recognises the value of   
 these future cash flows in the      
 same period as the underlying       
 expense as deferred tax amounts.    
 The reconciling amounts arising     
 from these items are included in    
 the table above. Following the      
 removal of new retail protection    
 business from the 'I-E' tax         
 regime, and the removal of          
 commission from new insured         
 savings business under the Retail   
 Distribution Review at the end of   
 2012, no material amount of         
 deferred tax assets arise on new    
 acquisition expenses and the value   
 of these future cash flows for      
 post-2013 acquisition expenses      
 have been reflected within net      
 release from operations. The        
 residual prior year acquisition     
 expenses will run off predictably   
 to 2018.                            
 6. The DAC in Savings represents    
 the amortisation charges offset by   
 new acquisition costs deferred in   
 the year. The DIL reflects initial   
 fees on insured savings business    
 which relate to the future          
 provision of services and are       
 deferred and amortised over the     
 anticipated period in which these   
 services are provided.              
 7. LGI Other in FY 16 reflects the   
 difference between the dividend     
 (release from operations) remitted   
 from LGN and LGI (US) of £70m and   
 £63m respectively and the LGN, LGI   
 (US) and India operating profit     
 after tax.

 1. H1 17 investment variance is positive, primarily driven by the outperformance of UK equity markets to expectations. The defined benefit pension scheme variance of £111m contained within this line (H1 16: £31m; FY 16: £29m) primarily reflects the impact of the acquisition of annuities as an asset of the scheme from LGR, and the interest rate difference between the IAS 19 and annuity discount rates. A segmental analysis of Investment and other variances can be found in note 2.09    
 (a).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 2. M&A related includes gains and losses, expenses and intangible amortisation relating to acquisitions and disposals. H1 17 includes the £17m net gain resulting from the disposal of Legal & General Netherlands. (H1 16: includes the £4m net gain resulting from the disposal of subsidiaries during the period; FY 16: includes the £60m net loss resulting from the classification of Cofunds as held for sale (£64m loss) and the disposal of Suffolk Life (£4m gain)).
