The cash flows presented in this statement cover all the Group's activities and include flows from both policyholder and shareholder activities. Operating cash flows reflect the movement in both policyholder and shareholder controlled cash and cash equivalent balances.

      During the period the net operating cash outflow reflects a number of factors, including the level of premium income, payments of claims, creditors and surrenders and purchases and sales of operating assets including financial investments. It also includes changes in the size and value of consolidated cash investment funds and changes in the Group participation in these funds.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

 

B1 - Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (EU), and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.

The accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in Aviva plc's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards as detailed in Note B2.

The results for the six months to 30 June 2014 are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 2013 have been taken from the Group's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts and have been restated for the adoption of amendments to an existing accounting standard noted in Note B2. Therefore, these interim accounts should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts that were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported on the 2013 financial statements and their report was unqualified and did not contain a Statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts has 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 interim financial statements.

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 pounds 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).

The long-term nature of much of the Group's operations means that, for management's decision-making and internal performance management, short-term realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are treated as non-operating items. As a result, the Group focuses on an operating profit measure that incorporates an expected return on investments supporting its long-term and non-long-term businesses. Operating profit for long-term business is based on expected investment returns on financial investments backing shareholder and policyholder funds over the reporting period, with allowance for the corresponding expected movements in liabilities. Variances between actual and expected investment returns, and the impact of changes in economic assumptions on liabilities, are disclosed separately outside operating profit. For non-long-term business, the total investment income, including realised and unrealised gains, is analysed between that calculated using a longer-term return and short-term fluctuations from that level. Operating profit also excludes impairment of goodwill, joint ventures and associates; amortisation and impairment of intangibles; the profit or loss on disposal and remeasurement of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates; integration and restructuring costs; and exceptional items.

B2 - New standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that have been adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation that became effective as of 1 January 2014. These amendments clarify the meaning of 'currently legally enforceable right to set-off' to reinforce that a right to set-off must not be contingent on any future event, including counterparty default or bankruptcy.  Additionally, IAS 32 clarified that a settlement mechanism must be in place to ensure settlement in practice that is either simultaneous or sufficient to result in insignificant credit and liquidity risk. The amendments to IAS 32 have been applied retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard. The primary impact of the application of the amendments has resulted in the grossing up of certain assets and liabilities related to derivatives and repurchase arrangements in the statement of financial position that were previously reported net. There is no impact on the profit or loss or equity for any period presented. The effect on the statement of financial position at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2013 is set out in the table below.

The change in cash and cash equivalents of £2,587 million at 30 June 2013 (31 December 2013: £1,132 million) has been presented in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as an increase of opening cash and cash equivalents of £1,111 million as at 1 January 2013, an increase in net cash flows from operating activities for the six months then ended of £1,397 million (year ended 31 December 2013: £8 million decrease) and an increase in the effect of exchange rate changes of £79 million (31 December 2013: £29 million).  There is no impact from the adoption of these amendments on the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income or condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the periods ended 30 June 2013 or 31 December 2013. 

      During the period ended 30 June 2014, the Group also adopted new amendments and interpretations to IFRSs that became effective on 1 January 2014 which had no effect on these interim consolidated financial statements.

B3 - Exchange rates

The Group's principal overseas operations during the period were located within the Eurozone, Canada and Poland. The results and cash flows of these operations have been translated into sterling at the average rates for the period and the assets and liabilities have been translated at the period end rates as follows:

(i) Indonesia

In the second half of 2013, management decided to restructure existing operations in Indonesia and establish a new joint venture. The Indonesian operations were classified as held for sale at 31 December 2013 as Aviva's holding was to change from a 60% controlling interest which was consolidated to a 50% joint venture accounted for using equity accounting. On 17 January 2014, Aviva and PT Astra International Tbk signed an agreement to form the 50-50 joint venture (Astra Aviva Life) which completed in May 2014. A net gain of £1 million was recognised during HY14. Recycling of currency translation and investment valuation reserves of £4 million on completion resulted in an overall net loss of £3 million.

(ii) Korea

In 2013, management determined that the value of our long-term business joint venture in South Korea, Woori Aviva Life Insurance Co. Ltd, would be principally recovered through sale and it was classified as held for sale and re-measured at fair value, based on expected sales proceeds less costs to sell of £19 million.

      On 27 June 2014 the Group completed its disposal of the 47% interest for consideration of £17 million, after transaction costs.  Net assets disposed of were £19 million resulting in a loss of £2 million (FY13: £20 million loss on re-measurement). Recycling of currency translation and investment valuation reserves of £4 million on completion resulted in an overall net gain during HY14 of £2 million.

(iii) Eurovita

In the first half of 2013, the Italian long-term business Eurovita Assicurazioni S.p.A ("Eurovita") was classified as held for sale, as a result of management determining that the value of the business would be principally recovered through sale.  Finoa Srl ("Finoa"), an Italian holding company in which Aviva owns a 50% share, owns a 77.55% share of Eurovita. Following classification as held for sale, Eurovita was re-measured at fair value based on expected sales proceeds less costs to sell of £39 million with a re-measurement loss of £178 million (Aviva share: £74 million loss) at FY13.

      On 30 June 2014 Finoa disposed of its entire interest in Eurovita for gross cash consideration of £36 million.  The overall loss on the sale of Finoa's 77.55% stake in Eurovita was £6 million analysed as:

1    A loan between Aviva and Eurovita had been provided against in 2013 as its repayment was uncertain as of 31 December 2013. However, this provision was reversed in HY14 as the loan was repaid in full upon the
closing of the sale.

(iv) River Road

On 28 March 2014 Aviva Investors announced its agreement to sell US equity manager River Road Asset Management, LLC ("River Road") to Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. The sale was completed on 30 June 2014 for consideration of £74 million, after transaction costs.  Assets disposed of were £42 million, comprised of £38 million of goodwill and intangibles and £4 million of other investments, resulting in a £32 million gain on disposal.

(v) Discontinued operations - US long term business

The sale of the Aviva USA business completed on 2 October 2013 and the transaction proceeds received were based on the estimated earnings and other improvements in statutory surplus over the period from 30 June 2012 to 30 September 2013. The final purchase price is subject to customary completion adjustments. The process to agree completion adjustments is on-going and is expected to complete in the second half of 2014. Until the outcome of this process is known there remains uncertainty on the final determination of the completion adjustment. The transaction resulted in a profit on disposal of £808 million in 2013, reflecting management's best estimate of the completion adjustment.

(c) Assets and liabilities of operations classified as held for sale

During 2014 it was determined that the value of the Group's Taiwan joint venture, First-Aviva Life Insurance Co. Ltd. ("Taiwan") , would no longer be recovered principally through a sale. As a result, the business was reclassified out of "Assets of operations held for sale" and into "Interests in, and loans to, joint ventures". As the recoverable amount at the date it ceased to be held for sale was lower than its carrying value when it was classified as held for sale, no re-measurement gain or loss was recorded following this reclassification.

      The assets and liabilities of operations classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2014 are as follows:

Assets held for sale as of 30 June 2014 relate to the general insurance operations in Turkey and other small operations. In the second half of 2013 management committed to sell the Turkey general insurance business. As of 31 December 2013 the business was re-measured at fair value based on an expected sales price less costs to sell of £2 million resulting in a loss on re-measurement of £9 million in FY13 following its classification as held for sale. At 30 June 2014, the business remains held for sale. In the first half of 2014, the underlying carrying value decreased from £11 million to £2 million while the fair value remained unchanged, resulting in a re-measurement gain of £9 million in HY14.

B5 - Segmental information

The Group's results can be segmented, either by activity or by geography. Our primary reporting format is along market reporting lines, with supplementary information being given by business activity. This note provides segmental information on the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

      The Group has determined its operating segments along market reporting lines. These reflect the management structure whereby a member of the Executive Management team is accountable to the Group CEO for the operating segment for which they are responsible.

United Kingdom & Ireland

The United Kingdom and Ireland comprises two operating segments - Life and General Insurance. The principal activities of our UK and Ireland Life operations are life insurance, long-term health (in the UK) and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business, whilst UK and Ireland General Insurance 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 & Ireland General Insurance includes the results of our Ireland Health business.

France

The principal activities of our French operations are long-term business and general insurance. The long-term business offers a range of long-term insurance and savings products, primarily for individuals, with a focus on the unit-linked market. The general insurance business predominantly sells personal and small commercial lines insurance products through agents and a direct insurer.

Poland

Activities in Poland comprise long-term business and general insurance operations.

Italy, Spain and Other

These countries are not individually significant at a Group level, so have been aggregated into a single reporting segment in line with IFRS 8. This segment includes our operations in Italy and Spain (including Aseval up until the date of its disposal in April 2013 and Eurovita up until the date of its disposal in June 2014). The principal activities of our Italian operations are long-term business and general insurance. The long term business offers a range of long-term insurance and savings products, and the general insurance business provides motor and home insurance products to individuals, as well as small commercial risk insurance to businesses. The principal activity of the Spanish operation is the sale of long-term business, accident and health insurance and a selection of savings products. Our Other European operations include Turkey (both Life and General Insurance); the operations of Turkey General Insurance are classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2014. This segment also includes the results of our Russian and Romanian businesses until the date of their disposals in 2013.

Canada

The principal activity of the Canadian operation is general insurance. In particular it provides personal and commercial lines insurance products through a range of distribution channels.

Asia

Our activities in Asia principally comprise our long-term business operations in China, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia and Taiwan. This segment also includes the results of Malaysia and South Korea until the date of their disposals (in April 2013 and June 2014 respectively). Asia also includes general insurance operations in Singapore and health operations in Indonesia.

Aviva Investors

Aviva Investors operates in most of the markets in which the Group operates, in particular the UK, France and 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. This segment also includes the results of River Road Asset Management LLC until the date of its disposal (in June 2014).

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', along with central core structural borrowings and certain tax balances in the segmental statement of financial position. The results of our reinsurance operations are also included in this segment.

Discontinued operations

In October 2013, the Group sold its US Life and annuity business and associated investment management operations ('US Life') and therefore the results of US Life up to that date are presented as discontinued operations for the comparative periods in the financial statements.

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 subject to 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.

Accordingly, the tax benefit or expense attributable to UK, Ireland and Singapore insurance policyholder returns is included in the tax charge. The tax charge attributable to policyholders' returns included in the charge above is £93 million (HY13: £18 million credit; FY13: £191 million charge).

(c) Tax credited to equity

Tax credited directly to equity in the period in respect of coupon payments on direct capital instruments and fixed rate tier 1 notes amounted to £4 million (HY13: £4 million; FY13: £22 million). In addition, at 31 December 2013, tax of £30 million was credited to equity in respect of the recycling of the currency translation reserve to the income statement on the sale of Aviva USA Corporation.

The tax charge/(credit) attributable to policyholders' returns is removed from the Group's total profit before tax in arriving at the Group's profit before tax attributable to shareholders' profits. As the net of tax profit attributable to with-profit and unit-linked policyholders is zero, the Group's pre-tax profit/(loss) attributable to policyholders is an amount equal and opposite to the tax charge/(credit) attributable to policyholders included in the total tax charge. The difference between the policyholder tax charge/(credit) and the impact of this item in the tax reconciliation can be explained as follows:

Legislation was substantively enacted in July 2013 to reduce the main rate of UK corporation tax to 21% from 1 April 2014, with a further reduction to 20% from 1 April 2015. The 20% rate has been used in the calculation of the UK's deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2014.

The actual number of shares in issue at 30 June 2014 was 2,948 million (HY13: 2,947 million; FY13: 2,947 million) and 2,945 million (HY13: 2,944 million; FY13: 2,938 million) excluding shares owned by the employee share trusts.

Subsequent to 30 June 2014, the directors declared an interim dividend for 2014 of 5.85 pence per ordinary share (HY13: 5.60 pence), amounting to £172 million (HY13: £165 million) in total. The dividend will be paid on 17 November and will be accounted for as an appropriation of retained earnings in the year ending 31 December 2014.

      Interest on the direct capital instruments issued in November 2004 and the fixed rate tier 1 notes issued in May 2012 is treated as an appropriation of retained profits and, accordingly, is accounted for when paid. Tax relief is obtained at a rate of 21.5% (2013: 23.25%).

(ii) Change in insurance liabilities recognised as an expense

The purpose of the following table is to reconcile the change in insurance liabilities, net of reinsurance, shown on the income statement, to the change in insurance liabilities recognised as an expense in the relevant movement tables in this note. The components of the reconciliation are the change in provision for outstanding claims on long-term business (which is not included in a separate movement table), and the unwind of discounting on GI reserves (which is included within finance costs within the income statement). For general insurance and health business, the change in the provision for unearned premiums is not included in the reconciliation as, within the income statement, this is included within earned premiums.

1    Balances in respect of all reinsurance treaties are included under reinsurance assets, regardless of whether they transfer significant insurance risk. The reinsurance assets classified as non-participating investment contracts are financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss. The only exception is at 30 June 2013 where there are £101 million of reinsurance assets measured at amortised cost in US Life which was disposed on 2 October 2013.

B12 - Effect of changes in assumptions and estimates during the period

This disclosure only allows for the impact on liabilities and related assets, such as unallocated divisible surplus, reinsurance, deferred acquisition costs and AVIF, and does not allow for offsetting movements in the value of backing financial assets.

The impact of interest rates on long-term business relates primarily to UK annuities (including any change in credit default provisions), where a reduction in the valuation interest rates has increased liabilities. The overall impact on profit also depends on movements in the value of assets backing the liabilities, which is not included in this disclosure. There has been a release of expense reserves for UK annuities of £100 million as a result of continuing restructuring and process improvements, reducing the current and long-term cost base. IFRS margins in annuity reserves have been amended to ensure consistency across the business, leading to a release of reserves.

The amount of UDS has increased significantly at 30 June 2014 driven primarily by positive investment market movements in Continental Europe. These have been caused by the significant appreciation of assets due to the fall in Eurozone government (and corporate) bond yields.

      Negative UDS balances result from an accounting mismatch between participating assets carried at market value and participating liabilities measured using local practice. Any negative balances are tested for recoverability using embedded value methodology and in line with local accounting practice. Testing is conducted at a participating fund-level within each life entity.

      Following the reversal of previous losses, all Italian participating funds at 30 June 2014 had positive UDS balances with the exception of some very small funds. The method for estimation of the recoverable negative UDS balance uses a real-world embedded value method, with a risk-discount rate of 6.10% (HY13: 6.65%, FY13: 6.60%). The embedded value method includes an implicit allowance for the time value of options and guarantees. The negative UDS balances in Italy were tested for recoverability and £1 million of negative UDS was considered irrecoverable (HY13:  £105 million, of which £95 million was for Eurovita; FY13: £42 million, of which £39 million was for Eurovita). The remaining carrying value of negative UDS is £nil. The total UDS balance in Italy was £708 million positive at 30 June 2014 (HY13: £46 million negative, FY13: £205 million positive).

      In Spain, all participating funds had positive UDS balances at 30 June 2014, and consequently testing of negative UDS was not required. The carrying value of UDS was £209 million positive (HY13: £62 million positive, FY13: £132 million positive).

B14 - Borrowings

In April 2014 Aviva redeemed £200 million and €50 million Subordinated Notes due in 2019 at their first call dates.

      On 3 July 2014 Aviva plc issued €700 million of subordinated debt at an issue price of 99.699% of the nominal amount and bearing interest at 3.875% per annum. This subordinated debt matures on 3 July 2044 but the Company may, at its sole option, redeem all (but not part) of the debt on 3 July 2024 and on each interest payment date thereafter. The subordinated debt qualifies as tier 2 capital under current regulatory rules.

B16 - Related party transactions

During the period, there have been no changes in the nature of the related party transactions from those described in the Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013. There were no transactions with related parties that had a material effect on the result for the period ended 30 June 2014, 30 June 2013 or 31 December 2013.

B17 - Fair value

This note explains the methodology for valuing our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and for fair value disclosures. It also provides an analysis of these according to a 'fair value hierarchy', determined by the market observability of valuation inputs.

(a) Basis for determining fair value hierarchy

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the 'fair value hierarchy' described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1

Inputs to Level 1 fair values are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2

Inputs to Level 2 fair values are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the instrument. Level 2 inputs include the following:

n Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

n Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly.

n Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

n Market-corroborated inputs.

 

Where we use broker quotes and no information as to the observability of inputs is provided by the broker, the investments are classified as follows:

n Where the broker price is validated by using internal models with market observable inputs and the values are similar, we classify the investment as Level 2.

n In circumstances where internal models are not used to validate broker prices, or the observability of inputs used by brokers is unavailable, the investment is classified as Level 3.

Level 3

Inputs to Level 3 fair values are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may have been used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, i.e. an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions the business unit considers that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Examples are investment properties, certain private equity investments and private placements.

      The majority of the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on quoted market information or observable market data. 15.9% of assets and 1.6% of liabilities measured at fair value are based on estimates and recorded as Level 3. Where estimates are used, these are based on a combination of independent third-party evidence and internally developed models, calibrated to market observable data where possible. Third-party valuations using significant unobservable inputs validated against Level 2 internally modelled valuations are classified as Level 3, where there is a significant difference between the third-party price and the internally modelled value. Where the difference is insignificant, the instrument would be classified as Level 2.

(b) Changes to valuation technique

There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the period compared to those described in the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements, other than those noted below.

B17 - Fair value continued

(e) Transfers between Levels of the fair value hierarchy

For financial instruments that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels of the fair value hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of the reporting period.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

During the six month period ended 30 June 2014, transfers of financial assets from fair value hierarchy Level 1 to Level 2 amounted to £3.1 billion. These principally arose in the UK and Ireland as a result of the enhanced understanding of pricing vendor methodologies for the fair value hierarchy classification of certain debt securities.

      Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 amounted to £0.2 billion and arose in Spain as a result in changes in the level of market activity for those debt securities.

Transfers to/from Level 3

Transfers out of Level 3 of £287 million relate principally to improvements in the market liquidity of debt securities held by our business in France, which were transferred to Level 1 where quoted market prices became available from an active market, or to Level 2 where valuations based on observable inputs became available.

      Transfers into Level 3 relate principally to debt securities held in the UK which were transferred from Level 2 due to the unavailability of market observable prices.

Total net gains recognised in the income statement in the six-month period ended 30 June 2014 in respect of Level 3 assets measured at fair value amounted to £554 million with net losses in respect of liabilities of £33 million. Included in this balance are £497 million of net gains attributable to those assets and £32 million net losses attributable to those liabilities still held at the end of the period.

 

The principal assets classified as Level 3, and the valuation techniques applied to them, are:

n Commercial mortgage loans held by our UK Life business amounting to £9.7 billion (FY13: £9.9 billion), valued using a Portfolio Credit Risk Model (PCRM). This model calculates a Credit Risk Adjusted Value (CRAV) for each mortgage. The risk adjusted cash flows are discounted using a yield curve, taking into account the term dependent gilt yield curve, and global assumptions for the liquidity premium. The mortgage loans have been classified as Level 3 as the liquidity premium is not deemed to be market observable.

n Equity release mortgage loans held by our UK Life business amounting to £5.1 billion (FY13: £4.7 billion), valued using a Discounted Cash Flow model (DCF). Cash flows are adjusted for credit risk and discounted using a yield curve and global assumptions for the liquidity premium. The mortgage loans have been classified as Level 3 as assumptions used to derive the credit risk, liquidity premium and property risk are not deemed to be market observable.

n Investment property amounting to £8.6 billion (FY13: £9.5 billion). In the UK, investment property is valued at least annually by external chartered surveyors in accordance with guidance issued by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and using estimates during the intervening period. Outside the UK, valuations are produced by local qualified staff of the Group or external qualified professional valuers in the countries concerned. Fair values are determined using an income method, by which own lease agreement cash-flows are adjusted for anticipated uplifts, and discounted by rates implied by recent market transactions for similar properties where available. These inputs are deemed unobservable.

n Structured bond-type and non-standard debt products held by our business in France amounting to £6.4 billion (FY13: £7.1 billion), for which there is no active market. These bonds are valued either using counterparty or broker quotes. These bonds are validated against internal or third-party models. These bonds have been classified as Level 3 because either (i) the third-party models included a significant unobservable liquidity adjustment or (ii) differences between the valuation provided by the counterparty and broker quotes and the validation model were sufficiently significant to result in a Level 3 classification. The values reported in respect of these products were the lower of counterparty and broker quotes and internally modelled valuations.

B17 - Fair value continued 

n Private equity investment funds amounting to £1.0 billion (FY13: £1.1 billion), together with external hedge funds held principally by businesses in the UK and France amounting to £1.1 billion (FY13: £1.1 billion), and property funds amounting to £0.6 billion (FY13: £0.5 billion) are valued based on external reports received from the fund manager. Where these valuations are at a date other than balance sheet date, as in the case of some private equity funds, we make adjustments for items such as subsequent draw-downs and distributions and the fund manager's carried interest.

n Level 3 investments including a collateralised loan obligation of £0.4 billion (FY13: £0.4 billion) and UK non-recourse loans of £0.5 billion (FY13: £0.8 billion) have been valued using internally developed discounted cash flow models.

n Investments including debt securities held by our French business of £0.7 billion (FY13: £0.7 billion) and notes issued by loan partnerships held by our UK Life business amounting to £0.2 billion (FY13: £0.3 billion) have been valued using third party or counterparty valuations.

n Other Level 3 investments amount to £1.5 billion (restated FY13: £1.2 billion) and relate to a diverse range of different types of securities held by a number of businesses throughout the Group.

 

Where possible, the Group tests the sensitivity of the fair values of Level 3 investments to changes in unobservable inputs to reasonable alternatives. Valuations for Level 3 investments are sourced from independent third parties when available and, where appropriate, validated against internally-modelled valuations, third-party models or broker quotes. Where third-party pricing sources are unwilling to provide a sensitivity analysis for their valuations, the Group undertakes, where feasible, sensitivity analysis on the following basis:

n For third-party valuations validated against internally-modelled valuations using significant unobservable inputs, the sensitivity of the internally modelled valuation to changes in unobservable inputs to a reasonable alternative is determined.

n For third-party valuations either not validated or validated against a third-party model or broker quote, the third-party valuation in its entirety is considered an unobservable input. Sensitivities are determined by flexing inputs of internal models to a reasonable alternative, including the yield, NAV multiple, IRR or other suitable valuation multiples of the financial instrument implied by the third-party valuation. For example, for a fixed income security the implied yield would be the rate of return which discounts the security's contractual cash flows to equal the third-party valuation.

 

On the basis of the methodology outlined above, the Group is able to perform sensitivity analysis for £35.0 billion of the Group's Level 3 assets. For these Level 3 investments, changing unobservable valuation inputs to a reasonable alternative would result in a change in fair value by ± £1.7 billion. Of the £0.8 billion Level 3 investments for which sensitivity analysis is not provided, it is estimated that a 10% change in valuation downwards of these investments would result in a change in fair value of £80 million.

 

The principal liabilities classified as Level 3, and the valuation techniques applied to them, are:

n Securitised mortgage loan notes of £0.5 billion (FY13: £0.5 billion). These are valued using a similar technique to the related Level 3 equity release mortgage loans described above.

n Derivative liabilities of £0.4 billion (restated FY13: £0.2 billion) represent exposures to over the counter derivatives such as credit default swaps and inflation swaps. These swaps are valued using either a DCF model or other valuation models. Cash flows within these models may be adjusted based on assumptions reflecting the underlying credit risk and liquidity risk and these assumptions are deemed to be not market observable.

n Net asset value attributable to unitholders of £0.1 billion (FY13: £nil) relates to minority interests in consolidated investment funds that are priced based on unobservable inputs.

 

Where possible, the Group tests the sensitivity of the fair values of Level 3 liabilities to changes in unobservable inputs to reasonable alternatives. Sensitivities are determined by flexing inputs of internal models to a reasonable alternative, including the yield, NAV multiple, IRR or other suitable valuation multiples of the financial instrument.

      The Group is able to perform sensitivity analysis for £0.8 billion of the Group's Level 3 liabilities. For these Level 3 liabilities, changing unobservable valuation inputs to a reasonable alternative would result in a change in fair value by ± £40 million. Of the £0.2 billion Level 3 liabilities for which sensitivity analysis is not provided it is estimated that a 10% change in valuation downwards of these liabilities would result in a change in fair value of £20 million.

B18 - Risk management

As a global insurance group, risk management is at the heart of what we do and is the source of value creation as well as a vital form of control. It is an integral part of managing and maintaining financial strength and stability for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.

      Our sustainability and financial strength are underpinned by an effective risk management process which helps us identify major risks to which we may be exposed, establish appropriate controls and take mitigating actions for the benefit of our customers and investors. The Group's risk strategy is to invest its available capital to optimise the balance between return and risk while maintaining an appropriate level of economic (i.e. risk-based) capital and regulatory capital. Consequently, our risk management goals are to:

n Embed rigorous risk management throughout the business, based on setting clear risk appetites and staying within these;

n Allocate capital where it will make the highest returns on a risk-adjusted basis; and

n Meet the expectations of our customers, investors and regulators that we will maintain sufficient capital surpluses to meet our liabilities even if a number of extreme risks materialise.

 

Aviva's risk management framework has been designed and implemented to support these objectives. The key elements of our risk management framework comprise our risk appetite; risk governance, including risk policies and business standards, risk oversight committees and roles & responsibilities; and the processes we use to identify, measure, manage, monitor and report (IMMMR) risks, including the use of our risk models and stress and scenario testing.

Risk environment

The first six months of 2014 have seen continued strengthening of the financial markets with monetary policies and emerging economic growth in the US, Europe and Japan helping to bolster this position. Global equities have remained stable at or close to all-time highs and corporate credit spreads have continued their decline to levels not seen since before the 2008 financial crisis. Eurozone sovereign bonds have also benefitted from the increased liquidity in the system provided by the ECB, with yields registering the lowest levels seen to date, while UK gilt and US treasury long term yields have begun to pick-up with the prospect of interest rate rises in the near to medium term future. Currencies have been relatively stable during the first half of 2014 with pound sterling continuing to strengthen against the US dollar and Euro.

      The Omnibus II Directive (the amendments to the Solvency II Directive) has reached the final stage of formal adoption by member states and transposition into national law. However, while consultation over implementing technical standards and supervisory guidelines continues, there remains some uncertainty over the detailed requirements, in particular their interpretation, and impact of the new European prudential regime, which will be effective from 1 January 2016. Aviva continues to actively participate in the development of Solvency II through key European industry working groups.

      The Group is designated as being a Global Systemically Important Insurer (G-SII), bringing it within the scope of the G-SII policy requirements of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS). Requirements include developing a Systemic Risk Management Plan, recovery and resolution plans and a liquidity risk management plan. New basic capital requirements (BCR) are currently in field-testing and will be privately reported to supervisors from 2015. The BCR will form the basis for yet to be developed higher loss absorbency capital requirements, which will apply from January 2019, if the Group remains a G-SII.

Risk profile

We continue to manage our risk profile to reflect Aviva's objective of maintaining financial strength and reducing capital volatility. During the first half of 2014 we announced disposals of our US asset management boutique River Road, South Korean joint venture and Turkish general insurance business as well as a significant restructure of our Italian business. As described below, a number of foreign exchange rate, credit and equity hedges are in place and restrictions on non-domestic investment in sovereign and corporate debt from Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain remain in place.   

      Going forward, the Group's focus will continue to be on building the balance sheet and cash-flow position, and decreasing the balance sheet volatility and internal and external leverage. 

      Our risk management processes enable us to monitor all our capital measures and to identify and manage mismatches between our assets and liabilities. These processes include the use of derivative hedges which are described in more detail below.

Material risks and uncertainties

In accordance with the requirements of the FCA Handbook (DTR 4.2.7) we provide an update here on the material risks and uncertainties facing the Group. The types of risks to which the Group is exposed have not changed significantly over the half-year to 30 June 2014 and remain credit, market, life insurance, general insurance, liquidity, asset management, operational and reputational risks. These risks are described below. Further detail on these risks is given within note 58 of the Aviva plc Annual Report and Accounts 2013.

(a)  Credit risk

Aviva has a strong record of managing credit risk and we see credit as an area where we can make a good return for the benefit of both our policyholders and shareholders. During the first half of 2014 we continued to limit our sovereign and corporate debt exposure to Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which has benefitted from an increase in market values. The completion of the disposal of the Group's interest in Eurovita has resulted in a significant reduction to Italian sovereign and corporate debt. In light of the improving economic situation in Ireland, we have made a modest increase in our exposure to Irish sovereign debt during the first six months of 2014.  We have in place a comprehensive group-wide reporting system that consolidates credit exposures across geographies, business lines and exposure types. We have a robust framework of limits and controls to diversify the portfolio and enable the early identification of potential issues. Refer to section D.3.3.5 of this report for details of our sovereign exposures to Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy.

      During the first half of 2014 the credit rating profile of our debt securities portfolio has remained strong, and the average rating has risen slightly in line with the general market's rating agency upgrades. At 30 June 2014, the proportion of our shareholder debt securities that are investment grade has increased slightly to 90.7% (31 December 2013: 90.2%).

 

 

 

 

Page77

 

 

B18 - Risk management continued

The Group has in place a series of macro credit hedges to reduce the overall credit risk exposure.  The notional size of these long-term hedges remained at approximately £4 billion during the first half of 2014.

(b)  Market risk

We continue to limit our direct equity exposure. A rolling central equity hedging strategy remains in place to help control the Group's overall direct and indirect exposure to equities. At 30 June 2014 the Group's shareholder funds held £1.5 billion notional of equity hedge put spreads, with nine months to maturity and an average strike of 78%-65% of the prevailing market levels on 30 June 2014.

      We have a limited appetite for interest rate risk as we do not believe it is adequately rewarded. Our conservative and disciplined approach to asset and liability management and pricing limit our exposure to interest rate and guarantee risk. Asset and liability durations across the Group are generally well matched and actions have been taken to manage guarantee risk in the current low interest rate environment. In particular, a key objective is to match the duration of our annuity liabilities with assets of the same duration. These assets include corporate bonds, residential mortgages and commercial mortgages. Should they default before maturity, it is assumed that the Group can reinvest in assets of a similar risk and return profile, which is subject to market conditions. Interest rate hedges are used to manage asymmetric interest rate exposures in some of our life insurance businesses as well as an efficient way to manage cash flow and duration matching (the most material examples relate to guaranteed annuity exposures in both UK and Ireland). These hedges are used to protect against interest rate falls and are sufficient in scale to materially reduce the Group's interest rate exposure.

      At a Group level we actively seek to manage currency risk primarily by matching assets and liabilities in functional currencies at the business unit level. Foreign currency dividends from subsidiaries are hedged using foreign exchange forwards to provide certainty regarding the sterling value to be received by the Group. Hedges have also been used to protect the Group's capital against a significant depreciation in local currency versus sterling. At 30 June 2014 the Group had in place Euro hedges with notional values of £3.5 billion.

(c)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to make payments as they become due because there are insufficient assets in cash form or that can easily be turned into cash.

      The relatively illiquid nature of insurance liabilities is a potential source of additional investment return by allowing us to invest in higher yielding, but less liquid assets such as commercial mortgages. The Group seeks to ensure that it maintains sufficient liquid financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due through the application of a Group liquidity risk policy and business standard. At Group and business unit level, there is a liquidity risk appetite which requires that sufficient liquid resources be maintained to cover net outflows in a stress scenario. The Company's main sources of liquidity are liquid assets held within the Company and Aviva Group Holdings Limited (AGH), and dividends received from the Group's insurance and asset management businesses. Sources of liquidity in normal markets also include a variety of short and long-term instruments including commercial papers and medium and long-term debt. In addition to the existing liquid resources and expected inflows, the Group and Company maintain significant undrawn committed borrowing facilities (30 June 2014: £1.4 billion) from a range of leading international banks to further mitigate this risk.

(d)  Life insurance risk

The profile of most of our life insurance risks, primarily persistency, mortality and expense risk, has remained stable in the first half of 2014. Our economic exposure to longevity risk has decreased as a result of the Aviva Staff Pension Scheme entering into a longevity swap covering £5 billion of pensioner in payment scheme liabilities on 5 March 2014, while any significant reduction in individual annuity new business volumes as a result of the UK budget changes to compulsory annuitisation will also reduce our longevity risks exposure over the longer term to the extent not offset by increased bulk purchase annuity volumes. Despite this longevity risk remains the Group's most significant life insurance risk due to the Group's existing annuity portfolio. Persistency risk remains significant and continues to have a volatile outlook, with underlying performance linked to economic conditions. Businesses across the Group mitigate this risk through a range of customer retention activities. The Group has continued to write substantial volumes of life protection business, and to utilise reinsurance to reduce exposure to potential mortality losses. All life insurance risks benefit from significant diversification against other risks in the portfolio, limiting the impact on the Group's aggregate risk profile.

      Provisions made for insurance liabilities are inherently uncertain. Due to this uncertainty, life insurance reserves are regularly reviewed by qualified and experienced actuaries at the business unit and Group level in accordance with the Group's reserving framework. This and other risks are subject to an overarching risk management framework and various mechanisms to govern and control our risks and exposures.

B18 - Risk management continued

General insurance risk

The Group writes a balanced portfolio of general insurance risk (including personal motor; household; commercial motor; property and liability) across a geographically diversified spread of markets including UK; Ireland; Canada; France; Italy; Turkey and Poland. This risk is taken on, in line with our underwriting and pricing expertise, to provide an appropriate level of return for an acceptable level of risk. Underwriting discipline and a robust governance process is at the core of the Group's underwriting strategy.

      Provisions made for insurance liabilities are inherently uncertain. Due to this uncertainty, general insurance reserves are regularly reviewed by qualified and experienced actuaries at the business unit and Group level in accordance with the Group's reserving framework. These and other key risks, including the occurrence of unexpected claims from a single source or cause and inadequate reinsurance protection/risk transfer, are subject to an overarching risk management framework and various mechanisms to govern and control our risks and exposures.

      During the first half of 2014, Aviva's general insurance risk profile has remained stable. As with life insurance risks, general insurance risks also benefit from the significant diversification that arises from being part of a large and diverse portfolio, limiting the impact on the Group's aggregate risk profile.

      Aviva successfully completed the renewal of its group-wide catastrophe protection on 1 April 2014.  Aviva has chosen to reduce the level of risk it retains through the purchase of additional reinsurance protection including a new groupwide aggregate protection. Processes are in place to manage catastrophe risk in individual business units and at a group level.

(e)  Asset management risk

Asset management risk arises through exposure to negative investment performance, fund liquidity, and factors that influence franchise value such as product development appropriateness and capability, and client retention. 

      Aviva is directly exposed to the risks associated with operating an asset management business through its ownership of Aviva Investors.  The underlying risk profile of our asset management risk is derived from investment performance, specialist investment professionals and leadership, product development capabilities, fund liquidity, margin, client retention, regulatory developments, fiduciary and contractual responsibilities. These key risks are monitored on an on-going basis with issues escalated to the appropriate governance committee.

(f)  Operational risk

The Group continues to operate, validate and enhance its key operational controls and purchase insurance to minimise losses arising from inadequate or ineffective internal processes, people and systems or from external events. The Group maintains constructive relationships with its regulators around the world and developments in relation to key regulatory changes such as Solvency II are monitored closely. We continue to work with regulatory bodies to help deliver an appropriate outcome to Solvency II and prepare for the necessary business changes. Similarly, we are monitoring the development of IFRS 4 Phase 2 and will prepare for the necessary business changes.              

(g)  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, agents, regulators, rating agencies, investors and analysts. While we 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 have changed. We monitor this risk and have controls in place to limit our exposure.

Independent review report to Aviva plc

 

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, defined below, in the half year report of Aviva plc for the six months ended 30 June 2014. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

      This conclusion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder of this report.

What we have reviewed

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which are prepared by Aviva plc, comprise:

n the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014;

n the condensed consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;

n the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended;

n the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and

n the explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

As disclosed in note B1, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in the half year report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

What a review of condensed consolidated financial statements involves

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.

      We have read the other information contained in the half year report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Responsibilities for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The half year report, including the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half year report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

      Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the half year report based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, 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.
