Notes

The term Barclays or Group refers to Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries and the term Barclays Bank PLC Group refers to Barclays Bank PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis compares the six months ended 30 June 2017 to the corresponding six months of 2016 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2017 with comparatives relating to 31 December 2016 and 30 June 2016. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively; the abbreviations ‘$m’ and ‘$bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of US Dollars respectively; the abbreviations ‘€m’ and ‘€bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Euros respectively.

There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.

Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary that can be accessed at home.barclays/results.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2017, does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016, which included certain information required for the Joint Annual Report on Form 20-F of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which contained an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

These results will be furnished as a Form 6-K to the SEC as soon as practicable following their publication. Once furnished with the SEC, copies of the Form 6-K will also be available from the Barclays Investor Relations website home.barclays results and from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Barclays is a frequent issuer in the debt capital markets and regularly meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Consistent with its usual practice, Barclays expects that from time to time over the coming quarter it will meet with investors globally to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Group.

Non-IFRS performance measures

Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management. However, any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well. Refer to the appendix on pages 110-114 for further information, reconciliations and calculations of non-IFRS performance measures included throughout this document, and the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

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 the Group. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures 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’, ‘projected’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, structural reform, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the Group Strategy Update, rundown of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core, sell down of the Group’s interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited or the impact of any regulatory deconsolidation, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers 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. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, future levels of notable items, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; UK, US, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued volatility in credit markets; market related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the implications of the exercise by the United Kingdom of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon and the disruption that may result in the UK and globally from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group’s control. As a result, the Group’s actual future results, dividend payments, and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set forth in the Group’s forward-looking statements. Additional risks and factors which may impact the Group’s future financial condition and performance are identified in our filings with the SEC (including, without limitation, our annual report on form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2016), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the United States in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Presentation of Information

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Barclays Bank PLC are set out on pages 7 to 14 and the related Barclays PLC notes are on pages 68 to 109.

Further disclosures are contained in the Barclays PLC Results Announcement for the period ended 30 June 2017, including risk exposures and business performance, which are materially the same as those for Barclays Bank PLC. Refer to pages 15 to 65 and 110 to 115.

Barclays Bank PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barclays PLC, which is the Group’s ultimate parent company. The business activities of Barclays Bank PLC Group and Barclays PLC Group are fundamentally the same as the only differences are the holding company, Barclays PLC and following a restructure in November 2016, the Group Service Company transferring from Barclays Bank PLC to Barclays PLC.

Differences between Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC results can be summarised as follows:

●	Balance Sheet Asset size – Barclays PLC £1,135,316m, Barclays Bank PLC £1,136,867m
●	Income Statement Profit before tax – Barclays PLC £2,341m, Barclays Bank PLC £2,195m

The differences occur primarily due to the following reasons:

●	Funding structures
●	Cash flow hedging
●	Group Service Company

More detail regarding the main differences is described below.

Funding structures

	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Preference shares	-	5,830
Other shareholders’ equity	-	271
Non-controlling interests (NCI)	2,397	84

Preference shares and capital notes issued by Barclays Bank PLC are included within share capital in Barclays Bank PLC, and where still outstanding are presented as non-controlling interests in the financial statements of Barclays PLC Group.

	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Treasury shares	(28)	-

Barclays PLC shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes and for trading are recognised as available for sale investments and trading portfolio assets respectively within Barclays Bank PLC. Barclays PLC deducts these treasury shares from shareholders’ equity.


	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR)	394	49

Arising from the redemption or exchange of Barclays PLC or Barclays Bank PLC shares respectively.


	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Loans and advances to banks	37,108	37,512
Subordinated liabilities	23,879	24,271

Barclays Bank PLC has in issue two series of contingent capital notes (CCNs). These both pay interest and principal to the holder unless the consolidated CRD IV CET1 ratio (FSA October 2012 transitional statement) of Barclays PLC falls below 7%, in which case they are cancelled from the consolidated perspective. The coupon payable on the CCNs is higher than a market rate of interest for a similar note without this risk.

The accounting for these instruments differs between the consolidated financial statements of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC as follows:

	●	In the case of the 7.625% CCN issuance, the cancellation is effected by an automatic legal transfer of title from the holder to Barclays PLC. In these circumstances, Barclays Bank PLC remains liable to Barclays PLC. Barclays Bank PLC does not benefit from the cancellation feature although it pays a higher than market rate for a similar note, and therefore the initial fair value of the note recognised was higher than par. The difference between fair value and par is amortised to the income statement over time.
	●	In the case of the 7.75% CCN issuance, the cancellation is directly effected in Barclays Bank PLC. For Barclays Bank PLC, the cancellation feature is separately valued from the host liability as an embedded derivative with changes in fair value reported in the income statement. The initial fair value of the host liability recognised was higher than par by the amount of the initial fair value of the derivative and the difference is amortised to the income statement over time.

Cash flow hedging

	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Income Statement
Net interest income	5,098	4,935
Tax	(778)	(729)
Equity
Cash flow hedging reserve	1,578	576

Barclays PLC cash flow hedging reserve is larger than Barclays Bank PLC, as Barclays Bank PLC is no longer exposed to the same variable rate cash flows. This is as a direct result of anticipated bank ring fencing and transfer of assets to an entity which is not expected to be consolidated by Barclays Bank PLC (although is expected to be consolidated by Barclays PLC). There is also a difference in the income statement due to variance in income and tax due to cash flow hedging not included in Barclays Bank PLC.

Group Service Company

The ownership of the Group Service Company was transferred in November 2016 contributing to the following key differences between Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC.


	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Staff costs	(4,460)	(3,356)
Administration and general expenses	(3,272)	(4,413)

Employees within the Group Service Company were reallocated from Barclays Bank PLC as part of the restructure. Therefore these staff costs are only shown in Barclays PLC. The Group Service Company recharges costs to Barclays Bank PLC leading to higher expenses. These are eliminated on consolidation in Barclays PLC.


	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Prepayments, accrued income and other assets	3,072	4,505

Barclays Bank PLC recognises a receivable from the Group Service Company which is eliminated on consolidation in Barclays PLC. The Bank funded acquisition of shares on behalf of the Group Service Company to satisfy employee share awards creating a receivable of £1.6bn.


	Barclays PLC	Barclays Bank PLC
	£m	£m
Goodwill and intangibles	7,724	7,293
Property, plant and equipment	2,749	2,440
Customer accounts	436,863	439,221
Debt securities in issue	76,664	76,106
Provisions	3,930	3,785

The difference is driven by Group Service Company balances reflected in Barclays PLC only, or in the case of customer accounts, intercompany balances between the Group Service Company and Barclays Bank PLC, which eliminate on consolidation in Barclays PLC.

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities

Each of the Directors (the names of whom are set out below) confirm that to the best of their knowledge, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements set out on pages 7 to 12 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union, and that the interim management report herein includes a fair review of the information required by Disclosure and Transparency Rules 4.2.7R and 4.2.8R namely:

●	an indication of important events that have occurred during the six months ended 30 June 2017 and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year
●	any related party transactions in the six months ended 30 June 2017 that have materially affected the financial position or performance of Barclays during that period and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of Barclays in the six months ended 30 June 2017.

Independent Review Report to Barclays Bank PLC

Independent review report to Barclays Bank PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2017 which comprises:

●	the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;
●	the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2017;
●	the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;
●	the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended; and
●	the related explanatory notes on pages 2 to 4, 13, 14 and 68 to 109.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”).

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. 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. We read the other information contained in the Results Announcement and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Results Announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Results Announcement in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the Results Announcement in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Results Announcement based on our review.

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

For notes specific to Barclays Bank PLC see pages 13 to 14 and for related Barclays PLC notes see pages 68 to 109.

As a result of the early adoption of the own credit provisions of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2017, own credit which was previously recorded in the income statement is now recognised within other comprehensive income. The cumulative unrealised own credit net loss of £175m has therefore been reclassified from retained earnings to a separate own credit reserve, within Other reserves. During H117 a £22m gain on own credit has been booked in the reserve.

Financial Statement Notes

1. Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as published by the IASB and 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 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays 2016 Annual Report, except for the option in IFRS 9 to recognise changes in own credit in other comprehensive income, which Barclays has applied from 1 January 2017. This will have no effect on net assets, and any changes due to own credit in prior periods have not been restated. Any realised and unrealised amounts recognised in other comprehensive income will not be reclassified to the income statement in future periods.

The main differences between Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC results are set out on pages 2 to 4.

Future accounting developments

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and was endorsed by the EU in November 2016. IFRS 9, in particular the impairment requirements, will lead to significant changes in the accounting for financial instruments. Barclays will not restate comparatives on initial application of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 but will provide detailed transition disclosures in accordance with the amended requirements of IFRS 7.

Barclays has a jointly accountable Risk and Finance IFRS 9 implementation programme with representation from all impacted departments.

In respect of the impairment and classification and measurement implementation programmes for financial assets, work has continued to prepare for adoption on 1 January 2018, with the focus during 2017 on quantifying impact, model validation and finalising processes, governance and controls.

As permitted by IFRS 9, Barclays will continue applying the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements but will provide the new hedge accounting disclosures required by the amended IFRS 7.

Since the publication of the 2016 Annual Report, the IASB has issued an Exposure Draft potentially impacting financial assets with prepayment features with negative compensation. Such prepayment features are present in some fixed rate corporate and investment bank loans. If such loans are concluded to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, the potential impact on opening equity and profit or loss would depend on their fair values compared to their carrying amounts, and the future changes in fair value. The IASB is currently considering comments received on the proposals.

Barclays will disclose the financial impact estimates when the implementation programme, validation and testing is further advanced, which is expected to be no later than the Barclays Annual Report 2017.

For further information on this and other new standards refer to the Barclays 2016 Annual Report.

Going concern

Having reassessed the principal risks, the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial information.

Performance Highlights

Transatlantic Consumer, Corporate and Investment Bank with Global Reach

Key strategic milestones achieved with the closure of Non-Core on 1 July 2017, selldown in Africa and

a CET1 ratio of 13.1% within our end-state target range

● Returns:	● Group Return on Tangible Equity (RoTE) of (4.6%) (H116: 4.8%). Excluding a loss on the sale of 33.7% of Barclays Africa Group Limited’s (BAGL) issued share capital of £1.4bn, an impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL of £1.1bn and charges for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) of £700m, Group RoTE was 8.1% ● Core RoTE of 7.3% (H116: 12.5%). Excluding charges for PPI, Core delivered a double digit RoTE of 10.4% on an average allocated tangible equity base that was £5bn higher year-on-year
● Non-Core rundown and closure:	● Closure of Non-Core on 1 July 2017 with risk weighted assets of £23bn (December 2016: £32bn), below guidance of approximately £25bn. Residual assets and liabilities are to be reintegrated into the Core ● Materially lower loss before tax of £647m (H116: £1,904m)
● Cost efficiency:	● Group cost: income ratio of 71% (H116: 70%) reflected a significant reduction in Non-Core costs to £284m (H116: £950m) and charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) ● Remain on track to deliver Group cost: income ratio below 60% over time
● Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL):	● Sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, resulting in the accounting deconsolidation of BAGL ● 47bps increase in the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio as a result of the sale and reflecting the proportional consolidation of BAGL for regulatory reporting purposes. Estimate a further c.26bps Group CET1 ratio accretion through to regulatory deconsolidation, which is expected, subject to regulatory approval, within the next 18 months ● H117 included an impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL of £1.1bn and a loss on the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital of £1.4bn, primarily due to recycling of currency translation reserve losses to the income statement
● Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio:	● CET1 ratio increased to 13.1% (December 2016: 12.4%) reflecting strong organic capital generation and the benefit of the sale of BAGL, partially offset by charges for PPI, pension contributions and the redemption of USD preference shares
● Holding Company (HoldCo) transition:	● Continued to transition to HoldCo funding with £7.6bn equivalent of issuance ● H117 included the redemption of $1.375bn 7.1% Series 3 USD preference shares

Improved Group profit before tax driven by reduced Non-Core drag

●	Group profit before tax increased 13% to £2,341m reflecting materially lower losses in Non-Core of £647m (H116: £1,904m), while Core profit before tax reduced 25% to £2,988m impacted by charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) and the non-recurrence of the £615m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116
●	Barclays UK RoTE of 4.6% (H116: 13.6%) and cost: income ratio of 72% (H116: 61%) reflected charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m). Net interest margin (NIM) improved 10bps to 3.69%, with net interest income increasing 2% to £3,045m
●	Barclays International RoTE of 12.4% (H116: 14.3%) reflected RoTE of 28.0% (H116: 50.9%) in Consumer, Cards and Payments and an improved RoTE of 9.7% (H116: 8.4%) in the Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB)
●	Loss after tax in respect of discontinued operation of £2,195m included an impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL of £1,090m and a loss on the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital of £1,435m, primarily due to recycling of currency translation reserve losses to the income statement
●	Group basic loss per share of (6.6p) (H116: earnings of 6.9p) with earnings per share in respect of continuing operations of 7.1p (H116: 6.0p). Excluding the loss on the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, the impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL and charges for PPI of £700m, earnings per share were 11.8p
●	Tangible net asset value per share decreased to 284p (December 2016: 290p) as profit from continuing operations was offset by decreases across reserves

Group Chief Executive Officer’s Review

“The second quarter saw us complete two critically important planks of our strategy; both of them ahead of schedule.

First, we reduced our majority shareholding in Barclays Africa Group Limited to a level which allows us to apply for regulatory deconsolidation, and we expect to achieve that in 2018. We have permission to apply proportional consolidation to our reduced shareholding, which means that our CET1 ratio stands at 13.1% today, within our end-state target range. We will realise a further c.26bps uplift resulting from the sale.

Second, we completed the accelerated rundown of our Non-Core unit to below our target of £25bn in Risk Weighted Assets, allowing us to close it 6 months early and incorporate the residual assets back into the Core.

Accomplishing both of these milestones marks an end to the restructuring of the Barclays Group, and brings forward the date when our shareholders can benefit from the full earnings power of this business.

That power is evident once again in the performance reported today. At the half year, Group profit before tax increased 13% to £2,341m. Our strong businesses, Barclays UK and Barclays International, posted attractive Returns on Tangible Equity of 20.4% - excluding the provision for PPI - and 12.4% respectively.

Our business is now radically simplified, the restructuring is complete, our capital ratio is within our end-state target range, and while we are also working to put conduct issues behind us, we can now focus on what matters most to our shareholders: improving Group returns.

We have accordingly established a new target today which is to achieve a greater than 10% Group Return on Tangible Equity over time.

Finally we will, at the full year results early next year, provide investors with an updated capital management policy for the Group.”

James E Staley, Group Chief Executive Officer

Group Finance Director’s Review

Results for the first half of the year demonstrated significant progress against the Group’s strategy, evidenced by solid underlying Core performance, materially lower losses in Non-Core, the sell down to a target stake in BAGL and further progress on capital. The Core business reported a double digit RoTE of 10.4%, excluding the impact of charges for PPI, on a materially increased average tangible equity base. The closure of Non-Core on 1 July 2017 represented a significant milestone in the restructuring of the bank, with RWAs of £23bn, less than the previous guidance of c.£25bn, and the sale of a 33.7% stake in BAGL resulted in the accounting deconsolidation of the entity. Group H117 results were impacted by a loss on the sale of, and an impairment of Barclays’ holding in, BAGL. The Group’s CET1 ratio benefitted by 47bps from the sale and reflecting the proportional consolidation of BAGL, which, along with underlying organic capital generation, contributed to the capital ratio increasing to 13.1%, within the end-state target range.

Group performance

●	Profit before tax increased 13% to £2,341m, driven by materially reduced losses from the Non-Core which reported a loss before tax of £647m (H116: £1,904m). Core profits decreased 25% to £2,988m, impacted by charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) and the non-recurrence of a £615m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116. H117 results were also impacted by the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP of 12% and 10% respectively, compared to H116, which positively impacted income and adversely affected impairment and operating expenses
●	Total income decreased 1% to £10,881m, reflecting a 2% reduction in income in the Core to £11,411m, predominantly in Head Office, partially offset by a 10% reduction in Non-Core negative income to £530m. Income increased 3% in Barclays International, with growth across both CIB and Consumer, Cards and Payments, though decreased 2% in Barclays UK, impacted by the non-recurrence of a gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116
●	Credit impairment charges increased £123m to £1,054m, driven by a 53% increase in Consumer, Cards and Payments, mainly reflecting a change in portfolio mix, an increase in underlying delinquency trends in US Cards and business growth, partially offset by lower impairment in CIB. As a result, the Group loan loss rate increased 10bps to 49bps
●	Operating expenses were broadly in line at £7,732m (H116: £7,697m), driven by a 10% increase in Core to £7,448m due to charges for PPI, the impact of the change in compensation awards introduced in Q416 and business growth and investment, which more than offset cost efficiencies. Non-Core operating expenses reduced 70% to £284m as the segment continued to be rundown
●	Other net income increased to £246m (H116: £322m expense) reflecting a gain of £109m on the sale of Barclays’ share in VocaLink to MasterCard and a gain of £76m on the sale of a joint venture in Japan. A gain of £189m on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt was broadly offset by the recycling of £180m of currency translation reserve losses to the income statement
●	Loss after tax in respect of the Africa Banking discontinued operation of £2,195m (H116: profit of £311m) included a £1,090m impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL and a £1,435m loss on the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, primarily due to recycling of currency translation reserve losses to the income statement on accounting deconsolidation
●	RoTE was (4.6%) (H116: 4.8%) and basic loss per share was (6.6p) (H116: earnings of 6.9p). Excluding the impact of the loss on the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, the impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL and charges for PPI RoTE, was 8.1% and earnings per share were 11.8p

Core performance

●	The Core business generated an RoTE of 7.3% (H116: 12.5%), though excluding charges for PPI delivered a double digit RoTE of 10.4%
●	Profit before tax decreased 25% to £2,988m mainly due to the impact of charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) and the non-recurrence of the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited of £615m in H116
●	Total income decreased 2% to £11,411m driven by reduced income in Head Office, primarily due to the non-recurrence of own credit gains in H116, and in Barclays UK, mainly due to the non-recurrence of the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited. This was partially offset by 3% growth in Barclays International, with growth across both CIB and Consumer, Cards and Payments
●	Credit impairment charges increased 17% to £1,024m, driven by increased impairment in Consumer, Cards and Payments mainly reflecting a change in portfolio mix, an increase in underlying delinquency trends in US Cards and business growth. The Core loan loss rate increased 11bps to 54bps
●	Operating expenses increased 10% to £7,448m driven by charges for PPI, the change in compensation awards introduced in Q416, higher structural reform programme costs and business growth and investment in Consumer, Cards and Payments
●	Other net income of £49m (H116: £9m expense) reflected a gain of £109m on the sale of Barclays’ share in VocaLink to MasterCard and a gain of £76m on the sale of a joint venture in Japan, offset by an expense of £180m on the recycling of the currency translation reserve to the income statement on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt

Barclays UK

●	RoTE reduced to 4.6% (H116: 13.6%) with a 41% decrease in profit before tax to £634m due to charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) and the non-recurrence of the £151m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116
●	Total income decreased 2% to £3,661m driven by the non-recurrence of the £151m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116 and the impact of the UK base rate reduction in 2016, partially offset by pricing initiatives and deposit growth. The net interest margin increased 10bps to 3.69%
●	Credit impairment charges increased £32m year-on-year to £398m, reflecting higher charge-offs in Personal Banking and the higher recoveries in H116. Underlying delinquency trends reduced year-on-year, with 30 and 90 day arrears rates in UK Cards improving year-on-year to 2.0% (H116: 2.3%) and 0.9% (H116: 1.2%) respectively
●	Operating expenses increased 14% to £2,628m, due to charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m), the costs of setting up the ring-fenced bank and investment in cyber resilience and technology, partially offset by cost efficiencies

Barclays International

●	RoTE of 12.4% (H116: 14.3%) reflected an improved RoTE of 9.7% in CIB (H116: 8.4%) and an RoTE of 28.0% (H116: 50.9%) in Consumer, Cards and Payments
●	Profit before tax decreased 5% to £2,617m driven by an increase in operating expenses and impairment, partially offset by higher income
●	Total income increased 3% to £7,748m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, with growth in both CIB and Consumer, Cards and Payments. CIB income increased 3% to £5,346m driven by higher Banking income, partially offset by a decrease in Macro income, while Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 2% to £2,402m including growth in US Cards
●	Credit impairment charges increased 23% to £625m driven by Consumer, Cards and Payments, which increased 53% to £575m, due to a change in portfolio mix, an increase in underlying delinquency trends in US Cards, business growth and the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. CIB credit impairment charges reduced 62% to £50m due to the non-recurrence of oil and gas single name charges in H116
●	Total operating expenses increased 10% to £4,720m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP. CIB operating expenses increased 7% to £3,697m reflecting the change in compensation awards introduced in Q416 and higher structural reform programme costs, partially offset by a reduction in restructuring charges and cost efficiencies. Consumer, Cards and Payments operating expenses increased 21% to £1,023m including continued growth and investment
●	Other net income increased to £214m (H116: £19m) reflecting a gain of £109m on the sale of Barclays’ share in VocaLink to MasterCard and a gain of £76m on the sale of a joint venture in Japan

Head Office

●	Income reduced £299m to £2m, primarily due to the early adoption of the own credit provisions of IFRS 9 and lower net income from treasury operations. Own credit, which was previously recorded in the income statement (H116: gain of £183m) is now recognised within other comprehensive income
●	Loss before tax of £263m (H116: profit of £134m) included an expense of £180m on the recycling of the currency translation reserve to the income statement on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt

Non-Core performance

●	Non-Core to close on 1 July 2017, with residual assets and liabilities to be reintegrated into the Core and, as previously guided to, it is expected that risk weighted assets and loss before tax previously associated with Non-Core will continue to reduce in future periods
●	Progress on the rundown continued with RWAs reduced to £22.8bn (December 2016: £32.1bn), below guidance of approximately £25bn, driven by a £5bn reduction in Derivatives, a £2bn reduction in Businesses and a £1bn reduction in Securities and loans
●	Loss before tax decreased to £647m (H116: £1,904m) driven by lower operating expenses, favourable fair value movements on the Education, Social Housing and Local Authority (ESHLA) portfolio, the non-recurrence of impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail business in H116 and a £189m gain on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt
●	Total income increased £56m to a net expense of £530m driven by increased Securities and loans income primarily due to positive fair value movements on the ESHLA portfolio. This was offset by reduced Derivatives income, reflecting increased cost of exits, and lower Businesses income following the completion of the sale of the Italian retail, Southern European cards and Barclays Bank Egypt businesses
●	Operating expenses improved 70% to £284m reflecting the completion of the sale of several businesses, a reduction in restructuring charges, and lower litigation and conduct charges
●	Other net income increased to £197m (H116: £313m expense) reflecting a £189m gain on sale of Barclays Bank Egypt and the non-recurrence of impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail business in H116

Group capital and leverage

●	The fully loaded CET1 ratio increased to 13.1% (December 2016: 12.4%) principally due to a reduction in RWAs of £38.2bn to £327.4bn. CET1 capital decreased £2.4bn to £42.8bn
	–	Profits relating to continuing operations were largely offset by decreases in other qualifying reserves as a result of the redemption of USD preference shares, the separation payments relating to the BAGL disposal and increased pension deductions. CET1 capital further decreased by £1.8bn as a result of BAGL minority interest no longer being included under proportional consolidation
	–	Losses relating to the discontinued operation due to the impairment allocated to the goodwill of Barclays’ holding in BAGL and the recycling of the BAGL currency translation reserve losses to the income statement had no impact on CET1 capital
	–	The decrease in RWAs principally reflected the £27.9bn reduction as a result of the proportional consolidation of BAGL following the selldown of Barclays’ holding, as well as reductions in Non-Core
●	The average UK leverage ratio increased to 4.8% (December 2016: 4.5%) driven by an increase in the average fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £52.1bn (December 2016: £51.6bn) and a decrease in the average UK leverage exposure to £1,092bn (December 2016: £1,137bn)
●	Tangible net asset value per share decreased to 284p (December 2016: 290p) primarily due to profit after tax excluding additional charges for PPI being more than offset by the redemption of USD preference shares, dividends paid and reduction in reserves including the currency translation and cash flow hedge reserves

Group funding and liquidity

●

The Group continued to maintain surpluses to its internal and regulatory requirements. The liquidity pool increased to £201bn (December 2016: £165bn). The increase in the liquidity pool was driven by a net increase in minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) issuance, drawdown from the Bank of England Term Funding Scheme, higher money market balances and deposit growth. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) increased to 149% (December 2016: 131%), equivalent to a surplus of £65bn (December 2016: £39bn) to 100%, reflecting our approach to build a conservative liquidity position

●

Wholesale funding outstanding excluding repurchase agreements was £163bn (December 2016: £158bn). The Group issued £7.6bn equivalent of capital and term senior unsecured debt from Barclays PLC (HoldCo) of which £4.8bn was in public senior unsecured debt, and £2.8bn in capital instruments. In the same period, £4.7bn of Barclays Bank PLC (OpCo) capital and senior public term instruments either matured or were redeemed, including the $1.375bn 7.1% Series 3 USD preference shares

Other matters

●	On 1 June 2017, Barclays sold 286 million ordinary shares of BAGL, representing 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital. The sale resulted in the accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Barclays Group. Following the sale, BAGL is accounted for as an Available for Sale (AFS) asset in Barclays’ financial statements and is no longer reported as a discontinued operation. The Group’s CET1 ratio increased 47bps as a result of the sale and reflecting the proportional consolidation of BAGL for regulatory reporting purposes
●	As at 30 June 2017, Barclays accounted for 139 million ordinary shares in BAGL, representing 16.4% of BAGL’s issued share capital. Barclays had an obligation at this date to contribute 1.5% of BAGL’s ordinary shares or the cash equivalent to a Black Economic Empowerment scheme. At 30 September 2017, Barclays will account for 126 million ordinary shares in BAGL, currently representing 14.9% of BAGL’s issued share capital
●	The latest triennial valuation of the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF) with an effective date of 30 September 2016 has been completed and showed a funding deficit of £7.9bn and funding level of 81.5%, versus a £6.0bn funding deficit at the 30 September 2015 update. Amongst other measures, Barclays and the UKRF agreed a recovery plan with revised deficit reduction contributions of £740m in 2017 (of which £620m has been paid in H117), £500m per annum in 2018 to 2020, and £1,000m per annum in 2021 to 2026
●	Additional charges of £700m (H116: £400m) relating to PPI were recognised in Q217, primarily to reflect higher than expected complaints flow in the year to date. The remaining PPI provision as at June 2017 was £2,109m (December 2016: £1,979m)
●	Certain legal proceedings and investigations relating to legacy issues remain outstanding. Resolving outstanding legacy issues in an appropriate timeframe will continue to be a priority. Please see Note 19 to the financial statements for details of relevant matters

Dividends

●	An interim dividend of 1.0p per share will be paid on 18 September 2017

Outlook and financial targets

●	The Group remains focused on cost efficiency, creating capacity to self-fund investment in our businesses, and continues to target a Group cost: income ratio of less than 60% over time
●	Following the closure of the Non-Core segment on 1 July 2017, the Group’s previous returns target of converging Group returns with Core returns is transitioned to a target of achieving a Group RoTE of greater than 10.0% over time, underpinned by a combination of cost focus and redeployment of capital from business lines delivering inadequate returns
●	The Group expects the dividend for the full year to total 3.0p per share as previously guided. The Group will update the market on its updated capital management framework including the dividend policy at the full year results in February 2018

Income statement – H117 compared to H116

●	Profit before tax decreased 41% to £634m primarily due to charges for PPI of £700m (H116: £400m) and the non-recurrence of the £151m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share in Visa Europe Limited in H116
●	Total income decreased 2% to £3,661m due to the non-recurrence of the £151m gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116 and the impact of the UK base rate reduction in 2016, partially offset by pricing initiatives and deposit growth
	–	Personal Banking income decreased 6% to £1,877m driven by the non-recurrence of the gain on disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited in H116, the impact of the UK base rate reduction in 2016 and asset margin pressure, partially offset by pricing initiatives and deposit growth
	–	Barclaycard Consumer UK income increased 4% to £993m reflecting improved margins

Income statement – H117 compared to H116

●	Profit before tax decreased 5% to £2,617m driven by a 10% increase in total operating expenses and a 23% increase in impairment, partially offset by a 3% increase in total income
●	Total income increased 3% to £7,748m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP, as CIB income increased 3% to £5,346m and Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 2% to £2,402m
–	Markets income decreased 5% to £2,558m
	–	Credit income increased 18% to £695m driven by improved performance in the European business and increased municipals income
	–	Equities income was broadly in line at £917m (H116: £919m) driven by lower US equity derivatives revenue, offset by improved performance in cash equities and equity financing
	–	Macro income decreased 20% to £946m driven by lower market volatility in rates and the impact of exiting energy-related commodities
–	Banking income increased 10% to £2,749m
	–	Banking fees income increased 27% to £1,400m, driven by higher debt underwriting, equity underwriting and advisory fees, with fee share up in all products
	–	Corporate lending reduced 10% to £547m primarily due to higher losses on fair value hedges, a reduction in work-out gains and reduced balances
	–	Transactional banking income increased 1% to £802m as higher deposit balances were partially offset by margin compression in a low base rate environment
–	Consumer, Cards and Payments income increased 2% to £2,402m driven by continued growth, a gain of £192m relating to an asset sale in US cards and a valuation gain on Barclays’ preference shares in Visa Inc. of £74m, partially offset by the non-recurrence of the gain on the disposal of Barclays’ share of Visa Europe Limited of £464m in H116
●	Credit impairment charges increased 23% to £625m including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP
–	CIB credit impairment charges reduced 62% to £50m due to the non-recurrence of oil and gas single name charges in H116
–	Consumer, Cards and Payments credit impairment charges increased 53% to £575m primarily driven by a change in portfolio mix, an increase in underlying delinquency trends in US cards and business growth. 30 and 90 days arrears rates within US Cards were broadly stable at 2.2% (H116: 2.2%) and 1.1% (H116: 1.0%) respectively, including a benefit from the Q117 asset sale in US cards
●	Total operating expenses increased 10% to £4,720m, including the appreciation of average USD and EUR against GBP
–	CIB increased 7% to £3,697m reflecting the change in compensation awards introduced in Q416 and higher structural reform programme costs, partially offset by a reduction in restructuring charges and cost efficiencies
–	Consumer, Cards and Payments increased 21% to £1,023m including continued growth and investment, primarily within the US Cards and merchant acquiring businesses
●	Other net income increased to £214m (H116: £19m) due to a gain of £109m on the sale of Barclays’ share in VocaLink to MasterCard and a gain of £76m on the sale of a joint venture in Japan

Balance sheet – 30 June 2017 compared to 31 December 2016

●	Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost decreased £6.5bn to £204.8bn with CIB decreasing £5.3bn to £166.3bn due to a reduction in lending and cash collateral, partially offset by an increase in settlement balances. Consumer, Cards and Payments decreased £1.2bn to £38.5bn due to an asset sale in US cards in Q117, partially offset by the realignment of certain clients from Barclays UK to Barclays International in preparation for structural reform
●	Trading portfolio assets increased £10.1bn to £83.3bn due to increased activity
●	Derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities decreased £47.8bn to £108.4bn and £43.8bn to £116.8bn respectively, reflecting the adoption of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) rulebook change to daily settlement and an increase in major interest rate forward curves and depreciation of USD against GBP
●	Reverse repurchase agreements and other similar lending increased £3.8bn to £17.2bn primarily due to increased trading desks’ funding requirements
●	Financial assets designated at fair value increased £31.8bn to £94.1bn primarily due to increased matched book trading and trading desks’ funding requirements
●	Customer deposits increased £14.1bn to £230.3bn, with CIB increasing £6.8bn to £173.0bn primarily driven by an increase in settlement balances, partially offset by a decrease in cash collateral and corporate deposits. Consumer, Cards and Payments increased £7.3bn to £57.3bn driven by the realignment of certain clients from Barclays UK to Barclays International in preparation for structural reform
●	RWAs remained broadly in line at £212.2bn (December 2016: £212.7bn) driven by a reduction due to the depreciation of USD against GBP, an asset sale in US cards in Q117 and credit quality improvement, offset by increased trading portfolio and securities financing transaction volumes

Income statement – H117 compared to H116

●	Loss before tax was £263m (H116: profit of £134m)
●	Total income reduced £299m to £2m following the early adoption of the own credit provisions of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2017 and lower net income from treasury operations. Own credit, which was previously recorded in the income statement (H116: gain of £183m), is now recognised within other comprehensive income

Balance sheet – 30 June 2017 compared to 31 December 2016

●	Total assets decreased to £17.3bn (December 2016: £75.2bn) primarily due to the sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital resulting in the accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Barclays Group
●	RWAs decreased to £26.2bn (December 2016: £53.3bn) reflecting a £27.9bn reduction as a result of the proportional consolidation of BAGL

Barclays Non-Core

Income statement – H117 compared to H116

●	Loss before tax reduced to £647m (H116: £1,904m) driven by lower operating expenses, favourable fair value movements on the ESHLA portfolio, the non-recurrence of impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail business in H116 and a gain on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt
●	Total income increased £56m to a net expense of £530m
–	Businesses income reduced to £10m (H116: £377m) primarily due to the completion of the sale of the Italian retail, Southern European cards and Barclays Bank Egypt businesses
–	Securities and loans income increased £808m to net income of £43m primarily driven by fair value gains of £44m (H116: £424m expense) on the ESHLA portfolio and the non-recurrence of the £182m loss associated with the restructure of the ESHLA portfolio loan terms in H116
–	Derivatives income reduced £385m to an expense of £583m reflecting losses on the rundown of the portfolio
●	Credit impairment charges improved 45% to £30m due to higher recoveries across Europe and investment banking activities
●	Total operating expenses improved 70% to £284m reflecting the completion of the sale of several businesses, a reduction in restructuring charges, and lower litigation and conduct charges
●	Other net income of £197m (H116: £313m expense) included a £189m gain on the sale of Barclays Bank Egypt. H116 included a £372m impairment associated with the valuation of the French retail business

Balance sheet – 30 June 2017 compared to 31 December 2016

●	Loans and advances to banks and customers at amortised cost decreased 5% to £48.3bn due to a decrease in cash collateral assets, partially offset by the reclassification of £1.5bn of ESHLA loans now recognised at amortised cost, following the restructuring of certain loans within the portfolio
●	Derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities decreased 20% to £150.3bn and 20% to £143.0bn respectively, due to the continued rundown of the derivative back book and an increase in major interest rate forward curves
●	Customer deposits decreased 6% to £11.8bn due to a decrease in cash collateral
●	Total assets decreased 17% to £233.0bn due to lower derivative financial instrument assets
●	RWAs reduced £9.3bn to £22.8bn including a £5bn reduction in Derivatives, a £2bn reduction in Businesses and a £1bn reduction in Securities and loans

Barclays Non-Core closure and reintegration into Core

●	The Non-Core segment was closed on 1 July 2017 with the residual assets and liabilities, and prospective financial performance to be reintegrated into Barclays UK, Barclays International and Head Office. Financial results up until 30 June 2017 will continue to be reflected in the Non-Core
–	As at 30 June 2017 Non-Core RWAs were £22.8bn. It is estimated that c.£3.5bn will be reintegrated with Barclays UK comprising of ESHLA loans excluding higher education, c.£8.8bn will be reintegrated with Barclays International, primarily relating to derivatives and ESHLA higher education, and c.£10.5bn will be reintegrated with Head Office, primarily relating to Italian mortgages and operational risk
●	Guidance of a Non-Core loss before tax for 2017 of approximately £1bn is unchanged, with a loss before tax of approximately £300-400m in H217. The H217 loss before tax is anticipated to be split c.10% to Barclays UK, c.40% to Barclays International and c.50% to Head Office
●	As previously guided to, it is expected that risk weighted assets and loss before tax previously associated with Non-Core will continue to reduce in future periods

Discontinued Operation Results

Disposal of the shares in BAGL

On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to reduce the Group’s 62.3% interest in BAGL to a level which would permit Barclays to deconsolidate BAGL from a regulatory perspective and, prior to that, from an accounting perspective. From this date, BAGL was treated as a discontinued operation. On 5 May 2016, Barclays sold 12.2% of the Group’s interest in BAGL, reducing Barclays’ interest to 50.1% of BAGL’s issued share capital.

In December 2016, Barclays agreed the terms of the transitional services arrangements and separation payments of £0.7bn, as announced in Barclays’ 2016 Annual Report.

Following receipt of the required regulatory approvals, on 1 June 2017 Barclays sold 286 million ordinary shares of BAGL, representing 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, of which 7.0% is allocated to the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) who is expected to take receipt of the shares following the necessary regulatory approvals. Following the sale, as at 30 June 2017 Barclays accounted for 139 million ordinary shares in BAGL, representing 16.4% of BAGL’s issued share capital. An amount of £1,141m was recognised on the balance sheet at the date of disposal, representing the fair value.

Additionally, as at 30 June 2017 Barclays had an obligation to contribute 1.5% of BAGL’s ordinary shares or the cash equivalent to a Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) scheme. As at 30 September 2017, Barclays will account for 126 million ordinary shares in BAGL, currently representing 14.9% of BAGL’s issued share capital. A liability for the obligation to the BEE scheme of £105m is reflected on the balance sheet.

Financial performance

The discontinued operation reported a loss before tax of £2,041m in H117, representing (i) a profit before tax on Africa Banking operations for five months to 31 May 2017, excluding impairment of Barclays' holding in BAGL and loss on sale of BAGL, of £484m, (ii) a £60m loss on sale of the 33.7% share of BAGL’s issued share capital on 1 June 2017, (iii) a £1,375m loss on recycling of Other Comprehensive Income reserves of which £1,377m relates to the currency translation reserve, owing to the weakening of the ZAR since initial consolidation of BAGL in 2005, and (iv) a £1,090m impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL, predominantly allocated to acquisition goodwill. The recycling of the currency translation reserve and the impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL allocated to acquisition goodwill had no effect on the Group’s tangible net asset value or CET1 ratio.

Accounting and regulatory treatment

The sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital resulted in the accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Barclays Group, as of 1 June 2017. Barclays’ holding in BAGL technically met the requirements to be treated as an Associate, the subsequent revision of its governance rights in July 2017 means that it is treated as an Available for Sale (AFS) asset. Given the immateriality of the differences between the accounting treatments since 1 June it has been determined that it would be appropriate to treat this holding as an AFS asset since 1 June 2017. BAGL is consequently no longer reported as a discontinued operation and the retained investment will be reported in the Head Office segment. Barclays’ share of BAGL’s dividend will be recognised in the Group’s income statement when the right to receive the dividend has been established, and changes in fair value of the asset will be recognised in the AFS reserve.

For regulatory reporting purposes, BAGL is treated at 30 June 2017 on a proportional consolidated basis based on a holding of 23.4%. The Group’s CET1 ratio increased 47bps as a result of the sale and reflecting the proportional consolidation of BAGL. Barclays expects to proportionally consolidate BAGL in H217 based on a holding of 14.9%, following the contribution of 1.5% of BAGL’s issued share capital to a BEE scheme and the expected delivery of 7.0% of BAGL’s issued share capital to PIC. Subject to regulatory approval, Barclays expects to fully deconsolidate BAGL from a regulatory perspective within 18 months. The estimated future accretion to the Group’s CET1 ratio is c.26bps in aggregate.

Total Barclays UK and Barclays International net interest income increased 5% to £5,230m due to:

●	An increase in average customer assets to £274.7bn (H116: £270.9bn) predominantly driven by growth in Barclays International
●	Net interest margin increased 13bps to 3.84% primarily driven by higher margins on Personal Banking and Consumer, Cards and Payments deposits, partially offset by lower asset margins. Group net interest income decreased 2% to £5.1bn including net structural hedge contributions of £0.7bn (H116: £0.7bn)

Net interest margin by business reflects movements in the Group’s internal funding rates which are based on the cost to the Group of alternative funding in wholesale markets. The internal funding rate prices intra-group funding and liquidity to appropriately give credit to businesses with net surplus liquidity and to charge those businesses in need of alternative funding at a rate that is driven by prevailing market rates and includes a term premium.

Risk Management

Risk management and principal risks

The roles and responsibilities of the business groups, Risk and Compliance, in the management of risk in the firm are defined in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the framework is to identify the principal risks of the firm, the process by which the firm sets its appetite for these risks in its business activities, and the consequent limits which it places on related risk taking. The framework identifies eight Principal Risks: Credit Risk; Market Risk; Treasury and Capital Risk; Operational Risk; Conduct Risk; Reputation Risk; Model Risk; and Legal Risk. Further detail on these risks and how they are managed is available in the 2016 Annual Report or online at home.barclays.com/annualreport. There have been no significant changes to these principal risks in the period nor are any expected for the remaining six months of the financial year.

The following section gives an overview of Credit Risk, Market Risk and Treasury and Capital Risk for the period.

1	Excluding impairment charges on available for sale investments and reverse repurchase agreements. H117 impairment charges represent 6 months charge, whereas December 2016 impairment charges represent 12 months charge.

Total loans and advances decreased £6bn to £448bn driven by a decrease in lending to banks and customers, partially offset by an increase in net settlement and cash collateral balances.

Credit risk loans (CRLs) and the ratio of CRLs to gross loans and advances decreased £0.4bn to £6.1bn and 0.1% to 1.4% respectively.

Retail balances decreased 9% to £1.3bn primarily due to continued improvement in the residential mortgage and Barclaycard portfolios within Barclays UK.

●	Barclays UK: Forbearance balances decreased 9% to £841m following a continued improvement in mortgage and card portfolios driven by the benign economic environment
●	Barclays International: Balances decreased primarily in US cards due to stricter forbearance criteria whereas impairment allowance increased as a result of a strengthened impairment methodology

Wholesale balances increased 10% to £3.2bn primarily due to an increase in forborne balances in Barclays International slightly offset by a reduction in Barclays Non-Core portfolios.

●	Barclays UK: Forbearance balances remained stable at £590m (December 2016 : £589m)
●	Barclays International: Balances increased £355m to £2.4bn as consistent forbearance methodologies were introduced across CIB

2	Gross loans and advances include loans and advances to customers and banks. Risk metrics based on exposures to customers only.

Barclays UK: Arrears and charge-off rates remained stable reflecting the continuing low base rate environment. The recovery book impairment coverage ratio increased as a result of a reduction in the recovery book without a corresponding release in the impairment provision. Balance weighted LTV reduced to 47.4% (2016: 47.7%) as average house prices increased. This increase also contributed to a 4% reduction in home loans with LTV >100% to £229m (2016: £239m)

Within the UK home loans portfolio:

	●	Owner-occupied interest-only home loans comprised 29.5% (2016: 30.8%) of total balances. The average balance weighted LTV on these loans reduced to 40.7% (2016: 41.7%) as house prices improved across core regions and >90 day arrears was stable at 0.2% (2016: 0.2%)
	●	Buy-to-let (BTL) home loans comprised 9.8% (2016: 9.1%) of total balances with the increase driven by strong performance in this segment. The average balance weighted LTV increased marginally to 52.9% (2016: 52.6%) while the >90 day arrears remained stable at 0.1% (2016: 0.1%)

Barclays UK: New lending remained stable at £10.0bn (H116: £10.0bn). The decrease in mortgages with LTV > 85% to 4.7% (H116 8.7%) reflects an increased focus on remortgage business, which is typically lower LTV, and the closure of the Help to Buy 2 scheme that supported owner occupied home purchase loans where maximum LTV was 95%.

1	Gross loans and advances include loans and advances to customers and banks. Risk metrics based on exposures to customers.
2	For UK and US cards, outstanding recovery book balances for acquired portfolios recognised at fair value (which have no related impairment allowance) have been excluded from the recovery book impairment coverage ratio. Losses have been recognised where related to additional spend from acquired accounts in the period post acquisition.

UK cards: In 2017, both early and late stage arrears remained broadly stable. Charge-off rates reduced in the first half of 2017 following the non-recurrence of one-off accelerated charge-offs. However, recovery book proportion of outstanding balances was higher due to accelerated charge-off of certain forbearance plans since the beginning of the year.

US cards: Arrears rates improved principally due to a one-off portfolio sale. The higher charge-off rate is a result of accelerating the timeframe in which settlements and bankrupt clients are charged off to align with US industry standards. The increase in impairment coverage ratio for recovery book was due to a model enhancement providing a more accurate representation of future recovery expectations.

1	Including BAGL.
2	The high and low VaR figures reported for each category did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported as a whole. Consequently a diversification effect balance for the high and low VaR figures would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the above table.

Average total management VaR decreased 9% to £20m. Credit Risk VaR reduced by 19% to £13m primarily driven by reduction in counterparty risk trading as Barclays CDS spread tightened and a decrease in loan commitment hedging.

Treasury and Capital Risk

The Group has a comprehensive Key Risk Control Framework for managing the Group’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Framework meets the PRA’s standards and is designed to ensure the Group maintains liquidity resources that are sufficient in amount and quality, and a funding profile that is appropriate to meet the liquidity risk appetite. The Liquidity Framework is delivered via a combination of policy formation, review and governance, analysis, stress testing, limit setting and monitoring.

Funding and liquidity

Whilst Barclays has a comprehensive framework for managing the Group’s liquidity risks, liquidity risk is managed separately at Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) due to local currency and funding requirements. All liquidity related disclosures treat BAGL on a fully deconsolidated basis.

Liquidity stress testing

Barclays manages the Group’s liquidity position against the Group’s internally defined Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA) and regulatory metrics such as CRD IV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). As at June 2017, the Group held eligible liquid assets well in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for both the 30 day Barclays-specific LRA and the LCR.

Liquidity pool as a percentage of anticipated net outflows as at 31 December 2016	120%	131%

Of the three stress scenarios monitored as part of the LRA, the 30 day Barclays specific scenario results in the lowest ratio at 155% (December 2016: 120%). This compares to 177% (December 2016: 134%) under the 90 day market-wide scenario and 190% (December 2016: 144%) under the 30 day combined scenario.

Barclays manages the Group’s liquidity position against the Group’s internally defined Liquidity Risk Appetite (LRA) and regulatory metrics, such as CRD IV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). As at 30 June 2017, the Group held eligible liquid assets significantly in excess of 100% of net stress outflows for both the 30 day Barclays-specific LRA and the LCR.

LRA buffer duration as of 30 June 2017 was observed at in excess of 90 days (December 2016: in excess of 90 days).

1	Of which over 98% (December 2016: over 98%) was placed with the Bank of England, US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Swiss National Bank.

Barclays manages the liquidity pool on a centralised basis. The liquidity pool is held unencumbered and is not used to support payment or clearing requirements. As at 30 June 2017, 94% (December 2016: 91%) of the liquidity pool was located in Barclays Bank PLC and was available to meet liquidity needs across the Barclays Group. The residual liquidity pool is held predominantly within Barclays Capital Inc. The portion of the liquidity pool outside of Barclays Bank PLC is held primarily against entity-specific stressed outflows and regulatory requirements.

Repurchase agreements fund reverse repurchase agreements and trading portfolio assets. Trading portfolio liabilities are settled by the remainder of reverse repurchase agreements.

Derivative liabilities and assets are largely matched. A substantial proportion of balance sheet derivative positions qualify for counterparty netting and the remaining portions are largely offset once netted against cash collateral received and paid.

Wholesale debt, along with the surplus of customer deposits to loans and advances to customers, is used to fund the liquidity pool. Term wholesale debt and equity largely fund other assets.

Composition of wholesale funding1

As the Group progresses to a Single Point of Entry resolution model, Barclays continues to issue debt capital and term senior unsecured funding from Barclays PLC, the holding company, replacing maturing debt in Barclays Bank PLC.

1	The composition of wholesale funds comprises the balance sheet reported Deposits from Banks, Financial liabilities at Fair Value, Debt Securities in Issue and Subordinated Liabilities, excluding cash collateral and settlement balances. It does not include participation in the Bank of England’s Term Funding Scheme.
2	Includes structured notes of £30.1bn, £8.2bn of which matures within one year.
3	Primarily comprised of fair value deposits £2.1bn and secured financing of physical gold £0.3bn.

Outstanding wholesale funding includes £40.3bn (December 2016: £37.6bn) of privately placed senior unsecured notes in issue. These notes are issued through a variety of distribution channels including intermediaries and private banks. Although not a requirement, the liquidity pool exceeded wholesale funding maturing in less than one year by £128.8bn (December 2016: £94.7bn).

Term financing

The Group issued £7.6bn equivalent of capital and term senior unsecured debt from Barclays PLC (HoldCo) of which £4.8bn was in public senior unsecured debt and £2.8bn was in capital instruments. In the same period, £4.7bn of Barclays Bank PLC (OpCo) capital and senior public term instruments either matured or were redeemed, including the $1.375bn 7.1% Series 3 USD preference shares.

In addition, Barclays has £8.6bn of term funding maturing in the remainder of 2017 and £11.2bn in 2018.

The Group expects to continue issuing public wholesale debt in 2017 from Barclays PLC, in order to ensure compliance with new prospective loss absorbency requirements and maintain a stable and diverse funding base by type, currency and distribution channel.

Credit ratings

In addition to monitoring and managing key metrics related to the financial strength of the Group, Barclays also solicits independent credit ratings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s, Fitch and Rating and Investment Information (R&I). These ratings assess the creditworthiness of the Group, its subsidiaries and branches, and are based on reviews of a broad range of business and financial attributes including risk management processes and procedures, capital strength, earnings, funding, asset quality, liquidity, accounting and governance.

As at 30 June 2017, all solicited ratings with all agencies remained unchanged since 31 December 2016. S&P affirmed Barclays’ ratings in May 2017 as part of their periodic review.

Barclays’ ratings outlooks for Moody’s and S&P remain negative following the outcome of the EU referendum in June 2016, which were part of a wider review which saw the two agencies place several UK banks on negative outlooks whilst affirming the ratings. The ratings continue to carry a stable outlook with Fitch.

Barclays also solicits issuer ratings from R&I for local issuances purposes in Japan and the ratings of A for Barclays Bank PLC and A- for Barclays PLC and were affirmed in July 2017 with stable outlooks.

CRD IV capital

Barclays’ current regulatory requirement is to meet a fully loaded CET1 ratio comprising the required 4.5% Pillar 1 minimum CET1 requirement and, phased in from 2016, a Combined Buffer Requirement. This currently comprises a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) and a Global Systemically Important Institution (G-SII) buffer determined by the PRA in line with guidance from the Financial Stability Board (FSB). Both buffers are subject to phased implementation at 25% per annum from 2016 with full effect from 2019. The CCB has been set at 2.5% with 1.25% applicable for 2017. The G-SII buffer for 2017 has been set at 2% with 1% applicable for 2017. On 21 November 2016 the FSB confirmed that the G-SII buffer for 2018 will be 1.5% with 1.1% applicable for 2018.

The Combined Buffer Requirement also includes a Counter-Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) and a Systemic Risk Buffer (SRB). On 27 June 2017 the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) increased the UK CCyB rate from 0% to 0.5% applicable from 27 June 2018. Other national authorities also determine the appropriate CCyBs that should be applied to exposures in their jurisdiction. CCyBs have started to apply for Barclays’ exposures to other jurisdictions; however based on current exposures these are not material. No SRB has been set to date.

In addition, Barclays’ Pillar 2A requirement as per the PRA’s Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) for 2017 based on a point in time assessment is 4.2% of which 56% needs to be met in CET1 form, equating to approximately 2.3% of RWAs. The Pillar 2A requirement is subject to at least annual review.

For regulatory reporting purposes, BAGL is treated on a proportional consolidated basis based on a Barclays’ holding in BAGL of 23.4%.

As at 30 June 2017 Barclays’ CET1 ratio was 13.1% which exceeds the 2017 transitional minimum requirement of 9.1% including the minimum 4.5% CET1 ratio requirement, 2.3% of Pillar 2A, a 1.25% CCB buffer, a 1% G-SII buffer and a 0% CCyB.

Closing CET1 capital	42,834	42,834

CET1 capital decreased £2.4bn to £42.8bn (December 2016: £45.2bn) due to the following:

●	A £0.9bn loss for the period attributable to equity holders. £1.4bn profit after tax in respect of continuing operations was more than offset by losses in discontinued operation of £2.3bn. These losses, resulting from the impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL allocated to goodwill and the recycling of BAGL currency translation reserve losses to the income statement, had no impact on CET1 capital with offsetting movements in the goodwill and intangible assets deduction and other qualifying reserves
●	A £0.5bn decrease for dividends paid and foreseen
●	A £0.7bn increase in the currency translation reserve largely due to the £1.4bn recycling of losses in BAGL to the income statement which were offset by a £0.6bn decrease due to the appreciation of GBP against USD and JPY
●	A £0.9bn decrease in other qualifying reserves which included a £0.5bn decrease as a result of USD preference share redemptions, and £0.4bn separation payments in relation to the partial BAGL disposal
●	A £0.5bn decrease net of tax as a result of movements relating to pensions. The pension asset capital deduction increased due to the UKRF, which is the Group’s main pension scheme, moving from a small deficit in December 2016 to a £0.7bn surplus largely due to contributions in the period
●	A £1.8bn decrease due to BAGL minority interests which are no longer eligible under proportional consolidation
●	A £1.3bn increase due to the goodwill and a decrease in the intangible assets deduction largely as a result of the impairment of Barclays’ holding in BAGL allocated to goodwill

Leverage ratio and exposures

Barclays is subject to a leverage ratio requirement that is implemented on a phased basis, with a transitional requirement of 3.4% as at 30 June 2017; this comprises of the 3% minimum requirement, a transitional G-SII additional leverage ratio buffer (G-SII ALRB) and a countercyclical leverage ratio buffer (CCLB). Based on both future and proposed requirements the expected end point leverage requirement is 4.0%. Additionally, the CRR fully loaded leverage requirement is currently expected at 3%, although this may be impacted by the Basel Consultation on the Leverage Framework.

Barclays is required to disclose a UK leverage ratio which is based on capital and exposure measures on the last day of the quarter; as well as an average UK leverage ratio based on the last day of each month in the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying cash at central banks from the calculation of leverage exposure. There is also a CRR leverage ratio disclosure requirement, which is based on the end point CRR definition of Tier 1 capital and the CRR definition of leverage exposure.

At 30 June 2017, Barclays’ UK leverage ratio was 5.0% (December 2016: 5.0%) and the average UK leverage ratio was 4.8% (December 2016: 4.5%), which exceeds the transitional leverage requirement for Barclays of 3.4%, and expected end point leverage requirement of 4.0%. The CRR leverage ratio was 4.5% (December 2016: 4.6%).

The CET1 capital held against the 0.35% transitional G-SII ALRB was £3.5bn. The impact of CCLB is currently nil.

The CRR leverage ratio decreased to 4.5% (December 2016: 4.6%) primarily driven by a £1.6bn decrease in fully loaded Tier 1 capital to £50.4bn (December 2016: £52.0bn):

●	Loans and advances and other assets decreased by £14bn to £693bn. This was driven primarily by a £67bn decrease in assets held for sale mainly due to the disposal of Barclays’ holding in BAGL; £44bn increase in cash and balances at central banks mainly due to an increase in the cash contributions to the Group liquidity pool; £17bn increase in settlement balances; £17bn decrease in lending for Barclays International and a £10bn increase in trading portfolio assets due to client activity
●	Reverse repurchase agreements increased £29bn to £105bn, primarily due to an increase in matched book trading
●	Net derivative leverage exposures, excluding net written credit protection and PFE on derivatives, decreased £15bn to £36bn due to a decrease in cash collateral and a reduction in IFRS derivatives mainly due to decrease in interest rate derivatives, continued rundown of Non-Core assets and decrease in foreign exchange derivatives
●	Regulatory consolidation adjustments increased £16bn to £10bn primarily due to the proportional consolidation of BAGL for regulatory purposes
●	Potential future exposure on derivatives decreased £9bn to £127bn primarily due to portfolio rundown in Non-Core

The difference between the average UK leverage ratio and the CRR leverage ratio was primarily driven by the exemption of qualifying central bank claims partially offset by higher positions for April and May within assets held for sale prior to the BAGL disposal, trading portfolio assets and settlement balances.

Additional Barclays’ regulatory disclosures prepared in accordance with the EBA Guidelines on materiality, proprietary and confidentiality and on disclosure frequency under Articles 432(1), 432(2) and 433 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (EBA/GL/2014/14) and EBA Guidelines on disclosure requirements under Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 will be disclosed on 25th August 2017, available at home.barclays/results.

Financial Statement Notes

1. Basis of preparation

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used in the Barclays 2016 Annual Report, except for the option in IFRS 9 to recognise changes in own credit in other comprehensive income, which Barclays has applied from 1 January 2017 as detailed in Note 17. This will have no effect on net assets, and any changes due to own credit in prior periods have not been restated. Any realised and unrealised amounts recognised in other comprehensive income will not be reclassified to the income statement in future periods.

Future accounting developments

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

Barclays has a jointly accountable Risk and Finance IFRS 9 implementation programme with representation from all impacted departments.

As permitted by IFRS 9, Barclays will continue applying the IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements but will provide the new hedge accounting disclosures required by the amended IFRS 7.

For further information on this and other new standards refer to the Barclays 2016 Annual Report.

Going concern

Having reassessed the principal risks, the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial information.

1	Amounts previously included in 2016 as commitments are now included in current and deferred bonus charges for consistency with 2017.

Total staff costs decreased 3% to £4,460m, principally reflecting:

●	A decrease in other resourcing costs of 22% to £797m mainly due to a decrease in redundancy and restructuring costs following the non-recurrence of costs relating to strategic initiatives within the CIB in the previous year
●	An increase in Group performance costs of 20% to £956m due to changes in the granting of incentives awards to more closely align to the income statement charge as announced in the Barclays 2016 Results Announcement

No awards have yet been granted in relation to the 2017 bonus pool as decisions regarding incentive awards are not taken by the Remuneration Committee until the performance for the full year can be assessed. The current year bonus charge for the first six months represents an accrual for estimated costs in accordance with accounting requirements.

4. Held for sale assets and discontinued operation

The Group applies IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

On 1 March 2016, Barclays announced its intention to reduce the Group’s 62.3% interest in BAGL. On 5 May 2016, Barclays sold 12.2% of the Group’s interest in BAGL. On 1 June 2017, Barclays reduced its shareholding by a further 33.7%. As a result, Barclays accounts for a holding of 16.4% with an obligation to contribute to a BEE scheme leaving a residual holding of 14.9%. This resulted in accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Group as of 1 June 2017, with the holding recognised as an available for sale investment valued at £1,146m in Barclays’ financial statements.

Prior to the sale of shares on 1 June 2017, impairment of £1,090m was recognised under IFRS 5 against the net assets of BAGL. Impairment under IFRS 5 is calculated as the difference between fair value less disposal costs and the carrying value of the disposal group. The fair value is determined by reference to the quoted market price for BAGL and the opening foreign exchange rate for ZAR/GBP as at 1 June 2017. Payments of £0.7bn have been made following execution of separation agreements and the completion of the sale. As at 30 June 2017, a liability for the obligation to the BEE scheme of £105m is reflected on the balance sheet.

The remaining balance in held for sale predominantly relates to the disposal of the French retail and Zimbabwean businesses which are intended for disposal early in the second half of 2017.

Prior to the sale of shares on 1 June 2017, BAGL met the requirements for presentation as a discontinued operation. As such, the results, which have been presented as the profit after tax and non-controlling interest in respect of the discontinued operation on the face of the Group income statement, are analysed in the income statement below. The income statement, statement of other comprehensive income and cash flow statement below represent five months of results as a discontinued operation to 31 May 2017, compared to the half year ended 30 June 2016.

Deferred tax	4,490	4,869	(47)	(29)
Total	4,901	5,430	(371)	(766)

The deferred tax asset of £4,490m (December 2016: £4,869m) includes £3,658m (December 2016: £3,973m) related to amounts in the US, with the majority of the remaining £832m (December 2016: £896m) related to amounts in the UK. Of the total deferred tax asset, £362m (December 2016: £503m) related to tax losses and £4,128m (December 2016: £4,366m) related to temporary differences.

The tax charge for H117 was £778m (H116: £715m), representing an effective tax rate of 33.2% (H116: 34.7%). The effective tax rate is higher than the UK statutory tax rate of 19.25% (2016: 20%) primarily due to profits outside the UK taxed at higher local statutory tax rates, charges for PPI being non-deductible for tax purposes, the tax surcharge of 8% that applies to banks’ UK profits, non-deductible expenses and non-creditable taxes. These factors, which have each increased the effective tax rate, are partially offset by the impact of non-taxable gains and income.

Equity attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by £4,095m to £2,397m as at 30 June 2017 driven by Barclays’ sale of 33.7% of BAGL’s issued share capital, which resulted in accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Group, and by the redemption of $1.375bn Barclays Bank PLC 7.1% Series 3 non-cumulative callable preference shares on 15 March 2017.

The profit after tax attributable to other equity holders of £301m (H116: £208m) is offset by a tax credit recorded in reserves of £82m (H116: £58m). The net amount of £219m (H116: £150m), along with non-controlling interests (NCI) is deducted from profit after tax in order to calculate earnings per share.

8. Dividends on ordinary shares

It is Barclays’ policy to declare and pay dividends on a semi-annual basis. An interim dividend for 2017 of 1.0p (H116: 1.0p) per ordinary share will be paid on 18 September 2017 to shareholders on the Share Register on 11 August 2017.

Total recognised derivative assets/(liabilities)	36,522,344	346,626	(340,487)

Derivative assets decreased by £87bn to £260bn primarily due to interest rate derivatives reflecting the adoption of a CME rulebook change to daily settlement, continued rundown of the Non-Core derivative back book and an increase in major interest rate forward curves and foreign exchange derivatives due to depreciation of USD against GBP as at the reporting date.

The IFRS netting posted against derivative assets was £13bn including £1bn of cash collateral netted (December 2016: £12bn including £1bn cash collateral netted) and £12bn for liabilities (December 2016: £11bn) with no cash collateral netted. Derivative asset exposures would be £238bn (December 2016: £315bn) lower than reported under IFRS if netting were permitted for assets and liabilities with the same counterparty or for which the Group holds cash collateral of £34bn (December 2016: £42bn). Similarly, derivative liabilities would be £238bn (December 2016: £317bn) lower reflecting counterparty netting and cash collateral placed of £34bn (December 2016: £44bn). In addition, non cash collateral of £6bn (December 2016: £8bn) was held in respect of derivative assets and £2bn (December 2016: £4bn) was placed in respect of derivative liabilities. Collateral amounts are limited to net on balance sheet exposure so as to not include over-collateralisation.

Of the £34bn cash collateral held, £22bn (December 2016: £27bn) was included in deposits from banks and £12bn (December 2016: £15bn), was included in customer accounts. Of the £34bn cash collateral placed, £15bn (December 2016: £18bn) was included in loans and advances to banks and £19bn (December 2016: £26bn) was included in loans and advances to customers.

11. Fair value of financial instruments

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 18 Fair value of financial instruments of the 2016 Annual Report, which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, valuation methodologies used in calculating fair value and the valuation control framework which governs oversight of valuations. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted or the valuation methodologies used.

Disposal groups held for sale and measured at fair value less cost to sell are included in the fair value table. For disposal groups measured at carrying amount, the underlying financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are included in the fair value disclosures on pages 83 to 90 and items measured at amortised costs are included on page 91.

Assets and liabilities reclassified between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no material transfers between Level 1 and 2 (December 2016: £2,340m government bonds assets transferred from Level 2 to Level 1).

Level 3 movement analysis

The following table summarises the movements in the Level 3 balance during the period. The table shows gains and losses and includes amounts for all financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value transferred to and from Level 3 during the period. Transfers have been reflected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the year.

Assets and liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are not included as these are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Asset and liability moves between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to i) an increase or decrease in observable market activity related to an input or ii) a change in the significance of the unobservable input, with assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 if an unobservable input is deemed significant.

During the period, £1.7bn of non-asset backed loans were derecognised due to a substantial modification of terms on a subset of the ESHLA loans. The new restructured loans are measured on an amortised cost basis.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used, as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models.

Current year valuation and sensitivity methodologies are consistent with those described within Note 18 Fair value of financial instruments in the 2016 Annual Report.

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a range of reasonably possible alternatives alongside considering the impact of using alternative models, would be to increase fair values by up to £0.8bn (December 2016: £1.3bn) or to decrease fair values by up to £1.2bn (December 2016: £1.4bn) with substantially all the potential effect impacting profit and loss rather than reserves.

Significant unobservable inputs

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities recognised at fair value and classified as Level 3 are consistent with Note 18 Fair value of financial instruments in the 2016 Annual Report. The description of the significant unobservable inputs and the sensitivity of fair value measurement of the instruments categorised as Level 3 assets or liabilities to increases in significant unobservable inputs is also found in Note 18 Fair value of financial instruments of the 2016 Annual Report. Assets and liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are not included as these are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Fair value adjustments

Key balance sheet valuation adjustments are quantified below:

	£m	£m
Exit price adjustments derived from market bid-offer spreads	(409)	(475)
Uncollateralised derivative funding	(47)	(82)
Derivative credit valuation adjustments	(121)	(237)
Derivative debit valuation adjustments	131	242

●	Exit price adjustments decreased £66m to £409m primarily due to tightening in the market bid offer spreads
●	Uncollateralised derivative funding decreased £35m to £47m as a result of tightening in funding spreads and unwinds of derivative exposures
●	Credit Valuation Adjustments (CVA) decreased £116m to £121m as a result of tightening in credit spreads and unwinds of derivative exposures
●	Debit Valuation Adjustments (DVA) decreased £111m to £131m as a result of tightening in credit spreads

Portfolio exemption

The Group uses the portfolio exemption in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to measure the fair value of groups of financial assets and liabilities. Instruments are measured using the price that would be received to sell a net long position (i.e. an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (i.e. a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date under current market conditions. Accordingly, the Group measures the fair value of the group of financial assets and liabilities consistently with how market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

Unrecognised gains as a result of the use of valuation models using unobservable 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 initial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, is £120m (2016: £179m). There are additions of £14m (2016: £29m) and £73m (2016: £37m) of amortisation and releases.

Third party credit enhancements

Structured and brokered certificates of deposit issued by Barclays Group are insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States. The FDIC is funded by premiums that Barclays and other banks pay for deposit insurance coverage. The carrying value of these issued certificates of deposit that are designated under the IAS 39 fair value option includes this third party credit enhancement. The on balance sheet value of these brokered certificates of deposit amounted to £3,203m (December 2016: £3,905m).

Comparison of carrying amounts and fair values for assets and liabilities not held at fair value

Valuation methodologies employed in calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost are consistent with the 2016 Annual Report disclosure.

The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost on the Group’s balance sheet:

Payment Protection Insurance Redress

As at 30 June 2017, Barclays had recognised cumulative provisions totalling £9.1bn (December 2016: £8.4bn) against the cost of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) redress and associated processing costs with utilisation of £7.0bn (December 2016: £6.5bn), leaving a residual provision of £2.1bn (December 2016: £2.0bn).

Through to 30 June 2017, 2.0m (December 2016: 1.8m) customer initiated claims1 had been received and processed. The volume of claims received during H117 increased 32%2 from H216 (increased by 15% from H116).

The current provision reflects the estimate of costs of PPI redress primarily relating to customer initiated complaints and on-going remediation programmes. This also includes liabilities managed by third parties arising from portfolios previously sold where Barclays remains liable.

An additional charge of £0.7bn has been recognised to reflect an updated estimated cost of PPI redress, primarily relating to an increase in expected future volume of claims.

As at 30 June 2017, the provision of £2.1bn represents Barclays’ best estimate of expected PPI redress. However, it is possible the eventual outcome may differ from the current estimate. We will continue to review the adequacy of provision level in respect of the on-going level of complaints. The FCA marketing campaign commences on 29 August 2017 covering the period until the FCA’s deadline for the bringing the claims in August 2019. The impact of the marketing campaign on Barclays’ provision is uncertain but has been considered in Barclays’ provision estimate.

The PPI provision is calculated using a number of key assumptions which continue to involve significant management judgement and modelling:

●	Customer initiated claim volumes – claims received but not yet processed plus an estimate of future claims initiated by customers where the volume is anticipated to cease after August 2019
●	Average claim redress – the expected average payment to customers for upheld claims based on the type and age of the policy/policies
●	Processing cost per claim – the cost to Barclays of assessing and processing each valid claim

These assumptions remain subjective, in particular due to the uncertainty associated with future claims levels, which include complaints driven by CMC activity.

The current provision represents Barclays’ revised best estimate of all future expected costs of PPI redress based on the information available at the end of H117.

The following table details actual data through to 30 June 2017, key forecast assumptions used in the provision calculation and a sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact on the provision if the future expected assumptions prove too high or too low.

Assumption	Cumulative actual to 30.06.17	Future expected	Sensitivity analysis increase/decrease in provision
Customer initiated claims received and processed1	2,000k	740k	50k = £105m
Average uphold rate per claim3	87%	87%	1% = £17m

2	Gross volumes received including no PPI.
3	Average uphold rate per customer initiated claims received directly by Barclays and proactive mailings, excluding those for which no PPI policy exists.
4	Average redress stated on a per policy basis for future customer initiated complaints received directly by Barclays and proactive mailings.
5	Processing cost per claim is based on customer initiated claims received and processed.

14. Retirement benefits

As at 30 June 2017, the Group’s IAS19 pension surplus across all schemes was £0.4bn (December 2016: £0.4bn deficit). The UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), which is the Group’s main scheme, had a surplus of £0.7bn (December 2016: £27m deficit). The movement for the UKRF was driven by payment of deficit reduction contributions over the last six months, with changes in market conditions largely being neutral.

Triennial valuation

The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the UKRF with an effective date of 30 September 2016 has been completed. This valuation showed a funding deficit of £7.9bn and a funding level of 81.5%, versus £6.0bn funding deficit at the 30 September 2015 update. The increase in funding deficit over that period was mainly driven by the increase in liabilities due to changes in financial conditions, namely from falls in gilt yields and the lower outlook for future investment returns, offset by favourable asset returns over the year and payment of deficit reduction contributions.

The Bank and UKRF Trustee have agreed a revised scheme-specific funding target, statement of funding principles, schedule of contributions, a recovery plan to seek to eliminate the deficit relative to the funding target and some additional support measures. The agreement with the UKRF Trustee also takes into account the changes to the Group structure that will be implemented as a result of ring-fencing1. The UKRF will remain in Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC).

The main differences between the funding and IAS 19 assumptions were a different approach to setting the discount rate and a more conservative longevity assumption for funding.

The deficit reduction contributions agreed with the UKRF Trustee as part of the 30 September 2016 valuation recovery plan are shown alongside the deficit recovery contributions agreed in 2014 for the prior 30 September 2013 valuation.

Year	Deficit contributions 30 September 2016 valuation £	Deficit contributions30 September 2013 valuation £m

2020	500	740
2021	1,000	240 3
2022 to 2026	1,000 each year	-

The deficit reduction contributions are in addition to the regular contributions to meet the Group’s share of the cost of benefits accruing over each year. The next funding valuation of the UKRF is due to be completed in 2020 with an effective date of 30 September 2019.

Other measures agreed at the same time as the Valuation

Collateral - The UKRF Trustee and BBPLC have entered into an arrangement whereby a collateral pool has been put in place to provide security for 88.5% of the UKRF funding deficit as it increases or decreases over time, and associated deficit recovery contributions, with a cap of £9.0bn. The collateral pool is currently made up of government securities and high quality securitisations of credit cards, mortgages and corporate loans. The arrangement provides the UKRF Trustee with dedicated access to the pool of assets in the event of BBPLC not paying a deficit reduction contribution to the UKRF or in the event of BBPLC’s insolvency.

Support from Barclays PLC (BPLC) - In the event of BBPLC not paying a deficit reduction contribution payment required under the 2016 valuation recovery plan by a specified pre-payment date, BPLC has entered into an arrangement whereby it will be required to use, in first priority, dividends received from the UK Ring-Fenced Bank (RFB) (if any) to invest the proceeds in BBPLC (up to the maximum amount of the deficit reduction contribution unpaid by BBPLC). The proceeds of the investment will be used to discharge BBPLC’s unpaid deficit reduction contribution.

Participation - As permitted under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Banking Reform) (Pensions) Regulations 2015, RFB will participate as an employer in the UKRF during a transitional phase until the end of 2025. RFB will make contributions for the future service of its employees who are currently Afterwork members and, in the event of BBPLC's insolvency during this period, RFB would step in as principal employer of the UKRF.

1	Refer to page 236 of the Barclays PLC 2016 Annual Report for further information on structural reform.
2	£620m of the £740m for 2017 had been paid to the UKRF by 30 June 2017.
3	The 2017 contribution included up to £500m payable if the deficit in 2017 exceeded a certain level. If it was paid, the additional amount would be deducted from the 2021 payment due.

15. Called up share capital

Called up share capital comprises 17,034m (December 2016: 16,963m) ordinary shares of 25p each. The increase was largely due to the issuance of shares under employee share schemes and the Barclays PLC Scrip Dividend Programme.

16. Other equity instruments

Other equity instruments of £7,694m (December 2016: £6,449m) include Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities issued by Barclays PLC. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of a GBP AT1 security, with a principal amount of £1,250m.

The AT1 securities are perpetual securities with no fixed maturity and are structured to qualify as AT1 instruments under CRD IV.

Currency translation reserve

The currency translation reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, net of the effects of hedging.

As at 30 June 2017, there was a credit balance of £3,756m (December 2016: £3,051m credit) in the currency translation reserve. The £705m credit movement principally reflected the £1,377m credit movement driven by recycling of the accumulated currency translation losses into the income statement resulting from the partial disposal of BAGL. This credit movement was partially offset by debit movements driven by the weakening of USD against GBP.

Available for sale reserve

The available for sale reserve represents the unrealised change in the fair value of available for sale investments since initial recognition.

As at 30 June 2017, there was a debit balance of £16m (December 2016: £74m debit) in the available for sale reserve. The increase of £58m (2016: £391m decrease) was primarily due to £218m of net gains from changes in fair value on Government Bonds predominantly held in the liquidity pool and the related hedging. There were also £165m of net gains transferred to net profit and a tax charge of £49m was recognised in the period relating to these items.

Cash flow hedging reserve

The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be recycled to the income statement when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.

As at 30 June 2017, there was a credit balance of £1,578m (December 2016: £2,105m credit) in the cash flow hedging reserve. The decrease of £527m (2016: £844m increase) principally reflected a £413m decrease in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes as interest rate forward curves increased and £321m gains transferred to net profit, partially offset by a tax credit of £205m.

Own credit reserve

As a result of the early adoption of the own credit provisions of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2017, own credit which was previously recorded in the income statement is now recognised within other comprehensive income. Changes in own credit in respect of debt instruments are recognised at fair value through the income statement.

As at 30 June 2017, the amount of own credit recognised in the Group’s other comprehensive income was a debit balance of £153m (December 2016: £nil). Upon adoption of IFRS 9, an opening debit balance of £175m was recognised. The increase of £22m (2016: £nil) principally reflected amortisation movements of £32m and a widening of Barclays own credit spreads of £6m, partially offset by tax of £13m and foreign exchange of £3m.

Other reserves and treasury shares

As at 30 June 2017, there was a credit balance of £1,011m (December 2016: £1,011m credit) in other reserves relating to redeemed ordinary and preference shares issued by the Group.

There was a debit balance of £28m (December 2016: £42m debit) in other reserves relating to treasury shares. During the period £294m (2016: £140m) net purchases of treasury shares were made, principally reflecting the increase in shares held for the purposes of employee share schemes, and £308m (2016: £166m) was transferred to retained earnings reflecting the vesting of deferred share based payments.

19. Legal, competition and regulatory matters

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and the Group face legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are beyond our control. The extent of the impact on Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and the Group of these matters cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our operations, financial results, condition and prospects. Matters arising from a set of similar circumstances can give rise to either a contingent liability or a provision, or both, depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. The Group has not disclosed an estimate of the potential financial effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not currently practicable to do so.

Investigations into certain advisory services agreements and other matters and civil action

The UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been conducting investigations into certain advisory services agreements entered into by Barclays Bank PLC.

Background Information

Barclays Bank PLC entered into two advisory services agreements with Qatar Holding LLC (Qatar Holding) in June and October 2008 (the Agreements). The FCA commenced an investigation into whether the Agreements may have related to Barclays PLC’s capital raisings in June and November 2008 (the Capital Raisings). The existence of the June 2008 advisory services agreement was disclosed, but the entry into the advisory services agreement in October 2008 and the fees payable under the Agreements, which amounted to a total of £322m payable over a period of five years, were not disclosed in the announcements or public documents relating to the Capital Raisings. The SFO also commenced an investigation into the Agreements and into a $3bn loan (the Loan) provided by Barclays Bank PLC in November 2008 to the State of Qatar.

SFO Proceedings

In June 2017, the SFO charged Barclays PLC with two offences of conspiring with certain former senior officers and employees of Barclays to commit fraud by false representations relating to the Agreements and one offence of unlawful financial assistance contrary to section 151 of the Companies Act 1985 in relation to the Loan (the Charges). The SFO has informed Barclays that it has not made a decision as to whether it will also bring a charge against Barclays Bank PLC in respect of the Loan. The trial of the Charges has been scheduled to begin in January 2019.

FCA Proceedings and other investigations

In September 2013, the FCA issued warning notices (the Notices) finding that while, Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC believed at the time of the execution of the Agreements that there should be at least some unspecified and undetermined value to be derived from them, the primary purpose of the Agreements was not to obtain advisory services but to make additional payments, which would not be disclosed, for the Qatari participation in the Capital Raisings. The Notices concluded that Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC were in breach of certain disclosure-related listing rules and Barclays PLC was also in breach of Listing Principle 3 (the requirement to act with integrity towards holders and potential holders of the Company’s shares). In this regard, the FCA considers that Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC acted recklessly. The financial penalty provided in the Notices against the Group is £50m. Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC continue to contest the findings. A stay of the FCA action has been lifted. It is possible that the stay may be reimposed due to the SFO proceedings.

In addition, the DOJ and the SEC have been conducting investigations relating to the Agreements.

Civil Action

In January 2016, PCP Capital Partners LLP and PCP International Finance Limited (PCP) served a claim on Barclays Bank PLC seeking damages of £721.4m plus interest and costs for fraudulent misrepresentation and deceit, arising from alleged statements made by Barclays Bank PLC to PCP in relation to the terms on which securities were to be issued to potential investors, allegedly including PCP, in the November 2008 capital raising. Barclays Bank PLC is defending the claim.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period. PCP has made a claim against Barclays Bank PLC totalling £721.4m plus interest and costs. This amount does not necessarily reflect Barclays Bank PLC’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it in that matter.

Investigations into certain business relationships

In 2012, the DOJ and SEC commenced investigations in relation to whether certain relationships with third parties who assist Barclays PLC to win or retain business are compliant with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Various regulators in other jurisdictions are also being briefed on the investigations. Separately, the Group is cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in relation to an investigation into certain of its hiring practices in Asia and elsewhere and is keeping certain regulators in other jurisdictions informed.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Investigations relating to whistleblowing systems and controls

The FCA and PRA are conducting investigations in relation to the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Barclays Bank PLC in connection with certain whistleblowing issues.

Background Information

In April 2017, the FCA and PRA commenced investigations into the CEO as to his individual conduct and senior manager responsibilities relating to Barclays’ whistleblowing programme and to his attempt in 2016 to identify the author of a letter that was treated by Barclays Bank PLC as a whistleblow; and Barclays Bank PLC, as to its responsibilities relating to the attempt by the CEO to identify the author of the letter, as well as Barclays’ systems and controls and culture relating to whistleblowing.

The attempt to identify the author of the letter first came to the attention of the Barclays PLC Board (Board) early in 2017. The Board instructed an external law firm to conduct a focussed investigation into the matter and also notified the FCA and PRA and other relevant authorities. The investigation found, and the Board concluded, that the CEO honestly, but mistakenly, believed that it was permissible to identify the author. However, the Board concluded that the CEO made an error in becoming involved with, and not applying appropriate governance around the matter, and in taking action to attempt to identify the author of the letter. The Board has commissioned independent reviews of Barclay’s relevant processes and controls, including its whistleblowing programme.

Barclays and the CEO are cooperating fully with the FCA and PRA investigations. Barclays is also providing information to, and cooperating with, authorities in the United States with respect to these matters.

Investigation relating to retail structured deposits

The FCA has been conducting an enforcement investigation in relation to structured deposits provided by Barclays Bank PLC and Woolwich Plan Managers Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.

Background Information

In 2015, the FCA commenced an enforcement investigation into the design, manufacture and sale of structured deposit products by Barclays from November 2009 to the present.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the action described on the Group or what effect that it might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Investigation into Americas Wealth & Investment Management advisory business

The SEC has carried out an investigation into certain practices in Barclays' former Wealth Americas investment advisory business relating to certain due diligence failures, fee and billing practices and mutual fund fee waivers and related disclosures. In May 2017, the SEC announced a settlement pursuant to which Barclays Capital Inc. (BCI) agreed to resolve this matter for US$97m, consisting of a penalty of US$30m (to be paid to the SEC) and US$67m (to be paid to the clients) in remediation and disgorgement.

Investigation into suspected money laundering related to foreign exchange transactions in South African operation

Absa Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Barclays Africa Group Limited, identified potentially fraudulent activity by certain of its customers using advance payments for imports in 2014 and 2015 to effect foreign exchange transfers from South Africa to beneficiary accounts located in East Asia, UK, Europe and the US. As a result, the Group conducted a review of relevant activity, processes, systems and controls. The Group is continuing to provide information to relevant authorities as part of the Group’s ongoing cooperation.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Investigations into LIBOR and other benchmarks

Regulators and law enforcement agencies, including certain competition authorities, from a number of governments have been conducting investigations relating to Barclays Bank PLC’s involvement in manipulating certain financial benchmarks, such as LIBOR and EURIBOR.

Background Information

In 2012, Barclays Bank PLC announced that it had reached settlements with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) (as predecessor to the FCA), the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the DOJ in relation to their investigations concerning certain benchmark interest rate submissions, and Barclays Bank PLC paid total penalties of £290m. The settlement with the DOJ was made by entry into a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) which has now expired. Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI have reached settlements with certain other regulators and law enforcement agencies. Barclays Bank PLC continues to respond to requests for information from the SFO in relation to its ongoing LIBOR investigation, including in respect of Barclays Bank PLC. The investigation by the prosecutor’s office in Trani, Italy also remains pending.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

LIBOR and other benchmark civil actions

A number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to LIBOR and/or other benchmarks.

Background Information

Following settlement of the investigations referred to above in ‘Investigations into LIBOR and other Benchmarks’ various individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group. While certain cases have been dismissed or settled subject to approval from the court (and in the case of class actions, the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims), other actions remain pending and their ultimate impact is unclear.

USD LIBOR Cases in MDL Court

The majority of the USD LIBOR cases, which have been filed in various US jurisdictions, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes before a single judge in the SDNY (MDL Court).

The complaints are substantially similar and allege, amongst other things, that Barclays Bank PLC and the other banks individually and collectively violated provisions of the US Sherman Antitrust Act (Antitrust Act), the US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and various state laws by manipulating USD LIBOR rates.

The proposed class actions purported to be brought on behalf of (amongst others) plaintiffs that (i) engaged in USD LIBOR-linked over-the-counter transactions (OTC Class); (ii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked financial instruments on an exchange (Exchange-Based Class); (iii) purchased USD LIBOR-linked debt securities (Debt Securities Class); (iv) purchased adjustable-rate mortgages linked to USD LIBOR (Homeowner Class); or (v) issued loans linked to USD LIBOR (Lender Class).

The lawsuits seek unspecified damages with the exception of five lawsuits, in which the plaintiffs are seeking a combined total in excess of $1.25bn in actual damages against all defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC, plus punitive damages. Some of the lawsuits also seek trebling of damages under the Antitrust Act and RICO.

Between 2013 and 2016, the MDL Court issued a series of decisions effectively dismissing the majority of claims, including antitrust claims, against Barclays Bank PLC and other foreign defendants in both class actions and individual actions. In May 2016, the appeal court reversed the MDL Court’s holding that plaintiffs in certain class actions and individual actions had not suffered an antitrust injury and remanded the antitrust claims to the MDL Court for further consideration. Following further consideration, the MDL Court dismissed the majority of antitrust claims against foreign defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC, for lack of personal jurisdiction. Plaintiffs in a number of individual actions and class actions are appealing the MDL Court’s personal jurisdiction ruling.

In 2014, the MDL Court granted preliminary approval for the settlement of the Exchange-Based Class claims for $20m, of which $5m was paid. The balance of the settlement amount will be paid following final approval of the settlement by the court. Final approval of the settlement is awaiting plaintiff’s submission of a plan for allocation of the settlement proceeds acceptable to the MDL Court and will be subject to the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

In 2015, the OTC Class claims were settled for $120m. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the MDL court in December 2016 but remains subject to final approval and the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims. Payment of $120m was made in June 2017.

In November 2016, $7.1m was paid in settlement of the Debt Securities Class claims. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court but remains subject to final approval and the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and seek to file their own claims.

EURIBOR Case in the SDNY

In 2015, $94m was paid in settlement of a EURIBOR-related class action. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court but remains subject to final approval and the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

Additional USD LIBOR Case in the SDNY

In 2015, an individual action against Barclays Bank PLC and other panel bank defendants was dismissed by the SDNY. The plaintiff alleged that the panel bank defendants conspired to increase USD LIBOR, which caused the value of bonds pledged as collateral for a loan to decrease, ultimately resulting in the sale of the bonds at a low point in the market. The plaintiff’s motion to file a further amended complaint is pending.

Sterling LIBOR Case in SDNY

In 2015, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks by a plaintiff involved in exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives that were linked to Sterling LIBOR. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants manipulated the Sterling LIBOR rate between 2005 and 2010 and, in so doing, committed CEA, Antitrust Act, and RICO violations. In early 2016, this class action was consolidated with an additional putative class action making similar allegations against Barclays Bank PLC and BCI and other Sterling LIBOR panel banks. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss.

Japanese Yen LIBOR Cases in SDNY

In 2012, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC and other Japanese Yen LIBOR panel banks by a plaintiff involved in exchange-traded derivatives. The complaint also names members of the Japanese Bankers Association’s Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (Euroyen TIBOR) panel, of which Barclays Bank PLC is not a member. The complaint alleges, amongst other things, manipulation of the Euroyen TIBOR and Yen LIBOR rates and breaches of the CEA and Antitrust Act between 2006 and 2010. In 2014, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s antitrust claims in full, but sustained the plaintiff’s CEA claims, which are pending. Discovery is ongoing.

In March 2017, a second putative class action concerning Yen LIBOR filed in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI was dismissed in full. The complaint makes similar allegations to the 2012 class action. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal.

SIBOR/SOR Case in the SDNY

A putative class action filed in the SDNY against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, BCI, and other defendants, alleging manipulation of the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR) was dismissed by the court in relation to claims against Barclays for failure to state a claim. The court indicated that plaintiffs will be allowed to amend their complaint.

Non-US Benchmarks Cases

In addition to US actions, legal proceedings have been brought or threatened against the Group in connection with alleged manipulation of LIBOR and EURIBOR in a number of jurisdictions. The number of such proceedings in non-US jurisdictions, the benchmarks to which they relate and the jurisdictions in which they may be brought have increased over time.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Foreign Exchange investigations

Various regulatory and enforcement authorities across multiple jurisdictions have been investigating a range of issues associated with Foreign Exchange sales and trading, including electronic trading.

Background Information

In 2015 the Group reached settlements with the CFTC, the DOJ, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) and the FCA (together, the 2015 Resolving Authorities) in relation to investigations into certain sales and trading practices in the Foreign Exchange market. In connection with these settlements, the Group paid total penalties of approximately $2.38bn and agreed to undertake certain remedial actions.

Under the plea agreement with the DOJ, in addition to a criminal fine, Barclays PLC agreed to a term of probation of three years during which Barclays PLC must, amongst other things, (i) commit no crime whatsoever in violation of the federal laws of the United States, (ii) implement and continue to implement a compliance program designed to prevent and detect the conduct that gave rise to the plea agreement and agreement, (iii) report credible allegations of violations of US antitrust or fraud laws to the relevant U.S. authority, and (iv) strengthen its compliance and internal controls as required by relevant regulatory or enforcement agencies. In January 2017, the US District Court for the District of Connecticut accepted the plea agreement and in accordance with the agreement sentenced Barclays PLC to pay $650m as a fine and $60m for violating the NPA (which amounts are part of the $2.38bn referred to above) and to serve three years of probation from the date of the sentencing order. The Group also continues to provide relevant information to certain of the 2015 Resolving Authorities.

The full text of the DOJ plea agreement, the orders of the CFTC, NYDFS and Federal Reserve, and the Final Notice issued by the FCA related to the settlements referred to above are publicly available on the 2015 Resolving Authorities’ respective websites.

The European Commission (Commission) is one of several authorities conducting an investigation into certain trading practices in the Foreign Exchange market.

The DOJ is also conducting an investigation into conduct relating to certain trading activities in connection with certain transactions during 2011 and 2012. Barclays is providing information to the DOJ and other relevant authorities reviewing this conduct.

In February 2017 the South African Competition Commission (SACC) referred Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and Absa Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Barclays Africa Group Limited, among other banks, to the Competition Tribunal to be prosecuted for breaches of South African antitrust law related to Foreign Exchange trading of South African Rand. The SACC found from its investigation that between 2007 and 2013 the banks had engaged in various forms of collusive behaviour. Barclays was the first to bring the conduct to the attention of the SACC under its leniency programme and has cooperated with, and will continue to cooperate with, the SACC in relation to this matter. The SACC is therefore not seeking an order from the Tribunal to impose any fine on Barclays Bank PLC, BCI or Absa Bank Limited.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of any further financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect they might have on the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

Civil actions in respect of Foreign Exchange

A number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to Foreign Exchange.

Background Information

Following settlement of certain investigations referred to above in ‘Foreign Exchange Investigations’ a number of individuals and corporates in a range of jurisdictions have threatened or brought civil actions against the Group and other banks in relation to Foreign Exchange or may do so in future. Certain of these cases have been dismissed or have been settled subject to final approval from the relevant court (and in the case of class actions, the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims).

Consolidated FX Action

In 2014, a number of civil actions filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging manipulation of Foreign Exchange markets under the Antitrust Act and New York state law and naming several international banks as defendants, including Barclays Bank PLC, were combined into a single consolidated action (Consolidated FX Action). In 2015, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI settled the Consolidated FX Action and paid $384m. The settlement itself is subject to final court approval and the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

ERISA FX Action

Since 2015, several civil actions have been filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs purporting to allege different legal theories of injury (other than those alleged in the Consolidated FX Action) related to alleged manipulation of Foreign Exchange rates and naming several international banks as defendants, including Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI. One such consolidated action asserts claims under the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) statute (ERISA Claims) and includes allegations of conduct that are duplicative of allegations in the other cases, as well as additional allegations about ERISA plans. The Court ruled that the ERISA allegations concerning collusive manipulation of FX rates are covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action, but did not rule on whether allegations characterised by the ERISA plaintiffs as non-collusive manipulation of FX rates are likewise covered by the agreement. In September 2016, the Court dismissed all ERISA Claims (based on both alleged collusive and non-collusive conduct) against Barclays and all other defendants as a matter of law. The ERISA plaintiffs have appealed this decision.

Retail Basis Action

A putative action was filed in the Northern District of California (and subsequently transferred to the SDNY) against several international banks, including Barclays PLC and BCI, on behalf of a putative class of individuals that exchanged currencies on a retail basis at bank branches (Retail Basis Claims). The Court has ruled that the Retail Basis Claims are not covered by the settlement agreement in the Consolidated FX Action. The Court subsequently dismissed all Retail Basis Claims against Barclays and all other defendants. Plaintiffs have requested the Court’s permission to file an amended complaint.

Last Look Actions

In 2015, two putative class actions were filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs alleging injuries based on Barclays’ purported improper rejection of customer trades through Barclays Last Look functionality in Barclays’ FX e-trading platforms In 2016, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI paid $50m and settled one of the actions on a class-wide basis. (The other action was voluntarily dismissed.) The deadline for opting out of the class has expired (a small number of class members have opted out), but the Court has not yet granted final approval of the settlement.

State Law FX Action

In 2016, a putative class action was filed in the SDNY under federal, New York and California law on behalf of proposed classes of stockholders of Exchange Traded Funds and others who supposedly were indirect investors in FX Instruments. The defendants (including Barclays) moved to dismiss the action. Plaintiffs also filed a complaint on behalf of a proposed class of investors under federal and various state laws who traded FX Instruments through FX dealers or brokers not alleged to have manipulated Foreign Exchange Rates. A different group of plaintiffs subsequently filed another action based on the same theories and asserted substantively similar claims. These two actions have been consolidated and a consolidated complaint was filed in June 2017. Defendants (including Barclays) will move to dismiss the action.

Canadian FX Action

Civil actions similar to the Consolidated FX Action have been filed in Canadian courts on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs containing similar factual allegations of manipulation of Foreign Exchange rates and of damages resulting from such manipulation, in violation of Canadian law. The parties have reached a settlement in principle for $14.8m which has been preliminary approved by the Court. Payment of $14.8m was made in July 2017.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Aside from the settlements discussed above, the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period is currently uncertain.

Civil actions in respect of ISDAFIX

In 2014, a number of ISDAFIX related civil actions were filed in the SDNY on behalf of proposed class of plaintiffs, alleging that Barclays Bank PLC, a number of other banks and one broker violated the Antitrust Act and several state laws by engaging in a conspiracy to manipulate the USD ISDAFIX. In 2016, Barclays Bank PLC and BCI entered into a settlement agreement with plaintiffs to resolve the consolidated action and paid $30m, fully resolving all ISDAFIX-related claims that were or could have been brought by the class. The court has preliminarily approved the settlement, which remains subject to final approval and to the right of class members to opt-out of the settlement and to seek to file their own claims.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

The principal financial impact of the actions described on the Group is reflected in the settlement described above.

Metals investigations

Barclays Bank PLC has been providing information to the DOJ, the CFTC and other authorities in connection with investigations into metals and metals-based financial instruments.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Civil actions in respect of the gold and silver fix

Various civil actions have been filed against Barclays Bank PLC and others alleging manipulation of the prices of gold and silver.

Background Information

A number of civil complaints, each on behalf of a proposed class of plaintiffs, have been consolidated and transferred to the SDNY. The complaints allege that Barclays Bank PLC and other members of The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. manipulated the prices of gold and gold derivative contracts in violation of the CEA, the Antitrust Act, and state antitrust and consumer protection laws.

Civil actions have been filed in Canadian courts against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Canada Inc., BCI and Barclays Capital PLC on behalf of proposed classes of plaintiffs containing similar factual allegations of the manipulation of the prices of gold in violation of Canadian law.

In the US, a proposed class of plaintiffs has filed an amended complaint in an existing class action relating to silver, adding several non-silver fixing banks, including Barclays Bank PLC, BCI and Barclays Capital Services Ltd. alleging manipulation of the price of silver in violation of CEA and the antitrust laws.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

US residential and commercial mortgage-related activity and litigation

There have been various investigations and civil litigation relating to secondary market trading of US residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and US commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

Background Information

The Group’s activities within the US residential mortgage sector during the period from 2005 through 2008 included:

	●	sponsoring and underwriting of approximately $39bn of private-label securitisations;
	●	economic underwriting exposure of approximately $34bn for other private-label securitisations;
	●	sales of approximately $0.2bn of loans to government sponsored enterprises (GSEs);
	●	sales of approximately $3bn of loans to others; and
	●	sales of approximately $19.4bn of loans (net of approximately $500m of loans sold during this period and subsequently repurchased) that were originated and sold to third parties by mortgage originator affiliates of an entity that the Group acquired in 2007 (Acquired Subsidiary).

DOJ Civil Action

In December 2016, the DOJ filed a civil complaint against Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays PLC, BCI., Barclays Group US Inc., Barclays US LLC, BCP LLC, Securitized Asset Backed Receivables LLC and Sutton Funding LLC, as well as two former employees, in the US District Court in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) containing a number of allegations, including mail and wire fraud, relating to mortgage-backed securities sold between 2005 and 2007. The DOJ complaint seeks, amongst other relief, unspecified monetary penalties. Barclays is defending the complaint and has filed a motion to dismiss.

RMBS Repurchase Requests

The Group was the sole provider of various loan-level representations and warranties (R&Ws) with respect to:

	●	approximately $5bn of Group sponsored securitisations;
	●	approximately $0.2bn of sales of loans to GSEs; and
	●	approximately $3bn of loans sold to others.

In addition, the Acquired Subsidiary provided R&Ws on all of the $19.4bn of loans it sold to third parties.

R&Ws on the remaining Group sponsored securitisations were primarily provided by third-party originators directly to the securitisation trusts with a Group subsidiary, such as the depositor for the securitisation, providing more limited R&Ws. There are no stated expiration provisions applicable to most R&Ws made by the Group, the Acquired Subsidiary or these third parties.

Under certain circumstances, the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary may be required to repurchase the related loans or make other payments related to such loans if the R&Ws are breached.

The unresolved repurchase requests received on or before 30 June 2017 associated with all R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary on loans sold to GSEs and others and private-label activities had an original unpaid principal balance of approximately $2.1bn at the time of such sale.

The unresolved repurchase requests discussed above relate to civil actions that have been commenced by the trustees for certain RMBS securitisations in which the trustees allege that the Group and/or the Acquired Subsidiary must repurchase loans that violated the operative R&Ws. Such trustees and other parties making repurchase requests have also alleged that the operative R&Ws may have been violated with respect to a greater (but unspecified) amount of loans than the amount of loans previously stated in specific repurchase requests made by such trustees. Cumulative realised losses reported at 30 June 2017 on loans covered by R&Ws made by the Group or the Acquired Subsidiary are approximately $1.3bn. This litigation is ongoing.

In addition, the Acquired Subsidiary is subject to a more advanced civil action seeking, among other things, indemnification for losses allegedly suffered by a loan purchaser as a result of alleged breaches of R&Ws provided by the Acquired Subsidiary in connection with loan sales to the purchaser during the period 1997 to 2007. This litigation is ongoing.

RMBS Securities Claims

As a result of some of the RMBS activities described above, the Group has been party to a number of lawsuits filed by purchasers of RMBS sponsored and/or underwritten by the Group between 2005 and 2008. As a general matter, these lawsuits alleged, among other things, that the RMBS offering materials allegedly relied on by such purchasers contained materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions and generally demanded rescission and recovery of the consideration paid for the RMBS and recovery of monetary losses arising out of their ownership. The Group has resolved the majority of these claims, and only one action currently remains pending.

Approximately $0.1bn of the original face amount of RMBS related to the remaining pending action was outstanding as at 30 June 2017. There were virtually no cumulative realised losses reported on these RMBS as at 30 June 2017. The Group does not expect that, if it were to lose the remaining pending action, any such loss to be material.

Secondary Trading Investigation

The Group has received requests for information and subpoenas from the SEC, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut and the Special Inspector General for the US Troubled Asset Relief Program related to trading practices in the secondary market for both RMBS and CMBS. A settlement was announced in May 2017 pursuant to which BCI agreed to resolve this matter for $16.56m, consisting of $15.56m in disgorgement (to be repaid directly to customers) and $1m in a civil penalty (paid to the SEC).

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Save for the May 2017 settlement, it is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period. The cost of resolving these actions could individually or in aggregate prove to be substantial.

Alternative trading systems and high-frequency trading

The SEC, the New York State Attorney General (NYAG) and regulators in certain other jurisdictions have been investigating a range of issues associated with alternative trading systems (ATSs), including dark pools, and the activities of high-frequency traders.

Background Information

In 2014, the NYAG filed a complaint (NYAG Complaint) against Barclays PLC and BCI in the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging, amongst other things, that Barclays PLC and BCI engaged in fraud and deceptive practices in connection with LX, the Group’s SEC-registered ATS. In February 2016, Barclays reached separate settlement agreements with the SEC and the NYAG to resolve those agencies’ claims against Barclays PLC and BCI relating to the operation of LX and paid $35m to each.

Barclays PLC and BCI have been named in a purported class action by an institutional financial services firm under California law based on allegations similar to those in the NYAG Complaint. In October 2016, the federal court in California granted the motion of Barclays PLC and BCI to dismiss the entire complaint and plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

Following the filing of the NYAG Complaint, Barclays PLC and BCI were also named in a putative shareholder securities class action along with certain of its former CEOs, and its current and a former CFO, as well as an employee (Shareholder Class Action). The plaintiffs claim that holders of Barclays American Depository Receipts (ADRs) suffered damages when the ADRs declined in value as a result of the allegations in the NYAG Complaint. A motion to dismiss the complaint filed by the defendants (including Barclays PLC and BCI), was granted in part and denied in part by the court. In February 2016, the court certified the action as a class action which Barclays is appealing.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

The class actions seek unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

FERC and other civil actions

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has filed a civil action against Barclays Bank PLC and certain of its former traders in connection with allegations that Barclays Bank PLC manipulated the electricity markets in the Western US.

Background Information

In 2012, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause and Notice of Proposed Penalties (Order and Notice) against Barclays Bank PLC and four of its former traders asserting that Barclays Bank PLC and its former traders violated FERC’s Anti-Manipulation Rule by manipulating the electricity markets in and around California from 2006 to 2008, and proposed civil penalties and profit disgorgement to be paid by Barclays Bank PLC.

In 2013, FERC filed a civil action against Barclays Bank PLC and its former traders in the US District Court in California seeking to collect a $435m civil penalty and disgorgement of $34.9m of profits, plus interest. In 2015, the US District Court in California ordered that it would bifurcate its assessment of liabilities and penalties from its assessment of disgorgement. In March 2017, the court denied FERC’s motion for summary affirmance of the penalty assessment and ordered discovery.

In 2015, a civil class action complaint seeking damages of $139.3m was filed in the US District Court for the SDNY against Barclays Bank PLC by Merced Irrigation District, a California utility company, asserting antitrust allegations in connection with Barclays Bank PLC’s purported manipulation of the electricity markets in and around California. The factual allegations mirror those raised in the civil action filed by FERC. In 2016, Barclays Bank PLC motion to dismiss the civil class action for failure to state a claim was granted in part and denied in part by the SDNY. The matter is in discovery.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

FERC has made claims against Barclays Bank PLC totalling $469.9m, plus interest, for civil penalties and profit disgorgement. The civil class action complaint refers to damages of $139.3m. These amounts do not necessarily reflect Barclays Bank PLC’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it in either action.

Treasury auction securities civil actions and related matters

Numerous putative class action complaints have been filed in US Federal Courts against BCI and other financial institutions that have served as primary dealers in US Treasury securities. The complaints have been consolidated in the US Federal Court in New York. The complaints generally allege that defendants conspired to manipulate the US Treasury securities market in violation of US federal antitrust laws, the CEA and state common law. Some complaints also allege that defendants engaged in illegal “spoofing” of the US Treasury market.

Certain governmental authorities are conducting investigations into activities relating to the trading of certain government securities in various markets and Barclays has been providing information to various authorities on an ongoing basis.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

American Depositary Shares

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and various former members of Barclays Bank PLC's Board of Directors have been named as defendants in a securities class action consolidated in the SDNY.

Background Information

The securities class action against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC and various former members of Barclays Bank PLC's Board of Directors alleges misstatements and omissions in offering documents for certain American Depositary Shares issued by Barclays Bank PLC in April 2008 with an original face amount of approximately $2.5 billion (the April 2008 Offering). The plaintiffs assert claims under the Securities Act of 1933, alleging misstatements and omissions concerning (amongst other things) Barclays Bank PLC’s portfolio of mortgage-related (including US subprime-related) securities, Barclays Bank PLC’s exposure to mortgage and credit market risk, and Barclays Bank PLC’s financial condition. The plaintiffs have not specifically alleged the amount of their damages. In June 2016, the SDNY certified the action as a class action. Barclays has moved for summary judgement.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

BDC Finance L.L.C.

BDC Finance L.L.C. (BDC) has filed a complaint against Barclays Bank PLC alleging breach of contract in connection with a portfolio of total return swaps governed by an ISDA Master Agreement (collectively, the Agreement).

Background Information

In 2008, BDC filed a complaint in the NY Supreme Court alleging that Barclays Bank PLC breached the Agreement when it failed to transfer approximately $40m of alleged excess collateral in response to BDC’s 2008 demand (Demand).

BDC asserts that under the Agreement Barclays Bank PLC was not entitled to dispute the Demand before transferring the alleged excess collateral and that even if the Agreement entitled Barclays Bank PLC to dispute the Demand before making the transfer, Barclays Bank PLC failed to dispute the Demand. BDC demands damages totalling $298m plus attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgement interest. A trial on liability issues concluded in April 2017 and the court’s decision is pending.

In 2011, BDC’s investment advisor, BDCM Fund Adviser, L.L.C. and its parent company, Black Diamond Capital Holdings, L.L.C. also sued Barclays Bank PLC and BCI in Connecticut State Court for unspecified damages allegedly resulting from Barclays Bank PLC’s conduct relating to the Agreement, asserting claims for violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and tortious interference with business and prospective business relations. The parties agreed to stay this case.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect that they might have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period. BDC has made claims against the Group totalling $298m plus attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgement interest. This amount does not necessarily reflect the Group’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it.

Civil actions in respect of the US Anti-Terrorism Act

Civil complaints against Barclays Bank PLC and other banks allege engagement in a conspiracy and violation of the US Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).

Background Information

In 2015, an amended civil complaint was filed in the US Federal Court in the EDNY by a group of approximately 250 plaintiffs, alleging that Barclays Bank PLC and a number of other banks engaged in a conspiracy and violated the ATA by facilitating US dollar denominated transactions for the Government of Iran and various Iranian banks, which in turn funded Hezbollah and other attacks that injured or killed the plaintiffs’ family members. Plaintiffs seek to recover for pain, suffering and mental anguish pursuant to the provisions of the ATA, which allows for the tripling of any proven damages and attorneys' fees. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in July 2016, which, among other things, added various plaintiffs, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to approximately 350. In November 2016, defendants filed a motion to dismiss.

In November 2016, a separate civil complaint was filed in the US Federal Court in the Southern District of Illinois by a group of approximately 90 plaintiffs, alleging claims under the ATA against Barclays Bank PLC and a number of other banks. The allegations against Barclays Bank PLC are substantially similar to those in the second amended complaint filed in the US Federal Court in the EDNY action in July 2016. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in January 2017, which, among other things, added various plaintiffs, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to approximately 200. In April 2017, this action was transferred to the US Federal Court in the EDNY, where it is now pending.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

Interest rate swap and credit default swap US civil actions

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and BCI, together with other financial institutions are defendants in interest rate swap and credit default swap antitrust civil actions in the SDNY.

Background Information

Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and BCI, together with other financial institutions that act as market makers for interest rate swaps (IRS), Trade Web, and ICAP, are named as defendants in several antitrust class actions which were consolidated in the SDNY in 2016. The complaints allege defendants conspired to prevent the development of exchanges for IRS and demand unspecified money damages, treble damages and legal fees. Plaintiffs include certain swap execution facilities, as well as buy-side investors. The buy-side investors claim to represent a class that transacted in fixed-for-floating IRS with defendants in the US from 2008 to the present, including, for example, US retirement and pension funds, municipalities, university endowments, corporations, insurance companies and investment funds. Defendants have filed motions to dismiss. In June 2017, a separate suit was filed in the US District Court in the SDNY against the same financial institution defendants in the IRS cases, including Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and BCI, claiming that certain conduct alleged in the IRS cases also caused plaintiff to suffer harm with respect to the Credit Default Swaps market. Defendants will also move to dismiss this action.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the actions described on the Group or what effect it have upon the Group’s operating results, cash flows or financial position in any particular period.

CCUK Finance Limited and CIAC Corporation

In May 2017, Barclays Bank PLC was served with a civil claim by CCUK Finance Limited and CIAC Corporation issued in the English High Court alleging breach of a contractual indemnity, fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of warranty arising out of the sale of a portfolio of credit cards in 2007. Barclays Bank PLC has filed a defence and counterclaim.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

The claim seeks damages of not less than £1bn plus interest and costs. The damages claimed does not necessarily reflect Barclays Bank PLC’s potential financial exposure if a ruling were to be made against it. It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the action described or what effect it might have upon operating results, cash flows or the Group’s financial position in any particular period.

Portuguese Competition Authority investigation

The Portuguese Competition Authority is investigating whether competition law was infringed by the exchange of information about retail credit products amongst 15 banks in Portugal, including the Group, over a period of 11 years with particular reference to mortgages, consumer lending and lending to small and medium enterprises. The Group is cooperating with the investigation.

Claimed Amounts/Financial Impact

It is not currently practicable to provide an estimate of the financial impact of the action described or what effect it might have upon operating results, cash flows or the Group’s financial position in any particular period.

General

The Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters in the UK and US and a number of other overseas jurisdictions. It is subject to legal proceedings by and against the Group which arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time, including (but not limited to) disputes in relation to contracts, securities, debt collection, consumer credit, fraud, trusts, client assets, competition, data protection, money laundering, financial crime, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.

The Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to) consumer protection measures, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of banking and business activities in which the Group is or has been engaged. The Group is co-operating with the relevant authorities and keeping all relevant agencies briefed as appropriate in relation to these matters and others described in this note on an ongoing basis.

At the present time, the Group does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters and the matters specifically described in this note, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter or matters will not be material to the Group’s results of operations or cash flow for a particular period, depending on, amongst other things, the amount of the loss resulting from the matter(s) and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period.

20. Related party transactions

No related party transactions that have taken place in the half year ended 30 June 2017 have materially affected the financial position or the performance of the Group during this period.

Barclays Africa Group Limited

On 1 June 2017, Barclays reduced its holding in BAGL to 16.4% of BAGL’s issued share capital with an obligation to contribute to a BEE scheme leaving a residual holding of 14.9%. This resulted in accounting deconsolidation of BAGL from the Group, with the holding recognised as an available for sale investment. For further detail, see Note 4.

As a consequence of the Group no longer being considered to have a significant influence over BAGL, it ceased to be a related party of the Group on 1 June 2017.

Other related party transactions

Other related party transactions in the half year ended 30 June 2017 were similar in nature to those disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report.

The increase of £1,250m during the period was driven by a £1,250m AT1 issuance by Barclays PLC during the first quarter.

Loans and advances to subsidiary, subordinated liabilities and debt securities in issue

During H117, Barclays PLC issued $2.0bn of Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes included within the subordinated liabilities balance of £5,236m (December 2016: £3,789m), and $5.0bn of Fixed and Floating Rate Senior Notes and £0.95bn of Fixed Rate Senior Notes included within the debt securities in issue balance of £21,225m (December 2016: £16,893m).

Management of internal investments, loans and advances

Barclays PLC retains the discretion to manage the nature of its internal investments in the subsidiaries according to their regulatory and business needs. As we implement our structural reform programme, Barclays PLC will invest capital and funding to Barclays Bank PLC and other Group subsidiaries such as the Group service company, the US IHC and the UK ring-fenced bank.

Appendix: Non-IFRS Performance Measures

The Barclays management believes that the non-IFRS performance measures included in this document provide valuable information to the readers of the financial statements as they enable the reader to identify a more consistent basis for comparing the business’ performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of Barclays PLC and its subsidiaries (the Group). They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and performance is monitored by Barclays’ management.

Any non-IFRS performance measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers should consider the IFRS measures as well.

Non-IFRS performance measures glossary

Return on average allocated tangible equity is calculated as profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (adjusted for the tax credit recorded in reserves in respect of interest payments on other equity instruments) divided by average allocated tangible equity for the period as appropriate, excluding non-controlling and other equity interests for businesses. Allocated tangible equity has been calculated as 12.0% (2016: 11.5%) of CRD IV fully loaded risk weighted assets for each business, adjusted for CRD IV fully loaded capital deductions, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, reflecting the assumptions the Group uses for capital planning purposes. Head Office average tangible equity represents the difference between the Group's average tangible equity and the amounts allocated to businesses.
