2.08 Basis of preparation 
 
The group's financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2016 has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure
Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. The group's financial information has also been prepared in line with the accounting policies and methods of
computation which the group expects to adopt for the 2016 year end. These policies are consistent with the principal
accounting policies which were set out in the group's 2015 consolidated financial statements which were consistent with
IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Commission for use in the European
Union. Following an amendment to IAS 1 more detail is provided around the methodology of the split of policyholder and
shareholder tax. 
 
For presentation, the tax shown in the Consolidated Income Statement has been apportioned between that attributable to
policyholders' returns and equity holders' profits.  This represents the fact that the group's long-term business in the UK
incurs tax on policyholder investment return, in addition to the corporation tax charge charged on shareholder profit. Both
types of tax are accounted for in the total tax charge in the group's Consolidated Income Statement, and the separate
presentation is intended to provide more relevant information about the tax that the group pays on the profits that it
makes. 
 
For this apportionment, the equity holders' tax on long-term business is estimated using equity holders' profit after tax,
which is grossed up at the statutory tax rate. The balance of income tax associated with UK long term business is
classified as income tax attributable to policyholders' returns. 
 
The preparation of the interim management report includes the use of estimates and assumptions which affect items reported
in the consolidated balance sheet and income statement and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. The economic and non-economic actuarial assumptions used to establish the liabilities in
relation to insurance and investment contracts are significant. For half-year financial reporting, economic assumptions
have been updated to reflect market conditions. Non-economic assumptions are consistent with those used in the 31 December
2015 financial statements except for the changes outlined in Note 2.02. 
 
The results for the six months ended 30 June 2016 are unaudited but have been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The
interim results do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results from
the full year 2015 have been taken from the group's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. Therefore, these interim accounts
should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report and Accounts that have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the
European Commission for use in the European Union. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported on the 2015 financial statements and
their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The
group's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts has been filed with the Registrar of Companies. 
 
Key technical terms and definitions 
 
The interim management report refers to various key performance indicators, accounting standards and other technical terms.
A comprehensive list of these definitions is contained within the glossary section of these interim financial statements. 
 
Alternative performance measures 
 
The group uses a number of alternative performance measures (APMs), including operational cash generation, net cash
generation and operating profit, in the discussion of its business performance and financial position as the group believes
that they provide a better indication of performance. Definitions of key APMs can be found in the glossary. 
 
2.09 Segmental analysis 
 
Reportable segments 
 
The group has six reportable segments comprising LGR, LGIM, LGC, Insurance, Savings and LGA. Central group expenses and
debt costs are reported separately. 
 
LGR represents worldwide pension risk transfer business (including longevity insurance), individual retirement and lifetime
mortgages. 
 
The LGIM segment represents institutional and retail investment management and workplace savings businesses. 
 
LGC represents the IFRS profit before tax on its trading businesses and investment return (less expenses) on its other
group invested assets. LGC and group expenses also incorporate inter-segmental eliminations, consolidated unit trusts and
property partnerships managed on behalf of clients, which do not constitute a separately reportable segment. 
 
Insurance represents business in retail protection, group protection, general insurance, networks and Legal & General
Netherlands (LGN). Insurance comparatives include Legal & General France (LGF), which was sold during 2015. 
 
Savings represents business in platforms, SIPPs, mature savings and with-profits. 
 
The LGA segment represents protection business written in the USA. 
 
During 2016, changes have been made to the organisational structure. The advised sales and India businesses have
transferred to Insurance from Savings, and the IDOL business has been transferred to LGR from Insurance. Comparatives have
been amended accordingly. The impact of this reclassification has been to increase LGR H1 15 operating profit by £1m (FY
15: increase by £2m), increase Savings H1 15 operating profit by £5m (FY 15: increase by £8m) and reduce Insurance H1 15
operating profit by £6m (FY 15: reduce by £10m). 
 
Transactions between reportable segments are on normal commercial terms, and are included within the reported segments.

 1. During 2016, changes have been made to the           
 organisational structure. The advised sales and India   
 businesses have been transferred to Insurance from      
 Savings, and the IDOL business has been transferred to  
 LGR from Insurance. Comparatives have been amended      
 accordingly. The impact of the reclassification has been 
 to increase LGR H1 15 operating profit by £1m and profit 
 before tax by £1m (FY 15: increase by £2m and £1m       
 respectively), increase Savings H1 operating profit by  
 £5m and profit before tax by £5m (FY 15: increase by £8m 
 and £8m respectively), and reduce Insurance H1 15       
 operating profit by £6m and profit before tax by £6m (FY 
 15: reduce by £10m and £9m respectively).               
 2. H1 16 Investment and other variances - Insurance and 
 Savings include 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).

 1. During 2016, changes have been made to the organisational    
 structure. The advised sales and India businesses have          
 transferred to Insurance from Savings, and the IDOL business has 
 been transferred to LGR from Insurance. Comparatives have been  
 amended accordingly. The impact of this reclassification has    
 been to increase LGR H1 15 external income by £10m (FY 15:      
 increase by £26m), reduce Savings H1 15 external income by £3m  
 (FY 15: reduce by £5m) and reduce Insurance H1 15 external      
 income by £7m (FY 15: reduce by £21m).                          
 2. LGC and other includes LGC, inter-segmental eliminations and 
 group consolidation adjustments.                                
 3. LGC and other internal revenue includes inter-segmental      
 eliminations previously classified as LGA (H1 15: £195m; FY 15: 
 £441m). In addition, external revenue has been reclassified to  
 exclude an internal transaction between LGC and other and LGA.  
                                                                                                                               
 Total revenue includes investment return of £36,978m (H1 15:    
 £5,062m; FY 15: £5,947m).
