in the Group's consolidated income statement from 1 January 2004 to the date of completion. There is a corresponding offset in the final accounting profit on sale. Total profit on sale was Â£165 million (Â£122 million after tax) and is summarised below: 2005 Â£m Net assets as at 31 December 2003 60 Post-tax operating profit to disposal 14 Dividends paid (5) FX movements on net assets 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets at disposal 73 =================================================================================================================== Proceeds 256 Less: Net assets (73) Transaction costs (18) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-tax profit on sale 165 Tax attributable to profit on sale (43) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-tax profit on sale 122 =================================================================================================================== The net assets at disposal of Â£73 million, comprised financial investments (Â£220 million) and other assets (Â£95 million), less insurance liabilities (Â£207 million) and other liabilities (Â£35 million). (b) Other In July 2005, the Group completed the sale of the business and certain operational assets and liabilities of Hyundai Cars (UK), which was acquired as part of the RAC group, to Hyundai Motor UK Limited for a total of Â£70 million. This sale did not give rise to any gain or loss. In December 2005, the Group sold its commercial fleet business in Lex Transfleet Limited to Fraikin Limited for a total of Â£69 million, of which Â£10 million is deferred consideration. The Group acquired 50% of Lex Transfleet Limited with the RAC group, and this company became a wholly-owned subsidiary after the Group acquired the remaining 50% of its share capital in November 2005. The sale resulted in a gain of Â£5 million. No other disposal is considered material for further disclosure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 47 6. Operations classified as held for sale The assets and liabilities of operations held for sale as at 31 December 2005 were as follows: 2005 2004 Â£m Â£m Intangible assets 9 - Investments and property and equipment 320 - Receivables and other financial assets 68 - Deferred acquisition costs and other assets 40 - Cash and cash equivalents 25 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets 462 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Payables and financial liabilities (96) - Other liabilities (49) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities (145) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets 317 - =================================================================================================================== In October 2005, the Group announced its decision to sell its 50% stake in Lex Vehicle Leasing (Holdings) Limited (LVL), a joint venture with HBOS, as a result of HBOS exercising an option under the JV shareholder's agreement. LVL provides vehicle leasing, supply, management, maintenance and incident support for companies who outsource the day-to-day operations of their fleets, and was acquired as a part of the Group's acquisition of RAC. Completion of the sale of the investment in LVL is expected in the second quarter of 2006 and so the relevant assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. At year end, the Group held for sale certain divisions of Manufacturer Support Services (MSS), part of the RAC group. The decision to sell is part of the Group's wider strategy to integrate RAC and exit non-core operations. The divisions being sold primarily comprise Lex Transfleet Limited, Multipart Holdings Limited and Lex Commercials Limited, both wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Hyundai Car Finance Limited, an associate in which the Group holds 49.99%. Lex Transfleet is a provider of complex fleet solutions, Multipart Holdings provides logistics and aftermarket services to the automotive sector and Lex Commercials is a leading UK commercial vehicles dealership group, while Hyundai Car Finance Limited provides vehicle instalment finance and leasing. The disposal groups have also been treated as held for sale and are expected to be sold by the second quarter of 2006. 7.

Actual income and longer-term investment return both contain the amortisation of the discount/premium arising on the acquisition of fixed income securities. The longer-term investment return is calculated separately for each principal general insurance and health business unit. In respect of equities and properties, the return is calculated by multiplying the opening market value of the investments, adjusted for sales and purchases during the period, by the longer-term rate of investment return. The longer-term rate of investment return is determined using consistent assumptions between operations, having regard to local economic and market forecasts of investment return. The allocated longer-term return for other investments is the actual income receivable for the year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 50 9. Geographical analysis of general insurance and health (continued) The principal assumptions underlying the calculation of the longer-term investment return are: Longer-term rates of return Longer-term rates of return Equities Properties --------------------------- --------------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 % % % % United Kingdom 7.6% 7.8% 6.6% 6.8% France 6.7% 7.3% 5.7% 6.3% Ireland 6.7% 7.3% 5.7% 6.3% Netherlands 6.7% 7.3% 5.7% 6.3% Canada 7.4% 7.7% 6.4% 6.7% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For 2006, the Group intends to calculate the longer-term investment return for its general insurance and health business using the same start of year economic assumptions for equities and properties as those used for EEV reporting as shown on page 31 of this announcement. The table below shows the sensitivity of the Group's general insurance and health operating profit before tax to changes in the longer-term rates of return: 2005 2004 Â£m Â£m Movement in investment return for By Change in By By Equities 1% higher/lower Group operating profit 29 25 Properties 1% higher/lower Group operating profit 4 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10.

Subject to approval by shareholders at the AGM, the dividend will be paid on 17 May 2006 and will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2006. Interest on the direct capital instrument issued in November 2004 is treated as an appropriation of retained profits and, accordingly, it is accounted for when paid. Tax relief will be obtained at a rate of 30%. Irish shareholders who are due to be paid a dividend denominated in euros will receive a payment at the exchange rate prevailing on 1 March 2006. 16.

(f) Goodwill allocation and impairment testing IFRS requires formal impairment testing to be carried out annually. For impairment testing, goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives have been allocated to cash-generating units by geographical reporting unit and business segment. The carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is reviewed at least annually or when circumstances or events indicate there may be uncertainty over this value. During the year, goodwill allocated to a life cash-generating unit in Germany was tested for impairment. Following the impairment test, an impairment charge of Â£21 million has been recognised in the income statement. The impairment charge arose as a result of the low interest rate environment in which the cash-generating unit operates in and the further decline in interest rates during the year. The recoverable amount for the cash-generating unit has been measured based on a value in use calculation. A pre-tax discount rate of 6.75% was used in the value in use calculation and cash flows beyond the plan period have been extrapolated using a steady 4.85% growth rate. The remaining Â£14 million related to other small European businesses. The 2004 impairment charge of Â£41 million comprised Â£21 million on one non-insurance Dutch operation, Â£17 million on other small European businesses and Â£3 million on other operations. Other long lived assets such as acquired additional value of in-force, and intangibles are not subject to formal impairment testing but are amortised on an annual basis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Page 60 16.

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