For UK life and pensions business, operating profit in a full year represents: â€¢ the distribution of profit relating to non profit and shareholder net worth, grossed up for tax. The current distribution comprises; - 7% of the embedded value of the shareholder retained capital (SRC) and Sub-fund (shareholder net worth - SNW) adjusted to remove the effect of the contingent loan (between SRC and LGPL) and the SNW of LGPL; and - 5% of the embedded value of the non profit business adjusted to remove the effect of the contingent loan between SRC and LGPL; â€¢ the shareholders' share of the with-profits surplus recognised in the year, grossed up for tax; â€¢ the subordinated debt interest on the intra-group subordinated debt included within the SRC, until it was repaid in December 2006. An analysis of the distribution of profit relating to non profit and SNW is included in Note 5.04(a). Operating profit includes a longer term investment return on shareholders', General insurance and Netherlands' funds held outside a long term fund. It excludes investment variances and the contribution from UK non profit business. The income statement comprises returns to shareholders and excludes policyholders' returns. ======================================================================================================================= International Financial Reporting Standards Page 40 =========================================== Consolidated income statement ----------------------------- Six months ended 30 June 2007 ----------------------------- Full year 30.06.07 30.06.06 31.12.06 Notes Â£m Â£m Â£m ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue Gross written premiums 4.09 2,289 2,053 4,286 Outward reinsurance premiums (255) (247) (518) Net change in provision for unearned premiums (5) (2) 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net premiums earned 2,029 1,804 3,775 Fees from fund management and investment contracts 313 248 535 Investment return 6,588 2,730 16,572 Operational income 28 23 84 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total revenue 8,958 4,805 20,966 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expenses Claims and change in insurance liabilities 1,409 1,717 1,938 Reinsurance recoveries (232) (514) 1,123 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net claims and change in insurance liabilities 1,177 1,203 3,061 Change in provisions for investment contract liabilities 6,325 2,511 13,878 Acquisition costs 346 232 987 Finance costs 80 70 153 Other expenses 431 336 674 Transfers to unallocated divisible surplus 74 60 284 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total expenses 8,433 4,412 19,037 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profit before income tax 525 393 1,929 Income tax attributable to policyholder returns (26) 8 89 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profit from continuing operations before income tax attributable to equity holders 499 401 2,018 -------------------------------- Total income tax expense : (196) : (116) : (298): Income tax attributable to policyholder returns : 26 : (8) : (89): -------------------------------- Income tax attributable to equity holders (170) (124) (387) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profit from ordinary activities after income tax 329 277 1,631 ======================================================================================================================= Attributable to: Minority interests 17 21 67 Equity holders of the Company 312 256 1,564 ======================================================================================================================= Dividend distributions to equity holders of the Company during the period 248 236 349 Dividend distributions to equity holders of the Company proposed after the period end 122 113 248 ======================================================================================================================= p p p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share Based on profit from continuing operations after income tax attributable to equity holders 4.80 3.95 24.12 Diluted earnings per share Based on profit from continuing operations after income tax attributable to equity holders 4.77 3.93 23.95 ======================================================================================================================= ======================================================================================================================= International Financial Reporting Standards Page 41 =========================================== Consolidated balance sheet -------------------------- As at 30 June 2007 ------------------ At 30.06.07 At 30.06.06 At 31.12.06 Notes Â£m Â£m Â£m ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets Investment in associates 16 16 16 Plant and equipment 78 34 43 Investment property 6,992 6,625 6,852 Financial investments 4.11 221,860 182,428 201,430 Reinsurers'share of contract liabilities 1,642 3,194 1,481 Purchased interest in long term businesses 22 29 23 Deferred acquisition costs 1,587 1,542 1,456 Income tax recoverable -

In accordance with the Group's policy for attributing tax to equity holders and policyholders, the IFRS profit before equity holder tax from the net capital released from UK non profit business is determined by grossing up after tax amounts at the standard rate of UK corporation tax (30%). In the period to 30 June 2007, there was no current or deferred tax charge on these profits. No deferred tax is provided at the incremental rate on the undeclared surplus in the Society LTF represented by the SRC on the grounds that, at the balance sheet date, no obligation to make a declaration of surplus actually exists and there is no expectation that such a declaration will occur. The maximum amount of incremental tax which would crystallise on such a declaration of surplus is estimated to be Â£295m (H1 06: Â£475m; FY 06: Â£717m). The reduction is due to new tax legislation in the Finance Act 2007. This would charge the additional taxable profit arising from a release of SRC, over the existing tax base, at the current corporation tax rate (30%), but would permit the excess to be carried forward for relief in future years at the policyholders' rate (20%). ======================================================================================================================= International Financial Reporting Standards Page 47 =========================================== Notes to the Financial Statements --------------------------------- 4.08 Earnings per share ------------------------- (a) Earnings per share Profit Tax Profit Earnings Profit Tax Profit Earnings before tax charge after tax per share before tax (charge)/ after tax per share credit 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.06 30.06.06 30.06.06 30.06.06 Â£m Â£m Â£m p Â£m Â£m Â£m p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit from continuing operations 342 (91) 251 3.87 334 (95) 239 3.69 Variation from longer term investment return 21 (9) 12 0.18 7 4 11 0.17 Contribution from UK non profit business 119 (70) 49 0.75 39 (33) 6 0.09 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share based on profit attributable to equity holders 482 (170) 312 4.80 380 (124) 256 3.95 ======================================================================================================================= Profit Tax Profit Earnings before tax charge after tax per share Full year Full year Full year Full year 31.12.06 31.12.06 31.12.06 31.12.06 Â£m Â£m Â£m p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit from continuing operations 752 (212) 540 8.33 Variation from longer term investment return 63 (11) 52 0.80 Contribution from UK non profit business 1,136 (164) 972 14.99 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings per share based on profit attributable to equity holders 1,951 (387) 1,564 24.12 ======================================================================================================================= (b) Diluted earnings per share (i) Based on operating profit from continuing operations after tax Profit Number Earnings Profit Number Earnings after tax of shares(1) per share after tax of shares(1) per share 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.07 30.06.06 30.06.06 30.06.06 Â£m m p Â£m m p ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit from continuing operations after tax 251 6,493 3.87 239 6,478 3.69 Net shares under options allocable for no further consideration -

At 30 June 2007, the combined after tax deficit arising from these arrangements (net of annuity obligations insured by Society) has been estimated at Â£75m (H1 06: Â£79m; FY 06: Â£122m). These amounts have been recognised in the financial statements with Â£45m charged against shareholder equity (H1 06: Â£49m; FY 06: Â£72m) and Â£30m against unallocated divisible surplus (H1 06: Â£30m; FY 06: Â£50m). 4.19 Contingent liabilities, guarantees and indemnities --------------------------------------------------------- Provision for the liabilities arising under contracts with policyholders is based on certain assumptions. The variance of actual experience from that assumed may result in such liabilities differing from the provisions made for them. Liabilities may also arise in respect of claims relating to the interpretation of such contracts, or the circumstances in which policyholders have entered into them (together in this paragraph 'liabilities'). The extent of such liabilities is influenced by a number of factors including the actions and requirements of the FSA, by ombudsman rulings, by industry compensation schemes and by court judgements. The continuing general profile and emphasis being given by the FSA and other bodies to the suitability of the past sales of endowment policies in the context of some mortgage transactions has led to the continuing receipt of claims from holders of endowment policies. Various Group companies receive claims and become involved in actual or threatened litigation and regulatory issues from time to time. Provision for liabilities continues to be made and is regularly reviewed. However, it is not possible to predict, with certainty, the extent and the timing of the financial impact to which these claims, litigation or issues may give rise. The relevant members of the Group nevertheless consider that each makes prudent provision, as and when circumstances calling for such provision become clear, and that each has adequate capital and reserves to meet all reasonably foreseeable eventualities. In 1975 the Society was required by the Institute of London Underwriters (ILU) to execute the ILU form of guarantee in respect of policies issued through the ILU's Policy Signing Office on behalf of NRG Victory Reinsurance Company Ltd (Victory), a company which was then a subsidiary of the Society. In 1990, Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep Holding NV (the assets and liabilities of which have since been assumed by Nederlandse Reassurantie Groep NV under a statutory merger in the Netherlands) acquired Victory and provided an indemnity to the Society against any liability the Society may have as a result of the ILU's requirement, and the ILU agreed that its requirement of the Society would not apply to policies written or renewed after the acquisition. Whether the Society has any liability as a result of the ILU's requirement and, if so, the amount of its potential liability is uncertain. The Society has made no payment or provision in respect of this matter. Group companies have given indemnities and guarantees, including interest rate guarantees, as a normal part of their operating activities or in relation to capital market transactions. 4.20 Foreign exchange rates ----------------------------- Period end exchange rates At 30.06.07 At 30.06.06 At 31.12.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- United States Dollar 2.01 1.85 1.96 Euro 1.49 1.45 1.48 ======================================================================================================================= 01.01.07- 01.01.06- 01.01.06- Average exchange rates 30.06.07 30.06.06 31.12.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- United States Dollar 1.97 1.79 1.84 Euro 1.48 1.46 1.47 ======================================================================================================================= 4.21 Corporate restructure ---------------------------- On 31 December 2006, the non-linked non profit pensions and annuity business of Society was ceded to a new, wholly owned, reinsurance company, LGPL.
