Commentary on condensed consolidated balance sheet - pro forma 
 
 
Total assets of GBP1,680.3 billion at 30 September 2009 were up GBP35.9 billion, 
2%, compared with 30 June 2009, primarily due to exchange rate movements 
following the weakening of sterling since June. 
 
 
Loans and advances to banks increased by GBP13.8 billion, 16%, to GBP97.5 
billion reflecting higher reverse repurchase agreements and stock borrowing 
("reverse repos"), up by GBP2.1 billion, 6% to GBP37.2 billion, and growth in 
bank placings, up by GBP11.7 billion, 24%, to GBP60.3 billion as a result of 
increased wholesale lending. 
 
 
Loans and advances to customers were down GBP9.3 billion, 1%, at GBP631.5 
billion. Within this, reverse repos decreased by 8%, GBP4.0 billion to GBP43.5 
billion. Excluding reverse repos, customer lending declined by GBP5.3 billion, 
1% to GBP588.0 billion or GBP3.9 billion, 1% before impairment provisions.  This 
reflected reductions in Global Banking & Markets of GBP11.0 billion, Non-Core, 
GBP9.5 billion, US Retail & Commercial, GBP2.2 billion, and Ulster Bank, GBP0.8 
billion, partially offset by growth in Retail, GBP3.8 billion, UK Corporate & 
Commercial, GBP1.3 billion, Wealth, GBP1.0 billion, and GTS, GBP0.7 billion, 
together with the effect of exchange rate movements, GBP12.5 billion. 
 
 
Debt securities were up GBP22.2 billion, 10%, to GBP251.3 billion and equity 
shares rose by GBP2.6 billion, 18%, to GBP16.8 billion, principally due to 
increased holdings in Global Banking & Markets and Group Treasury, in part 
reflecting a GBP6.0 billion growth in the gilt liquidity portfolio. 
 
 
Settlement balances rose by GBP5.4 billion, 23% to GBP28.6 billion as a result 
of increased customer activity. 
 
 
Deposits by banks declined by GBP1.3 billion, 1% to GBP178.4 billion. This 
reflected decreased repurchase agreements and stock lending ("repos"), down 
GBP4.3 billion, 10% to GBP39.8 billion partially offset by increased inter-bank 
deposits, up GBP3.0 billion, 2%, to GBP138.6 billion. 
 
 
Customer accounts were up GBP3.0 billion, 1% to GBP493.2 billion. Within this, 
repos declined GBP5.6 billion, 7% to GBP69.5 billion. Excluding repos, deposits 
increased by GBP8.5 billion, 2%, to GBP423.8 billion, with reductions in Global 
Banking & Markets, down GBP9.0 billion, more than offset by growth across all 
other divisions, up GBP11.1 billion, and the effect of exchange rate movements, 
GBP6.4 billion. 
 
 
Debt securities in issue increased GBP17.5 billion, 7%, to GBP266.2 billion 
mainly as a result of growth in Global Banking & Markets and Group Treasury, 
partly to fund the growth in the gilt liquidity portfolio, together with the 
effect of movements in exchange rates. 
 
 
Settlement balances and short positions were up GBP11.6 billion, 19%, to GBP71.9 
billion reflecting increased customer activity. 
 
 
Subordinated liabilities rose by GBP1.0 billion, 3%, to GBP33.1 billion, with 
the redemption of GBP0.9 billion undated loan capital more than offset by the 
effect of exchange rate movements and other adjustments, GBP1.9 billion. 
 
 
Owners' equity increased by GBP1.0 billion, 2% to GBP56.7 billion. Reductions in 
available-for-sale reserve losses of GBP2.1 billion, net of tax, and exchange 
rate movements of GBP0.6 billion were offset in part by the GBP1.5 billion 
attributable loss for the period and the payment of other owners dividends of 
GBP0.2 billion.

| The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset at 30 September 2009 of GBP7,667         | 
| million (30 June 2009 - GBP7,573 million; 31 December 2008 - GBP5,786 million), of     | 
| which GBP6,032 million (30 June 2009 - GBP5,639 million; 31 December 2008 -            | 
| GBP4,706 million) relates to carried forward trading losses in the UK. Under the       | 
| HM Revenue & Customs rules, these UK losses can be carried forward indefinitely to     | 
| be utilised against profits arising in the future. The Group has considered the        | 
| carrying value of this asset as at 30 September and concluded that it is               | 
| recoverable based on the base case future profit projection.                           |

| (1) | Valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical      | 
|     | financial instruments. This category includes listed equity shares,        | 
|     | certain exchange-traded derivatives, G10 government securities and         | 
|     | certain US agency securities.                                              | 
+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| (2) | Valued using techniques based significantly on observable market data.     | 
|     | Instruments in this category are valued using:                             | 
+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|     | (a) | quoted prices for identical instruments in markets which are not     | 
|     |     | considered to be active or quoted prices for similar instruments     | 
|     |     | trading in active or not so active markets; or                       | 
+-----+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|     | (b) | valuation techniques where all the inputs that have a significant    | 
|     |     | effect on the valuation are directly or indirectly based on          | 
|     |     | observable market data.                                              | 
+-----+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
|     | Instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active,    | 
|     | but for which valuations are based on quoted market prices, broker         | 
|     | dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels   | 
|     | of price transparency and instruments valued using techniques include:     | 
|     | most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds,       | 
|     | certain mortgage products, certain bank and bridge loans, repos and        | 
|     | reverse repos, less liquid listed equities, state and municipal            | 
|     | obligations, most physical commodities, investment contracts issued by     | 
|     | the Group's life assurance businesses and certain money market             | 
|     | securities and loan commitments and most OTC derivatives.                  |

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| (3) | Valued using a technique where at least one input (which could have a   | 
|     | significant effect on the instrument's valuation) is not based on       | 
|     | observable market data. Where inputs can be observed from market data   | 
|     | without undue cost and effort, the observed input is used. Otherwise,   | 
|     | the Group determines a reasonable level for the input.                  | 
|     | Financial instruments included within level 3 of the fair value         | 
|     | hierarchy primarily include cash instruments which trade infrequently,  | 
|     | certain syndicated and commercial mortgage loans, unlisted equity       | 
|     | shares, certain residual interests in securitisations, super senior     | 
|     | tranches of high grade and mezzanine collateralised debt obligations    | 
|     | (CDOs), other mortgage-based products and less liquid debt securities,  | 
|     | certain structured debt securities in issue, and OTC derivatives where  | 
|     | valuation depends upon unobservable inputs such as certain credit and   | 
|     | exotic derivatives. No gain or loss is recognised on the initial        | 
|     | recognition of a financial instrument valued using a technique          | 
|     | incorporating significant unobservable data.                            | 
+-----+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| When valuing financial liabilities recorded at fair value, the Group takes | 
| into account the effect of its own credit standing. The categories of      | 
| financial liabilities on which own credit spread adjustments are made are  | 
| issued debt, including issued structured notes, and derivatives. An own    | 
| credit adjustment is applied to positions where it is believed that        | 
| counterparties would consider the Group's creditworthiness when pricing    | 
| trades.                                                                    | 
| For issued debt and structured notes, this adjustment is based on          | 
| independent quotes from market participants for the debt issuance spreads  | 
| above average inter-bank rates (at a range of tenors) which the market     | 
| would demand when purchasing new senior or sub-debt issuances from the     | 
| Group. Where necessary, these quotes are interpolated using a curve shape  | 
| derived from CDS prices.                                                   | 
| The fair value of the Group's derivative financial liabilities has also    | 
| been adjusted to reflect the Group's own credit risk. The adjustment takes | 
| into account collateral posted by the Group and the effects of master      | 
| netting agreements.                                                        |

| categories into the loans and receivables category and from the            |

| and receivables category in the first nine months of 2009. The effect of   | 
| the reclassifications and the balance sheet values of the assets were as   |

| During the quarter ended 30 September 2009, the balance sheet value of                         | 
| reclassified assets reduced by GBP1.7 billion. This was primarily due to                       | 
| disposals and repayments of GBP3.4 billion across a range of asset backed                      | 
| securities and loans, including disposals through restructures of GBP2.5 billion               | 
| on real estate and leverage financed positions. Other movements include foreign                | 
| exchange rate movements of GBP1.0 billion and gains taken to AFS reserve of                    | 
| GBP0.6  billion.                                                                               | 
| For assets reclassified from held-for-trading to available-for-sale, net                       | 
| unrealised losses recorded in equity at 30 September 2009 were GBP1.3 billion (30              | 
| June 2009 - GBP1.9 billion).                                                                   |

| (1) | Of the total above at 30 September, GBP23.6 billion (30 June 2009 -     | 
|     | GBP30.5 billion) of assets and GBP20.2 billion (30 June 2009 - GBP27.9  |

The Group enters into master netting agreements in respect of its derivative 
activities. These arrangements give the Group a legal right to set-off 
derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. They do not result 
in a net presentation in the Group's balance sheet for which IFRS requires an 
intention to settle net or to realise the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously, as well as a legally enforceable right to set off. They are, 
however, effective in reducing the Group's credit exposure from derivative 
assets. The Group has executed master netting agreements with the majority of 
its derivative counterparties resulting in a significant reduction in its net 
exposure to derivative assets. Of the GBP552 billion (30 June 2009 - GBP556 
billion) derivatives assets shown above, GBP459 billion (30 June 2009 - GBP461 
billion) were under such agreements. Furthermore, the Group holds substantial 
collateral against this net derivative asset exposure.

Risk and capital management (continued) 
 
 
Credit risk 
The key elements of the Group's credit risk management framework are detailed in 
the Group's 2008 Annual Report and Accounts. 
Key developments in the year to date are: 
  *  The introduction of a new credit approval framework for wholesale credit, 
  replacing credit committees with individual delegated authorities and requiring 
  at least two individuals to approve each credit decision, one from the business 
  and one from risk management.  Both individuals must hold sufficient delegated 
  authority. The level of authority is dependent on their experience and 
  expertise, with only a small number of senior executives holding the highest 
  authority granted under the framework. 
  *  Further refinement and embedding of the frameworks to manage the various 
  dimensions of concentration risk: country, sector and single name. 
 
Credit risk assets 
Credit risk assets consist of loans and advances (including overdraft 
facilities), instalment credit, finance lease receivables and other traded 
instruments across all customer types.  Reverse repurchase agreements and 
issuer risk are excluded.

Key points: 
  *  Credit risk assets increased by GBP14 billion, 2% in the third quarter but on a 
  constant currency basis, credit risk assets fell slightly. 
  *  Part of the growth in UK Corporate and decrease in Global Banking & Markets 
  reflects migration of portfolios between these divisions.

Global developments in 2009 
Following a difficult first quarter, most indicators of stresses in financial 
markets are close to or better than before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 
September 2008. Liquidity conditions in money and debt markets have improved 
significantly since the beginning of Q2 2009. Contributing to the improvement 
has been a combination of ongoing central bank and other official liquidity 
support schemes, guarantee schemes and rate cuts. Signs of improvement in 
underlying macroeconomic trends also helped to sustain a recovery in debt 
markets. 
Important developments in central bank liquidity programmes since February 
include: 
  *  In the UK, the Bank of England reduced interest rates to 0.5% in March, and 
  later the same month the Bank of England initiated 'quantitative easing' through 
  its Asset Purchase Facility. Gilt purchases dominate activity to date, while 
  direct purchases of commercial paper and corporate bonds have been relatively 
  small. 
  *  In the US, the Federal Reserve has maintained its target for the funds rate at 
  0-0.25% while supplementing its credit-easing programmes with a new Term 
  Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) although initial take up of the 
  TALF has been slow. 
  *  In the Euro Area, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided in early May to hold 
  three 1-year repo operations against its general collateral list. The first of 
  these was received enthusiastically in June, resulting in significant supply of 
  ECB liquidity to the banking system and bringing downward pressure on short term 
  rates. 
 
 
 
Following the economic and financial crisis, regulators across the world have 
continued to review their respective liquidity regulation. In particular the FSA 
published its new policy statement (PS09/16) at the beginning of October 2009. 
The new regulation will be phased in over a number of years with the first 
element covering systems and controls, effective 1 December 2009 and new 
reporting requirements being introduced during 2010. In addition the 
requirements for liquidity buffers will be introduced over a number of years 
recognising the position of the economic cycle and the potential for increased 
liquidity buffers, above the "back-stop" levels to impact the availability of 
credit. The Group has a program in place to address the new FSA requirements, 
with the Group to continue building its liquidity reserves together with 
reducing the customer funding gap. 
 
 
Liquidity Policy 
The policy of the Group is to ensure that it is able to meet its obligations as 
they fall due. 
The Group has an approved risk appetite supported by explicit targets and 
metrics to control the size and extent of both short-term and long-term 
liquidity risk. The Group Asset and Liability Committee (GALCO), chaired by the 
Group Finance Director, has the responsibility to set Group policy and ensure 
that it is cascaded and communicated to the business divisions. Group Treasury 
is the functional area with responsibility for monitoring and control of the 
Group's funding and liquidity positions. 
Group Treasury is supported by a governance process that includes a Liquidity 
Risk forum comprising functional areas across the organisation that are 
responsible for liquidity management, including monitoring through divisional 
and regional asset and liability committees.

Liquidity management 
The Group's liquidity reserves at 30 September 2009 were GBP140 billion, up 
GBP19 billion compared to June 2009. The Group has increased the term of its 
wholesale funding to improve its liquidity position. The size of medium term 
note issuance increased from GBP104,190 million in June 2009 to GBP112,091 
million in September 2009. The overall amount of wholesale funding has increased 
from GBP416,417 million to GBP437,882 million at September 2009. The Group has 
actively sought to manage its liquidity position through improving the 
short-term duration of wholesale funding, supplemented by long-term issuance, 
government guaranteed debt, and a program of ensuring our assets are eligible as 
collateral using central bank liquidity schemes. 
 
 
Structural balance sheet management 
Structural balance sheet management focuses principally on ensuring the gap 
between customer loans and customer deposits is maintained at a reasonable level 
to reduce the need for wholesale funding, and more importantly short-term 
wholesale funding. Through pro-actively focussing on customer deposit growth and 
de-leveraging initiatives, the Group aims to improve the structural balance 
sheet. 
A key structural balance sheet measure for the Group is the Loans to deposits 
ratio (gross), and this has improved from 145% to 142% at September 2009. The 
gap between customer loans and customer deposits (excluding repos) improved by 
GBP14 billion from GBP178.0 billion as at 30 June 2009 to GBP164 billion as at 
30 September 2009. The Group is continuing to develop diversified sources of 
funding across its retail, corporate and wholesale franchises in line with the 
strategy to rely more on retail and other customer funds to support its lending 
business. 
Additional measures to improve the structural balance sheet have focused on 
reducing the size of the multi seller conduits business, down by GBP4.5 billion 
to GBP30.5 billion at 30 September 2009, which relies upon funding assets 
through the issuance of short term asset back commercial paper. 
Stress testing 
The Group uses stress tests as a tool to evaluate the impact of disrupted market 
conditions and specific events, to measure the impact both on and off balance 
sheet. The stress tests show the degree of resilience in times of stress and the 
ability for contingency actions to mitigate stressed conditions. The assumptions 
and nature of the risks driving the stress tests are refined and updated in 
light of changing conditions. 
Contingency planning 
Contingency plans developed to anticipate the potential for deterioration in 
market conditions and ensure that the Group can respond to adverse developments. 
The contingency plan considers actions including the use of liquid assets, 
reduction in lending commitments, and the use of collateral and management of 
derivative exposures.

Funding profile 
In line with stated targets, the Group will seek to improve its liquidity 
position by attracting appropriate mix of customer deposits and wholesale 
funding;

The mix of funding has remained relatively unchanged from June 2009 to September 
2009. Increases in customer deposits of GBP8,502 million and wholesale funding 
of GBP21,465 million resulted in a slightly larger proportion of wholesale 
funding of 50.8% compared to 50.1% for June 2009. The Group manages actively the 
funding profile through targeting of structural funding measures such as loans 
to deposits gaps and also through its liquidity management. 
 
 
Deposits by banks 
The short term debt markets have improved markedly over the course of 2009 and 
the Group has been able to readily access this source of funding with improved 
maturities and reduced costs of spread. This easing of market conditions has 
enabled the Group to significantly reduce reliance on central bank facilities.

Debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities 
The proportion of outstanding debt instruments issued, with a remaining maturity 
of greater than 12 months, has decreased from 46.8% at 30 June 2009 to 45.7% at 
30 September 2009. The outstanding amount with a maturity greater than 12 months 
has increased from GBP131,551 million at June 2009 to GBP136,871 million at 30 
September reflecting the increased term funding issuances over the period.

Customer deposits 
An important source of funding for the Group is customer deposits that are 
diversified across the retail, wealth and small and medium enterprise customer 
base. The Group maintains customer depositor taking activities across the 
geographies in which it operates to maintain access to this stable source of 
core funding. The level of customer deposits increased over the period from 
GBP415,267 million at 30 June 2009 to GBP423,769 million at 30 September 2009. 
Repo agreements 
As at 30 September 2009 the Group had GBP69.5 billion of customer secured 
funding and GBP39.8 billion of bank secured funding which includes borrowing 
using central bank funding schemes. With markets continuing to stabilise through 
the course of 2009, the Group has reduced its reliance on secured funding from 
central bank liquidity schemes significantly. 
Undrawn commitments 
The Group saw an increase in undrawn commitments from GBP297 billion at 30 June 
2009 to GBP305 billion at 30 September 2009 as a result of a combination of 
foreign exchange movements and new business. 
Conduits 
The Group has a multi-seller conduit business that funds assets through the 
issuance of short term asset backed commercial paper. The total of assets held 
in Group sponsored conduits fell from GBP35.0 billion at 30 June 2009 to GBP30.5 
billion at 30 September 2009 as the Group reduced its exposure to this business 
in line with strategy. This reduced the liquidity risk to the Group through the 
commitments provided for this type of business. 
 
Risk and capital management (continued) 
 
 
Market risk 
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, foreign currency, credit 
spread, equity prices and risk related factors such as market volatilities.  The 
Group manages market risk centrally within its trading and treasury portfolios 
through a comprehensive market risk management framework.  This framework 
contains limits based on, but not limited to: value-at-risk (VaR), scenario 
analysis, position and sensitivity analyses. 
The VaR disclosure is analysed between trading and non-trading where trading VaR 
relates to the main trading activities of the Group and non-trading reflects the 
VaR associated with reclassified assets, money market business and the 
management of internal funds flow within the Group's businesses.

Key points: 
  *  Trading VaR includes hedges taken against the risk of counterparty failures. The 
  standalone VaR for these positions was GBP26.4 million at 30 September 2009 (30 
  June 2009 - GBP29.9 million). 
  *  Average interest rate VaR decreased in Q3 due to a reduction in positions in the 
  flow rates business. 
  *  Credit spread period end VaR reduced significantly in Q3 due to positions 
  relating to credit derivative product companies being capitalised under Pillar 
  II approach from end of August 2009 and hence excluded from the VaR measure from 
  this date.

The data in the tables above exclude exposures to super senior tranches of 
asset-backed CDOs, as VaR does not provide an appropriate measure of risk for 
these exposures due to the continued illiquidity and opaqueness of pricing these 
instruments. 
The Group's VaR should be interpreted in light of the limitations of the 
methodologies used, as follows: 
  *  Historical Simulation VaR may not provide the best estimate of future market 
  movements as it can only provide a prediction of the future based on events that 
  occurred in the two year time series. Therefore, events more severe than those 
  in the historical data series cannot be predicted. 
  *  VaR that uses a 99% confidence level does not reflect the extent of potential 
  losses beyond that percentile. 
  *  VaR uses a one-day time horizon which will not fully capture the profit and loss 
  implications of positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged within one day. 
  *  The Group computes the VaR of trading portfolios at the close of business 
  however, positions may change substantially during the course of the trading day 
  and intraday profit and losses will be incurred. 
 
 
 
These limitations mean that the Group cannot guarantee that losses will not 
exceed the VaR. 
 
 
Key points: 
  *  Non-Core VaR decreased in Q3 due to a reduction in asset-backed security 
  exposures. 
  *  Core VaR increased in Q3 reflecting downgrades in residential mortgage-backed 
  positions and the effect of counterparties exercising put options on credit 
  sensitive bonds.

The Group's credit market activities gave rise to risk concentrations in 
asset-backed securities that have been particularly affected by the market 
turmoil experienced in the second half of 2007 and in 2008. 
The table below summarises the net exposures and balance sheet carrying values 
of these securities by the product and geography of the underlying assets, at 30 
September 2009 and 30 June 2009.

Key points: 
  *  Total asset-backed securities, both net exposure and carrying value, at 30 
  September 2009 were at similar levels to the half year due to a combination of 
  foreign exchange effects and tightening credit spreads, offset by redemptions.

Key points (continued) 
  *  US securities declined in value. US agency trading portfolio decreased by GBP3.5 
  billion reflecting balance sheet reduction. CDO carrying values reduced by a net 
  GBP1 billion as a result of some positions being classified as derivatives 
  following change in valuation from macro level pricing to disaggregated 
  collateral net asset values. This net decrease however included an increase in 
  super senior positions reflecting higher prices of underlying collateral, with 
  average prices increasing from 16% at 30 June 2009 to 21% at 30 September 2009. 
  *  European securities increased by GBP1.6 billion, primarily on Dutch government 
  backed issues due to foreign currency effects and improved pricing. 
  *  Security backed by assets originated in other countries increased by GBP1.2 
  billion mainly due to tightening of credit spreads and foreign exchange effects.

The Group purchased protection from monoline insurers ("monolines") mainly 
against specific ABS, CDOs and CLOs.  Monolines are entities which specialise in 
providing credit protection against the notional and interest cash flows due to 
the holders of debt instruments in the event of default by the debt security 
counterparty.  This protection is typically held in the form of derivatives such 
as credit default swaps (CDSs), referencing the underlying exposures held by the 
Group. 
The Group also purchased credit protection, both tranched and single name credit 
derivatives, from credit derivative product companies (CDPCs). CDPCs are similar 
to monolines however they are not regulated as insurers.  The Group's exposure 
to CDPCs is predominantly due to tranched credit derivatives ("tranches"). A 
tranche references a portfolio of assets and provides protection against total 
portfolio default losses exceeding a certain percentage of the portfolio 
notional (the attachment point) up to another percentage (the detachment point). 
The CVA for monolines is calculated on a trade-by-trade basis, and is derived 
using market observable monoline credit spreads. The majority of the monoline 
CVAs relate to credit derivative hedging exposures to ABSs.  The CDPC CVA is 
calculated using a similar approach. However, in the absence of market 
observable credit spreads, the cost of hedging the counterparty risk is 
estimated by analysing the underlying trades and the cost of hedging expected 
default losses in excess of the capital available in each vehicle. 
The CVA for all other counterparties is calculated by reference to observable 
credit spreads. The calculation is performed on a portfolio basis reflecting an 
estimate of the amount a third party would charge to assume the risk. 
Key points: 
  *  Monolines: CVA reduced in Q3 2009 due to an increase in the fair value of 
  underlying assets. 
  *  CDPCs: CVA declined primarily due to the effect of higher prices of underlying 
  assets. 
  *  CVA relating to other counterparties increased as additional reserves were taken 
  against specific counterparties following downgrades.

The net income statement effect arising from the change in level of monoline CVA 
and related trades is shown below. The reduction in CVA is primarily due to the 
impact of price increases on underlying assets which reduced the CDS protection 
against the monolines. These price increases also contributed to a reduction in 
value of the CDS hedging reclassified debt securities accounted for on an 
amortised cost basis. Spread tightening on CMBX indices contributed to the 
losses on the hedges offset.

Risk and capital management (continued) 
 
 
Market turmoil exposures (continued) 
Monoline insurers (continued) 
The Group also has indirect exposure to monolines through wrapped securities and 
other assets with credit enhancement monolines. These securities are traded with 
the benefit of this credit enhancement. Any deterioration in the credit rating 
of the monoline is reflected in the fair value of these assets. 
Credit derivative product companies 
The Group's exposure to CDPCs has reduced considerably due to a combination of 
tighter credit spreads and a decrease in the relative value of senior tranches 
compared to the underlying reference portfolios. 
 
 
The overall level of CVA has decreased in line with the reduction in the 
exposure, however, on a relative basis the CVA has increased. This reflects the 
perceived deterioration of the credit quality of the CDPCs as reflected by 
ratings downgrades. 
 
 
The Group's exposure to CDPC is analysed in the table below:

The net income statement effect arising from the change in level of CVA and 
related trades is shown in the table below.  The Group has additional market 
risk hedges in place which effectively cap the exposure to CDPCs where the Group 
has significant risk.  As the exposure to these CDPCs has reduced, losses have 
been incurred on the additional hedges.  These losses, together with losses 
arising on trades hedging CVA, are the primary cause of the loss arising on 
hedges, foreign exchange and other movements.

During Q3 the Group's sterling exposure has increased largely as a result of the 
strengthening of US dollar and Euro against sterling, partly offset by a number 
of impairments and write-offs. 
 
 
Special purpose entities 
For background on the Group's involvement with securitisations and special 
purpose entities (SPEs), refer to Business Review - SPEs and conduits in the 
Annual Report and Accounts 2008. 
 
 
Securitisations 
The table below details the carrying amount by asset category of the assets and 
associated liabilities for those securitisations and other asset transfers, 
other than conduits, where the assets continue to be recorded on the Group's 
balance sheet.

* revised 
 
 
The increase in residential mortgage and other loan assets in the third quarter 
primarily relate to balances that have been securitised to facilitate access to 
central bank special liquidity schemes.  As all the notes issued by the SPEs are 
purchased by Group companies, securitised assets are significantly greater than 
secured liabilities.

Market turmoil exposures (continued) 
Conduits 
The exposure from conduits which are consolidated, including those to which the 
Group is economically exposed on a shared basis with other consortium members 
and its involvement with third-party conduits, is set out below. 
The Group's multi-seller conduits have continued to fund the vast majority of 
their assets through ABCP issuance. The relative stability experienced in the 
first half has continued in Q3 2009 with increased demand from ABCP investors. 
The average maturity of ABCP issued by the Group's conduits was 52.2 days at 30 
September 2009, relatively consistent with 55.2 days at 30 June 2009.

Commentary on condensed consolidated balance sheet 
 
 
Total assets of GBP1,861.2 billion at 30 September 2009 were up GBP42.2 billion, 
2%, compared with 30 June 2009, primarily due to exchange rate movements 
following the weakening of sterling since June. 
Loans and advances to banks increased by GBP10.6 billion, 11%, to GBP106.0 
billion with reverse repurchase agreements and stock borrowing ('reverse repos') 
up by GBP2.1 billion, 6% to GBP37.2 billion and growth in bank placings, up 
GBP8.5 billion, 14%, to GBP68.9 billion as a result of increased wholesale 
lending. 
Loans and advances to customers were down GBP0.5 billion at GBP769.2 billion. 
Within this, reverse repos decreased by 9%, GBP4.0 billion to GBP43.4 billion. 
Excluding reverse repos, lending increased by GBP3.5 billion to GBP725.8 billion 
or by GBP5.1 billion, 1%, before impairment provisions.  This reflected 
reductions in Global Banking & Markets of GBP11.0 billion, Non-Core, GBP9.5 
billion, US Retail & Commercial, GBP2.2 billion, and Ulster Bank, GBP0.8 
billion, partially offset by growth in UK Retail, GBP3.8 billion, UK Corporate & 
Commercial, GBP1.3 billion, Wealth, GBP1.0 billion, and Global Transaction 
Services, GBP0.7 billion, together with the effect of exchange rate movements, 
GBP22.0 billion. 
Debt securities increased by GBP26.3 billion, 11%, to GBP270.4 billion and 
equity shares increased by GBP3.0 billion, 17%, to GBP20.6 billion, principally 
due to increased holdings in Global Banking & Markets, Group Treasury, in part 
reflecting a GBP6.0 billion growth in the gilt liquidity portfolio, and the RFS 
minority interest. 
Settlement balances were up GBP5.4 billion, 23%, at GBP28.6 billion as a result 
of increased customer activity. 
Deposits by banks declined by GBP4.6 billion, 3%, to GBP166.4 billion, largely 
due to a decrease in repurchase agreements and stock lending ('repos'), down 
GBP4.3 billion, 10%, to GBP39.8 billion. 
Customer accounts were up GBP9.9 billion, 2%, to GBP625.6 billion. Within this, 
repos decreased GBP5.5 billion, 7%, to GBP69.5 billion.  Excluding repos, 
deposits increased by GBP15.4 billion, 3%, to GBP556.1 billion, with reductions 
in Global Banking & Markets, down GBP9.0 billion and the RFS minority interest, 
down GBP2.2 billion, more than offset by growth across all other divisions, up 
GBP11.1 billion, and the effect of exchange rate movements, GBP15.4 billion. 
Debt securities in issue increased GBP18.2 billion, 7% to GBP292.4 billion 
mainly as a result of growth in Global Banking & Markets and Group Treasury, 
partly to fund the growth in the gilt liquidity portfolio, together with the 
effect of movements in exchange rates. 
Settlement balances and short positions were up GBP11.7 billion, 19%, to GBP72.0 
billion reflecting increased customer activity. 
Subordinated liabilities rose by GBP2.0 billion, 5%, to GBP37.7 billion, due to 
the issue of GBP0.7 billion undated loan capital and the effect of exchange rate 
movements and other adjustments, GBP2.2 billion, partially offset by the 
redemption of GBP0.9 billion undated loan capital. 
Owners' equity increased by GBP1.0 billion, 2% to GBP56.7 billion. Reductions in 
available-for-sale reserve losses of GBP2.1 billion, net of tax, and exchange 
rate movements of GBP0.6 billion were offset in part by the GBP1.5 billion 
attributable loss for the period and the payment of other owners' dividends of 
GBP0.2 billion.

|    | The IMS for the nine months ended 30 September 2009 has been prepared  | 
|    | on a going concern basis. The directors have reviewed the Group's      | 
|    | forecasts, projections and other relevant evidence including the       | 
|    | ongoing measures from governments and central banks in the UK and      | 
|    | around the world to sustain the banking sector. Whilst the Group has   | 
|    | received no guarantees, the directors have a reasonable expectation,   | 
|    | based on experience to date, of continued and sufficient access to     | 
|    | funding and capital and, accordingly, that the Group will continue in  | 
|    | operational existence for the foreseeable future.                      |

|    | In common with other banks in the United Kingdom, RBS and NatWest have | 
|    | received claims and complaints from a large number of customers        | 
|    | challenging unarranged overdraft charges (the 'Charges') as            | 
|    | contravening the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999   | 
|    | (the 'Regulations') or being unenforceable penalties (or both).        | 
|    | On 27 July 2007, the OFT issued proceedings in a test case against the | 
|    | banks which was intended to determine certain preliminary issues       | 
|    | concerning the legal status and enforceability of contractual terms    | 
|    | relating to the Charges. Because of the test case, most existing and   | 
|    | new claims in the County Courts are currently stayed, the FSA          | 
|    | temporarily waived the customer complaints-handling process and there  | 
|    | is a standstill of Financial Ombudsman Service decisions.              | 
|    | A High Court judgment in April 2008 addressed preliminary issues in    | 
|    | respect of the banks' contractual terms relating to the Charges in     | 
|    | force in early 2008 (the 'Current Terms'). The judgment held that the  | 
|    | Current Terms used by RBS and NatWest (i) are not unenforceable as     | 
|    | penalties, but (ii) are not exempt from assessment for fairness under  | 
|    | the Regulations.                                                       | 
|    | RBSG (in common with the other banks) has accepted that the ruling in  | 
|    | the April judgment that the Current Terms are not exempt from          | 
|    | assessment for fairness applies also to a sample of the RBS and        | 
|    | NatWest contractual terms relating to the Charges in force between     | 
|    | 2001 and 2007 (the 'Historic Terms'). The High Court made an order to  | 
|    | this effect in October 2008.                                           | 
|    | RBSG and the other banks have appealed against the rulings in April    | 
|    | 2008 and October 2008 that the Current Terms and Historic Terms are    | 
|    | not exempt from assessment for fairness under the Regulations. The     | 
|    | hearing of the appeal in relation to Current Terms took place before   | 
|    | the Court of Appeal in October and November 2008. The Court of Appeal  | 
|    | delivered its judgment on 26 February 2009 and rejected the appeals.   | 
|    | The House of Lords granted RBSG and the other banks leave to appeal    | 
|    | the Court of Appeal's decision. That further appeal took place on 23   | 
|    | June 2009. The House of Lords' (now the Supreme Court) judgment is     | 
|    | likely to be delivered later in 2009.  The appeal in relation to the   | 
|    | Historic Terms is stayed pending the resolution of the appeal in       | 
|    | relation to the Current Terms.                                         |

|    | United Kingdom (continued)                                             | 
|    | High Court judgments on further preliminary issues were handed down in | 
|    | October 2008 and January 2009. These judgments primarily addressed the | 
|    | question of whether certain Historic Terms were capable of being       | 
|    | unenforceable penalties. The Judge decided that all of RBS's and most  | 
|    | of NatWest's Historic Terms were not penalties, but that a term        | 
|    | contained in a set of NatWest 2001 terms and conditions was a          | 
|    | contractual prohibition against using a card to obtain an unarranged   | 
|    | overdraft. The Judge did not decide whether any charge payable upon a  | 
|    | breach of this prohibition was a penalty. RBSG has not appealed that   | 
|    | decision.                                                              | 
|    | The issues relating to the legal status and enforceability of the      | 
|    | Charges are complex. RBSG maintains that its Charges are fair and      | 
|    | enforceable and believes that it has a number of substantive and       | 
|    | credible defences. RBSG cannot at this stage predict with any          | 
|    | certainty the final outcome of the customer claims and complaints, the | 
|    | appeals referred to above and any further stages of the test case. It  | 
|    | is unable reliably to estimate the liability, if any, that may arise   | 
|    | as a result of or in connection with these matters or its effect on    | 
|    | the Group's consolidated net assets, operating results or cash flows   | 
|    | in any particular period.                                              | 
|    | United States                                                          | 
|    | Proceedings, including consolidated class actions on behalf of former  | 
|    | Enron securities holders, have been brought in the United States       | 
|    | against a large number of defendants, including the Group, following   | 
|    | the collapse of Enron. The claims against the Group could be           | 
|    | significant; the class plaintiff's position is that each defendant is  | 
|    | responsible for an entire aggregate damage amount less settlements -   | 
|    | they have not quantified claimed damages against the Group in          | 
|    | particular. The Group considers that it has substantial and credible   | 
|    | legal and factual defences to these claims and will continue to defend | 
|    | them vigorously. Recent decisions by the US Supreme Court and the US   | 
|    | Federal Court for the Fifth Circuit provide further support for the    | 
|    | Group's position. In light of these developments the Group does not    | 
|    | expect that these claims will have a material impact on its            | 
|    | consolidated net assets, operating results or cash flows in any        | 
|    | particular period.                                                     | 
|    | RBS Group companies have been named as defendants in a number of       | 
|    | purported class action and other lawsuits in the United States that    | 
|    | relate to the sub-prime mortgage business. In general, the cases       | 
|    | involve the issuance of sub-prime-related securities or the issuance   | 
|    | of shares in companies with sub-prime-related exposure, where the      | 
|    | plaintiffs have brought actions against the issuers and underwriters   | 
|    | (including RBS Group companies) of such securities claiming that       | 
|    | certain disclosures made in connection with the relevant offerings of  | 
|    | such securities were false or misleading. The Group considers that it  | 
|    | has substantial and credible legal and factual defences to these       | 
|    | claims and will continue to defend them vigorously. The Group does not | 
|    | currently expect that these lawsuits, individually or in the           | 
|    | aggregate, will have a material impact on its consolidated net assets, | 
|    | operating results or cash flows in any particular period.              | 
|    |                                                                        |

|    | RBS Group and a number of its subsidiaries and certain individual      | 
|    | officers and directors have been named as defendants in a class action | 
|    | filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of | 
|    | New York. The consolidated amended complaint alleges certain false and | 
|    | misleading statements and omissions in public filings and other        | 
|    | communications during the period 1 March 2007 to 19 January 2009, and  | 
|    | variously asserts claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the           | 
|    | Securities Act 1933, Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act | 
|    | 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5. The putative class is composed of (1) all     | 
|    | persons who purchased or otherwise acquired RBS Group securities       | 
|    | between 1 March 2007 and 19 January 2009; and/or (2) all persons who   | 
|    | purchased or otherwise acquired RBS Series Q, R, S, T and/or U         | 
|    | Non-cumulative Dollar Preference Shares issued pursuant or traceable   | 
|    | to the 8 April 2005 Registration Statement and were damaged thereby.   | 
|    | Plaintiffs seek unquantified damages on behalf of the putative class.  | 
|    | The Group considers that it has substantial and credible legal and     | 
|    | factual defences to these claims and will defend them vigorously. The  | 
|    | Group is unable reliably to estimate the liability, if any, that might | 
|    | arise or its effect on the Group's consolidated net assets, operating  | 
|    | results or cash flows in any particular period.                        | 
|    | Summary of other disputes, legal proceedings and litigation            | 
|    | Members of the Group are engaged in other litigation in the United     | 
|    | Kingdom and a number of overseas jurisdictions, including the United   | 
|    | States, involving claims by and against them arising in the ordinary   | 
|    | course of business. The Group has reviewed these other actual,         | 
|    | threatened and known potential claims and proceedings and, after       | 
|    | consulting with its legal advisers, does not expect that the outcome   | 
|    | of these other claims and proceedings will have a material adverse     | 
|    | effect on its consolidated net assets, operating results or cash flows | 
|    | in any particular period.                                              |

|    | The Group's businesses and financial condition can be affected by the  | 
|    | fiscal or other policies and other actions of various governmental and | 
|    | regulatory authorities in the UK, the European Union, the United       | 
|    | States and elsewhere. The Group has engaged, and will continue to      | 
|    | engage, in discussions with relevant regulators, including in the UK   | 
|    | and the United States, on an ongoing and regular basis informing them  | 
|    | of operational, systems and control evaluations and issues as deemed   | 
|    | appropriate or required, and it is possible that any matters discussed | 
|    | or identified may result in investigatory actions by the regulators,   | 
|    | increased costs being incurred by the Group, remediation of systems    | 
|    | and controls, public or private censure or fines. Any of these events  | 
|    | or circumstances could have a material adverse impact on the Group,    | 
|    | its business, reputation, results of operations or the price of        | 
|    | securities issued by it.                                               | 
|    | There is continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the operation | 
|    | of the retail banking and consumer credit industries in the UK and     | 
|    | elsewhere. The nature and impact of future changes in policies and     | 
|    | regulatory action are not predictable and are beyond the Group's       |

|    | European Union                                                         | 
|    | In the European Union, regulatory actions included an inquiry into     | 
|    | retail banking in all of the then 25 member states by the European     | 
|    | Commission's Directorate General for Competition. The inquiry examined | 
|    | retail banking in Europe generally. On 31 January 2007, the European   | 
|    | Commission announced that barriers to competition in certain areas of  | 
|    | retail banking, payment cards and payment systems in the European      | 
|    | Union had been identified. The European Commission indicated that it   | 
|    | will consider using its powers to address these barriers and will      | 
|    | encourage national competition authorities to enforce European and     | 
|    | national competition laws where appropriate.                           | 
|    | In 2007, the European Commission issued a decision that while          | 
|    | interchange is not illegal per se, MasterCard's current multilateral   | 
|    | interchange fee ("MIF") arrangement for cross-border payment card      | 
|    | transactions with MasterCard and Maestro branded consumer credit and   | 
|    | debit cards in the European Union are in breach of competition law.    | 
|    | MasterCard was required by the decision to withdraw the relevant cross | 
|    | border MIFs by 21 June 2008. MasterCard appealed against the decision  | 
|    | to the European Court of First Instance on 1 March 2008, and the Group | 
|    | has intervened in the appeal proceedings. In April 2009 MasterCard     | 
|    | agreed a level of cross-border MIF with the European Commission and as | 
|    | a result the European Commission has advised it will no longer         | 
|    | investigate this issue (although MasterCard is continuing with its     | 
|    | appeal). Visa's MIFs were exempted in 2002 by the European Commission  | 
|    | for a period of five years up to 31 December 2007 subject to certain   | 
|    | conditions. On 26 March 2008, the European Commission opened a formal  | 
|    | inquiry into Visa's current MIF arrangements for cross-border payment  | 
|    | card transactions with Visa branded debit and consumer credit cards in | 
|    | the European Union and on 6 April 2009 the European Commission         | 
|    | announced that it had issued Visa with a formal Statement of           | 
|    | Objections. There is no deadline for the closure of the inquiry.       | 
|    | United Kingdom                                                         | 
|    | In the UK, in September 2005, the OFT received a super-complaint from  | 
|    | the Citizens Advice Bureau relating to payment protection insurance    | 
|    | ("PPI"). As a result, the OFT commenced a market study on PPI in April | 
|    | 2006. In October 2006, the OFT announced the outcome of the market     | 
|    | study and, on 7 February 2007, following a period of consultation, the | 
|    | OFT referred the PPI market to the Competition Commission ("CC") for   | 
|    | an in-depth inquiry. The CC published its final report on 29 January   | 
|    | 2009. It found a lack of competition in the PPI market as a result of  | 
|    | various factors, including a lack of transparency and barriers to      | 
|    | entry for standalone providers. The CC therefore announced its         | 
|    | intention to impose by order a range of remedies, including a          | 
|    | prohibition on actively selling PPI at point of sale of the credit     | 
|    | product (and for 7 days thereafter), a ban on single premium policies  | 
|    | and other measures to increase transparency (in order to improve       | 
|    | customers' ability to search and improve price competition). Barclays  | 
|    | subsequently appealed certain CC findings to the Competition Appeal    | 
|    | Tribunal (the "CAT"). On 16 October 2009, the CAT handed down          | 
|    | judgment, quashing the ban on selling PPI at the point of sale of      | 
|    | credit products and remitted the matter back to the CC for review.     | 
|    |                                                                        |

|    | The FSA has been conducting a broad industry thematic review of PPI    | 
|    | sales practices and in September 2008 announced that it intends to     | 
|    | escalate its level of regulatory intervention. Substantial numbers of  | 
|    | customer complaints alleging the mis-selling of PPI policies have been | 
|    | made to banks and to the FOS and many of these are being upheld by the | 
|    | FOS against the banks.                                                 | 
|    | In September 2009, the FSA issued a consultation paper on guidance on  | 
|    | the fair assessment of PPI mis-selling complaints and, where           | 
|    | necessary, the provision of an appropriate level of redress. The       | 
|    | consultation also covers rules requiring firms to re-assess (against   | 
|    | the new guidance) all PPI mis-selling complaints received and rejected | 
|    | since 14 January 2005. A policy statement containing final guidance    | 
|    | and rules is expected by the end of December 2009, for implementation  | 
|    | in January 2010. The consultation currently indicates that the FSA     | 
|    | will be requiring firms to have completed their review of past         | 
|    | complaints within 12 months of the date the new rules are implemented. | 
|    | Separately, discussions continue between the FSA and RBS in respect of | 
|    | concerns expressed by the FSA over certain categories of historic PPI  | 
|    | sales.                                                                 | 
|    | The OFT has carried out investigations into Visa and MasterCard        | 
|    | domestic credit card interchange rates. The decision by the OFT in the | 
|    | MasterCard interchange case was set aside by the Competition Appeals   | 
|    | Tribunal in June 2006. The OFT's investigations in the Visa            | 
|    | interchange case and a second MasterCard interchange case are ongoing. | 
|    | The outcome is not known, but these investigations may have an impact  | 
|    | on the consumer credit industry in general and, therefore, on the      | 
|    | Group's business in this sector. On 9 February 2007, the OFT announced | 
|    | that it was expanding its investigation into domestic interchange      | 
|    | rates to include debit cards.                                          | 
|    | On 29 March 2007, the OFT announced that, following an initial review  | 
|    | into bank current account charges, it had decided to conduct a market  | 
|    | study into personal current accounts in the UK and a formal            | 
|    | investigation into the fairness of bank current account charges.       | 
|    | On 16 July 2008, the OFT published the results of its market study     | 
|    | into personal current accounts in the UK. The OFT found evidence of    | 
|    | competition and several positive features in the personal current      | 
|    | account market but believes that the market as a whole is not working  | 
|    | well for consumers and that the ability of the market to function well | 
|    | has become distorted. The OFT then began a process of consultation     | 
|    | with the banking industry, consumer groups and interested parties on   | 
|    | its report.                                                            | 
|    | On 7 October 2009, the OFT published a report summarising the          | 
|    | initiatives agreed between the OFT and personal current account        | 
|    | providers to address the OFT's concerns about transparency and         | 
|    | switching, following its market study. Personal current account        | 
|    | providers will take a number of steps to improve transparency,         | 
|    | including providing customers with an annual summary of the cost of    | 
|    | their account and making charges prominent on monthly statements. To   | 
|    | improve the switching process, a number of steps are being introduced  | 
|    | following work with Bacs, the payment processor, including measures to | 
|    | reduce the impact on consumers of any problems with transferring       | 
|    | direct debits.                                                         | 
|    |                                                                        |

|    | The OFT's investigation into the fairness of bank current account      | 
|    | charges is ongoing. On 12 August 2008, the OFT indicated to the Group  | 
|    | and other banks that, although it had not concluded its investigation  | 
|    | and had reached no final view, it had serious concerns that            | 
|    | contractual terms relating to the Charges in personal current account  | 
|    | agreements were unfair under the Regulations. The OFT is currently     | 
|    | consulting with the Group and other banks on this issue. The OFT has   | 
|    | advised it will make further comments on the complexity of unarranged  | 
|    | overdrafts after the judgment from the Supreme Court regarding the     | 
|    | test case, referred to in Note 3 above, has been handed down.          | 
|    | Given the stage of the investigation, the Group cannot reliably        | 
|    | estimate the impact of any adverse outcome of the OFT's market study   | 
|    | or investigation upon it, if any. However, the Group is co-operating   | 
|    | fully with the OFT to achieve resolution of the matters under          | 
|    | investigation.                                                         | 
|    | On 26 January 2007, the FSA issued a Statement of Good Practice        | 
|    | relating to Mortgage Exit Administration Fees. On 1 March 2007, the    | 
|    | Group adopted a policy of charging all customers the fee applicable at | 
|    | the time the customers took out the mortgage or, if later, varied      | 
|    | their mortgage. RBS believes that it is currently in compliance with   | 
|    | the Statement of Good Practice and will continue to monitor its        | 
|    | performance against those standards.                                   | 
|    | In April 2009 the FSA notified the Group that it was commencing a      | 
|    | supervisory review of the acquisition of ABN AMRO in 2007 and the 2008 | 
|    | capital raisings and an investigation into conduct, systems and        | 
|    | controls within the Global Banking & Markets division of the Group.    | 
|    | The Group and its subsidiaries are cooperating fully with the review   | 
|    | and investigation.                                                     | 
|    | United States                                                          | 
|    | In connection with a previously disclosed investigation of ABN AMRO's  | 
|    | New York Branch by US regulatory authorities, ABN AMRO and members of  | 
|    | ABN AMRO's management continue to provide information to law           | 
|    | enforcement authorities relating to ABN AMRO's dollar clearing         | 
|    | activities, United States Department of Treasury compliance procedures | 
|    | and other Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 compliance matters. Although no     | 
|    | written agreement has yet been reached and negotiations are ongoing,   | 
|    | ABN AMRO has reached an agreement in principle with the United States  | 
|    | Department of Justice that would resolve all presently known aspects   | 
|    | of the ongoing investigation. Under the terms of the agreement in      | 
|    | principle, ABN AMRO and the United States would enter into a deferred  | 
|    | prosecution agreement in which ABN AMRO would waive indictment and     | 
|    | agree to the filing of information in the United States District Court | 
|    | charging it with certain violations of federal law based on            | 
|    | information disclosed in an agreed factual statement. ABN AMRO would   | 
|    | also agree to continue co-operating in the United States' ongoing      | 
|    | investigation and to settle all known civil and criminal claims        | 
|    | currently held by the United States for the sum of $500 million. The   | 
|    | precise terms of the deferred prosecution agreement are still under    | 
|    | negotiation.                                                           |

|    | United States (continued)                                              | 
|    | The New York State Attorney General has issued subpoenas to a wide     | 
|    | array of participants in the sub-prime mortgage industry, focusing on  | 
|    | the information underwriters obtained as part of the due diligence     | 
|    | process from the independent due diligence firms. RBS Securities Inc.  | 
|    | has produced documents requested by the New York State Attorney        | 
|    | General principally related to sub-prime loans that were pooled into   | 
|    | one securitisation transaction and will continue to cooperate with the | 
|    | investigation. More recently, the Massachusetts Attorney General has   | 
|    | issued a subpoena to RBS Securities Inc. seeking information related   | 
|    | to residential mortgage lending practices and sales and securitisation | 
|    | of residential mortgage loans. The investigation is in its very early  | 
|    | stages and therefore it is difficult to predict the potential exposure | 
|    | from such an investigation. At this time RBS Securities Inc. is fully  | 
|    | cooperating with the request.                                          | 
|    | In addition to the above, certain of the Group's subsidiaries have     | 
|    | received requests for information from various United States           | 
|    | governmental agencies, self-regulatory organisations and state         | 
|    | governmental agencies, including in connection with sub-prime          | 
|    | mortgages and securitisations, collateralised debt obligations and     | 
|    | synthetic products related to sub-prime mortgages. In particular,      | 
|    | during March 2008, the Group was advised by the Securities and         | 
|    | Exchange Commission that it had commenced a non-public, formal         | 
|    | investigation relating to the Group's United States sub-prime          | 
|    | securities exposures and United States residential mortgage exposures. | 
|    | RBS and its subsidiaries are co-operating with these various requests  | 
|    | for information and investigations.                                    |

| 5.  | Goodwill                                                               |

|     | The Group's goodwill acquired in business combinations is reviewed     | 
|     | annually as at 30 September for impairment by comparing the            | 
|     | recoverable amount of each cash generating unit to which goodwill has  | 
|     | been allocated with its carrying value.                                | 
|     | Impairment reviews have been undertaken in respect of all RBS          | 
|     | businesses as at 30 September 2009 and no further impairment of        | 
|     | goodwill has been identified.                                          | 
|     | Due to complexities relating to legal separation of the other          | 
|     | consortium members' interests in ABN AMRO, the detailed impairment     | 
|     | review of goodwill attaching to the minority interest in ABN AMRO has  | 
|     | not yet been completed. A preliminary review indicates that goodwill   | 
|     | relating to the State of Netherlands minority interest is not          | 
|     | impaired; the detailed impairment review will be completed prior to    | 
|     | the Group's financial year end.                                        |
