 1. The Other LGR experience variance reflects the benefit to    
 profit of selective longevity and asset reinsurance related to  
 bulk annuity transactions, offset by other smaller experience   
 variances.                                                      
 2. The Insurance persistency valuation assumption change        
 reflects continued improvement in retail protection lapse rates. 
 3. The mortality/morbidity valuation assumption change in LGR   
 primarily reflects late retirement factor assumption changes and 
 a change in mortality reserving assumptions in relation to      
 unreported deaths of deferred annuitants. The Insurance         
 mortality/morbidity valuation assumption change has arisen on   
 the strengthening of the reserving basis on the Whole Life      
 Protection product to reflect the current expectation of future 
 mortality improvement on this business.                         
 4. The LGR and Insurance positive expense valuation assumption  
 changes represents the continued operational efficiency reducing 
 the existing business cost base.                                
 5. The reinsurance modelling for our UK protection business has 
 been enhanced. Recent reinsurance contracts have been written on 
 a risk premium basis (as opposed to level premium) and the model 
 change ensures that for these treaties, sufficient prudence is  
 being held in later years. The one-off impact reduced operating 
 profit by £93m in 2015. This also defers a higher proportion of 
 cash generation into later years of these reinsurance contracts. 
 6. Net cash for Insurance and Savings recognises tax relief from 
 prior year acquisition expenses, which are spread evenly over   
 seven years under relevant 'I-E' tax legislation in the period  
 the cash flows actually occur. In contrast, operating profit    
 typically 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 cash. The residual prior 
 year acquisition expenses will run off predictably to 2018.     
 7. 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.

 1. H1 16 investment variance is positive, primarily     
 driven by foreign exchange gains on US dollar assets, a 
 lack of defaults on the group's bond portfolios and     
 selective de-risking of investment portfolios, partially 
 offset by the negative impact of rate changes during the 
 period. The defined pension benefit scheme variance of  
 £31m contained within this line (H1 15: £(26)m; FY 15:  
 £(15)m) reflects the actuarial losses and gains and     
 valuation differences arising on annuity assets held by 
 defined benefit pension schemes that have been purchased 
 from Legal & General Assurance Society Limited          
 (Society). 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 16 includes the £4m net gain resulting    
 from the disposal of subsidiaries during the period (H1 
 15: includes the £40m impairment loss resulting from the 
 classification of disposal groups as held for sale; FY  
 15: includes the £25m net loss resulting from the       
 disposal of subsidiary and joint venture investments    
 during the year).                                       
 3. Other includes new business start-up costs and other 
 non-investment related variance items.
