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.

The information in this document may include forward looking statements, which are based on assumptions, expectations,
valuations, targets, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events. These can be identified by the use of words
such as 'expects', 'aims', 'targets', 'seeks', 'anticipates', 'plans', 'intends', 'prospects' 'outlooks', 'projects',
'believes', 'estimates', 'potential', 'possible', and similar words or phrases. These forward looking statements, as well
as those included in any other material discussed at any presentation, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about the Group and its securities, investments and the environment in which it operates, including, among other things,
the development of its business and strategy, trends in its operating industry, changes to customer behaviours and

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events in the forward looking statements may not occur. Forward
looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Other events not taken into account may occur and may
significantly affect the analysis of the forward looking statements. Neither the Group nor its Directors give any assurance
that any such projections or estimates will be realised or that actual returns or other results will not be materially
lower than those set out in this document and/or discussed at any presentation. All forward looking statements should be
viewed as hypothetical. No representation or warranty is made that any forward looking statement will come to pass. No
member of the Group or its Directors undertakes any obligation to update or revise any such forward looking statement
following the publication of this document nor accepts any responsibility, liability or duty of care whatsoever for

fullness, fairness, merchantability, accuracy, sufficiency or completeness of, the information in this document.
