based on the non-market and service vesting conditions.  The impact of the
revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to the
equity based compensation reserve.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued) 
 
 2.  Accounting policies (continued)  
 
 
Equity 
 
Equity based compensation reserve 
 
The Group's equity based compensation reserve records the value of equity-settled share based payment benefits provided to
the Group's employees as part of their remuneration that has been charged through the income statement adjusted for
deferred tax. 
 
In comparative periods the equity based compensation reserve represented the outstanding fair value amount in respect of
share based payment expense recharged by the Group's former ultimate parent, NAB, which had been charged through the income
statement and adjusted for deferred tax. 
 
At the date of the demerger, current and former employees of the Group held awards granted in previous periods for which
vesting is subject to continuing employment, and in some instances specified performance criteria being met.  Following the
demerger, existing unvested awards remain in place.  NAB will settle the awards granted to Group employees in previous
periods in accordance with the original terms of the grant.  The Group will compensate NAB for the cost of the awards
provided to the Group's employee.  Subsequent to the demerger, the amounts payable to NAB in respect of such awards no
longer meet the definition of equity based payments under IFRS 2: Share based payment.  Consequently, amounts within the
equity based compensation reserve relating to outstanding NAB awards were reclassified to due to other banks in the
consolidated balance sheet immediately following the demerger. 
 
Cash flow hedge reserve 
 
The cash flow hedge reserve records the effective portion of the fair value revaluation of derivatives designated as cash
flow hedging instruments. 
 
Other equity instruments 
 
Other equity instruments represent AT1 notes.  These are perpetual capital notes with no fixed maturity or redemption date
and are classified as equity instruments.  Distributions on the AT1 notes are deducted from equity on the payment date net
of any tax relief.  The Company has sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or in
part) any distribution that would otherwise be payable on any interest payment date. 
 
Combination of businesses under common control 
 
Business combinations involving entities under common control, where all combining entities are ultimately controlled by
the same entity before and after the business combination, are accounted for using the predecessor values method of
accounting.  This involves recognising assets and liabilities of the acquired business at the predecessors' book value,
without any change to reflect fair value of those assets and liabilities.  Any difference between the cost of acquisition
and the aggregate book value of the assets and liabilities as of the date of the transfer of the acquired entity is
recorded as an adjustment to equity.  No additional goodwill is created by the business combination. 
 
Post-acquisition, income received and expenses incurred by the entity or entities acquired are included in the consolidated
income statement on a line by line basis in accordance with the accounting policies set out herein. 
 
A non-controlling interest is recognised by the Group in respect of any portion of the total assets less total liabilities
of an acquired entity or entities that is not owned by the Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued) 
 
 3.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements  
 
 
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosed amount of contingent
liabilities.  Assumptions made at each balance sheet date are based on best estimates at that date.  Although the Group has
internal control systems in place to ensure that estimates can be reliably measured, actual amounts may differ from those
estimates.  The most significant use of judgements and estimates are as follows: 
 
Fair value of financial instruments 
 
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the balance sheet cannot be derived from
active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. 
The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data is not
available, judgement is required to establish fair values.  The judgements include considerations of liquidity and model
inputs. 
 
The most significant judgement is in relation to the Group's fair value loan portfolio.  The most significant input
impacting the carrying value of the loans other than interest rates is the future expectation of credit losses. 
Sensitivity analysis indicating the impact of reasonably possible changes in this input on the fair value is included
within note 37. 
 
The valuation of these financial instruments is described in more detail in note 14. 
 
Impairment losses on loans and advances 
 
The Group reviews its individually significant loans and advances at each balance sheet date to assess whether an
impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement.  In particular,  judgement is required in the estimation of the
amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss.  In estimating these cash flows, the Group
makes judgements about the borrower's financial situation and the net realisable value of collateral.  These estimates are
based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the impairment
allowance. 
 
Loans and advances that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all not individually significant
loans and advances are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to determine
whether provision should be made due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects are
not yet evident.  The collective assessment takes account of data from the loan portfolio (such as credit quality, levels
of arrears, credit utilisation, loan to collateral ratios etc.), concentrations of risk and economic data (including levels
of unemployment and real estate price indices).  If the PDs were to improve from those presently used within the Group's
provisioning models by 5% the impairment provision on loans and advances would decrease by £5m.  Alternatively, if PDs
deteriorate by 5%, the impairment provision on loans and advances would increase by £5m.  To the extent that recovery rates
improve from those presently used within each of the Group's provisioning models by 5%, the impairment provision on loans
and advances would decrease by £12m.  Alternatively, if recovery rates deteriorate by 5%, the impairment provision on loans
and advances would increase by £22m.  There are interactions between the various assumptions within the provisioning
models, which mean that no single factor is likely to move independent of others; however, the sensitivities disclosed
above assume all other assumptions remain unchanged. 
 
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail in note 17 and in the Risk Report section of the
Annual Report and Accounts.

 3.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)  
 
 
PPI redress provision and other conduct related matters 
 
Disclosures in relation to the Group's PPI redress provision can be found in note 27 with the Group holding a provision of
£725m at 30 September 2016 (2015: £774m).  Significant judgement is required in determining the key assumptions used to
estimate the quantum of the provision, including the level of complaint volume, (both historic and estimated future
complaint volumes),  uphold rates (how many claims are, or may be, upheld in the customer's favour) and redress costs (the
average payment made to customers).  Also factored into the estimate is the effect of the past business review and the
judgements required around customer mailing response rates.  The provision is therefore subject to inherent uncertainties
as a result of the subjective nature of the assumptions used in quantifying the overall estimated position at 30 September
2016.  Consequently, the provision calculated may be subject to change in future years as a result of the emergence of new
trends in relation to the judgements and assumptions which differ to those currently used.  Sensitivity analysis indicating
the impact of reasonably possible changes in key assumptions on the PPI provision is included within note 27. 
 
There are similar uncertainties and judgements for other conduct risk related matters, including the Group's IRHP
provision, disclosed in note 27, however, the level of liability is materially lower. 
 
Retirement benefit obligations 
 
The cost of the defined benefit pension plan is determined using an actuarial valuation.  The actuarial valuation involves
making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases.  Due to the
long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.  Further details on the assumptions
used and sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions are provided in note 29. 
 
Carrying value of investments 
 
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36, an impairment test was performed on the carrying value of the Company's
investment in Clydesdale Bank PLC at the Group's standard annual impairment test date in September 2016.  The results of
this test did not indicate any impairment in the carrying value of Clydesdale Bank PLC. 
 
The key assumptions and sensitivities involved in these calculations are discussed further in note 42 of the Company
financial statements. 
 
Deferred tax assets 
 
Disclosures in relation to the Group's deferred tax assets of £183m (2015: £389m) can be found in note 23.  The reduction
of £206m principally reflects the impact of changes in legislation restricting the use of certain historic losses to 25% of
future profits and the change in future tax rates, coupled with management's decision to reduce its horizon for recognition
of losses reflecting the uncertainty inherent in the taxation of banks.  The Group has assessed the recoverability of these
deferred tax assets at 30 September 2016 and considers it probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available
against which the underlying deductible temporary differences can be utilised.  The Group has made this assessment with
reference to the latest available profit forecasts.  The tax losses carried forward have been assessed for recoverability
against the Group's forecasts which include adjustments for future strategic changes, the future economic outlook and
regulatory change.  Current UK tax legislation does not specify a maximum forecast horizon to utilise losses; the Group
expects the assets remaining on its balance sheet to be recovered over a horizon consistent with the Group's current
corporate planning period which is deemed to be the reasonably forseeable future in light of the uncertainty surrounding
the taxation of banking groups.

Gains less losses on financial instruments at fair value incorporates valuation movements for certain financial assets
which are designated at inception as fair value through profit or loss.  These assets are predominantly fixed interest rate
loans and movements in fair value are recognised in the income statement as part of non-interest income.  The fair value of
these loans is derived from the future loan cash flows using appropriate discount rates and includes adjustments for credit
risk and credit losses.  In general, as interest rates fall, the fair value of the loan portfolio increases.  Conversely,
as interest rates rise, the fair value of the loan portfolio decreases.  Similarly, if credit spreads widen, the fair value
of these loans will decrease, and vice versa.  A credit risk gain on fair value loans and associated liabilities of £11m,
offset by a fair value loss of £4m, has been recognised in the current period (2015: £18m and £47m, respectively).  The
valuation technique used is reflective of current market practice. 
 
In the year ended 30 September 2016 fees and commission income includes an additional £13m of income as a result of the
acquisition of CYB Intermediaries Limited on 30 September 2015. 
 
In the year ended 30 September 2016 other income includes a gain of £1m (2015: £2m) on early repurchase of medium term
subordinated debt (note 28 and 12) and a gain of £Nil (2015: £61m) arising on capital restructures.  A loss of £Nil arising
on a capital restructure is included in related entity charges (notes 7 and 12) (2015: £2m). 
 
On 2 November 2015 Visa Inc. announced the proposed acquisition of Visa Europe Limited ('Visa Europe') which was completed
on 21 June 2016.  The Group was a principal member and shareholder of Visa Europe and in exchange for its share received a
combination of cash and preferred stock. Following the acquisition announcement, the fair value of the Group's share in
Visa Europe was increased by £7m, with a corresponding increase in the Group's available for sale reserve. The fair value
gain recognised within the available for sale reserve was recycled to the income statement on completion of the sale and is
included within 'gains on disposal of available for sale financial assets' above. 
 
In December 2014, £650m of Tier 2 subordinated debt issued was redeemed.  These instruments would have become progressively
ineligible for Tier 2 treatment under CRD IV's transitional rules from 1 January 2015 as well as being impacted by the
introduction of a 25% capital limit under Pillar 2A.  These instruments were replaced by an issue of £350m of ordinary
shares and an issue of AT1 capital instruments of £150m. As a result of the redemptions, the prior year results include
gains of £61m in other income arising on capital restructures and a further gain of £2m on early redemption of medium term
funding on 30 September 2015, resulting in total gains in the year to 30 September 2015 of £63m.

Related entity charges includes a loss on capital restructuring of £Nil (2015: £2m) (note 12). 
 
During the year ended 30 September 2015, the Group's defined benefit pension plan arrangements were amended to offer
certain members the option to participate in a pension increase exchange upon retirement.  After taking independent
financial advice the member can elect to take a higher rate of pension upon retirement in exchange for waiving their right
to future inflation based increases.  Accounting for this change resulted in a credit to the income statement of £18m in
2015, resulting in a reduction in the defined benefit pension expense for that year.  Separation costs of £11m and £Nil
(2015: £8m and £2m) are included within other operating and administrative expenses and personnel expenses respectively.

Comparative disclosures have been amended to conform with the current period's presentation as detailed in note 1. 
 
Finance Act (No2) 2015 introduced the Bank Surcharge for the banking entity within the Group from 1 January 2016, being an
8% charge on taxable profits above £25m before the offset of brought forward losses or group relief.  There are no such
taxable profits in the underlying banking entity and accordingly no surcharge liability arises. 
 
The 'Conduct indemnity adjustment' represents the receipt from the Group's former parent less refunds attributable in
accordance with the indemnity agreement (note 27). 
 
The impact of the corporation tax rate change, restriction on loss utilisation, and the impact of management's concurrent
reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, is discussed in note 23 Deferred Tax.

 12.  Related party transactions  
 
 
As explained in note 1, on 8 February 2016, CYBG PLC became the new holding company for the CYBI Group by way of a share
for share exchange and was listed on the London Stock Exchange.  Following the demerger and completion of the IPO, NAB no
longer controls, jointly controls or has significant influence over the Company or its subsidiaries.  Consequently, there
is no related party relationship between NAB and the Company or its subsidiaries following the demerger date.  As a result,
amounts due to and due from NAB and its controlled entities have been reclassified from 8 February 2016, as explained
below. 
 
As the related party relationship ceased between the Group and NAB at the date of the demerger, only those transactions
with NAB taking place up to the demerger date are reported herein as related party transactions.  The comparative financial
information has not been restated.
