Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Amounts in EUR millions, unless otherwise stated

1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the third quarter ended, September 30, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’ as adopted by the European Union (EU) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). It does not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should therefore be read together with the 2010 consolidated financial statements of AEGON N.V. as included in AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010. AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010 is available on its website (www.aegon.com).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Executive Board on November 9, 2011.

The published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

2. Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the 2010 consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union.

Taxes on income for the first nine months of 2011 interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2011:

Amendment to IAS 24 - Related party disclosures.

Amendment to IFRS 1 - First time adoption.

Amendment to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement.

Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights Issues.

IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments.

Improvements to IFRS (2010).

None of these new or revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011.

AEGON has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations or amendments, which have been issued but are not yet effective.

Critical accounting estimates

Certain amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.

Assumptions changes

A change in long term economic assumptions related to lower interest rates in the United States had a negative impact on earnings of EUR 169 million reflecting DAC write-off and reserve strenghtening. AEGON has lowered its long term assumption for 10 year US Treasury yields by 50 bps to 4.75% (graded uniformly from current yields over the next five years) and lowered the 90 day rate to 0.2% for the next two years followed by a three year grade to 3%. In addition, AEGON has lowered its assumed return for separate account bond fund returns by 200 bps to 4% over the next five years, followed by a return of 6% thereafter. The bond fund return is a gross assumption from which asset management and policy fees are deducted to determine the policyholder return.

Exchange rates

Non-IFRS measures

This report includes the non-IFRS financial measure: underlying earnings before tax. The reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable IFRS measure is presented in the tables in this note. This non-IFRS measure is calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of our associated companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico. AEGON believes that its non-IFRS measure provides meaningful information about the underlying operating results of our business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.

Among other things our senior management is compensated based in part on AEGON’s results against targets using the non-IFRS measure presented here. While many other insurers in our peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measure presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which AEGON and its peers present similar information before comparing them.

AEGON believes the non-IFRS measure shown herein, when read together with our reported IFRS financial statements, provides meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate AEGON’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.

Underlying earnings

Certain assets held by AEGON Americas, AEGON The Netherlands and AEGON UK are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. These include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate limited partnerships, convertible bonds and structured products. Underlying earnings exclude any over-

or underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets. Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. The expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) where applicable.

In addition, certain products offered by AEGON Americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by AEGON Canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of AEGON USA. The earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk free interest rates. Short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. Included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. The fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of AEGON The Netherlands and Variable Annuities Europe (included in New Markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.

Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss. The interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. The fair value movement resulting from changes in AEGON’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.

Fair value items

Fair value items include the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings. Changes to these long-term return assumptions are also included in the fair value items.

In addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.

Realized gains or losses on investments

Includes realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, mortgage loans and loan portfolios.

Impairment charges / reversals

Includes impairments and reversals on available-for-sale debt securities and impairments on shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs, mortgage loans and loan portfolios on amortized cost and associates respectively.

Other income or charges

Other income or charges is used to report any items which cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business. Also items that are outside the normal course of business are included under this heading.

Other charges include restructuring charges that are considered other charges for segment reporting purposes because they are outside the normal course of business. In the condensed consolidated income statement, these charges are included in operating expenses.

Run-off businesses

Includes underlying results of business units where management has decided to exit the market and to run–off the existing block of business. Currently, this line includes the run-off of the institutional spread-based business, structured settlements blocks of business, Bank-Owned and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business and life reinsurance business in the United States. AEGON has other blocks of business for which sales have been discontinued and of which the earnings are included in underlying earnings.

On April 26, 2011, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to divest its life reinsurance activities, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. These activities are no longer reported in underlying earnings but are reflected in the run-off businesses line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and in 2010). More details on this transaction are given in note 23.

Also, in December 2010, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to discontinue new sales of executive non-qualified benefit plans and related Bank-Owned and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business in the United States. Earnings from the BOLI/COLI business are no longer reported in underlying earnings but reflected in the run-off businesses line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and 2010).

The comparative figures, affecting the Americas segment, regarding the underlying earnings and the run-off businesses have been revised as follows:

12. Other charges

Year to date other charges include an annual charge related to a bank tax charged by the Hungarian government of EUR 20 million.

This is partly offset by a reversal of previously incurred charges, resulting in an income in the third quarter of EUR 5 million.

attributable to regular amortization and the impact of shadow accounting offset slightly by foreign currency effects.

17. Reinsurance assets

The increase in Reinsurance assets is mainly the result of the increased activity in external reinsurance following the divestment of the life reinsurance business, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. Refer to note 23 for more details on this transaction.

On March 1, 2011, AEGON issued 173,604,912 new common shares of AEGON N.V. with a par value of EUR 0.12. The shares were issued at a price of EUR 5.20 per share. The proceeds of EUR 903 million were used to fund part of the repurchase of the convertible core capital securities described in note 20.

The new shares have been listed on Euronext Amsterdam, the principal market for AEGON’s common shares.

On March 15, 2011, Vereniging AEGON exercised its option rights to purchase 41,042,000 class B preferred shares at par value of EUR 0.25 in order to avoid dilution of its voting rights following the issuance of 10% new common shares on March 1, 2011.

20. Convertible core capital securities

AEGON repurchased EUR 1.5 billion in principal amount of the original EUR 3 billion in convertible core capital securities from the Dutch State. The total payment to the Dutch State amounted to EUR 2,250 million of which EUR 1,500 million related to the repurchase of 375 million convertible core capital securities and EUR 750 million related to the premium attached to this repurchase. This repurchase was completed in two equal tranches on March 15 and June 15 respectively.

With these transactions AEGON has repurchased all of the EUR 3 billion convertible core capital securities issued to the Dutch State at the height of the financial crisis in 2008.

On April 14, 2011, AEGON The Netherlands sold EUR 1.5 billion Class A residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) to a broad group of institutional investors. These securities consist of two tranches:

EUR 375 million of class A1 notes with an expected weighted average life of 1.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 0.95 %; and

EUR 1,125 million of class A2 notes with an expected weighted average life of 4.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 1.35 %.

The securities were issued under the Dutch SAECURE program. The net proceeds where used to finance a part of the existing Dutch mortgage portfolio of AEGON The Netherlands.

Debentures and other loans increased due to the sale of these residential mortgage backed securities, partly offset by redemptions and negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Included in Debentures and other loans is EUR 987 million relating to borrowings measured at fair value (2010: EUR 987 million).

Commercial paper, Short term deposits and Bank overdrafts vary with the normal course of business.

22. Commitments and contingencies

On July 26, 2011, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, an intermediate appeals court, ruled with respect to a specific AEGON unit-linked product, the ‘Koersplan’-product.

The Amsterdam Court of Appeal accepted AEGON’s positions that Koersplan-products sold during the period 1989-1998 entailed an obligation on the part of customers to pay a premium for a death benefit. However, the Court ruled that AEGON should have more clearly informed its customers about the amount of premium which the company charged in relation to the embedded death benefit. AEGON acknowledges that its level of communication could have been better at the time and has subsequently taken steps to substantially improve its communications with customers as well as adjusting the amounts charged to Koersplan-customers.

In its decision, the Court ruled that customers are required to pay a reasonable premium. However, the Court went on to define what it considers to be a reasonable premium at a level below that charged by AEGON.

The Court based its decision on a single industry example, which AEGON believes is not representative. AEGON believes that, based on the arguments presented, the Court’s ruling was wrongly decided and, in October 2011, appealed the decision taken by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court in the Netherlands. However, if the Supreme Court were to confirm the decision taken by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal and the principles underlying such decision were applied to AEGON’s entire KoersPlan-portfolio (instead of solely to the holders of KoersPlan-products who are plaintiffs in the pending litigation), AEGON currently estimates the financial effect to be approximately EUR 150 million after tax.

The actual amount may vary based on uncertainties related to the application of any decision to individual customers, equity market fluctuations as well as interest rates movements. AEGON expects the Supreme Court to issue a decision during the second half of 2012.

Except for the before mentioned, there have been no material changes in contingent assets and liabilities as reported in the 2010 consolidated financial statements of AEGON.

23. Acquisitions / Divestments

Acquisitions

Effective July 1, 2011, AEGON entered into a Joint Venture contract with Unnim, the entity which was created by the merger of Caixa Terrassa, Caixa Sabadell and Caixa Manlleu. AEGON Spain is the sole insurance partner of Unnim to provide life and pension insurance products.

Divestments

On August 16, 2011, AEGON announced to sell its UK-based Guardian life and pension business for a total cash consideration of GBP 275 million to Cinven, a European private equity group. Guardian, which manages over 300,000 life insurance policies in the United Kingdom, has been closed to acquiring new business since 2001.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011 and is subject to regulatory approval. The book value of the Guardian business is expected to be an approximation of the sales price at the transaction date.

Underlying earnings before tax for Guardian life and pension totaled GBP 23 million in 2010. Gross written premiums for 2010 was GBP 129 million and net income for 2010 was GBP 26 million for the Guardian life and pension business.

On August 9, 2011, AEGON completed the previously announced divestment of its life reinsurance business, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. The divestment resulted in a total after-tax consideration of USD 1.4 billion, consisting of cash proceeds of USD 0.9 billion and capital release of USD 0.5 billion.

AEGON has retained certain blocks of business consisting primarily of variable annuity guarantee products with a book value of USD 0.4 billion.


page 21		Local knowledge. Global power.		Unaudited

The divestment of Transamerica Reinsurance consists of a series of reinsurance agreements between various statutory insurance entities and SCOR for the US domestic business. In addition, SCOR has acquired Transamerica International Reinsurance Ireland (TIRI), a company that includes reinsurance contracts that are assumed by AEGON US domestic companies which have been retroceded to TIRI, and has taken over the operational assets and systems of Transamerica Reinsurance.

The business residing in Transamerica International Reinsurance, Bermuda (TIRe) has been retroceded to SCOR. TIRe continues to provide reserve credit security for redundant reserves to AEGON USA’s ceding companies. AEGON maintains approximately half of the collateral requirements needed for reinsurance reserve financing. This obligation provides reserve credit security and will run-off over approximately 15 years.

Structuring the transaction as a reinsurance arrangement leaves AEGON exposed to a counter-party risk of SCOR not performing on the reinsurance contracts as the business matures. For such an event, certain levels of collateral related to the reinsured contracts have been placed in trust for AEGON’s benefit. SCOR is rated A2/A by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, both with positive outlooks.

The transaction is accounted for primarily as a reinsurance transaction between AEGON and SCOR. Certain fixed assets and certain investment assets are transferred with any related gain (loss) being recognized. As a result, the divestment has no significant impact on shareholders’ equity. Earnings on the business retained as well as amortization of the prepaid cost of reinsurance assets are reflected in the run-off businesses line in AEGON’s segment reporting.

The reinsurance business being retained by AEGON, which comprises primarily the variable annuity guarantee business, is substantially hedged for financial market risks and produces normalized results which are negligible. In addition, various administration, service and asset management contracts are part of the transaction. The combined result, consisting primarily of the amortization of the prepaid cost of reinsurance, is approximately USD 40 million before tax per annum initially. These costs are expected to trend down as the contracts mature. Transamerica Reinsurance realized underlying earnings before tax of USD 105 million in 2010.
