 1  On 11 March 2014 the Group announced a change to its defined benefit pension schemes, revising the existing cap on the increases in pensionable pay used in calculating the pension benefit, from 2 per cent to nil with effect from 2 April 2014. The effect of 
    this change was to reduce the Group's retirement benefit obligations recognised on the balance sheet by £843 million with a corresponding curtailment gain recognised in the income statement. This has been partly offset by a charge of £21 million following 
    changes to pension arrangements for staff within the TSB business. In 2013, the Group agreed certain changes to early retirement and commutation factors in two of its principal defined benefit pension schemes, resulting in a curtailment cost of £104       
    million recognised in the Group's income statement in the half-year to 30 June 2013.

The Group reduces exposure to credit risk by using master netting agreements and by obtaining cash collateral. Of the
derivative assets of £27,241 million at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: £33,125 million), £16,426 million (31 December
2013: £19,479 million) is available for offset under master netting arrangements. These do not meet the criteria under IAS
32 to enable derivative assets to be presented net of these balances. Of the remaining derivative assets of £10,815 million
(31 December 2013: £13,646 million), cash collateral of £2,774 million (31 December 2013: £3,188 million) was held. 
 
The embedded equity conversion feature of £471 million (31 December 2013: £1,212 million) reflects the value of the equity
conversion feature contained in the Enhanced Capital Notes issued by the Group in 2009; a gain of £226 million arose from
the change in fair value in the half-year to 30 June 2014 (half-year to 30 June 2013: loss of £142 million; half-year to 31
December 2013: loss of £67 million) and is included within net trading income. In addition, £967 million of the embedded
derivative, being that portion of the embedded equity conversion feature related to ECNs derecognised pursuant to the
Group's exchange and retail tender transactions completed in April 2014 (see note 3), has been derecognised on completion
of those transactions.

 1  Includes securitisations utilising a combination of external funding and credit default swaps.  
 
 
Securitisation programmes 
 
Loans and advances to customers and debt securities classified as loans and receivables include loans securitised under the
Group's securitisation programmes, the majority of which have been sold by subsidiary companies to bankruptcy remote
structured entities. As the structured entities are funded by the issue of debt on terms whereby the majority of the risks
and rewards of the portfolio are retained by the subsidiary, the structured entities are consolidated fully and all of
these loans are retained on the Group's balance sheet, with the related notes in issue included within debt securities in
issue (note 16). 
 
Covered bond programmes 
 
Certain loans and advances to customers have been assigned to bankruptcy remote limited liability partnerships to provide
security to issues of covered bonds by the Group. The Group retains all of the risks and rewards associated with these
loans and the partnerships are consolidated fully with the loans retained on the Group's balance sheet and the related
covered bonds in issue included within debt securities in issue (note 16). 
 
Cash deposits of £10,927 million (31 December 2013: £13,500 million) held by the Group are restricted in use to repayment
of the debt securities issued by the structured entities, the term advances relating to covered bonds and other legal
obligations. 
 
Asset-backed conduits 
 
In addition to the structured entities detailed above, the Group sponsors three asset-backed conduits: Argento, Cancara and
Grampian, which invest in debt securities (note 13) and client receivables (note 10).
