34   Sun Life Financial Inc.    Third Quarter 2012   INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Condensed Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, in millions of Canadian dollars except for per share amounts and where otherwise stated)

1.    Accounting Policies

Sun Life Financial Inc. (“SLF Inc.”) is a publicly traded company domiciled in Canada and is the holding company of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (“Sun Life Assurance”). SLF Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “us”, “our”, “ours”, “we” or “the Company”.

Our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued and adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We have used accounting policies which are consistent with our accounting policies in our 2011 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 2011 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, as interim financial statements do not include all the information incorporated in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

2.    Changes in Accounting Policies

Amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards Adopted in 2012

In October 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to revise the disclosures related to transfers of financial assets. The revised disclosures will help users of financial statements evaluate the risk exposures relating to transfers of financial assets and the effect of those risks on an entity’s financial position and provide transparency in the reporting of these transactions, particularly those that involve securitization of financial assets. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011 and are not expected to have a material impact upon adoption.

In December 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes, named Deferred Tax and the Recovery of Underlying Assets. The amendments provide an approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment properties are measured at fair value. These amendments were adopted on January 1, 2012 and did not impact our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as the amendments are consistent with our accounting policy.

Amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards Issued in 2012

In May 2012, the IASB issued Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle, which includes amendments to five IFRSs. The annual improvements process is used to make necessary but non-urgent changes to IFRS that are not included as part of any other project. The amendments clarify guidance and wording or make relatively minor amendments to the standards that address unintended consequences, conflicts or oversights. The amendments issued as part of this cycle must be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of these amendments may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2012 the IASB issued Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12). The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and provide transitional relief for IFRS 10, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”) and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”) by limiting the comparative information requirements to only the preceding comparative period and by removing certain disclosure requirements for the comparative periods from IFRS 12. The effective date of these amendments is January 1, 2013, consistent with IFRS 10, 11 and 12 and we will consider the implications of these amendments when we adopt those standards.

3.    Segmented Information

We have five reportable segments: Sun Life Financial Canada (“SLF Canada”), Sun Life Financial United States (“SLF U.S.”), MFS Investment Management (“MFS”), Sun Life Financial Asia (“SLF Asia”) and Corporate. These reportable segments operate in the financial services industry and reflect our management structure and internal financial reporting. Corporate includes the results of our U.K. business unit and our Corporate Support operations, which include our run-off reinsurance operations as well as investment income, expenses, capital and other items not allocated to our other business groups. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we transferred McLean Budden Limited to our subsidiary MFS Investment Management. Consequently, the results of McLean Budden Limited are reported as part of MFS instead of SLF Canada and the related goodwill and intangible assets previously reported as part of SLF Canada are now reported as part of Corporate. Prior period information has been restated to reflect this change in organization.

Revenues from our reportable segments are derived principally from life and health insurance, investment management and annuities and mutual funds. Revenues not attributed to the strategic business units are derived primarily from Corporate investments and earnings on capital.

Transactions between segments are executed and priced on an arm’s-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. These transactions consist primarily of internal financing agreements. They are measured at fair values prevailing when the arrangements are negotiated. Inter-segment revenue in the consolidation adjustments columns in the tables below consists of interest income and fee income.

5.    Financial Instrument and Insurance Risk Management

Our risk management policies and procedures for managing risks related to financial instruments and insurance can be found in Notes 6 and 7, respectively, of our 2011 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our financial instrument market risk sensitivities are included in our Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the period ended September 30, 2012. The shaded text and tables in the Risk Management section of the MD&A represent our disclosures on market risk sensitivities in accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and include discussions on how we measure our risk and our objectives, policies and methodologies for managing this risk. Therefore, the shaded text and tables represent an integral part of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

These differences are reported in the line Higher (lower) effective rates on income subject to taxation in foreign jurisdictions.

8.    Capital Management

8.A Capital and Capital Transactions

Our capital base is structured to exceed minimum regulatory and internal capital targets and maintain strong credit and financial strength ratings while maintaining a capital efficient structure. We strive to achieve an optimal capital structure by balancing the use of debt and equity financing. Capital is managed on both a consolidated basis under principles that consider all the risks associated with the business and at the business group level under the principles appropriate to the jurisdiction in which each operates. We manage the capital for all of our international subsidiaries on a local statutory basis in a manner commensurate with their individual risk profiles. Further details on our capital and how it is managed are included in Note 23 of our 2011 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sun Life Assurance is subject to the Minimum Continuing Capital and Surplus Requirements (“MCCSR”) of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada (“OSFI”). Sun Life Assurance’s MCCSR ratio as at September 30, 2012 was above the minimum levels that would require any regulatory or corrective action. The risk-based capital of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), our principal operating subsidiary in the United States, was above the minimum level as at September 30, 2012. In addition, other foreign subsidiaries of SLF Inc. that must comply with local capital or solvency requirements in the jurisdiction in which they operate maintained capital levels above minimum local requirements as at September 30, 2012.

Under OSFI’s IFRS transition guidance, companies could elect to phase in the impact of the conversion to IFRS on adjusted Tier 1 available capital over eight quarters ending in the fourth quarter of 2012. Sun Life Assurance made this election last year and will continue to phase in a reduction of approximately $300 to its adjusted Tier 1 capital over this period, largely related to the recognition of deferred actuarial losses on defined benefit pension plans.

Our capital base consists mainly of common shareholders’ equity, participating policyholders’ equity, preferred shareholders’ equity and certain other capital securities.

8.B.i Subordinated Debt

On June 30, 2012, Sun Life Assurance redeemed all of the outstanding $800 principal amount of 6.15% Subordinated Debentures due June 30, 2022, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Debentures together with accrued and unpaid interest.

On March 2, 2012, SLF Inc. issued $800 principal amount of Series 2012-1 Subordinated Unsecured 4.38% Fixed/Floating debentures due 2022. The proceeds net of issuance costs from the offering were used for general corporate purposes. These debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.38% per annum payable semi-annually to, but excluding March 2, 2017, and from March 2, 2017 until maturity on March 2, 2022, at a variable rate equal to the annual rate of interest applicable to Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances plus 2.70% payable quarterly. Subject to prior approval of OSFI, SLF Inc. may redeem the debentures in whole or in part, on or after March 2, 2017 at a redemption price equal to par, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. The debentures are direct unsecured subordinated obligations of SLF Inc. and rank equally and rateably with all other subordinated unsecured indebtedness of SLF Inc. This subordinated debt qualifies as capital for Canadian regulatory purposes.

8.B.ii Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan

In the first three quarters of 2012, under the dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan (“DRIP”), SLF Inc. issued 8.7 million common shares (6.8 million common shares in 2011) from treasury at discounts of 2% to the average market price, as determined in accordance with the DRIP, for dividend reinvestments and issued an insignificant number of common shares from treasury at no discount for optional cash purchases.

11.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the common shareholders’ net income by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting common shareholders’ net income and the weighted average number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, under the assumption that convertible instruments are converted and that outstanding options are exercised.

Details of the calculation of the net income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares used in the EPS share computations are as follows:

Innovative capital instruments, Sun Life ExchangEable Capital Securities (“SLEECS”), have been issued through Sun Life Capital Trust. Holders of the $950 SLEECS A, which were redeemed on December 31, 2011, and holders of the $200 SLEECS B may exchange, at any time, all or part of their holdings of SLEECS A or SLEECS B at a price for each one thousand dollars principal amount of SLEECS to 40 non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares of Sun Life Assurance. Any non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares issued in respect of an exchange by the holders of SLEECS A or SLEECS B will become convertible, at the option of the holder, into a variable number of common shares of SLF Inc. on distribution dates on or after September 30, 2012 in respect of the SLEECS A and on distribution dates on or after December 31, 2032 in respect of the SLEECS B. For the purposes of diluted EPS, it is assumed that the conversion to SLF Inc. common shares has occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. Common shareholders’ net income is increased by the after-tax interest on the SLEECS A and B, while the weighted average common shares are increased by the number of SLF Inc. common shares that would be issued at conversion. Since the SLEECS A were redeemed on December 31, 2011 they are not included in the diluted EPS calculations for 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the impact of the conversion of innovative capital instruments was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share since the effect of conversion is anti-dilutive.

(2) 

Diluted EPS assumes the exercise of all dilutive stock options of SLF Inc. It is assumed that the proceeds from the exercise of the options were received from the issuance of common shares of SLF Inc. at the average market price of common shares during the period. The difference between the number of shares issued for the exercise of the dilutive options and the number of shares that would have been issued at the average market price of the common shares during the period is adjusted to the weighted average number of shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. The number of stock options that have not been included in the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS because these stock options were anti-dilutive for the periods presented, amounted to 11 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (10 million for the three months and 9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011). For the three months ended September 30, 2011, an adjustment of 1 million common shares related to the dilutive impact of stock options was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their effect is anti-dilutive when a loss is reported.
