Summarised aggregate financial information on the Group’s interests in its associates is as follows:

£m £m
Share of revenues 427 277
Shareof results beforetax 48 39
Share of assets 3,111 2,897

Share of net assets 613 622
The associates have no significant contingent liabilities to which the Group is exposed, nor has the Group any significant contingent
liabilities in relation to its interest in the associates.
(d) Impairment testing
The Group’s investments in RBS Life Investments Limited and RBSG Collective Investments Limited have been tested for impairment by
comparing their carrying values (which include goodwill which arose on their acquisition) with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable
amounts for both the investments have been determined based on value in use calculations. The calculations use cash flow projections
based on business plans approved by management covering a five year period and a risk adjusted discount rate of 6.8%. Cash flows
beyond that five year period have been extrapolated using a growth rate of 4.5%.The recoverable amounts significantly exceed the
carrying values of both the investments and a reasonably possible change to the key underlying assumptions will not cause the carrying
values of the investments to exceed their recoverable amounts.
