A conservative estimate is made of both positive and negative variances. UK other experience variances of £81m principally comprise the impact of introducing market referenced fees for the investment management services provided to Society and LGPL by Legal & General Investment Management (£88m) which are recognised on a look through basis. Investment management other experience variances of £9m includes the effect of higher than assumed 'other income' and average fees.

These opening adjustments had a broadly neutral effect on the embedded value with the positive variance here being offset by a negative variance in the contribution from shareholder net worth.

These opening adjustments had a broadly neutral effect on the embedded value, with the positive variance here being offset by a negative variance in the contribution from shareholder net worth. This is partially offset by differences between actual and modelled tax and an increase in deferred tax provisions (-£21m). 2006 International other experience variances relates primarily to the impact of Triple X financing. 2006 Investment management other experience variances of £22m includes the effect of higher average fee rates than assumed (£17m). ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 25 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.04 Analysis of operating assumption changes --------------------------------------------- UK Interna- Life and Investment Total tional pensions manage- total ment For the six months ended 30 June 2007 £m £m £m £m £m ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Persistency - - - - - Mortality / morbidity - - - - - Expenses (6) - (6) (9) (15) Other (4) - (4) 12 8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (10) - (10) 3 (7) ======================================================================================================================= Full experience investigations are not undertaken at the half year.

The latter relates to the move to new City premises in 2007 and the development of our structured solutions and US based fixed income teams. 2006 UK other operating assumption changes of £102m primarily relate to the impact of PS 06/14 on realistic protection reserving after the recapture of financial reinsurance (£64m) and changes to annuity investment policy (£19m), together with a reassessment of future reserve releases as data is loaded onto the BPA administration system (£23m). 2006 Investment management other operating assumption changes of £27m arise from the continuation of the ten year lapse assumption for all contracts through the extension of the modelling period (£15m) coupled with higher fee and income assumptions (£12m). ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 26 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.05 Variation from longer term investment return ------------------------------------------------- Full year 30.06.07 30.06.06 31.12.06 £m £m £m ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total covered business 179 86 379 Investment management(1) (1) - (1) General insurance (9) (1) (7) Other operational income(2) 28 28 89 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 197 113 460 ======================================================================================================================= 1.

The reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 30% to 28% with effect from 1 April 2008 increased the post-tax profits from the UK life and pensions and managed pension funds businesses reported on an EEV basis over the projection period. The effect was to increase the UK embedded value by £101m. This was offset by a reduction of £8m from the requirement to tax the loan interest payable by LGPL to the SRC at the full UK corporation tax rate. For the purposes of grossing up the movement in the UK embedded value to report pre-tax profits, the notional attributed tax rate was 28% (H1 06: 30%, FY 06: 30%). ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 28 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.11 Earnings per share ----------------------- (a) Earnings per share Profit/ Profit/ Per share Profit/ Profit/ Per share (loss) Tax (loss) (loss) Tax (loss) before (charge)/ after before (charge)/ after tax credit tax tax credit tax 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.06 30.06.06 30.06.06 30.06.06 £m £m £m p £m £m £m p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit from continuing operations 589 (159) 430 6.62 560 (159) 401 6.19 Variation from longer term investment return 197 (61) 136 2.09 113 (45) 68 1.05 Effect of economic assumption changes (6) 2 (4) (0.06) (18) 6 (12) (0.19) Effect of UK Budget tax changes -

Full details of the restructuring are included in the 2006 Annual Report and Accounts. ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 36 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.17 Assumptions ---------------- UK assumptions -------------- The assumed future pre-tax returns on fixed interest and RPI linked securities are set by reference to redemption yields available in the market at the end of the reporting period. For annuities, a separate return is calculated for business sold before or after December 2006. This reflects a change in investment policy applicable to the 2007 business which has the aim of increasing the expected return whilst not increasing the level of asset risk compared with the historic policy. This has been achieved through improved investment efficiency and increased diversification through use of additional asset classes. The calculated return takes account of derivatives and other credit instruments in the investment portfolio. Where interest rate swaps are used to reduce risk, it is assumed that these swaps will be sold before expiry and the proceeds reinvested in corporate bonds with a redemption yield 0.40% p.a. greater than the swap rate at that time. The returns on fixed and index-linked securities are calculated net of an allowance for default risk which takes account of the outstanding term of the securities. The allowances for default risk are set separately for the asset portfolios supporting fixed and index-linked securities, and average 0.12% p.a. and 0.07% p.a. respectively across the portfolios as a whole (0.15% p.a. and 0.10% p.a. at 31.12.2006).

(2006: 0.2%), other than for certain government-supported securities where no such allowance is made. UK life and pensions -------------------- i. The value of the Sub-fund is the discounted value of total projected investment returns over its lifetime. ii. Assets are valued at market value. iii. Future bonus rates have been set at levels which would fully utilise the assets supporting the policyholders' portion of the with-profits business. The proportion of profits derived from with-profits business allocated to shareholders has been assumed to be 10% throughout. iv. The value of in-force business reflects the cost, including administration expenses, of providing for benefit enhancement or compensation in relation to certain products. ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 37 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.17 Assumptions (continued) ---------------------------- v. Other actuarial assumptions have been set at levels commensurate with recent operating experience, including those for mortality, morbidity, persistency and maintenance expenses (excluding the development costs referred to below). These are reviewed annually. An allowance is made for future improvements in annuitant mortality based on experience and externally published data. Male annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with CMI Working Paper 1, projection MC for future experience with a minimum annual improvement of 0.6%, and the average of projections MC and LC for statutory reserving with a minimum annual improvement of 0.8%. Female annuitant mortality is assumed to improve in accordance with the MC projection from CMI Working Paper 1 for statutory reserving and at 70% of this rate for future experience, with the same underpinning minima as for males. vi. £400m of subordinated debt attributed to Legal & General Pensions Limited (LGPL) in 2006 has been included at face value. The estimated market value was £374m at 30 June 2007. vii. Development costs relate to enhanced financial reporting and strategic systems. UK managed pension funds ------------------------ viii. All contracts are assumed to lapse over a 10 year period. Fees are projected on a basis which reflects current charges or, if less, anticipated charges. New business consists of monies received from new clients and incremental receipts from existing clients, and excludes the roll-up of the investment returns. Development costs relate to strategic systems. International ------------- ix. Key assumptions: 30.06.07 30.06.06 31.12.06 31.12.05 % p.a. % p.a. % p.a. % p.a.

EEV results are computed on an after tax basis and are grossed up by notional attributed tax for presentation in the income statement.

The time value of options and guarantees is calculated using economic and non-economic assumptions consistent with those used for the deterministic embedded value calculations. This section describes the models used to generate future investment simulations, and gives some sample statistics for the simulations used. A single model has been used for UK and international business, with different economic assumptions for each territory. Government nominal interest rates are generated using a LIBOR Money Market Model projecting full yield curves at annual intervals. The model provides a good fit to the initial yield curve. The total annual returns on equities and property are calculated as the return on 1 year bonds plus an excess return. The excess return is assumed to have a lognormal distribution. Corporate bonds are modelled separately by credit rating using stochastic credit spreads over the risk-free rates, transition matrices and default recovery rates. The real yield curve model assumes that the real short rate follows a mean-reverting process subject to two normally distributed random shocks. Asset classes The significant asset classes are for: - UK with-profits business - equities, property and fixed rate bonds of various durations; - UK annuity business - fixed rate and index-linked bonds of various durations; and - International business - fixed rate bonds of various durations. ======================================================================================================================= European Embedded Value Page 38 ======================= Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 3.17 Assumptions (continued) ---------------------------- Summary statistics The following table sets out means and standard deviations (StDev) of future returns as at 30 June 2007 for the most significant asset classes. Correlations between asset classes have been set based on an internal assessment of historical data. 10-year return 20-year return Mean(1) StDev(2) Mean(1) StDev(2) UK Business (Sterling) Government bonds 5.6% 3.1% 5.3% 3.3% Corporate bonds 6.1% 3.3% 5.9% 3.5% Property (excess returns) 2.0% 14.6% 2.0% 15.0% Equities (excess returns) 3.1% 20.2% 3.0% 19.9% European Business (Euro) Long Government bonds(3) 4.8% 5.7% 5.2% 5.8% Short Government bonds(4) 4.8% 4.4% 5.2% 8.5% US Business (US Dollar) Long Government bonds(3) 5.1% 5.8% 5.5% 6.0% 1. Other than for equities and property, means are calculated as the excess of 1 year bond asset return means plus 1 year bond means. Means for the equities and property excess returns are calculated as the excess of 1 year bond asset return means. Each mean is derived by calculating the accumulated value of a unit asset invested to time in years for each simulation, averaging the resultant values across all simulations, then calculating the equivalent annual return required to give this average accumulation (by taking the nth root of the average accumulation and deducting 1). 2. Standard deviations are calculated by accumulating a unit investment for n years in each simulation, taking the natural logarithm of the result, calculating the variance of this statistic, dividing by n and taking the square root. Equities and property values use excess returns. The results are comparable to implied volatilities quoted in investment markets. 3. Long term bonds are defined to be 10-year par-coupon bonds. 4. Short term bonds are defined to be 1 year duration bonds. Risk discount rate The risk discount rate is scenario-dependent within the stochastic projection. It is calculated by applying the deterministic risk margin to the risk free rate in each stochastic projection.
