 (4)  Paid-in equity reclassified to liabilities as a result of the call of RBS Capital Trust C in May 2016 (redeemed in July 2016).                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 
 
Notes 
 
1. Basis of preparation 
 
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with RBS's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts which were
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee of the IASB as adopted by the
European Union (EU) (together IFRS). 
 
Accounting policies 
 
RBS's principal accounting policies are set out on pages 267 to 280 of the 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. Amendments to
IFRSs effective for 2016 have not had a material effect on RBS's Q3 2016 results. 
 
Pensions 
 
In Q4 2015, RBS changed its accounting policy for the recognition of surpluses in its defined benefit pension schemes: in
particular, the policy for determining whether or not it has an unconditional right to a refund of surpluses in its
employee pension funds. Where RBS has a right to a refund, this is not deemed unconditional if pension fund trustees can
unilaterally enhance benefits for plan members. The amended policy was applied retrospectively and prior periods restated.
For further details, refer to pages 267 to 268 of RBS's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. 
 
Critical accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty 
 
The judgements and assumptions that are considered to be the most important to the portrayal of RBS's financial condition
are those relating to pensions, goodwill, provisions for liabilities, deferred tax, loan impairment provisions and fair
value of financial instruments. These critical accounting policies and judgements are described on pages 276 to 279 of
RBS's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. 
 
Going concern 
 
Having reviewed RBS's forecasts, projections and other relevant evidence, the directors have a reasonable expectation that
RBS will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the results for the period ended 30
September 2016 have been prepared on a going concern basis. 
 
2. Pensions 
 
In June 2016, the triennial funding valuation of the Main Scheme of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Pension Fund was
agreed which showed that at 31 December 2015 the value of liabilities exceeded the value of assets. In March 2016, to
mitigate this anticipated deficit, RBS made a cash payment of £4.2 billion. The next triennial valuation is due to occur at
the end of 2018 with agreement on any additional contributions by the end of March 2020. 
 
As at 30 September 2016, the Main Scheme had an unrecognised surplus under IAS19 valuation principles. The surplus is
unrecognised because the trustee's power to enhance member benefits could consume that surplus meaning that RBS does not
control its ability to realise an asset.  The existence of the asset, albeit unrecognised, limits RBS's exposure to changes
in actuarial assumptions and investment performance.

Note: 
 
 (1)  Closing provision predominantly relates to investment advice, packaged accounts (including costs) and tracker mortgages.  
 
 
There are uncertainties as to the eventual cost of redress in relation to certain of the provisions contained in the table
above. Assumptions relating to these are inherently uncertain and the ultimate financial impact may be different from the
amount provided. RBS will continue to monitor the position closely and refresh the underlying assumptions. 
 
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews 
 
RBS's 2016 interim results issued on 5 August 2016 included comprehensive disclosures about RBS's litigation,
investigations and reviews in Note 15. Set out below are the material developments in these matters since the 2016 interim
results were published. RBS generally does not disclose information about the establishment or existence of a provision for
a particular matter where disclosure of the information can be expected to prejudice seriously RBS's position in the
matter. 
 
Litigation 
 
Other securitisation and securities related litigation in the US 
 
On 27 September 2016, RBS Securities Inc. (RBSSI) settled the two mortgage-backed securities (MBS) litigations that the
National Credit Union Administration Board has been litigating on behalf of US Central Federal Credit Union and Western
Corporate Federal Credit Union.  The settlement amount of US$1.1 billion was substantially covered by provisions existing
at 30 June 2016. 
 
Notes 
 
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews (continued) 
 
RBS continues to litigate various other MBS-related civil claims identified in its 2016 interim results, including those of
the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and to respond to investigations by the civil and criminal divisions of the U.S.
Department of Justice and various other members of the RMBS Working Group of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force
(including several state attorneys general). MBS litigation and investigations may require provisions in future periods
that in aggregate could be materially in excess of existing provisions. 
 
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) 
 
As previously disclosed, certain members of the Group have been named as defendants in a number of class actions and
individual claims filed in the US with respect to the setting of LIBOR and certain other benchmark interest rates. On 16
August 2016, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against certain Group companies (including RBSG plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.) and a number of other financial
institutions. The complaint alleges that the defendants conspired to manipulate the Australian Bank Bill Swap Reference
Rate (BBSW) and asserts claims under the U.S. antitrust laws, the Commodity Exchange Act, RICO (Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act), and the common law. RBS anticipates making a motion to dismiss the complaint. 
 
FX antitrust litigation 
 
On 26 September 2016, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York asserting claims on behalf of "indirect purchasers" of FX instruments.  The complaint defines "indirect
purchasers" as persons who were indirectly affected by FX instruments that others entered into directly with defendant
banks or on exchanges. It is alleged that certain RBS companies and other defendant banks caused damages to the "indirect
purchasers" by conspiring to restrain trade in the FX spot market. The complaint seeks damages and other relief under
federal, California, and New York antitrust laws. RBS anticipates making a motion to dismiss the complaint. 
 
Investigations and reviews 
 
Connecticut Department of Banking 
 
As previously disclosed, in June 2016, RBSSI, a U.S. broker-dealer, reached an agreement in principle to resolve
investigations by the office of the Attorney General of Connecticut on behalf of the Connecticut Department of Banking,
concerning RBSSI's underwriting and issuance of mortgage-backed securities and the potential consequences to RBSSI of The
Royal Bank of Scotland plc's (RBS plc's) May 2015 FX-related guilty plea.  The agreement became final on 3 October 2016
through the publication by the Department of Banking of two agreed consent orders without RBSSI admitting or denying the
Department of Banking's allegations.  As required by the RMBS consent order, in addition to making certain undertakings,
RBSSI has paid US$120 million to the State of Connecticut to resolve the investigation. The amount was covered by a
provision that had previously been established. Pursuant to the FX consent order, RBSSI agreed, among other things, to
certify to the Department of Banking its compliance with various obligations undertaken in connection with RBS plc's
FX-related guilty plea and FX-related resolutions with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System. 
 
FCA review of RBS's treatment of SMEs 
 
The FCA published an update on 4 October 2016 confirming that it had received the final Skilled Person's report and that
there were a number of steps for the FCA to complete before being in a position to share its final findings. RBS has been
given the opportunity to review that report. 
 
Notes 
 
4. Litigation, investigations and reviews (continued) 
 
UK retail banking 
 
On 9 August 2016, the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) published its final report on retail banking. The CMA concluded
that there are a number of competition concerns in the provision of personal current accounts (PCAs), business current
accounts and SME lending, particularly around low levels of customers searching and switching, resulting in banks not being
put under enough competitive pressure, and new products and new banks not attracting customers quickly enough. 
 
The final report set out remedies to address these concerns. These include remedies to make it easier for customers to
compare products, ensure customers benefit from technological advantages around open banking, improve the current account
switching service and provide PCA overdraft customers with greater control over their charges, along with additional
measures targeted at SME customers. 
 
The CMA has also been reviewing the undertakings given by certain banks following the Competition Commission's 2002
investigation into SME banking (SME Undertakings). On 9 August 2016, the CMA announced its final decision, which is thatthe
SME Undertakings should be revoked, with the exception of the prohibition on the ability of certain named banks, including
RBS, to bundle (i.e. sell together) business current accounts and SME lending. 
 
At this stage there remains uncertainty around the financial impact of the proposed remedies and it is not practicable to
estimate the potential impact on RBS, which may be material. 
 
FCA wholesale sector competition review 
 
On 18 October 2016, the FCA published its final report following its market study into investment and corporate banking. It
found that whilst many clients feel well served by primary capital market services there were some areas where improvements
could be made to encourage competition, particularly for smaller clients. It set out a package of remedies, including
prohibiting the use of restrictive contractual clauses and ending league table misrepresentation by asking league table
providers to review their recognition criteria. The FCA is to undertake further consultation with regards to the
prohibition on restrictive contractual clauses. Subject to this consultation, the FCA expects to publish the final rules
regarding these restrictive contractual clauses in early 2017. 
 
Enforcement proceedings and investigations in relation to Coutts & Co Ltd 
 
As previously disclosed, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) is taking enforcement proceedings against
Coutts & Co Ltd (Coutts), a member of RBS incorporated in Switzerland, with regard to certain client accounts held with
Coutts relating to allegations in connection with the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB. The proceedings are at an
advanced stage. Coutts is also cooperating with investigations, one of which is at an advanced stage and may conclude in
the near term, and enquiries from authorities in other jurisdictions in relation to the same subject matter. The outcomes
of such proceedings, investigations and enquiries are uncertain but may include financial penalties and/or regulatory
sanctions. 
 
5. Post balance sheet events 
 
Other than matters disclosed, there have been no further significant events between 30 September 2016 and the date of
approval of this announcement.

In Q3 2016 RBS reviewed the value of RBSG plc's (the parent company's) investments in subsidiaries and in light of the
deterioration in the economic outlook reduced the carrying value of the investments by £6.0 billion to £44.7 billion. 
 
Distributable reserves 
 
Owners' equity includes £7.2 billion of distributable reserves at 30 September 2016 (31 December 2015 - £16.3 billion). The
decrease in the period includes a £6.0 billion impairment to the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries in Q3 as
described above, the redemption in Q3 of preference shares issued to third parties (£1.2 billion), the Dividend Access
Share payment in Q1 (£1.2 billion) and other dividends paid (£0.3 billion).

Notes: 
 
 (1)  RBS's CET 1 target is 13% but for the purposes of computing segmental return on equity (ROE), to better reflect the differential drivers of capital usage, segmental operating profit after tax and adjusted for preference dividends is divided by notional    
      equity allocated at different rates of 11% (Commercial Banking and Ulster Bank RoI), 12% (RBS International) and 15% for all other segments, of the monthly average of segmental risk-weighted assets incorporating the effect capital deductions (RWAes). RBS  
      Return on equity is calculated using profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders.
