be kept under review in light of developments from the insolvent estates. 
 
The FSCS has estimated levies due to 31 March 2017 and an accrual of £8m (2015: £9m) is held for the Group's calculated
liability to that date.  The ultimate FSCS levy as a result of the failures is uncertain. 
 
Conduct risk related matters 
 
There continues to be significant uncertainty and thus judgement required in determining the quantum of conduct risk
related liabilities with note 27 reflecting the Group's current position in relation to redress provisions including those
for PPI and IRHPs.  The final amount required to settle the Group's potential liabilities for these, and other conduct
related matters, is materially uncertain.  Contingent liabilities include those matters where redress is likely to be paid
and costs incurred but the amounts cannot currently be estimated.  The financial exposure to the Group related to legacy
conduct risks is mitigated by the Capped Indemnity provided by its former parent (note 27). The Group will continue to
reassess the adequacy of provisions for these matters and the assumptions underlying the calculations at each reporting
date based upon experience and other relevant factors at that time. 
 
Legal claims 
 
The Group is named in and is defending a number of legal claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  No material
adverse impact on the financial position of the Group is expected to arise from the ultimate resolution of these legal
actions.

accordingly, the total above excludes NAB share plan costs after 8 February 2016.

Share Incentive Plan (SIP) 
 
Eligible employees at the date of the award, were awarded Group shares, which are held in the Share Incentive Plan Trust
(SIP Trust).  Awards are not subject to performance conditions and participants are the beneficial owners of the shares
granted to them, but not the registered owners.  Voting rights over the shares are normally exercised by the registered
owner at the direction of the participants.  For the demerger award made in March 2016, leavers (with the exception of
gross misconduct) retain their awards but they must withdraw their shares from the SIP Trust.

Determination of grant date fair values 
 
Participants of the DEP and LTIP plans  are not entitled to dividends until the awards vest, but the number of shares which
vest may be increased to reflect the value of dividends that would have been paid up to the end of the holding period for
the awards. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of the awards with only service conditions and/or non-market performance
conditions has been taken as the market value of the Company's ordinary shares at the grant date. Where awards are subject
to non-market performance conditions, an estimate is made of the number of awards expected to vest in order to determine
the overall share-based payment charge to be recognised over the vesting period. 
 
The Group has not issued awards under any CYBG plan with market performance conditions. 
 
Legacy NAB awards 
 
Prior to the demerger, employees of the Group received awards under NAB share plans as described below.  No deferred bonus,
LTIP, or freeshare awards were made under NAB plans in December 2015 due to the planned demerger.

result of resignation, termination by the Group or failure to meet compliance requirements. Awards included: 
 
·    Deferred elements of bonus awards for members of the Executive Leadership team where required to comply with the PRA

·    LTIP awards were also subject to performance hurdles (both internal and external) are measured at the end of a four to
five year restriction period.  During the restriction period an executive's performance rights will lapse if performance
hurdles are not met.  A variety of performance measures are used for different grants of long term incentives including
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared against peer companies, and regional or NAB Group ROE and cash earnings. The
measures used depend on the level and impact of the participant's role, the business or region in which they work and the
relevant programme. 
 
Each performance right is exchanged for one fully paid ordinary share in NAB Limited upon exercise, subject to standard
adjustments for capital actions.  No exercise price is payable by the holder on exercise of performance rights.

the demerger, all participants were treated as good leavers from the SIP and their NAB shares were withdrawn from the SIP
Trust.

 37.  Fair value of financial instruments  
 
 
 (a)  Fair value of financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet at amortised cost  
 
 
The tables below show a comparison of the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost,
as reported on the balance sheet, and their fair values where these are not approximately equal. 
 
Analysis of the fair value disclosures uses a hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in measuring fair
value.  The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement is categorised is determined on the
basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The fair value
hierarchy is as follows: 
 
·      Level 1 fair value measurements - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for an identical financial asset or
liability. 
 
·      Level 2 fair value measurements - inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the
financial asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). 
 
·      Level 3 fair value measurements - inputs for the financial asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data (unobservable inputs). 
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.  The estimated fair values are based on relevant information available
at the reporting date and involve judgement.  The methodologies and assumptions used in the fair value estimates are
described in the footnotes to the tables. 
 
There are various limitations inherent in this fair value disclosure particularly where prices may not represent the
underlying value due to dislocation in the market.  Not all of the Group's financial instruments can be exchanged in an
active trading market.  The Group obtains the fair values for investment securities from quoted market prices where
available.  Where securities are unlisted and quoted market prices are not available, the Group obtains the fair value by
means of discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques that are commonly used by market participants.  These
techniques address factors such as interest rates, credit risk and liquidity.  The difference between carrying value and
fair value is relevant in a trading environment, but is not relevant to assets held to maturity and loans and advances.

 37.  Fair value of financial instruments (continued)  
 
 
 (a)  Fair value of financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet at amortised cost (continued)  
 
 
The Group's fair values disclosed for financial instruments at amortised cost are based on the following methodologies and
assumptions: 
 
 (a)  Loans and advances to customers - the fair value of loans and advances are determined by firstly segregating them into portfolios of similar characteristics.  Contractual cash flows are then adjusted for expected credit losses and expectations of customer 
      behaviour based on observed historic data.  The cash flows are then discounted using current market rates for instruments of similar terms and maturity to arrive at an estimate of their fair value.  Certain variable rate loan portfolios are discounted     
      using market rates on similar loans offered by the Group at the valuation date.                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 (b)  Due to customers - the fair value of deposits is determined from a discounted cash flow model using current market rates for instruments of similar terms and maturity.                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 (c)  Amounts due to related entities - the fair value of subordinated debt and notes issued to related entities was determined from a discounted cash flow model using current market rates for instruments of similar terms and maturity. The comparable instruments 
      are presented within 'Debt securities in issue' in the current year.  All other amounts due to related entities were repayable under varying maturities but were materially repriced every 3-6 months relative to market rates.                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 (d)  Debt securities in issue - The fair value is taken directly from quoted market prices where available or determined from a discounted cash flow model using current market rates for instruments of similar terms and maturity.                                 
 
 
 (b)  Fair value of financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet at fair value  
 
 
The following tables provide an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at
fair value, using the fair value hierarchy described in note 37(a) above.

 37.  Fair value of financial instruments (continued)  
 
 
 (b)  Fair value of financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet at fair value (continued)  
 
 
The Group's fair values for financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are
based on the following methodologies and assumptions: 
 
(a)   Derivative financial assets and liabilities - the fair values of derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts,
interest rate swaps, interest rate and currency option contracts, and currency swaps, are obtained from quoted closing
market prices as at the balance sheet date, discounted cash flow models or option pricing models as appropriate. 
 
(b)    Available for sale investments 
 
·      Listed (level 1) - the fair values of listed investments are based on quoted closing market prices. 
 
·      Unlisted (level 3) - includes the unlisted equity investment in VocaLink of £25m (2015: £5m) (see note 13). The
valuation of these shares is based on offers received for the Group's shareholding as the best indicator of the fair value
of these shares at the reporting date.  Unlisted (level 3) also includes £2m for the Group's US Dollar denominated
convertible preference shares in Visa Inc. (see note 13). The fair value of the preference shares has been calculated by
taking the period end NYSE share price for Visa Inc. and discounting for illiquidity and clawback related to contingent
litigation. For other unlisted equity and debt investments, the Group's share of the net asset value or the transaction
price respectively are considered the best representation of the exit price and are the Group's best estimates of fair
value. 
 
·      Available for sale other (level 3) - the other available for sale financial asset represents deferred consideration
receivable and consists of the rights to future commissions.  The valuation is determined from a discounted cash flow model
incorporating estimated attrition rates and investment growth rates appropriate to the underlying funds under management. 
 
(c)   Other financial assets and liabilities at fair value - fair values are derived from data or valuation techniques
based upon observable market data and non-observable inputs as appropriate to the nature and type of the underlying
instrument 
 
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the year.

The Group has £48m (2015: £67m) of financial liabilities at fair value classed as Level 3 which represent a portfolio of
term deposits that are directly linked to the customer loans, which are also held at fair value and classed as Level 3. 
Their relationship to the fair value assets is such that should the liability be settled, the amount payable would be net
of the fair value asset. 
 
Sensitivity of Level 3 fair value measurements to reasonably possible alternative assumptions 
 
Where valuation techniques use non-observable inputs that are significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety,
changing these inputs will change the resultant fair value measurement. 
 
The most significant exposure to Level 3 fair value measurements is in respect of the Group's fair value loan portfolio and
the most significant inputs impacting the carrying value of the loans other than interest rates are future expectations of
credit losses.  If lifetime expected losses were 20% greater than predicted, the carrying value of the loans would decrease
by £5m and vice versa. 
 
As disclosed above, the fair value of the Group's investment in VocaLink is based on the offer set out in the definitive
agreement to acquire 92.4% of VocaLink Holdings Limited announced by MasterCard on 21 July 2016. Whilst this transaction is
subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, the Group expects that the sale will be completed
under these terms.  The sensitivity of fair value to possible changes in the cash offer or the associated future earn-out
entitlements (which have a limited range of potential variation) has not therefore been modelled. 
 
The most significant input impacting the carrying value of the available for sale - other asset is the Funds Under
Management Attrition rate.  If this rate was 30% the carrying value would reduce by £3m; if it was 10% the carrying value
would increase by £2m.  The Group currently assumes a 15% attrition rate. 
 
Other than these significant Level 3 measurements, the Group has a limited remaining exposure to Level 3 fair value
measurements, and changing one or more of the inputs for fair value measurements in Level 3 to reasonable alternative
assumptions would not change the fair value significantly with respect to profit or loss, total assets, total liabilities
or equity on these remaining Level 3 measurements.

 38.  Pillar 3 disclosures  
 
 
Basel III Capital Requirements Directive IV 
 
Pillar 3 disclosure requirements are set out in Part Eight of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR).  The consolidated
disclosures of the Group, for the 2016 financial year, will be issued concurrently with the Annual Report and Accounts and
will be found at www.cybg.com/investor-centre/financial-results/. 
 
 39.  Events after the balance sheet date  
 
 
On 25 October 2016 the Group announced that it has engaged in discussions with The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS)
and has made a preliminary non-binding proposal to RBS in relation to its Williams and Glyn operations. This engagement is
ongoing and there can be no certainty that any transaction will occur, nor as to the terms on which any transaction might
be concluded.

Country by country reporting 
 
The Capital Requirements (Country-by-Country Reporting) Regulations 2013 came into effect on 1 January 2014 and place
certain reporting obligations on financial institutions that are within the scope of the European Union's Capital
Requirements Directive (CRD IV). The purpose of the Regulations is to provide clarity on the source of the Group's income
and the locations of its operations. 
 
The vast majority of entities that are consolidated within the Group's financial statements are UK registered entities. The
activities of the Group are described in the Strategic Report. 
 
The total operating income and the average number of full time equivalent employees during the year to 30 September 2016
were: 
 
                                                  2016 UK  
 Average full time equivalent employees (number)  6,718    
 Total operating income (£m)                      997      
 Profit before tax (£m)                           77       
 Corporation tax paid/(recovered) (£m)            (4)      
 Public subsidies received (£m)                   Nil      
 
 
The only non UK registered entities of the Group are two Trustee companies that are part of the Group's securitisation
vehicles (Lanark and Lannraig).  Both of these entities (Lanark Trustees Limited and Lannraig Trustees Limited) are
registered in Jersey.  These entities play a part in the overall securitisation process by having the beneficial interest
in certain mortgage assets assigned to them.  Both entities have no assets or liabilities recognised in their financial
statements with the securitisation activity taking place in other UK registered entities of the structures.  These entities
do not undertake any external economic activity and have no employees.  The results of these entities as well as those of
the entire Lanark and Lannraig securitisation structures are consolidated in the financial statements of the Group.

Credit Risk is the risk that a borrower or counterparty fails to pay the interest or capital due on a loan or other
financial instrument. 
 
Credit risk manifests itself in the financial instruments and/or products that the Group offers, and those in which the
Group invests (including, among others, loans, guarantees, credit-related commitments, letters of credit, acceptances,
inter-bank transactions, foreign exchange transactions, swaps and bonds).  Credit risk can be found both on and off balance
sheet.  The disclosures in this section address credit risk on the Group's loans and advances to customers and loans held
as financial assets at fair value.

Mitigation and Management of Credit Risk 
 
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, that 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      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  
 
 
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 of advances that are neither past due nor impaired:
