Loan asset credit quality 
 
All loans and advances are categorised as either 'neither past due nor
impaired', 'past due but not impaired', 'individually impaired', or
'collectively impaired'. For the purposes of the disclosures in the loan asset
credit quality section below: 
 
-    A loan is considered past due when the borrower has failed to make a
payment when due under the terms of the loan contract. 
 
-    The impairment allowance includes allowances against financial assets
that have been individually impaired and those subject to collective
impairment. 
 
-    Loans neither past due nor impaired and loans that are past due but not
impaired consist predominantly of corporate and retail loans that are
performing and whilst not individually impaired, may be subject to a
collective impairment allowance. 
 
-    Impaired loans that are individually assessed consist predominantly of
corporate loans that are past due and for which an individual allowance has
been raised. 
 
-    Portfolio impaired loans, which are not included in the categories above,
are a subset of collectively impaired loans and consist predominantly of
retail loans that are 90 days or more past due.

Residential mortgage lending 
 
The table below stratifies credit exposures from mortgage loans and advances
to customer by ranges of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.  LTV is calculated as the
ratio of the gross amount of the loan to the value of the collateral.  The
gross amounts exclude any impairment allowance.  The valuation of the
collateral excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the collateral. 
The value of the collateral for residential mortgage loans is based on the
collateral value at origination updated based on changes in house price
indices.

Loans and advances to corporate customers 
 
The general credit worthiness of a corporate customer tends to be the most
relevant indicator of credit quality of a loan extended to it.  However,
collateral provides additional security and the Bank generally requests that
corporate borrowers provide it.  The Bank may take collateral in the form of a
first charge over real estate, floating charges over all corporate assets and
other liens and guarantees.

Commercial exposures represent a growing part of the total lending portfolio. 
The average debt-to-value ("DTV") of the commercial loan book is stable and
below 60%. The proportion of lending with DTV above 80% has been decreasing
over the last 4 years and is now stable at 6%. Collections performances
continue to improve.  DTV is calculated as the ratio of the gross outstanding
amount of a loan to the indexed value of the collateral.

The classification of a financial instrument is based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The
two levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined below. 
 
6.    Investment securities (continued) 
 
Quoted market prices - Level 1 
 
Financial instruments are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable
in an active market. Such instruments are valued by reference to unadjusted
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the
quoted price is readily available, and the price represents actual and
regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. An active
market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency
to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. 
 
Valuation technique using observable inputs - Level 2 
 
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from
prices). 
 
Reclassifications between categories 
 
On 31 May 2016, £25.4 million of financial assets classified as available for
sale were reclassified as held to maturity.  On 22 November 2016, £14.9
million of financial assets classified as available for sale were reclassified
as held to maturity.  The carrying amount (including accrued interest) and
fair value of the assets at 1 January 2016, 31 May 2016, 22 November 2016 and
31 December 2016 were as follows: 
 
                      Carrying amount    Fair value  
                      £'000              £'000       
                                                     
 At 31 December 2016  40,329             40,872      
                                                     
                                                     
                                                     
 
 
A fair value gain of £0.06 million was recognised with respect to the
reclassified assets in 2016; had these assets not been reclassified, a fair
value gain of £0.55 million would have been recognised in other comprehensive
income.  The effective interest rates on available for sale assets
reclassified to held to maturity at 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 ranged
from 1.4% to 1.8%, with all cash flows expected to be recoverable. 
 
At 31 December 2016, financial investments classified as held to maturity were
as follows:

10.  Loss per share 
 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to
ordinary equity holders of Metro Bank by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period. 
 
Diluted loss per share has been calculated based on the same loss attributable
to ordinary equity holders of Metro Bank and weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue after the effect of adjustment for potential dilutive
ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to colleagues. Potential
ordinary shares should only be treated as dilutive when their conversion to
ordinary shares results in a reduction in earnings per share or an increase in
loss per share. As Metro Bank has a loss attributable to ordinary equity
holders of Metro Bank in 2016 and 2015 for these years, the share options
would be antidilutive, as they would reduce the loss per share. Therefore,
they are disregarded in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share.
However, the share options could potentially be dilutive in the future. 
 
                                                              2016        2015

11. Fair value of financial instruments 
 
The fair values of financial instruments are based on market prices where
available, or are estimated using other valuation techniques. Where they are
short term in nature or re-price frequently, fair value approximates to
carrying value. Apart from investment securities all other assets and
liabilities are deemed to have a fair value hierarchy of level 3. Level 3 is
defined as - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes equity
investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components.

For the cash and balances with the Bank of England and repurchase agreements,
the carrying value approximates to the fair value, and therefore no pricing
level has been identified for them above. 
 
Information on how fair values are calculated for the financial assets and
liabilities noted above are explained below: 
 
(a) Cash and balances with the Bank of England / Loans and advances to banks 
 
Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and
interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance
sheet date.  Fair values approximate carrying amounts as their balances are
generally short dated. 
 
11.  Fair value of financial instruments (continued) 
 
(b)   Loans and advances to customers 
 
Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and
interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance
sheet date, adjusted for future credit losses and prepayments, if considered
material. 
 
(c)   Investment securities 
 
The fair value of investment securities is based on either observed market
prices for those securities that have an active trading market (fair value
level 1 assets), or using observable inputs (in the case of fair value level 2
assets). 
 
(d)    Deposits from customers 
 
Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows, applying current rates
offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of a
deposit repayable on demand is approximated by its carrying value. 
 
(e)   Deposits from central banks / repurchase agreements 
 
Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows, applying current rates.
Fair values approximate carrying amounts as their balances are generally short
dated.
