 1. The expected return on in-force for LGAS and LGR is    
 based on the unwind of the risk discount rate on the      
 opening, adjusted base value of in-force (VIF). The       
 opening base VIF of the UK LGAS and LGR business was      
 £4,693m in 2014 (£4,402m in 2013). This is adjusted for   
 the effects of opening model changes of £4m (H1 13:       
 £50m; FY 13: £27m) to give an adjusted opening base VIF   
 of £4,697m (H1 13: £4,452m; FY 13: £4,429m). This is      
 then multiplied by the opening risk discount rate of      
 6.8% (H1 13: 6.0%; FY 13: 6.0%) and the result grossed    
 up at the notional attributed tax rate of 20% (H1 13:     
 20%; FY 13: 20%) to give a return of £196m (H1 13:        
 £165m; FY 13: £331m). The same approach has been applied   
 for the LGAS overseas businesses                          
 2. LGAS and LGR variance primarily reflects UK cost of    
 capital unwind, bulk purchase annuity data loading and    
 fewer retail protection lapses. LGA experience variance   
 primarily relates to adverse mortality experience within   
 term assurance and universal life products.               
 3. LGAS and LGR assumption changes primarily reflect      
 mortality reserves strengthening partly offset by a       
 reduction in prudence margin in the regulatory morbidity   
 reserves within retail protection.                        
 4. LGAS and LGR non-covered business primarily reflects   
 GI operating profit of £28m (H1 13: £39m; FY 13: £69m).   
 5. LGIM operating profit includes Retail Investments and   
 excludes £19m (H1 13: £15m; FY 13: £34m) of profits       
 arising from the provision of investment management       
 services at market referenced rates to the covered        
 business on a look through basis and as a consequence     
 are included in the LGAS and LGR covered business on an   
 EEV basis.                                                
 6. LGC and group expenses non-covered business primarily   
 reflects Group debt costs and investment projects and     
 expenses, partly offset by investment returns from non    
 -covered shareholder assets.                              
 7. The LGAS and LGR positive variance has resulted from   
 a number of factors including lower risk discount rate    
 and enhanced yield on annuity assets offset by a lower    
 risk free rate and a narrowing credit spread. LGC and     
 group expenses primarily reflects lower equity return     
 from shareholder funds.                                   
 8. Other taxation impacts reflects the change in the      
 treatment of deferred tax on in-force business to align   
 with IFRS by removing the effect of discounting.

 1. The expected return on in-force is based on the        
 unwind of the risk discount rate on the opening,          
 adjusted base value of in-force (VIF). The opening base   
 VIF of the UK LGAS and LGR business was £4,402m. This is   
 adjusted for the effects of opening model changes of      
 £50m to give an adjusted opening base VIF of £4,452m.     
 This is then multiplied by the opening risk discount      
 rate of 6.0% and the result grossed up at the notional    
 attributed tax rate of 20% to give a return of £165m.     
 The same approach has been applied for the LGAS overseas   
 business.                                                 
 2. LGAS and LGR reflects UK cost of capital unwind and    
 bulk purchase annuity data loading and model changes.     
 LGA reflects a higher than anticipated lapses in the      
 period.                                                   
 3. LGAS and LGR primarily reflects mortality assumption   
 changes in retail protection.                             
 4. LGAS and LGR non-covered business primarily reflects   
 GI operating profit of £39m.                              
 5. LGIM operating profit excludes £15m of profits         
 arising from the provision of investment management       
 services at market referenced rates to the covered        
 business. These are reported on a look through basis and   
 as a consequence are included in the LGAS and LGR         
 covered business on an EEV basis.                         
 6. LGC and group expenses non-covered business primarily   
 reflects Group debt costs and investment projects and     
 expenses, partly offset by investment returns from non    
 -covered shareholder assets.                              
 7. LGAS and LGR positive variance primarily reflects      
 equity market outperformance, actions to improve the      
 yield on annuities assets and a lower risk margin.        
 8. Primarily reflects the implementation of the UK        
 planned future reductions in the corporation tax rate to   
 20% on 1 April 2015.
