PART 3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
CHANGES IN REPORTING OF GROUP STRUCTURE IN 2000
From 1st January 2000, Barclaycard became a separate business unit. Retail
Financial Services now comprises Retail Customers and Wealth Management.
Within Other operations, costs relating to the central administration of
certain operational property costs have been combined with Barclays Group
Property Services under the heading Property Costs.
Comparative figures have been restated for the above changes.
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
There have been no significant acquisitions since 31st December 1999.
Details of significant disposals in the period are set out under exceptional
items on page 18.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Changes to the Group's accounting policies have occurred following the
adoption in 2000 of Financial Reporting Standard 15 'Tangible Fixed Assets'
(FRS 15) and Financial Reporting Standard 16 'Current Tax' (FRS 16).
The Group has applied the transitional rules available under FRS 15. The
revalued book amounts of fixed assets will be retained without subsequent
revaluation subject to the requirement to test for impairment. This change
has had no impact on reported profit or shareholders' funds.
In accordance with FRS 16 incoming dividends, interest and other income now
exclude taxes, such as attributable tax credits, not payable wholly on
behalf of the Group. This change in policy has resulted in a reduction in
profit before tax for 1999 of £5m of which £3m occurred in the first six
months with a commensurate reduction in the tax charge. Shareholders' funds
are unchanged by this change in policy.
There have been no other significant changes to the accounting policies as
described in the 1999 Annual Report.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRESENTATION
There have been no changes in accounting presentation from that reflected in
the 1999 Annual report.

6. Potential credit risk lendings
The following table presents 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 amounts, the geographical presentation of which is based on the
location of the office recording the transaction, are stated before
deduction of the value of security held, specific provisions carried or
interest suspended.

UK non-performing lendings were at a similar level to 31st December 1999
with increases in consumer lending balances (including credit card
receivables) being offset by reductions in other portfolios.
Potential problem lendings: In addition to the above, the following
table shows lendings which are current as to payment of principal and
interest, but where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the
borrower to comply with repayment terms in the near future.

related to banks, £0.2bn (31st December 1999: £0.4bn, 30th June 1999:
£0.3bn) to governments and £0.6bn (31st December 1999: £0.6bn, 30th June
1999: £0.5bn) to other corporate bodies, including project finance
companies, and was mainly in respect of loans, off-balance sheet
financial instruments and debt securities. Off-balance sheet financial
instruments and debt securities are marked to market.
The Group has a Brazilian associate, Banco Barclays e Galicia SA, which
is equity accounted. At 30th June 2000 the 50% holding was included in
the balance sheet at a value of £27m (31st December 1999: £33m, 30th
June 1999: £48m), which is included in the figures above.
During the half year the general provision in respect of country
transfer risk arising from the Group's business world wide, including
exposure in these countries, remained unchanged at £57m at 30th June
2000. This is in addition to £594m of general provision held against
credit risk.
8. Cross-border outstandings
At 30th June 2000, countries where Barclays cross-border outstandings
exceeded 1% of assets were Germany, United States, France and the
Netherlands. In this context, assets comprise total assets as presented
in the consolidated balance sheet and include acceptances. On this
basis total assets amounted to £287,852m at 30th June 2000 (31st
December 1999: £256,308m).

1999 the countries in this category were Canada at £2,166m and Japan at
£2,154m.
9. Costs for 2000 - UK Entry to EMU
Barclays is maintaining a prudent programme to validate and develop
further our existing plans and to conduct feasibility studies with
selected suppliers/partners.
Given the considerable uncertainty that continues to surround whether
and when the UK may enter, it has not been possible to draw any definite
conclusions as to the final overall cost of preparing retail systems and
operations.
10. Legal proceedings
Barclays is party to various legal proceedings, the ultimate resolution
of which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Group.

14.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 Risk Management Committee, which also determines overall market
risk appetite. 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 trading activities
In Barclays Capital, the formal process for the management of risk is
through the Barclays Capital 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.
For most of the first quarter, DVAR was maintained at around the 1999
year end level of £20.2m. However, interest rate exposures in the fixed
income markets were significantly reduced by the end of March and
remained low during the second quarter. Total DVAR of £12.7m was
recorded on 30th June 2000. Barclays Capital continues to pursue market
opportunities as they arise, which could result in increased exposures
during the second half of 2000.
Barclays Capital uses the historical simulation method for calculating
DVAR. At the beginning of 2000, the length of the historical sample was
increased from one to two years. This change has not had a material
impact on the reported numbers. The daily average, maximum and minimum
values of DVAR, calculated using a one year sample for 1999 and a two
year sample in 2000 were estimated as below.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT BY THE AUDITORS
Independent review report to the Board of Directors of Barclays PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information
set out on pages 7, 9 and 55 and we have read the other information
contained in the interim report for any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein,
is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The
Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority require that the
accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should
be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts
except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review consists
principally of making enquiries of group management and applying analytical
procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data, and
based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review
excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of
assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore
provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not
express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six
months ended 30th June 2000.
