Key points
|
· |
The movement in available-for-sale financial assets reflects net unrealised gains on sovereign bonds. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Currency translation losses largely result from the 3.4% weakening of the US dollar against sterling during the quarter. |
|
|
|
|
· |
The tax charge for Q4 2011 included a £664 million write-off of deferred tax assets in The Netherlands associated with available-for-sale assets in the liquidity portfolio. |

Commentary on condensed consolidated balance sheet
Total assets of £1,403.0 billion at 31 March 2012 were down £103.8 billion, 7%, compared with 31 December 2011. This was principally driven by a decrease in the mark-to-market value of derivatives and a reduction in loans and advances to banks and customers.
Cash and balances at central banks increased £3.1 billion, 4%, to £82.4 billion principally due to the placing of short term surpluses.
Loans and advances to banks decreased £12.6 billion, 15%, to £70.7 billion. Within this, reverse repurchase agreements and stock borrowing ('reverse repos') were down £4.8 billion, 12%, to £34.6 billion and bank placings declined £7.8 billion, 18%, to £36.1 billion.
Loans and advances to customers declined £18.7 billion, 4%, to £496.9 billion. Within this, reverse repurchase agreements were down £5.0 billion, 8%, to £56.5 billion. Customer lending decreased by £13.7 billion, 3%, to £440.4 billion, or £13.4 billion, 3%, to £460.5 billion before impairments. This reflected planned reductions in Non-Core of £6.1 billion, along with declines in International Banking, £4.0 billion, Markets, £2.3 billion, UK Corporate, £0.9 billion, and Ulster Bank, £0.1 billion, together with the effect of exchange rate and other movements, £2.9 billion. These were partially offset by growth in UK Retail, £1.8 billion, US Retail & Commercial, £1.0 billion and Wealth, £0.1 billion.
Debt securities were down £13.1 billion, 6%, to £195.9 billion, driven mainly by reductions in holdings of Government securities within Markets and Group Treasury.
Equity shares increased £2.4 billion, 16%, to £17.6 billion reflecting seasonal increases in holdings.
Settlement balances increased £13.2 billion to £21.0 billion as a result of increased customer activity from seasonal year-end lows.
Movements in the value of derivative assets, down £76.3 billion, 14%, to £453.4 billion, and liabilities, down £77.4 billion, 15% to £446.5 billion, primarily reflect the mark-to-market movements on interest rate contracts and the effect of currency movements, with Sterling strengthening against both the US dollar and the Euro.
Deposits by banks decreased £1.7 billion, 2%, to £107.1 billion, with a decrease in inter-bank deposits, down £3.4 billion, 5%, to £65.7 billion partly offset by higher repurchase agreements and stock lending ('repos'), up £1.7 billion, 4%, to £41.4 billion.
Customer accounts were down £5.4 billion, 1%, to £497.5 billion. Within this, repos decreased £1.5 billion, 2%, to £87.3 billion. Excluding repos, customer deposits were down £3.9 billion, 1%, at £410.2 billion, reflecting decreases in Markets, £1.7 billion, UK Corporate, £1.8 billion, Ulster Bank, £0.7 billion, Non-Core, £0.6 billion and exchange and other movements, £2.5 billion. This was partly offset by increases in UK Retail, £2.4 billion, US Retail & Commercial, £0.6 billion, and International Banking, £0.4 billion.
Commentary on condensed consolidated balance sheet (continued)
Debt securities in issue declined £19.7 billion, 12%, to £142.9 billion largely due to the maturity of government guaranteed medium term notes within Markets and Group Treasury.
Settlement balances increased £10.1 billion to £17.6 billion as a result of increased customer activity from seasonal year-end lows.
Short positions were down £3.7 billion, 9%, to £37.3 billion, mirroring decreases in debt securities.
Subordinated liabilities were down £0.8 billion, 3%, to £25.5 billion, primarily reflecting the £0.6 billion net decrease in dated loan capital as a result of the liability management exercise completed in March 2012, with redemptions of £3.4 billion offset by the issuance of £2.8 billion new capital, together with exchange rate movements and other adjustments of £0.2 billion.
Owners' equity decreased by £1.4 billion, 2%, to £73.4 billion, due to the attributable loss for the period of £1.5 billion and exchange and other movements of £0.5 billion, partially offset by positive movements in available-for-sale reserves of £0.5 billion and the issue of £0.1 billion new ordinary shares in settlement of deferred variable compensation awards.

1. Basis of preparation
Having reviewed the Group's forecasts, projections and other relevant evidence, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 31 March 2012 has been prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Accounting policies
The annual accounts are 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).

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)
To reflect current experience of PPI complaints received, the Group has strengthened its provision for PPI by £125 million in Q1 2012, bringing the cumulative charge taken to £1.2 billion, of which £501 million in redress had been paid by 31 March 2012. The eventual cost is dependent upon complaint volumes, uphold rates and average redress costs. Assumptions relating to these are inherently uncertain and the ultimate financial impact may be different than the amount provided. The Group will continue to monitor the position closely and refresh its assumptions as more information becomes available.

Actual tax (charge)/credit |
(139) |

(423) |
The tax charge in the quarter ended 31 March 2012 reflects profits in high tax regimes (principally US) and losses in low tax regimes (principally Ireland), losses in overseas subsidiaries for which a deferred tax asset has not been recognised (principally Ireland and the Netherlands) and the derecognition of deferred tax assets of £161 million in respect of losses in Australia, following the strategic changes to the Markets and International Banking businesses announced in January 2012.
The combined effect of the tax losses in Ireland and the Netherlands in the quarter ended 31 March 2012 for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised and the derecognition of the deferred tax asset in respect of losses in Australia account for £387 million (80%) of the difference between the actual tax charge and the tax credit derived from applying the standard UK Corporation Tax rate to the results for the period.
The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset at 31 March 2012 of £3,849 million (31 December 2011 - £3,878 million; 31 March 2011 - £6,299 million) of which £3,134 million (31 December 2011 - £2,933 million; 31 March 2011 - £3,770 million) relates to carried forward trading losses in the UK. Under UK tax legislation, these UK losses can be carried forward indefinitely to be utilised against profits arising in the future. The Group has considered the carrying value of this asset as at 31 March 2012 and concluded that it is recoverable based on future profit projections.

7. Dividends
On 26 November 2009, RBS entered into a State Aid Commitment Deed with HM Treasury containing commitments and undertakings that were designed to ensure that HM Treasury was able to comply with the commitments to be given by it to the European Commission for the purposes of obtaining approval for the State aid provided to RBS. As part of these commitments and undertakings, RBS agreed not to pay discretionary coupons and dividends on its existing hybrid capital instruments for a period of two years. This period commenced on 30 April 2010 for RBS Group instruments (the two year deferral period for RBS Holdings N.V. instruments commenced on 1 April 2011). On 30 April 2012 this period ended for RBS Group instruments. RBS has determined that it is now in a position to recommence payments on the RBS Group instruments.
The Core Tier 1 capital impact of discretionary amounts that will be payable over the remainder of 2012 on the RBS Group instruments on which payments have previously been stopped is c.£350 million. In the context of recent macro-prudential policy discussions, the Board of RBS has decided to neutralise any impact on Core Tier 1 capital through equity issuance. Approximately £250 million of this is ascribed to equity funding of employee incentive awards through the sale of surplus shares held by the Group's Employee Benefit Trust, which is now substantially complete. An additional c.£100 million will be raised through the issue of new ordinary shares, which is expected to take place over time during the second half of 2012.
The Directors have declared the discretionary dividends on Series M, N, P, Q, R, S, and T non-cumulative dollar preference shares of US$0.01 each for the three months to 30 June 2012, and the discretionary dividend on the Series 2 non-cumulative Euro preference shares of €0.01 for the 12 months to 30 June 2012. These discretionary dividends as well as the discretionary distributions on the RBSG/RBS innovative securities RBS Capital Trust A, RBS Capital Trust B, RBS Capital Trust D, RBS Capital Trust I, RBS Capital Trust II and RBS Capital Trust IV will be paid on their scheduled payment dates in June 2012. Future coupons and dividends on RBS Group hybrid capital instruments will only be paid subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the relevant instruments.

9. Segmental analysis
In January 2012, the Group announced the reorganisation of its wholesale businesses into 'Markets' and 'International Banking'. Divisional results have been presented based on the new organisational structure. In addition, the Group had previously included movements in the fair value of own derivative liabilities within the Markets operating segment. These movements have now been combined with movements in the fair value of own debt in a single measure, 'own credit adjustments' and presented as a reconciling item. Refer to 'presentation of information' on page 5 for further details. Comparatives have been restated accordingly.
Analysis of divisional operating profit/(loss)
The following tables provide an analysis of divisional operating profit/(loss) for the quarters ended 31 March 2012, 31 December 2011 and 31 March 2011 by main income statement captions. The divisional income statements on pages 20 to 62 reflect certain presentational reallocations as described in the notes below. These do not affect the overall operating profit/(loss).

Credit valuation adjustments (CVA) represent an estimate of the adjustment to fair value that a market participant would make to incorporate the credit risk inherent in counterparty derivative exposures. The following table shows credit valuation adjustments and other reserves.

Key points
|
· |
The gross exposure to monolines reduced in the quarter from £1.9 billion to £1.6 billion primarily due to an increase in underlying asset prices. The CVA decreased on a total basis reflecting the lower exposure, and also on a relative basis (from 63% to 60%) primarily due to tighter credit spreads. |
|
|
|
|
· |
The exposure to CDPCs has decreased in Q1 2012 from £1.9 billion to £1.1 billion. This was primarily driven by tighter credit spreads of the underlying reference instruments, together with a decrease in the relative value of senior tranches compared with the underlying reference portfolios. Whilst the CVA decreased in line with the exposure, it increased marginally (from 55% to 56%) on a relative basis. |
|
|
|
|
· |
The CVA held against exposures to other counterparties decreased in the quarter, principally reflecting credit spreads tightening. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Bid-offer reserves decreased due to risk reduction and the impact of Greek government debt restructuring. Other reserves were also lower across a range of businesses and products. |

Notes:
|
(1) |
The own credit adjustment for fair value does not alter cash flows and is not used for performance management. It is disregarded for regulatory capital reporting processes and will reverse over time as the liabilities mature. |
|
(2) |
Consists of wholesale and retail note issuances. |
|
(3) |
The reserve movement between periods will not equate to the reported profit or loss for own credit. The balance sheet reserves are stated by conversion of underlying currency balances at spot rates for each period whereas the income statement includes intra-period foreign exchange sell-offs. |
Key points
|
· |
Own credit adjustment decreased significantly during the quarter reflecting tightening of credit spreads across all tenors. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Senior issued debt valuation adjustments are determined with reference to secondary debt issuance spreads. At 31 March 2012, the five year level tightened to 265 basis points from 451 basis points at the year end. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Derivative liability own credit adjustment decreased as credit spreads tightened, for example the five year level was 299 basis points compared with 337 basis points at 31 December 2011. |

12. Available-for-sale financial assets
The Q1 2012 movement in available-for-sale financial assets primarily reflects net unrealised gains on securities of £724 million, largely as yields tightened on sovereign bonds.

* The Q4 2011 tax charge included a £664 million write-off of deferred tax assets in The Netherlands.
In Q2 2011, as a result of the deterioration in Greece's fiscal position and the announcement of proposals to restructure Greek government debt, the Group concluded that the Greek sovereign debt was impaired. Accordingly, £733 million of unrealised losses recognised in available-for-sale reserves together with £109 million related interest rate hedge adjustments were recycled to the income statement. Further losses of £224 million were recorded in Q4 2011.
Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain are facing less acute fiscal difficulties and the Group's sovereign exposures to these countries were not considered impaired at 31 March 2012.

14. Litigation, investigations, reviews and proceedings
Except for the developments noted below, there have been no material changes to the litigation and investigations, reviews and proceedings as disclosed in the Annual Results for the year ended 31 December 2011.
Litigation
RBS Citizens N.A. and its affiliates were among more than thirty banks named as defendants in US class action lawsuits alleging that the way in which banks posted transactions to consumer accounts caused customers to incur excessive overdraft fees. The complaints against Citizens, which concerned the period between 2002 and 2010, alleged that this conduct violated its duty of good faith and fair dealing, and was unconscionable, an unfair trade practice and a conversion of customers' funds. Citizens has agreed to settle this case for $137.5 million. A notice of settlement has been filed with the court, which requests that all proceedings in the case be stayed. If the settlement is given final approval by the court, consumers who do not opt out of the settlement will be deemed to have released any claims related to the allegations in the lawsuits.
Investigations, reviews and proceedings
On 26 March 2012, the FSA published a Final Notice, having reached a settlement with Coutts & Co under which Coutts agreed to pay a fine of £8.75 million. This follows an investigation by the FSA into Coutts & Co's anti-money laundering (AML) systems and controls in relation to high risk clients. The fine relates to activity undertaken between December 2007 and November 2010.
Coutts has cooperated fully and openly with the FSA throughout the investigation. Coutts accepts the findings contained in the FSA's Final Notice regarding certain failures to meet the relevant regulatory standards between December 2007 and November 2010. Coutts has found no evidence that money laundering took place during that time.
Since concerns were first identified by the FSA, Coutts & Co has enhanced its client relationship management process which included a review of its AML procedures, and is confident in its current processes and procedures.
During March 2008, the Group was advised by the SEC that it had commenced a non-public, formal investigation relating to the Group's United States sub-prime securities exposures and United States residential mortgage exposures. In December 2010, the SEC contacted the Group and indicated that it would also examine valuations of various RBS N.V. structured products, including CDOs. With respect to the latter inquiry, in March 2012, the SEC communicated to the Group that it had completed its investigation and that it did not, as of the date of that communication and based upon the information then in its possession, intend to recommend any enforcement action against RBS.
The Group continues to respond to investigations by various authorities into its submissions, communications and procedures relating to the setting of LIBOR and other interest rates, including the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the US Department of Justice, the European Commission, the FSA and the Japanese Financial Services Agency. In addition to co-operating with the investigations as described above, the Group is also keeping relevant regulators informed. It is not possible to estimate with any certainty what effect these investigations and any related developments may have on the Group, including the timing and effect of any resolution of these investigations.
Notes (continued)
15. Other developments
Proposed transfers of a substantial part of the business activities of RBS N.V. to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS plc)
On 19 April 2011, the Group announced its intention to transfer a substantial part of the business activities of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (RBS N.V.) to RBS plc (the "Proposed Transfers"), subject, amongst other matters, to regulatory and other approvals, further tax and other analysis in respect of the assets and liabilities to be transferred and employee consultation procedures.
It is expected that the Proposed Transfers will be implemented on a phased basis over a period ending 31 December 2013. The transfer of substantially all of the UK business was completed during Q4 2011. A large part of the remainder of Proposed Transfers is expected to have taken place by the end of 2012.
On 26 March 2012, the Boards of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, RBS plc, RBS Holdings N.V., RBS N.V. and RBS II B.V. announced that (1) RBS N.V. (as the demerging company) and RBS II B.V. (as the acquiring company) filed a proposal with the Dutch Trade Register for a legal demerger and (2) following a preliminary hearing at the Court of Session in Scotland, RBS plc and RBS II B.V. made filings with Companies House in the UK and the Dutch Trade Register respectively for a proposed cross-border merger of RBS II B.V. into RBS plc ("the Dutch Scheme").
Upon implementation of these proposals, a substantial part of the business conducted by RBS N.V. in the Netherlands as well as in certain EMEA branches of RBS N.V. will be transferred to RBS plc. Implementation will be by the demerger of the transferring businesses into RBS II B.V. by way of a Dutch statutory demerger followed by the merger of RBS II B.V. into RBS plc through a cross-border merger. RBS plc and RBS N.V. have discussed the transfer in detail with De Nederlandsche Bank and the Financial Services Authority.
Implementation is subject, amongst other matters, to regulatory and court approvals. Subject to these matters, it is expected that the Dutch Scheme will take effect on 9 July 2012.
Rating agencies
On 15 February 2012, Moody's placed the ratings of 114 European banks and 17 firms with global capital markets activities on review for possible downgrade. Included in the rating reviews were the ratings of RBS and certain subsidiaries. Moody's' long term ratings of RBS Group plc (A3), RBS plc (A2), NatWest (A2), RBS N.V. (A2), Ulster Bank Ltd (Baa1) and Ulster Bank Ireland Ltd (Baa1) are on review for possible downgrade; along with the short-term P-1 ratings of RBS plc, NatWest and RBS N.V. The short-term ratings of RBS Group plc, Ulster Bank Ireland Ltd and Ulster Bank Ltd were affirmed at P-2. Moody's cite three reasons for their reviews across all of the affected firms; (i) the adverse and prolonged impact of the euro area crisis; (ii) the deteriorating creditworthiness of euro, area sovereigns; and (iii) the substantial challenges faced by banks and securities firms with significant capital market activities.
Notes (continued)
15. Other developments (continued)
Following their ratings announcement on 15 February 2012, on 22 February 2012 Moody's also placed on review for possible downgrade selected ratings of North American bank subsidiaries of European banks. Included in these rating actions were the long-term (A2) and short-term (P-1) ratings of RBS Citizens, NA and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania.
During the quarter, no material rating actions have been undertaken on the Group and RBS plc by the rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
16. Date of approval
This announcement was approved by the Board of directors on 3 May 2012.
17. Post balance sheet events
There have been no significant events between 31 March 2012 and the date of approval of this announcement which would require a change to or additional disclosure in the announcement.
