make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.  Where accounting
standards are not specific and Management have to choose a policy, IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors', requires them to adopt policies that will result in relevant and reliable information in the light
of the requirements and guidance in IFRSs dealing with similar and related issues and the IASB Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. 
 
The judgements and assumptions involved in the Group's accounting policies that are considered to be the most important to
the portrayal of its financial condition are discussed below. The use of estimates, assumptions or models that differ from
those adopted by the Group would affect its reported results. 
 
Loan impairment provisions 
 
The Group's loan impairment provisions are established to recognise incurred impairment losses in its portfolio of customer
loans classified as loans and receivables and carried at amortised cost. A loan is impaired when there is objective
evidence that events since the loan was granted have affected expected cash flows from the loan. The impairment loss is the
difference between the carrying value of the loan and the present value of estimated future cash flows at the loan's
original EIR. 
 
The Group's loan impairment provisions are established on a portfolio basis using a statistical methodology taking into
account the level of arrears, collateral, past loss experience and defaults based on portfolio trends. The most significant
factors in establishing these provisions are the expected loss rates. These portfolios include Mortgages, Credit Card
receivables, Personal Loans and Personal Current Accounts. The future credit quality of these portfolios is subject to
uncertainties that could cause actual credit losses to differ materially from reported loan impairment provisions. 
 
The key assumptions used in the statistical models are the probability of default; the expected cash recoveries included in
the loss given default; and the loss emergence period. These key assumptions are monitored throughout the year to ensure
the impairment provision takes into account the most recent trends observed in each portfolio. 
 
The table below shows a sensitivity analysis of key assumptions, demonstrating the impact on the unsecured Personal Loan
receivables provision and the unsecured Credit Card receivables provision, respectively, of a variation in each.

Individual impairment losses on secured Mortgages are estimated using an individual valuation of the underlying asset.
Although the portfolio is growing, sensitivity to movement in the House Price Index remains relatively low. 
 
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in further detail in note 9.

2.             Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies (continued) 
 
Effective interest rate (EIR) 
 
IAS 39 requires the Group to measure the interest earned on its Credit Cards portfolio by applying the EIR methodology. The
main area of judgement in measuring the EIR on the Group's Credit Card portfolio is the expected attrition of the balances
drawn at the reporting date. 
 
Management use a pay rates assumption to determine the expected repayment profile of the balances drawn as at the reporting
date to the expected remaining term (capped to a maximum of 5 years from origination). 
 
An increase of the pay rates assumption by 10% will reduce the asset value by £1.9m and a corresponding reduction of the
pay rates assumption will increase the asset value by £2.0m. 
 
Provision for customer redress 
 
The Group has a provision for potential customer redress in relation to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).  Refer to note
27 for further details, including the key assumptions made in arriving at each element of this provision and a sensitivity
analysis of key assumptions in the PPI model. 
 
Investment in joint venture 
 
The Group holds an investment in a joint venture, Tesco Underwriting Limited (TU), an authorised insurance company, and
recognises the carrying value of its investment and the Group's share of TU's results using the equity method of accounting
(see note 1 for further details). 
 
TU's results are sensitive to changes in the insurance reserves it recognises in respect of insurance policies written, net
of reinsurance.  Consequently, material increases in these reserves could have an impact on the carrying value of the
investment in the Company and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 
 
The impact of any increase in reserves is determined by TU's ability to amend its pricing to reflect the increased costs of
providing cover under the policies written. 
 
A key element of the reserving calculation is the application of the Ogden tables, which are used to calculate the cost of
any claim that involves compensation for loss of future benefits.  The tables provide an estimate of the return to be
expected from the investment of a lump sum damages award.  A discount rate of 2.5% was set in 2001 and was previously used
by TU in assessing its reserves for relevant cases. 
 
Following a consultation by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), which was launched in August 2012, a new rate of -0.75% was set
by the MoJ on 27 February 2017 and is effective from 20 March 2017. The impact of this in TU was a post-tax charge of
£45.7m, of which the Group has recognised £22.8m in the Consolidated Income Statement for the year through its share of
TU's results.  The carrying value of the Group's investment in TU has been correspondingly reduced by an equivalent amount.
 A full reconciliation of the Group's carrying value of TU is set out at note 20. 
 
A reduction in the Ogden rate for 2017 to -1.0% would decrease the carrying value of the Group's investment in TU by £0.4m.
An increase in the Ogden rate for 2017 to +1.0% would increase the carrying value of the Group's investment in TU by
£0.7m.

3.             Segmental Reporting 
 
Following the measurement approach of IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments', the Group's operating segments are reported in
accordance with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors, which is responsible for allocating resources to
the operating segments and assessing their performance. 
 
During the year, the Group underwent an organisational restructure which combined the Banking and Insurance businesses
together into a single function, enabling reporting of business results to the Board of Directors, as chief operating
decision-maker, to be streamlined to a single segment focussed upon the customer. 
 
The reportable segments at 28 February 2017 have therefore reduced from two segments (Banking and Insurance) to one
segment, covering all of the Group's activities.  Accordingly, prior periods have been restated to present a single
reportable segment, the results of which are set out in the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position.

The standard rate of corporation tax in the UK was changed from 21% to 20% with effect from 1 April 2015. This gives a
blended Corporation Tax rate for the Group for the full year of 20.0% (2016: 20.1%).  In addition, a banking surcharge of
8% was introduced with effect from 1 January 2016. 
 
The tax assessed for the full year is lower (2016: lower) than that calculated using the overall blended Corporation Tax
rate for the Group. The differences are explained below:

*The majority of the adjustment relates to the non deductibility of an additional PPI provision of £45.0m recognised in the
year. 
 
**The 2016 adjustment in respect of prior years arises largely as a result of group relief being made available to the
Company from the Tesco PLC tax group, reducing the tax charge in respect of 2015 by £35.4m. 
 
**The 2017 adjustment in respect of prior years arises largely as a result of group relief being made available to the
Company from the Tesco PLC tax group, reducing the tax charge in respect of 2016 by £48.8m.

In July 2015 the Summer Budget Statement included an announcement that the standard rate of corporation tax would be
reduced to 19% from 1 April 2017, and further reduced to 18% from 1 April 2020. The March 2016 Budget Statement included an
announcement that the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK would be further reduced to 17% from 1 April 2020. All of
these rate reductions were enacted by the reporting date and are therefore incorporated in these Financial Statements.  The
changes are expected to reduce the Group's effective tax rate in the medium term.

15.           Derivative Financial Instruments 
 
Strategy in using derivative financial instruments 
 
The objective when using a derivative financial instrument is to ensure that the risk to reward profile of a transaction is
optimised, allowing the Group to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk. The intention is to
only use derivatives to create economically effective hedges. There are specific requirements stipulated under IAS 39 which
must be met for a derivative to qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, not all derivatives can be designated as being
in an accounting hedge relationship, either because natural accounting offsets are expected or because obtaining hedge
accounting would be especially onerous. 
 
For those derivatives where hedge accounting is applied, gains and losses are offset by hedge adjustments in the
Consolidated Income Statement. For those derivatives held for economic hedging purposes which cannot be designated as being
in an accounting hedge relationship, the gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.   In the
Statement of Financial Position there is no distinction between derivatives where hedge accounting is applied and
derivatives which cannot be designated as being in an accounting hedge relationship. 
 
Fair value hedge 
 
The Group's risk management objective of creating economically effective hedges is to use interest rate contracts to swap
fixed rate exposures back to a floating rate LIBOR basis where no existing offset is available.  This includes the hedging
of fixed rate Personal Loans, Mortgages and certain Savings balances, holdings of fixed rate investment securities and
issuances of fixed rate debt, which protects the Group against the fair value volatility of these financial assets and
financial liabilities due to movements in interest rates. Each swap is defined as hedging one or more fixed rate assets or
liabilities. 
 
Cash flow hedge 
 
The Group held five inflation linked interest rate swaps (2016: five) as cash flow hedges to mitigate the variability in
cash flows associated with an inflation linked debt security issued by the Bank. The cash flows are expected to occur over
the term to maturity in December 2019. 
 
Ineffectiveness recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement in respect of cash flow hedges for the 12 months to 28
February 2017 was £nil (2016: £nil). Amounts are recycled from the cash flow hedge reserve when the underlying hedge item
affects the Consolidated Income Statement. Therefore as the carrying value of the asset or liability is adjusted in respect
of movements in the hedged risk, recycled amounts directly offset this adjustment within net interest income. Recycled
amounts for the 12 months to 28 February 2017 were £2.3m (2016: £2.8m).

Derivatives not in a hedge relationship 
 
All derivative financial instruments are held for economic hedging purposes, although not all derivatives are designated as
hedging instruments under the terms of IAS 39.  The Group has the following derivative contracts in economic hedge
relationships but not in accounting hedge relationships: 
 
·      Foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps used to hedge the exchange rate risk
inherent in cash flows from foreign currency assets 
 
·      Interest rate swaps that were not previously held in hedge accounting relationships and are viewed as trading
derivatives under IAS 39. 
 
The analysis below splits derivatives between those classified in hedge accounting relationships and those not in hedge
accounting relationships.

There were no impairment charges within the year (2016: £nil). 
 
Available-for-sale 
 
Included in investment securities are fixed-interest investment securities totalling £883.2m (2016: £907.1m) and
variable-interest investment securities amounting to £81.2m (2016: £73.0m). 
 
The equity security above relates to the fair value of the Group's interest in VISA Inc.  The prior year value of £3.5m
related to the fair value of the Group's investment in VISA Europe Limited.  Following closing of the deal by VISA Inc. to
acquire VISA Europe Limited on 21 June 2016, the Group disposed of its investment in VISA Europe Limited for consideration
of £4.2m. 
 
As part of the transaction, the Group also acquired an interest in preferred stock issued by VISA Inc during the period,
the estimated fair value of which is £1.7m at 28 February 2017.  The preferred stock may be convertible into Class A Common
Stock of VISA Inc. at certain future dates, the earliest point being June 2020.  Conversion is contingent upon future
events, principally related to the outcome of interchange litigation against VISA Europe Limited.  As such, the valuation
of £1.7m reflects both an illiquidity discount and the risk of a reduction in the conversion rate to VISA Inc. common
stock.  The reduction in the conversion rate is the most significant unobservable input to the valuation. 
 
Loans and receivables 
 
The investment in subordinated debt issued by TU relates to subordinated notes of £34.1m (2016: £34.1m).  Interest
receivable on these notes is based on a rate of three month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 350 - 450 basis points (2016:
350 - 450 basis points).  No impairment charges were recognised in respect of this investment (2016: £nil).

19.           Investment in Group Undertakings 
 
The following companies are accounted for as subsidiaries of the Group. These are securitisation structured entities
established in connection with the Group's Credit Card securitisation transactions. Although none of the equity of the
securitisation structured entities is owned by the Company, the nature of these entities means that the Group has the
rights to variable returns from its involvement with these securitisation structured entities and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over them. As such they are effectively controlled by the Group. The Company does not hold
any investments in Group undertakings.

Work in progress relates primarily to the internal development of IT software assets. Intangible asset balances are
non-current. 
 
During the year, the Group reassessed the useful life of certain of its intangible fixed assets, reducing the expected life
to a maximum of one year.  This reduction in useful life reflects the impact of business restructuring commenced during the
first half of the financial year which has continued over the second half of 2016/17.  The impact of this change has been
to increase the amortisation charge by £19.0m over 2016/17, primarily arising from the residual amortisation of the Group's
insurance platform which will be replaced in 2017.  As this represents a change in accounting estimate, no prior year
adjustment is required.
