General insurance and health
Our general insurance and health business provides insurance cover to individuals and to small and medium-sized
businesses, for risks associated mainly with motor vehicles, property and liability, such as employers’ liability and
professional indemnity liability, and medical expenses.
Other
Other activities not related to the core business segments or which are not reportable segments due to their immateriality, such as RAC non-insurance operations, our banking businesses and service companies are included as “Other” in the following tables. Head office expenses, such as Group treasury and finance functions are also reported as “Other”, together with eliminations and any other reconciling items. Certain financing costs and taxes are not allocated among the segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the Group as a whole. Any transactions between the business segments are on normal commercial terms and market conditions.
Segment assets and liabilities comprise operating assets and liabilities, being the majority of the balance sheet but excluding items such as tax and borrowings.

(h) Goodwill allocation and impairment testing
IFRS requires formal impairment testing to be carried out annually. For impairment testing, goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives have been allocated to cash-generating units by geographical reporting unit and business segment. The carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is reviewed at least annually or when circumstances or events indicate there may be uncertainty over this value.
The last formal impairment test was carried out at 31 December 2005 which led to an impairment charge of £43 million in full year 2005. During 2005, goodwill allocated to a life cash-generating unit in Germany was tested for impairment. Following the impairment test, an impairment charge of £21 million was recognised in the income statement. The remaining £22 million related to other small European businesses. In the first six months of 2006, there was no impairment charge.
Other long-lived assets such as acquired value of in-force business and intangibles are not subject to formal annual impairment testing but are amortised on an annual basis.

(j) Geographical analysis of life and pensions and investment sales – new business and total income
For the purpose of recording life and pensions new business premiums, the Group’s policy is to include life insurance, long-term health and accident insurance, savings, pensions and annuity business written by our life insurance subsidiaries, including managed pension fund business and our share of the other life and related business written in our associates and joint ventures as well as the lifetime mortgage business written in the UK. This includes both insurance and investment contracts as defined under IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and is consistent with the definition of covered business used for our embedded value reporting.
An analysis of new long-term business sales is provided below. In this table, single premiums are those relating to products issued by the Group, which provide for the payment of one premium only. Regular premiums are those where there is a contractual obligation to pay on an ongoing basis. Life and pensions total income represents all net written premiums in the year for insurance contracts and investment contracts, excluding non-participating investment contracts which are required to be accounted for under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IAS 18, Revenue.
