Key points 
 
 ·  HFT: Holdings of UK and US government bonds, and ABS decreased, reflecting sales and continued focus on balance sheet reduction and capital management in CIB. The increase in other government bonds primarily reflected higher seasonal market activity in bond auctions compared with the year end, partially offset by disposals. The increase in short positions in UK and US government bonds was driven by market conditions and customer demand, while that in other government reflected hedging of higher long        
    positions and customer demand.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 ·  AFS: Government securities decreased by £4.0 billion. The decreases in UK, US and other government bonds reflected net disposals as gains were realised, as well as transfers of UK government bonds to HTM in Treasury. Holdings in bank issuances fell by £0.5 billion due to maturities and disposals.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 ·  AFS gross unrealised gains and losses: The UK and US government decreases in unrealised gains reflect exposure reductions. The increases in other government reflect market movements, and increases in banks and other financial institutions reflect maturities, disposals and market movements.

 (1)  Includes exchange traded contracts of £2,749 billion, (31 December 2013 - £2,298 billion) principally interest rate. Trades are margined daily hence carrying values were insignificant: assets - £72 million (31 December 2013 - £69 million) and liabilities - £265 million (31 December 2013 - £299 million).  
 (2)  Interest rate notional includes £17,606 billion (31 December 2013 - £22,563 billion) in respect of contracts with central clearing counterparties to the extent related assets and liabilities are offset.                                                                                                        
 
 
Key points 
 
 ·  Interest rate contracts: notionals balances were £6.5 trillion lower due to increased participation in trade compression cycles during the first half of 2014, following subdued activity by Tri Optima in 2013. This also resulted in reduced amounts of trades 
    cleared through central clearing counterparties (£5 trillion reduction). The fair value increased due to downward shifts in major yield curves due to volatility in emerging markets at the beginning of the year followed by the European Central Bank's       
    decision to introduce measures to aid economic recovery in June 2014. This was partially offset by decrease due to the strengthening of GBP against the US Dollar and Euro and participation in tear ups.                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Foreign exchange contracts: decrease in fair value reflects the strengthening of GBP against the US dollar and euro, and the strengthening of Japanese yen against the US dollar, as the portfolio is materially positioned long US dollar and short Japanese   
    yen at 30 June 2014.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Credit derivatives fair values decreased reflecting tightening credit spreads and compression cycles.                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Uncollateralised derivatives predominantly represent those with large corporates with whom RBS may have netting arrangements in place, but whose business models do not support collateral posting capacity and sovereigns and supranational entities with one  
    way collateral agreements in their favour. In addition there are some uncollateralised derivative positions with banks in certain jurisdictions for example Russia, China, Malaysia which are either uncollateralised or the collateral agreements are not      
    deemed legally enforceable and have therefore been reported as uncollateralised.

Notes: 
 
 (1)  The data reflected changes in methodology highlighted in the 2013 Report and Accounts, and also the removal in April of the reporting threshold for forbearance data capture.  
 (2)  Provision coverage reflects impairment provision as a percentage of non performing loan.                                                                                       
 (3)  The total exceeds 100% as an individual case can involve more than one type of arrangement.

Key points 
 
 ·  Forbearance completed on loans decreased during the first half of 2014 compared with the second half of 2013. This was in line both with improving market conditions and the RCR disposal strategy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 ·  Forbearance continued to be granted in sectors that have experienced financial stress in recent years. The property sector remained the greatest contributor to the forborne portfolio, while there was a marked fall in the transport sector during the period. Some 70% of completed forbearance in the half year related to RCR loans, of which 60% were originated by Ulster Bank. Of the forbearance granted on non-performing loans, 65% related to loans originated by Ulster Bank.

 ·  Provisions for the non-performing loans disclosed above are individually assessed and therefore not directly comparable across periods. Provision coverage remained stable in H1.                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  At 30 June 2014 loans totalling £5.9 billion (31 December 2013 - £9.4 billion) had been granted credit approval for forbearance but had not yet been formally documented and were not being managed in accordance with the approved forbearance strategy. These 
    loans are referred to as "in process" and are not included in the tables above, but 86% were non-performing (31 December 2013 - 84%) with an associated provision coverage of 54% (31 December 2013 - 44%). The principal types of forbearance offered were     
    consistent with the completed forbearance population. The amount of in-process forbearance fell materially in line with the completion of forbearance during H1 and with disposals in RCR, which were not offset by new in-process cases.

 ·  Approximately 85% of forbearance loans (31 December 2013 - 84%) were up-to-date with payments compared with approximately 98% of assets not subject to forbearance activity.                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 ·  The majority (96%) of UK PBB forbearance was permanent in nature (term extensions, capitalisation of arrears, historical conversions to interest only). Temporary forbearance comprises payment concessions, such as reduced or deferred payments, with arrangements typically agreed for a period between three and six months.                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 ·  The most frequently occurring forbearance types were term extensions (44% of forbearance loans at 30 June 2014), interest only conversions (30%) and capitalisations of arrears (16%). Conversions to interest only have only been permitted on a very exceptional basis since the fourth quarter of 2012 and have not been permitted for customers in financial difficulty since 2009.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 ·  The impairment provision cover on forbearance mortgages remained significantly higher than that on assets not subject to forbearance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 
 
Ulster Bank 
 
 ·  At 30 June 2014, 19.3% (£3.5 billion) of Ulster Bank's mortgage loans were subject to forbearance arrangements, an increase from 14.6% (£2.8 billion) at 31 December 2013. This reflected Ulster Bank's strategy of seeking to help customers facing financial  
    difficulties.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ·  The increase in forbearance stock from 31 December 2013 to 30 June 2014 is attributable to customers entering forbearance for the first time (48%), customers re-entering forbearance (33%) and methodology refinements primarily relating to exit criteria     
    (19%). The number of customers approaching Ulster Bank for assistance for the first time fell in Q2 2014 compared with Q4 2013.                                                                                                                                 
 ·  There was continued increase in the proportion of longer-term forbearance solutions granted by Ulster Bank. As a percentage of the total, 55% of forbearance loans were subject to a longer term arrangement at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013 - 41%).          
    Capitalisations represented 28% (December 2013 - 17%), term extensions 11% (31 December 2013 - 11%) and interest rate discounts 16% (31 December 2013 - 13%) of the total forbearance portfolio at 30 June 2014. Interest rate discounts are offered for periods 
    of up to eight years and incorporate a payment concession based on the customer's ability to pay.                                                                                                                                                               
 ·  The remaining forbearance loans were temporary concessions accounting for 45% of the total forborne population, (31 December 2013 - 59%). Interest only arrangements decreased during 2014 to 11% of forbearance loans at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013 - 18%). 
    Payment concessions (excluding interest rate discounts) represented the remaining 34% (31 December 2013 - 41%).                                                                                                                                                 
 ·  The proportion of forbearance arrangements that were less than 90 days in arrears increased from 72% (31 December 2013) to 75% (30 June 2014).

Key points 
 
 ·  In line with the bank's strategy, overall gross lending exposure to commercial real estate fell by £3.4 billion, or 6% during the first half of 2014. Most of the decrease occurred in RCR exposure originated by Ulster Bank and CIB and was due to repayments, 
    asset sales and write-offs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  The RCR portfolio totalled £18.3 billion, representing 37% of the bank's portfolio at 30 June 2014. Geographically, 54% of the portfolio was held in Ireland, 31% in the UK, and 14% in Western Europe.                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Following disposals in the RCR portfolio which were concentrated in Ireland and western Europe (mainly in Germany), the commercial real estate portfolio was more focused on the UK market which represented 61% of the CRE portfolio (31 December 2013 - 58%). 
    Approximately 45% of the UK portfolio was held in London and the south east of England at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013 - 47%). The overall mix of sub-sector and investments and development remained broadly unchanged.A significant increase in new business 
    in UK residential development during the first half of 2014 to support new housing construction was offset by repayments of maturing loans, in addition to timing issues with recently agreed loans expected to be drawn as construction progressed.

Provisions are marked against these loans where required to reflect the relevant asset quality and recovery profile.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 (2)  Other non-performing loans of £2.2 billion (31 December 2013 - £2.3 billion) were subject to standard provisioning policies. Other performing loans of £6.2 billion (31 December 2013 - £5.4 billion) included general corporate loans, typically unsecured, to commercial real estate companies, and major UK house builders in addition to facilities supported by guarantees. The credit quality of these exposures was consistent with that of the performing portfolio overall.  
 (3)  Weighted average by exposure.

Key points 
 
 ·  The average LTV for the performing book improved from 65% to 60% during the last six months. The performing book in the UK had a slightly better LTV at 56%. The reductions in the higher LTV buckets occurred mainly in the RCR book originated by Ulster Bank 
    and CIB, reflecting reductions through repayments, asset sales and write-offs. The reductions were also reflected in the greater than 150% LTV bucket, occurring mainly in Ireland and Western Europe. RCR-Ulster Bank accounted for the growth in minimal      
    security which was at the final stage of a reduction strategy - these are fully provided for.                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  Interest payable on outstanding performing investment property secured loans was covered 1.4x and 2.9x within RCR and RBS excluding RCR, respectively.                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 ·  The proportion of the portfolio managed within the bank's standard credit processes increased from 47% at 31 December 2013 to 54% at 30 June 2014, while the proportion of the portfolio in AQ10 decreased from 22% to 18% during the period.
