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.

The United Kingdom coverage ratios at December reflected the incorporation of Woolwich plc where the high level of security held against the exposures reduces the level of provisions required. The increase in classified loans and reduction in coverage ratios for the Rest of the World largely reflects the inclusion for 2001 of the Brazilian operation Banco Barclays e Galicia SA.

As at 31st December 2000 this holding was included in the balance sheet as an associated undertaking at a value of £31m (31st December 1999: £33m). From 1st January 2001, following the completion of management changes, the Group considered itself to exert dominant influence so that it had control over the operations of Banco Barclays e Galicia SA. The entity is now consolidated as a subsidiary in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 2. During the first half of 2001 the general provision in respect of country transfer risk arising from the Group's business world wide, including exposures in these countries, reduced to £56m (£57m as at 31st December 2000). This is in addition to £711m of general provision held against credit risk. 8. Cross-border outstandings At 30th June 2001 countries where Barclays cross-border outstandings exceeded 1% of assets were Germany, United States and France. In this context, assets comprise total assets as presented in the consolidated balance sheet and include acceptances. On this basis total assets amounted to £366,286m at 30th June 2001 (31 December 2000 £317,325m). Cross-border outstandings exceeding 1% of assets As % Total of assets £m At 30th June 2001 Germany 2.0 7,355 United States 1.8 6,766 At 31st December 2000 Germany 2.4 7,505 United States 1.9 6,104 Japan 1.1 3,493 As at 30th June 2001, the countries with aggregate cross-border outstandings between 0.75% and 1% of total Group Assets were France at £3,584m, Netherlands at £3,556m and Japan at £2,314m. At 31st December 2000 the countries in this category were Netherlands £3,174m and France £2,571m. 9. European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) Barclays is maintaining a prudent programme to validate and develop further its existing plans and to conduct 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 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. 11.

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 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 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 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 new 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 governments 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 £17.0m for the first half of 2001 compared to £17.1m for the second half of 2000. The new basis compared to the old basis, has on average, led to an increase in reported DVAR of £3.1m. The impact has ranged from a reduction of £0.3m to an increase of £6.0m. As at 30th June 2001 DVAR was £22.9m under the new basis and £22.2m under the old basis (old basis, 31st December 2000 £19.0m, 30th June 2000 £12.7m).

The pro forma results for the six months ended 31st December 2000 and six months ended 30th June 2000 have been prepared on the following basis: Changes in accounting policies. The results for Woolwich plc have been restated using Barclays Group accounting policies. This has resulted in mortgage incentives and software costs, previously capitalised and amortised, being expensed as incurred. Changes in accounting estimates The results for Woolwich plc have been adjusted to reflect the Barclays depreciation rates and other accounting estimates. Adjustment to reflect net funding of the acquisition of Woolwich plc Interest received has been reduced by £52m in the six months to 30th June 2000 and £76m in the six months to 31st December 2000 to reflect interest foregone had the cash element of the acquisition been paid on 1st January 2000. This is based on the assumption that the amount would have been deposited at the internal transfer price of cash, which is calculated based on an average of one-month sterling LIBOR over the period. Results of businesses disposed of The results of any businesses disposed of during 2000 by either Barclays or Woolwich plc have been eliminated, together with any profits or losses on disposal. Proceeds of £286m are assumed to have been received on 1st January 2000 and interest received adjusted on the same basis as for the funding adjustment above. No adjustment is made for acquisitions and disposals in 2001, the affect of which is immaterial. Goodwill amortisation. Amortisation of £103m per six month period based on goodwill balance of £4,121m over its estimated economic life of 20 years has been included in the pro forma accounts. Costs of acquisition Incremental costs incurred by Woolwich plc in relation to the acquisition have not been included.
