Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies General information The principal activities of the Butterfield Bank (Channel Islands) Limited (formerly ABN AMRO (Channel Islands) Limited) (the “Company”) and its subsidiary (together the “Group”) are to carry on the business of banking and related financial services. The Company is a private company limited by shares and was incorporated in Guernsey on 6 September 1984. The address of its registered office is Martello Court, Admiral Park, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3QJ up until the date of acquisition and amalgamation. On 15 July 2019, ABN AMRO (Channel Islands) Limited was acquired by Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) Limited and its name was changed to Butterfield Bank (Channel Islands) Limited. In September 2019, the acquired bank was amalgamated into Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) Limited (“Butterfield”). The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, these financial statements do not include comparative figures, which constitutes a departure from United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland’’ as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. Statement of compliance The Group interim financial statements of Butterfield Bank (Channel Islands) Limited give a true and fair view and have been prepared in compliance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland’’ (‘‘FRS 102’’). The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements of the Group. Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. The presentational currency is Pound Sterling (GBP) and all monetary values are rounded to the nearest thousand, where indicated. Going Concern Given the successful amalgamation of the Company into Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) Limited, these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. Further information is provided in note 18 (‘Subsequent Events’). Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with section 9 of FRS 102. The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Company and of its wholly owned subsidiary as set out in Note 14. Subsidiaries are entities that are directly or indirectly controlled by the Group. Control exists where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. 3


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies - continued Any subsidiary undertakings sold or acquired during the year are included up to, or from, the dates of change of control or change of significant influence, respectively. Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the gain or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. Uniform accounting policies have been used across the Group. All intra-Group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Income and expense recognition Interest income and interest expense are recorded on an accruals basis using the effective interest method within finance income and finance costs, respectively. This method defers, as part of interest income or expense, all fees paid or received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. Fees integral to the effective interest rate include origination fees received or paid by the entity relating to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or issuance of a financial liability. All other fees, commissions and other income and expense items are recorded on an accruals basis by reference to the stage of completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided. Commissions and fees arising from negotiating, or participating in the negotiation of a transaction for a third party, such as the acquisition of loans, shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses, and which are earned on execution of the underlying transaction, are recorded on its completion. Portfolio and other management advisory and service fees are recognised based on the applicable service contracts, usually on a time-proportion basis. Asset management fees relating to investment funds are recorded rateably over the period that the service is provided. The same principle is applied for wealth management, financial planning and custody services that are continually provided over an extended period of time. Pension costs The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds. Loans and advances to banks and customers Loans and advances to banks and customers are recorded when the Group advances money to purchase or originate an unquoted non-derivative receivable from a counterparty bank or customer, due on fixed or determinable dates, and has no intention of trading the receivable. Loans and advances to banks and customers are included at the principal amount outstanding and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Provisions are made for loans which are recognised as bad or doubtful. A loan is considered to be bad or doubtful when the client is unable to service the facility as per the loan agreement and it is considered that there is insufficient security to meet full repayment. Relationships are all individually assessed (no collective provision) for objective evidence that cash flows may not be received as a result of events that have occurred up until the reporting date. Cash flows are estimated on the loan including the effect of collateral. These cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate. 4


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies - continued A loan that has previously been provisioned will be written off in accordance with the ABN AMRO Group N.V. write off policy. This will require official sign off from the ABN AMRO Group N.V. Financial Restructuring and Recovery department. Foreign exchange (i) Functional and presentation currency The Group’s functional and presentation currency is pound sterling. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings within operating profit. Dividends Dividends are accounted for when they are paid. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows exemption Under FRS 102, the Group is exempt from preparing a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on the grounds that the Group is a wholly owned subsidiary whose results are included in the publicly available consolidated financial statements of the parent Company within the EU. Property, plant and equipment assets Property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less residual value of property, plant and equipment assets, less any impairments, over their estimated useful economic lives. Leasehold improvements are written off over 19 years, being the remaining term on the lease, when it was signed, relating to the building in which these assets are situate. Vehicles, furniture and equipment 6⅔% to 20% straight line Computer equipment 20% to 33 ⅓% straight line Property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. 5


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies - continued Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of computer software which is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Software is amortised over its estimated useful life, of between 3 and 5 years, on a straight line basis. Where factors, such as technological advancement or changes in market price, indicate that residual value or useful life have changed, the residual value, useful life or amortisation rate are amended prospectively to reflect the new circumstances. The assets are reviewed annually for impairment if the above factors indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Taxation Taxation is chargeable on profits for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Except where otherwise required by accounting standards, full provision without discounting is made for all timing differences, which have arisen but not reversed at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Related parties Under Section 33.1A of FRS 102, the Group is exempt from disclosing transactions within the Group, other than those required by local regulations, as all subsidiary companies are wholly owned and the Group is wholly owned by ABN AMRO Group N.V. whose consolidated annual accounts, which include this Group’s results, are publicly available. Leasehold Commitments Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings on straight line basis over the period of lease. 6


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies - continued Financial Instruments The Group has adopted Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of recognition and measurement of financial instruments. (i) Financial assets Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, loans and advances to banks, and loans and advances to customers, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings immediately. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Retained Earnings immediately. Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. (ii) Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, deposits by banks, and customer accounts are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. 7


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies - continued (iii) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Forward foreign exchange contracts Derivatives, including forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re- measured at their fair value. The fair value of a contract is determined using a recognised valuation model in a proprietary re-pricing application with prices derived from market spot foreign exchange rates and prevailing interest rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate. The Group does not apply hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts held to manage the cash flow exposures of forecast transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Critical judgements and estimates in applying the accounting policy The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. There is no material uncertainty over estimates. Estimated provisions are made for loans which are recognised as bad or doubtful on the basis of individual assessments per client, taking into account the effect of collateral and the estimated future cash flows. The Directors have determined that the functional currency of the Group is Pound Sterling (GBP) on the basis that the primary economic environment within which the Group operates and the majority of its cost base, including staff costs, is GBP related. In addition, the Group is taxed in GBP and produces statutory accounts under United Kingdom accounting standards. 8

At 30 June 2019, the outstanding contracts all mature within 12 months of the period end. 10


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments - continued The forward currency contracts are measured at fair value, which is determined using valuation techniques that utilise observable inputs. The key inputs used in valuing the derivatives are the forward exchange rates for the relevant currency pairs. (b) Risk exposure and fair value measurements Information about the methods and assumptions used in determining fair value is provided in note 4(i) below. For information about the Group’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk please refer to note 4(ii) below. (c) Impairment and risk exposure There were no impaired receivables in the current period. Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality and the Group’s exposure to credit risk can be found in the accounting policy note for financial instruments and 4 (iv) below. (i) Fair Value Methodology This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels. Derivatives and forward exchange currency contracts are carried at fair value and valued based on observable market inputs as at 30 June 2019. Fair value of financial instruments have been categorised using a fair value hierarchy as detailed below: Fair value hierarchy: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active market Inputs to level 1 fair value are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis. Level 2 – Internal models or broker quotes with observable market parameters The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Level 3 – Internal models with significant unobservable market parameters Inputs to level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs for the assets at the last measurement date. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable then the instrument is included in level 2, if not it is included in level 3. There were no transfers between levels for recurring fair value measurements during the period. 11

The Group also enters into derivative transactions (principally forward foreign currency contracts). The purpose of such transactions is to manage the interest rate and currency risks arising from the Group’s operations and other financial instruments. The main risks arising from the Group’s operations are foreign exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. 12


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments - continued (iii) Foreign currency risk Foreign exchange risk is the risk relating to the movement of the value of one currency against the value of another. It is the risk faced by the Group’s open positions in foreign currencies either because of currency trading positions or because of exposure caused by its overall assets and liabilities. The Group monitors open position risk, mismatch risk and settlement risk and manages its exposures by engaging in spot and forward foreign currency transactions and currency swaps. The tables below shows the Group’s exposure to major currencies as at 30 June 2019 and are stated in sterling equivalent (£’000).

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments – continued (iv) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Group. Potential losses can be for the full amount of the contract. The Group manages its credit risk locally under the supervision of and in compliance with the policies of ABN AMRO Group N.V. to optimise the use of its credit lines and to avoid excessive risk concentration. Regular reports are received by the board of Directors locally, which include information on large credit exposures, asset concentration, undrawn facilities and bad debt provisioning. The loans and advances to customers portfolio is mainly collateralised against either: • Residential property mortgages, primarily with a geographical focus of UK, and more specifically Central London and Guernsey and Jersey. There is a legacy Spanish portfolio which remains relatively limited in terms of both monetary amounts and customers. There is no strategy to increase such loans and advances, and the legacy portfolio continues to decline over time. • Commercial property mortgages, which remain limited in exposure in both monetary amounts and customers. It is important to note such commercial property is for general purpose use (e.g. offices or general purpose units), with no specialised commercial premises. • Lombard assets of underlying marketable sovereign and corporate bonds, marketable equities, investment Funds and bank guarantees. • Aircraft, with one private aircraft mortgage. There is no strategy to pursue further private aircraft financing. There is a relatively limited portfolio both in terms of monetary amount and customers which are unsecured, £1,892k over 5 customers. Such unsecured loans and advances are an exception only basis and there is no strategy to increase such loans and advances. Gross impaired loans and advances to customers total £1,134 thousand over 3 customers. See note 8. There are four past due but not impaired loans to customers of £15,172 thousand. Alongside the loans and advances to customers, there are also off-balance sheet credit risk exposures to customers. These comprise of forward foreign exchange, currency options and equity options trading facilities and guarantee and standby letter or credit issuance. In addition, credit card facilities are offered through a 3 rd party provider, in which the Group provides a guarantee to support the credit card limits provided to customers. These off-balance sheet facilities are all collateralised by either cash and/or Lombard assets. 14


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments - continued (iv) Credit Risk continued The loans and advances to customers portfolio is managed through established Credit Policies with each individual loan advance to customers reviewed at least annually to ensure continued satisfactory credit risk. Furthermore, any impaired, past due but not impaired, forborne or other exception loans and advances to customers are subject to enhanced close monitoring and reporting to mitigate further credit risk deterioration. Loans and advances to banks are primarily with the counterparty ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (“AAB NV”) which has an issuer long term credit rating of ‘single A’, which is based on: • The view of the banking system in its home market of The Netherlands. • An "adequate" business position, due to the dominance of relatively stable activities in its business portfolio. • An "adequate" capital and earnings assessment • An "adequate" risk position, reflecting an assessment of the AAB NV’s risk management and exposures being broadly in line with its main domestic peers. • "Average" funding and "adequate" liquidity, given its manageable funding requirements and modest credit growth. AAB NV has an issuer long term credit rating outlook of ‘Stable’, with any ratings downgrade being assessed as a relatively remote scenario on the basis that AAB NV will continue to build capital in a reasonably benign outlook for its business growth and credit risk. The Group considers such loans and advances to AAB NV are in accordance its medium risk profile. 15

Financial Instruments - continued (v) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in realising assets or otherwise raising funds to meet commitments. The Group monitors expected cash flows by means of a liquidity ladder showing the scheduled maturity of assets and liabilities with particular emphasis on the next ten working days. The Group’s policy has been to maintain sufficient immediately available cash or assets to meet obligations, to have an appropriately matched future profile of cash flows and to have an adequately diversified deposit base in terms of maturities and range of counterparties. The maturity analysis of the financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective tables below and shown at discounted values. 2019 Within 3 After 3 After 6 After 1 After No Total months months months year 5 years Maturity but within but within but within 6 months 1 year 5 years £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Liabilities: Deposits by banks 1,287 1,287 Customer accounts 2,896,223 31,691 54,214 2,982,128 Other financial liabilities at fair 984 1,108 150 2,242 value through profit and loss Other liabilities 4,503 4,503 Total Liabilities 2,902,997 32,799 54,364 2,990,160 16


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments - continued (vi) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk exposure arises from the differing interest rates applicable to the Group’s assets and liabilities. The Group monitors interest rate exposure by means of an interest rate mismatch ladder and gap limits are set by the International Treasury Division. Exposures are managed through money market dealings and forward foreign exchange contracts. The table below shows management’s estimate of the interest rate sensitivity gap as at 30 June 2019. Assets and liabilities are included in the table at the earliest date at which the applicable interest rate can change. Interest rate sensitivity gap analysis Part of the Group’s return on financial instruments is obtained from controlled mismatching of the dates on which interest receivable on assets and interest payable on liabilities are next reset to market rates or, if earlier, the dates on which the instruments mature. The tables below summarise these re-pricing mismatches on the Group’s non-trading book as at 30 June 2019. Items are allocated to time bands by reference to the earlier of the next contractual interest rate re-pricing and the maturity date. 2019 Within 3 After 3 After 6 After 1 After Non- Total months months months year 5 years interest but within but within but within bearing 6 months 1 year 5 years funds £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 Assets: Cash, loans and advances to 2,514,975 29,905 56,728 1,926 2,603,534 banks Loans and advances to 523,893 4,500 100 360 528,853 customers Other financial assets at fair 1,003 1,154 167 2,324 value through profit and loss Other assets 4,259 4,259 Total Assets 3,039,871 35,559 56,995 6,545 3,138,970 Liabilities: Deposits by banks 1,287 1,287 Customer accounts 2,895,380 31,393 53,804 1,551 2,982,128 Other financial liabilities at fair 984 1,108 150 2,242 value through profit and loss Other liabilities 4,503 4,503 Equity shareholders’ funds 148,810 148,810 Total liabilities 2,902,154 32,501 53,954 150,361 3,138,970 Interest rate sensitivity gap 137,717 3,058 3,041 (143,816) Cumulative interest rate 137,717 140,775 143,816 143,816 143,816 - sensitivity gap at 30 June 2019 17


 
Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the period ended 30 June 2019 4. Financial Instruments – continued Operational risk The Group experiences a relatively low incidence of operational loss. All operational losses, gains and triggers are recorded and reviewed by the Risk & Compliance Committee on a monthly basis with appropriate action being taken. Market risk The Group does not operate a Trading Book. All market risk is related to asset/liability management. For operational reasons, the Group does not run a completely matched book, however, as the Group’s appetite for market risk is low it has set limits for overnight currency exposure and duration of interest rate risk which is monitored by the Risk & Compliance Committee. Capital Management The Company’s/Group’s objectives when it manages capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its regulatory requirements. The Company/Group is regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (“GFSC”), which sets out minimum capital requirements. These are monitored on an ongoing basis and reported to the GFSC quarterly. The entire capital of the Company/Group is classified as Tier 1 Capital consisting of share capital and reserves. The Company/Group does not have any Tier 2 capital. Below are the GFSC requirements under Basel III showing the Company’s Pillar 1 Capital, Capital Conversion Buffer, Pillar 2 Capital, eligible capital, and surplus at 30 June 2019 : 2019 £’000 Pillar 1 76,245 Capital Conversion Buffer 22,969 Pillar 2 15,154 Total Capital Minimum Requirement (adjusted) 114,367 Eligible Capital 142,948 Surplus 28,851 18

Memorandum items, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts In the normal course of business there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements. The contractual amounts of Guarantees and Commitments, which are credit related instruments, represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn down upon and the client default. 2019 £’000 Guarantees Guarantees secured on customer assets 1,704 Commitments Undrawn credit facilities 132,260 Capital commitments There are no capital commitments at the end of the financial period. Exchange rate and interest rate contracts 2019 Contract Fair amount value £’000 £’000 Exchange rate contracts: Assets 137,745 2,324 Liabilities 133,136 2,422 The contractual amounts of the exchange rate contracts indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date: they do not represent amounts at risk. The fair value of contracts represents the mark to market assets on all contracts. Positive and negative values are used to determine the classification as an asset or liability above. Fair value is therefore an approximation of the credit risk for these contracts as at the period end. 24
