Forward-looking statements 
 
 
Certain sections in this document contain 'forward-looking statements' as that 
term is defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 
1995, such as statements that include the words 'expect', 'estimate', 'project', 
'anticipate', 'should', 'intend', 'plan', 'probability', 'risk', 'Value-at-Risk 
(VaR)', 'target', 'goal', 'objective', 'will', 'endeavour', 'outlook', 
'optimistic', 'prospects' and similar expressions or variations on such 
expressions. 
 
 In particular, this document includes forward-looking statements relating, 
but not limited, to the Group's potential exposures to various types of market 
risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and commodity and 
equity price risk. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. For 
example, certain of the market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about 
key model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various 
limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only 
estimates and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ 
materially from those that have been estimated. 
 
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
estimated by the forward-looking statements contained in this document include, 
but are not limited to: RBS obtaining the requisite approvals and agreeing the 
requisite documents to finalise its accession into the APS; the effect of the 
APS and State Aid remedies on RBS's financial and capital position; the 
continuation or further deepening of recessionary conditions; the ability of the 
Group to access sufficient funding to meet its liquidity needs; the developments 
in the current crisis in the global financial markets, and their impact on the 
financial industry in general and the Group in particular; the effect on the 
Group's capital of write downs in respect of credit market exposures and 
impairments; general economic conditions in the UK and in other countries in 
which the Group has significant business activities or investments, including 
the United States; the monetary and interest rate policies of the Bank of 
England, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other G-7 
central banks; inflation; deflation; unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, 
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices; changes in 
UK and foreign laws, regulations and taxes; changes in competition and pricing 
environments; natural and other disasters; the inability to hedge certain risks 
economically; the adequacy of loss reserves; acquisitions or restructurings; 
technological changes; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the value 
and effectiveness of any credit protection purchased by RBS; and the success of 
the Group in managing the risks involved in the foregoing. 
 
 The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of 
the date of this announcement, and the Group does not undertake to update any 
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date 
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 
 
 
The information, statements and opinions contained in this document do not 
constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation or an offer to sell

AMRO with RBS retaining the following ABN AMRO business units: 
- Continuing businesses of Business Unit North America; 
- Business Unit Global Clients and wholesale clients in the Netherlands 
  (including former Dutch wholesale clients) and Latin America (excluding 
Brazil); 
- Business Unit Asia (excluding Saudi Hollandi); and 
- Business Unit Europe (excluding Antonveneta). 
Certain other assets will continue to be shared by the Consortium Members. 
On 3 October 2008, the State of the Netherlands acquired Fortis Bank Nederland 
(Holding) N.V. including Fortis' participation in RFS Holdings that represents 
the acquired activities of ABN AMRO. 
The separation of the main platform shared between RBS and its Dutch state-owned 
partner has been completed and the Group expects that, subject to legal process 
and regulatory approvals, the legal separation of the constituent parts of ABN 
AMRO will be complete in early 2010. From that point RBS will cease to 
consolidate the Dutch state's interest in RBS Group statutory accounts. 
Pro forma results 
Pro forma results have been prepared to include only those business units of ABN 
AMRO that will be retained by RBS. The financial review and divisional 
performance and discussion of risk and capital management in this Interim 
Management Statement focus on the pro forma results. The basis of preparation of 
the pro forma results is detailed on page 63. 
Statutory results 
RFS Holdings is jointly owned by the Consortium Members. It is controlled by RBS 
and is therefore fully consolidated in its statutory financial statements. The 
interests of the State of the Netherlands and Santander in RFS Holdings are 
included in minority interests. 
Restatements 
Divisional results for 2008 have been restated to reflect the Group's new 
organisational structure that includes a Non-Core division comprising individual 
assets, portfolios and lines of business that the Group intends to run off or 
dispose of. The Non-Core division is reported separately from the divisions 
which form the Core Group. In addition, separate reporting of Business Services 
(formerly Group Manufacturing) and Centre results has changed and, with the 
exception of certain items of a one off nature, costs incurred are now allocated 
to the customer-facing divisions and included in the measurement of the returns 
which they generate. The changes do not affect the Group's results. Comparatives 
have been restated accordingly. 
The pro forma and statutory results for 2008 have been restated for the 
amendment to IFRS 2 'Share-based Payment'. This has resulted in an increase in 
staff costs amounting to GBP37 million for the third quarter of 2008 and GBP72 
million for the first nine months of 2008. 
The pro forma and statutory results for 2008 have been restated for the 
finalisation of the ABN AMRO acquisition accounting.

Business and strategic update 
 
 
Strategic plan 
 
 
In August, RBS detailed its plans, first announced in February, for a radical 
restructuring of its businesses to set the Group on a path to sustainability, 
stability and customer focus. Businesses and portfolios that did not meet the 
Group's strategic criteria, including both stressed and non-stressed assets, 
were transferred to the Non-Core division. Within the Core Bank, comprehensive 
changes have been set in motion to improve the business and adapt to the future 
banking climate. The balance sheet and capital framework were also clearly set 
out, anticipating substantially increased regulatory pressures and much greater 
emphasis on liquidity. While updates to the Plan and related targets will be 
published in February, reflecting the new APS agreement and EU remedies, we 
currently expect the Plan's integrity and key aspirations to remain valid. 
 
 
The Group's strategy has been embedded in five-year plans across divisions, and 
the more recent 2010 budgets provide encouraging support for these plans. There 
remain many uncertainties in the economic environment and the Group has made it 
clear that it expects the path to rebuilding standalone strength and shareholder 
value to be multi-year in duration. 
 
 
Some encouraging progress has, nevertheless, been made in the third quarter 
towards some of the Group's intermediate goals: 
 
 
  *  Despite intense competition for retail savings, customer deposits, excluding 
  repos, grew in the quarter, up 2% or GBP8.5 billion compared with 2Q09, with 
  encouraging deposit-gathering performances from all our retail divisions as well 
  as from Global Transaction Services. 
 
 
 
  *  Loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, reduced by 1% compared 
  with 2Q09 and by 15% compared with December 2008, with the bulk of the reduction 
  coming in Global Banking & Markets and Non-Core. 
 
 
 
  *  The Group's loan to deposit ratio improved to 142% at the end of September, an 
  improvement of 220 basis points from the end of June and of 1,010 basis points 
  from the end of December 2008. The Group's 2013 target is to achieve a ratio of 
  approximately 100%. 
 
 
 
  *  Risk-weighted assets, however, increased by 9% in the quarter, mainly due to the 
  fall in credit ratings for monolines, the effect of procyclicality in Basel II 
  models and foreign exchange movements. 
 
 
 
  *  Efforts to improve efficiency have continued to make headway, and the Group is 
  on track for its three year cost saving targets. The Group cost:income ratio 
  year to date improved by 2 percentage points, compared with the same period of 
  2008. 
 
 
 
  *  We issued GBP4.8 billion of unguaranteed term debt during the third quarter, 
  taking the total issued to end September to GBP9.2 billion. In general, the 
  picture on liquidity is rapidly improving, albeit from a poor starting point. 
 
 
 
Return on equity remains negative. The Group's 2013 target is to achieve a 
sustainable return on equity in excess of 15%, powered by market-leading 
franchises in large, customer-driven markets. 
 
Business and strategic update (continued) 
 
 
Non-Core division and disposal programme 
 
 
The Non-Core Division is now fully operational and continues actively to reduce 
risk and manage the run-down and sale options for the GBP190.3 billion of RWAs 
for which it is now responsible. Finalising APS has been the greatest priority 
to date, in the knowledge that market conditions overall will take time to offer 
acceptable value and liquidity. Significant and encouraging market improvements 
are, nevertheless, visible. 
 
 
The disposal of the majority of our Retail & Commercial businesses in Asia, 
along with some of our Global Banking & Markets (GBM) businesses, continues to 
progress well and we remain in advanced stages of negotiations with bidders for 
the remaining markets. Elsewhere, in addition to normal amortisations, improved 
market conditions have enabled us to unwind legacy trades.  The current market 
rally has also significantly reduced monoline and CDPC exposures. 
 
 
Our plan will continue to be affected by external factors such as economic 
conditions, risk appetite and liquidity in the market, as well as foreign 
exchange rates. 
 
 
Risk 
 
 
As part of its strategic review RBS has a clearly stated ambition to achieve a 
standalone AA category risk rating and risk management within the Group is now 
implementing revised risk appetite and controls in order to achieve this 
objective. 
 
 
While economic conditions and outlook have improved since the first half 
results, they remain fragile, with corporate failures and consequent 
unemployment not expected to peak until 2010.  The outlook for impairments has 
improved somewhat and these may now be plateauing at 1H09 levels although we are 
still seeing a modest increase in default rates. Economic conditions in the UK 
and more so Ireland, two key markets for RBS, remain relatively weak.  Our 
impairments and write-downs remain concentrated in the Non-Core division with 
better quality credit metrics in most of our Core divisions. 
 
 
The Group continues to reduce its exposure to country risk and a new country 
risk framework is now well embedded across the Group.  Total cross border 
exposure to countries in the emerging economies has declined since June 2008 by 
over 20% adjusted for currency movements. 
 
 
Single Name Concentrations continue to receive a high level of attention and 
further refinements to the risk management framework will be implemented during 
the fourth quarter.  A programme to improve reporting is now well underway 
increasing transparency of risk exposures and improving the ability of 
management to take mitigating action as part of the process of reducing the risk 
in RBS's balance sheet. 
 
 
Market risk as measured by Value at Risk (VaR) has increased materially, 
primarily reflecting the rise in Non-Core credit spread VaR resulting from the 
increased volatility in the most recent two years' of market data, as well as 
additional hedges against the risk of counterparty failure, which is not itself 
recorded in VaR. 
 
 
 
Business and strategic update (continued) 
 
 
Risk (continued) 
 
 
The potential for increased Operational Risk emanating from the implementation 
of the Strategic Plan is an issue which is being actively managed by each 
division and monitored by the independent risk function. We also have an active 
programme of engagement with the very significant regulatory change agenda 
across prudential requirements, banking capital, bank licensing and supervision. 
The regulatory agenda is all-consuming of itself, with multiple initiatives to 
prepare for and react to significant uncertainties still to wash through for all 
banks. 
 
 
UK Lending Commitments 
In February, as a pre-requisite to its proposed participation in the APS, the 
Group agreed to make available an additional GBP25 billion of lending (GBP9 
billion of mortgage lending and GBP16 billion of business lending) to 
creditworthy customers on commercial terms, and subject to market demand, over 
the ensuing 12 months, and a similar amount over the following year. 
 
 
RBS is unambiguous in its view that these commitments are being met. However, as 
is normal in recessions, our customers are generally seeking to repair their 
balance sheets, not to increase borrowing. As a result, the demand for our 
lending is muted, especially from business customers. By comparison in the 
United States, where economic growth has already resumed, the fall in loan 
demand has been even greater. Increased borrowing is not the route to 
sustainable recovery. 
 
 
Since entering into this commitment RBS has achieved strong results in the 
mortgage market: 
  *  Gross lending year to date totals GBP13.9 billion, including over GBP2.3 billion 
  of lending to first time buyers. Gross lending during the quarter was 23% higher 
  than in 2Q09 and at 30 September 2009, UK mortgage balances totalled GBP88.7 
  billion, 11% higher than at the end of 2008. 
  *  The acceptance rate for mortgage lending, at 90%, remains high.  With net 
  mortgage lending year to date totalling GBP8.6 billion, the Group is on target 
  to surpass the GBP9 billion mortgage lending commitment. 
 
 
 
In business markets, RBS has achieved gross lending of GBP45.5 billion year to 
date. Gross lending during 3Q09 was GBP15.2 billion, 2% lower than 2Q09. After 
taking account of loan repayments and overdraft movements, RBS's business 
lending, including Ulster Bank, at 30 September 2009 totalled GBP154.3 billion, 
a decline of 6% since the end of 2008. 
 
 
  *  In the SME segment, gross lending in the first nine months of 2009 was GBP28.5 
  billion.  Demand remains subdued, with credit applications down 26% by value 
  3Q09 compared with 3Q08. The acceptance rate across all categories of SME credit 
  remains stable at 85%. 
 
 
 
  *  The average interest rate on new lending to SMEs has fallen to 3.4% in the third 
  quarter, compared with 7.0% for 3Q08. In November 2008, we gave a promise not to 
  increase small business customers' overdraft pricing until the end of 2009 
  unless the risks associated with lending to them have increased. As a result, in 
  the third quarter 94% of SME customers had overdrafts renewed at the same margin 
  or lower. 
 
 
 
 
Business and strategic update (continued) 
 
 
UK Lending Commitments (continued) 
 
 
  *  SME repayments have accelerated as many business and commercial customers seek 
  to deleverage (term loan repayments are up 37% in 2009 year to date). 
 
 
 
  *  Overdraft utilisation rates across the SME and mid-corporate segments have 
  remained low at 44%. SME and mid-corporate customers still have access to 
  undrawn committed facilities of more than GBP27 billion. Our SME Committed 
  Overdraft promise ensures that customers' committed facilities remain in place 
  for at least 12 months. 
 
  *  Significant marketing activity to reiterate an 'Open for Business' message and 
  the success of the Regional Funds programme has enabled balances to be held 
  stable year to date. We have also recently launched a new Business Hotline which 
  offers businesses, whether they are customers or not, a second opinion in cases 
  where their lending proposition has been declined. 
 
 
 
  *  Gross new lending to mid- and large corporates totalled GBP5.4 billion in the 
  quarter, 13% lower than the 2Q09 total, and GBP17.0 billion year to date. 
 
 
 
  *  Many larger corporates are actively deleveraging to repair their balance sheets. 
  RBS has been a significant player in facilitating access to the debt and equity 
  markets for its larger clients. RBS has been bookrunner for circa GBP5 billion 
  of the GBP55 billion of bond issuance by UK corporates and has been actively 
  involved in circa GBP25 billion of equity issuance in the year to date. Much of 
  this finance raised has been used to repay bank borrowing. 
 
 
Notwithstanding the Group's willingness to lend to creditworthy customers and 
our clarity that the requisite funds are available, thereby fulfilling our 
commitments, indications remain that it is unlikely that RBS's net business 
lending will increase by the GBP16 billion that we are making available, in the 
light of the subdued demand we currently experience.

Customer Accounts 
 
 
Crucial to the Group's prospects for future success and return to standalone 
health is the resilience of its customer franchises. Except for the activities 
earmarked for restructuring, run-off or exit, RBS has sustained its customer 
market positions during the third quarter, with customer numbers steady or 
growing in all the Group's major businesses. 
 
 
  *  UK Retail added 139,000 current account customers during the third quarter, with 
  current account numbers rising by 3% over the last year to 12.7 million at 30 
  September. Over 1 million savings accounts have been added over the last 12 
  months. 
 
 
 
  *  UK Retail added 25,000 mortgage customers during the third quarter, taking 
  mortgage customer numbers to 826,000, 8% up on 3Q08. 
 
 
 
  *  Ulster Bank has held SME and corporate customer numbers stable over the last 
  year and increased consumer accounts by 4%, compared with 3Q08. 
 
 
 
  *  US Retail's consumer customer base held steady during the quarter at 4.0 
  million. 
 
 
 
  *  RBS Insurance achieved strong growth in own brand policy numbers, both through 
  direct brands and through the bank branch channel. Direct own brand policies 
  were up 11% in motor and 13% in home, compared with 3Q08. Bank channel home 
  policies have risen 13% from 3Q08.

  *  GBM net interest margin declined due to lower money market income, partially 
  offset by higher margins on GBM banking assets. 
 
 
 
  *  UK Retail margin declined in the quarter as increased mortgage margins only 
  partially offset reduced deposit margins and adverse asset mix impacts. UK 
  Corporate margins benefited from improved pricing on new loans, while the US 
  Retail & Commercial margin increased slightly due to improved asset margins. 
 
 
 
  *  For the near-term, margins are expected to be broadly stable as increased 
  funding and liquidity costs offset further asset margin improvements.

Key points 
 
 
3Q09 versus 2Q09 
 
 
  *  Net fees and commissions fell GBP156 million primarily due to declines in GBM 
  (GBP71 million) due to lower credit and equity market activity, UK Retail (GBP18 
  million) driven by payment protection insurance and US Retail & Commercial 
  (GBP50 million) due to lower mortgage activity. 
 
 
 
  *  Income from trading activities rose in 3Q09 principally due to lower credit 
  market losses reflecting improved valuations of super senior CDOs coupled with 
  lower losses on CDS hedges. 
 
 
 
  *  Insurance net premium income was stable principally reflecting the continuation 
  of the good performance in the Group's own brand sales. 
 
 
 
  *  Other operating income improved by GBP523 million primarily due to the movement 
  in fair value of own debt.

Key points 
 
 
3Q09 versus 2Q09 
 
 
  *  Staff costs were up GBP25 million, largely reflecting an increase in resourcing 
  of the Non-Core division balanced by small reductions elsewhere as restructuring 
  programmes start to take effect. 
 
 
 
  *  Premises and equipment costs rose by GBP32 million due to the cost of new 
  completed buildings coming on stream. 
 
 
 
  *  Other expenses rose GBP28 million principally as a result of a one-off recovery 
  of legal fees in 2Q09. 
 
 
 
  *  General insurance claims rose by GBP159 million primarily because of higher 
  estimated costs of bodily injury claims within our motor lines of business. 
 
 
 
  *  Bancassurance claims rose by GBP61 million due to increased returns on 
  investments being passed on to customers.

Key points 
 
 
3Q09 versus 2Q09 
 
 
  *  Impairment losses were GBP3,279 million compared to GBP4,663 million. Impairment 
  losses in the Core divisions increased by GBP66 million sequentially, while 
  Non-Core losses declined by GBP1,450 million. 
 
 
 
  *  In the Core businesses, the biggest increase relates to a sizeable individual 
  loss in GBM. Increases were also seen in Ulster Bank and US Retail & Commercial 
  reflecting the difficult economic environment. Partially offsetting these 
  increases were declines in UK Retail and UK Corporate as credit trends currently 
  appear to be stabilising around 1H09 levels. 
 
 
 
  *  Non-Core losses were lower in the quarter with reduced charges in UK corporate 
  and GBM portfolios, which included a number of large, single name impairments in 
  the second quarter. Ulster Bank's Non-Core impairments have increased materially 
  as its market has continued to deteriorate. 
 
 
 
  *  Impairment losses overall appear to be stabilising compared with the first half 
  of 2009, although they are expected to remain at elevated levels for the next 
  few quarters as non-performing loans have continued to rise, and economic 
  recovery looks to be gradual.

  *  Credit and other market write-downs were substantially lower in the third 
  quarter, down from GBP1,394 million to GBP774 million with the widening in 
  monoline spreads more than offset by reduced losses on CDS hedging and CDPCs.

Key points 
 
 
3Q09 versus 2Q09 
 
 
  *  Integration and restructuring costs totalled GBP324 million in 3Q09 (2Q09 - 
  GBP355 million) with reduced ABN AMRO integration activity offset by increased 
  restructuring activity as strategic plans are implemented. We expect an increase 
  in 4Q09 as our restructuring plans move to a higher degree of implementation. 
 
 
 
  *  In 2Q09 the Group posted a gain of GBP3,790 million on a liability management 
  exercise to redeem a number of Tier 1 and upper Tier 2 securities. In 3Q09 the 
  Group recorded a loss of GBP155 million from Non-Core disposals, primarily 
  relating to our Retail and Commercial Asian businesses.

Key points 
 
 
  *  The RWA increase relative to 2Q09 of GBP47.4 billion is principally due to the 
  effect of procyclicality of GBP33 billion (of which GBP22.2 billion is due to 
  lower credit ratings for Monolines), increase in market risk, GBP6 billion, and 
  the effect of exchange rate movements, GBP9.3 billion. 
 
 
 
  *  The RWA increase relative to 4Q08 of GBP16.9 billion stems primarily from the 
  effect of procyclicality of GBP69 billion (of which GBP22 billion is due to 
  lower credit ratings for Monolines), increase in market risk GBP16 billion 
  offset by reductions due to de-leveraging of GBP47 billion and the effect of 
  exchange rate movements, GBP19 billion. 
 
 
 
  *  Core Tier 1 capital fell by GBP2.2 billion principally reflecting the 
  attributable loss of GBP1.8 billion and increased deductions due to higher 
  expected losses and other regulatory adjustments of GBP0.4 billion. 
 
 
 
  *  As a consequence of the above factors, Core Tier 1 capital ratio fell by 0.9% to 
  5.5%, and Tier 1 capital ratio by 1% to 8%. Pro-forma for B share issuance and 
  APS cover, these ratios would be 11.1% and 14.5%, respectively. 
 
 
 
  *  In 2010, ABN AMRO will move from an adjusted Basel I methodology to Basel II, 
  which is expected to result in an increase in RWAs.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Total assets and funded assets are up 2% and 4% respectively, primarily due to 
  currency movements. On a constant currency basis, total assets were broadly 
  flat. Continuing Non-Core asset reductions of GBP12 billion, at constant 
  currency, were offset by small growth elsewhere. 
 
 
 
  *  The loan:deposit ratio (gross of provisions) has improved by 220 basis points to 
  142.3%, due to deposits, excluding repos, increasing by GBP9 billion and loans, 
  excluding reverse repos, falling by GBP5 billion.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Operating profit of GBP64 million in 3Q09 was up from the previous quarter, with 
  lower income more than offset by reduced costs and impairment charges. 
 
 
 
  *  Our focus in 2009 has been to grow secured lending to meet our Government 
  commitments and at the same time to build customer deposits, reducing the 
  Group's reliance on wholesale funding. 
    *  Mortgage balances were up 5% sequentially or 11% compared with end December 
    2008, with good retention of existing customers and new business sourced 
    predominantly from the existing customer base. Gross mortgage market share 
    increased to 12.0% from 10.5% in 2Q09, and the Group is on track to deliver its 
    commitments to the Government on net lending. Unsecured lending is flat compared 
    with 2Q09 as the Group continued to focus on lower risk secured lending. 
    *  Deposit growth remained strong, with balances up 3% on 2Q09 or 8% compared with 
    end 2008. Savings balances were up 8% on end 2008, outperforming the market 
    despite an increasingly competitive environment, while personal current account 
    balances were up 10% over the same period, with a 2% growth in accounts.

Key points (continued) 
 
 
  *  Net interest margin declined by 22 basis points in 3Q09 but remains stable year 
  to date. 
    *  At the product level lending margins widened further in the quarter, although 
    the growth in mortgages and the reduction in unsecured balances led to a drop in 
    the blended total asset margin. 
    *  Liability margins decreased, as competition on savings accounts increased and as 
    the interest rate hedges established in a higher rate environment began to roll 
    off. 
 
 
 
 
  *  Fee income fell by 5% from the previous quarter, reflecting a provision taken on 
  payment protection insurance and weak activity levels in cards. Year to date, 
  fees are down 15%.  As a result of the change in the structure of overdraft 
  administration charges, an annual reduction in fee income of approximately 
  GBP270 million is anticipated, which will impact results from October 2009. 
 
 
 
  *  Expenses decreased a further 2% over 2Q09, and are now showing a 6% reduction 
  against 3Q08. As the benefits of process re-engineering and technology 
  investment start to flow through, headcount has been reduced by over 3%, with a 
  cumulative reduction of 9% on prior year. Year to date costs are up less than 
  1%, despite higher deposit insurance levies. 
 
 
 
  *  RBS continues to progress towards a more convenient, lower cost operating model, 
  with over 4 million active users of online banking and a record share of new 
  sales achieved through direct channels. More than 2.4 million accounts have 
  switched to paperless statements and over 218 branches now utilise automated 
  cash deposit machines. 
 
 
 
  *  Impairment losses were 14% lower than in 2Q09, which had recorded a sharp rise 
  in provisions to reflect the reduction in expected cash recoveries. We 
  anticipate that the level of impairment charge will resume its upward 
  trajectory, peaking in the middle of 2010. 
    *  Mortgage impairments were GBP26 million on a total book of GBP80.3 billion. 
    Arrears rates show little increase and remain well below the industry average, 
    as reported by the Council of Mortgage Lenders. Repossessions have shown only a 
    small increase in 3Q09 as we continue to support customers facing financial 
    difficulty. 
    *  Unsecured impairment charges amounted to GBP378 million in the quarter, on a 
    book of GBP20.6 billion. Industry benchmarks for cards arrears indicate a 
    flattening trend, with RBS continuing to perform better than the market. 
 
 
 
 
  *  Risk-weighted assets declined by GBP2.4 billion in the quarter as the impacts of 
  volume growth were offset by a reduction in through-the-cycle loss given default 
  for mortgages. RWAs grew by 13% compared with 31 December 2008.

| *  Return on equity is based on divisional operating profit after tax,     |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
 
Key points 
 
 
  *  Net interest margin increased by 21 basis points from the second quarter of 
  2009, as lending rates have been repriced upwards to reflect the Group's 
  increased cost of funding. NIM year to date remains 33 basis points lower than 
  in the prior year, reflecting this increase in funding costs and the highly 
  competitive market for deposits. 
 
 
 
  *  Loans and advances to customers have increased by GBP1.3 billion from 2Q09, but 
  demand for credit remains subdued and repayments have accelerated, leaving 
  balances down 3% from year-end 2008. 
 
 
 
  *  Deposits have grown steadily over the course of 2009 and increased by GBP1.1 
  billion during 3Q09 reflecting a range of initiatives undertaken to defend and 
  grow the deposit base. 
 
 
 
  *  Non-interest income has remained resilient despite a slightly lower level of 
  cross-sales of GBM products in the quarter, benefiting from early repayment fees 
  as customers seek to deleverage.

Key points (continued) 
 
 
  *  Costs reduced slightly in 3Q09, excluding the benefit of a GBP19 million legal 
  fee recovery in the prior quarter. Year to date costs are down 8%, as 
  initiatives within the Group-wide cost reduction programme continue to deliver 
  savings on headcount and non-staff costs. 
 
  *  Impairments were reduced from 2Q09, which included a substantial increase in 
  provisions to reflect deteriorating economic conditions. Year to date 
  impairments remain substantially higher than in the same period of 2008, with 
  the charge biased towards the house building, property and construction sectors. 
 
 
 
  *  Risk-weighted assets increased by 2% compared with 2Q09, partly reflecting 
  additional lending volumes, but also resulting from the effect of deteriorating 
  economic conditions on risk weightings.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Deposits showed modest growth from 2Q09, mainly in the UK, and balances have now 
  returned to the same level as at the end of 3Q08. Continued pressure on deposit 
  margins, including a reduction in internal pricing applied to the Wealth deposit 
  base, resulted in a decline in net interest income. 
  *  Assets under management rose 6% compared with 2Q09 reflecting improved market 
  conditions, but continuing lack of investor appetite to commit to longer term 
  investments and a preference for lower return and more liquid assets has left 
  AUM 9% lower than at the end of 2008, with a resulting impact on fee income. 
  *  Loans and advances increased by 8% compared with the prior quarter, and by 8% 
  against 31 December 2008, with lending margins continuing to improve. Loan 
  growth has come primarily in the UK, where Wealth remains on track to achieve 
  its share of the Group's UK lending commitments. 
 
  *  Expenses in 3Q09 were marginally higher than in 2Q09, which had benefited from 
  changes to remuneration policy, including bonus deferral. 3Q09 expenses were 
  slightly below the prior year quarter, benefiting from a 9% reduction in 
  headcount versus a year ago.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Income fell 20% from the strong second quarter, but year to date income is up 
  80% relative to the same period of 2008. Rates flow business remained very 
  strong, benefiting from good client activity, with income up 29% versus 2Q09 and 
  84% year to date. Currencies income declined, with no repeat of the favourable 
  market conditions of the first half. Commodities and equities were down on 2Q09 
  but remain well ahead of the previous year, with core equities growth driven by 
  a strong equity capital markets performance. 
 
 
 
  *  Credit markets income was down 31% versus the second quarter but remains 
  strongly improved from the comparable period of 2008, with performance 
  benefiting from greater liquidity and a more positive trading environment 
  driving increased activity, particularly in the US liquid mortgage trading 
  business. 
 
 
 
  *  Expenses remain tightly controlled, with total expenses for the quarter up 2% on 
  2Q09 and staff costs flat. Year to date expenses are up 9% on prior year, 
  reflecting the inclusion of Sempra for the full nine months in 2009 and the 
  impact of adverse exchange rate movements, partly offset by restructuring and 
  efficiency benefits. 
 
 
Global Banking & Markets (continued) 
 
 
Key points (continued) 
 
 
  *  Impairments of GBP272 million for the quarter included a large individual 
  failure. Year to date impairments were GBP510 million, representing 0.48% of 
  loans and advances to customers compared with 0.02% in the prior year. 
 
 
 
  *  Losses of GBP320 million were incurred in the third quarter on the fair value of 
  own debt, as the Group's credit spreads tightened further. In 3Q08 widening 
  spreads led to a gain being booked. 
 
 
 
  *  Total third party assets excluding derivatives (TPAs) were up 1% at constant 
  exchange rates from 2Q09, with most of the growth in cash and liquid bills. 
  Compared with 31 December 2008 TPAs have been reduced by 8%, as asset 
  inventories have been run down. Risk-weighted assets increased by 8% during the 
  quarter, or 5% at constant exchange rates, reflecting the roll-off of relief 
  trades. RWAs at 30 September 2009 are 19% down from 31 December 2008, or 16% at 
  constant exchange rates, reflecting the Group's focus on reducing its risk 
  profile and balance sheet usage.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Operating profit was resilient overall, declining by 5% or 2% at constant 
  foreign exchange rates compared with 2Q09, as a result of modest impairments, 
  offset by slightly improved income and costs. 
 
 
 
  *  Income increased 2% in the quarter at constant foreign exchange rates. Liability 
  margins remained compressed in the low interest rate environment and there was a 
  reduction in trade finance volumes and pricing. 
 
 
 
  *  Cash Management performance for the nine months to 30 September 2009 was robust, 
  with deposits up 9% during the quarter supported by additional mandates from new 
  and existing clients, offset by liability margin compression, although balances 
  remained below year-end 2008 levels. 
 
 
  *  Global Merchant Services saw improving transaction volumes and turnover, offset 
  by reduced margins resulting in part from the continued customer migration from 
  credit to debit cards. 
 
 
 
  *  There was a reduction in Trade Finance volumes in 3Q09 and some softening of 
  previous repricing to account for risk; however, income was up 11% year to date 
  at constant foreign exchange rates. 
 
 
 
  *  Expenses were tightly controlled and down 1% on 2Q09 at constant foreign 
  exchange rates, with modest movements in transaction-related and indirect costs, 
  and were flat year to date. 
 
 
 
  *  Modest impairment losses arose as a result of a small number of defaults in 
  Trade Finance and Cash Management.  Overall impairments year to date remain 
  small, at 0.3% of loans and advances.

| *  Return on equity is based on divisional operating profit after tax,     | 
| divided by divisional notional equity (based on 7% of divisional           |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
 
Key points 
 
 
  *  Deteriorating operating results largely reflect increased impairment losses and 
  funding costs, against the backdrop of difficult economic conditions across the 
  island of Ireland. 
 
 
 
  *  Net interest margin was 29 basis points lower in the quarter and 8 basis points 
  lower year to date. The benefits of asset repricing initiatives have been offset 
  by the increased cost of acquiring and retaining customer deposits. Year to 
  date, net interest income declined by 12% in constant currency terms. 
 
 
 
  *  At constant exchange rates, loans to customers declined by 2% compared with 2Q09 
  and by 4% compared with December 2008, reflecting a reduction in new business 
  demand, partially offset by lower redemption levels. Customer deposits rose by 
  5% in the quarter on a constant currency basis, reflecting the continued focus 
  on improving the Bank's funding profile, with balances 11% lower than December 
  2008, on the same basis, due to strong competition from institutions covered by 
  the Irish Government guarantee scheme. 
 
 
 
  *  Year to date, non-interest income has fallen by 28% from the prior year at 
  constant currency rates, driven by reduced activity levels across all business 
  lines, most notably in Bancassurance and Capital Markets. 
 
 
 
Ulster Bank (continued) 
 
 
Key points (continued) 
 
 
  *  Ulster Bank continues to implement its restructuring programme, resulting in a 
  4% decrease in costs in constant currency terms compared with 2Q09, and this 
  trend is expected to continue into 2010. The programme will encompass the merger 
  of the First Active and Ulster Bank businesses and other cost management 
  initiatives across the group.  Total costs year to date are down 2% versus prior 
  year on a constant currency basis. 
 
 
 
  *  Impairment charges increased to GBP144 million for the quarter, driven by the 
  continued deterioration in the Irish economic environment and resultant impact 
  on credit risk metrics, particularly in property-related lending. Year to date 
  impairment charges of GBP301 million are significantly higher than the prior 
  year. 
 
 
 
  *  Customer account numbers increased by 3% compared with 3Q08, with growth fuelled 
  by strong current account activity and new-to-bank savings customers.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Sterling has weakened over the course of the quarter, and the average exchange 
  rate in 3Q09 reflects a 6% appreciation of the dollar. As a result, weak income 
  and profit trends have been exacerbated in sterling terms. 
 
 
 
  *  Variances are fully described in the US dollar based financials that follow.

| *  Return on equity is based on divisional operating profit after tax,     | 
| divided by divisional notional equity (based on 7% of divisional           |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
 
 
Key points 
 
 
  *  Deteriorating operating loss in the quarter reflects continuing pressure on 
  income lines and further rises in impairments, partially offset by reduced 
  expenses. 
 
 
 
  *  Net interest margin improved by 5 basis points compared with 2Q09, with wider 
  lending margins as a result of strategic repricing, particularly on auto and 
  home equity loans, as well as changes to deposit pricing and mix. However, net 
  interest margin for the year to date is 34 basis points lower than in the same 
  period of 2008, reflecting the decline in deposit margins in the low interest 
  rate environment. 
 
 
 
  *  Fee income has fallen as mortgage banking fee income dropped 30%, compared with 
  2Q09, reflecting a decline in refinancing applications from the record levels 
  seen in the prior period. 
 
 
 
  *  Consumer loans and advances were 4% lower compared with 2Q09, primarily driven 
  by a decision to reduce activity in the student loan market. Compared with 3Q08, 
  consumer lending is down 14%, with increased prepayments and sales of 
  residential mortgages and reduced demand for auto loans. Commercial lending is 
  down 3% compared with 2Q09 and 6% against 3Q08, reflecting a lack of credit 
  demand.

Key points (continued) 
 
 
  *  Customer deposits have been maintained in the third quarter. Compared with 3Q08 
  overall deposit balances are flat, but the mix has altered, with non-interest 
  bearing deposits up 14% and wholesale deposits reduced by $7 billion, or 90%. 
  The loan to deposit ratio has improved further to 82.6%. 
 
 
 
  *  Increased impairments reflect challenging conditions in the home equity, 
  residential mortgage and commercial real estate portfolios. Charge-offs remain 
  in line with 2Q09, representing 0.75% of loans and advances, but were 22 basis 
  points higher than in 3Q08. The provision balance increased by $134 million in 
  3Q09.

Key points 
  *  Income grew by 3% compared with 2Q09, driven by the success of the Group's own 
  brands, with the partnerships and broker segment remaining flat. Churchill and 
  Privilege have benefited from deployment on selected price comparison websites, 
  with motor policy numbers up 25% and 13% respectively, and home policies up 33% 
  and 186% respectively, compared with 3Q08. Year to date own brand premium income 
  is up 10% against the prior year. 
  *  Investment income declined 10% in the quarter and is 41% lower year to date, 
  reflecting lower interest rates earned on the division's conservatively invested 
  portfolio. 
  *  Expenses fell by 5% in the quarter, mainly reflecting the phasing of marketing 
  activity and a reduction in industry levies. Year to date, costs were held flat 
  at GBP569 million, with wage inflation offset by efficiency reductions in 
  headcount and reduced marketing spend. 
  *  Net claims were significantly higher than expected in the quarter, with an 
  increase of 22% compared with 2Q09. This was largely due to greater claims being 
  made against our drivers for bodily injury accidents, resulting in the need to 
  strengthen both current and prior years' claims reserves by a total of GBP118 
  million above that projected for the quarter. Significant action has now been 
  taken to mitigate this impact including motor price increases and refining our 
  claims handling processes. Year to date net claims were up 8%, with the 
  additional impact of increases in creditor claims and home claims from cold 
  weather in 1Q09. 
  *  The UK combined operating ratio, including statutory business services costs was 
  104.2%, compared with 91.3% in the second quarter, with the impact of the 
  increase in reserves for bodily injury claims only partially mitigated by 
  commission and expense ratio improvement. The year to date combined ratio rose 
  to 98.3%.

Key points 
 
 
  *  Funding and operating costs have been allocated to operating divisions, based on 
  direct service usage, requirement for market funding and other appropriate 
  drivers where services span more than one division. 
 
 
 
  *  Residual unallocated items relate to volatile corporate items that do not 
  naturally reside within a division. 
 
 
 
  *  Items not allocated in the quarter amounted to a net credit of GBP120 million 
  and comprised an increase in the carrying value of own debt partially offset by 
  a net credit on a number of other volatile items, including the impact of 
  economic hedges that do not qualify for IFRS hedge accounting.

Non-Core (continued) 
 
 
Key points 
 
 
  *  Credit and other market write-downs were substantially lower in the third 
  quarter, down from GBP1,390 million to GBP735 million with the widening in 
  monoline spreads more than offset by reduced losses on hedges and credit 
  derivative product companies and a rally in asset-backed securities. 
 
 
 
  *  Impairment losses were GBP1,450 million lower than in 2Q09, with reduced charges 
  in UK Corporate and GBM portfolios, which included a number of large, single 
  name impairments in the second quarter. Ulster Bank's impairments have increased 
  materially as the market has continued to deteriorate. 
 
 
 
  *  Third party assets (including MTM derivatives) were down 5% compared with 2Q09, 
  and have declined by 32% compared with December 2008, as assets have been 
  run-off and written down. Risk-weighted assets, however, increased by 16% during 
  the third quarter to GBP190.3 billion and are 19% higher than at end 2008, as 
  continued deterioration in the corporate economic environment has pushed the 
  impact of procyclicality higher, particularly in real estate and leverage 
  finance portfolios and due to downgrades on monolines. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Allocation methodology for indirect costs 
 
 
Business Services directly attributable costs have been allocated to the 
operating divisions, based on their service usage. Where services span more than 
one division an appropriate measure is used to allocate the costs on a basis 
which management considers reasonable.  Business Services costs are fully 
allocated and there are no residual unallocated costs. 
 
 
Group Centre directly attributable costs have been allocated to the operating 
divisions, based on their service usage. Where services span more than one 
division, the costs are allocated on a basis management considers reasonable. 
The residual unallocated costs remaining in the Group centre relate to volatile 
corporate items that do not naturally reside within a division. 
 
 
Treasury costs are allocated to operating divisions as follows: term funding 
costs are allocated or rewarded based on long term funding gap or surplus; 
liquidity buffer funding costs are allocated based on share of overall liquidity 
buffer derived from divisional stresses; and capital cost or benefit is 
allocated based on share of divisional risk-adjusted RWAs.
