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.

Funding and liquidity
The Group continues to have a strong funding and liquidity position and seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between
profitability and liquidity risk. Funding is predominantly provided by retail and SME customers, and is supported by
medium term secured funding issuance from the Group's Lanark and Lannraig securitisation programmes and its Regulated
Covered Bond platform. These funding programmes are a source of strength for the Group and leverage the Group's high
quality mortgage book. The Group ensures that funding is in place before lending to customers.
The BoE launched the TFS in 2016 to allow banks and building societies to borrow from the BoE at rates close to bank base
rate. TFS was designed to reinforce the transmission of the August base rate cut (and potential future rate cuts) to those
interest rates actually faced by households and businesses. The Group is supportive of these aims and reduced its standard
variable rate mortgage rate by the full 0.25% following the rate cut. The Bank drew down £1,900m from the scheme during
the half year which supports this rate reduction by reducing the Bank's overall funding cost and is intended to provide
support to lending growth throughout 2017.
The LDR increased from 112% to 117% during the half year due to growth in customer lending combined with a managed
reduction in short-term corporate deposits which provided little liquidity benefit to the Group.
The Group's liquid assets are calibrated to the Board's view of liquidity risk appetite and remain at a prudent level above
PRA requirements. The portfolio is managed by diversifying the mix of assets held to reduce basis risk and optimise the
yield. Core liquidity is held predominantly in deposits with central banks, UK Government Gilts, bonds issued by
supranational agencies and high quality covered bonds. Total unencumbered liquid assets were managed lower from £5,081m to
£4,158m. This is primarily due to a lower balance with the BoE as a result of the lending growth and deposit actions
described above. The Group was compliant with all internal and regulatory liquidity metrics at 31 March 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES
Encumbered assets by asset category
Examples of reasons for asset encumbrance include, amongst 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 banknotes. The ability to encumber
additional assets will also support any future activity through the TFS. The Group monitors the level of asset encumbrance
to ensure an appropriate balance is maintained.

Glossary
For a glossary of terms and abbreviations used within this report refer to pages 291 to 296 of the Group annual report and
accounts for the year ended 30 September 2016.
For terms not previously included within the Glossary, or where terms have been redefined refer below:
Default A customer is in default when either they are more than 90 days past due on a credit obligation to the Group, or are considered unlikely to pay their credit obligations
in full without recourse to actions such as realisation of security (if held).
Indexed loan to value (LTV) of the mortgage portfolio The mortgage portfolio weighted by balance and indexed using the MIAC Acadametrics indices at a given date.
Net interest margin (NIM) Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets for a given period. Net interest income of £411m (31 March 2016: £400m) is divided by average
interest earning assets for a given period of £36,963m (31 March 2016: £35,994m) (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 £643m (31 March 2016: £618m) and the net interest income numerator by £0.7m (31 March 2016: £1.3m).
Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share Tangible equity as at the period end divided by the closing number of ordinary shares.
Term Funding Scheme (TFS) Launched in 2016 by the BoE to allow banks and building societies to borrow from the BoE at rates close to base rate. This is designed to increase lending to businesses
by lowering interest rates and increasing access to credit.
Underlying profit after tax attributable to ordinary equity holders Underlying profit before tax of £123m (31 March 2016: £107m) less tax charge of £29m (31 March 2016: £21m), less dividends and distributions (net of tax relief) of £15m
(31 March 2016: £23m) and was equal to £79m (31 March 2016: £63m). The underlying tax charge is calculated by applying the statutory tax rate for the relevant period to
the taxable items adjusted on the underlying basis.
