Article 11 unaudited pro forma information


Unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial information

Basis of preparation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information (the "unaudited pro forma financial information") comprises the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2010 (the "unaudited pro forma balance sheet") and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the six months ended 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2009 and the years ended 31 December 2009, 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007(the "pro forma income statements") based on the published audited and unaudited financial statements of RBS, prepared in accordance with IFRS, after giving effect to:

(a)  
the distribution of those ABN AMRO businesses attributable to Santander and the Dutch government (the "other Consortium members"); and
(b)  
the divestment of certain businesses to meet the European Commission's State Aid requirements (see below).

To comply with the European Commission's State Aid requirements, RBS has agreed to make a series of divestments to be completed within four years from December 2009, as follows:

·  
RBS Insurance
·  
Global Merchant Services
·  
RBS Sempra Commodities
·  
the RBS branch based business in England and Wales, the NatWest branch network in Scotland, along with the Direct SME customers across the UK (termed the 'UK Retail and UK Corporate businesses outlined for disposal')

Collectively, the above are defined as the 'EC State Aid Divestments'.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared assuming the following:

·  
pro forma balance sheet: the distribution to the other Consortium members and EC State Aid Divestments had occurred on 30 June 2010

·  
pro forma income statements: the distribution to the other Consortium members had occurred on acquisition of ABN AMRO on 17 October 2007 and the EC State Aid Divestments had occurred on 1 January 2007

·  
sale proceeds in respect of the EC State Aid Divestments are received in cash and are equal to the net asset values of the businesses to be disposed of

·  
the UK Retail and UK Corporate business outlined for disposal represents a carve-out from existing RBS businesses and therefore discrete financial information for this divestment which is factually supportable is not currently available. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information in respect of the EC State Aid Divestments excludes this business.

The pro forma financial information is presented for information purposes only and does not represent what the results of operations would actually have been had the distribution to other Consortium members and EC State Aid Divestments occurred on the dates indicated nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations of financial position that may or may be expected to be achieved in the future.
