1 Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the ongoing business, adjusted to reflect the deduction of the accrued coupon on undated subordinated notes classified in equity, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity of ongoing business. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves, the undated subordinated notes classified as equity as well as the goodwill and intangible assets recognised as a result of the Delta Lloyd acquisition. Reference is made to the section 'Alternative Performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)' in the 2016 Consolidated Annual Accounts. As of 1 January 2017, NN Group changed its accounting policy for the Reserve Adequacy Test. The change represents a change in accounting policy under IFRS and is implemented retrospectively. The impact on previous periods is limited to the consolidated balance sheet and equity. For more details reference is made to the 31 March 2017 Condensed consolidated interim accounts.
2 The solvency ratios are not final until filed with the regulators. The Solvency II ratios for NN Group are based on the partial internal model.

Continued
In the first six months of 2017, the operating result of the ongoing business increased from EUR 626 million in the same period last year to EUR 810 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 49 million. The operating result excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 135 million, driven by improved results in most segments partly offset by the impact of the strengthening of P&C insurance liabilities in Netherlands Nonlife.
NN Group continues to focus on cost efficiencies and realising the cost synergies from the acquisition of Delta Lloyd. The administrative expenses of the Delta Lloyd businesses have been restated on a pro-forma basis to the NN Group definition for such expenses, for 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. The administrative expenses in the business units in the scope of the integration - Netherlands Life, Netherlands Non-life, Asset Management, the segment Other and Belgium - decreased by EUR 22 million in the first half of 2017. At the end of the second quarter of 2017, the administrative expense base amounted to EUR 2,002 million on a last 12-months basis versus EUR 2,024 million for the full year 2016.
The result before tax increased from EUR 758 million in the first six months of 2016 to EUR 882 million in the first six months of 2017, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 28 million. The result before tax excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 97 million reflecting the higher operating result of the ongoing business, higher non-operating items and improved results at Japan Closed Block VA, partly offset by a provision related to ING Australia Holdings, higher special items and the amortisation of acquisition intangibles.
In the first six months of 2017, total new sales were up 33.7% on a constant currency basis to EUR 1,020 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 66 million. New sales excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 192 million, driven by higher sales in Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe and Japan Life.
In the first six months of 2017 the value of new business (VNB) increased from EUR 101 million in the same period last year to EUR 170 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 7 million. The VNB excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 63 million, driven by higher sales at better margins at Japan Life and Insurance Europe.
The net operating ROE in the first six months of 2017 increased to 10.9% from 8.6% in the same period in 2016, driven by a higher net operating result.

Reference is made to the section 'Alternative Performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)' in the 2016 Consolidated Annual Accounts.
In the first six months of 2017, Netherlands Life's operating result increased from EUR 369 million in the same period last year to EUR 511 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 57 million. Excluding Delta Lloyd, the operating result increased by EUR 85 million driven by a higher investment margin and lower administrative expenses. This was partly offset by lower fees and premium-based revenues, reflecting the run-off of the individual life closed book as well as lower margins in the pension business. The technical margin of the first six months of 2016 was impacted by an addition to the unit linked guarantee provision of EUR 32 million.
The result before tax increased from EUR 624 million in the first six months of 2016, to EUR 772 million of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 26 million. Excluding Delta Lloyd, this increase was driven by the higher operating result and higher realised gains on government bonds and equity investments, partly offset by negative market and other impacts reflecting movements in the provisions for unit-linked guarantees and separate account pension contracts.
New sales (APE) increased to EUR 288 million in the first six months of 2017 from EUR 196 million in the same period last year. The new sales excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 42 million, mainly driven by higher sales of defined contribution pensions.
The value of new business (VNB) was EUR 6 million in the first six months of 2017, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 3 million.

4 Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the segment, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves. Reference is made to the section 'Alternative Performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)' in the 2016 Consolidated Annual Accounts.
The operating result of Netherlands Non-life decreased from EUR 28 million in the first six months of 2016 to EUR 4 million in the first six months of 2017, of which EUR -6 million related to Delta Lloyd. The decrease in the operating result excluding Delta Lloyd is mainly attributable to the impact of EUR 40 million strengthening of insurance liabilities in the Motor and Miscellaneous portfolios, while the first six months of 2016 included the impact of severe storms of EUR 28 million. The operating result in the first six months of 2017 also includes EUR 6 million private equity dividends compared with EUR 5 million in the same period in 2016.
The result before tax decreased from EUR 47 million in the first six months of 2016 to EUR 18 million, of which EUR -5 million related to Delta Lloyd. The decrease in the result before tax excluding Delta Lloyd is mainly due to the lower operating result as well as lower gains on debt securities.
The combined ratio for the first six months of 2017 was 103.2% compared with 100.1% in the same period of 2016.

In the first six months of 2017, the operating result of Insurance Europe increased from EUR 86 million in the same period of 2016 to EUR 115 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 4 million. The operating result excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 25 million, driven by higher fees and premium-based revenues partly offset by higher administrative expenses.
The result before tax in the first six months of 2017 increased from EUR 57 million in the same period of 2016 to EUR 158 million of which Delta Lloyd contributed by EUR 11 million. The result before tax excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 91 million, reflecting the higher operating result, higher non-operating items and lower special items.
New sales (APE) increased to EUR 345 million in the first six months of 2017 from EUR 263 million in the same period last year. New sales excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 66 million reflecting higher life sales across the region.
The value of new business (VNB) was EUR 72 million in the first six months of 2017 compared with EUR 46 million in the same period last year. The VNB excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 22 million, driven by higher sales at better margins.

Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves. Reference is made to the section 'Alternative Performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)' in the 2016 Consolidated Annual Accounts. As of 2Q17, the net operating result and adjusted allocated equity used to calculate the Net operating ROE of Japan Life are adjusted for the impact of internal reinsurance ceded to NN Group's reinsurance business.
In the first six months of 2017 the operating result of Japan Life was EUR 123 million, up 32.7% compared with 2016, excluding currency effects. A higher technical margin due to better mortality and surrender results, higher fees and premium-based revenues and an improved investment margin were partly offset by an increase in DAC amortisation and administrative expenses.
The result before tax for the first six months of 2017 was EUR 118 million, up 35.1% at constant currencies, from 2016, driven by the higher operating result.
New sales (APE) were EUR 387 million, up 24.1% from the first six months of 2016 at constant currencies, driven by higher sales of a new COLI increasing term product launched in March 2017 and the COLI critical illness product launched in July 2016.
The value of new business (VNB) for the first six months of 2017 increased to EUR 93 million, up 86.7% from 2016 excluding currency effects, driven by higher sales at better margins.

In the first six months of 2017, the operating result was EUR 70 million, up 13.7% from the same period in 2016. Higher fee income as a result of the inclusion of Delta Lloyd Asset Management, higher average AuM and higher margin AuM was partly offset by an increase in administrative expenses due to the inclusion of Delta Lloyd Asset Management and higher staff-related expenses. The result before tax in the first six months of 2017 was EUR 65 million, up 9.9% compared with the same period in 2016, as the higher operating result was partly offset by higher special items.

In the first six months of 2017, the operating result of the segment Other decreased from EUR -9 million in the same period of 2016 to EUR -12 million, of which EUR -5 million related to Delta Lloyd. The operating result excluding Delta Lloyd improved by EUR 2 million, mainly reflecting a higher operating result of NN Bank offset by higher holding expenses and higher interest on hybrids and debt.
The operating result of the banking business improved from EUR 30 million in the first six months of 2016 to EUR 58 million, of which Delta Lloyd contributed EUR 9 million. The operating result excluding Delta Lloyd increased by EUR 19 million, mainly driven by a higher interest result due to the continued expansion of NN Bank's mortgage and customer savings activities, as well as lower additions to the loan loss provision.
The result before tax of the segment Other decreased from EUR -17 million in the first six months of 2016 to EUR -240 million, of which EUR -3 million related to Delta Lloyd. The result before tax excluding Delta Lloyd decreased by EUR 219 million due to a provision related to ING Australia Holdings, higher special items reflecting expenses related to the acquisition and integration of Delta Lloyd and restructuring expenses, as well as amortisation of acquisition intangibles. These items were partly compensated by the EUR 20 million realised gain on Delta Lloyd shares and the rebalancing transaction, as well as a EUR 9 million gain on the sale of Mandema & Partners completed in January 2017.

1 End of period.
In the first six months of 2017 the result before tax was EUR -8 million compared with EUR -97 million in the same period a year ago. The first six months of 2017 included a hedge-related loss of EUR 21 million whereas the same period last year included a EUR 102 million hedgerelated loss due to higher market volatility, as well as a EUR 16 million technical provision increase following a refinement of lapse assumptions.
In the first six months of 2017 the operating result before tax was EUR 13 million compared with EUR 16 million in the same period a year ago, down 21.7% excluding currency impacts, mainly due to lower fees and premium-based revenues driven by the run-off of the portfolio.
Continued
Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 1.4 billion in the first six months of 2017 to EUR 10.0 billion. This mainly reflects, EUR 3.0 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd and the issuance of EUR 900 million of senior notes in May 2017, offset by the cash payment of EUR 2.1 billion for the acquisition of Delta Lloyd.
Investments for risk of policyholders increased EUR 3.8 billion to EUR 34.5 billion during the first six months of 2017 mainly reflecting EUR 10.0 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, partly offset by the run-off of Japan Closed Block VA, asset transfers for a total amount of EUR 1.9 billion from the separate account to the general account at Netherlands Life and the transfer to Assets held for sale for an amount of EUR 2.4 billion as the result of the sale of NN Life Luxembourg announced in April 2017. These changes are mirrored in the Liabilities for risk of policyholders.
Debt securities increased by EUR 26.6 billion to EUR 99.4 billion, of which EUR 29.1 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, offset by lower market values as result of the impact of higher long-term interest rates as well as currency impacts.
Loans increased by EUR 20.7 billion to EUR 54.6 billion in the first six months of 2017, reflecting EUR 19.9 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd as well as an increase in the Mortgages portfolio.
As a result of the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, EUR 447 million of intangible assets were recognised on the opening balance sheet (mainly brand names, distribution agreements and client relationships). These intangibles will be amortised in the profit and loss account over their useful lives. Additionally, EUR 1.1 billion of goodwill, being the difference between the purchase price of EUR 2.5 billion and the equity of Delta Lloyd on the opening balance sheet of EUR 1.3 billion, was recognised on the balance sheet which will be tested for impairment at least annually going forward.
Assets and Liabilities held for sale at the end of the first half year of 2017 reflect the balance sheet items of NN Life Luxembourg. The Assets and liabilities held for sale at the end of 2016 reflect Mandema & Partners, the sale of which was completed in January 2017.
Debt securities issued increased following the EUR 500 million senior notes issued in January 2017, debt securities for a total amount of EUR 0.6 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd and EUR 900 million of senior notes issued in May 2017.
Life Insurance liabilities increased by EUR 39.6 billion to EUR 120.3 billion due to EUR 39.6 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, the transfer of insurance liabilities from the separate account to the general account at Netherlands Life, and a higher sales volume in NN Life Japan. These items were offset by currency impacts and lower deferred interest credited to policyholders following the decrease of the debt securities revaluation reserve and cash flow hedge.
Liabilities for risk of policyholders increased by EUR 4.4 billion to EUR 35.2 billion for the first six months of 2017, of which EUR 9.6 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, offset by the aforementioned transfers from the separate account to the general account at Netherlands Life, the transfer to assets and liabilities held for sale as the result of the sale of NN Life Luxembourg and the run-off of Japan Closed Block VA.
Customer deposits increased by EUR 4.4 billion of which EUR 3.8 billion recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd.
Shareholders' equity decreased by EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 21.8 billion at the end of the first half year 2017, reflecting a decrease in the available-for-sale-debt securities and cash flow hedge revaluation reserves due to higher interest rates. The decrease is partly offset by a lower deferred interest crediting to policyholders, the issue of new NN Group shares related to the acquisition of Delta Lloyd as well as the net result for the first six months of 2017.

1 As of 1 January 2017, NN Group changed its accounting policy for the Reserve Adequacy Test. The change represents a change in accounting policy under IFRS and is implemented retrospectively. The impact on previous periods is limited to the consolidated balance sheet and equity. For more details refer to the 31 March 2017 Condensed consolidated interim accounts.
2 As of 2Q17, the calculation methodology for the financial leverage ratio has been updated to better align with market practice. Goodwill is no longer deducted from the capital base for financial leverage and historical figures have been updated to reflect this change.
The calculation methodology for the financial leverage ratio has been updated to better align with market practice. Goodwill is no longer deducted from the capital base for financial leverage and historical figures have been updated to reflect this change. The financial leverage ratio of NN Group increased to 30.8% at the end of the second quarter of 2017 compared with 20.8% at the end of 2016. The amount of financial leverage increased due to the addition of EUR 750 million subordinated notes and EUR 575 million senior debt issued by Delta Lloyd N.V., and EUR 500 million subordinated notes issued by Delta Lloyd Life. In addition, NN Group issued EUR 850 million subordinated notes with a fixed coupon at 4.625% per annum and a maturity of 31 years and three senior unsecured notes for a total amount of EUR 1,400 million, consisting of EUR 500 million with a fixed coupon at 0.875% per annum and a maturity of 6 years, EUR 300 million with a fixed coupon at 0.25% per annum and a maturity of 3 years and EUR 600 million with a fixed coupon at 1.625% per annum and a maturity of 10 years. The increase of financial leverage also reflects the repayment of EUR 200 million operational leverage by NN Bank to the holding company. These items were offset by the repayment of the EUR 476 million non-qualifying subordinated notes in May. The capital base for financial leverage increased by EUR 1,385 million mainly due to the issue of new NN Group shares for a total amount of EUR 420 million related to the acquisition of Delta Lloyd, an increase in minority interests of EUR 301 million and the first half year net result of EUR 676 million.

These Condensed consolidated interim accounts of NN Group N.V. have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The accounting principles used to prepare these Condensed consolidated interim accounts comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and are consistent with those set out in the notes to the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts, except as set out below.
These Condensed consolidated interim accounts should be read in conjunction with the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.
IFRS-EU provides a number of options in accounting policies. NN Group's accounting policies under IFRS-EU and its decision on the options available are set out in Note 1 'Accounting policies' of the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.
Certain amounts recorded in the Condensed consolidated interim accounts reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.
The presentation of and certain terms used in these Condensed consolidated interim accounts has been changed to provide additional and more relevant information or (for changes in comparative information) to better align with the current period presentation. The impact of these changes is explained in the relevant notes when significant.
Reference is made to the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts for more details on upcoming changes in accounting policies.
As of 1 January 2017, NN Group changed its accounting policy for the Reserve Adequacy Test. The policy that was applied until 2016 is set out in the section 'Accounting policies for specific items – Insurance and investment contracts, reinsurance contracts – Adequacy test' in the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.
As of 1 January 2017, the following policy applies:
'The adequacy of the insurance liabilities, net of DAC and VOBA (the net insurance liabilities), is evaluated at each reporting period by each business unit for the business originated in that business unit. The test involves comparing the established net insurance liability to a liability based on current best estimate actuarial assumptions. The assumed investment returns are a combination of the run-off of current portfolio yields on existing assets and reinvestment rates in relation to maturing assets and anticipated new premiums; as a result (part of) the revaluation reserve in shareholders equity is taken into account in assessing the adequacy of insurance liabilities.
If, for any business unit, the established insurance liability is lower than the liability based on current best estimate actuarial assumptions the shortfall is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
If the net insurance liabilities are determined to be more than adequate no reduction in the net insurance liabilities is recognised.
The differences between the new policy and the policy applied until 2016 are:
The new policy aligns better to current market practice. The change represents a change in accounting policy under IFRS and is implemented retrospectively.
This change had no impact on the Consolidated profit and loss account. The impact on the Consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2016 was not significant and is as follows:

NN Group changed its classification of interest income/expense on derivatives for which no hedge accounting is applied. This interest income/expense was classified in 'Investment income' and 'Interest expenses' respectively. This classification is changed and interest income/expense on derivatives for which no hedge accounting is applied is now classified in 'Valuation results on non-trading derivatives', together with the changes in the (clean) fair value of these derivatives. The new classification aligns better to current market practice. The relevant comparative figures for 2016 have been amended as shown in the table below. This change only impacts the classification in the Condensed consolidated profit and loss account. There was no impact on shareholders' equity and net result.

Intangible assets include the preliminary values of the intangibles recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd:
Reference is made to Note 26 'Companies and businesses acquired and divested'.
Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This relates to businesses that are available for immediate sale in their present condition, for which management is committed to a sale and for which a sale is highly probable, i.e. expected to occur within one year.
As at 30 June 2017 assets and liabilities held for sale relate to NN Life Luxembourg. NN Life Luxembourg is presented in the segment 'Insurance Europe'. Assets held for sale relate mainly to Available-for-sale investments. Liabilities held for sale relate mainly to Insurance and investment contracts. Classification as held for sale does not impact the comparative figures in the balance sheet. As NN Life Luxembourg does not qualify as a discontinued operation, there is no impact on the presentation of the profit and loss account. For more information, reference is made to Note 26 'Companies and businesses acquired and divested'.

In September 2016 NN Group paid a 2016 interim dividend of EUR 0.60 per ordinary share, which represents a total amount of EUR 195 million. The 2016 interim dividend was paid on 9 September 2016 either in cash or in ordinary shares at the election of the shareholder. As a result, an amount of EUR 113 million was distributed out of Other reserves (cash dividend) and 3,086,014 ordinary shares, with a par value of EUR 0.12 per share, were issued (EUR 82 million stock dividend).
On 1 June 2017, the General Meeting of Shareholders adopted the proposed 2016 final dividend of EUR 0.95 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 317 million in total. This dividend was paid on 26 June 2017 either in cash or in ordinary shares at the election of the shareholder. As a result, an amount of EUR 187 million was distributed out of Other reserves (cash dividend) and 4,082,061 ordinary shares, with a par value of EUR 0.12 per share, were issued (EUR 129 million stock dividend). Together with the 2016 interim dividend of EUR 0.60 per ordinary share paid in September 2016, NN Group's total dividend for 2016 amounted to EUR 1.55 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 512 million.
NN Group will pay a 2017 interim dividend of EUR 0.62 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 209 million in total. The 2017 interim dividend will be paid either in cash or ordinary shares at the election of the shareholder.
To neutralise the dilutive effect of the final and interim stock dividend, NN Group repurchases ordinary shares for an amount equivalent to the stock dividends.
In April 2017, NN Group issued 8,749,237 ordinary shares to Fonds NutsOhra in exchange for the preference shares A in Delta Lloyd held by Fonds NutsOhra and the perpetual subordinated loan provided to Delta Lloyd.
In June 2017 NN Group issued 5,069,969 ordinary shares for a total amount of EUR 165 million as the result of the legal merger of Delta Lloyd into NN Group whereby remaining holders of Delta Lloyd shares received listed ordinary shares in NN Group.

The increase in Undated subordinated notes of EUR 778 million relates to the Undated subordinated note of Delta Lloyd that is classified as equity under IFRS.
The Undated subordinated notes issued by NN Group have an optional annual coupon payment in July. Following the payment of dividend in 2017, the payment of the annual coupon on 15 July 2017 became mandatory and was recognised as a liability in June. As a result, EUR 34 million (net of tax) was deducted from equity.
The Undated subordinated notes issued by Delta Lloyd (now NN Group Bidco B.V.) have an optional annual coupon payment in June. As a result, EUR 25 million (net of tax) was deducted from equity.

The coupon is fixed at 4.625% per annum until the first call date and will be floating thereafter. These notes qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital. The proceeds were used to repay EUR 823 million of hybrid loans to ING Group in the first quarter of 2017.
In January 2017, NN Group redeemed all three perpetual subordinated hybrid loans with variable coupons for a total amount of EUR 823 million.

The reporting segments for NN Group, based on the internal reporting structure, are as follows:
The Executive Board and the Management Board set the performance targets and approve and monitor the budgets prepared by the reporting segments. The segments formulate strategic, commercial and financial policies in conformity with the strategy and performance targets set by the Executive Board and the Management Board.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 'Accounting policies'. Transfer prices for inter-segment transactions are set at arm's length. Corporate expenses are allocated to segments based on time spent by head office personnel, the relative number of staff, or on the basis of income and/or assets of the segment. Intercompany loans that qualify as equity instruments under IFRS-EU are presented in the segment reporting as debt; related coupon payments are presented as income and expenses in the respective segments.
Operating result (before tax) is used by NN Group to evaluate the financial performance of its segments. Each segment's operating result is calculated by adjusting the reported result before tax for the following items:
The operating result for the life insurance business is analysed through a margin analysis, which includes the investment margin, fees and premium-based revenues and the technical margin. Disclosures on comparative years also reflect the impact of current year's divestments. Operating result as presented below is an Alternative Performance Measure (non-GAAP financial measure) and is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS-EU. Because it is not determined in accordance with IFRS-EU, operating result as presented by NN Group may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies.
Following the acquisition of Delta Lloyd the segments remain unchanged. Delta Lloyd entities/businesses have been allocated to the relevant existing segment. The main Delta Lloyd entities have been allocated as follows:
Acquisition related intangibles and related amortisation are recognised in the head office, which is presented in 'Other'.

For other financial assets and financial liabilities not included in the table above, including short-term receivables and payables, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The estimated fair value represents the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the financial asset or to transfer the financial liability would take place between market participants at the balance sheet date (exit price). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on unadjusted quoted market prices, where available. Such quoted market prices are primarily obtained from exchange prices for listed instruments. Where an exchange price is not available market prices are obtained from independent market vendors, brokers or market makers. Because substantial trading markets do not exist for all financial instruments, various techniques have been developed to estimate the approximate fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not actively traded. The fair value presented may not be indicative of the net realisable value. In addition, the calculation of the estimated fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be indicative of the future fair value.
Further information on the methods and assumptions that were used by NN Group to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments and the sensitivities for changes in these assumptions is disclosed in Note 36 'Fair value of financial assets and liabilities' of the 2016 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.
The fair value of the financial instruments carried at fair value was determined as follows:

This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined directly by reference to published quotes in an active market that NN Group can access. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information on an ongoing basis.
This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model), where inputs in the model are taken from an active market or are observable. If certain inputs in the model are unobservable the instrument is still classified in this category, provided that the impact of those unobservable inputs elements on the overall valuation is insignificant. Included in this category are items whose value is derived from quoted prices of similar instruments, but for which the prices are modified based on other market observable external data and items whose value is derived from quoted prices but for which there was insufficient evidence of an active market.
This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model) for which more than an insignificant part of the inputs in terms of the overall valuation are not market observable. This category also includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined by reference to price quotes but for which the market is considered inactive. An instrument is classified in its entirety as Level 3 if a significant portion of the instrument's fair value is driven by unobservable inputs. Unobservable in this context means that there is little or no current market data available from which the price at which an orderly transaction would likely occur can be derived.

In the second quarter of 2017, NN Group acquired all issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd N.V. (Delta Lloyd) for a total consideration of EUR 2,463 million. Included below is an overview of the transaction, a description of Delta Lloyd, the rationale for the transaction, the accounting at the acquisition date and certain additional disclosures on the acquisition.
In February 2017, NN Group announced a recommended public cash offer for all issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd at a price of EUR 5.40 in cash for each share, representing a total consideration of EUR 2,463 million.

On 7 April 2017, NN Group announced that following the expiry of the offer period, 79.9% of all issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd had been acquired. NN Group also announced an extension to the offer period which granted the holders of shares who had not yet tendered their shares the opportunity to tender their shares, under the same terms and conditions applicable to the offer, in the post closing acceptance period expiring on 21 April 2017. Furthermore, NN Group announced that all offer conditions as described in the offer memorandum had been satisfied, including obtaining the declarations of no objection from the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) and the European Central Bank (ECB), and competition clearance from the European Commission. In addition, NN Group announced that if, following the settlement date and the post closing acceptance period, NN Group had acquired less than 95% of the Delta Lloyd shares, NN Group would be entitled to pursue a legal merger of Delta Lloyd into NN Group whereby remaining holders of Delta Lloyd shares would receive listed ordinary shares in NN Group. In exchange for each Delta Lloyd share, the owner would receive a fraction of one NN Group share equal to the EUR 5.40 offer price per share divided by the NN Group stock price on the last day prior to the date on which the notarial deed to establish the legal merger was executed.
On 21 April 2017 NN Group announced that following the post closing acceptance period it had acquired approximately 93.3% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd.
On 8 May 2017, NN Group announced that it would continue the preparations for the Legal Merger. The Delta Lloyd Executive Board and Delta Lloyd Supervisory Board had approved and consented to the legal merger and the Delta Lloyd General Meeting had resolved to the legal merger on 29 March 2017.
On 31 May 2017, NN Group announced that the legal merger had been executed, whereby remaining holders of issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd (other than NN Group) received NN Group shares. In accordance with the legal merger proposal, in exchange for each Delta Lloyd share, the owner received 0.1662 NN Group share, being equal to the offer price of EUR 5.40 per ordinary share in Delta Lloyd, divided by the NN Group volume-weighted average stock price on 30 May 2017 of EUR 32.4946.
Following the settlement of the shares issued under the legal merger, NN Group has full ownership of Delta Lloyd.
Delta Lloyd is a financial services provider offering life insurance, pensions, general insurance, asset management and banking products and services to customers in the Netherlands and Belgium. In order to do so, Delta Lloyd uses multiple channels to distribute its products and services under the following brands: Delta Lloyd, BeFrank, OHRA and ABN AMRO Verzekeringen.
The Delta Lloyd Group offers a range of products from simple insurance products to bespoke and more sophisticated individual and group life insurance products, as well as basic savings and financial planning services through its multiple brands. The broad range of general insurance coverage includes motor vehicles, fire, liability, income protection, and specialist areas such as offshore wind parks. Delta Lloyd and OHRA also distribute health insurance products underwritten by CZ.
Delta Lloyd's Dutch banking activities mainly centre around mortgage loans, bank annuities, savings products and fund investments.
Delta Lloyd Asset Management manages and invests Delta Lloyd's assets and those of its policyholders. It also manages the investments of institutional and retail customers.
The acquisition of Delta Lloyd by NN Group is backed by a strategic rationale and long-term value creation opportunities.
NN Group and Delta Lloyd believe that a combination of Delta Lloyd and the Dutch and Belgian activities of NN Group is compelling. The transaction will result in an overall stronger platform within the Benelux from which to provide enhanced customer propositions and generate shareholder return:
NN Group believes that significant cost synergies will result from the combination. These synergies are anticipated in a range of areas including the integration of operational and supporting activities in Life and Non-life, full integration of Bank & Asset Management, removal of overlap in centralised functions and reduction in project spend.
The combined Group will be better placed to capture opportunities that technological innovation brings and will provide increased possibilities for knowledge sharing, strengthening capabilities and talent development. It will bring a perspective of growth and lead to opportunities for employees of both companies and will facilitate continuous improvement in customer service and experience.

The acquisition date of Delta Lloyd by NN Group for acquisition accounting under IFRS is 7 April 2017. On this date, NN Group acquired 79.9% of the ordinary shares in Delta Lloyd and thus obtained control. Furthermore, the announced legal merger as approved by Delta Lloyd at its Extraordinary General Meeting on 29 March 2017 provided certainty that NN Group would acquire full ownership of Delta Lloyd under the same conditions. Therefore, for acquisition accounting under IFRS, NN Group acquired full ownership of Delta Lloyd on 7 April 2017. NN Group used 1 April 2017 as a proxy for the acquisition date for practical reasons as the developments between 1 April 2017 and 7 April 2017 had no material impact. As a result, Delta Lloyd is included in the NN Group consolidation for the full second quarter of 2017.
The initial accounting for Delta Lloyd as at 1 April 2017 is ongoing and as such all values are provisional. NN Group has accounted for the acquisition using the provisional values disclosed below and will recognise any adjustments to these provisional values within a twelve month period from the acquisition date as amendments to the initial accounting.
The provisional values of certain assets and liabilities acquired as at 1 April 2017 as disclosed below differ significantly from the values of the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet of Delta Lloyd immediately before the acquisition by NN Group. This difference is mainly a result from the following amendments as a result of the purchase price allocation as required under IFRS:
The difference between the net assets acquired of EUR 1,317 million and the purchase consideration of EUR 2,463 million represents goodwill and is capitalised in the NN Group balance sheet. This resulting goodwill of EUR 1,146 million is not amortised, but will be tested for impairment at least annually going forward. The amount of goodwill recognised on the acquisition of Delta Lloyd represents mainly the value of synergies to the extent that these are not reflected in the acquisition balance sheet. The goodwill is not tax deductible.

Immediately before the acquisition, NN Group already held 45,273,626 ordinary shares in Delta Lloyd. These shares were classified as Available-for-sale investments and at the acquisition date had a fair value of EUR 244 million. A related revaluation reserve of EUR 20 million was recognised in shareholders' equity. As part of the acquisition of Delta Lloyd in the second quarter of 2017, the revaluation reserve on the shares already held was recognised in the profit and loss account, resulting in a gain of EUR 20 million (before tax) in 'Investment income – Realised gains on disposal of Available-for-sale equity securities.

In April 2017, NN Group announced that it had reached agreement with the Global Bankers Insurance Group on the sale of NN Life Luxembourg to an affiliate of Global Bankers Insurance Group. The sale will not impact NN Group's asset management business in Luxembourg. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the second half of 2017. The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the capital position and result of NN Group.
In May 2016 NN Group announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Dom Kredytowy Notus S.A. (Notus). Notus is a leading financial broker in Poland, offering mortgage loans, insurance, investment and savings products. The transaction was closed in the third quarter of 2016 and did not have a material impact on the capital position and operating result of NN Group.
In July 2016, NN Group announced the sale of its 100% subsidiary Mandema & Partners to Van Lanschot Chabot. The transaction, which was completed in January 2017, did not have a material impact on the capital position and result of NN Group.
In October 2016, NN Group announced that its wholly-owned reinsurance entity in Ireland, NN Re (Ireland) Limited, had signed a portfolio transfer agreement with Canada Life International Re Limited. The agreement is a result of the continuous strategic assessment of NN Group's portfolio. As a result of this portfolio transfer, NN Re (Ireland) Limited handed back its reinsurance license and repatriated almost all its capital to NN Group in the fourth quarter of 2016. These transactions have not impacted NN Group's reinsurance business in the Netherlands.
As previously disclosed, in April 2015 the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) commenced a Tax Audit on ING Australia Holdings Ltd. The Tax Audit concerns the years 2007-2013 and focused on the currency denomination of and interest on intercompany loans which resulted from the disposal of the insurance and asset management businesses in Australia. ING Australia Holdings was transferred by NN Group to ING Group in 2013 as part of which it was agreed that NN Group remains liable for any damages resulting from tax claims. An Independent Review of the Tax Audit was completed by the ATO in July 2017. In the second quarter, NN Group recognised a provision on the IFRS and Solvency II balance sheets for the amount of the expected claim of AUD 279 million (EUR 188 million at current exchange rates). This does not reflect that the final assessment will be subject to appeal by ING Australia Holdings which may be successful, and also that NN Group may be able to recover part of the amount in its Dutch tax return. The Tax Audit concerns a former subsidiary of NN Group and, therefore, does not impact NN Group's business or strategy going forward.
Nationale-Nederlanden (NN) continues to reach out to customers to encourage them to carefully assess their unit-linked products in order to find an appropriate solution on an individual basis, where needed.
In March 2017 'Consumentenbond' and 'Wakkerpolis', both associations representing the interests of NN policyholders, separately initiated so-called 'collective actions' against NN. These claims are based on similar grounds as used in the collective action initiated by 'Vereniging Woekerpolis.nl' in November 2013.
On 22 June 2017, the Appeals Committee of the KiFiD ruled in an individual case that was initiated by one of NN's customers, that NN, at the time of selling the unit-linked product, should have provided more information to this customer than was prescribed by the laws and regulations applicable at that time.
On 19 July 2017, the District Court in Rotterdam rendered a judgment in a collective action against NN in respect of unit-linked products. The Court rejected all claims of 'Vereniging Woekerpolis.nl' and ruled that NN has generally provided sufficient information on costs and premiums. The Court's judgment is in line with NN's view that the provision of information needs to be assessed against the laws and regulations and norms applicable at the time of concluding the unit-linked insurance policy. The Court did not follow the line of reasoning of the Appeals Committee of the KiFid in the individual claim proceedings leading to the ruling of 22 June 2017. The ruling of the District Court in Rotterdam is subject to appeal and does not change earlier statements and conclusions disclosed by NN Group in relation to unit-linked products. Dutch Courts and KiFiD will continue to provide rulings with respect to unit-linked products in proceedings against NN and other Dutch insurance companies.
The claims of 'Consumentenbond' and 'Wakkerpolis' are rejected by NN and NN defends itself in these legal proceedings. These collective actions do not change earlier statements and conclusions disclosed by NN Group in relation to unit-linked products.

The NN Group Solvency II ratio decreased to 196% at the end of the second quarter of 2017 from 241% at the end of 2016. This decrease was mainly due to the acquisition of Delta Lloyd. The decrease was partly offset by tightening of credit spreads on French government bonds, a positive contribution of equity and real estate investments, as well as operating return. The Solvency II ratio also reflects the net negative impact from model and assumption changes as well as the deduction of the 2017 interim dividend.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim accounts for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 of NN Group N.V. (the Company), The Hague, as included on page 16 to 52 of this report. These condensed consolidated interim accounts comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2017, the condensed consolidated profit and loss account, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the notes for the six-month period then ended. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed consolidated interim accounts in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim accounts based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim accounts as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
