Credit quality of loans and advances
For SME lending, the Group has an internally developed credit rating system, as defined under the Group's credit risk
management policy, which uses data drawn from a number of sources to assess the potential risk in lending to the Group's
customers. This system assigns an indication of the PD for each customer and can be broadly mapped to external agencies
rating scales. Impaired assets consist of SME lending and secured Retail lending where current circumstances indicate that
losses of loan principal and/or interest may be incurred.
Description eCRS(1) PD
Senior investment grade 1 to 5 0 < 0.11
Investment grade 6 to 11 0.11 < 0.55
Sub-investment grade 12 to 23 0.55 < 99.99
(1) eCRS - electronic Customer Rating System.
The credit quality of the portfolio of loans and advances that were neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by
reference to the Group's standard credit rating system. The credit rating system is supported by a variety of financial
analytics, combined with processed market information to provide the main inputs for the measurement of counterparty risk.
All internal risk ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Group's ratings
policy.
The table below represents the credit quality of SME loans and advances that are neither past due nor impaired:

The LTV ratio of Retail mortgage lending, coupled with the relationship of the debt to customers' income, is key to the
credit quality of these loans. The table below sets out the indexed LTV analysis of the Group's Retail mortgage stock.

The tables below summarise the level of forbearance in respect of the Group's mortgage portfolio at 30 September:

The Group also has a number of customers with interest-only mortgages past maturity, not subject to forbearance. The Group
has formal processes embedded to proactively track and facilitate prematurity customer engagement to bring the cases to a
formal conclusion, which is generally aimed to be achieved within six months after the loan has reached maturity. Complex
cases can take longer than this to reach conclusion. At 30 September 2017, the Group had 97 (2016: 102) customers with
interest-only mortgages not subject to forbearance and which were post six-month maturity with a total value of £14m (2016:
£12m).
A further forbearance reserve of £4m (2016: £4m) is presently held within the overall collective provision. The effect of
this on the above tables would be to increase the impairment allowance noted above to £12.1m (2016: £13.5m) and to increase
overall coverage to 3.05% (2016: 3.52%). When all other avenues of resolution including forbearance have been explored, the
Group will take steps to repossess and sell underlying collateral. In the year to 30 September 2017, there were 50
repossessions of which 13 were voluntary (2016: 78 including 27 voluntary).

Retail forbearance - unsecured consumer credit
The Group currently exercises limited forbearance strategies in relation to other types of consumer credit, including
current accounts, unsecured loans and credit cards. The Group has assessed the total loan balances subject to forbearance
on other types of consumer credit to be £11m at 30 September 2017 (2016: £14m), representing 1.02% of the unsecured Retail
portfolio (2016: 1.33%). Impairment provisions on forborne balances totalled £3.1m at 30 September 2017 (2016: £4.2m),
providing overall coverage of 27.18% (2016: 29.02%).

Balance sheet and prudential regulation risks
Balance sheet risks in the financial services industry are highly regulated with ongoing changes in the regulatory
environment expected to influence the risks and their management. The key risks include capital, liquidity and funding
risks, market risk which in the case of the Group is non-traded market risk (incorporating interest rate and foreign
exchange risks), pension risk and non-traded equity risk.
Capital
Capital is held by the Group to protect its depositors, to cover inherent risks in a normal and stressed operating
environment and to support the Group's strategy of sustainable growth. Capital risk is the risk that the Group has
insufficient quantity or quality of capital to support its operations.

we are investing in a number of high quality liquid assets from AAA rated issuance programmes.
(2) The definition of default was enhanced to capture a broader interpretation of the regulatory requirements as part of
the Group's programme of activity to prepare for IRB accreditation, which led to an increase in RWAs. This change does not
reflect any movement in the underlying risk profile of the portfolio and is only a reporting and Probability of Default

While RWAs increased by £649m, driven by growth in mortgages, underlying capital generation post AT1 distribution of 13bps
(before the net impact of pension movements, and below-the-line charges such as the Group's proportion of conduct provision
charges and exceptional restructuring charges) ensured the CET1 ratio remained robust at 12.4%.
As announced above the Board has recommended a 1p per share dividend. The dividend would equate to approximately £9m of
CET1 (equivalent to 4bps of CET1 based on RWAs as at 30 September 2017).

Balance sheet and prudential regulation risks
Funding and liquidity risk
Funding risk relates to the impact on the Group's strategy of being unable to raise funds from customers and the wholesale
markets of sufficient quantity and of appropriate mix and tenor. An inability to raise sufficient funds may lead to a
reduction in lending growth or a requirement to raise the price paid for deposits, both outcomes having an adverse effect
on shareholder value. Where funding risk manifests itself in an adverse effect on mix and tenor, for example, a high
proportion of short-term wholesale deposits, there is an increased liquidity risk to the Group.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current and future financial obligations as they fall due
at acceptable cost. These obligations include the repayment of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity dates,
the repayment of borrowings and loan capital as they mature, the payment of operating expenses and tax, the payment of
dividends and the ability to fund new and existing loan commitments.

Liquid assets
The quantity and quality of the Group's liquid assets are calibrated to the Board's view of liquidity risk appetite and
remain at a prudent level above regulatory requirements. The Group was compliant with all internal and regulatory liquidity
metrics at 30 September 2017.
The liquid asset portfolio provides a buffer against sudden and potentially sharp outflows of funds and liquid assets must
therefore be of a high quality so they can be realised for cash and cannot be encumbered for any other purpose (e.g. to
provide collateral for payments systems). Details on encumbered assets are provided in the following section.
The liquid asset portfolio is primarily comprised of cash at the BoE, UK Government Securities (Gilts) and listed
securities (e.g. bonds issued by supra-nationals and AAA rated covered bonds).

UK government treasury bills and gilts 1,129 1,187
Other debt securities 829 399
Total 6,325 5,288
The liquid asset portfolio has seen some diversification over 2017 with an increase in Other Debt securities. Before
investing in any security an assessment is completed for both the credit quality and the treatment for liquidity purposes.
ALCO oversees the composition of the liquid asset portfolio.

Encumbered assets by asset category
Examples of reasons for asset encumbrance include, among others, supporting the Group's secured funding programmes to
provide stable term funding to the Group, use of assets as collateral for payments systems in order to support customer's
transactional activity, and providing security for the Group's issuance of Scottish bank notes. The Group monitors the
level of asset encumbrance to ensure an appropriate balance is maintained.

Financial performance measures
As highlighted throughout the preliminary results announcement, the Group utilises a range of performance measures(1) to
assess the Group's performance. These can be grouped under the following headings:
Profitability;
Asset quality; and
Capital optimisation.
The performance measures used are a combination of statutory, regulatory and alternative performance measures; with the
type of performance measure used dependent on the component elements and source of what is being measured.
Statutory performance measures (S)
These are used when the basis of the calculation is derived from a measure that is required under generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). An example of this would be references to earnings per share.
Regulatory performance measures (R)
These are used when the basis of the calculation is required and specified by the Group's regulators. Examples of this
would be the leverage ratio and the Tier 1 ratio.
Alternative performance measures (A)
These are used when the basis of the calculation is derived from a non-GAAP measure - also referred to as APMs. Examples of
this would be the cost to income ratio and the return on tangible equity.
Where a performance measure refers to an 'underlying' metric, the detail on how this measure is arrived at, along with
management's reasoning for excluding the item from the Group's current underlying performance rationale, can be found on
page 16. These adjustments to the Group's statutory results made by management are necessary to provide a more meaningful
underlying basis.
Descriptions of the performance measures used, including the basis of calculation where appropriate, are set out below:
Profitability:
Term Type Definition
Net interest margin (NIM) A Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets for a given period. Net interest income of £844m (2016: £806m) is divided by average interest
earning assets for a given period of £37,697m (2016: £36,257m) (which is then adjusted to exclude short-term repos used for liquidity management purposes, amounts
received under the Conduct Indemnity and not yet utilised, and any associated income). As a result of the exclusions noted above, average interest earning assets used as
the denominator have reduced by £491m (2016: £698m) and the net interest income numerator has reduced by £1.1m (2016: £2.6m).
Underlying return on tangible equity (RoTE) A Underlying profit after tax less preference share and other distributions as a percentage of average tangible equity (total equity less intangible assets and AT1) for a
given period.
Underlying cost to income ratio (CIR) A Underlying total operating expenses as a percentage of underlying total operating income for a given period.
Underlying basic earnings per share (EPS) A Underlying profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary equity shareholders including tax relief on any distributions made to other equity holders divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue for a given period.
Statutory RoTE A Statutory profit/(loss) after tax less preference share and non-controlling interest distributions as a percentage of average tangible equity (total equity less
intangible assets and AT1) for a given period.
Statutory CIR A Statutory total operating expenses as a percentage of total operating income for a given period.
Statutory basic EPS S Statutory profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary equity shareholders including tax relief on any distributions made to other equity holders divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue for a given period.
(1) The term 'financial performance measure' covers all metrics, ratios and percentage calculations used to assess the
Group's performance and is interchangeable with similar terminology used in the preliminary results announcement such as
highlights, key metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs) and key credit metrics.

Specific provision to gross impaired assets A The specific impairment provision on credit exposures as a percentage of gross impaired assets at a given date.
Total provision to customer loans A Total impairment provision on credit exposures as a percentage of total customer loans at a given date.
Indexed loan to value (LTV) of the mortgageportfolio A The mortgage portfolio weighted by balance and indexed using the MIAC Acadametrics indices at a given date.
Net write offs to customer loans A Net write offs, including loans at fair value, as a percentage of total customer loans at a given date.
