Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analyses compare the six months to 30th June 2009 to the corresponding six months of 2008. Balance sheet comparisons, unless otherwise stated, relate to the corresponding position at 31st December 2008.
Unless otherwise stated, the Performance Highlights, Group Chief Executive's Review, Group Finance Director's Review, Summary Income Statement, Summary Balance Sheet, Results by Business, Risk Management and Capital and Performance Management sections of the Interim Results Announcement discuss the Group as a whole rather than presenting the portion of the Barclays Global Investors (BGI) business held for sale as a discontinued operation. These non-GAAP measures are provided because, until disposal, management believes that including BGI as part of continuing operations provides more useful information about the performance of the Group as a whole and better reflects how the operations are managed. In the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on pages 82 onwards, the portion of the BGI business held for sale is represented as discontinued operations. We have provided a schedule which presents the continuing and discontinued activities of BGI on page 29.
In accordance with Barclays policy to provide meaningful disclosures that help investors and other stakeholders understand the financial position, performance and changes in the financial position of the Group for the period, the information provided in this report goes beyond the minimum levels required by accounting standards and listing rules for interim reporting. In the specific context of facilitating an understanding of the recent market turmoil Barclays has considered best practice recommendations relating to disclosure and feedback from investors, regulators and other stakeholders on the disclosures that investors would find most useful.
Forward-looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of the Group's plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "may", "will", "seek", "continue", "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe" or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Group's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, business strategy, capital ratios, leverage, payment of dividends, projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for future operations and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances, including, but not limited to, UK domestic and global economic and business conditions, the effects of continued volatility in credit markets, market related risks such as changes in interest rates and exchange rates, effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures, changes in valuation of issued notes, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, changes in legislation, the further development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to past, current and future periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of standards under IFRS, the integration of the Lehman Brothers North American businesses into the Group's business and the quantification of the benefits resulting from such acquisition, the proposed disposal of Barclays Global Investors and the impact on the Group, the outcome of pending and future litigation, the success of future acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the impact of competition - a number of which factors are beyond the Group's control. As a result, the Group's actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date they are made. Except
as required by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA), the London Stock
Exchange or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to
release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in
this announcement to reflect any change in Barclays expectations with regard thereto or any
change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The
reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may
make in documents it has filed or may file with the SEC.

"In challenging market conditions, we have continued to benefit from our diversified business base. The investments we have made, particularly in our international businesses, are driving very strong income performance and allowing us to absorb the consequences of the economic downturn. Our capital base is stronger and we have significantly reduced leverage. Our goal for 2009 is very clear: we seek to deliver another year of solid profitability. Our first half performance is a good start to this."

Group Chief Executive's Review
Summary
The environment has remained very difficult in 2009 as a consequence of the onset during 2008 of economic recession in most parts of the world in which we operate. But we were nonetheless solidly profitable, reporting a first half profit of £3 billion.
At the heart of this performance is the service to our customers and clients, for whom the
recession creates both challenges and opportunities. High levels of activity on their
behalf enabled us to grow our income by 37%, to over £16 billion. This has enabled us
to absorb the impact of further credit market writedowns and increasing impairment. We were
exposed to, and came through, the stress tests applied by our lead regulator in
the UK, the Financial Services Authority (FSA). And we have pursued strategic change
with the sale of Barclays Global Investors (BGI) business which, when completed, will
crystallise significant value within the business portfolio and open new opportunities
within the consolidating asset management industry through our stake in the combined
BlackRock Global Investors business. Our proposal to sell the BGI business is the
subject of a shareholder general meeting to be held on 6th August 2009.
Costs have been well
controlled, with a 3 percentage point improvement in the cost:income ratio. The
rate of income growth exceeded the rate of cost growth by 7%. On the balance sheet, we have
reduced total assets by over £500 billion since the end of 2008, leading to a
reduction in adjusted gross leverage. Risk weighted assets (RWAs) have been managed down by
6%.
The ratio of loans to deposits has improved by 9 percentage points as we strengthened our funding position. With a proforma Core Tier 1 ratio of 8.8%, we have capital resources well in excess of the regulatory minima.
2009 Priorities
As we navigate 2009, our governing objectives are unchanged. They are: staying close to our customers and clients, managing our risk and maintaining strategic momentum.
Staying Close to Our Customers and Clients
The strength of our
relationships with customers and clients is observable in the income performance of
Barclays during the first half of 2009. We reported income growth of 14% in GRCB, and
of 52% in IBIM. Income diversification has helped us mitigate the
severe writedown and impairment impacts of the banking crisis and the economic
crisis.
Protecting and
growing our ability to serve customers and clients all around the world lay at the
heart of our decision about recapitalisation in October 2008. An independent
Barclays is a Barclays which can build on the strategy of diversification by geography and
by business line. The income performance we have sustained through the crisis
gives us a lot of confidence, and international diversification lies at the
centre of the income story.
The increase in income at Barclays Capital was broadly based by product and geography and was driven by increased client flows and wider spreads. GRCB income growth, both in 2009 and since the crisis began in the summer of 2007, has been dominated by the international businesses which are now delivering over 40% of GRCB's income. The strength of income performance over the last three years has enabled us to invest heavily in the build-out of distribution channels outside the United Kingdom and increase the number of customers we serve to 49m. While there is clearly a cost to this in terms of investment in branches and people and from impairment growth in maturing asset books, the significant broadening of the business base over the last two years will in time provide strong, diversified profit momentum for the Group.
We made specific statements earlier this year about the lending support that we would make available for our customers in the UK. New lending by Barclays to UK households and businesses in the first half for this year totalled some £17 billion, which was divided equally between credit made available to households and credit made available to businesses. Underlying this new lending are approval rates for applications for credit by business customers of Barclays Commercial Bank running at high levels consistent with those of 2007 and 2008.
Managing Our Risk
We see risk and capital as two
sides of the same coin. It has been very important to us to strengthen our capital ratios
during this half. We started 2009 with a Core Tier 1 ratio of 5.6% and on a pro forma
basis taking into account the BGI sale, this ratio was 8.8% at the end of June.
Profit generation is intrinsic
to a bank's ability to protect and grow its capital ratios. Barclays has continued to
generate profits in every reporting period since this crisis began and our aggregate
profit over the two year period to 30th June 2009 amounted to
£12bn.
The managing of systemic risk
is a priority for governments and regulators, and careful attention is being directed by
them at effecting change to the banking industry to ensure that what has happened over the
last two years never happens again. This is both understandable and appropriate. There have
been many failings in the industry and there is much to be sorry about. But we should not
lose sight of the fact that the banking crisis which began in the summer of 2007 brought to
an end two decades of global growth and stability from which the world benefited greatly.
An important ingredient of the rapid economic growth over that twenty year period was the
activity of banks and global capital markets.
We need a new regulatory
framework, of course, and that will mean more regulation. But that framework, when
introduced, must be sensitive to the many good things delivered to the world over the last
decades by an increasingly vibrant market economy. A properly governed market economy
encourages thrift, innovation, creativity and enterprise. The world needs these things
as it recovers.
One consequence of this crisis
is a requirement for more capital and less leverage in the banking system. On a pro
forma basis, we have increased our Core Tier 1 ratio by well over 400 bps since
the since the end of 2007 and we have reduced our adjusted leverage from
33x to 20x over the same period. We have reduced reliance on unsecured funding,
and increased the average duration of our funding. These actions will make it easier for us
to manage the impacts of new regulatory requirements.
We have been steadily building
liquidity in the balance sheet to anticipate the introduction of the new FSA rules. In the
context of future levels of market risk capital, we make the assumption that the decisions
made in due course by our regulators will recognise a distinction between capital required
to support proprietary trading (which is not our focus) and capital required to support the
risk management and financing needs of our government and corporate clients (which very
much is).
The regulatory balance sheet required to support the business of Barclays Capital at the end of June 2009 was lower than at the end of December 2008, notwithstanding the very large growth in income and profits, as we have developed the mix of earnings in Barclays Capital to take account of anticipated changes in the regulatory capital environment. The Lehman Brothers North American businesses acquisition of 2008, coupled with the market share opportunities created by the upheaval in the global investment banking sector, have enabled us to increase substantially the scale of the (relatively low capital consuming) client flow business within Barclays Capital.
Maintaining Strategic Momentum
Our strategy is to increase the
growth potential of Barclays by diversifying our businesses.
Notwithstanding the uncertainty
of the economic outlook and the attendant uncertainty about the development of regulation,
we have a clear view about the overall size and shape of the Barclays Group.
Within GRCB, our goal is that the profit contribution of our international activities will, in time, equal that of the UK businesses. We will seek to grow the profitability of our African businesses through time. We have ample opportunity to develop our Western European retail and commercial banking businesses, and in due course we will be seeking to grow further the Asian businesses of GRCB, which are still underweight. That strategic objective underpins the investments that we have been making in India, Pakistan and Indonesia over the last two years. We remain strongly committed to the continuation of our international development strategy within GRCB, where the medium term growth characteristics of our selected markets are unchanged, although the scale and pace of future growth will of course be determined by our assessment of the economic conditions that prevail and the market opportunities that arise.
In IBIM, we have been developing business in the areas where we have been geographically under-represented over the years - particularly in Asia and the United States. The US accounts today for some 40% of the income in the global financial services industry. Our presence in the United States has increased significantly from the Lehman Brothers North American businesses acquisition. Meanwhile, we are investing to make global businesses of the platforms in equities and mergers and acquisitions in the United States that we acquired through the Lehmans transaction.
Looked at in the context of the Group as a whole, 51% of our first half income was generated outside the United Kingdom (2008: 47%), and it is a strategic priority for us to grow that percentage further in the future.
If we look at the shape of the Group by business line, the Lehman acquisition, the sale of Barclays Global Investors, and the impact on GRCB's profits made by the compression of liability margins and rising impairment, will skew the relative contribution of investment banking for a period of time. But our intention continues to be that, over time and in circumstances where Barclays Capital continues to grow, about two-thirds of the Group's profits will come from GRCB and Barclays Wealth.
Goals
Our economic profit goal for
the period 2008 through to 2011 is unlikely to be met, principally because of the increased
regulatory capital requirements that were introduced at the end of last year.
Our output goal remains
unchanged; it is to produce top quartile total returns for shareholders (TSR) over time. I
am pleased to report - not least because we recognise how difficult an experience the
owners of our shares have had over the last two years - that we have been the best
performing share across our international peer group for the first 6 months of this
year.
The relative importance of the
input goals which we must directly manage to achieve the output goal of top quartile TSR
have changed, however. We believe that the returns to investors will be sensitive in the
period ahead to items additional to economic profit, which has historically been our key
input goal. These include balance sheet size and leverage; RWAs and return on RWAs; the
level of Core Tier One capital; return on equity; our loan to deposit ratio; the
differential between income growth and cost growth; and dividend payments. These are all
areas that we will continue to manage carefully as inputs to our future TSR
performance.
Within that list, our principal input goal is that our return on equity (ROE) will exceed our cost of equity (COE). In the short term, that requires ensuring that the ROE at least achieves COE, so this is the way in which we will judge our performance over the period between now and the end of 2010. In the medium term, a ROE at the rate only of COE is inadequate and we will seek to ensure that the former materially exceeds the latter.
Dividend
We intend to resume dividend payments before the end of 2009. As announced at the Annual General Meeting, it will be our policy to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis. For the second half of 2009 we intend to make an interim cash payment in December, with a final cash dividend for the year being declared in February 2010 and paid in March. Looking forward, we intend to maintain strong capital ratios. We therefore expect that the proportion of profits after tax distributed through dividends will be significantly lower than the 50% level which was maintained in recent years.
H2 2009 Trading
The trends that lie behind our operating performance in the first half of this year were again observable in July. We are realistic about just how difficult the environment is, and will remain, but we are committed to delivering another year of solid profitability through our continued emphasis on serving our customers and clients.
Conclusion
Notwithstanding the tumultuous events of the last two years, we have remained independent and profitable. It has been a humbling experience but we have been able to strengthen our balance sheet and have continued to invest to broaden our business base. We are a British company with an increasingly international footprint and earnings base. Our strategy has helped us weather the crisis and we want our employees, customers and shareholders alike to continue to benefit from it over time.
John Varley, Group Chief Executive
Group Finance Director's
Review
Group Performance
Barclays delivered profit before tax of £2,984m in the first half of 2009, an increase of 8% on 2008. This was after absorbing a further £4,677m of gross losses on credit market exposures (including impairment of £1,170m) and other Group impairment of £3,386m, and £1,192m of gains on debt buy-backs and extinguishment which more than offset a charge of £893m relating to the tightening of own credit spreads.
Income grew 37% to £16,253m. Growth was particularly strong in Barclays Capital,
Barclaycard and a number of the international businesses within Global Retail and
Commercial Banking (GRCB). Within GRCB however, the momentum of income growth is
slowing as the impact of margin compression on deposit income resulting from very low
absolute levels of interest rates takes effect and as we have slowed the rate of growth in
distribution points across the business. Within Barclays Capital reported income
is up 79% compared to the first half of 2008 reflecting the impact of the
successful integration of the acquired Lehman Brothers North American businesses and as
buoyant market conditions observed across most financial markets in the first quarter of
2009 continued through the second quarter. Barclays Capital also experienced losses of
£3,507m relating to credit market exposures held in its trading books, with a
marked deterioration in valuations in monolines and commercial real
estate in the US and Europe having a notable impact. In addition a charge of
£893m relating to own credit on issued structured notes was
recognised as credit spreads tightened.
Impairment charges of £4,556m increased 86% on the first half of 2008. These charges included £1,170m against credit market exposures within Barclays Capital. Wholesale impairment charges increased significantly in the corporate loan books of both Barclays Commercial Bank and in Barclays Capital as corporate credit conditions worsened sharply. In UK Retail Banking impairment increased mainly in Consumer Lending as unemployment continued to rise. UK mortgage impairment charges remained relatively low. Loan loss rates continued to rise at Barclaycard, up to 6.8% across our UK books and 9.8% across our US books for the first half on an annualised basis. Significant impairment growth in our Global Retail and Commercial Banking businesses in Western Europe, Absa and Emerging Markets impacted the retail segments in these markets in particular and also our commercial property and SME portfolios in Spain. The loan loss rate for the period was 144 basis points when measured against constant year-end loans and advances balances and impairment at average 2008 foreign exchange rates.
Operating expenses increased 30% to £8,747m. Much of this increase related to prior
year growth across our distribution network in GRCB and the Lehman Brothers North American
businesses expansion at Barclays Capital. Overall costs across GRCB increased 13%.
Adjusting for the non-recurrence of gains from the sale of property, costs across
GRCB increased 10% reflecting higher pension costs, growth in the
distribution network and new operations in Western Europe and Emerging Markets
including entry into Russia, Pakistan and Indonesia. The number of
full-time employees across the GRCB businesses decreased 5% over the period. Within
Barclays Capital the cost:net income ratio of 75% improved two percentage points
relative to the prior year. Expenses in Barclays Global Investors decreased 5%
in Sterling terms due to recovery on certain liquidity support charges partially
offset by exchange rate moves and deal costs related to the planned disposal of iShares of
£106m. The Group cost:income ratio improved three percentage points to
54%. Staff numbers fell 5% to 145,200 (31st December 2008: 152,800).
Business Performance - Global Retail and Commercial Banking
UK Retail Banking profit before tax decreased 61% to £268m in a challenging economic environment. Income was down 8% reflecting the impact of margin compression net of hedges, partially offset by excellent growth in Home Finance and good growth in Consumer Lending. Total loans and advances to customers increased £1.7bn. Gross new mortgage lending was £6.0bn and net new mortgage lending was £2.2bn in a market which grew £1.1bn on a net basis. The average loan to value ratio of the mortgage book was 44%. Impairment charges increased 63% due to the deteriorating economic environment and growth in assets. Operating expenses increased 6% reflecting non-recurrence of gains from the sale of property and increased pension costs.
Barclays Commercial Bank profit before tax decreased 42% to £404m as economic conditions remained challenging. Income growth of 5% principally reflected continued momentum from net fees and commissions and a gain of £83m from the repurchase of securitised debt issued. Total loans and advances decreased 7%, in part due to net reduction by customers in their overdraft borrowings. New term lending extended to customers was £7.4bn. Operating expenses were tightly controlled with an increase of 9% driven by increased pension costs and lower gains on the sale of property. Impairment charges increased to £467m reflecting the impact of the UK recession with rising default rates and falling asset values across all business segments.
Barclaycard profit before tax increased 1% to £391m. Income growth of 42% reflected strong growth across the portfolios driven by increased lending and improved margins as a result of lower funding rates. Costs increased 10% reflecting growth due to acquisitions made in 2008. Impairment charges increased 92% due to the deteriorating global economic environment with growth in charges across both the international and UK businesses including the impact of the acquisition of Goldfish. The cost:income ratio in the business improved ten percentage points to 35%.
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Western Europe profit before tax fell 73% to £31m. Results included Barclays Russia which incurred a loss of £35m. Income grew 38% as the expanded network continued to mature with average customer assets over the period increasing 32% to £51.1bn. Costs increased 31% reflecting the expansion of the Portuguese and Italian networks, the addition of Barclays Russia, restructuring charges of £24m and reduced gains from the sale of property. Impairment charges increased £198m to £301m, largely driven by deteriorating trends in Spain which led to losses in property-related commercial banking exposures and credit cards.
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Emerging Markets loss before tax of £86m compared to a profit of £52m for the same period in 2008 but included strong income growth across Africa. Income increased 29% with significant growth across established markets in Africa, India and UAE. Impairment charges increased £147m to £213m with marked increases in the retail segment, particularly in India and UAE, as a result of rising unemployment. Operating expense growth of 43% reflected continued investment in infrastructure across new and existing markets.
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Absa profit before tax decreased 17% to £248m. Income growth of 15% was driven by solid balance sheet growth, the appreciation in the average value of the Rand against Sterling and higher fees and commissions. Operating expenses increased 6%, well below the rate of inflation. This led to a five percentage point improvement in the cost:income ratio to 55%. Impairment charges rose £170m to £295m as a result of higher delinquency levels in the retail portfolios reflecting high consumer indebtedness.
Business Performance - Investment Banking and Investment Management
Barclays Capital profit before tax increased 100% to £1,047m as a result of a very strong performance in the underlying business, including the impact of the Lehman Brothers North American businesses acquisition, partially offset by a charge of £893m relating to own credit (2008: £852m gain). Top-line income more than doubled to over £10bn reflecting excellent results particularly in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC), which benefited from client flows and wider spreads. Contribution from Equities and Prime Services increased significantly and Investment Banking (by which we mean advisory businesses and equity and debt underwriting) delivered net income of over £1bn. Operating expenses were 89% higher than 2008 due to the inclusion of the acquired Lehman Brothers North American businesses. Total assets reduced 30% driven by initiatives to reduce derivative, trading portfolio and lending portfolio balances, as well as the appreciation of Sterling against other currencies.
Barclays Global Investors profit before tax increased 4% to £276m. Income fell 2% to £963m due to lower management and incentive fees partially offset by increased net interest revenue. Operating expenses decreased 5% with a recovery on certain liquidity support charges being partially offset by exchange rate movements and deal costs of £106m related to the termination of CVC Capital Partners' proposed purchase of the iShares business. Total assets under management were US$1,678bn, reflecting net new assets of US$108bn, favourable exchange rate movements of US$50bn and positive market moves of US$25bn.
Barclays Wealth profit before tax reduced 59% to £75m principally as a result of the period-on-period effect of the sale of the closed life assurance business in 2008 and the acquisition of Lehman Brothers North American businesses (Barclays Wealth Americas). Income reduced 6%. Excluding the impact of the acquisition and sale, income was in line with 2008 with growth initiatives offset by the impact of reduced interest rates on interest income and lower annuity and transactional fee income as a result of falls in equity markets. Operating expenses grew by 12% principally reflecting the net impact of the acquisition and sale. Client assets remained broadly stable from the year end position after adjusting for the impact of exchange rate movements and a small net outflow in Barclays Wealth Americas.
Business Performance - Head Office Functions and Other Operations
Head Office Functions and Other Operations profit before tax was £330m, an improvement of £792m compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was the result of gains on debt extinguishment of £1,109m partially offset by increased costs in central funding activity due to money market dislocation, in particular LIBOR resets. Costs were in line with the prior year and included £37m for Barclays contribution to the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme for the period.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity, including minority interests, increased 3% to £48.7bn over the first half of 2009 and has increased over 48% since June 2008. The main driver for the increase in 2009 was profit after tax of £2.3bn.
Capital Management
At 30th June 2009, on a Basel
II basis, our Core Tier 1 ratio was 7.1%, our pro forma Core
Tier 1 ratio was 8.8% and our Tier 1 ratio was 10.5%. Capital
ratios reflect a 6% decrease in risk weighted assets to £406bn over the
first half of 2009. This was driven by the combined impacts on risk weighted assets of the
strengthening of Sterling and management actions across all businesses to manage
balance sheet growth. The ratios significantly exceed the minimum levels established by
the FSA.
We continue to expect a single digit percentage rate of risk weighted asset growth annually through the cycle.
We expect to maintain our Core Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios at levels which significantly
exceed the minimum requirements of the FSA for the duration of the current period
of financial and economic stress.
Balance Sheet
Our total assets decreased by
£508bn to £1,545bn over the first half of 2009. There was
a decrease of 8% in total assets
due primarily to favourable moves in exchange rates. £429bn was
attributable to a decrease in derivative assets. Loans and advances decreased by
£44.8bn to £464.7bn over the period principally due to a decrease in
the cash collateral held against derivative trades and the increase in the value of
Sterling relative to other currencies.
Balances attributable to
derivative assets and liabilities would be £506.8bn (31st December 2008:
£917.1bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and
liabilities with the same counterparty or for which we hold cash collateral.
Our assets and liabilities also
include amounts held under investment contracts with third parties of a further
£66.0bn as at 30th June 2009 (31st December 2008: £69.2bn). These constitute
asset management products offered to institutional pension funds which are required to be
recognised as financial instruments. Changes in value in these assets are entirely to the
account of the beneficial owner of the asset.
Excluding these items,
settlement balances, goodwill and intangible assets, our adjusted total tangible assets
were £927.1bn at 30th June 2009 (31st December 2008: £1,026.5bn). On this basis
we define adjusted gross leverage, being the multiple of adjusted total tangible assets
over total qualifying Tier 1 capital. At 30th June 2009 adjusted gross leverage was 22x
(31st December 2008: 28x).
On a pro forma basis taking account of the capital benefit expected to result from the completion of the sale of BGI, our adjusted gross leverage would be 20x.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and risk weighted assets
were affected by the increase in value of Sterling relative to other currencies
during the first half of 2009. As at 30th June 2009, the US Dollar and the Euro had
both depreciated 11% relative to Sterling. We estimate that currency movements
contributed to a reduction of £20bn in risk weighted assets.
Our hedging strategy in respect
of net investments in foreign currencies is designed to mitigate the impact of such
movements on our capital ratios. In this regard, our Core Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital ratios
are currently hedged to approximately 90%, 30% and 100% of the movements in US Dollar, Euro
and South African Rand respectively against Sterling.
The currency translation reserve decreased by £1.8bn to £1.0bn over the first half of 2009. This reflected foreign exchange movements in foreign currency net investments which are largely economically hedged through preference share capital (denominated in US Dollars and Euros) that is not revalued for accounting purposes.
Outlook
We expect the remainder
of 2009 to be challenging, with continuing recessions in many of the
economies in which we are represented. In the first half of 2009 our profits were
reduced by the impacts of substantial gross credit market losses and
impairment. For the remainder of 2009, we expect credit market losses to be
lower than in the first half but impairment trends to be consistent with those experienced
over the first half.
Official interest rates in the UK and elsewhere have reduced significantly in response to the continuing recession. This has had and will continue to have the impact of substantially reducing the spread generated on our retail and commercial banking liabilities, particularly in the UK. We expect this to continue while interest rates are low. The impact on Barclays will be reduced to an extent by our interest rate hedges, which we expect to mitigate around 50% of the second half impact of low interest rates on our liabilities margin. As well as interest rate reductions, governments in the UK and elsewhere have taken significant measures to assist borrowers and lenders. We expect the combined impact of these measures and the lower interest rate environment to be positive for the economy in time.

UK Retail Banking
In a challenging economic environment UK Retail Banking profit before tax decreased 61% (£422m) to £268m (2008: £690m), impacted by the current low interest rates resulting in margin compression on the deposit book, increased impairment charges, the non-recurrence of gains from the sale of property and higher pension costs.
The number of savings accounts increased 8% to 13.0m (31st December 2008: 12.0m),
mortgage accounts increased 8,000 to 824,000 (31st December 2008: 816,000). Local
Business customer numbers increased 12,000 to 672,000 (31st December 2008:
660,000) and there was gross new lending of £561m. Total loans and advances to
customers increased £1.7bn to £96.1bn (31st December 2008: £94.4bn).
Income decreased 8%
(£169m) to £2,007m (2008: £2,176m) reflecting the impact of margin
compression, which more than offset excellent growth in Home Finance and good growth in
Consumer Lending.
Net interest income decreased
9% (£138m) to £1,315m (2008: £1,453m) driven by margin
compression of £381m on liabilities after taking into account gains on
product hedges implemented to protect income on current accounts and managed rate deposits.
This was partially offset by increases in asset driven net interest income. Total
average customer deposit balances increased 3% to £88.5bn (2008: £85.7bn),
reflecting solid growth in Personal Customer Current Account and Savings balances. The
average liabilities margin declined to 1.26% (2008: 2.12%) reflecting reductions
in UK base rates.
Average mortgage balances grew
13%, reflecting positive net lending. Mortgage balances were £84.4bn at the end of
the period (31st December 2008: £82.3bn), a market share of 7% (2008: 7%). Gross
advances reduced to £6.0bn (2008: £12.7bn) reflecting a continued conservative
approach to lending, with redemptions of £3.8bn (2008: £5.6bn). Net
new mortgage lending was £2.2bn (2008: £7.1bn), in a market
of £1.1bn (2008: £26.3bn). The average loan to value ratio of the
mortgage book (including buy-to-let) on a current valuation basis was 44% (2008: 40%). The
average loan to value ratio of new mortgage lending was 46% (2008: 47%). The assets margin
increased to 1.43% (2008: 1.09%) reflecting increased returns from mortgages and consumer
loans.
Net fee and commission income
decreased 4% (£26m) to £613m (2008: £639m) reflecting reduced income from
mortgage application and redemption fees.
Impairment charges increased
63% (£181m) to £469m (2008: £288m), reflecting lower expectations
for recoveries in line with the current economic environment and growth in
customer assets of 8%. Impairment charges within Consumer Lending increased 54% to
£284m (2008: £185m) and mortgage impairment charges remained relatively
low at £35m (2008: £1m). Total impairment charges
represented 0.98% (2008: 0.65%) of total loans and advances to
customers.
Operating expenses increased 6%
(£70m) to £1,272m (2008: £1,202m) reflecting
the non-recurrence of gains from the sale of property of £65m and increased
costs relating to pensions. Excluding these items, costs reduced 4% reflecting continued
active cost management, including further back office consolidation and process
efficiencies.
Total assets increased 1% to £102.6bn (31st December 2008: £101.4bn) driven by net new mortgage lending of £2.2bn. Risk weighted assets increased 4% (£1.2bn) to £31.7bn (31st December 2008: £30.5bn) reflecting growth in asset balances and impact of the current economic environment.

Barclays Commercial Bank
Barclays Commercial Bank profit
before tax decreased 42% (£298m) to £404m
(2008: £702m) in a
challenging economic environment. Income benefited from continued momentum from net fees
and commissions and a gain of £83m from the repurchase
of securitised debt issued. 2008 included a £42m gain from
restructuring of Barclays interest in a third party finance operation. This
was more than offset by a significant increase in impairment resulting from the
impact of the UK recession with rising default rates and falling asset values.
Income grew 5%
(£64m) to £1,413m (2008: £1,349m).
Net interest income
fell 2% (£17m) to £857m (2008: £874m). Although there
was good growth in average lending of 10% (£5.8bn) to
£64.9bn (2008: £59.0bn) reflecting the continued commitment to lend
to viable businesses, income from deposits was affected by margin
compression of £83m resulting from the fall in base rate. Average
customer accounts grew £0.5bn to £47.8bn (2008: £47.3bn) and the deposit
margin declined to 1.18% (2008: 1.48%) reflecting the sharp year on year fall in UK base
rates. The assets margin increased 2 basis points to 1.62% (2008:
1.60%) reflecting a slight increase in term loan margins.
Non-interest income
increased to 39% of total income (2008: 35%) partly reflecting continued focus on
cross sales, impacts of new initiatives and efficient balance sheet utilisation. Net
fee and commission income increased 20% (£78m) to £475m (2008:
£397m), driven by strong debt fees and an increase in customer demand for risk
management solutions in particular derivative sales and foreign
exchange income.
Principal transactions
income decreased £38m to a loss of £26m (2008: profit
of £12m), impacted by investment writedowns and fewer
opportunities for equity realisations in the current market.
Other income
of £107m (2008: £66m) included income from the repurchase
of securitised debt issued of £83m (2008: £7m) and
rental income from operating leases of £18m (2008:
£11m). Prior year income included a £42m gain from restructuring
of Barclays interest in a third party finance operation.
Impairment charges rose
to £467m (2008: £148m), primarily reflecting the impact of the
economic recession across Larger and Medium businesses with pressures on
corporate liquidity, falling asset values and rising default rates. Impairment as
a percentage of period-end loans and advances to customers and banks increased
to 1.43% (2008: 0.42%).
Operating expenses were
tightly controlled and increased 9% (£44m) to £542m (2008: £498m) as
a result of increased pension costs and the non-recurrence of gains on the
sale of property. Excluding these items costs remained flat.
Total assets fell 8% to £77.6bn (31st December 2008: £84.0bn) driven by reduced customer overdraft borrowings and lower volumes in Barclays Asset and Sales Finance (BASF). New term lending extended to customers was £7.4bn. Risk weighted assets fell 3% (£1.6bn) to £61.5bn (31st December 2008: £63.1bn) largely reflecting the reduction in assets and currency movements.

Barclaycard
Barclaycard profit before tax
increased 1% (£3m) to £391m (2008: £388m) reflecting a resilient
performance in challenging market conditions. Strong income growth across the
portfolio, driven by increased lending, improved margins and foreign
exchange gains, was offset by higher impairment charges, driven by the deterioration in the
global economy and increased operating expenses, due to acquisitions in
2008. 2008 results include a gain on acquisition net of restructuring expenses
relating to the purchase of Goldfish, and a gain on a portfolio sale in
the US. Excluding these items profit growth would be 17%.
Income growth of 42%
(£591m) to £2,009m (2008: £1,418m) reflected strong growth across the
portfolios through acquisitions, lower funding rates, and the appreciation of the
average values of the US dollar and the Euro against Sterling.
Net interest income increased
72% (£570m) to £1,357m (2008: £787m) driven by strong growth in
international average extended credit card balances, up 93% to £8.1bn (2008:
£4.2bn), and lower funding rates as margins improved to 9.06% (2008: 6.77%).
Net fee and commission income
increased 6% (£36m) to £620m (2008: £584m) with growth in Barclaycard
International offset by lower volumes in FirstPlus.
Principal transactions of
£21m (2008: £17m) included a £20m gain from the sale of MasterCard shares
(2008: £16m).
Other income in 2008 included a
£18m gain on the sale of a portfolio in the US.
Impairment
charges increased £438m (92%) to £915m (2008: £477m) reflecting
higher charges in Barclaycard International portfolios, particularly Barclaycard US which
was driven by loan growth and higher delinquency due to deteriorating economic
conditions. Impairment in the international markets was adversely affected by the
appreciation of the average values of the US Dollar and the Euro gaining
against Sterling. UK portfolio charges were higher as a result of
rising delinquency and the inclusion of Goldfish in UK Cards.
Operating expenses increased
10% (£67m) to £708m (2008: £641m), due to growth in the portfolios
including the acquisitions made in the UK, US and South Africa in 2008, and
the depreciation of the average value of Sterling against the US Dollar and the
Euro. Costs in 2008 include £54m of restructuring relating to the Goldfish
acquisition.
The purchase of Goldfish resulted in a gain on acquisition of £89m in 2008.
Barclaycard International profit before tax decreased 41% to £59m (2008:
£100m). Strong income growth driven by higher average extended credit balances
was more than offset by impairment growth and increased operating
expenses. International customers grew by 3.7m (46%) to 11.8m, primarily in
the second half of 2008, including a 36% increase in the US, as scale continued
to be built across the portfolios.
Total assets decreased 5% to £29.5bn (31st December 2008: £30.9bn) reflecting the appreciation of Sterling against the US Dollar and Euro, the decision to stop writing new business in FirstPlus and tighter lending criteria. Risk weighted assets decreased 1% (£0.4bn) to £26.9bn (31st December 2008: £27.3bn) reflecting the appreciation of Sterling and lower secured lending balances in FirstPlus.

Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Western Europe
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Western Europe profit before tax fell by 73% (£84m) to £31m (2008: £115m). The results include an operating loss before tax of £35m related to Barclays Russia and restructuring charges of £24m largely concentrated in Spain. All businesses traded profitably except for Barclays Russia which experienced a sharp increase in Rouble funding costs in the first quarter. Profit before tax was favourably impacted by the 15% appreciation in the average value of the Euro against Sterling.
Income increased across all countries improving 38% (£245m) to £886m (2008: £641m) as a result of the significant expansion in the distribution network in 2007 and 2008. The number of distribution points increased 40 to 1,221 (31st December 2008: 1,181).
Net interest income increased 64% (£243m) to £621m (2008: £378m). The increase was principally driven by strong growth in average customer assets of 32% to £51.1bn (2008: £38.7bn) and higher average margins on assets of 1.29% (2008: 1.13%). Average customer liabilities saw strong growth of 55% to £14.9bn (2008: £9.6bn), however the interest rate environment contributed to margin compression with the average liabilities margin declining to 0.68% (2008: 1.29%).
Net fee and commission income, predominantly generated from asset management and insurance product lines, increased 11% (£20m) to £210m (2008: £190m), benefiting from the recent recovery in global equity markets.
Principal transactions fell 8% (£5m) to £58m (2008: £63m), in part due to the non-recurrence of the gain on the sale of shares in MasterCard (2008: £17m).
Impairment charges increased £198m to £301m (2008: £103m), principally due to higher impairment in Spain on the commercial property, construction and SME portfolios and the Spanish cards business.
Operating expenses increased 31% (£131m) to £554m (2008: £423m) due to the continued expansion of the Italian and Portuguese networks, the addition of Barclays Russia, restructuring charges of £24m and lower gains from the sale of property of £8m (2008: £37m). The cost income ratio improved three percentage points to 63% (2008: 66%).
Total assets decreased 9% to £59.9bn (31 December 2008: £65.5bn) principally due to the depreciation in the Euro against Sterling. Risk weighted assets decreased 19% (£6.9bn) to £30.1bn (31st December 2008: £37.0bn) driven by active management, the migration of key retail mortgage portfolios onto the advanced credit risk approach and the depreciation of the Euro against Sterling.
On 25th June 2009, Barclays and CNP Assurances SA (CNP) agreed to establish a long-term life insurance joint venture in Spain, Portugal and Italy. Barclays will sell a 50 per cent stake in Barclays Vida y Pensiones Compania de Seguros, Barclays Iberian life insurance and pensions subsidiary, to CNP. CNP will pay Barclays an upfront cash consideration of approximately €140m (£120m) on completion and an additional consideration up to a maximum of €450m (£385m) over a period of 12 years, dependent on the achievement of certain targets. The transaction is expected to complete in the second half of 2009, subject to regulatory approval.

Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Emerging Markets
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Emerging Markets made a loss before tax of £86m (2008: £52m profit). Strong income growth across all regions was offset by significantly increased retail impairment in India and UAE and the cost of investment in the new markets of Pakistan and Indonesia. Despite economic challenges, profit before tax in the established markets in Africa and the Indian Ocean increased £21m to £94m (2008: £73m).
Income increased
29% (£119m) to £529m (2008: £410m) as a result
of business growth
across most markets.
Net interest income increased 53% (£132m) to £383m (2008: £251m), driven by retail and commercial balance sheet growth in the second half of 2008 with average customer assets up 61% to £9.0bn (2008: £5.6bn) and customer deposits up 27% to £8.4bn (2008: £6.6bn). The assets margin decreased 35 basis points to 4.75% (2008: 5.10%) reflecting higher funding costs. The liabilities margin increased 55 basis points to 2.44% (2008: 1.89%) driven by a change in the product mix and higher returns from funding assets.
Net fee and commission income increased 18% (£17m) to £113m (2008:
£96m) primarily driven by growth in retail and commercial fee
income.
Principal transactions
decreased 46% (£27m) to £32m (2008: £59m) due to
the non-recurrence of a gain from the sale of shares in MasterCard (2008:
£14m) and lower foreign exchange income.
Impairment charges
increased £147m to £213m (2008: £66m) mainly
reflecting weakening delinquency trends, primarily across India and UAE due
to the deteriorating credit environments and portfolio
maturation especially across the retail sector.
Operating expenses increased
43% (£127m) to £419m (2008: £292m) reflecting continued
investment in Pakistan and Indonesia and investment in infrastructure,
people and the rollout of global platforms in existing markets.
Profit on disposal of
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of £17m representing the sale of a
5% stake in the GRCB - Emerging Markets Botswana business.
Total assets decreased 19% (£2.7bn) to £11.2bn (31st December 2008: £13.9bn) driven by a realignment of lending strategy in light of the economic downturn. Risk weighted assets decreased 23% (£3.3bn) to £11.3bn (31st December 2008: £14.6bn) as the business managed down corporate and retail exposure in select markets in response to tighter global credit conditions, and the movements of Sterling against other currencies.

Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Absa
Impact of Absa Group Limited on Barclays Results
Absa Group Limited profit before tax of R4,757m (2008: R7,617m), a decrease of 38%, is translated into Barclays results at an average exchange rate of R13.70/£ (2008: R15.15/£), an 11% appreciation in the average value of the Rand against Sterling. Consolidation adjustments reflected the amortisation of intangible assets of £26m (2008: £24m) and internal funding and other adjustments of £33m (2008: £71m). The resulting profit before tax of £288m (2008: £408m) is represented within Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Absa £248m (2008: £298m), Barclays Capital £6m (2008: £88m), Barclaycard £33m (2008: £22m) and Barclays Wealth £1m (2008: £nil).
Absa Group Limited's total assets were R754,312m (31st December 2008: R773,758m), a decline
of 2%. This is translated into Barclays results at a period-end exchange rate of
R12.73/£ (2008: R13.74/£).
Global Retail and Commercial Banking - Absa
Global Retail and Commercial
Banking - Absa profit before tax decreased 17% (£50m) to £248m (2008:
£298m) owing to challenging market conditions despite the 11% appreciation in the
average value of the Rand against Sterling. Modest Rand income growth
was offset by increased impairment.
Income increased 15%
(£160m) to £1,207m (2008: £1,047m) predominantly reflecting the impact of
exchange rate movements.
Net interest income improved
23% (£117m) to £616m (2008: £499m) reflecting the appreciation in the
average value of the Rand against Sterling and solid balance sheet growth.
Average customer assets increased 21% to £31.8bn (2008: £26.3bn) primarily
driven by retail and commercial mortgages, instalment finance and commercial cheque
accounts. The asset margin increased to 2.74% (2008: 2.57%) as a result of a change in the
composition of the book while pricing changes had a negligible impact. Average customer
liabilities increased 32% to £16.5bn (2008: £12.5bn), primarily driven by
retail savings, with margins down 100 basis points to 2.43% (2008: 3.43%) reflecting
strong growth in lower margin retail deposits, pricing pressure from competitors and
the decrease in interest rates.
Net fee and commission income
increased 25% (£86m) to £434m (2008: £348m), reflecting pricing increases
and the impact of exchange rate movements.
Principal transactions
decreased £72m to £54m (2008: £126m) reflecting gains of £17m from
the sale of shares in MasterCard offset by the non-recurrence in 2009 of
gains on economic hedges and the Visa IPO (2008: £46m).
Net premiums from insurance
contracts increased 24% (£27m) to £138m (2008: £111m) reflecting strong
volumes in short-term insurance and the impact of exchange rate movements.
Other income increased
£17m to £40m (2008: £23m) reflecting higher property rental
income, and fair value gains on investment properties.
Impairment charges increased
£170m to £295m (2008: £125m) as a result of rising delinquency levels in
the retail portfolios as a result of high consumer indebtedness, despite the decline in
interest and inflation rates during the first half of the year.
Operating expenses increased 6%
(£38m) to £665m (2008: £627m). The cost:income ratio improved five
percentage points to 55% (2008: 60%).
Total assets increased 5% (£2.2bn) to £42.6bn (31st December 2008: £40.4bn) and risk weighted assets increased 7% (£1.4bn) to £20.2bn (31st December 2008: £18.8bn), reflecting the impact of exchange rate movements, partially offset by the disclosure of Absa's Wealth business within Barclays Wealth.

Barclays Capital
Barclays Capital profit before tax increased 100% to £1,047m (2008: £524m). The substantial increase in income and profit reflected very strong performances in the UK, Europe and Asia and a transformation in the scale and service offering in the US through the integration of the acquired Lehman businesses. Profit before tax also reflected credit market writedowns of £4,677m (2008: £3,333m), including £1,170m of impairment, and a loss on own credit of £893m (2008: £852m gain).

Income of £6,089m was up 79% (2008: £3,411m), reflecting strength across the client franchise. Top-line income more than doubled to £10,489m (2008: £4,784m) and was generated evenly across the first two quarters of 2009. Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities produced excellent results which drove a strong increase in trading and interest income. In particular Barclays Capital benefited from increased client flows and wider spreads in fixed income rates and credit. This was supported by significant growth in emerging markets and commodities and increased volumes in currencies. The contribution from Equities and Prime Services increased significantly following the Lehman Brothers North American businesses acquisition with a strong performance in equity cash and derivative products, and in prime services from the expanded client base and increased margins.
Investment Banking, which comprises advisory businesses and equity and debt underwriting,
delivered net revenues of over £1bn driven by origination and advisory
activity. Together with the cash equity business, this drove a significant
rise in fee and commission income.
Net investment loss of
£265m (2008: income of £304m) was driven by realised losses
in a commercial real estate equity investment and losses in our principal
investments business.
Impairment of £1,874m
(2008: £1,226m) included non credit market related impairment of £704m (2008:
£118m) which principally related to charges in the portfolio management, global loans
and principal investment businesses.
Operating
expenses increased 89% to £3,176m (2008: £1,679m), reflecting the
inclusion of the acquired Lehman business and higher performance related costs. There was
a two percentage point improvement in the cost:net
income ratio.
Total headcount decreased from
23,100 at 31st December 2008 to 21,900 as a result of reductions across the
business, which more than offset recruitment.
The corporate lending
portfolio declined 24% to £58.3bn (31st December 2008:
£76.6bn), primarily due to reductions in lending to non UK clients,
the repayment of leveraged finance exposure and the appreciation of Sterling
against other currencies.
Total assets reduced 30% to
£1,133.7bn (31st December 2008: £1,629.1bn) primarily as a
result of reductions in derivative balances. Additional reductions across
trading portfolio and lending asset classes as well as the appreciation of
Sterling against other currencies, contributed to an overall decrease of 13% on
the adjusted gross leverage assets to £591.1bn (31st December 2008:
£681.0bn). Risk weighted assets reduced 8% to £209.8bn (31st
December 2008: £227.4bn) driven by the reduction in the balance sheet
offset by the impact of credit downgrades.
Average DVaR at 95% of £87.4m was broadly in line with the total DVaR as at 31st December 2008. Total DVaR at 30th June 2009 was £71.1m.

Barclays Global Investors
Barclays Global Investors profit before tax increased 4% (£11m) to £276m (2008: £265m). Profit was impacted by recovery on liquidity support charges, deal costs of £106m and a 32% appreciation in the average value of the US Dollar against Sterling. Income declined 2% (£24m) to £963m (2008: £987m).
Net fee and commission income declined 6% (£64m) to £923m (2008:
£987m). This was primarily attributable to lower management fees and reduced
incentive fees of £11m (2008: £39m). This was partially offset by
increased net interest revenue.
Operating expenses
excluding deal costs decreased 20% (£141m) to £581m (2008:
£722m). Operating expenses excluding deal costs benefited from a recovery
of £13m on liquidity support charges in the first half of 2009 (2008:
charge of £196m). Deal costs of £106m reflected the break fee
paid to CVC Capital Partners on termination of the planned disposal of the
iShares business. The cost:income ratio improved two percentage
points to 71% (2008: 73%).
Total assets under
management decreased 2% (£21bn) to £1,019bn (31st December 2008:
£1,040bn) comprising £127bn of negative exchange rate movements, partially
offset by £72bn of net new assets and £34bn of favourable market movements. In
US Dollar terms assets under management increased 12% ($183bn) to $1,678bn (31st
December 2008: $1,495bn), comprising $108bn of net new assets, $50bn of
favourable exchange rate movements and $25bn of positive market movements.
Total assets
decreased 5% (£3.5bn) to £67.8bn (31st December 2008:
£71.3bn), mainly attributable to adverse market movements in certain asset management
products recognised as investment contracts. Risk weighted assets decreased
5% (£0.2bn) to £3.7bn (31st December 2008: £3.9bn) mainly
attributed to changes in the asset class
mix, and the strengthening of Sterling against other
currencies.
On 16th June 2009 the Board of Barclays PLC announced that it had accepted BlackRock's offer to purchase the Barclays Global Investors business and has resolved to recommend it to shareholders for approval at a general meeting on 6th August 2009.
The continuing operations of BGI represent certain cash fund assets, their associated valuation charges and liquidity support charges. Further information on the disposal is set out in note 33 on page 118.

Barclays Wealth
Barclays Wealth profit before tax reduced 59% to £75m as a result of the sale of the closed life assurance business on 31st October 2008 (profit before tax of £89m in the first half of 2008) and the integration of the Lehman Brothers North American businesses (Barclays Wealth Americas) which made a loss of £15m as business operations continued to be re-established. Excluding the impact of these transactions profit before tax reduced by 4% in difficult market conditions.
Income reduced 6% (£41m) to £627m (2008: £668m) driven by the sale of
the closed life business partly offset by the addition of Barclays Wealth
Americas. Excluding the impact of these two transactions, income
was flat with benefits of new business offset by the impact of reduced
interest rates on interest income and lower annuity and transactional fee income as a
result of falls in equity markets.
Net interest income increased
9% (£21m) to £246m (2008: £225m) reflecting growth in customer deposits
and lending and pricing changes as the assets margin increased 11 basis points to
1.13% (2008: 1.02%). Average lending grew 30% to £12.1bn (2008:
£9.3bn). Average deposits grew 6% to £38.2bn (2008:
£36.0bn). The liabilities margin reduced by 15 basis points to 0.80% (2008:
0.95%) driven by margin compression due to lower interest rates.
Net fee and commission income
increased 6% (£20m) to £369m (2008: £349m) driven by Barclays Wealth
Americas.
The decreases in principal transactions and net premiums from insurance contracts were due to the sale of the closed life assurance business.
Impairment
charges increased £9m to £21m (2008:
£12m). This growth reflected both the increase in the loan book over
the last three years and the impact of the current economic environment on client liquidity
and collateral values.
Operating expenses increased
12% (£58m) to £532m (2008: £474m) principally reflecting the
impact of the acquisition of Barclays Wealth Americas.
Total client assets, comprising customer deposits and client investments, were £134.1bn (31st December 2008 £145.1bn). The reduction principally reflects exchange rate movement and a small net outflow in Barclays Wealth Americas.

Head Office Functions and Other Operations
Head Office Functions and Other
Operations profit before tax increased £792m to £330m (2008: loss of
£462m).
Total income increased
£787m to £523m (2008: loss of £264m).
During 2009, certain
upper Tier 2 perpetual debt was exchanged for new issuances of lower Tier 2 dated loan
stock resulting in net gains of £1,109m. Gains of £1,127m have been included
within other income and fees paid of £18m included within net fee and commission
income.
Group segmental reporting is
performed in accordance with Group accounting policies. This means that inter-segment
transactions are recorded in each segment as if undertaken on an arm's length basis.
Adjustments necessary to eliminate inter-segment transactions are included in Head Office
Functions and Other Operations. The impact of such inter-segment adjustments decreased
£5m to £135m (2008: £140m). These adjustments included internal fees for
structured capital market activities of £147m (2008: £98m) and fees paid to
Barclays Capital for debt and equity raising and risk management advice of £22m
(2008: £67m), both of which reduce net fee and commission income. In addition a
consolidation adjustment is required to match the booking of certain derivative hedging
transactions between different segments in the Group. This resulted in a £131m
decrease in net interest income with an offsetting increase in principal transactions.
Net interest income decreased £532m to a loss of £511m (2008: profit of £21m) primarily due to an increase in costs in central funding activity due to the money market dislocation, in particular LIBOR resets, and a decrease of £131m in the consolidation adjustment on hedging derivatives.
Principal transactions increased £216m to a profit of £78m (2008: loss of £138m) reflecting a £131m increase in consolidation reclassification adjustment on hedging derivatives.
Other income increased
£1,111m to £1,135m (2008: £24m). This reflects the gain made on
debt extinguishment.
Operating expenses decreased
£3m to £192m (2008: £195m). This reflects a reduction of £26m in
the costs relating to an internal review of Barclays compliance with US economic sanctions
(2008: £52m) and reduced staff costs, partially offset by a charge of £37m for
the Group's share of levies that will be raised by the UK Financial Services Compensation
Scheme (2008: nil) and lower proceeds on property sales.

Risk Management
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
As a consequence of adverse economic conditions in most of the parts of the world in which Barclays operates, the overall market and risk environment has been challenging for all of Barclays businesses in the first half of 2009.
Barclays continues to actively manage its businesses to mitigate this risk and address these challenges. Since the year end there have been no material changes to the risk management processes as described in the Risk Management section of our Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2008.
Pages 36 to 67 of this Interim Results Announcement provide further details with respect to Barclays risk exposures:
· Pages 38 to 64 provide an analysis of the key credit risks faced by Barclays across a number of asset classes and businesses, referencing significant portfolios and including summary measures of asset quality. Additional information referenced in this section is to be found in the notes to the financial statements. Further information on the detail within this section is as follows:
- Analysis of total assets by valuation basis and underlying asset class (pages 36 to 37)
- Detailed disclosures and analysis of Barclays Capital's credit market exposures by asset class, covering current exposures, losses in the year, sales and paydowns, foreign exchange movements and, where appropriate, details of collateral held, geographic spread, vintage and credit quality (pages 38 to 49)
- Quality of loans and advances to banks and customers with further information being provided on:
> Loans and advances at amortised cost, impairment charges and segmental analyses (pages 50 to 52)
> Wholesale Credit Risk (pages 53 to 57)
> Retail Credit Risk (pages 58 to 61)
> Potential Credit Risk Loans and Coverage Ratios (pages 60 to 61)
- Statistical measure of credit losses under Expected Loss (pages 62 to 63)
- Analysis of the credit quality of debt and similar securities, other than loans held within Barclays (page 64)
· Pages 65 to 66 provide an analysis of market risk and, in particular, Barclays Capital's DVaR
· Pages 66 to 67 set out the key measures of liquidity risk, including Barclays surplus liquidity, GRCB and Barclays Wealth surplus liquidity and funding, Barclays Capital funding and commentary on unsecured and secured funding
Barclays is also affected
by legal risk and regulatory compliance risk through the extensive range of legal
obligations, regulations and codes in force in the territories in
which Barclays operates. The principal uncertainties regarding these
risks are further discussed on pages 107 to 109.

During the period ended 30th June 2009, these exposures have been reduced by net sales and paydowns of £6,252m, including a £3,056m sale of leveraged finance exposure which was repaid at par, £1,448m of Alt-A and £865m of sub-prime exposure. Exposure reductions were impacted as the US Dollar and the Euro both depreciated 11% relative to Sterling.
In the period to 30th June, there were gross writedowns of £4,677m (2008:
£3,333m), before related income and hedges of £346m (2008: £502m) and own
credit losses of £893m (2008: gain £852m).
The gross writedowns, which included £1,170m (2008: £1,108m) in impairment
charges, comprised: £1,745m (2008: £2,832m) against US residential mortgage
exposures; £2,009m (2008: £271m) against commercial mortgage exposures; and
£923m (2008: £230m) against other credit market exposures.

ABS CDO Super Senior exposure
at 30th June 2009 comprised five high grade liquidity facilities which were fully drawn and
classified within loans and receivables.
During the period, ABS CDO
Super Senior exposures reduced by £849m to £2,255m (31st December 2008:
£3,104m). Net exposures are stated after writedowns and charges of £437m
incurred in 2009 (2008: £875m). There was a decline of £321m resulting
from
stronger Sterling and amortisation of £91m in the period.
The impairment assessment of these exposures is based on cash flow methodology using standard market assumptions such as default curves and remittance data to calculate the net present value of the future losses for the collateral pool over time. As a result, future potential impairment charges depend on changes in these assumptions.
1 Marks above reflect the gross exposure after impairment and subordination.

2008: £3,441m), driven by net sales, paydowns and other movements of £792m
and gross losses of £654m. Stronger Sterling resulted in a decrease in
exposure of £248m.
At 30th June 2009, 75% of the
whole loan exposure remaining was performing. Whole loans were largely originated by
EquiFirst. On 17th February 2009, the operations of EquiFirst were discontinued. No
sub-prime loans were originated in 2009.
Counterparty derivative exposures to vehicles which hold sub-prime collateral was
£370m (31st December 2008: £643m). The majority of this exposure was the most
senior obligation of the vehicles.

Net exposure reduced by £367m to £1,272m (31st December 2008: £1,639m). This reflected an increase in the credit valuation adjustment and stronger Sterling which was partially offset by an increase in fair value exposure in local currency.
Claims become due in the event of default of the underlying assets. There is
uncertainty as to whether all of the monoline insurers will be able to meet liabilities if
such claims were to arise. Certain monoline insurers have been subject to downgrades
in 2009. A fair value loss of £256m was recognised in 2009 (2008: £94m). There
have been no claims due under these contracts as none of the underlying
assets defaulted in the period.
The fair value is determined by a credit valuation adjustment calculation which incorporates stressed cashflow shortfall projections, current market valuations, stressed Probability of Default (PDs) and a range of Loss Given Default (LGD) assumptions. The cashflow shortfall projections are stressed to ensure that the valuation considers the potential for further market deterioration and resultant additional cashflow shortfall in underlying collateral. In addition, depending on the monoline and the underlying asset, it considers current market valuations. Monoline ratings are based on external ratings analysis and where appropriate significant internal analysis conducted by the independent Credit Risk function. In addition, the valuation reflects the potential for further deterioration of monolines by using stressed PDs. LGDs range from 45% to 100% depending on the monoline.
The notional value of the assets split by the rating of the underlying asset is shown below.

2008: £11,578m) and commercial mortgage-backed securities of £580m (31st
December 2008: £735m). In the period there were gross losses of £1,460m, of
which £856m relates to the US and £561m relates to
Europe; Sterling movement decreased exposure by £1,275m. There were gross
sales and paydowns of £418m in the US and £202m in
the UK and Continental Europe.
The commercial real estate loan
exposure comprised 54% US, 42% UK and Europe and 4% Asia.
Two large transactions comprised 44% of the total US exposure. The remaining 56% of the US exposure comprised 71 transactions. The remaining weighted average number of years to initial maturity of the US portfolio is 1.2 years (31st December 2008: 1.4 years).
The UK and Europe portfolio is well diversified with 63 transactions as at 30th June 2009. In Europe protection is provided by loan covenants and periodic LTV retests, which cover 84% of the portfolio. 48% of the German exposure relates to one transaction secured on residential assets.

Net exposure reduced by £287m to £1,567m (31st December 2008: £1,854m). This reflected an increase in the credit valuation adjustment and stronger Sterling which was partially offset by an increase in fair value exposure in local currency.
Claims would become due in the event of default of the underlying assets. At 30th June
2009, 82% of the underlying assets were rated AAA/AA.
There is uncertainty as
to whether all of the monoline insurers will be able to meet liabilities if
such claims were to arise: certain monoline insurers have been subject to downgrades in
2009. A fair value loss of £549m was recognised in 2009 (2008:
£100m). There have been no claims due under these contracts as none of the underlying
assets defaulted in the period.
The fair value is determined by a credit valuation adjustment calculation which incorporates stressed cashflow shortfall projections, current market valuations, stressed Probability of Default (PDs) and a range of Loss Given Default (LGD) assumptions. The cashflow shortfall projections are stressed to ensure that the valuation considers the potential for further market deterioration and resultant additional cashflow shortfall in underlying collateral. In addition, depending on the monoline and the underlying asset, it considers current market valuations. Monoline ratings are based on external ratings analysis and where appropriate significant internal analysis conducted by the independent Credit Risk function. In addition, the valuation reflects the potential for further deterioration of monolines by using stressed PDs. LGDs range from 45% to 100% depending on the monoline.

Leveraged loans are classified
within loans and advances and are stated at amortised cost less impairment. The overall
credit performance of the assets remains satisfactory with the majority of the portfolio
performing to plan or in line with original stress tolerances. There are however
a small number of deteriorating positions and as a result the impairment has increased.
At 30th June 2009, the gross exposure relating to leveraged finance loans was £7,157m (31st December 2008: £10,506m) following a repayment of £3,056m at par in January 2009. Of this exposure, £6,426m was drawn at 30th June 2009 (31st December 2008: £9,476m).
There are two major loans comprising 48% of the exposure which continue to perform strongly.

Credit derivative product companies (CDPCs) are specialist providers of credit protection principally on corporate exposures in the form of credit derivatives. Barclays Capital has purchased protection from CDPCs against a number of securities with a notional value of £1,492m (31st December 2008: £1,772). The fair value of the exposure to CDPCs at 30th June 2009 was £84m (31st December 2008: £150m). There was no new trading activity since 31st December 2008.
Of the notional exposure, 47% (31st December 2008: 45%) related to AAA/AA rated
counterparties, with the remainder rated A/BBB.
Exposures have reduced in the period due to maturing of various credit derivatives. The remaining portfolio has an average life of 3.6 years.

Net exposure reduced
by £442m to £4,497m (31st December 2008:
£4,939m). This reflected an increase in the credit valuation
adjustment and stronger Sterling, which was partially offset by an
increase in fair value exposure in local currency.
Claims would become due in the
event of default of the underlying assets. At 30th June 2009, 93% of the underlying
assets have investment grade ratings and 39% were wrapped by monolines rated
AAA/AA. 87% of the underlying assets were CLOs, 94% of which were rated
AAA/AA.
There is uncertainty whether
all of the monoline insurers would be able to meet all liabilities if such claims were to
arise certain monoline insurers have been subject to downgrades in 2009. Consequently, a
fair value loss of £593m was recognised in 2009 (2008: £173m). There
have been no claims due under these contracts as none of the underlying
assets defaulted in the period.
The fair value is determined by a credit valuation adjustment calculation which incorporates stressed cashflow shortfall projections, current market valuations, stressed Probability of Default (PDs) and a range of Loss Given Default (LGD) assumptions. The cashflow shortfall projections are stressed to ensure that the valuation considers the potential for further market deterioration and resultant additional cashflow shortfall in underlying collateral. In addition, depending on the monoline and the underlying asset, it considers current market valuations. Monoline ratings are based on external ratings analysis and where appropriate significant internal analysis conducted by the independent Credit Risk function. In addition, the valuation reflects the potential for further deterioration of monolines by using stressed PDs. LGDs range from 45% to 100% depending on the monoline.

Own Credit
The carrying amount of issued
notes that are designated under the IAS 39 fair value option is adjusted to reflect the
effect of changes in own credit spreads. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the
income statement.
At 30th June 2009, the own credit adjustment arose from the fair valuation of £53.1bn of Barclays Capital structured notes (31st December 2008: £54.5bn). The tightening of Barclays credit default swap spreads in the period affected the fair value of these notes and as a result revaluation losses of £893m were recognised in trading income (2008: gain £852m).
Barclays Capital also uses credit default swap spreads to determine the impact of Barclays
own credit quality on the fair value of derivative liabilities. At 30th
June 2009, cumulative adjustments of £596m (31st December 2008:
£1,176m) were netted against derivative liabilities. The impact of
these adjustments in both periods were more than offset by the impact
of the credit valuation adjustments to reflect counterparty
creditworthiness that were netted against derivative assets.

Gross loans and advances to customers and banks at amortised cost fell 8% to £473,584m (31st December 2008: £516,096m).
The fall in balances in the wholesale portfolio was primarily within Barclays Capital, where gross loans and advances fell by £32,415m (16%), principally due to a decrease in the cash collateral held against derivative trades and the increase in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies. Balances in Barclays Commercial Bank fell by £5,125m (7%) due to reduced customer demand in Larger Business and BASF.
In the retail portfolios, balances were stable. There were increases of £1,766m (2%) in UK Retail Banking, reflecting a rise of £2,126m (3%) in Home Finance balances, and of £1,038m (4%) in GRCB - Absa, mainly due to increases in the Home Finance book. These were offset by falls in GRCB - Emerging Markets, GRCB - Western Europe, and Barclaycard, which were principally driven by an increase in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies.
1 For 30.06.09, the impairment charge provided above relates to the six months ended 30.06.09. For 31.12.08, the impairment charge provided above relates to the twelve months ended 31.12.08
2 The loan loss rates for 30.06.09 have been calculated on an annualised basis.
Impairment Charges
Impairment charges on loans and advances increased 73% (£1,642m) to £3,903m (2008: £2,261m). Approximately one third of this increase was attributable to currency movements and methodology and model enhancements, with the remainder being driven by economic deterioration and portfolio maturation. This increase in impairment, combined with a fall in loans and advances balances means that the impairment charges on loans and advances as a percentage of period-end Group total loans and advances increased to 165bps (31st December 2008: 95bps). When measured against constant year-end loans and advances balances and impairment at average 2008 foreign exchange rates, the loan loss rate for the period was 144 bps.
In the wholesale portfolios, impairment charges on loans and advances rose 51%
(£646m) to £1,922m (2008: £1,276m) mainly as a consequence of increases
in Barclays Capital, Barclays Commercial Bank and GRCB - Western Europe (Spain).
With gross loans and advances falling by 13% to £273,032m (31st December
2008: £314,508m), the wholesale loan loss rate increased to 141bps (31st December
2008: 82bps).
In the retail portfolios, impairment charges on loans and advances rose 101% (£996m) to £1,981m (2008: £985m), as a consequence of increased impairment across all GRCB businesses, particularly in the international portfolios. With gross loans and advances remaining broadly stable at £200,552m (31st December 2008: £201,588m), the retail loan loss rate increased to 198bps (31st December 2008: 116bps).

Wholesale Credit Risk
As we enter the second half of 2009, the principal uncertainties relating to the performance of the wholesale portfolios are:
· The depth and duration of the recessions in the UK, US, Spain and South Africa
· The potential for single name risk and for idiosyncratic losses in different sectors and geographies where credit positions are sensitive to economic downturn
· The performance of the underlying collateral supporting US RMBS and related positions, which may deteriorate further
· Possible additional deterioration in the underlying collateral supporting our other credit market exposures, including monolines, commercial real estate and leveraged finance
Gross loans and advances fell 13% to £273,032m (31st December 2008: £314,508m), largely due to Barclays Capital where loans and advances fell by £32,415m (16%), principally due to a decrease in the cash collateral held against derivative trades and the increase in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies. Gross loans and advances in Barclays Commercial Bank fell by £5,125m (7%) due to reduced customer demand in Larger Business and BASF. The fall in balances of £1,805m (11%) in GRCB -Western Europe was primarily due to the strengthening of Sterling against the Euro.
Impairment charges on loans and advances rose 51% (£646m) to £1,922m (2008:
£1,276m), primarily in Barclays Capital. In Barclays Commercial Bank, impairment
charges rose in both the Larger and Medium Business divisions as default rates rose and
asset values fell. Impairment rose in GRCB - Western Europe, reflecting the
impact of economic deterioration in Spain on the commercial, construction, and
SME portfolios, and in GRCB Absa, which rose from a low base, reflecting the deterioration
in wholesale credit conditions.
The loan loss rate on the wholesale and corporate portfolio rose to 141bps (31st December 2008: 82bps).

2 The loan loss rates for 30.06.09 have been calculated on an
annualised basis.
Barclays Capital wholesale loans and advances decreased 16% to £176,181m (31st December 2008: £208,596m). This was driven by a decrease in the cash collateral held against derivative trades and the increase in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies.
The corporate lending portfolio declined 24% to £58,277m (31st December 2008:
£76,556m) primarily due to reductions in lending to non-UK clients, the repayment of
leveraged finance exposure and the appreciation of Sterling against other
currencies.
Included within corporate lending and other wholesale lending portfolios are £6,595m (31st December 2008: £7,674m) of loans backed by retail mortgage collateral classified within financial institutions.

Property balances within loans and advances held at amortised cost and those held at fair
value totalled £15,965m (31st December 2008: £16,351m) of which £8,528m
related to Social Housing (31st December 2008: £8,795m).

Retail Credit Risk
As we enter the second half of 2009, the principal uncertainties relating to the performance of the retail portfolios are:
The depth and duration of the recessions in the UK, US, Spain and South Africa
The speed and extent of further
rises in unemployment in those markets and the impact on delinquency and charge-off
rates
The possibility of further,
sustained falls in residential property prices in the UK, South Africa and Spain
The uncertain outlook for
inflation and interest rates, and resulting further impact on unemployment
The availability of and demand
for retail credit
Gross loans and advances to
retail customers were stable at £200,552m (31st December 2008: £201,588m) with
increases of £1,766m (2%) in UK Retail Banking, reflecting a rise of £2,126m
(3%) in Home Finance balances, and £1,038m (4%) in GRCB - Absa mainly due
to increases in the Home Finance book, offset by reductions in balances in GRCB -
Emerging Markets, GRCB - Western Europe, and Barclaycard, which were principally driven
by an increase in the value of Sterling relative to other currencies.
Impairment charges on loans and
advances increased 101% (£996m) to £1,981m (2008: £985m) as charges
increased across all businesses, but most notably in the international portfolios where
delinquency balances and rates increased as the economic environment deteriorated and
unemployment rose.
The loan loss rate on the retail portfolios increased to 198bps (31st December 2008: 116bps).

Home Loans
The Group's principal home loans portfolios continue to be in the UK Retail Banking Home Finance business (63% of the Group's total), GRCB - Western Europe (23%) primarily Spain, and South Africa (14%). Credit quality of the principal home loan portfolios reflected relatively conservative levels of high LTV lending. Using current valuations, the average LTV of the portfolios as at 30th June 2009 was 44% (31st December 2008: 40%) for UK Home Finance, 50% for Spain (31st December 2008: 48%) and 43% (31st December 2008: 41%) for South Africa. The average LTV for new mortgage business during 2009 at origination was 46% (31st December 2008: 47%) for UK Home Finance, 55% (31st December 2008: 63%) for Spain and 54% (31st December 2008: 58%) for South Africa. The percentage of balances with an LTV of over 85% based on current values was 17% (31st December 2008: 10%) for UK Home Finance, 6% (31st December 2008: 5%) for Spain and 29% (31st December 2008: 25%) for South Africa. In the UK, buy-to-let mortgages comprised 6% of the total stock.
Impairment charges rose across the home loans portfolios, reflecting the impact of lower
house prices as well as some increases in arrears rates. Three-month arrears as at 30th
June 2009 were 1.16% (31st December 2008: 0.91%) for UK mortgages, 0.76% (31st
December 2008: 0.51%) for Spain and 4.02% (31st December 2008: 2.11%)
for South Africa.

Arrears rates in the UK Cards portfolio rose during the first half of the year to 2.09% (31st December 2008: 1.57%), reflecting the impact of the economic downturn.

Credit Risk Loans (CRLs) rose 27% to £19,945m (2008: £15,700m). Balances were higher in all businesses as credit conditions continued to deteriorate across Barclays areas of operations. The most notable increases were in the international businesses in Global Retail and Commercial Banking, and the UK Home Finance and unsecured loan portfolios.
Retail Credit Risk Loans rose 33% to £10,017m (31st December 2008: £7,508m).
CRL balances were higher in all businesses as retail credit conditions deteriorated. The
most notable increases were in the international businesses in GRCB, particularly Absa, and
UK Retail Banking, particularly the Home Finance and unsecured loans
portfolios.
CRLs in retail secured mortgage
products increased by £1,209m (43%) to £3,992m (31st December 2008:
£2,783m). The key driver was Absa Home Finance where balances increased significantly
as a result of the deteriorating economy. Increases were also seen in UK Home Finance,
reflecting lower UK house prices and the slowing economy, and in Spain, as
economic conditions deteriorated.
CRLs in the unsecured and other
retail portfolios increased by £1,300m (28%) to £6,025m (31st December 2008:
£4,725m). The key drivers for this increase were: Absa, which was
impacted by the deteriorating economy; Barclaycard US, due to deteriorating
credit conditions which resulted in rising delinquency rates; and in Spain, as
economic conditions deteriorated and consumer indebtedness increased.
Wholesale Credit Risk Loans (CRLs) rose 21% to £9,928m (31st December 2008: £8,192m). CRL balances were higher in all businesses, reflecting the continuing downturn in economic conditions, with some further deterioration across default grades, higher levels of Early Warning List balances, and a rise in impairment and loan loss rates in most wholesale portfolios. The largest increases were in Barclays Commercial Bank, GRCB Western Europe and Barclays Capital. CRLs on Barclays Capital's Credit market exposures decreased £552m (13%) to £3,565m (31st December 2008: £4,117m), although the movement of Sterling against the United States Dollar was a significant driver for this fall.
Potential Problem Loans
Balances within the Group's Potential Problem Loans (PPLs) category rose by 39% to £3,402m (31st December 2008: £2,456m). The principal movements were in the retail portfolios, where PPLs rose £685m to £1,182m (31st December 2008: £497m) as credit conditions deteriorated, particularly in the international portfolios. PPL balances also increased in the wholesale and corporate portfolios to £2,220m (31st December 2008: £1,959m).
Potential Credit Risk Loans
Group Potential Credit Risk Loan (PCRL) balances rose 29% to £23,347m (31st December 2008: £18,156m). Excluding Barclays Capital's Credit Market exposures, PCRLs increased 41% to £19,782m (31st December 2008: £14,039m).
Total retail PCRL balances increased 40% to £11,199m (31st December 2008:
£8,005m) as delinquency rates rose across a number of secured and unsecured
portfolios, particularly in the UK, US, Spain and South Africa.
Total PCRL balances in the corporate and wholesale portfolios increased by 20% to £12,148m (31st December 2008: £10,151m) as a number of customers migrated into the CRL and PPL categories, reflecting higher default probabilities in the deteriorating global wholesale environment.
Impairment Allowances and Coverage Ratios
Impairment allowances increased
34% to £8,836m (31st December 2008: £6,574m). The Group's CRL coverage ratio
increased to 44.3% (31st December 2008: 41.9%). The most significant driver was the higher
coverage of Credit Market exposures. The Group's PCRL coverage ratio also increased to
37.8% (31st December 2008: 36.2%).
Retail impairment allowances
increased 30% to £4,872m (31st December 2008: £3,739m). The CRL coverage
ratio decreased to 48.6% (31st December 2008: 49.8%). The PCRL coverage ratio
decreased to 43.5% (31st December 2008: 46.7%), as a result of higher PPL balances.
In the wholesale and corporate portfolios, impairment allowances increased 40% to £3,964m (31st December 2008: £2,835m). The CRL coverage ratio rose to 39.9% (31st December 2008: 34.6%). The overall PCRL coverage ratio also rose to 32.6% (31st December 2008: 27.9%). The main driver for this increase in the coverage ratios was the higher coverage in Credit Markets exposure.
Expected Loss
Basel II, introduced in 2008,
includes, for those aspects of an entity's exposures that are on an Internal
Ratings Based (IRB) approach, a statistical measure of credit losses known as
Expected Loss (EL). EL is an estimate of the average loss amount from:
· |
Defaulted and past due items at the reported date (i.e. incurred losses) |
· |
Modelled default events over a 12 month forward period for performing exposures |
On the performing portfolios it
is calculated as the product of Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and
Exposure at Default (EAD).
In light of the increasing
prevalence of EL across the market, Barclays has decided to
adopt EL rather than Risk Tendency (RT) as its statistical measure
of credit losses. The main differences between the application of EL and RT are:
· |
EL is assessed against both the performing and non-performing parts of the Group's portfolios, whereas RT is intended to measure the credit quality of the performing sections of the portfolios |
· |
EL considers average credit conditions, generally uses a "through-the-cycle" probability of default (PD) and incorporates an adjustment to Loss Given Default (LGD) which represents economic conditions in a downturn. RT, in contrast, uses current credit conditions, a "point-in-time" PD and has no further adjustment to represent economic conditions in a downturn |
The aspect of an entity's exposures that are not on an IRB approach will continue to be measured on the standardised approach, against which Basel II does not assess EL. For this purpose, the regulatory impairment allowance on IRB and standardised portfolios gives an indication of credit losses on the standardised book.
The total EL (and, for reference, the regulatory impairment allowance) on IRB portfolios, together with the regulatory impairment allowance on standardised portfolios, are as follows:

EL is reflected in the calculation of capital supply, such that, for IRB portfolios, 50% of the excess of EL over total impairment allowances and valuation adjustments is deducted from each of Tier 1 and Tier 2. If total impairment allowances and valuation adjustments exceed EL, then this excess can be added to Tier 2 capital.
There are several differences in the calculation of the regulatory impairment allowance and
EL, with these measures representing different views of losses and, as such, they are not
directly comparable. These differences include the fact that regulatory impairment
allowance reflects defaulted and past due items at the reporting date (i.e. incurred
losses), whereas EL includes both the best estimate of losses in the non-performing
portfolio and the expected losses over the coming 12 months in the performing portfolio. EL
for the performing portfolio is also based on Exposure at Default (EAD) and downturn LGD.
For these reasons, EL will generally exceed regulatory impairment allowance. As noted
above, this excess is deducted from capital.
In addition, whilst the regulatory impairment allowance is based on the impairment allowance for loans and advances, there are differences between these amounts in two main respects. Firstly, the regulatory impairment allowance includes valuation adjustments on available for sale exposures and exposures designated at fair value. Secondly, it excludes impairment held against securitisation exposures.
The principal drivers of the
increase in EL during the six months ending 30th June 2009 are as follows:
· |
UK Retail Banking EL increased £172m, reflecting growth in customer assets and the deteriorating economic environment |
· |
Barclays Commercial Bank EL increased by £55m, driven primarily by an overall increase in the non-performing book combined with a small rise in the LGD experienced at default |
· |
Barclaycard EL increase of £223m was driven by the combination of an additional roll-out of IRB during the period and increased levels of retained non-performing assets during the recovery period |
· |
GRCB - Western Europe EL increased to £199m following the migration of Spanish card portfolio and Italian and Portuguese mortgage portfolios onto the IRB approach |
· |
GRCB - Absa EL increased by £278m, mostly due to exchange rate movements, higher delinquency levels and a deterioration in credit quality of the performing book |
· |
Barclays Capital EL increase of £395m was primarily driven by client downgrades, offset by a reduction in EAD due to favourable exchange rate movements caused by the strengthening of sterling against other currencies |
It is anticipated that further exposures will be moved onto the IRB approach during the second half of 2009.
By comparison, RT for Barclays portfolio of performing exposures has increased
from £3.7bn at 31st December 2008 to £4.0bn at 30th June 2009.

Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk that Barclays earnings or capital, or its ability to meet business objectives, will be adversely affected by changes in the level or volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, commodity prices, equity prices, and foreign exchange rates. The majority of market risk exposure resides in Barclays Capital.
Risk Measurement and Control
The measurement techniques used
to measure and control traded market risk include Daily Value at Risk (DVaR), Expected
Shortfall, Global Asset Class stress testing and Global Scenario stress
testing.
DVaR is an estimate of the potential loss arising from unfavourable market movements, if the current positions were to be held unchanged for one business day. Barclays Capital uses the historical simulation method with a two year unweighted historical period at the 95% confidence level.
Extreme market volatility during the second half of 2008 increased DVaR materially. As a
consequence of the unweighted DVaR historical simulation methodology, this market
volatility continued to impact DVaR in the first half of 2009.
Expected Shortfall is the
average of all hypothetical losses from the historical simulation beyond DVaR. Formal
monitoring of Expected Shortfall started in the second half of 2008.
Stress testing provides an
indication of the potential size of losses that could arise in extreme conditions. Global
Asset Class stress testing has been designed to cover major asset classes including
interest rate, credit spread, commodity, equity, foreign exchange rates and emerging
markets. Global Scenario testing is based on hypothetical events which could lead to
extreme yet plausible stress type moves, under which profitability is seriously challenged.
Examples include 'Global Pandemic', 'Problems with GBP sovereign issuances' and 'Liquidity
crisis'.
Market Risk is controlled through the use of limits where appropriate on the above risk measures. Limits are set at the total Barclays Capital level, risk factor level e.g. interest rate risk, and business line level. Book limits such as foreign exchange and interest rate delta limits are also in place.
Analysis of Barclays Capital's Market Risk Exposure
Volatility across financial
markets decreased from the extreme levels observed in the second half of 2008 but remained
high by historical standards. There were signs that the pace of economic decline had
moderated.
Against this background,
Barclays Capital's market risk exposure, as measured by average DVaR, increased 40% to
£87.4m (second half 2008: £62.6m). The increase was mainly due to
increased interest rate and credit spread position taking. When compared to the first
half of 2008, average DVaR has increased 100% from £43.8m, mainly due to
increased position taking arising from the acquisition of the Lehman Brothers North
American business and increased market volatility.
DVaR peaked at
£118.7m in March 2009 before trending down due to decreases in
interest rate and credit spread exposures. Total DVaR as at 30th June 2009, was
£71.1m (31st December 2008: £86.6m, 30th June 2008:
£48.0m).
Expected Shortfall averaged
£132.9m in the first half of 2009. This was £45.6m greater than the second half
of 2008 mainly due to increased interest rate and credit spread risk. Against the first
half of 2008, the increase was £81.0m.
As we enter the second half of 2009, the principal uncertainties which may impact Barclays market risk relate to volatility in interest rates, commodities, credit spreads, equity prices and foreign exchange rates. While these markets exhibit improved liquidity and reduced volatility from the extreme conditions observed during 2008, price instability and higher volatility may still arise as major economies seek to return to positive growth through monetary and fiscal policy stimulus.
The daily average, maximum and minimum values of DVaR and Expected Shortfall are calculated as below:

Liquidity Risk
Barclays manages liquidity to ensure that funding mismatches are appropriate and that sufficient liquidity is maintained to withstand a severe stress period. Our measurement of the impact of a severe stress event includes comprehensive outflows from both the retail and commercial bank, and the investment bank. Offsetting these outflows are anticipated inflows from surplus collateral being mobilised and contractual inflows. The size of the outflows is a function of many factors including the composition of deposit funding, loan commitments and other contingent outflows.
Barclays has continued to maintain a strong liquidity profile in 2009, sufficient to absorb
the impact of a stressed funding environment. We have access to a substantial pool of
liquidity both in secured markets and from unsecured depositors including several foreign
governments and central banks. In addition our limited reliance on securitisations as a
source of funding has meant that the uncertainty in securitisation markets has not
significantly impacted our liquidity risk profile.
Whilst funding markets have
been difficult in the past six months, Barclays has been able to increase available
liquidity, extend the term of unsecured liabilities, and reduce reliance on unsecured
funding. During 2009 Barclays has completed a number of benchmark transactions in the
senior debt market in the US, UK and Europe.
As at 30th June 2009, Barclays had surplus liquidity of £88bn (31st December 2008: £36bn), including unencumbered cash at central banks, government securities and other central bank eligible securities. In addition, Barclays has improved the ratio of customer deposits to loans and advances to customers to 129% as at 30th June 2009 (31st December 2008: 138%).
Global Retail and Commercial Banking, Barclays Wealth and Head Office Functions
GRCB, Barclays Wealth and Head Office Functions are not reliant on wholesale funding, with total liabilities of £388bn (31st December 2008: £382bn) exceeding total assets of £344bn (31st December 2008: £353bn) in those businesses by £44bn as at 30th June 2009 (31st December 2008: £29bn).
During the first six months of 2009, GRCB and Barclays Wealth customer deposits reduced modestly, predominantly in rate sensitive balances, although foreign exchange effects also caused a reduction in Sterling equivalents. The decrease was more than offset by a reduction in assets, resulting in an improvement in the funding position.

1 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. Consequently a diversification effect number for the high (and low) DVaR figures would not be meaningful and it is therefore omitted from the above table.
Barclays Capital
Barclays Capital manages liquidity to be self-funding through both unsecured and secured wholesale sources, managing access to liquidity to ensure that potential cash outflows in a stressed environment are covered.
In addition, Barclays Capital manages the overall wholesale funding for Barclays. Substantial resources are maintained to offset maturing deposits and debt. These readily available assets are sufficient to absorb stress level losses of liquidity from unsecured as well as contingent cash outflows such as collateral requirements on ratings downgrades. In addition, Barclays maintains significant pools of securitisable assets.

Unsecured Funding
In 2009 Barclays
Capital has increased the term of outstanding unsecured liabilities from an average
11 months to 15 months. As at 30th June 2009, Barclays Capital had no net
unsecured funding requirement less than 1 month (31st December 2008: 25%).
Barclays debt issuance includes issues of senior and subordinated debt in US
registered offerings and medium term note programmes and European medium term
note programmes. Substantially all unsecured senior issuance is without
covenants that trigger increased cost or accelerate maturity. Furthermore,
in 2009, Barclays issued benchmark unguaranteed bonds in a variety of
currencies including Sterling, Euro and US Dollar.
Secured Funding
Barclays funds securities based on their underlying liquidity characteristics. Limits are in place for each security asset class reflecting liquidity in the cash and financing markets for these assets. Approximately 90% of assets funded in repurchase and stock loan transactions are fundable within central bank facilities (excluding Bank of England Emergency facilities and the Federal Reserve Primary Dealer Credit Facility).

resents the
impact of the sale of the Barclays Global Investors business to BlackRock Inc as if it
would have occurred on 16th June 2009.
Capital Resources
Tier 1 capital increased by
£5.4bn during the period, driven by profits attributable to equity holders
(£1.9bn), conversion of the MCNs to ordinary shares (£3.7bn), a lower
adjustment to reverse the recognition of gains on own credit (£0.6bn) and
the resultant increase in the amount of innovative capital eligible for inclusion in tier 1
(£1.3bn). These increases were partially offset by exchange rate movements
(£1.9bn) and higher Tier 1 deductions (£0.7bn).
Tier 2 capital decreased by £4.4bn due to exchange rate movements (£1.9bn), lower levels of innovative capital in excess of the Tier 1 limits (£1.3bn), net redemptions of capital issues (£0.8bn) and higher Tier 2 deductions (£0.7bn).
Reconciliation of Regulatory Reserves and Core Tier 1 Capital
Capital is defined differently for accounting and regulatory purposes. A reconciliation of shareholders' equity for accounting purposes to called up share capital and eligible reserves for regulatory purposes and to Core Tier 1 capital is set out below:

Economic Capital
Barclays assesses capital requirements by measuring the Group's risk profile using both internally and externally developed models. The Group assigns economic capital primarily within seven risk categories: credit risk, market risk, business risk, operational risk, insurance risk, fixed assets and private equity.
The Group regularly reviews its economic capital methodology and benchmarks outputs to
external reference points. The framework uses default probabilities during average credit
conditions, rather than those prevailing at the balance sheet date, thus seeking to remove
cyclicality from the economic capital calculation. The framework also adjusts economic
capital to reflect time horizon, correlation of risks and risk concentrations.
Economic capital is allocated
on a consistent basis across all of Barclays businesses and risk activities with
allocations reflecting varying levels of risk. A single cost of equity is applied to
calculate the cost of risk.
The total average economic
capital required by the Group, as determined by risk assessment models and after
considering the Group's estimated portfolio effects, is compared with the supply of
economic capital to evaluate economic capital utilisation. Supply of economic capital is
calculated as the average available shareholders' equity after adjustment and including
preference shares.
Economic capital forms the basis of the Group's submission for the Basel II Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).

UK Retail Banking economic capital allocation decreased £450m to £3,850m (31st December 2008: £4,300m) driven primarily by a change in EC methodology for UK mortgages.
Barclays Commercial Bank economic capital allocation decreased £50m to £3,450m
(31st December 2008: £3,500m) driven primarily by an increase in exposure
weighted probability of default against a background of reduced asset growth and
decreasing severity.
Barclaycard economic capital
allocation increased £400m to £3,300m (31st December 2008: £2,900m),
driven predominantly by exposure growth in the US and deterioration in credit
quality
GRCB - Western
Europe economic capital allocation increased £450m to £2,600m (31st
December 2008: £2,150m), primarily due to a deterioration in credit
quality and exchange rate movements.
GRCB - Emerging Markets
economic capital allocation increased £100m to £1,300m (31st December 2008:
£1,200m) as exposure growth in the portfolio through H2 2008 outstripped contraction
in the portfolio through H1 2009. Over both periods the portfolio exposure changes resulted
from both strategic choices in the absolute book size and the compounding effect
of Sterling volatility.
GRCB - Absa economic capital
allocation increased £100m to £1,200m (31st December 2008:
£1,100m) primarily due to exchange rate movements, the full integration of
Woolworths Financial Services and a slight deterioration in credit quality.
Barclays Capital economic
capital allocation increased £2,550m to £11,000m (31st December 2008:
£8,450m). This was driven by further downgrades across credit markets,
securitisations and loan exposures, by an increase in the economic capital allocation for
monolines exposures and by market volatility.
Barclays Global Investors
economic capital allocation increased £250m to £750m (31st December 2008:
£500m), primarily following downgrades in the cash funds being supported by BGI.
Barclays Wealth economic capital allocation increased £50m to £600m (31st December 2008: £550m), reflecting asset transfers from GRCB - Absa, incorporation of Barclays Wealth Americas and exchange rate movements.

using an adjusted average over the half year and rounded to the nearest
£50m for presentation purposes. EC demand excludes the EC calculated for pension
risk.
2 Includes Transition Businesses and capital for central functional
risks.
3 Average goodwill relates to purchased goodwill and intangible
assets from business acquisitions.
4 Total period end economic capital requirement as at 30th June
2009 stood at £38,700m (31st December 2008: £39,200m; 30th June 2008:
£31,700m).
Economic Capital Supply
The capital resources to
support economic capital comprise adjusted shareholders' equity including preference shares
but excluding other minority interests. Preference shares have been issued to optimise the
long-term capital base of the Group.
The capital resources to
support economic capital are impacted by a number of factors arising from the application
of IFRS and are modified in calculating available funds for economic capital. This applies
specifically to:
· |
Cashflow hedging reserve - to the extent that the Group undertakes the hedging of future cash flows, shareholders' equity will include gains and losses which will be offset against the gain or loss on the hedged item when it is recognised in the income statement at the conclusion of the future hedged transaction. Given the future offset of such gains and losses, they are excluded from shareholders' equity when calculating economic capital supply |
· |
Available for sale reserve - unrealised gains and losses on available for sale securities are included in shareholders' equity until disposal or impairment. Such gains and losses are excluded from shareholders' equity for the purposes of calculating economic capital supply. Realised gains and losses, foreign exchange translation differences and any impairment charges recorded in the income statement will impact economic profit |
· |
Retirement benefits liability - the Group has recorded a net liability with a consequent reduction in shareholders' equity. This represents a non-cash reduction in shareholders' equity. For the purposes of calculating economic capital supply, the Group does not deduct the pension liability from shareholders' equity |
· |
Own credit gains - gains on the fair valuation of notes issued are included in the income statement but are excluded from shareholders' equity when calculating economic capital supply |
The average supply of capital to support the economic capital framework is set out below1 :

· |
Profit after tax and minority interests; less |
· |
Capital charge (average shareholders' equity excluding minority interests multiplied by Barclays cost of capital). |
The Group cost of capital has been applied at a uniform rate of 12.5%1 . The costs of servicing preference shares are included in minority interests. As such, preference shares are excluded from average shareholders' equity for economic profit purposes.

Economic profit for the Group decreased 125% (£628m) to a loss of £127m (2008: profit of £501m) due to a £282m increase in profit for economic profit purposes more than offset by a £910m increase in the economic capital charge due to an increase in the Group's cost of capital and significant increases in the level of economic capital supply reflecting a very significant increase in capital requirements introduced by the FSA at the end of 2008.
UK Retail Banking economic profit decreased 119% (£386m) to a loss of £62m
(2008: profit of £324m) due to a 61% decrease in profit before tax; and a 68%
increase in the economic capital charge reflecting an increase in the economic capital
allocation.
Barclays Commercial Bank economic profit decreased 79% (£241m) to £64m (2008:
£305m) due to a 42% decrease in profit before tax driven by an increase in impairment
charges.
Barclaycard economic profit
decreased 72% (£106m) to £41m (2008: £147m), principally due to a 97%
increase in the economic capital charge driven by deterioration in credit quality and
exposure growth in the US and the increase in cost of capital.
GRCB - Western Europe economic profit decreased 222% (£295m) to a loss of £162m
(2008: profit of £133m), due to a 73% decrease in profit before tax and
the non-recurrence of a £139m release of a deferred tax
liability; and a 144% increase in the economic capital charge reflecting the strengthening
of the Sterling, deterioration in credit quality and the increase in cost of capital.
GRCB - Emerging Markets
economic profit decreased £153m to a loss of £174m (2008: loss of £21m)
due to a loss before tax of £86m (2008: profit of £52m) and a 117%
increase in the economic capital charge reflecting the strengthening of
the Sterling and deterioration in credit quality.
GRCB - Absa economic profit
decreased 160% (£67m) to a loss of £25m (2008: profit of £42m) due to a
17% decrease in profit before tax and a 63% increase in the economic capital charge
reflecting the strengthening of the Sterling and deterioration in credit quality.
Barclays Capital economic
profit increased 11% (£12m) to a loss of £94m (2008: loss of £106m), due
to a 100% increase in profit before tax driven by a very strong performance in the
underlying business offset by a 104% increase in the economic capital charge reflecting an
increase in economic capital allocation due to market volatility, an increase in the
economic allocation for monoline exposures and further downgrades across credit markets,
securitisations and loan exposures.
Barclays Global Investors
economic profit decreased 47% (£57m) to £65m (2008: £122m), due to a 4%
increase in profit before tax more than offset by a 249% increase in the economic capital
charge reflecting downgrades in the cash funds supported by BGI and increased tax
charge mainly due to disallowed expenditure of the break fee paid to CVC Capital
Partners.
Barclays Wealth economic profit
decreased 86% (£106m) to £17m (2008: £123m), due to a 59% decrease in
profit before tax due to the sale of the closed life business in 2008 and a 86% increase in
the economic capital charge reflecting incorporation of Barclays Wealth Americas
and exchange rate movements.
Head Office Functions and Other Operations economic profit increased £1,011m to a profit of £693m (2008: loss of £318m), principally due to a £792m increase in profit before tax relating to a gain of £1,109m in an Upper Tier 2 perpetual debt exchange and its corresponding hedge unwind.
Margins and Balances
The current low interest rate environment is having the impact of substantially reducing the spread generated on retail and commercial banking liabilities, particularly in the UK, as well as returns on the Group's equity. This impact is reduced, to an extent, by the Group's interest rate hedges designed to limit the adverse impact of lower interest rates. Product structural hedges generating a gain of £671m (2008: loss £27m) are in place to manage the income volatility of product balances which would otherwise be sensitive to short term rate movements such as current accounts and managed rate deposits. Interest on these hedges is included in the business net interest income used to calculate business margins.
Additionally, equity structural hedges are in place to manage the volatility in
earnings on the Group's equity and are allocated to the businesses as part of the share of
the interest income benefit on Group equity. In total, equity structural
hedges generated a gain of £527m (2008: loss £47m).
Within the analysis of net interest income below, there is an amount captured as Other. This relates to the cost of subordinated debt and net funding on non-customer assets and liabilities, together with the residual benefit of interest income on Group equity, held within Head Office Functions and Other Operations.

1 Including share of the interest income on Group equity
Net interest income is derived from the interest rate earned on average assets or paid on average liabilities relative to the average Bank of England base rate, local equivalents for international businesses or the rate managed by the bank using derivatives. The margin is expressed as annualised net interest income over the relevant average balance. The asset and liability margins for each business are set out overleaf along with average asset and liability balances. Business average balances are calculated on daily averages for most UK banking operations and monthly averages elsewhere.

Independent Auditors' Review Report
Independent Auditors' Review Report to Barclays PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by Barclays PLC to review the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30th June 2009, which comprises the consolidated interim income statement, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated interim balance sheet, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity, condensed consolidated interim cash flow statement and related notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim results announcement and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Directors' Responsibilities
The interim results
announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The
directors are responsible for preparing the interim results announcement in accordance with
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services
Authority
As disclosed in the 'Accounting Policies' section, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this interim results announcement have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, 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.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the 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 Ireland) 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.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30th June 2009 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

1 The maintenance and integrity of the Barclays website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
2 Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The Group's business activities and financial position; the factors likely to affect its future development and performance; and its objectives and policies in managing the financial risks to which it is exposed and its capital are discussed in the Results by Business and Risk Management section.
The Directors have assessed, in the light of current and anticipated economic conditions,
the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors confirm they are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the 'going concern' basis for preparing accounts.
Basis of Preparation
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
for the half year ended 30th June 2009 on pages 82 to 119 have been
prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services
Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as published by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They are also in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by
the European Union.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended
31st December 2008, which have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as published by the IASB. The annual
financial statements are also prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as
adopted by the European Union.
The accounting policies adopted
are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2008 Annual Report, except for
a change in the accounting policy for share-based payments and additional
accounting policy included for financial liabilities which applied for
the first time in 2009.
The adoption of the 2009
amendment to IFRS 2 'Share-based Payment-Vesting Conditions and Cancellations', has led to
a change in the accounting policy for share-based payments to employees. The change affects
the treatment of non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are taken into account in
estimating the grant date fair value, and share based payment charges are recognised when
all non-market vesting conditions are satisfied irrespective of whether the non-vesting
conditions are satisfied. If meeting a non-vesting condition is a matter of choice, failure
to meet the non-vesting condition is treated as a cancellation, resulting in an
acceleration of recognition of the cost of the employee services. The impact of this change
on previous years has been assessed as immaterial; therefore no prior year adjustments have
been made.
The accounting policy for
financial liabilities to describe the treatment of an exchange of an existing debt
instrument for a new instrument with the lender on substantially different
terms is as follows: An exchange of an existing debt instrument for a new
instrument with the lender on substantially different terms is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial
liability. An assessment is made as to whether the terms are substantially different
considering qualitative and quantitative characteristics. When an exchange is accounted for
as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss
on the extinguishment. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability
extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any
non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
In addition, the adoption of IAS 1 (revised) has resulted in the reformatting of the statement of recognised gains and losses into a statement of comprehensive income and the addition of a statement of changes in equity. The adoption of IAS 1 (revised) does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure of specific transactions and events required by other standards.

Group net interest income increased 11% (£552m) to £5,722m (2008: £5,170m) reflecting strong balance sheet growth across the international businesses in Global Retail and Commercial Banking through acquisitions and expansion of the distribution network primarily in Barclaycard and Western Europe. This was partially offset by liability margin compression as a result of record low base rates impacting the UK deposit book.

Banking and credit related fees and commissions increased 43% (£1,401m) to £4,672m (2008: £3,271m), primarily due to Barclays Capital's strong performances in Investment Banking and Equities. Barclays Commercial Bank also experienced strong fee growth from debt and treasury products.

Net trading income increased 133% (£2,348m) to £4,118m (2008: £1,770m).
The majority of the Group's trading income arises in Barclays Capital and
increased 117% on 2008 reflecting very strong performance in underlying
businesses. This strong underlying performance more than
absorbed gross credit market losses of £3,507m (2008:
£2,225m) and losses relating to own credit of £893m (2008:
£852m gain).
Net investment income decreased 137% (£474m) to a loss of £129m (2008: gain of £345m) driven by realised losses in a commercial real estate equity investment and losses in the principal investments business within Barclays Capital.

Operating expenses increased 29% (£1,822m) to £8,051m (£6,229m). The increase was driven by a 36% increase (£1,280m) in staff costs to £4,815m (2008: £3,535m).
Administrative expenses grew 5% (£99m) to £2,299m
(2008:£2,200m) reflecting the impact of acquistions made in the course of 2008, the
costs of servicing an expanded distribution network across Global Retail and Commercial
Banking, and expenses relating to the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme.
Operating expenses increased
due to a £111m decrease in gains from sale of property to £9m
(2008: £120m) as the Group wound down its sale and lease back of
freehold property programme.
Amortisation of intangibles increased £141m to £228m (2008: £87m) primarily related to the intangible assets arising from the acquistion of the Lehman Brothers North American businesess.

Defined benefit plan pension costs increased £140m to £183m (2008: £43m)
primarily due to lower expected return on assets.

UK Retail Banking staff
numbers decreased 1,200 to 31,400 (31st December 2008:
32,600) reflecting active cost management.
Barclays Commercial Bank staff
numbers decreased 300 to 9,200 (31st December 2008:

the expansion of offshore support operations.
Barclaycard staff
numbers decreased 200 to 10,400 (31st December 2008:
10,600) reflecting lower staff numbers in Absa card.
GRCB - Western Europe staff
numbers decreased 500 to 11,300 (31st December

within Spain and Russia.
GRCB - Emerging Markets staff numbers decreased 1,800 to 18,300 (31st December 2008:
20,100) driven by productivity improvements and effective sales management.
GRCB - Absa staff
numbers decreased 2,100 to 33,700 (31st December 2008:
35,800), reflecting restructuring and a freeze on recruitment.
Barclays Capital staff numbers decreased 1,200 to 21,900 (31st December
2008: 23,100) as a result of reductions across the business, which more than offset
recruitment.
Barclays Wealth staff
numbers decreased 400 to 7,500 (31st December 2008:

11. Tax
The tax charge
for continuing operations for the first half of 2009 was £532m (2008:
£465m) representing a tax rate of 19.4% (2008: 20.4%). The tax
charges for both periods are lower than the UK tax rate of 28% (2008: 28.5%)
because of non taxable gains and income, different tax rates which are applied to the
profits outside of the UK, disallowed expenditure and the release of prior year
provisions.
Tax charges/(credits) relating to each component of other comprehensive income
were as follows:

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent and the weighted average number of shares excluding own shares held in employee benefit trusts and shares held for trading.
The basic and diluted weighted average number of shares in issue in
the period ended 30th June 2009 reflected the full impact of
the 1,802 million shares issued during 2008 and the 2,642 million
shares that were issued following conversion in full of
the Mandatorily Convertible Notes.
When calculating the diluted earnings per share, the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent is adjusted for the conversion of outstanding options into shares within Absa Group Limited and Barclays Global Investors UK Holdings Limited. The weighted average number of ordinary shares excluding own shares held in employee benefit trusts and shares held for trading, is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, totalling 200 million (2008: 191 million).
1 Potential ordinary shares reflect the dilutive impact of share options outstanding.

15. Acquisitions
The initial accounting for the acquisition of the North American businesses of Lehman Brothers remains provisional. If material revisions to fair values result from the conclusion of the acquisition process, they will be recognised as an adjustment to the initial accounting up until the date the initial accounting is determined to be complete. Any such adjustments must be effected within 12 months of the acquisition date of 22nd September 2008 and would result in a restatement of the 2008 income statement and balance sheet. Any revisions that occur after the initial accounting is complete would be reflected in current period profit and loss.
Approximately £2.2bn of the assets acquired as part of the acquisition had not been
received by 30th June 2009. This amount is largely comprised of margin and collateral
attributable to the acquired businesses and cash and securities receivable under
the terms of the acquisition. Approximately £1.8bn of these assets were recognised as
part of the initial accounting for the acquisition and are included in the balance sheet as
at 30th June 2009. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Lehman's Private
Investment Management (PIM) business, Barclays has chosen to make available to
former PIM customers certain cash balances and securities that remain to be transferred to
them by the Trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc (LBI). This has resulted in the
recognition of a receivable from the LBI bankruptcy estate of approximately £700m as
at 30th June 2009. The recovery of these assets is the subject of continuing
discussions with the relevant bankruptcy estates and trustees.

The £428,757m decrease (2008: increase of £584,793m) in the gross derivative assets has been predominantly driven by movements in market rates and initiatives to reduce the derivative balance.
Derivative assets and liabilities would be £506,774m (31 December 2008:
£917,074m) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and
liabilities with the same counterparty or for which we hold cash collateral.
The tables below set out the fair values of the derivative assets together with the value of those assets subject to enforceable counterparty netting arrangements for which the Group holds offsetting liabilities and eligible collateral.

17. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities Recognised and Measured at Fair Value Analysed by Valuation Technique
Financial instruments with a
fair value based on observable inputs include valuations determined by unadjusted quoted
prices in an active market and market standard pricing models that use observable
inputs.
Financial instruments whose
fair value is determined, at least in part, using unobservable inputs are further
categorised into Vanilla and Exotic products as follows:
· |
Vanilla products are valued using simple models such as discounted cashflow or Black Scholes models |
· |
Exotic products are over-the-counter products that are relatively bespoke, not commonly traded in the markets, and their valuation comes from sophisticated mathematical models |
The table below shows Barclays financial assets and liabilities that are recognised and measured at fair value analysed by valuation technique:

Of the total assets of £883,889m measured at fair value, £40,271m or 5% (£44,994m or 3% as at 31st December 2008) were valued using models with unobservable inputs.
Valuations based on unobservable inputs primarily relate to asset backed securities
(commercial and residential mortgage), loans and related derivatives; monoline
counterparty, fund-linked and other structured and long dated derivatives (including those
embedded in structured notes); and private equity and principal investments. The value of
those assets measured using unobservable inputs decreased by £4,723m to
£40,271m as at 30th June 2009. The decrease is attributable to declines in
valuations of Commercial Real Estate loans and the strengthening of Sterling.
As part of our risk management processes, we apply stress tests on the significant unobservable parameters to generate a range of potentially possible alternative valuations. The results of the most recent stress test showed a potential to increase the fair values by up to £2,380m (31st December 2008: £2,395m) or to decrease the fair values by up to £3,043m (31st December 2008: £2,991m) with substantially all the potential effect being recorded in profit or loss rather than equity.
Unrecognised gains due to unobservable valuation inputs
The amount that has yet to be recognised in income that relates to the difference between the transaction price (the fair value at initial recognition) and the amount that would have arisen had valuation models using unobservable inputs been used on intitial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, was as follows:

18. Reclassification of Financial Assets Held for Trading
On 16th December 2008 the Group reclassified certain financial assets originally classified as held for trading that were no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term out of fair value through profit or loss to loans and receivables. At the time of transfer, the Group identified rare circumstances permitting such a reclassification, being severe illiquidity in the relevant market.
The following table shows carrying values and fair values of the assets reclassified at 16th December 2008.

As at the date of
reclassification, the effective interest rates on reclassified trading assets ranged
from 0.18% to 9.29% with undiscounted interest and principal cash
flows of £7.4bn.
If the reclassifications had not been made, the Group's income statement to
June 2009 would have included unrealised fair value losses on the reclassified
trading assets of £42m (31st December 2008: £2m).
After reclassification, the reclassified financial assets contributed the following amounts to the June 2009 income before income taxes.

The amount reclassified into loans and receivables has fallen from £4.0bn to £3.1bn, primarily as a result of paydowns and maturities of the underlying securities. No impairment has been identified on these securities and no additional securities have been reclassified during 2009.
Prior to reclassification in 2008, £144m of unrealised fair value losses on
the reclassified trading assets were recognised in the consolidated income
statement.
19. Barclays Capital Credit Market Exposures
Barclays Capital's credit market exposures primarily relate to US commercial mortgages, residential mortgages and leveraged finance businesses that have been significantly impacted by the continued deterioration in the global credit markets. The exposures include both significant positions subject to fair value movements in the profit and loss account and positions that are classified as loans and advances and as available for sale.
The exposures are set out by asset class below:

During the period ended 30th June 2009, these exposures have been have been reduced by net sales and paydowns of £6,252m, including a £3,056m sale of leveraged finance exposure which was repaid at par, £1,448m of Alt-A and £865m of sub-prime exposure. Exposure reductions were impacted as the US Dollar and the Euro both depreciated 11% relative to Sterling.

25. Retirement Benefit Liabilities
The Group's IAS 19 pension deficit across all schemes as at 30th June 2009 was £3,910m (31st December 2008: £1,287m; 30th June 2008: surplus of £141m). There are net recognised liabilities of £1,458m (31st December 2008: £1,292m; 30th June 2008: £1,567m) and unrecognised actuarial losses of £2,452m (31st December 2008: gain of £5m; 30th June 2008: gain of £1,708m). The net recognised liabilities comprised retirement benefit liabilities of £1,523m (31st December 2008: £1,357m; 30th June 2008: £1,603m) and assets of £65m (31st December 2008: £65m; 30th June 2008: £36m).
The Group's IAS 19 pension deficit in respect of the main UK Scheme as at 30th June 2009
was £3,510m (31st December 2008: deficit of £858m, 30th June 2008: surplus of
£439m). The most significant reason for this change was the decrease in AA long-term
corporate bond yields which resulted in a lower discount rate of 6.42% (31st December
2008: 6.75%; 30th June 2008: 6.70%) and an increase in the inflation assumption to 3.75%
(31st December 2008: 3.16%; 30th June 2008: 4.06%), both of which increased the
liabilities.
26. Share Capital
Called Up and Authorised Share Capital
Called up share capital
comprises 11,028 million (31st December 2008: 8,372 million) ordinary shares of 25p
each.
The authorised share capital of Barclays PLC is £5,290m, US$77.5m, €40m and ¥4,000m (31st December 2008: £3,540m, US$77.5m, €40m and ¥4,000m) comprising 20,996 million (31st December 2008: 13,996 million) ordinary shares of 25p each, 0.4 million (31st December 2008: 0.4 million) Sterling preference shares of £100 each, 0.4 million (31st December 2008: 0.4 million) US Dollar preference shares of $100 each, 150 million (31st December 2008: 150 million) US Dollar preference shares of $0.25 each, 0.4 million (31st December 2008: 0.4 million) Euro preference shares of €100 each, 0.4 million (31st December 2008: 0.4 million) Yen preference shares of ¥10,000 each and 1 million (31st December 2008: 1 million) staff shares of £1 each.
Conversion of Mandatorily Convertible Notes
The Mandatorily Convertible Notes (MCNs), issued by Barclays Bank PLC on 27th November 2008, were converted into 2,642m ordinary shares in Barclays PLC by 30th June 2009 at the conversion price of £1.53276. £661m was credited to share capital and the remaining £3,221m (net of issuance costs) was credited to the share premium account.

The Group facilitates
securities lending arrangements for its investment management clients whereby securities
held by funds are lent to third parties. The borrowers provide the funds with
collateral in the form of cash or other assets equal to at least 100% of the securities
lent plus a margin of between 2% and 8%. Over the period of
the loan, the funds may make margin calls to the extent that the collateral is less than
the market value of the securities lent. Amounts disclosed above represent the total
market value of the lent securities at 30th June 2009. The market value of
collateral held by the funds was £32,673m (31st December
2008: £39,690m).
Several standby facilities and credit lines were withdrawn on closed accounts during the six months to 30th June 2009.
28. Legal Proceedings
Barclays has for some time been
party to proceedings, including a class action, in the United States against a
number of defendants following the collapse of Enron; the class action claim is commonly
known as the Newby litigation. On 19th March 2007, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision that the case could not proceed against
Barclays as a class action because the plaintiffs had not alleged a proper claim against
Barclays. On 22nd January 2008, the United States Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs'
request for review of the Fifth Circuit's 19th March 2007 decision. On
5th March 2009, the District Court granted summary judgment in Barclays favour in
relation to the plaintiffs' claims against Barclays. The District Court also denied
the plaintiffs' request to amend the complaint to assert revised claims against Barclays on
behalf of the class. The plaintiffs' time in which to file an appeal regarding the
District Court's 5th March 2009 decision has not yet expired. Barclays considers
that the Enron related claims against it are without merit and is defending them
vigorously. It is not possible to estimate Barclays possible loss in relation to these
matters, nor the effect that they might have upon operating results in any particular
financial period.
Like
other UK financial services institutions, the Group faces numerous County Court
claims and complaints by customers who allege that its unauthorised overdraft charges
either contravene the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations
1999 (UTCCR) or are unenforceable penalties or both. In July 2007, by agreement
with all parties, the OFT commenced proceedings against seven banks and one building
society, including Barclays, to resolve the matter by way of a "test case" process.
Preliminary issues hearings took place in January, July and December 2008 with judgments
handed down in April and October 2008 and January 2009 (a further judgment not concerning
Barclays terms). As to current terms, in April 2008 the Court held in favour of the banks
on the issue of the penalty doctrine. The OFT did not appeal that decision. In the same
judgment the Court held in favour of the OFT on the issue of the applicability of the
UTCCR. The banks appealed that decision. As to past terms, in a judgment on
8th October 2008, the Court held that Barclays historic terms, including those of
Woolwich, were not capable of being penalties. The OFT indicated at the January 2009
hearing that it was not seeking permission to appeal the Court's findings in relation to
the applicability of the penalty doctrine to historic terms. Accordingly, it is now clear
that no declarations have or will be made against Barclays that any of its unauthorised
overdraft terms considered in the test case are capable of constituting unenforceable
penalties and that the OFT will not pursue this aspect of the test case further.
The proceedings have since concentrated exclusively on UTCCR issues. The banks' appeal against the decision in relation to the applicability of the UTCCR (to current and historic terms) was heard in late October 2008 and dismissed by the Court of Appeal's judgment of 26th February 2009. Subsequently, the banks were granted leave to appeal to the House of Lords which heard the banks' appeal on 23rd-25th June 2009 with judgment reserved. It is not clear yet when the House of Lords' ruling will become available. If the banks' appeal is upheld the test case should be at an end. If it is dismissed then it is likely that the proceedings will still take a significant period of time to conclude. Pending resolution of the test case process, existing and new claims in the County Courts remain stayed, and there is an FSA waiver of the complaints handling process (which is reviewable in December 2009) and a standstill of Financial Ombudsman Service decisions. The Group is defending the test case vigorously. It is not practicable to estimate the Group's possible loss in relation to these matters, nor the effect that they may have upon operating results in any particular financial period.
Barclays is engaged in various other litigation proceedings both in the United
Kingdom and a number of overseas jurisdictions, including the United States,
involving claims by and against it which arise in the ordinary course of business. Barclays
does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of the proceedings to which Barclays is
party to have a significant adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and
Barclays has not disclosed the contingent liabilities associated with these claims either
because they cannot reasonably be estimated or because such disclosure could be prejudicial
to the conduct of the claims.
29. Competition and Regulatory Matters
The scale of regulatory change remains challenging and the global financial crisis is resulting in a significant tightening of regulation and changes to regulatory structures globally, especially for banks that are deemed to be of systemic importance. Concurrently, there is continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the operation of the retail banking and consumer credit industries in the UK and elsewhere. The nature and impact of future changes in the legal framework, policies and regulatory action cannot currently be fully predicted and are beyond the Group's control, but, especially in the area of banking regulation, are likely to have an impact on the Group's businesses and earnings.
The market for payment protection insurance (PPI) has been under scrutiny by
the UK competition authorities and financial services regulators. In
September 2005, the OFT received a super-complaint from the Citizens Advice Bureau relating
to PPI. As a result, the OFT commenced a market study on PPI in April 2006. In October 2006
the OFT announced the outcome of the market study and the OFT referred the PPI market
to the UK Competition Commission (CC) for an in-depth inquiry in February 2007. In
June 2008, the CC published its provisional findings. The CC published its final report
into the PPI market on 29th January 2009. The CC's conclusion is that the businesses
which offer PPI alongside credit face little or no competition when selling PPI to their
credit customers. The CC has set out a package of measures which it considers will
introduce competition into the market (the Remedies). The Remedies, which are expected
to be implemented (following consultation) in 2010, are: a ban on sale of PPI at the point
of sale; a prohibition on the sale of single premium PPI; mandatory personal PPI quotes to
customers; annual statements for all regular premium policies, including the back book (for
example credit card and mortgage protection policies); measures to ensure that improved
information is available to customers; obliging providers to give information to the OFT to
monitor the Remedies and to provide claims ratios to any person on request. The Group is
reviewing the report, the CC's draft Remedies order and considering the next steps,
including how this might affect the Group's different products. In March 2009, Barclays
submitted an appeal of part of the CC's final report to the Competition Appeal
Tribunal (CAT). The targeted appeal is focussed on the point of sale prohibition
remedy which it is felt is not based on sound analysis, and is unduly draconian. The Group
is also challenging the technical aspects of the CC's PPI market definition. A case
management conference was held at the CAT on 28th April 2009 at which Lloyds Banking
Group, Shop Direct and the FSA were granted permission to intervene. The hearing is listed
for four days starting 7th September 2009.
Separately, in October 2006, the FSA published the outcome of its broad industry thematic
review of PPI sales practices in which it concluded that some firms fail to treat customers
fairly and that the FSA would strengthen its actions against such firms. Tackling poor PPI
sales practices remains a priority for the FSA, with their most recent update on their
thematic work published in September 2008. The Group voluntarily complied with the FSA's
request to cease selling single premium PPI by the end of January 2009. There has been no
enforcement action against the Group in respect of its PPI products. The Group has
cooperated fully with these investigations into PPI and will continue to do so.
The OFT has carried out investigations into Visa and MasterCard credit card interchange
rates. The decision by the OFT in the MasterCard interchange case was set aside by the
Competition Appeals Tribunal in June 2006. The OFT is progressing its investigations in the
Visa interchange case and a second MasterCard interchange case in parallel and both are
ongoing. The outcome is not known but these investigations may have an impact on the
consumer credit industry in general and therefore on the Group's business in this sector.
In February 2007, the OFT announced that it was expanding its investigation into
interchange rates to include debit cards.
In September 2006, the OFT announced that it had decided to undertake a fact find on the application of its statement on credit card fees to current account unauthorised overdraft fees. The fact find was completed in March 2007. On 29th March 2007, the OFT announced its decision to conduct a formal investigation into the fairness of bank current account charges. The OFT initiated a market study into personal current accounts (PCAs) in the UK on 26th April 2007. The study's focus was PCAs but it also included an examination of other retail banking products, in particular savings accounts, credit cards, personal loans and mortgages in order to take into account the competitive dynamics of UK retail banking. On 16th July 2008, the OFT published its market study report, in which it concluded that certain features of the UK PCA market were not working well for consumers. The OFT reached the provisional view that some form of regulatory intervention is necessary in the UK PCA market. On 16th July 2008, the OFT also announced a consultation to seek views on the findings and possible measures to address the issues raised in its report. The consultation period closed on 31st October 2008. The Group has participated fully in the market study process and will continue to do so.
US laws and regulations require compliance with US economic sanctions, administered by
the Office of Foreign Assets Control, against designated foreign countries, nationals and
others. HM Treasury regulations similarly require compliance with sanctions adopted by
the UK government. The Group has been conducting an internal review of its
conduct with respect to US Dollar payments involving countries, persons and entities
subject to these sanctions and has been reporting to governmental authorities about the
results of that review. The Group received inquiries relating to these sanctions and
certain US Dollar payments processed by its New York branch from the New York
County District Attorney's Office and the US Department of Justice, which along with other
authorities, has been reported to be conducting investigations of sanctions compliance by
non-US financial institutions. The Group has responded to those inquiries and is
cooperating with the regulators, the Department of Justice and the District Attorney's
Office in connection with their investigations of the Group's conduct with respect to
sanctions compliance. Barclays has also received a formal notice of investigation from the
FSA, and has been keeping the FSA informed of the progress of
the US investigations and Barclays internal review. Barclays review is ongoing.
It is currently not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of the issues covered by
Barclays review and the investigations, including the timing and potential financial impact
of any resolution, which could be substantial.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme provides compensation to customers of financial institutions in the event that an institution is unable, or is likely to be unable, to pay claims against it. In 2008, a number of institutions were declared in default by the FSA. In order to meet its obligations to the depositors of these institutions, the FSCS obtained facilities from HM Treasury on an interest only basis which totalled £18.2bn as at 31st March 2009. The majority of the facilities are anticipated to be repaid wholly from recoveries from the institutions concerned, although some shortfalls are anticipated in the smaller facilities. The FSCS raises annual levies from the banking industry to meet its management expenses and compensation costs. Individual institutions make payments based on their level of market participation (in the case of deposits, the proportion that their protected deposits represent of total market protected deposits) at 31st December each year. If an institution is a market participant on this date it is obligated to pay a levy. Barclays Bank PLC was a market participant at 31st December 2007 and 2008. The Group has accrued £37m in 2009 (£101m for year ended 31st December 2008) for its share of levies that will be raised by the FSCS including the interest on the loan from HM Treasury. The accrual includes estimates for the interest FSCS will pay on the loan and estimates of Barclays market participation in the relevant periods. Interest will continue to accrue on the FSCS facilities and will form part of future FSCS management expenses levies. To the extent that the facilities have not been repaid in full by 31st March 2012, the FSCS will agree a schedule of repayments with HM Treasury, which will be recouped from the industry in the form of additional levies. Under the Banking Act 2009, in April 2009, HM Treasury issued a Notification to the FSCS requiring a contribution to the resolution costs of a further institution. The timing and size of any actual payments by the FSCS under the Notification and the consequent need for levies on the industry, is unclear. At the date of this Interim Results Announcement, it is not possible to estimate whether there will ultimately be additional levies on the industry, the level of Barclays market participation or other factors that may affect the amounts or timing of amounts that may ultimately become payable, nor the effect that such levies may have upon operating results in any particular financial period.
30. Events After the Balance Sheet Date
On 9th July 2009, in a circular to shareholders, Barclays gave notice of a General meeting of Barclays PLC to be held on 6th August to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution to dispose of the Barclays Global Investors business and ancillary arrangements.
31. Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions, or one other party controls both. The definition includes subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and the Group's pension schemes, as well as other persons.
Subsidiaries
Transactions between Barclays PLC and subsidiaries also meet the definition of related party transactions. Where these are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed in the Group financial statements.
Associates, Joint Ventures and Other Entities
The Group provides banking services to its associates, joint ventures and Group pension funds (principally the UK Retirement Fund), providing loans, overdrafts, interest and non-interest bearing deposits and current accounts to these entities as well as other services. Group companies, principally within Barclays Global Investors, also provides investment management and custodian services to the Group pension schemes. The Group also provides banking services for unit trusts and investment funds managed by Group companies and are not individually material.
Key Management Personnel
The Group provides banking services to Directors and other key management personnel and persons connected to them. Since 31st December 2008, an overdraft facility of £800,000 has been made available to a Director and a mortgage facility of £500,000 has been made available to a member of key management personnel. Both facilities are provided by Barclays Bank in the ordinary course of its business and the terms are no more favourable than would apply to someone of similar financial standing who is unconnected to the Group.
No additional related parties transactions have taken place in the first six
months of the current financial year that have materially affected the financial position
or the performance of the Group during that period; and there were no material changes in
the related parties transactions described in the last Annual Report that could have a
material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group in the first six
months of the current financial year.
All of these transactions are conducted on the same terms to third-party transactions and are not individually material.
Amounts included, in aggregate, by category of related party entity are as follows:
