INFORMATION FOR GENERAL ACCIDENT PLC PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS
GENERAL ACCIDENT PLC
Unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2021
These results are published for the benefit of preference
shareholders of General Accident plc (the Company) for the six
months ended 30 June 2021. The preference shares have remained
listed on the London Stock Exchange following the merger of the
Company with Commercial Union plc, in June 1998 to form CGU plc
(CGU), and the subsequent merger of CGU with Norwich Union plc in
May 2000 to form Aviva plc (formerly CGNU plc).
The Company transferred its interest in its subsidiaries to its
parent company, Aviva plc in 2005, in return for an inter-company
loan with Aviva plc. The income of the Company for the six months
to 30 June 2021 consists of interest received on this loan.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company for the
remainder of the year are:
- Credit risk : the net asset value of the Company's financial
resources is exposed to the potential default on the loans and
short-term receivables due from its parent, Aviva plc. The external
issuer credit rating (representing an issuer's ability to meet its
overall financial commitments as they fall due) is A.
- Interest rate risk: From January 2021, the loan the Company
holds with Aviva plc was set at a fixed rate of 0.695% for 5 years.
This will result in the loan bearing sufficient annual interest to
cover the preference share dividends each year. As the loan rate is
no longer exposed to interest rate fluctuations, the Company is no
longer exposed to interest rate risk.
- COVID-19: The Company continues to maintain a positive net
asset value and since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 the
Company has remained operational.
The Company is part of the Aviva plc group (Group) and Aviva plc
owns 100% of the Company's ordinary issued share capital.

Basis of preparation
The results for the six months to 30 June 2021 have been
prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the
Company's 2020 Annual Report and Accounts. The interim accounts do
not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. The auditor has reported on the 2020 accounts
and the report was unqualified and did not contain a statement
under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The
Company's 2020 Report and Accounts have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies.
During the period, there have been no changes in the nature of
related party transactions from those described in the Company's
2020 accounts.
The results for the six months are unaudited.
The unaudited results of Aviva plc for the six months ended 30
June 2021 are available on application to the Group Company
Secretary, Aviva plc, St. Helen's, 1 Undershaft, London EC3P 3DQ. A
copy can also be found on the Aviva plc website at www.aviva.com
.
Going concern
A going concern review has been undertaken as part of the 2021
interim reporting process. After making enquires, the directors
have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources
to continue in operational existence over a period of at least
twelve months from the date of approval of the interim accounts.
For this reason, the Company continues to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the interim accounts.
Responsibility statement
The directors confirm that these condensed interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted
by the European Union and as issued by the IASB and that the
interim management report includes a fair review of the information
required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:
(a) An indication of important events that have occurred during
the first six months and their impact on the condensed set of
financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year;
and
(b) Material related party transactions in the first six months
and any material changes in the related party transactions
described in the last annual report.
