Introduction • Challenging market during first six months of the year • Strong operating performance in all financial measures • Of particular note is the continuing growth in the cash emergence of the business • Resulting in a 33% increase in the interim dividend • Capital and solvency position remains strong
Non – manufactured business • Manufactured proportion 85% compared with 93% in 2011 • In 2nd quarter one large £21 million APE group pension case • Excluding this case manufactured proportion would be 90% • This is a one-off nice to have but distorts the total margin • This is most definitely not a trend or anything to be concerned about

Unbroken dividend growth +33% +33% +2.5% +2% +18% +33% +16% Interim * Plus special dividend of 6.35 pence
Expenses • Establishment expense growth for the half year was 4.2% • We will maintain pressure on these costs but will continue to invest in the business where appropriate (eg Partner recruitment) • Development costs were £4.0 million in the first six months and we anticipate a similar spend in the second half of the year • Our full year contribution to the FSCS levy to be some £6-7 million (double last year)
Capital position • Total group solvency assets at 30 June 2012 were £368.2 million • Solvency remains strong • Holding a £35.0 million dividend reserve • Investment policy for solvency assets continues to be prudent • Solvency II
