Notes 
 
1. Basis of preparation 
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with RBS's 2013 Annual Report and Accounts
which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 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 
 
There have been no significant changes to RBS's principal accounting policies as set out on pages 377 to 386 of the 2013
Annual Report and Accounts. The adoption of a number of amendments to IFRSs effective for 2014 has not had a material
effect on RBS's results. 
 
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 judgments are described on pages 386 to 389 of RBS's
2013 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 Interim Management Statement for
the period ended 30 September 2014 has been prepared on a going concern basis. 
 
Restatements 
 
On 27 February 2014, RBS announced the reorganisation of the previously reported operating divisions into 
 
three franchises. In addition, in order to present a more complete picture of funding, operational and business costs of
the franchises and operating segments, certain reporting changes were implemented. 
 
For further information on these changes refer to the Q2 2014 Restatement Document dated 21 July 2014, available on
www.investors.rbs.com/restatement

Note: 
 
 (1)  The analysis of income from trading activities is based on how the business is organised and the underlying risks managed. Income from trading activities comprises gains and losses on financial instruments held for trading, both realised and unrealised, interest income, dividends and the related hedging and funding costs in the trading book.  
 
 
Notes 
 
3. Earnings per ordinary and equivalent B share 
 
Following agreement between RBS and Her Majesty's Treasury for the retirement of the Dividend Access Share (DAS), earnings
per share for periods ended after 25 June 2014 only reflect DAS dividends recognised before the end of a reporting period:
£320 million was recognised in the quarter ended 30 June 2014. For periods ending on or before 31 March 2014 earnings are
allocated solely to the DAS and earnings per ordinary and equivalent B share for such periods are therefore nil.  The DAS
does not share in losses.  For periods prior to 25 June 2014, adjusted earnings per ordinary and equivalent B share
excludes the rights of the dividend access share.

5. Litigation, investigations and reviews 
 
Except for the developments noted below, there have been no material changes to litigation, investigations and reviews as
disclosed in the Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2014. Other regulatory provisions increased by £500
million (see Note 4) during the three month period ended 30 September 2014, £400 million of which was in connection with
the investigations and reviews around foreign exchange trading. Although RBS has established a provision with respect to
these investigations, the effect of the outcome of these investigations, any regulatory findings and any related
developments, including the timing and amount of fines or settlements, could result in the future outflow of resources in
respect of these investigations ultimately proving to be substantially greater than or less than the aggregate provision
RBS has recognised.

of persons who entered into transactions that referenced those rates.  The complaints were
