Notes

1. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied to the information in the earnings release follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in effect as of the date of this release and are consistent with those applied in the 2006 Annual Report. Refer to the 2006 Annual Report, available at www.invesco.com, for a more detailed discussion of these policies. The accounting policies applied to the information in this earnings release are also consistent with those that are expected to be applied in the 2007 Annual Report. IFRS comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board and its predecessors. As of June 30, 2007, all issued IFRS were also adopted by the European Commission, with the exception of IFRS 8, "Operating Segments," which is effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009, but which is not expected to result in changes to the company's single-segment approach, and the amendment to IAS 23, "Borrowing Costs," which is also effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009, and which is not expected to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. IFRS 7, "Financial Instruments: Disclosures," and the related amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements, Capital Disclosures," are effective for periods commencing January 1, 2007. The disclosure requirements of these standards will be reflected in the company's 2007 Annual Report. The company has adopted IFRIC 11, "Group and Treasury Share Transactions," which has provided additional guidance for accounting for share-based payment transactions upon award vesting between the parent and its subsidiaries. The application of IFRIC 11 did not have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

The interim financial information has been prepared under the measurement and recognition principles of IFRS as permitted by the Committee of European Securities Regulators and does not purport to be a complete or condensed set of interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting."

Certain prior year balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of those amounts.

A significant proportion of the tax charge arose from U.S., U.K., and Canadian operations. The effective tax rate was 34.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (the six months ended June 30, 2006: 36.6%).

3. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary and exchangeable shares outstanding during the respective periods, excluding shares purchased and held by employee share ownership trusts and held in treasury. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the effect of the potential issuance of ordinary shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO INVESCO PLC

Introduction

We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2007 which comprises consolidated financial statements including the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statements and the related notes 1 to 8. We have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 "Review of interim financial information" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.

Review work performed

We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 "Review of interim financial information" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data, and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied, unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.

Review conclusion

On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
