 14.  Other financial assets and liabilities at fair value (continued)  
 
 
Loans and advances 
 
Included in other financial assets at fair value is a historical portfolio of loans (sales ceased in 2012).  Interest rate
risk associated with these loans is managed using interest rate derivative contracts and the loans are recorded at fair
value to avoid an accounting mismatch.  The maximum credit exposure of the loans is £750m (2015: £1,097m).  The cumulative
loss in the fair value of the loans attributable to changes in credit risk amounts to £24m (2015: £38m) and the change for
the current year is a decrease of £14m (2015: decrease of £36m). 
 
The loans are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (note 37). 
 
Due to customers - term deposits 
 
Included in other financial liabilities at fair value are fixed rate deposits, the interest rate risk on which is hedged
using interest rate derivative contracts.  The deposits are recorded at fair value to avoid an accounting mismatch. 
 
The change in fair value attributable to changes in the Group credit risk is £Nil (2015: £Nil).  The Group is contractually
obligated to pay £3m (2015: £4m) less than the carrying amount at maturity to the deposit holder. 
 
The term deposits are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (note 37). 
 
 15.  Derivative financial instruments  
 
 
The Group uses derivatives for risk mitigation purposes and does not have a trading book.  However, derivatives that do not
meet the hedging criteria within IAS 39, or those for which hedge accounting is not desirable, are accounted for as held
for trading (although they are used for risk mitigation).  The tables below analyse derivatives between those designated as
hedging instruments and those classified as held for trading.

Furthermore, the Group has an obligation to repurchase mortgage exposures if certain representations and warranties are
breached. 
 
Looking forward through future reporting periods there are a number of date based options on the notes issued by the
structured entities which could be actioned by them as issuer.  These could require the Group, as sponsor, to provide
additional liquidity support. 
 
Covered bonds 
 
At the reporting date the nominal level of over-collateralisation was £599m (2015: £855m) of the outstanding covered bonds.
 From time to time the obligations of the Group to provide over-collateralisation may increase due to the formal
requirements of the programme. 
 
Furthermore, the Group has an obligation to repurchase mortgage exposures if certain representations and warranties are

Valuations 
 
The Group's freehold and long term leasehold land and buildings are carried at their fair value as determined by
independent valuers and the Group's own directors' valuations.  Fair values are determined in accordance with guidance
published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, including adjustments to observable market inputs reflecting any
specific characteristics of the land and buildings (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in note 37).  Valuations
are performed annually in July. 
 
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year.  There were no transfers between levels of the fair
value hierarchy during the year. 
 
A comparison of the carrying value under the revaluation basis and if the historical cost basis had been used is shown
below:

Investment properties are stated at fair value, which has been determined based on valuations performed by independent
valuers and the Group's own directors' valuations. 
 
Investment property is compared to property for which there is observable market data about its realisable value on
disposal.  Adjustments to this observable data are applied for specific characteristics of the property such as the nature,
location or condition of the specific asset.  Investment properties are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
as defined in note 37.  There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year.  There were no transfers
between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year. 
 
During the year 97% (2015: 99%) of the investment properties generated total rental income of £1m (2015: £2m) and incurred
operating and administrative expenses of £1m (2015: £1m).  The operating and administrative expenses of the investment
properties that did not generate rental income were £Nil (2015: £Nil).

Associates 
 
Associates are undertakings over which the Group exerts significant influence but not control.  Investments in associates
are accounted for using the equity method.  The attributable share of profit and reserves of the associated undertaking is
based on the management accounts as at 30 September 2016.  The Group has an interest in The Scottish Agricultural
Securities Corporation PLC which is registered and operates in Scotland.  This investment is accounted for as an associate
undertaking on the basis that the Group has significant influence but not control.  The associated undertaking's principal
activity was the provision of finance and the Group's interest of 33.33% in the issued equity capital of £Nil is held by
Clydesdale Bank PLC.  The associated undertaking has a 31 March year end.  As at 30 September 2016, The Scottish

Structured entities 
 
The Group sponsors the formation of structured entities, primarily for the purpose of facilitation of asset securitisation
and covered bond transactions to accomplish certain narrow and well defined objectives.  Although the Group has no
shareholding in these entities, where it is exposed, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the
entities and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity, they are regarded as controlled
entities as described in note 2 and are consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

On 15 July 2016 the business activities of Lanark Trustees Limited (Jersey) transferred to Lanark Trustees Limited
(England) 
 
All of the above controlled entities have a financial year end of 30 September. 
 
Common control business combinations 
 
As described in note 2, 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 book values. 
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. 
 
Significant restrictions 
 
As is typical for a Group of its size, there are restrictions on the ability of certain subsidiary entities to make
distributions of cash or other assets to the parent company.  These are considered below: 
 
Contractual requirements - asset encumbrance 
 
The Group uses its financial assets to raise finance in the form of securitisations and through the sale of securities
subject to repurchase agreements leading to the assets becoming encumbered.  Once encumbered, the assets are not available
for transfer around the Group.  The assets encumbered in relation to securitisation are disclosed in note 18.

Impairment testing of capitalised software assets is performed in accordance with IAS 36.  The impairment charge follows a
detailed review of the recoverable amount of the various assets.  Where the benefits associated with the software were
substantially reduced from what had originally been anticipated or the asset has been superseded by a subsequent
investment, the software has been written down to its recoverable amount.  An impairment charge of £45m has been recognised
in the year to 30 September 2016 (2015: £10m). 
 
Intangible assets are reviewed annually to consider whether these assets are currently in use.  Fully amortised intangible
assets of £63m (2015: £5m) that were no longer in use were written off during the year.

At 30 September 2016, the Group had an unrecognised deferred tax asset of £202m (2015: £16m) representing trading losses
with a gross value of £1,186m (2015: £80m).  A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of these losses as the
directors have insufficient certainty over their recoverability in the foreseeable future.  Under current UK tax
legislation there is no prescribed time period for loss utilisation, however, as outlined in the "Emerging/principal risks
and uncertainties" section of the business and financial review, the UK tax environment for banks in particular is
unsettled and has been subject to repeated change and increased restrictions, principally on the use of historic losses as
discussed below.  As a result, the period over which brought forward losses will be used to offset taxable profits in the
future has lengthened considerably. 
 
The statutory rate of UK corporation tax is 20% from 1 April 2015.  A series of reductions in that rate have been enacted
by subsequent legislation, in particular to 19% from 1 April 2017 and to 17% from 1 April 2020.  In accordance with IAS 12,
these rates are taken into account in assessing the value at which assets are expected to be realised and liabilities
settled.  In addition, from 1 April 2016, only 25% of a bank's profits can be relieved by brought forward losses,
significantly extending the timeframe taken to realise value for existing tax losses.  This is a further significant
restriction on top of the 50% limit imposed at 1 April 2015. 
 
As a result and in accordance with IAS 12, the directors have assessed the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, and
have chosen to derecognise deferred tax assets relating to those losses that the Group does not expect to be able to
utilise within the Group's current corporate planning horizon.  The combined impact of the legislative changes outlined
above, and the directors' reassessment of the recoverable horizon, is £226m, within a total deferred tax charge (Note 8) of
£232m. 
 
The deferred tax asset of £0.6m and liability of £21.3m in respect of cash flow hedge reserves (2015: £4.0m asset) relate
to different entities within the Group.
