FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal activities
Bank of Scotland plc (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (together,
the Group) provide a wide range of banking and financial services
in the UK and overseas.
The Group's revenue is earned through interest and fees on a
broad range of financial services products including current and
savings accounts, personal loans, credit cards and mortgages within
the retail market; loans and other products to commercial,
corporate and asset finance customers; and private banking.
Review of results
Income statement
The Group's profit before tax for the six months ended 30 June
2020 was GBP11 million, down from GBP962 million in the six months
to 30 June 2019 and profit for the period was GBP180 million, down
from GBP625 million in the first half of 2019 with both being
impacted by a significantly increased impairment charge in the
period of GBP1,465 million.
In the challenging external environment total income fell by
GBP170 million, to GBP2,846 million in the six months to 30 June
2020 compared to GBP3,016 million in the six months to 30 June
2019, and was impacted by both lower net interest income and lower
other income.
Net interest income of GBP2,634 million in the half-year to 30
June 2020 was down 3 per cent on the half-year to 30 June 2019
reflecting the lower rate environment, actions taken to support
customers including free overdrafts and reduced levels of customer
demand during the coronavirus pandemic.
Other income of GBP212 million in the half-year to 30 June 2020
was GBP97 million lower compared to GBP309 million in the half-year
to 30 June 2019 as a result of lower customer activity and a
subdued demand during the coronavirus lockdown period.
Total operating expenses reduced by GBP471 million to GBP1,370
million in period compared to GBP1,841 million in the half-year to
30 June 2019 with a GBP234 million decrease in regulatory
provisions and a GBP237 million decrease in other operating
expenses. Regulatory provisions comprised GBP98 million for the six
months to 30 June 2020 relating to a number of items across
existing programmes; the GBP280 million charge for PPI in the first
half of 2019 was not repeated. Other operating expenses were GBP237
million lower at GBP1,272 million in the half-year to 30 June 2020
compared to GBP1,509 million in the half-year to 30 June 2020,
driven by continued cost discipline, efficiencies gained through
digitalisation and other process improvements and a reduction in
costs recharged to the Group by fellow Lloyds Banking Group
undertakings.
The impairment charge increased significantly in the first six
months of the year to GBP1,465 million compared to a charge in the
six months to 30 June 2019 of GBP213 million. The additional charge
was primarily driven by updates to the Group's economic outlook and
provisions taken on existing restructuring cases where recovery
strategies have been directly impacted by the coronavirus
outbreak.
The Group recognised a tax credit of GBP169 million in the
period, primarily as a result of an uplift in the value of deferred
tax assets of GBP182 million following the announcement by the UK
Government that it would maintain the corporation tax rate at 19
per cent, which was substantively enacted on 17 March 2020.
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Balance sheet and capital
Total assets at 30 June 2020 were GBP1,079 million lower at
GBP374,695 million compared to GBP375,774 million at 31 December
2019 with increases in balances due from fellow Lloyds Banking
Group undertakings being more than offset by reductions in the
mortgage and credit card books as customer demand reduced during
the coronavirus lockdown as well as lower derivative assets.
Total liabilities were GBP1,236 million lower at GBP361,448
million at 30 June 2020 compared to GBP362,684 million at 31
December 2019 with increases in customer deposits which have been
driven by growth in current accounts as a result of reduced
consumer spending during the coronavirus lockdown period, being
more than offset by reductions in amounts owed to fellow Lloyds
Banking Group undertakings and lower derivative financial
liabilities.
Total equity has increased by GBP157 million from GBP13,090
million at 31 December 2019 to GBP13,247 million at 30 June 2020,
with total comprehensive income for the period of GBP215 million
and other movements more than offsetting distributions on other
equity instruments of GBP80 million.
The Bank's common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased to 14.0
per cent(1) (31 December 2019: 13.5 per cent) and the tier 1
capital ratio increased to 18.5 per cent(1) (31 December 2019: 18.2
per cent), as the impact of the impairment charge on the Bank's
profits was largely mitigated through the increase in IFRS 9
transitional relief for capital. The resultant increase in the
capital ratios was offset in part by an increase in deferred tax
assets deducted from capital and an increase in risk-weighted
assets. The total capital ratio reduced to 21.7 per cent(1) (31
December 2019: 22.0 per cent), largely reflecting the reduction in
the regulatory value of tier 2 capital instruments and the increase
in risk-weighted assets, offset in part by the increase in tier 1
capital and an increase in eligible provisions.
Risk-weighted assets increased by GBP1,310 million, or 2 per
cent, to GBP62,643 million at 30 June 2020 compared to GBP61,333
million at 31 December 2019, largely reflecting the impact of
credit migrations and retail model calibrations, offset in part by
the reduction in lending balances.
Incorporating profits for the period that remain subject to formal
(1) verification in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation.
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Capital position at 30 June 2020
Following a change in approach the capital position of Bank of
Scotland plc is now presented on the basis of the Bank where
previously this was presented on the basis of the Group. Prior year
comparatives reflect the position of the Bank at 31 December
2019.
The Bank's capital position as at 30 June 2020, incorporating
profits for the period that remain subject to formal verification
in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation and applying
CRD IV transitional rules and IFRS 9 transitional arrangements, is
set out in the following section.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The significant risks faced by the Group are detailed below.
There has been no change to the description of these risks since
disclosed in the Group's 2019 Annual Report and Accounts.
The external risks faced by the Group may also impact the
success of delivering against the Group's long-term strategic
objectives. They include, but are not limited to the coronavirus
pandemic, global macro-economic conditions, regulatory developments
and the exit of the UK from the European Union.
Through the coronavirus pandemic, the Group has offered help and
support to customers with a range of measures, for example with
payment holidays and government lending schemes, and continues to
actively monitor the outcomes to ensure fair customer treatment.
Support has been prioritised for those customers in the most
vulnerable situations and those who need help urgently. The Group
has also been required to take a series of unprecedented actions to
protect colleagues, and has been proactive in limiting the impact
with a number of mitigating actions to support colleagues' safety
and wellbeing. Transition planning, including continued engagement
with colleagues, remains a key focus in ensuring that the Group
continues to protect colleagues and services to customers as the
situation continues to evolve, and any lessons learned from the
pandemic can be embedded into our future working practices.
The Group's key cyber controls have continued to operate
effectively during the coronavirus pandemic. During this period,
the Group has also enhanced monitoring of key suppliers to protect
the services received by Group and its ability to protect and
maintain service to customers. The Group continues to work with the
regulators constructively with regular engagement to ensure they
are aware of the impacts on, and mitigating actions taken by the
Group.
The Group's principal risks and uncertainties are reviewed and
reported regularly to the Board in alignment with Lloyds Banking
Group's Enterprise Risk Management Framework. Climate risk is being
proposed to be introduced as a principal risk category, reflecting
the focus in this key area, and work already undertaken by the
Group.
Change / Execution - The risk that, in delivering the change
agenda, the Group fails to ensure compliance with laws and
regulation, maintain effective customer service and availability,
and/or operate within the Group's approved risk appetite.
Data - The risk that the Group fails to effectively govern,
manage, and control data (including data processed by third party
suppliers) leading to unethical decisions, poor customer outcomes,
loss of value to the Group and mistrust.
Operational Resilience - The risk that the Group fails to design
resilience into business operations, underlying infrastructure and
controls (people, process, technology) so that it is able to
withstand external or internal events which could impact the
continuation of operations, and fails to respond in a way which
meets customer and stakeholder expectations and needs when the
continuity of operations is compromised.
Strategic - The risks which result from strategic plans which do
not adequately reflect trends in external factors, ineffective
business strategy execution, or failure to respond in a timely
manner to external environments or changes in stakeholder
behaviours and expectations.
Credit - The risk that parties with whom the Group has
contracted, fail to meet their financial obligations (both on and
off balance sheet). For example observed, anticipated or unexpected
changes in the economic environment could impact profitability due
to an increase in delinquency, defaults, write-downs and/or
expected credit losses.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)
Regulatory and Legal - The risk of financial penalties,
regulatory censure, criminal or civil enforcement action or
customer detriment as a result of failure to identify, assess,
correctly interpret, comply with, or manage regulatory and/or legal
requirements.
Conduct - The risk of customer detriment across the customer
lifecycle including: failures in product management, distribution
and servicing activities; from other risks materialising, or other
activities which could undermine the integrity of the market or
distort competition, leading to unfair customer outcomes,
regulatory censure, reputational damage or financial loss.
Operational - The risk of loss from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and systems, or from external
events.
People - The risk that the Group fails to provide an appropriate
colleague and customer-centric culture, supported by robust reward
and wellbeing policies and processes; effective leadership to
manage colleague resources; effective talent and succession
management; and robust control to ensure all colleague-related
requirements are met.
Capital - The risk that the Bank has a sub-optimal quantity or
quality of capital or that capital is inefficiently deployed across
Lloyds Banking Group.
Funding and Liquidity - Funding risk is the risk that the Group
does not have sufficiently stable and diverse sources of funding or
the funding structure is inefficient. Liquidity risk is the risk
that the Group does not have sufficient financial resources to meet
commitments when they fall due, or can only secure them at
excessive cost.
Governance - The risk that the organisational infrastructure
fails to provide robust oversight of decision making and the
control mechanisms to ensure strategies and management instructions
are implemented effectively.
Market - The risk that the Group's capital or earnings profile
is affected by adverse market rates, in particular interest rates
and credit spreads in the banking business, and credit spreads in
Lloyds Banking Group's defined benefit pension schemes.
Model - The risk of financial loss, regulatory censure,
reputational damage or customer detriment, as a result of
deficiencies in the development, application and ongoing operation
of models and rating systems.
Credit risk
Economic conditions have worsened in the first half of 2020 as
the coronavirus crisis impact is felt. Given the challenging
external environment and expectations of further economic
deterioration, the impairment charge has increased significantly
during the first half of 2020, predominantly driven by updates to
the Group's economic outlook as well as the impact on restructuring
cases and single name charges. As a result, expected credit loss
allowances increased. There are a number of headwinds which have
the potential to further impact the portfolios, including
uncertainty around future UK and global economic conditions with a
risk of an increase in unemployment and further business failures
as the various UK Government schemes wind down in the third
quarter, the risk of a second wave of the virus and further,
perhaps deeper, measures worsening the economy and the financial
health of customers. Outside of these, the possibility still
remains of a no-deal end to the transition period of the UK exit
from the European Union. In the context of the uncertainty, the
Group's risk appetite and risk management approach continues to
help ensure that the Group takes timely and proactive actions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting policies, presentation and estimates
These condensed consolidated half-year financial statements as
at and for the period to 30 June 2020 have been prepared in
accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of
the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and with International
Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting as
adopted by the European Union and comprise the results of Bank of
Scotland plc (the Bank) together with its subsidiaries (the Group).
They do not include all of the information required for full annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year
ended 31 December 2019 which were prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union. Copies of the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts
are available on the Lloyds Banking Group's website and are
available upon request from Investor Relations, Lloyds Banking
Group plc, 25 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7HN.
The directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed
consolidated half-year financial statements. In reaching this
assessment, the directors have considered the implications of the
coronavirus pandemic upon the Group's performance and projected
funding and capital position and also taken into account the impact
of further stress scenarios. On this basis, the directors are
satisfied that the Group will maintain adequate levels of funding
and capital for the foreseeable future.
The accounting policies are consistent with those applied by the
Group in its 2019 Annual Report and Accounts.
Future accounting developments
The IASB has issued a number of minor amendments to IFRSs
effective 1 January 2021 and 1 January 2022 (including IFRS 9
Financial Instruments and IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities
and Contingent Assets). These amendments are not expected to have a
significant impact on the Group.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
impact the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Due to the
inherent uncertainty in making estimates, actual results reported
in future periods may include amounts which differ from those
estimates. Estimates, judgements and assumptions are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. The Group's significant
judgements, estimates and assumptions are unchanged, compared to
those applied at 31 December 2019, except as detailed below.
Allowance for impairment losses
At 30 June 2020 the Group's expected credit loss allowance (ECL)
was GBP3,360 million (31 December 2019: GBP2,148 million), of which
GBP3,227 million (31 December 2019: GBP2,092 million) was in
respect of drawn balances. The calculation of the Group's ECL
allowances and its provisions against loan commitments and
guarantees under IFRS 9 requires the Group to make a number of
judgements, assumptions and estimates.
Forward-looking information
The measurement of expected credit losses is required to reflect
an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible future outcomes.
In order to do this, the Group has developed an economic model to
project a wide range of key impairment drivers using information
derived mainly from external sources. These drivers include factors
such as the unemployment rate, the house price index, commercial
property prices and corporate credit spreads. The model-generated
economic scenarios for the six years beyond 2020 are mapped to
industry-wide historical loss data by portfolio. Combined losses
across portfolios are used to rank the scenarios by severity of
loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Accounting policies, presentation and estimates (continued)
Alongside a defined central economic scenario, reflecting the
Group's base case assumptions used for medium-term planning
purposes, three further economic scenarios are generated to
represent the range of future outcomes. The upside, downside and
severe downside scenarios are produced by averaging across a group
of constituent scenarios around the 15th, 75th and 95th percentiles
of the estimated loss distribution around the central case, with
the central case expected to lie in the vicinity of the 45th
percentile. These locations correspond to scenario weightings that
allow for the inclusion of a relatively unlikely severe downside
scenario associated with relatively large credit losses. At 31
December 2019 and 30 June 2020, the base case, upside and downside
scenarios each carry a 30 per cent weighting, while the severe
downside scenario is weighted at 10 per cent. The weights reflect
the location of the economic scenarios on the estimated loss
distribution.
Following review of the severe downside scenario generated by
the modelled approach described above, a judgement was made to
increase the severity of GDP and unemployment dispersion from the
base case. Whilst the modelled approach gives an unbiased method of
creating a loss distribution, it is built on historic experience
that does not yet fully capture the unprecedented complexities of
the current economic environment and the risk of inflated near-term
shocks. The impact of this change has been reflected as a central
overlay to reflect the incremental ECL estimated outside the core
ECL calculation process. The following economic assumptions include
both the modelled severe scenario - used in portfolio level ECL and
staging assessment, and the adjusted severe downside - used to
generate the final ECL through a central overlay in recognition of
more adverse economic outcomes.
The key UK economic assumptions made by the Group are shown
below. Compounded growth rates have been calculated on a geometric
average basis, they were previously calculated on an arithmetic
average basis:

The Group's base case economic scenario has been materially
revised in light of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the
UK and globally. The estimated impact reflects judgements on the
net effect of restrictions on economic activity unprecedented in
peacetime, large-scale and previously untried government
interventions, and lasting behavioural changes by households and
businesses.
Although the UK economy has begun to recover as restrictions are
eased, there is considerable uncertainty about the pace and
eventual extent of the recovery. The Group's base case assumptions
reflect an expectation of some enduring scarring as the economy
works through the sharp contraction in economic activity in 2020.
Consistent with this, and despite the support provided by the
Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and other income and
lending assistance, the base case outlook entails a rise in the
unemployment rate and weakness in residential and commercial
property prices. The Group considers that risks to its base case
economic view lie in both directions, reflecting both
epidemiological and other developments, including vis-à-vis the
UK's transition to new trading arrangements with the European
Union.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Accounting policies, presentation and estimates (continued)
Post-model adjustments
Limitations in the Group's impairment models or input data may
be identified through the on-going assessment and validation of the
output of the models. In these circumstances, management make
appropriate adjustments to the Group's allowance for impairment
losses to ensure the overall provision adequately reflects all
material risks. These adjustments are generally determined taking
into account the particular attributes of the exposure which have
not been adequately captured by the primary impairment models.
Significant increase in credit risk
An assessment of whether credit risk has increased significantly
since initial recognition considers the change in the risk of
default occurring over the remaining expected life of the financial
instrument. In determining whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk, the Group uses quantitative tests based on
relative and absolute probability of default movements linked to
internal credit ratings together with qualitative indicators such
as watchlists and other indicators of historical delinquency,
credit weakness or financial difficulty. These quantitative tests
are carried out on both observed and forward-looking probabilities
of default (PDs) to determine whether a customer has triggered the
required deterioration appropriate for their PD at origination. For
each major product grouping, models have been developed which
utilise historical credit loss data to produce probabilities of
default for each scenario; and it is the overall weighted-average
forward-looking PD that is used to assist in determining the
staging of financial assets.
There have been no changes to the quantitative or qualitative
triggers used at 30 June 2020. The Group considers these to
continue to perform adequately under the current economic
conditions and notably with the widespread use of payment holidays.
The use of a payment holiday in itself has not been judged to
indicate a significant increase in credit risk, with the underlying
long-term credit risk deemed to be driven by economic conditions
and captured through the use of forward-looking models. These
portfolio level models are capturing the anticipated volume of
increased defaults and therefore an appropriate assessment of
staging and expected credit loss.
Definition of default
The probability of default (PD) of an exposure, both over a 12
month period and over its lifetime, is a key input to the
measurement of the ECL allowance. Default has occurred when there
is evidence that the customer is experiencing significant financial
difficulty which is likely to affect the ability to repay amounts
due. The Group uses a 90 day past due backstop for all of its
products except for UK mortgages where a backstop of 180 days past
due is in place. The use of payment holidays is not considered to
be an automatic trigger of regulatory default and therefore does
not automatically trigger Stage 3. Days past due will also not
accumulate on any accounts that have taken a payment holiday
including those already past due.
Loss given default
The calculation of the ECL allowance also requires an estimate
to be made of the loss that will be incurred in the event of a
default. The loss given default (LGD) is based on market recovery
rates and internal credit assessments. The LGD for customers
utilising government funding schemes incorporates an appropriate
level of recovery dependent upon the individual scheme and
corresponding level of guarantee being used. The use of forecast
collateral value indices in determining LGDs continues to be
effective despite the temporarily low volumes of transactions upon
which those indices are based.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. Accounting policies, presentation and estimates (continued)
Financial instrument valuations
The Group categorises financial instruments carried on the
balance sheet at fair value using a three level hierarchy.
Financial instruments categorised as level 1 are valued using
quoted market prices and therefore minimal estimates are made in
determining fair value. The fair value of financial instruments
categorised as level 2 and, in particular, level 3 is determined
using valuation techniques which involve management judgement and
estimates the extent of which depends on the complexity of the
instrument and the availability of market observable
information.
The principal judgements made by the Group in determining the
fair value of its financial assets and liabilities classified as
level 3 are primarily related to interest rate spreads and interest
rate volatility. Further details on the valuation of level 3 assets
and liabilities, including significant unobservable inputs used in
the valuation models, together with the effects of reasonably
possible alternative assumptions, are given in note 12.

The movement tables are compiled by comparing the position at
the reporting date to that at the beginning of the year.
Transfers between stages are deemed to have taken place at the
start of the reporting period, with all other movements shown in
the stage in which the asset is held at the period end.
Additions (repayments) comprise new loans originated and
repayments of outstanding balances throughout the reporting period.
Loans which are written off in the period are first transferred to
Stage 3 before acquiring a full allowance and subsequent
write-off.
Loans and advances to customers include advances securitised
under the Group's securitisation and covered bond programmes (see
note 9).

Group.
Securitisation programmes
At 30 June 2020, external parties held GBP4,342 million (31
December 2019: GBP5,616 million) and the Group's subsidiaries held
GBP23,413 million (31 December 2019: GBP23,632 million) of total
securitisation notes in issue of GBP27,755 million (31 December
2019: GBP29,248 million). The notes are secured on loans and
advances to customers and debt securities classified at amortised
cost amounting to GBP28,494 million (31 December 2019: GBP30,417
million), the majority of which have been sold by subsidiary
companies to bankruptcy remote structured entities. The structured
entities are consolidated fully and all of these loans are retained
on the Group's balance sheet.
Covered bond programmes
At 30 June 2020, external parties held GBP3,356 million (31
December 2019: GBP4,529 million) and the Group's subsidiaries held
GBP100 million (31 December 2019: GBP100 million) of total covered
bonds in issue of GBP3,456 million (31 December 2019: GBP4,629
million). The bonds are secured on certain loans and advances to
customers amounting to GBP6,006 million (31 December 2019: GBP6,758
million) that have been assigned to bankruptcy remote limited
liability partnerships. These loans are retained on the Group's
balance sheet.
Cash deposits of GBP1,757 million (31 December 2019: GBP2,000
million) which support the debt securities issued by the structured
entities, the term advances related to covered bonds and other
legal obligations are held by the Group.

Payment protection insurance
The Group has made provisions for PPI costs totalling GBP6,421
million, no additional charge has been made in the first half of
2020. Good progress has been made with the review of PPI
information requests received and the conversion rate remains low
and consistent with the provision assumption of around 10 per cent,
albeit operations have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic in
the second quarter.
At 30 June 2020, a provision of GBP317 million remained
unutilised relating to complaints and associated administration
costs. Total cash payments were GBP279 million during the six
months to 30 June 2020.
The total amount provided for PPI represents the Group's best
estimate of the likely future cost. A number of risks and
uncertainties remain including processing the remaining outstanding
complaints. These may also be impacted by any further regulatory
changes. The cost could therefore differ from the Group's estimates
and the assumptions underpinning them, and could result in a
further provision being required.
For every 1 per cent increase in PIR conversion rate on the
stock as at the industry deadline, the Group would expect an
additional charge of approximately GBP40 million.
Other provisions for legal actions and regulatory matters
In the course of its business, the Group is engaged in
discussions with the PRA, FCA and other UK and overseas regulators
and other governmental authorities on a range of matters. The Group
also receives complaints in connection with its past conduct and
claims brought by or on behalf of current and former employees,
customers, investors and other third parties and is subject to
legal proceedings and other legal actions. Where significant,
provisions are held against the costs expected to be incurred in
relation to these matters and matters arising from related internal
reviews. During the six months to 30 June 2020 the Group charged a
further GBP98 million in respect of legal actions and other
regulatory matters, and the unutilised balance at 30 June 2020 was
GBP177 million (31 December 2019: GBP232 million). The most
significant items are as follows.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
10. Provisions for liabilities and charges (continued)
Arrears handling related activities
The Group has provided an additional GBP19 million during the
half-year to 30 June 2020 for arrears handling related activities,
bringing the total provided to date to GBP649 million; the
unutilised balance at 30 June 2020 was GBP45 million.
HBOS Reading - review
The Group completed its compensation assessment for all 71
business customers within the customer review in the fourth quarter
of 2019. In total more than GBP109 million of compensation has been
accepted by victims of the HBOS Reading fraud, in addition to GBP14
million for ex-gratia payments and GBP6 million for the
re-imbursements of legal fees. Sir Ross Cranston's Quality
Assurance review was concluded on 10 December 2019 and made a
number of recommendations, including a re-assessment of direct and
consequential losses by an independent panel, an extension of debt
relief, and a wider definition of de facto directors. Details of
the panel were announced on 3 April 2020 and the panel's full scope
and methodology was published on 7 July 2020. Details of an appeal
process for the further assessments of debt relief and de facto
director status have also been announced. The Group has begun its
assessment of customer claims for further debt relief and de facto
director status. The Group has committed to implementing Sir Ross's
recommendations in full. It is not possible to estimate at this
stage what the financial impact will be.
11. Contingent liabilities , commitments and guarantees
Interchange fees
With respect to multi-lateral interchange fees (MIFs), the
Lloyds Banking Group is not involved in the ongoing litigation
which involves card schemes such as Visa and Mastercard (as
described below). However, the Lloyds Banking Group is a member /
licensee of Visa and Mastercard and other card schemes. The
litigation in question is as follows:
-- litigation brought by retailers against both Visa and
Mastercard which continues in the English Courts (this includes a
judgment of the Supreme Court in June 2020 upholding the Court of
Appeal's finding in 2018 that historic interchange arrangements of
Mastercard and Visa infringed competition law); and
-- litigation brought on behalf of UK consumers in the English
Courts against Mastercard (judgment is awaited from the Supreme
Court on whether the collective proceedings may be
permissible).
Any impact on the Lloyds Banking Group of the litigation against
Visa and Mastercard remains uncertain at this time. Insofar as Visa
is required to pay damages to retailers for interchange fees set
prior to June 2016, contractual arrangements to allocate liability
have been agreed between various UK banks (including the Lloyds
Banking Group) and Visa Inc, as part of Visa Inc's acquisition of
Visa Europe in 2016. These arrangements cap the maximum amount of
liability to which the Lloyds Banking Group may be subject, and
this cap is set at the cash consideration received by the Lloyds
Banking Group for the sale of its stake in Visa Europe to Visa Inc
in 2016.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
11. Contingent liabilities , commitments and guarantees (continued)
LIBOR and other trading rates
In July 2014, the Lloyds Banking Group announced that it had
reached settlements totalling GBP217 million (at 30 June 2014
exchange rates) to resolve with UK and US federal authorities
legacy issues regarding the manipulation several years ago of Group
companies' submissions to the British Bankers' Association (BBA)
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and Sterling Repo Rate. The
Swiss Competition Commission concluded its investigation against
Lloyds Bank plc in June 2019. However, the Group continues to
cooperate with various other government and regulatory authorities,
including a number of US State Attorneys General, in conjunction
with their investigations into submissions made by panel members to
the bodies that set LIBOR and various other interbank offered
rates.
Certain Lloyds Banking Group companies, together with other
panel banks, have also been named as defendants in private
lawsuits, including purported class action suits, in the US in
connection with their roles as panel banks contributing to the
setting of US Dollar, Japanese Yen and Sterling LIBOR and the
Australian BBSW Reference Rate. Certain of the plaintiffs' claims
have been dismissed by the US Federal Court for Southern District
of New York (subject to appeals).
Certain Lloyds Banking Group companies are also named as
defendants in (i) UK based claims; and (ii) two Dutch class
actions, raising LIBOR manipulation allegations. A number of the
claims against the Lloyds Banking Group in relation to the alleged
mis-sale of interest rate hedging products also include allegations
of LIBOR manipulation.
It is currently not possible to predict the scope and ultimate
outcome on the Group of the various outstanding regulatory
investigations not encompassed by the settlements, any private
lawsuits or any related challenges to the interpretation or
validity of any of the Lloyds Banking Group's contractual
arrangements, including their timing and scale.
Tax authorities
The Lloyds Banking Group has an open matter in relation to a
claim for group relief of losses incurred in its former Irish
banking subsidiary, which ceased trading on 31 December 2010. In
2013 HMRC informed the Lloyds Banking Group that their
interpretation of the UK rules which allow the offset of such
losses denies the claim for group relief of losses. If HMRC's
position is found to be correct, management estimate that this
would result in an increase in the Group's current tax liabilities
of approximately GBP175 million (including interest). The Lloyds
Banking Group does not agree with HMRC's position and, having taken
appropriate advice, does not consider that this is a case where
additional tax will ultimately fall due.
Other legal actions and regulatory matters
In addition, during the ordinary course of business the Group is
subject to other complaints and threatened or actual legal
proceedings (including class or group action claims) brought by or
on behalf of current or former employees, customers, investors or
other third parties, as well as legal and regulatory reviews,
challenges, investigations and enforcement actions, both in the UK
and overseas. All such material matters are periodically
reassessed, with the assistance of external professional advisers
where appropriate, to determine the likelihood of the Group
incurring a liability. In those instances where it is concluded
that it is more likely than not that a payment will be made, a
provision is established to management's best estimate of the
amount required at the relevant balance sheet date. In some cases
it will not be possible to form a view, for example because the
facts are unclear or because further time is needed to assess
properly the merits of the case, and no provisions are held in
relation to such matters. In these circumstances, specific
disclosure in relation to a contingent liability will be made where
material. However the Group does not currently expect the final
outcome of any such case to have a material adverse effect on its
financial position, operations or cash flows.

12. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
The valuations of financial instruments have been classified
into three levels according to the quality and reliability of
information used to determine those fair values. Note 40 to the
Group's 2019 financial statements describes the definitions of the
three levels in the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation control framework
Key elements of the valuation control framework, which covers
processes for all levels in the fair value hierarchy including
level 3 portfolios, include model validation (incorporating
pre-trade and post-trade testing), product implementation review
and independent price verification. Formal committees meet
quarterly to discuss and approve valuations in more judgemental
areas.
Transfers into and out of level 3 portfolios
Transfers out of level 3 portfolios arise when inputs that could
have a significant impact on the instrument's valuation become
market observable; conversely, transfers into the portfolios arise
when sources of data cease to be observable.
Valuation methodology
For level 2 and level 3 portfolios, there is no significant
change to the valuation methodology (techniques and inputs)
disclosed in the Group's 2019 Annual Report and Accounts applied to
these portfolios.
The table below summarises the carrying values of financial
assets and liabilities presented on the Group's balance sheet. The
fair values presented in the table are at a specific date and may
be significantly different from the amounts which will actually be
paid or received on the maturity or settlement date.

12. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)
The carrying amount of the following financial instruments is a
reasonable approximation of fair value: cash and balances at
central banks, items in the course of collection from banks, items
in course of transmission to banks and notes in circulation.
The Group manages valuation adjustments for its derivative
exposures on a net basis; the Group determines their fair values on
the basis of their net exposures. In all other cases, fair values
of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are
determined on the basis of their gross exposures.
The following tables provide an analysis of the financial assets
and liabilities of the Group that are carried at fair value in the
Group's consolidated balance sheet, grouped into levels 1 to 3
based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Unobservable inputs
Significant unobservable inputs affecting the valuation of debt
securities, unlisted equity investments and derivatives are
unchanged from those described in the Group's 2019 financial
statements.
Reasonably possible alternative assumptions
Valuation techniques applied to many of the Group's level 3
instruments often involve the use of two or more inputs whose
relationship is interdependent. The calculation of the effect of
reasonably possible alternative assumptions included in the table
above reflects such relationships and are unchanged from those
described in the Group's 2019 financial statements.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC
Report on the condensed consolidated half-year financial
statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed Bank of Scotland plc's condensed consolidated
half-year financial statements (the 'interim financial statements')
in the 2020 Half-Year Results of Bank of Scotland plc (the
'Company') for the six month period ended 30 June 2020. Based on
our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in
all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
What we have reviewed
The interim financial statements comprise:
-- the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020;
-- the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement
of comprehensive income for the period then ended;
-- the consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended;
-- the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and
-- the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements included in the 2020 Half-Year
Results have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted
by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the
financial reporting framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is
applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the
review
Our responsibilities and those of the directors
The 2020 Half-Year Results, including the interim financial
statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the
directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the 2020
Half-Year Results in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim
financial statements in the 2020 Half-Year Results based on our
review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared
for and only for the Company for the purpose of complying with the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We
do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility
for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is
shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed
by our prior consent in writing.
What a review of interim financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and,
consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in
an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We have read the other information contained in the 2020
Half-Year Results and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the interim financial statements.
