Notes to the condensed financial statements

 

A1 - Basis of preparation

(a)The condensed financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2010 have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU). These include IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, which specifically addresses the contents of interim condensed financial statements. The results apply the accounting policies set out in Aviva plc's 2009 Annual Report and Accounts, except as below.

In 2008, the IASB issued a revised version of IFRS 3, Business Combinations, which introduced a number of changes in accounting for such transactions that impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. A consequential amendment to IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, requires a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of control) to be accounted for as an equity transaction, rather than giving rise to goodwill or a gain or loss. Other consequential amendments were made to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 12, Income Taxes, IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, IAS 28, Investments in Associates, and IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures.

During 2008 and 2009, the IASB also issued amendments to IFRS 1, First Time Adoption of IFRS, IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment, IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and the results of its annual improvements project. IFRIC interpretation 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners, issued in 2008, has now been endorsed by the EU.

These are all applicable for the first time in the current accounting period and are now reflected in the Group's financial reporting, with no material impact.

The results for the six months to 30 June 2010 and 2009 are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditor, Ernst & Young LLP. The interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results for the full year 2009 have been taken from the Group's 2009 Annual Report and Accounts and do not in themselves constitute statutory accounts. The auditor has reported on the 2009 financial statements and the report was unqualified and did not contain a Statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's 2009 Report and Accounts have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the group as a whole have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

(b) 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 presentational currency. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts shown in the financial statements are in millions of pounds sterling (£m). As supplementary information, consolidated financial information is also presented in euros.

(c) Restatement of prior period figures

The following restatements were actioned in the Group's 2009 financial statements. As these restatements took place in the second half of 2009, the comparative figures for the six months to 30 June 2009 are now restated in this report.

(i) During 2009, the Group undertook a review of our accounting policy for cash and cash equivalents. Previously, we defined these as normally having a maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition. To avoid ambiguity, our accounting policy has been refined to impose a cut-off date of exactly three months, allowing us to delete "normally" from the policy wording. This refinement of policy resulted in a reclassification of certain short-dated instruments between cash and cash equivalents and financial investments.

The impact of this refinement was to increase financial investments and reduce cash and cash equivalents at 1 January 2009 and 30 June 2009 by £538 million and £518 million respectively compared to the amounts previously stated. As a consequence of this, cash flows from operating activities for the six month period to 30 June 2009 have decreased by £51 million, with the effect of exchange rate movements accounting for the remaining £71 million.

(ii) During 2009, the Group's Dutch subsidiary, Delta Lloyd, carried out a review of the way it had been applying IAS 19, Employee Benefits, in its own financial statements where the corridor method of smoothing actuarial gains and losses in its pension schemes is followed; in accounting for its self-insured pension obligations and intercompany eliminations; and in its reporting to Group where the corridor accounting is reversed. The review concluded that errors had been made locally in applying IAS 19 on the transition to IFRS and in subsequent years, such that gains on certain assets had been reported in provisions, to be released over time, rather than through other comprehensive income. The impact of correcting these errors was to reduce other liabilities by £170 million as at 1 January 2009, increase deferred tax liabilities by £43 million and increase retained earnings at that date by £127 million.

A2 - Exchange rates

The group's principal overseas operations during the period were located within the Eurozone and the United States. The results and cash flows of these operations have been translated at the average rates for the period and the assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rates as follows:

Total foreign currency movements during the period resulted in a loss recognised in the income statement of £22 million (30 June 2009: £111 million gain; 31 December 2009: £154 million gain).

A3 - Subsidiaries

(a) Acquisitions

River Road Asset Management

On 24 February 2010, the Group acquired 100% of River Road Asset Management ("River Road"), a US equity manager, to support the expansion of Aviva Investors' third party institutional asset management business. The total consideration was estimated as £83 million (US$128 million), of which £37 million (US$57 million) was paid in cash on completion. The balance comprises undiscounted contingent consideration.

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Group to pay amounts over the next five years, based on a multiple of the earnings (1.0792 times) during that period, up to a maximum of £70 million (US$108 million). The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Group could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between £26 million (US$41 million) and £53 million (US$82 million). A fair value liability of £24 million, using a discount rate of 17%, has been recognised for potential consideration that is payable in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The acquisition has given rise to goodwill of £29 million, calculated as follows:

The assets and liabilities as at the acquisition date are stated at their provisional fair values and may be amended until 23 February 2011. The fair value adjustment for intangible assets relates to customer relationships acquired. Goodwill of £29 million arising from this acquisition consists largely of new business and new product introductions.

A4 - Segmental information

(a) Operating segments

The Group has determined its operating segments along regional lines. These reflect the management structure whereby a member of the Executive Management team is accountable to the Group Chief Executive for the operating segment for which he is responsible. The activities of each operating segment are described below:

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom comprises two operating segments - UK Life and UK General Insurance (UK GI). The principal activities of UK Life are life insurance, long-term health and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business, whilst UK GI provides insurance cover to individuals and businesses, for risks associated mainly with motor vehicles, property and liability, such as employers' liability and professional indemnity liability, and medical expenses. UK GI also includes the RAC motor recovery business, the group reinsurance result and the results of run off agency business.

Aviva Europe

Activities reported in the Aviva Europe operating segment exclude operations in the UK and Delta Lloyd but include those in Russia, Turkey and UAE. Principal activities are long-term business in France, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Spain, and general insurance in France, Ireland and Italy.

Delta Lloyd

The activities of Delta Lloyd comprise long-term business operations in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and general insurance, fund management and banking operations in the Netherlands.

North America

Our activities in North America principally comprise our long-term business operations in the US and general insurance business operation in Canada.

Asia Pacific

Our activities in Asia Pacific principally comprise our long-term business operations in China, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Malaysia, and South Korea.

Aviva Investors

Aviva Investors operates in most of the regions in which the Group operates, in particular the UK, France, the US, Canada and other international businesses, managing policyholders' and shareholders' invested funds, providing investment management services for institutional pension fund mandates and managing a range of retail investment products, including investment funds, unit trusts, OEICs and ISAs. Fund management activities of Delta Lloyd are included in the separate operating segment above.

Other Group activities

Investment return on centrally held assets and head office expenses, such as Group treasury and finance functions, together with certain taxes and financing costs arising on central borrowings are included in "Other Group activities". Similarly, central core structural borrowings and certain tax balances are included in "Other Group activities" in the segmental statement of financial position. Also included here are consolidation and elimination adjustments.

Measurement basis

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Group as a whole. Any transactions between the business segments are on normal commercial terms and market conditions. The Group evaluates performance of operating segments on the basis of:

(i) profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders.

(ii) profit or loss from operations before tax attributable to shareholders, adjusted for non-operating items outside the segment management's control, including investment market performance and fiscal policy changes.

*  Total reported income, excluding inter-segment revenue, is split United Kingdom £8,787 million, France £4,511 million, Netherlands £4,921 million, USA £2,842 million and Rest of the World £7,935 million. Income is attributed on the basis of geographical origin which does not materially differ from revenue by geographical destination, as most risks are located in the countries where the contracts were written.

**All fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are recorded in the investment valuation reserve. Where these investments are considered to be impaired, the relevant losses are then transferred to the income statement. Impairment losses, and reversal of such losses, recognised directly in other comprehensive income were £89 million and £nil respectively.

#  United Kingdom General Insurance includes the Group Reinsurance business, agency run off business and the non-insurance business for the RAC.

*  Total reported income, excluding inter-segment revenue, is split United Kingdom £18,165 million, France £12,890 million, Netherlands £7,735 million, USA £6,350 million and Rest of the World £14,545 million. Income is attributed on the basis of geographical origin which does not materially differ from revenue by geographical destination, as most risks are located in the countries where the contracts were written.

** All fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are recorded in the investment valuation reserve. Where these investments are considered to be impaired, the relevant losses are then transferred to the income statement. Impairment losses, and reversal of such losses, recognised directly in other comprehensive income were £3 million and £nil respectively.

#  United Kingdom General Insurance includes the Group Reinsurance business, agency run off business and the non-insurance business for the RAC.

A gradual reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 28% to 24% over 4 years was announced in the Emergency Budget of 22 June 2010. The Finance Bill published on 1 July 2010 included the first of the 1% rate reductions with effect from April 2011, with subsequent reductions to be dealt with by future legislation. The benefit to the Group's net assets arising from the 4% reduction of the rate is estimated as c£120 million in total and will be effected as the legislation is substantively enacted.

Subsequent to 30 June 2010, the directors proposed an interim dividend for 2010 of 9.5 pence per ordinary share (HY09: 9.0 pence), amounting to £266 million (HY09: £247 million) in total. The dividend will be paid on 17 November 2010 and will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2010.

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 is obtained at a rate of 28% (2009: 28%).

The impact of interest rates for long-term business relates primarily to the UK and the Netherlands, driven by the market level of risk-free rates. Lower valuation interest rates in 2010 had the effect of increasing liabilities for traditional business and hence a negative impact on profit. This follows an increase in market interest rates in the first half of 2009 which had the reverse effect. The overall impact on profit also depends on movements in the value of assets backing the liabilities, which is not included in this disclosure. The impacts for persistency and other assumptions include the review of reserves in Ireland.

On 20 April 2010, the Group advised its UK staff and the Trustees of the Aviva Staff Pension Scheme (ASPS) and the RAC staff pension scheme that it intended to begin consultation with them on a proposal to close the final salary sections of these schemes.  This consultation is under way and is expected to be concluded by the end of the year. A long-term funding plan for the deficit in the ASPS has now been agreed with the scheme Trustees, where contributions, together with anticipated growth in scheme investments, are expected to eliminate the ASPS deficit over time. As part of this funding plan, Aviva is expecting to make contributions of £365 million in 2010 towards the funding of the ASPS deficit, of which £337 million has been paid in the first half of this year.

A17 - Risk management

Risk management

As a global company, we face a diverse range of risks, each of which has the potential to impact financial performance or hinder the achievement of business objectives. If we do not manage these risks effectively we could miss potential opportunities to further develop and expand our business.

At Aviva, sound risk management is a key component of our business and is an integral part of maintaining financial stability for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. We group the type of risks we face into three categories; financial, strategic, and operational.

- Financial risks cover market and credit risk, insurance risk, liquidity and capital management.

- Strategic risks relate to areas such as customer, brand and products as well as any risks to our business model arising from changes in our market and risks arising from mergers and acquisitions.

- Operational risks arise from inadequate or failed internal processes, or from people and systems or from external events. This includes business protection, information technology, people, legal and regulatory compliance risks.

We operate within a three lines of defence model. Primary responsibility for risk identification and management lies with business management (the 1st line of defence). Support for and challenge on the completeness and accuracy of risk assessment, risk reporting and adequacy of mitigation plans are performed by specialist risk functions (the 2nd line of defence). Independent and objective assurance on the robustness of the risk management framework and the appropriateness and effectiveness of internal control is provided by group internal audit (the 3rd line of defence).

We employ effective processes to identify, assess, mitigate, manage and monitor the risks to which we are exposed. We make appropriate decisions to limit and control the impact the risks may have on our strategic objectives. To ensure that risks are effectively identified and assessed and that appropriate controls and responses are in place, we support all group-wide risk management activities through a central risk team, led by the Group chief risk officer. In each of our regions, regional chief risk officers ensure that the regional risk profiles remain within the limits set centrally. As well as working with the regions, the central risk team is also responsible for managing group risk governance and oversight. A full description of our approach and management of risks is set out in the 2009 Annual Report and Accounts.

In accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Directive (DTR 4.2.7) we provide an update here on the material risks and uncertainties facing the group for the next six months.

Market risk

The world-wide economic environment for this half year report remains uncertain. Even though some indicators are beginning to show a positive trend there is a risk that recovery could be delayed, or in a worst case reverse. As a result we expect to continue to see heightened levels of market volatility in respect of interest rates, asset values and foreign exchange rates.

Aviva regularly monitors its investment holdings and asset-liability matching and we continue to explore new ways of mitigating the risks we are exposed to. We actively manage our equity exposures and have purchased additional protection in the half year to June 2010 to hedge against extreme scenarios. We consider equity hedging to continue to be appropriate to protect the Group's financial position against a general decline in economic conditions.

Credit risk

Credit spreads for both corporate and sovereign debt have widened in the first half of the year reflecting concerns about sovereign risks and the effectiveness of economic austerity measures, especially in certain Eurozone countries. Aviva has taken a prudent approach to its overall credit risk exposure including a reduction in some counterparty credit limits and increased monitoring and management of exposures.

Liquidity risk

We need to ensure that we maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet our cash flow obligations as they fall due. All our businesses identify their sources of liquidity risk and monitor the potential exposures.

At a group level we maintain a prudent level of liquidity by holding a buffer of liquid assets to cover unforeseen circumstances. In addition, the group maintains significant committed undrawn borrowing facilities from a range of leading international banks.

Currency risk

As an international business we are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates of various currencies; these affect the value of shareholders' funds which are expressed in sterling. Generally we do not hedge foreign currency revenues as these are substantially retained locally to support growth in the business units and meet local regulatory and market requirements. We monitor and manage centrally against pre-determined limits the amount of foreign exchange risk to our group's consolidated shareholders' equity. Limits are set to control the extent to which deployment of capital is not aligned fully with the Group's regulatory capital requirements by currency. We use currency borrowings and derivatives to actively manage currency exposures within the limits that have been set.

A17 - Risk management continued

Insurance risk

We continue to monitor our insurance risks, particularly those most affected by economic conditions, such as customer retention, creditor insurance and general insurance claims. Where appropriate we take steps to address emerging trends via underwriting or rating changes in order to ensure we deliver the right level of profit from our insurance business.

Regulatory risk

The macro economic uncertainty is driving increased regulatory scrutiny of the group's business; however we continue to maintain constructive relationships with our regulators around the globe. We face substantial change in the regulatory framework driven by the implementation of the Solvency II Directive in Europe as well as national, European and global regulatory reform proposals in response to the financial crisis.

Regulatory changes will also influence future distribution opportunities for our products and services. In the USA, passage of the Financial Reform1 legislation effectively assured that the distribution of equity indexed annuity products will continue to be regulated by state insurance departments rather than the SEC. In the UK, the Retail Distribution Review, which is scheduled for implementation at the end of 2012, is expected to significantly change the landscape for the distribution of life and pensions contracts. We continue to work with regulatory bodies to ensure appropriate outcomes from an insurance industry perspective and prepare for the necessary business changes.

Brand and reputation risk

Our success and results are, to a certain extent, dependent on the strength of our brands, the brands of our partners and our reputation with customers and agents in the sale of our products and services. While we as a Group are well recognised, we are vulnerable to adverse market and customer perception. Any of our brands or our reputation could also be affected if products or services recommended by us (or any of our intermediaries) do not perform as expected (whether or not the expectations are founded) or the customer's expectations for the product change. We monitor this risk closely and have controls in place to limit this risk.

We have noted no material changes to the other risks identified in the 2009 Annual Report and Accounts.

A18 - Subsequent events

There have been no subsequent events to report.

During HY10, the operating cost base decreased 4% to £2,403 million (HY09: £2,493 million). The like-for-like cost base presented below is adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange, businesses acquired/disposed of during the year and elimination of one-off restructuring and integration spend from the cost base in both years. The like-for-like cost base increased by 1% to £2,331 million compared with a 30 June 2009 like-for-like cost base of £2,307 million. This is against 4% growth in life business (long-term savings sales up 4% on HY09 to £20.2 billion) and 2% growth in general insurance and health business (net written premiums up 2% to £5 billion)

Independent review report to Aviva plc

 

 

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2010 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes A1 to A18 on pages 28 to 54. Our review did not extend to the information disclosed in notes A19 to A22. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standards 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 (ISRE 2410). To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

As disclosed in note A1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410. 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 condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
