Final Results - Part 2 of 2

Barclays PLC 14 February 2002 PART 2 OF 2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CHANGES IN REPORTING OF GROUP STRUCTURE IN 2001 During 2000, significant changes were made to the Group's organisational structure, moving from five major business groups to an organisation based on strategic business units (SBUs), which are supported by shared services. Each SBU has been tasked with identifying and implementing value-maximising strategies, and achieving these by creating advantage for customers through superior products and services. From 1st January 2001, for reporting purposes, the SBUs have been organised into the following business groups: - Personal Financial Services (previously UK Personal Customers) - Woolwich - Barclays Private Clients (previously Wealth Management) - Barclaycard - Business Banking - Africa - Barclays Capital - Barclays Global Investors Group structure changes from 2000 The figures in the business group analyses have been restated to take account of the following changes relative to 2000: Retail Financial Services is presented as three separate business groups for reporting purposes - Personal Financial Services, Woolwich and Barclays Private Clients. The Masterloan consumer lending business, the Investment Management business and Barclays mortgage business were all part of UK Personal Customers. The Masterloan business is now part of Barclaycard, the Investment Management business is now part of Barclays Private Clients and the Barclays mortgage business is now part of Woolwich. UK Small Business is now reported within Business Banking and Africa (including Egypt) is reported separately. The wholesale clients within the UK and international large commercial banking businesses previously reported within Corporate Banking are now managed by and reported within Barclays Capital. The majority of central and head office costs have been re-allocated to the business groups based on the utilisation of the services supplied. Operating profit for business groups includes allocations of earnings on centrally held group capital based on economic capital. These were previously allocated on the basis of regulatory capital. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS During 2001 the Group increased its shareholding in Banco Barclays SA (formerly Banco Barclays e Galicia SA) from 50% to over 99%. The entity has been consolidated as a subsidiary undertaking since 1st January 2001. Details of disposals are set out under exceptional items on page 27. ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no significant changes to the Group's accounting policies following the adoption in 2001 of Financial Reporting Standard 18 'Accounting Policies'. There have been no other significant changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2000 Annual Report. Financial Reporting Standard 19 'Deferred Tax' and Financial Reporting Standard 17 'Retirement Benefits' will be fully effective for the years ending 31st December 2002 and 2003 respectively. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRESENTATION Barclays Capital operating profit now includes internal fees received from management of Group capital in relation to structured capital market activities. Operating profit for business groups includes allocations of notional interest based on economic capital. For geographic analysis of the profit before tax, earnings on capital were allocated on the basis of the geographic location of capital. Previously earnings on capital were allocated on the basis of regulatory capital. Credit risk and country risk provisions for bad and doubtful debts are reported in total having previously been shown separately. Country risk provisions are now included in the coverage ratios for potential credit risk lendings. Credit derivatives are now reported separately having previously been incorporated within the interest rate category. Following the strategic alliance with Legal & General, costs relating to the regulated salesforce and field sales managers have been included in staff costs and their headcount included in Group staff numbers with effect from 1st August 2001. Prior to that date these costs were borne within the long term assurance fund and their headcount excluded from Group staff numbers. Costs have increased by £31m in 2001 as a result of this change. There have been no other changes in accounting presentation from that reflected in the 2000 Annual Report. GROUP SHARE SCHEMES The trustees of the Group's share schemes may make purchases of Barclays PLC ordinary shares in the market at any time or times following this announcement of the Group's results for the purposes of those schemes' current and future requirements. The total number of ordinary shares purchased would not be material in relation to the issued share capital of Barclays PLC. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS As announced on 31st October 2001, Barclays and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ('CIBC') have signed an agreement to combine their retail, corporate and offshore banking operations in the Caribbean to create FirstCaribbean International Bank ('FirstCaribbean'). Implementation of the combination is subject to, among other things, the receipt of certain approvals from government and regulatory authorities and shareholders of CIBC West Indies Holdings Limited ('CWIHL') and CIBC Bahamas Limited. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first half of 2002. Barclays will account for its interest in FirstCaribbean as an associated undertaking under UK accounting standards. At the time the transaction was announced, it was expected to result in an economic profit for Barclays in the region of £250m in respect of the disposal of its share of its existing Caribbean operations which will be recognised in the statement of total recognised gains and losses and goodwill of around £175m to arise in Barclays on the acquisition of its share of CWIHL. No significant change is currently expected to those amounts, except to the extent goodwill alters due to fair value adjustments, exchange rate movements and transaction costs. The transaction is expected to increase Barclays Tier 1 capital ratio and, going forward, to have a positive impact on earnings before goodwill and fair value amortisation, primarily as a result of synergies. On 1st November 2001, Barclaycard and Xansa (an IT services company) announced their intention to create a strategic alliance to deliver IT services to Barclaycard. Around 450 Barclaycard employees have transferred to Xansa from 1st February 2002. Barclays announced on 28th November 2001 that it has signed an agreement with Canary Wharf Limited to develop a new headquarters building in Docklands to bring together the majority of the non-branch employees who are currently based in the City and West End of London. Barclays will be seeking shareholder approval at the AGM on 25th April 2002 for the subdivision of each Barclays PLC ordinary share of £1 each (issued and unissued) into four ordinary shares of 25p each. If approved, this share split would be implemented as soon as practicable after the AGM. NOTES 1.

Potential credit risk lendings The following tables present an analysis of potential credit risk lendings in accordance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Additional categories of disclosure are included, however, to record lendings where interest continues to be accrued and where either interest is being suspended or specific provisions have been raised. Normal US banking practice would be to place such lendings on non-accrual status. The geographical presentation is based on the location of the office recording the transaction. Amounts are stated before deduction of the value of security held, specific provisions carried or interest suspended.

UK non-performing loans increased by £214m to £2,963m reflecting increases in both personal and corporate lending balances. UK potential problem loans increased by £240m, primarily relating to corporate lending positions. Non-performing loans in the rest of the world were £451m, an increase of £148m, primarily reflecting the consolidation of Banco Barclays SA (formerly Banco Barclays e Galicia SA). US non-performing loans increased by £196m to £317m reflecting the inclusion of a small number of large loans where the expected loss is not likely to be significant. US coverage also reflects the practice of writing off non-performing loans earlier than is the practice in other geographic areas. 2001 2000 £m £m Interest forgone on non-performing lendings: Interest income that would have been recognised under original contractual terms 279 246 Interest income included in profit (50) (48) Interest forgone 229 198 7. Exposure to countries subject to International Monetary Fund liquidity support programmes Amounts outstanding, net of provisions, and commitments to counterparties in countries which make significant use of International Monetary Fund liquidity support programmes were as follows: 2001 2000 £bn £bn Europe Turkey 0.2 * Asia Indonesia 0.1 0.1 South Korea * 0.2 Thailand * 0.1 0.1 0.4 Latin America Argentina 0.3 0.9 Brazil 0.7 * 1.0 0.9 Total 1.3 1.3 * Did not make significant use of IMF liquidity support programmes at the end of the year.

European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) The changes required to deal with the introduction of euro notes and coins on 1st January 2002, and the demise of the eurozone currencies were delivered successfully. United Kingdom entry to EMU Barclays is maintaining a prudent planning programme to validate and develop further its existing plans and is conducting feasibility studies with selected suppliers and partners. Given the considerable uncertainty that continues to surround whether and when the UK may enter, it has not been possible to draw any definitive conclusions as to the final overall costs of preparing retail systems and operations. Barclays incurred minimal expenditure during 2001 with respect to any decision to introduce the euro in the UK. No significant incremental costs are expected in 2002. 9. Legal proceedings Barclays is party to various legal proceedings, the ultimate resolution of which is not expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Group. 10.

Other interest rate related contracts are primarily exchange traded options and futures. Derivatives entered into as trading transactions, together with any associated hedging thereof, are measured at fair value and the resultant profits and losses are included in dealing profits. The tables below summarise the positive and negative fair values of such derivatives, including an adjustment for netting where the Group has the ability to insist on net settlement which is assured beyond reasonable doubt, based on a legal right that would survive the insolvency of the counterparty.

Market risk Market Risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the level or volatility of market prices which can occur in the interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity markets. It is incurred as a result of both trading and asset/liability management activities. The market risk management policies of the Group are determined by the Group Governance and Control Committee. The Group's policy is that exposure to market risk arising from trading activities is concentrated in Barclays Capital. The Group's banking businesses are also subject to market risk, which arises in relation to non-trading positions, such as capital balances, demand deposits and customer originated transactions and flows. The Group uses a 'value at risk' measure as the primary mechanism for controlling market risk. Daily Value at Risk (DVaR) is an estimate, with a confidence level of 98%, of the potential loss which might arise if the current positions were to be held unchanged for one business day. Daily losses exceeding the DVaR figure are likely to occur, on average, only twice in every one hundred business days. Actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the validity of the assumptions made in the calculation of DVaR. Barclays Capital In Barclays Capital, the formal process for the management of risk is through the Barclays Capital Risk Management Committee and Group Risk Management Committee. Day-to-day responsibility for market risk lies with the Chief Executive of Barclays Capital, supported by a dedicated global market risk management unit that operates independently of the business areas. Barclays Capital uses the historical simulation method for calculating DVaR. The length of the historical sample is two years. In August 2000, Barclays Capital introduced an enhanced historical simulation methodology for calculating DVaR. The previous methodology segregated interest rate exposures into two categories: government and non-government. For risk measurement purposes, all non-government exposures were assumed to trade at LIBOR, and were therefore implicitly assumed to have the same price volatility as an interest rate swap. The enhanced methodology maps interest rate exposures into eight categories: government, interest rate swaps and six credit grades for non-government exposures. The greater definition provided allows the system to discriminate between the market risk of holding bonds with different credit qualities, for example AAA securities as against non-investment grade securities. In particular, it provides a better measure of the effectiveness of hedging strategies such as shorting government bonds or swaps against non-government bond portfolios. It has not been possible to apply the new methodology retrospectively to daily positions prior to August 2000 and so the figures tabulated below are based on the old methodology. On this basis there has been no significant change in overall market risk exposure in 2001 with DVaR averaging £16.9m in 2001 compared to £17.5m for 2000. The new basis compared to the old basis, has on average, led to an increase in reported DVaR of £2.0m since inception. The impact has ranged from a reduction of £2.9m to an increase of £6.0m. As at 31st December 2001 DVaR was £21.3m under the new basis and £23.0m under the old basis (2000 old basis: £19.0m). DVaR Twelve months to Twelve months to 31st December 2001 31st December 2000 Average High* Low* Average High* Low* £m £m £m £m £m £m Interest rate risk 15.9 24.5 10.2 16.2 23.7 10.7 Foreign exchange 2.3 6.2 0.6 2.9 4.7 1.8 risk Equities risk 3.3 6.4 2.1 3.9 7.1 1.4 Commodities risk 1.7 4.3 0.6 1.4 3.5 0.9 Diversification (6.3) (6.9) effect Total DVaR 16.9 24.4 11.0 17.5 27.7 11.5 * The high (and low) DVaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high (and low) DVaR reported as a whole. A corresponding diversification effect cannot be calculated and is therefore omitted from the above table.
